I'm doing a small meme because I like to procrastinate on going to bed :)

Pick 5 of your OTPs and then list which specific moment made them your OTP.
HP: Harry/Hermione
-I don't think I'll have a specific moment for any of these, because I get into ships gradually, and some I fall hard for, other are just brief pleasure cruises. HHr - I fell HARD. I love this ship. Um, if you want to know why in detail, read two or three posts back, where I really go all meta about it. But in short, I love the idea that best friends make the best partners, and Harry and Hermione exemplify that beautifully. I think I got into it... mostly after the PoA movie (right around the time I started getting into fandom and actually finding out what a ship was... I remember having to ask what "shipping" and "OTP" meant... gasp!) and then just after that picking up on all their beautiful stuff in the books. Guh. Love them.
QaF: Brian/Justin
-Again, no specific moment. Although actually I suppose it would be when I watched a music video by G'Baby (don't know their LJ name, I forget) and went OMG PRETTY BOYS KISSING WHO ARE THEY AND WHERE IS THERE MORE?! And the rest is history. The specific thing from that video that really hooked me was the 219 kiss. Guh. GUH! You know, the one where Justin's in red and the camera swirls around them and there's lots and lots of tongue and it lasts FOREVER and is pretty much the sexiest thing since sliced Beatles? Yeah. That one. Still one of my favorite moments from the entire series. So it was love at first sight. But then over time, I fell deeply and madly in love with the actual relationship, not just the boysex... Brian and Justin have the only canon relationship that I really believe to be truly, madly, deeply in love. It's absolutely beautiful and mindblowwing and I'm making myself want to watch the entire series again.
SW: Anakin/Obi-Wan
-I watched RotS in the theater, and I belive my LJ post says something to the effect of "Eh." But I thought the boys were pretty, so I went in search of icons. In the process, I discovered Anakin/Obi-Wan, got curious, delved in further and fell IN LOVE. So the next time I saw the movie, I was squeeing and squirming non stop because they are soinloveomg. Really. They have so much chemistry!! (Which is why I also ship Ewan/Hayden, hee) Yes. Favorite moment? The entire opening sequence of RotS. The witty banter! The gazes! The life-saving! :)
Firefly: Simon/River
-All that I needed to love this pairing was a nudge. Sarah (candlesandcloth) gave me that nudge simply by saying she shipped them. I went... o.O wow, you are so right! And from there there was no turning back. I can't watch Firefly anymore without paying a ridiculous amount of attention to those two. They have the most gorgeous, pure, genuine love I have ever seen. And that's established in 14 episodes - pretty damn impressive. They're just so... so tender, and codependent. They NEED each other. That is the basis on which my love for them is founded. I don't necessarily ship them in the sense that I want them to have sex... but I do feel there is something there that far transcends mundane sibling attachment. That is what I ship.
HP: Remus/Sirius
-Ah, the puppies! Really my first real OTP, I think. I don't remember exactly how I fell for them, but it was another case of wandering fandom, seeing it pop up here and there, going "hmm, that's interesting!" and then... reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
shoebox_project! There is absolutely no looking back from that. I've also read some great essays pointing out the canon for the ship, so as a result I always see that when I read the later books now. Like when they're living together? Or giving joint bday presents? *grins* But I really more ship them Marauder Era, because there is just so much freedom to explore there. So much is left to the imagination. I love that they're opposites, and yet they gravitate towards each other. I love everything about them.
Hmm, so that wasn't as hard as I would have thought! I really don't have that many actual OTPs. There are plenty of pairings that I enjoy, but these ones right here are the ones that are really in my heart. I've done a meme very similar to this one before, but with pictures... I think the list was basically the same, without Simon/River and with a couple other different ones on it. I'll link to it if I can find it! ETA: My OTP meme from June Um, it's actually so similar it's scary. In that one I have Dan/Emma, Ewan/Hayden, Mulder/Scully, and Brian/curt, and no Simon/River. But all the things I say are basically the same. Is that kind of sad? Hm.
ETA: I asked this in one of my first entries ever, but obviously not many people read my journal then.. so I'm asking again. Please give an answer if you have one, or any insight.: "I was wondering something. Where was Lupin during book four? You'd think that, having just been reunited with his best friend, and also realizing he was actually innocent, he would be with him. Regardless of whether they're in love or not. But Sirius does not mention Lupin in his letters, and Lupin's not there when they go to visit the cave. Lupin didn't even come to any of the tasks! So what's up? Did he just go off to live all lonely again, even though he's now got two beloved people potentially back in his life? I can't believe he detached himself so thoroughly from Harry and Sirius, the only remaining testaments to the beauty of the Marauders. If there's an obvious explanation that I'm overlooking, please tell me!
