Ships I’ve Shipped Today That I Never Shipped Before
Dawn x Connor (Buffyverse) - You guys, seriously. This makes perfect sense, and I have literally no idea why it’s never occurred to me before. They’re the same age. They have similarly fucked-up origin stories and issues. (OK, so Connor’s is more fucked-up by an order of magnitude, but given that this is the Buffyverse we’re talking about, Dawn still gets a pretty sucky go of things.) And the one thing they both really need is someone beyond their immediate circle to talk to, someone who’ll understand what they’ve been through, and given that they both head off to college at about the same time - Dawn post Buffy S7, Connor post Angel S5 - it’s completely reasonable that they might meet, either randomly or through mutual acquaintances, and get to know one another. They could have the relationship that Buffy and Angel never got to have, even if it was only a proper supportive friendship sans any romance. But it is an actual goddamn crime that these two never meet canonically, and therefore I ship it.
Scar x Shere Khan (The Lion King/The Jungle Book) - Oh, come on. Two sassy, snarky, slinky, villainous felines out to get what they can? As we speak, I’m picturing them living together in some immaculately decked-out cave, behaving exactly like the big cat versions of Derek Jacobi and Ian MacKellan in Vicious, drinking tea out of porcelain cups and critiquing the lousy fashion sense of every other animal they encounter. I SO ship it.
