Couples meme

[birdienl]

I've seen this meme go around lately and thought I'd give it a try:

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.

I'm very bad at guessing these hints myself. Often I don't see the obvious, until someone points it out to me and I go "Ofcourse! (facepalm)" So maybe I made these hints too easy, but I'm curious to see what you come up with!!

1. Wants so much more from live/Will not always be a chauffeur Sybil/Branson from Downton Abbey, guessed by crazymaryt
2. He fights the law/She fights for her loved ones by William Garrow/Lady Sarah from Garrow's Law, guessed by lunalove24

This is a cool meme.

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Yes, you're right ofcourse! Thanks for replying!

[crazymaryt.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I didn't get #17. *hangs head in shame*

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Ah well, I think you're use of icon quite makes up for it!

[crazymaryt.livejournal.com]

Glad I was able to make up for it.

I think I may snag this meme. (if I can think of 20 ships that anyone would know LOL)

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

And another beautiful A/B icon!

I'm looking forward to what you'll make of it!

Is 11 Ned/Chuck and 13 Molly/Roger?

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

One out of two! With 13 you were right, but 11 is another couple.

[spally.livejournal.com]

This is great, although only number 13 leaped out at me. I'm so curious to see the answers!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

And which did you think 13 was?

[spally.livejournal.com]

Molly and Roger from Wives and Daughters?

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Yes, absolutely!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Did you get 'any' of them right? You've got them all right! Congrats!

[litlover12.livejournal.com]

Oh, goody! :-) I was a little unsure about a few of them.

[ever-maedhros.livejournal.com]

Is 7 Bella Wilfur and John Rokesmith from Our Mutual Friend?

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is! Very good, I didn't think they'd be guessed, but I see I underestimated my period drama friends!

[richyl88.livejournal.com]

I seem to be awful at this but here it goes:

2.Graham/Emma

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

You're right!

[richyl88.livejournal.com]

yay :)

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you meant #4. Number 2 is not Graham/Emma, although that description could very well apply to them, now I think of it!

[deeplyunhip.livejournal.com]

#5 - Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester?
#18 -Aragorn and Arwen?

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Very good!

[ladyadeone.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Is #5 Jane/Rochester? : D
And #18 must be Arwen/Aragorn!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Very good, both right!

[lunalove24.livejournal.com]

#2 : William Garrow/Lady Sarah Hill?

Btw, I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR8i-tkAU_c

O_o

[lunalove24.livejournal.com]

Oh, and
#12 : Jack/Aliena?

:)

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Another one right!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Yes, you're right! I was surprised no one guessed that one yet, because the series has just been on!

Thanks for the link!

[lunalove24.livejournal.com]

Yeay! Two in a row! :D

And you're welcome. I found it by accident and figured you'd like to know. ;)

[lunalove24.livejournal.com]

#3 : Castle/Beckett?

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Nope, unfortunately no three in a row ;-)

You know, I don't think I've friended you yet, and as we seem to talk quite a lot now, I will if you're alright with that

[lunalove24.livejournal.com]

Damn. Well I can't be right all the time. It'll just go to my head. ;)

Go ahead, I was actually gonna ask you the same thing. :D
