Sorry if I’m writing a lot of dross lately, but my mind is freaking tired and all I can seem to do is make lists. So, without further ado (and after that FABULOUS intoduction), a whole bunch of people who totally belong together!
- The top spot is a three-way-tie between:
a. Lyra Silvertongue-Belacqua and Will …Whatshisname of His Dark Materials (Philip Pullman.) Okay children, this is one for the books. Even though it only eventuates right at the end and even though they’re like, twelve, and even though they are split up at the end of the book… let’s face it, they have the whole fucking universe hanging on them.
b. Bella Swan and Edward Cullen of Twilight (Stephenie Meyer.) Now, you may not have heard of this pair – they’re not that well known. But they’d better be meant to be because they are going to have to put up with be with each other for the rest of eternity. Here’s to marital bliss! *Cheers*
c. Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor (Gale Harold and Randy Harrison respectively) of Queer As Folk. Yes folks, (see the pun? I’m being humourous!) it took ‘em five long years… and they’re STILL not together! But you know, whether they see each other next weekend, next month, never again, it doesn’t matter. It’s only time. *Sobs hysterically* - Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely of Harry Potter (uh… JK Rowling.) I could never get as into Harry/Ginny as I could in Hermione/Ron. And they’re better in the movies as well. But really, we could all see them pairing off from the start, no?
- Sam and Joanna Anderson of Love Actually (Thomas Sangster and Olivia Olson respectively. But I’d hope you could match the name with the gender anyway.) Run Sam, run!
- Kim Boggs and Edward Scissorhands of Edward Scissorhands (Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp, as above.) “Hold me,” “…I can’t.” Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
- Romeo and Juliet of Romeo and Juliet (William Shakespeare.) *Sighs* I suppose they have to go SOMEWHERE on this list, those star-crossed… people. But secretly, I just don’t see it.
- Ross Geller and Rachel Green of Friends(David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, as above.) Fifteen years, a nose job and a kid later, we’re happy families!
- Howard Roark and Dominique Francon of The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand.) A few exchanged looks lead to what could easily be construed as rape which leads to a few semi-violent encounters which lead public verbal bashings which lead to some semblance of a functional relationship. Not. However, these freaks entirely belong with each other.
- Will and Elizabeth of Pirates of the Caribbean (Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly.) One of the reasons I sat through the films.
- Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton of The Notebook (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.) It took me a couple of tries to get into this movie. And I still didn’t like it. But my friend here is about to shoot me in the head if I don’t include them.
- Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton of High School Musical (Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Zac Efron.) Okay, don’t even pretend you don’t love it. High School Musical – who said we had to let it go? Despite the ending of the third film being all twerpy.
Well, this is all that springs to mind at the moment. I know it sounds like I’m just a romantic sap, but really… I guess I am. Among other things.
