The only non-dal pairing I can honestly say that I despise right now is Dodger/Angel. I don't think even I know why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that they're too alike. EVERYONE else I ship - or even just am indifferent to shipping - Angel with brings out different aspects of her personality, be they good or bad, but Dodger... Make him female, add a tormented past and hidden vulnerability and he practically IS her. As a mate, he has nothing to offer her in that sense.

I understand that. XD I kinda agree. To me it could work as a fling for a bit - they'd have fun. But ultimately they don't have much to gain from each other other than a good time which will wear off. I like them more as really close friends. I can see them getting along very well.

OH MY GOD I WANT THAT BANNER. XDDD No really, it's amazing. Poor Partner.
Harry Potter
Neville/Luna - I just don't find it interesting. It's harmless and I see the appeal but I just don't like it at all. Harry/Ginny - I'm on and off on this one. I'm one of the few people who loves Ginny and does support this couple but I hate the way Jo Rowling made it happen. If there had been more development, more scenes between them where it was just them with some bonding time and some actual foreshadow I might go for this one more. It's not the pairing really but it's the portrayal. Draco/Harry - No. Draco/Hermione - No. Snape/Lily - I LOVE it as a one-sided crush. I find it ADORABLE. But I don't like the idea of it becoming two-sided because it feels unrealistic. James/Lily - He's an asshole. I'm glad for Harry but I hate James. Sirius/Remus - ADORABLE WOLFY PUPPY COUPLE BUMSEX NYAWWWWW. George/Fred's Girlfriend - This was just an insult. SO OBVIOUSLY ONLY WITH HIM BECAUSE HE REMINDS HER OF HIS DEAD TWIN. Draco/Pansy - Doesn't give a damn about her and she just enjoy the popularity.
Anime
Chiba/Taira (BECK) - Don't get me wrong. I do honestly BELIEVE Taira is gay and I do know my fangirlism gets in the way with me shipping Chiba (well, no. I ship him with like three people actually.) But I can't see Chiba going that way at all. They seem more like they have a buddy-buddy relationship. Taira looks out for him. Chiba looks out for everyone. Doumeki/Watanuki (xxxHolic) - WATANUKI. FREAKING. HATES HIM. Hell, I hate Doumeki for the most part. Hate = Love in yaoi, I know, but really? Doumeki doesn't even have a personality yet we're just supposed to accept that deep down and behind the scenes he's actually worth something. He feels like... SUCH A SPARE. Watanuki/Himawari (xxxHolic) - I used to like this but... it's too much like the fangirl pairings I hate only it's with a boy. To make things worse I know two people like them. The boy pines for the girl and the girl either doesn't really understand his goofy affection or is too kind to set him straight and say no. I love Watanuki and he does deserve to be happy but... Himawari just seems so bad for him. Sakaki/Kaorin (Azumanga Daioh) - Kaorin does not freaking know who Sakaki is. She's no different than any other blinded-by-fantasy-romance girls who idealize the attractive person they have a crush on and fall in love with that. Kaorin sees only the "cool" facade Sakaki unknowingly wears and would probably get bored with the cute-loving, sensitive woman Sakaki actually is. Anyone of the main six would be better-suited for Sakaki than Kaorin. Hell, even <i>Chihiro</i> stands a better chance. Kyo/Tohru (Fruit's Basket) - Yeah. I could rant about why I hate this pairing from sunrise til ten sunrises and sunsets later. Kyo hardly ever takes anything from Tohru that helps him. He's still closed off, still a jerk, still doesn't take a goddamned chill pill and never gives it a rest. Ever. I understand wanting to defeat Yuki and be free but it doesn't make me feel that much more sorry for him. I do like Kyo but I feel like Tohru needs someone who will take her advice to heart and at least try to grow as a person. Basically anyone in the Sohma family that isn't Kyo, Akito, Manga-Shigure or Rin could be a good match for Tohru. They seem to grow up and even if they're reluctant seem to take her advice to heart. At the same time, they also all have much to offer her. Even Kakeru who at first seemed to hate her seemed like he could be good in the end... he has a girl though so let's move on. Yuki/Machi (Fruit's Basket) - I repeat. KILL THE SPARE! She felt useless. Absolutely useless. Hatsuharu/Momiji (Fruit's Basket) - They're always together therefore they must be doing naughty things together. So many more in this fandom but those are (I think) the ones that get to me most. InuYasha/Kagome OR Kikyo (InuYasha) - InuYasha and Kagome are both too emotionally immature to date. Kagome's actually marginally more mature than InuYasha though. Kikyo is too mature for InuYasha. She seems like a woman in her 30's based on her personality while InuYasha acts like he's hardly out of his tween years, the bastard. That and he's a wishy washy bi-polar Edward with Doggy ears and a slutty Bella-Complex. Make up your mind and STFU, "bitch". Shippo/Souten (InuYasha) - Man-girl with Shippo? Nowaikthnx. Shippo never showed any interest in her and she acted like a colossal brat the whole time. It was less like she was a lonely kid out for revenge for the deaths of her brothers and more like a kid trying to avenge her schoolyard cred. -_- InuYasha/Jakotsu (InuYasha) - ... huh. Bankotsu/Jakotsu (InuYasha) - Again. More pretty boys. Hmm. Sesshomaru/Rin (InuYasha) - I LOVE age gap couples but really? I prefer the father-daughter relationship these two have. A relationship ruins that and honestly I like the idea of Sesshomaru getting warmed up by someone he ISN'T in love with. Naraku/Sesshomaru (InuYasha) - Wat.
TV Shows
Alex/Olivia (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) - I've seen just about all of the episodes and honestly I only see them as friends. That IS all they all. The only on-going canon on this show is pretty much Elliot and his wife (much to my disdain). But really, I just don't see it. I mean I realize that girl-love WOULD be more subtle and harder to catch so maybe it's just my own preferences getting int he way of this. Fynn/Munch (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) - I like it as crack. As crack this is just fine by me. I find it hilarious. But when you try to turn it into a serious relationship... it just feels really really weird.
Vocaloids (yes, while technically anime this gets it's own section.)
Gakupo/Luka - She's an uptight snooty self-centered brat and he's a caring, thoughtful, charismatic performer. Yup. Those there are the workings for a great ship. Len/Rin - These two have videos that surprisingly inspired Magnetic in a few ways. I don't mind the incest part. It's just they're too alike in the wrong ways. Little room to develop and grow and honestly I just don't like shipping kids/young teens with one another. I prefer someone older in the mix. Bad Bri, bad. Gakupo/Kaito - I prefer them as a bromance.
I think that's it for me.

Thanks XDDD I just had to make fun of the fact that I seem unable to decide on a permanent pairing for anyone - but especially the three pictured there

I've been waiting for this thread forever. Harry/Ginny = Ok, I know Harry can be annoying, but he deserves better than HER. Ron/Hermione = Why were they paired up if they were screaming at each other the whole series?! *is a total Harry/Hermione fan* Scamp/Vitani = ...Please don't get made at me but I'm not a big fan of these hybrid pairings. Scamp is a goofy, impulsive type while Vitani is a no sh*t type of girl. I can see her getting super pissed at Scamp a lot. Like I said, don't hate me for this. ^ ^; i know Scatani fans that make this pairing work so good and I love that.

...I agree with Scatani, actually. It worked with the 'nice' Vitani popular on TLKFAA, but the real SP Vitani would sooner wipe the floor with him than mate with him

That's what I'm talking about, the Simba's Pride Vitani wouldn't dream of being paired up with anyone, especially with a dog.

Yeah. That's why I support Vitani Alone Forever. I just got... misled for a while due to the number of people on TLKFAA who seem to promote a 'nicer' Vitani. It confused me to her true personality ^^"

Green/Blue (Pokemon´s manga) = No offense to the fans but I don´t like them together D> If they could have more moments on the manga I would like them but...no Uu. Spongebob/Sandy = I know "Wth fang? why a cartoon pairing?why this pairings?" its because this pairings is one of the few than I actually HATE, Sorry but this pairings always annoyed me, Its mostly because I always seen then as friends, nothing more. Lelouch/Suzaku (Code Geass) = NO! =_= Weed/Jerome (Ginga densetsu weed) = Ok, I love to joke about their relationship but Jerome follow blindy anyone who he considers a leader and we cannot ignore that usually ginga dogs don´t have personality Uu Kid/Crona (Soul eater) = C´mon people! They barely interact with each other!

I agree with the Green+Red. =_= Leaf\Silver = No, just...No. She is SO much older than him. I always saw them as a brother sister relationship.
