List of my Failed Shipping Couples, and why I write for them · 3:12am Dec 5th, 2016
As in related to a previous Blog I posted about THE BURN… and how I write to get rid of stress and sleep better.

As well as another blog about why I write, for shippings and character bashing…
https://www.fimfiction.net/user/DakariKingMykan/blog
Like I said, not a single couple I ever shipped or heavily invested in worked out well. They ALL ended up crashing and burning and each and every one of them made me angrier and angrier, costing me more and more sleep because of the burn and the stress. So I end up making more and more fanfics to not only fix the shipping problems, but to see characterizations and plot THAT I PREFER instead of the garbage I’ve suffocated under in the so-called entertainment these days!
To name several many… and the reasons behind it… (Range from Levels 1-5; The Higher the level, the more serious the Burn.)
LINK AND ZELDA (Lv 2)
The first coupling that set me off (I was 12-14 years old)
The very first Zelda Game I ever touched, or even knew OF The Legend of Zelda was, Ocarina of Time, and I hoped for a romantic ending for Link and Zelda. Instead I got this…
“When peace returns to Hyrule… it will be time for us to say good-bye…”
That hurt a lot, of course back then I didn’t know there was an entire ZELDA FRANCHISE out there, and I also didn’t understand she merely sent him back in time to recapture his youth, which is very understandable, but I still didn’t like it. To me, Link was just losing more and more of his friends, never to see them again.
COURSE OF ACTION: Whenever I played Smash Bros Melee, I would use Link (He is my Ace Character of choice) I was mercilessly beat up computer players and pretend that Link was on a violent rampage due to being overcome with rage and grief that he can’t think straight.
And as other characters, I would select Zelda as a com, and beat her mercilessly.
Still, given the fact THERE IS a potential possibility they can and probably DID have a romance and the fact that ZELDA FICTION was the first kinda Fanfiction I ever read (and how I caught the READING fever) and it made me feel a little better.
…Since there is still much hope for them, and it’s not too serious.
…They are not a huge danger to make many fics over, but it still makes me a little upset.
MAGNUS AND SEPHY (ORPHEN SCION OF SORCERY): (Lv 2-3)
The very first ever PS2 game I ever touched, I was so captivated by the potential couple those two could be, they even showed MANY signs of being attracted to one another (Magnus even getting teased a lot about it)
But as the game progressed, Sephy remains dedicated to her Fiancé (which is highly understandable in some ways to me) even though he dies in the end, she decides to remain on Chaos Island to watch over his grave (again… understandable… in SOME WAYS to me)
But in the ULTIMATE end of the game, the entire adventure turns out to have been a kind of virtual setup by Gaia… the whole thing didn’t REALLY happen to them. Sephy was never real, and even if she is a real woman in real life… she wouldn’t even know him, not to mention her Fiancé, Rufus, is in fact alive.
Well, there goes another one… and that sure burned me.
COURSE OF ACTION: Unknown
-My knowledge of Sorcerer Stabber Orphen is (I don’t even have one) I tried the anime, not only do I NOT like it to watch it all… it doesn’t have anything remotely related to the game (As the game is only BASED on the anime)
-As the whole adventure was a virtual simulation made by Gaia and Sephy never existed… That couple pretty much never had a chance to begin with.
I can’t really make fics or vids about it, but the burn still burns me up.
SHIRO HIGGINS and LAMIA (Starfleet X Bomber) (Lv 3)
Starfleet X Bomber is where I got the main inspiration for Starfleet Magic
I like the song... it's cool, and can't be topped (Make anything original and even TRY, I'll automatically fail it)
(That’s beside the point)
Despite the fact they even CONFESS their love for one another, and deeply reciprocate each other’s feelings… as Lamia is the F-Zero-1, it is her job as goddess of the universe to continue to watch over and try to maintain everlasting peace.
She and Shiro cannot really be together… There goes another one!
Though it’s noble, understandable… it still burns me a little.
COURSE OF ACTION: I often thought of making a fanfic where Shiro is the F-Zero-2 and he IS meant to be with Lamia and they BOTH can watch over the universe.
But as it is only level 3, it’s not too-too serious, and I never got around to it, but it still burns.
Amari Nobunaga and Princess Tsuyu (Inuyasha episode 8: The toad who would be Prince) (Lv 3)
Friends since children… He is in love with her (but keeps it a guarded secret) He knows that she is already married, and is only there to protect her from her husband (Whom has been possessed by a toad demon) He suffers massive injury and humiliation, and even refuses to allow the husband to die for the Princes’ sake.
For obvious reason, he does not end up with his dream girl, nor will she ever know he loved her. Despite it being understandable, I feel bad for the guy… going through all that suffering… and to end up with virtually nothing but a sore arm, embarrassment, and a bad reputation
COURSE OF ACTION: I’ve already made several fanfics where things change and they do end up together, but not without a few fallouts, misunderstandings and curses for Nobunaga (My protocol)
May make more in the future… The burn continues with this one.
JACK FROST AND ELISA (Jack Frost: Rankin/Bass 1979) (Lv 4)
Jack Frost is a somewhat-mischievous but very lonely Winter Sprite whom cannot be seen or heard by any human, and as such he feels lonely as implied in his song…
(I really like that song… I’ve used it for many characters who feel like he does, even Celesto)
He falls in love with a girl named Elisa (Especially when he overhears her saying she is in Love with Jack Frost and wishes to see him) In order to be with her, he is granted a Winter of Humanity and is required, by the first day of Spring, to obtain a House, a Horse, a Bag of Gold, and a Wife, to remain human forever. However, by the end of the special, he not only fails to obtain all four things, but he also finds out that Elisa is in love with a Knight in Golden Armor (Sir Ravenue) and that when she said she was “In love with Jack Frost” it was just being a flight of fancy (She never actually was in love with him.)
A broken hearted Jack turns back into a Sprite for good and must stay content with his being “One of a kind”
To me, that’s so cold… it burns!
COURSE OF ACTION: I’ve made a sequel story to that special, so Jack does get to be with her after all… but it’s the only I have, and it’s lost its charm. (It’s not working anymore) So, since I can’t do much for it… it will burn me forever.
CODY AND GWEN (Total Drama) (Lv 2)
He has a crush on her, and is pretty creepy and stalker like, but he does have talent and a tender-side and he could be an okay guy if she would just give him a chance, though she thinks of him as a pest (Not fair not even giving him a chance… even if he learns to control his weirdness)
COURSE OF ACTION: I’ve written a fic, and may make another. It helped a little… but it just wasn’t enough, and they may have a potential (My theory is… what are they like when the Cameras are OFF… maybe it’s just a show and in real life they ARE BF and GF)
Still, not good enough… Feel the burn!
JONESY AND NIKKI (6teen): (Lv 5)
At the series finale of 6teen, Nikki moves away, despite after 2 eps of even she herself trying to find a way to stay, she accepts and moves on. Though she and Jonesy decide to remain committed to a long distance relationship…
…you know as well as I do LDRs just DON’T DO IT. They never work, and are not a good idea.
Besides, they were among the cutest of all couples among 6teen fans, and when this happened… OOOHH… we were all CRUSHED!!!
(The worst of it is… Feb 11, 2010, when BYE BYE NIKKI first aired… until then, I thought 6teen was THE ONE and ONLY show I thought could never betray me the way all the others had…
…but I was crushed, ultimately for the last time! “I cannot believe… I can’t believe you could disappoint me this much!!”
COURSE OF ACTION: Originally, my 7teen series of fics (Episode like stories) were made to use my own character and stuff… cuz I liked 6teen a lot and like most fans, I imagined having myself in there… Now, I make it to fight not just my burn, but EVERYONE’S burn.
There are so many people burned by this… if it was real fire, the entire Earth would be one massive flame!
It hurts… it really hurts!
DAVIS AND KARI (Digimon Season 2) (Definite Lv 5)
We all know the story of them… Davis having a crush on her…
Well, I frankly don’t like the way Kari treats him…
-Teasing him for quick laughs and pleasure. That’s not cool, not even for a joke. As Mr. Rogers once said: “Real friends don’t make fun of REAL friends”
-Flirting with TK just for the sole purpose of making Davis feel jealous… just see how upset he’ll act-- now… that’s deserving more than just a slap in the face for Kari. She treats him like a toy! Like he doesn’t HAVE feelings, or that his feelings don’t matter to her…!
Many fans have already agreed, Kari is really being a brat and DOES deserve to get hurt for all this, even hinted in what they write…
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/844230/1/Even-the-purest-light-creates-a-shadow
'Oh Davis, I'm so sorry! I never meant to hurt you like this.'
But deep down, she knew she *had* meant to hurt him. She knew that both Davis and TK liked her, and she took advantage of that. She was also teasing them, doing things with TK for the sole purpose of making Davis jealous. She really was a selfish brat, wasn't she?
“Who tells you… that you have the right to play like this with a man’s life/feelings?!” Davis may be the DD with Digiegg of Friendship… but as was quoted in my fanfic “Hatred”…
“Veemon, friendship goes both ways. I’ve tried my very hardest, but I can’t do all the work myself. I can’t be the only friend.” he then cast a look at all the others again “No, they have to do their part as well as I do, but so far, they haven’t been acting like real friends. They tease me, they laugh at me. They don’t even hear me out when I have something important to say. They just expect me to comply with their ways, even though they’re totally wrong most of the time.”
…So I don’t think Kari and the others are being real friends to him. He may have the Digi-Egg, that doesn’t mean he HAS to be taken advantage of.
That’s pretty much the bottom line, and it MEGA BURNS me.
COURSE OF ACTION: Fics… LOTS… and LOTS of Fics
And before you go off with things (Trying to disprove me of things… I got loopholes I can use)
You: 25 years later Davis is obviously married and he has a son, which means he has gotten his crush on Kari.
Me: Did you actually SEE the 25 years where they grew up? I sure didn’t, and we also have no concrete proof Davis ever got married, or they would have shown us his wife or AT LEAST mentioned it (Like Ken and Yolei were married, and Matt and Sora) So for all that we know…
-Maybe Davis just adopted the kid
-Maybe he actually DID marry Kari
-Maybe that guy isn’t THE Davis…
(25 years of unseen footage… ANYTHING is possible)
Perhaps the real Davis died, and some other guy, whom also has a Veemon, took his name, so his friends wouldn’t feel they are without him, and that his good name be remembered and the legacy continued that he left behind.
…It’s not likely… but it IS possible.
You: Davis seems to have gotten over his crush on Kari. He hardly shows it anymore…
Me: Just because he doesn’t show it doesn’t mean it’s not there. He could be repressing it, or saving it for a better time. Maybe even down the road he fell more in love with Kari than ever (ANYTHING is possible in 25 years)
Even during the final battle with Maylo-Myotismon… Davis was not affected by the illusions (Surely he would’ve had a dream about being with Kari)
That’s only slightly possible, but another explanation is…
-His only wish then was to BEAT Maylo-Myotismon. THEN…as in just that time. So he wasn’t thinking about Kari because he knew this was no time to be thinking about things like that only for himself.
-He also knows that Love doesn’t just work that way. He cannot be given love by magic, and that he wants Kari to love him on her own accord.
You: But in the sub version (The Tri adventure)
Me: Save your words… I don’t watch originals. I watch English Dub animes only. (If the anime I want to watch has no English dub… I will not watch it… Period.) I can’t understand Japanese, and I’d rather look at the pictures and hear words I CAN understand rather than look at subtitles and hear words I CAN’T understand… Learning Japanese would be real pointless… I still don’t want to watch Japaneese dubbed animes or shows, and I don’t have conversations with people who are Japanese or know Japanese. There’s no point is having dead weight!
And I don’t watch the Tri adventure, and do not wish to! I don’t care what they say or try, I keep IT, as well as comic books and other things and the ACTUAL Season 02 SEPARATE in their own verses.
…Point is… FICS… needs LOTs of fics for this one. It hurts… A LOT!!
BEAST BOY AND TERRA (Teen Titans) (LV… OVERLOAD… OVERLOAD!!)
The couldn’t be a more tragic one… and it’s way too big for me to write all out and I’d go badly off topic, so I’ll use the following vids to tell you the main stuff.
“This… this cannot go unpunished! BB did not deserve that, Terra and the titans will pay for his pain.”
You can’t move on if the same thing is just going to happen again, and again, and again… and nothing good will ever go your way. (There’s nothing to move on about)
I also feel for BB… because… I went through a THINGS CHANGE episode myself. An old friend of mine whom I knew since kindergarten, acted just like Terra did. No it was not a romance (I didn’t care for romances, never did, and never wanted one)
But still… all I did was approach her to pass her a note from a teacher, and her new friends tell me to get lost, when I’m just doing a teacher’s favor. (Like how Terra’s two friends acted to him)
Worse than that, she has the gall to act like she doesn’t even know me or remember me, when clearly she did. (We were in the same classes again and we already knew who each other were and talked about old memories) Yet she acted just like Terra, and even told me to go away and just SNATCHED the note rudely from me.
I was never mean to her, I didn’t act too hostile when I got angry (We all had our days) Yet it was almost like things change. (Again… not a romance, just a dying friendship)
…and to think, that was all years and years before Teen Titans ever aired!
Then MLP came along… MAN!! That’s another OVERLOAD!!
So much happiness, so much optimism, so much happy ever afters… making it all look so easy. Seeing all that forces ALL the failed shipping down my throat at ONCE… and does it HURT!
Definitely fics for them too… they leave such a scar!
Still, that’s pretty much the pound of flesh…
Not a single one of my shipping ever worked out. NOT ONE!! There is no “Sometimes you just can’t get what you want.” I said I NEVER GOT what I wanted… huge difference…and it can be very frustrating! (This is not something I’m willing to just let go of) and why I storngly despise the terms...
"Things Change" "Move on" "Let it go" ect, ect... (No, it doesn't make me cry like a baby, it just really upsets me)
It's also the main reason I stopped going to movies (more than 10 years ago) I'm just being careful... I don't need more to piss me off and more to write about I got enough as it is. The only reason I keep watching MLP, Teen titans, and the things that burned me is cuz... well they already did burn me... and watch them or not... it doesn't stop. May as well keep with the currents issues.
The burn sometimes gets so intense; I get symptoms of a stroke…
-Hard to breathe
-Rapid heartbeat
-Dizziness/headaches
-Trouble speaking
-Vision problems
-High blood pressure
-Once… it was rough, I actually blacked out and I fell to the floor (Didn’t even feel my head hit the ground)
…those are some signs of a stroke/heart attack.
Making these fics helps me let it loose and blow much needed steam. It helps me sleep better and reduces the anger and stress I feel. NOT doing it is not a good idea…
All this stress can also weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to cancer and other illnesses, and slow down your bodies healing process, making it hard to get rid of the trouble.
-I do not seek professional help for this because it is pointless, it cannot and will not help me, and I will lose money with no results.
The shrink will probably suggest to me things I don’t like, will not approve of, and refuse to comply with due to my disinterest in life and wanting many things OUT of my life, NEVER to be let in again.
But that’s another Blog story.
Anyway… there ya have it. It can really suck to NEVER get what you want, either in Shippig, plotting, character traits… Hence the old saying “You want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself.”
Which means… Do the way YOU PREFER IT… not how others prefer it. It’s your fic! They need to learn to BACK OFF and accept people don’t have to be like them nor write the way they write!
You: We want you to do it RIGHT… make the characters believable, and give their actual traits…
Me: I have said this before… then they might be behaving in ways I will not tolerate and don’t want to be acting like, making me no longer like them, and deem the fic as garbage, and the people who DARe to like them untrustworthy!
You got your way of liking characters, and I got mine!
Now, back to work… This burn is really making me irritable!
(Skip to 11:17 and just play that song)
That was a lot of information to soak in at once. The feels.
Dude that's harsh ;-; I also feel beast boy I believed Terra would the one. They seem so perfect together only for tragedy to struck. It feels so unfair way too unfair even more unfair is that is where that series of teen titans ended with Terra having amenisia or something(tho at least beast boy has raven)if only that series kept going then maybe just maybe Terra would be back with him

I met Khary Patyon (Cyborg) in September. He told me NONE of the VAs liked that episode at all, and it broke all their hearts, but the writers were just lazily trying to END the series... just like that. And it's definitely agreed... Things change was a bad move.

Dang then I really wish they continued you don't end series like that you end it with a bang
4687778
...Like this...?

i always figured they were gonna make a cliffhanger for say another movie. but i agree, that's probably the coldest way to end a kids show
