I know. Who still uses LJ?

But seriously, guys. I’m selling some stuff to help pay for some of my upcoming college expenses and possibly repairing my car. I won’t be working again until I get back to school in August, but my car could really use with some work.

A breakdown, if you’re interested, are things like:

Marvel Comics’ Astonishing X-Men is set to experience a new sound effect on top of its booms, whams, and snikts: the bong of wedding bells. Specifically, it’s the wedding bells of Marvel’s first gay marriage between longtime X-Man Northstar and his civilian boyfriend, Kyle. After pairing up the couple in 2009, Marvel is officially tying their knot in June’s Astonishing X-Men #51.

I don’t ship Dean and Sam, which is a little bit funny that this one came up because I was just discussing this last night. Incest doesn’t really bug me—I ship/ed Dante/Vergil—but with Dean and Sam I’m just not feeling it. Dean is such a big brother to me. It might be because I’m an older sibling that I relate to him and know that I would never do anything with my little sister like that, but I just can’t feel the ship. I’m waiting to ship me some Destiel. : )

Thor/Loki

I used to ship this pairing a lot harder than I do now; I don’t know what happened. I still ship it to some extent, but I think part of me realized how little chance it has of working out. At least in the present Marvel Movie runs. I think that Thor loves Loki and Loki does, deep down, love Thor, but I think that it would alter one of them severely to be in any sort of relationship. I dig them for the hate sex and the conflicting emotions, and sometimes, maybe, Thor picking Loki up if he gets to a breaking point. But beyond that, I just haven’t seen a run of them that’s convinced me.

Sherlock/John

Okay, this is a really complicated ship for me. Looking at it from the BBC and Doyle perspectives, I feel the Sherlock is asexual. It can be a tricky thing to ship an asexual with someone, but I do. I love the way the BBC portrays them, because there’s no sex or homoerotic moments. Homoromantic, maybe, but not erotic, and I love that they’ve kept to that line in the sand. I think that Sherlock and John have a relationship that’s beyond displaying ‘love’ as ‘sex’. There’s loyalty and concern and care there, but I don’t ship them as a couple that has sex, and yet I ship them as something much more than just friends. Does that make sense? XD

Ten/Rose:

I just absolutely love this pairing. It’s surprising how attached I am to them, given that I usually don’t get all that attached to heterosexual relationships. Not that I dislike them all the time, but these two seriously knocked me off my feet with how much I loved them. Now I’m missing my TenToo/Rose RP again. ;__;

These two are another of those pairings I really love, but, if I have to be honest, sometimes I question. I think that they’re perfect in the sense that they’re so opposite. Other times I wonder if the fandom doesn’t twist them a little bit to make sure that they work out the way they want them to. But, either way, I’ll probably ship them for always!
