huh.
okay.
need to come clean now methinks because this is gonna make my brain explode if I don't sort this out for myself
namely, that: I'm still a fan of Jack/Will.
there, I said it. And it's not that I don't see what's to be seen in Jack/Norrington, but. yeah. Browsed and picked at some marvelous fic here and there and still. dunno.
It's not like I don't see the possibilities. But. It just doesn't *ping* in my head. Like, I see the Jack/Elizabeth and Jack/Anamaria. But that's not going to make me hunt down fic.
and I don't quite understand it. Because I *get* it, I can see it too. I just don't *feel* it for some reason. It's like this weird hole where you kinda sense that there *should* be some emotion but there *isn't*.
It's a very freaking odd feeling. And I don't get why I'm feeling this way.
It's not like I don't like adversaries or opposites or equals, I do. ::points at pairingslist:: It's not like I don't find Norrington adorable, and even if he doesn't exactly mush my 'hotness' buttons, neither does Bobby (I-Man) or Legolas or Q or Agent Smith or Xander.
So. I'm not getting this. Just to let you know. Even despite reading the reasonings on everyone's journals.
and let's put myself even more on the weenie roast:
I'm not a fan of Sirius/Remus either.
sorry.
[edit] ::headdesk:: ok. I have gone back and bolded the pertinent parts of this post that are apparently being skipped over.
::facepalm:: people. I *GET* Jack/Norrington. You are singing to the choir here. Also, I *LIKE* adversarial relationships and relationships of equals and opposites. Also, personal asethetics has NOTHING to do with my pairing preferences either way ::points at character list in post:: I LIKE some pairings were I feel no lust at all for one character or another.
Though. ok. I realize that this post may have put the Sparrington people on the defensive. I'll give you that. but, dude. Singing to the choir here. I get it. I just don't understand why it's not *pinging* for me on an emotional level based on my previous pairing inclinations...
[edit2] also: to clarify, I'm *not* objecting to the fact that there's J/N discussion. but. perhaps, not too much to ask that the J/N rhetoric cover more ground than what I'd already covered in the post itself?
[edit3] Figured it out! YAY!

The film is based on Will, Jack and Elizabeth so having Norrington in there, i think, makes it harder. The idea of Jack/Will, Jack/Elizabeth and Will/Elizabeth is pushed a lot in the film so i think it's seen as more natural.
I myself always go for the weird pairing and for me, it's Jack/Norrington.
And as for Sirius/Remus... i dunno. I can see the couple in the canon stuff but... I can't stand Sirius in the books, especially OoTP. His character is very... weird, which can be accounted for since the guy spent a whole lotta time in Azkaban. But i just couldn't stand him in OoTP and when he... you-know-whated i was actually happy about it. Now, in terms of the films i'm gonna hate it 'cos i love Gary Oldman. Poor pet.
And don't worry, i don't like Legolas much either. Come to think of it, i don't think i like any of the characters Orlando Bloom has played. And from the sounds of things, when Troy comes out i'm gonna be out for his blood 'cos it's 'cos of him that Hector dies and i like Hector. And hell, they all die 'cos of him. But ok, it's not just him. And... i'll shut up now. Sorry.

and yeah, see, I usually *go* for off-the-wall ::points at various recs lists: and yet. yeah.
I dunno, I thought Orlando looks fine in Pirates, and as for Sirius? meh.

Ah well. We all have our weird couples. It's how we are.

He looks fine. Can't act though. And meh is a very good description for Sirius.
