...

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!

Jack/Norrington is so appealing (because Mr. Davenport is just way more entrancing than Mr. Bloom imho, but this left aside), because they actually represent a challenge for each other. Norrington understood the principal of the "dishonest man" rather soon (probably right after loosing his ship to him) and is most definitely up for the challenge. He would not have let him simply slip away in the end if he was just Hell bent onto seeing him hung. In canon, I think, they will either end up being friends despite being adversaries or talk each other to death ... most likely both. (and in fanfic you can take it a step even further) It's much like a Legolas/Gimli (book style) thing.

Apart from this Elizabeth is just way too cool a female lead to be slashed out, she and Will are right for each other and I see no reason for ripping them apart. Sweet couple.

Not into Sirius/Remus either. I like them as friends, but prefer Snape/Remus as a pairing ... and an occasional Sirius/Snape PWP in-between snack. ^_-

erm. dear. singing to the choir here. I *get* it. I *understand* it. And I *like* adversarially friendly fuckbuddies. But I *don't* get why it doesn't resonate for me.

*blush* erhm well I often missed the point in essay-questions too. (blame it on careless reading after lunch)

Normally I'd say, because Norrington leaves you cold. I am not too much into Will/Jack myself, because while I can see it, I don't find dear William too catching as a character. I don't know if it's the same with you and James.

Sympathies are probably hard to explain.
