Spam with lunch!

But not Spam for lunch... Speaking of food, I'm sitting here eating the last of my French fries, with mayo instead of ketchup.

[Poll #641499]

In other spam-worthy news, everyone's doing that fandom favorites meme thing today. So I'll do it, too. For Firefly/Serenity—what else?

Tell me of a fandom you know I know of and I'll tell you...
1. The first character I first fell in love with: Kaylee, I think.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Jayne.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: This used to be River. I just didn't get the River love (especially with "Objects in Space"). The movie totally reversed this, though.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: A lot of people don't like Simon. No, really. I don't understand this, but it's true. Weird, huh?
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Not love a Firefly character? That's unpossible!
6. The character I would shag anytime: SimonSimonSimonSimonSimon!
7. The character I'd want to be like: Zoe. Totally.
8. The character I'd slap: Jayne. You know he'd like it, too.
9. A pairing that I love: Wash/Zoe. I love Simon/Kaylee, but Wash/Zoe are just wonderful. So subtle, so good.
10. A pairing that I despise: If we're talking fanon, it's Jayne/Simon. I'm sorry, but I just DO NOT see the slash on this show, especially not with those two. Jayne isn't into boys! He just ISN'T, and WOULDN'T be. If we're talking canon, it's Simon/River. (Watch the extras for "Our Mrs. Reynolds"—it's canon from River's end. And in "Safe," the subtext is so thick you can cut it with a spork.) I don't like the Crazy Space Incest. Squicky.

Heee. I love that almost all of our Firefly answers are exactly opposite (Space Incest 4-eva!). Although, we both kind of want to slap Jayne in the naughty way.

Jayne slapping: the one thing EVERY girl can agree on. ;)

Oh, yeah. Anything to touch Jayne.

And while I tend to agree with swsa on most of it, I'm with you on the Crazy Space Incest. I understand why it gets shipped, but I'm so not into that. Or the slash. And again, not against slash as a rule (while it's not my cuppa, I totally understand those who ship Spike and Angel), but I really don't see it in Firefly. Like, at all.

I was just saying the same thing with familyarchives last night. Like, we just don't see the slash in the 'verse. And if we do, it's totally Inara/Kaylee. I'll readily admit I'm not a slash fan (except with SV where it runs rampant), but it's especially hard to see it here. Jayne ain't a pitcher, and he's definitely not a catcher. He'd beat Simon within an inch of his life before doing anything with him. The same goes for Mal. And let's just not bring Wash or Book into this argument, either. ;)
