Ships That End in a Very Bad Manner *will most likely contain spoilers*

[Mysty]

Have any of your ships ever ended in a way where the shipping was completely smashed as if it had been hit by a wrecking ball, or where something horrible happened to a character to proclude it? Here is you chance to discuss it.

My ship that has not necessarily ended in the past, but doesn't really have a future is Dumbledore x McGonagall. As we know Dumbledore is dead. I know Dumbledore had to die for the series....but....really! Couldn't I get some nice shipping going on. I can only hope that something will be revelead about their past. Or I can smile at the Yule Ball scenes in the movie, because they are shippy.

Another one of my ships that got smashed and trashed was Erik x Christine from Phantom of the Opera. She kisses him, gives him hope, and drives him crazy enough to send her away with Raoul, le Fop de Chagny. Not to mention that the Phantom fandom has some of the worst fanfiction of any fandom alive, so this ship gets trashed evn more. ( I like movie Raoul okay, but the Broadway Raoul I saw was annoying as hell, sorry Mr. Cudia...)

Probably the ship of mine that ended the worst is Sweeney Todd x Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In the classic show, upon discovering that Mrs. Lovett lied to him about Lucy being dead, he dances with her and throws her in the bake oven. Now, while in the new revival we get an incredible amount of extreme shippy moments, (they can't keep their hands off of eachother apparently during the "A Little Priest number) it ends in an even worse manner. What could be worse than being thrown in a bake oven and burned alive you ask? Well good old Sweeney gives her a close shave....he slits her throat. He slits her throat three times.

Yeah. Everyone in the theater goes deathly quiet. And then in comes the helper boy Toby who has gone mad as well.

And from the picture you can probably guess what he does to Todd...slash!(In case you are like WTF is "Sweeney Todd?", the movie Jersey Girl spoofs it. )

The one that comes to mind is Hiei and Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. Someone decided to take a sledgehammer to all of the shippy goodness with a single line in the final episode. Don't remember the exact quote, but...

Spoiler

Kurama tells Hiei that he doesn't swing that way.

I was never even much of a HieiXKurama girl, but it was practically cannon before the last episode.

PotO shippings/fandom have taken a sledgehammer to my childhood love of the play, so I won't even go there.

Spoiler

...I didn't know Hiei even "swung that way"

I'd have to say the shipping that may or may not have ended worst is HarryxHermione. While it's pretty clear now that Hermione and Ron have a thing for each other, I will still write shippy fic...

Let's not forget Arukenimon and Mummymon from Digimon Adventure 02. That ends when they both get killed by MaloMyotismon. (although Mummymon goes down attempting to avenge her)

 

[Transfinite]

I'd say Harry/Dumbledore of course...


And for the latest Xanth novel, I was totally starting to support Hannah/Eve. Of course I knew it wouldn't happen, but still, did Hannah REALLY have to

Spoiler

fall in love with some random robot whose soul chip she SNEEZED ON?

 

[EvoAdmin-Misty Waterflower]

Me and any character of the day girl.... T___T;;;

 

[birdboy2000]

Well, yes. But the fandom generally neglects those two minutes. ^_^

 

[Mysty]

Me and any character of the day girl.... T___T;;;

*hugs* It's okay Takeshii, your fan girls still love you.

 

[Archaic]

Me and any character of the day girl.... T___T;;;

Except for that one girl who scared you...^^;

 

[EvoAdmin-Misty Waterflower]

But that still ended badly. When I started liking her she fell for another guy. ;_;

 

[STJ]

Except for that one girl who scared you...^^;

Hey, aren't you forgetting someone?

To stay on topic, I don't support enough shippings to have been disspointed by ones that haven't turned out, I suppose the worst that has happened to me is that they didn't go anywhere with it..
such as

Freyr/Mayura from Matantei Loki Ragnorok
Thomas/Fiona is Zoids

Though I suppose an open ending is better than your ship being ended badly

I could have sworn Hiei x Kurama was dead anyway, because I always hear the creator announced they weren't gay in the first place.

Crud. I just found an old blow to my ship that may not even be true. Sweeny x Mrs. Lovett that is.

Quote Stephen Sondheim: "During By the Sea, Mrs. Lovett is there hinting at moving to the seaside and getting married, while Sweeney sits plotting his revenge and thinking it would be better to die by the hangman's noose than to go and live "by the sea" with Mrs. Lovett."

Of course the new musical's staging blows that quote to pieces, and I don't think Mr. Sondheim would say something like that.

Ah, see I just watched the anime, never really paid attention to the news about the creator or whatever. But I definitely saw the shipping there, and I'm not even one of those obsessive yaoi fangirls.

Oh. Normally elaborate, but Hiei x Kurama makes me angwy. ;_;

Oh yeah, and any Kikyou ship seems to be heading down the drain. Hehehehehehe. XD
