Couples You Dislike #217: If this is what true love is like, then thank you but we think we'll pass.
► No bashing real life people or other shippers
► No baiting and no defending ► Occasionally mentioning your dislike for a character or show/movie/book is okay, but keep the main discussion of this thread to disliking couples |

Stefan/Caroline - They have chemistry, sure, but it reminds me of that kind you see with siblings that are best friends I'd really hate to see this couple because there is no way they are going to pick one Salvatore for Elena before the final episode - this show is about a love triangle after all - so Stefan will never stop loving Elena. And Caroline's already done that dance with Matt and it got her nothing but tears. Let Caroline have someone who isn't going to be pining away for someone else please.
Elijah/Katherine - You have to disregard everything you know about both characters for this to work. I do believe Katherine loved, as much as she can, Stefan but she was still screwing his brother just because she could. Elijah would require complete loyalty, which Katherine is incapable of providing. And not just sexual and romantic loyalty either. Elijah places a high premium on honesty, a trait Katherine isn't known for. Or honor or bravery. Elijah is, in my opinion, someone Katherine wouldn't even go for because I think she likes her men young and pretty. (Don't get me wrong, I think Elijah is handsome, but he's not a pretty boy like Trevor, Mason, Stefan, and Damon.) And it's weird, because Nina plays both Elena and Katherine, and yet I don't think Katherine and Elijah have any chemistry, unlike E&E. It's like with Katherine/Stefan and Elena/Stefan Nina has tons of chemistry with Paul Wesley when she's playing Katherine but as Elena she has better chemistry with Ian Somerhalder and Daniel Gillies. Damon/Bonnie - I do not get this pairing. I get pairing two characters that have never met, or never expressed an interest in each other; the point of shipping characters like that is that they could be great together, there's untapped potential. But characters that not only flat-out hate each other but do so with good reason?! Be-yond me. Especially when they have no chemistry and are morally and intellectually opposed to one another. I honestly believe that if you told Damon and Bonnie they were destined for each other Bonnie would set her own brain on fire and Damon would take off his ring and walk into the light. Caroline/Elijah - Sugar daddy relationship alert! I think a mentoring relationship could be cute; Daniel Gillies has talked about Elijah's desire to remain in MF and become part of Elena's life and I could see him stepping up to bat to teach Caroline how to be a vampire, teach her to fight, etc. But a romantic or sexual relationship? I love Caroline's bubbliness (most of the time) but it would be too childish next to Elijah's elegant maturity. It'd feel almost......Hugh Hefnerish. This pairing makes me feel like I've been bad touched |

Stefan/Elena Their relationship was founded on lies and manipulations. Stefan entered into a relationship with her and didn't tell her that 1) he was a vampire, 2) he had been a ripper on and off for the last 100 years, 3) he had previously been with a person who looked exactly like Elena, 4) he had been stalking her for quite a while before actually speaking to her, and 5) he had saved her life after the car crash that went on to kill her parents. Then all of that was conveniently swept under the rug because they loved each other so much and their relationship was so epic and nothing could ever tear them apart. Everything bad about their relationship is just swept under the rug. It's never dealt with directly. Stefan never gets crap for what he's done, either in the past or in the present. It's nauseating, the way Elena mindlessly approves of whatever Stefan does. Not to mention, there's absolutely no depth to their relationship. No spark, no depth, no chemistry, no connection. They love each other. They kiss and hug each other and tell each other that they love each other. But that's it. There is absolutely nothing in their relationship that makes me think that they are epic or that they are somehow the couple of the show. Chuck/Blair Finn/Rachel Damon/Bonnie Damon/Katherine Klaus/Katherine Klaus/Anyone Elijah/Elena Max/Tess Max/Anyone But Liz Liz/Anyone But Max Cook/Effy Piz/Veronica Duncan/Veronica Logan/That blonde chick whose name I can't remember currently Sid/Michelle I have a feeling that there are more, but I can't remember them at the moment. __________________

Simon/Alisha: Shallow ship is shallow.
Elena/anyone: Harry/Ginny: One of the most poorly developed/written couples ever. Another shallow ship. Ginny loves Famous Harry. Harry loves Ginny Sue. Fez/Jackie: A joke. Just like the last season of That 70s show. Lucas/Peyton: Bella/anyone/life: Bill/Sookie House/Cuddy Danny/Delinda Scott/Allison Gwen/Arthur Pacey/anyone but Joey __________________

I had the following couples/pairings in mind when I chose this title:
Chuck/Blair. Lucas/Peyton. Brooke/Julian. Stefan/Elena. Damon/Elena. Matt/Caroline. All canon/would-be canon loves I wouldn't want to live even if I was paid. All selfish and/or personality ruining ships. |

Tftnt Lovely title. Instantly makes me think of:
Kate/Jack Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather have a partner who actually likes and respects my personality and does not yell at me or order me around. As unreasonable and demanding as that might sounds to Lost writers Quote:
That is exactly my problem as well. I too really can be softer on heroic characters because I really appreciate their humanist ideal and their bravery. But this guy? He just went around ordering people around without actually showing particular care for them and, was weirdly enough, praised and worshiped for that. Quote:
Cooksus reminded me of Jacksus. I get what you mean about Cook. I've been spoiling myself with random fanvids and I if I can even judge on so little, Cook (or rather the actor who plays him) just seems to have some... amazing on screen presence (I probably missed the phrase here. I cannot remember how to say what I want to say in English). I mean, he just sort of grabs your attention. It's a shame they did not treat his character better. I really don't want to hear him say those boybandy lines or whine. Quote:

My epic fails:
Jack/Gwen hero worshipping at its finest right here. Both hold each other up on the highest pedistol possible and when they fall they fall hard. They dont want to think that the other is human and makes mistakes because to them they're flawless. Right thats a healthy relationship right there. Gwen Cooper/Life Ugh. Most. Hated. Character. Ever. EVER. I hate how she thinks she's so much better than everyone because she has a "life" outside of Torchwood. And that life consists of Rhys who she treats like crap. She slept with Owen multiple times, confessed to Rhys and then drugged him so he'd forget. Lovely woman right there. Oh and she threw a hissy fit when she didnt get her own way saying that the entire team (Owen, Ianto, Tosh) doesnt have a heart or a life outside of Torchwood and they dont know how it feels to be in love with someone. OH LIKE YOU DO GWEN. I dont think I can stomach an entire series of Gwenwood. __________________

Ephram/Madison
Ick! First off, she was 20 and he was 16. It just squicks me out. If he was 20 and she was 24, fine, but he was a minor. Plus, these two had little to no chemistry. And Ephram was so embarassing to watch around her. Oy. Then she gets pregnant and goes to his FATHER, of all people, and still makes the decision to not tell Ephram that she's pregnant. And of course, shows up during the most inoportune (and contrived) moment, when Ephram is auditioning for Juliard. And of course, Andy gets blamed. I was like, hold up. If I was in that position, Madison would have gotten her ass in jail for going after a high school junior. And I'm supposed to feel sorry for her? Yeah, no. I'm so glad I'm not the only non-Bangel fan here. I tolerated them, but it was the ad naseum about how they were each other's loves. What pissed me off is season 3, how Buffy made a big deal about not getting back together with him and low and behold, they get back together. This whole soul vs no soul argument to me is moot. It's not like Angel was possessed. He knew what he was doing, just as he knew what he was doing when he was all soul having. The difference? He didn't have to live with his guilt, and he took full advantage of that. Buffy treating it like he got some disease and didn't remember what he had done was pathetic. He remembered. Angel losing his soul didn't mean he had to turn into a monster again. He chose to. I don't know. As much as I enjoy bad ass Angel over brooding Angel any day, it was a little insensitive to make out with him knowing that he had snapped Jenny Calendar's neck. Jack Malone/Sam Spade Horrible couple. They have an affair and then Sam takes offense when his wife wants to move because she got a job opportunity. What a horrible wife! Please. |

Damon/Elena: Because apparently it's okay to ship a couple when the guy kills her brother in front of her and takes away her choices but you can't ship two people who do not feel romantic feelings for each other but are slowly moving towards a sort of friendship
Spike/Buffy: Because it's okay to ship a couple that had attempted rape as it's major motivator but shipping two people who fell in love during the high school years makes it immature and contrived This is why my major issues with these couples have more to do with the writing than anything else. Nothing makes sense to me story-wise and it always comes off as pandering to the fans. __________________

Damon/Elena
Damon Salvatore/life My most hated couple and character EVER. Damon is a sadistic creep who loves power and control and won't hesitate to kill anyone who reproaches him or anyone who doesn't agree with him. He is a master manipulator.. the way he manipulates his relationship with Stefan.. it makes me ****ing sick He never gets s**t for the things he does.. there is always some lame excuse.. hell if everyone had his excuses then everyone would be off mind raping/raping and killing people He is incredibly disturbing and so disgusting GTFO!! Jacob/Bella Jacob Black/life Eww.. just imagining Jacob making goo goo eyes at Renesmee (who shouldn't even freaking exist) is so effing creepy and gross __________________
