Ghost Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The idea of "shipping" characters in a fictional universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) What? Like getting shipped elsewhere? That happens in real life. I could hop on a freighter and get shipped to Hong Kong. That isn't too much of a stretch for one's imagination, is it? It prrobably means something else but I'm happy to remain ignorant.

I suspect Robin has teamed up with Alien to kick seven shades of shit out of that gay alien no Star Wars nerd likes. This would be too improbable to accept as Robin is based in 1960's Gotham according to episode 2 of series 5 of the first manga translation of the original stage play.

ME Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I always try to make things better. Sometimes I'm good at it, sometimes it backfires. But I always try. And right now it's a struggle. There's nothing wrong with a challenge but I hate feeling pointless. I hate feeling helpless. It genuinely pissed me off. It's in my nature to cheer up. And I hate that right now my silver lining is that I don't shag a family member and I've never been "tempted" by an animal. ..............I had a point but VT might be forever tainted for me..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like a moment for this song. Although True colours shining through could have a double meaning in this context. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm looking after a mate's apartment for a few days. I can see Griffin Park from here. It's a stones throw from his building. In the row of houses below are a family - one has a Brentford shirt on, but two of the kids are wearing United tops FFS. They could probably kick their football into Griffin Park from where their garden is. Plenty of kids in Sky4 shirts next door to VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) It took 16 minutes between turning on my PC at work this morning and being able to open an email in Outlook. I think I've got a legitimate case for having a new PC at work. IT disagrees Edited May 7, 2013 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've got a legitimate case for having a new PC at work. IT disagrees About the same for me. 20 minutes is not unusual. To be fair, that's not just bootup, it's bootup, connect to the network, download a shitload of apps, and then open the ones I'll need. Still, it's another chance for a bit of a read.

Stevo985 Posted May 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'll take your Lady Gaga and raise you Lana Del Ray, what a miserable, boring performer she is. Put a bloody smile on your face when you sing! She looks disinterested in what she does which also makes her seem incredibly arrogant. I might not mind so much if her songs were interesting or I thought she could sing. What a total waste of space. Also, on the topic of talentless musical artists... He's shit at writing songs, he can't sing and needs an auto-tuner and his lyrics are terrible. Then he attempts to play guitar - I suspect because he thinks having an electric guitar looks cool slung around your back, so he thought he should at least give it a go. An absolutely talentless moron. It enrages me to know there are so many genuinely talented bands and artists out there who can't get a break in the industry, yet the charts are filled with shit like Lil Wayne. "Mrs Officer" is an absolute tune to be fair to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping is when characters from a fictional universe/story get put into romantic/erotic relationships by fans of said story. Eg. Batman and Robin "doing the dirty." Fan-fiction in general creeps me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2013 Shipping is when characters from a fictional universe/story get put into romantic/erotic relationships by fans of said story. I thought that was called "slash"? (As in Batman/Robin, Ron/Hermione, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I don't know how or why I know this but slash fiction is an off-shoot of fan fiction, when it's guy/guy. So yeah Batman and Robin would fall under that category. Edited May 7, 2013 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
