Fraser/Kowalski is a big pairing, I know. But have you guys seen Strangers with Candy? A lot of people haven't and, let me tell you, most people I've turned on to the series have fallen in love with it. Chuck and Geoffrey (and their illicit gay affair) is an integral part of the show.

Strangers with Candy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_with_candy)

The Premise: Jerri Blank (portrayed by Amy Sedaris (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0781238/)) is a forty-six year old woman who, after getting out of jail, moves back home and enrolls in high school. The show is a parody of after school specials, and so each episode has a 'lesson' - the drugs episode, the snitching episode, the racism episode, etc. However, Jerri never seems to get the lesson quite right. The show is HUGELY offensive yet RIDICULOUSLY funny.

The Guys:

Charles "Chuck" Noblet, going through his rock star phase
Noblet (portrayed by Stephen Colbert (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0170306/)) is the Social Science teacher at Flatpoint High, where Jerri goes to school. He is married to a woman named Claire, whose name he NEVER remembers, and has one son, but he is gay gay gay. He's closeted, though, so he makes a point of telling people that he's married.

Geoffrey Jellineck, pronounced 'JOFF-rey'
Jellineck (portrayed by Paul Dinello (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227576/)) is the Arts teacher at Flatpoint High. Along with the principle and the coach, he and Noblet make up the only regular staff at the school. Jellineck fancies himself an artist, but he is untalented and lazy. He is also the most narcissistic character I have ever seen XD

The 'Ship: Chuck/Geoffrey is established as canon in the second episode, which opens with them flirting (and then having sex) in a public washroom. (Okay, we don't actually see the sex, but trust me on this (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x25y0g_bathroom_people)). Throughout the series they continue to have sex on the school grounds, including in the boiler room and in various bathrooms. They keep their relationship a secret, or try to, mostly because of Chuck's insecurities. As seen in Hit and Run, Chuck is terrified of coming out as 'friendly' with Geoffrey. Meanwhile, Geoffrey's fairly effeminate and flamboyant, and in that same episode he tries to be more public with Chuck ... before he's hit by the car, anyway. They are both seriously screwed up individuals (Chuck is hateful and spiteful, not to mention his issues with being gay; Geoffrey is narcissistic and rude) and yet, in their own way, they love eachother. Kind of. It is important to note that when they do finally come out (in the last episode, infront of a class of students) no one even bats an eye.

3x07 - Ask Jerri (Chuck is willing to kill Geoffrey in order to keep their affair a secret)
3x10 - The Last Temptation of Blank (Three words: "Hot, ass-thumping, sex.")

It shows how old we are when we know who Meg and Calvin are ;)

WTF is that Stephan Colbert?!

I noticed we have a LOT of anime pairings. Lol, the only one I know is Tohru/Kyo from Fruits Basket.

Groping Paul Dinello, you mean? XD Yes, it is!

HA!

Sometimes I like him, sometimes I don't. Like when he spoke at the journalist dinner at the White House. Even if you don't/didn't like Bush, he was really disrespectful :P

Still, his show is pretty funny and he seems like a really intelligent guy.

I'm a fan of his, yeah. Not everything he does tickles my funnybone the right way, but mostly I like his stuff.

(Interesting fact: he's a Catholic Sunday School teacher.)

Same.

(Seriously? I don't know why that cracks me up. Would explain his interview on Fox a few years ago)

I really hate to point out an error, but both Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are from DC universe, not Marvel.
But great job with such an array of pairings. It's great to see some of my new ships along with my originals. :D

It cracks me up, so don't worry about it. He doesn't scream 'devoted Catholic' to me, you know? :-P

I really need to re-watch this soon. I'd forgotten how adorable Stephen was.

2x09 - The Blank Stare Part Two
Jellineck: Hey, Jerri! I know you're in there. Listen, I have no idea what you went through. I don't have any answers, I'm not acting in your best interests. Why won't you trust me?
Jerri: I wanna go back! Those people care about me!
Jellineck: Yes, maybe that's true. But do they care about me? I don't think so. Do you see the flaw in your logic now?
Jerri: No.
Jellineck: Agh! I can't reach her! She's lost in some frightening world that isn't centered around me!

3x6 - Invisible Love
Noblet: Hey, mister, eyes on your own test.
Student: But we're not taking a test.
Noblet: I can fix that right now. Okay, everybody get out a piece of paper! Hey, don't get angry with me, blame Mister Nosy-Eyes here. Question number one: Explain Western history. Be specific; support your answer.

3x10 - The Last Temptation of Blank

Noblet:As it is the end of our school year, I thought it would be be-hoovy if I used my final lesson to talk about eschatology, or the study of the end of things. Now, I asked my lover, Mr. Jellineck, to make some transparencies.
Jellineck: He's just kidding, we're not lovers. We just have sex.
Noblet: Hot, ass-thumping sex.

I know, he's so young!

Bless.

Yay for Ten/Rose love!!

Absolutely agree!

Also, Daine/Numair hasn't got the coverage Marisa/Asriel had, what with the movie and all..

I voted for Daine/Numair. D: They're just so...kdjfhdfkjg. <3

God, I love these two <3

V/Logan! amazing

Jean/Logan hell no! even worse you posted Greg Land art which is all traced from porno. Bad porno! I may have to vote against them just for that (and scott's hotter!)

#73 was hell. :(

Hee, I didn't know that about the porno, but I beg to differ -- it must be pretty hot to give these results. (But at least we're 50% in agreement! ;) Logan/Veronica ♥)

Oh man, some great pairings here! Artemis/Holly, Marisa/Asriel, Logan/Veronica, and Jeremy/Jaime for the win! (Btw, Jeremy/Jaime competes twice--not that it's winning either time...)

It lists them as Marvel, but they are both DC comics characters.

Arguments over pairing preferences have honestly been a big reason why I ended up leaving fandom in general. Because a lot of people either couldn't respect each other's opinions and feelings or just couldn't have mature debates regarding them.

That said, I'll be honest, that in the beginning I couldn't stand Relena. But, this was.. I have no idea how long ago. Back when it was aired on Cartoon Network? I was really turned off by her behavior and wished someone would grant her wish already. But, as I recently watched the series again, I grew to respect her, and now I adore her. I do adore the Heero/Relena pair too. My top pairing with Gundam Wing is Heero/Duo, but I'm also pretty fond of Heero and Relena as well.

I think it's horrible and unfair for fandom to make you feel like crap regarding pairings. And I'm sorry you've gone through that. :\ But on a positive note, thank you for sharing links and pictures! The one above is really pretty. ♥ Also, sorry for rambling quite a bit here~ ^^; I tend to talk too much sometimes, hehe.

omg, just where can i find/read/preferably download these from?
