Jace Herondale & Clarissa Fairchild: Day 8: Valentines Day

Shipname: ClaceDay 8: A ship you want as your Valentine

Clary & Jace, they happen to be two of my favorite people.

I love their spark.

A broken boy healing with time.

It was ironic that it was Clary's father that destroyed Jace.

I hate Valentine for what he did to them.

Warning: People who haven't read Mortal Instruments will probably not understand my rant.

So, anyways. That huge reveal at the end of book one was a shock but deep in my heart, I knew it wasn't true. Valentine was such a bad person. 

I think I hate him most for what he told them.

I was kind of miffed about the whole thing because I was a goner for Clace from the very beginning and there was no way I wanted them to be together if they thought they were...

I was so glad when we learned the truth in the City of Glass even though I never believed it, it was nice to have that out of the way.

And then their relationship in City of Fallen Angels. I don't know why but I still enjoyed it even through all the drama.

It was a little hard for me to get through City of Lost Soul. I was heartbroken about Jace's anguish when he was finally able to take control of himself.

I felt bad for him, I mean the guilt.

City of Heavenly Fire. That was my favorite Clace book.

They were finally together, finally had nothing separating them.

I cherished every little bit of their little cutesy moments, their passionate moments, their funny moments, every moment they shared together.

I love Jace's quirk, his wit, his sarcasm. He is amazing.

Clary was just perfect for him.

They are the kind of people that make each other better people, they make each other stronger. They are awesome together.

I'm hoping to see them in Lady Midnight. I just miss them so much!

I know the movie received a lot of bad reception but I liked Jamie and Lily's chemistry as Clace.

I love the scene with the midnight flower. That was amazing! It was so cute. And the scene with them and the portal! That was cute!

It's taking me some time to get used to the TV Show. I hope I'll fall in love with it someday. It's going to get better. It has to get better. The actors are good but Jace's dialogues aren't what I imagine Jace to say. I'm sure with time I'll come to love the TV show.

But Clace is Clace. And Jace is Jace.

Jace has this other side that he only shares with Clary. He's like this tough guy that doesn't let anyone see anything but with Clary he lets his guard down with her.

I love that their families have a history, Charlotte was a huge part of Will's life. I have a feeling that Clary will be a bridge between Tess and Jace.

I love Clace so much. I just miss them so much! They are amazing!

Etienne St. Clair & Anna Oliphant: Day 7: Kiss Day

Shipname: Annatienne (Maybe?)

Day 7: A ship that makes your heart melt

Anna and Etienne. It's like no matter how much I get, it's not enough.

I just reread the book and I have to say, I fell deeper in lover with it. 

Etienne is definitely the most charming person in this world. He is such a sweetheart!

My favorite thing about him: French Name, English Accent and American School (You'll understand what I mean if you read the book).

This time round I cherished their friendship so much more. I knew how it would go so it was easier not to will them to get over it.

I loved how playful they were with each other, their constant teasing, their fun interactions. Their first meeting was so adorable and from there on it was just... it's something I want.

A friend like that is exactly what everyone needs. I might have been able to bare it if they remained just friends. I'm glad they didn't but I wouldn't have been utterly horrified.

When I read this book the second time around I find myself cherishing those little playful moments they had instead of their romance. I do love their love, though.

I'd find myself smiling at things Etienne would say all the time.

I love how after Bridgit and Toph hurt Anna, Etienne was such a great friend to her.

And when Etienne and Anna weren't on such great terms and he saw Anna cry about Bridget, he was like Do we still hate her? I love that. It's just such a BFF thing to do!

And then the dialogue If you can't tell your best mate then who can you tell?

Any line delivered by Etienne was amazing.

I did think they were both idiots for not coming clean about their feelings earlier.

Also, I thought they were the perfect pick for this prompt because of what Anna says (thinks) after her and Etienne kiss for the first time. She said she finally understood what people meant when they said kissing felt like melting.

I love their point zero wishes, they both wished for each other!

In Lola and the boy next door, any scene with Anna and Etienne was my favorite.

And in Isla and the Happily Ever After, the scene at point zero! That was the best!

These two are just the perfect pair. They're cute, playful, charming, adorable, heartwarming, perfect!

Stefan Salvatore & Elena Gilbert: Day 6: Hug Day

Shipname: Stelena Day 6: A ship you love but others don't seem to

Elena and Stefan.

Let's begin with why I chose these two for hug day because I feel so bad for them. They didn't survive in any world. Not in the Books or the TV shows.
I was all for Delena in the TV show but in the books? Really.

In book 10 we thought it was all dealt with and Stelena was endgame. Damon was probably going to end up with Katherine.

But no. They completely butcher the story. I read about it somewhere and I don't have the guts to read the last three books.

I'm not against Delena but what's wrong with the sweet guy.
The bad boy is fun but I liked Stelena. I actually didn't like the book Delena.

I just can't.

I don't know why they couldn't let us Stelena fans have Stelena at the books. I love them. They're amazing.

In the TV show too, I loved them in the first two seasons. I loved their dynamics in the second season and how they cared for each other. I love Damon, I love Delena but they still don't hold a light to Stelena.

I love the scenes with them in the Gilbert's Lake House. It was so romantic. I miss those days. I loved them. I like Delena. I'm not dissing them. But I like Stelena so much more!

Stelena was sweet and passionate. I will forever miss Stelena no matter how much I love Delena.

RIP Stelena

I don't understand love triangles. I hate them actually. Why can't they just stick with one guy?
Most YA novels have it. I find it hard to root for a ship because I'm always too afraid my ship wouldn't end up being OTP.

I love when it's clear who to ship. I mean that's one of my favorite things about Lunar Chronicles, Anna Lola Isla and the other books I've been reading recently. I've been trying to avoid love triangles because I'm afraid.

Anyways, I love Stelena and yet I love Delena too.

Nicholas Carter & Henrietta Spencer: Day 5: Promise Day

Shipname: Nicholetta (Maybe?)Day 5: A ship do you think holds a lot of potential

Etta and Nick.

When I first started this book I didn't expect to like them so much. They're so much fun.

Etta and Nick are so different from each other. She's a modern day violinist and he's the 18th century
pirate.

They come from different backgrounds and yet they can relate to each other.

I love that Nick came clean about everything himself instead of waiting for her to find out herself.

I like how their relationship is developing, their chemistry is interesting.

I love how they work together and how comfortable they're with each other even though they just met.

I hope in the next book Nick gets to hear Etta play the violin. It'd be so amazing.

I'm a little worried about the end, though. Do they end up in the 21st century or stay in the 18th century. How are they going to make it work?

My biggest reason for not wanting them in the past is because of women's rights back then, not impressive. They didn't have a say in anything. Not publicly anyway.

I want her to be the best she can be and personally, I think he'd be better off in the future too, away from his grandfather and racist people.

Anyways. Right now I don't have much to say about them except that I expect them to go somewhere great.

I'm looking forward to their reunion and them figuring out a way to be together!

Kaito & Linh Cinder: Day 4: Teddy Day

Shipname: KaiderDay 4: A cute ship

Cinder and Kai are the cutest.

From the very beginning, there was this awkwardness around them that made my heart melt. It was relatable. Not everyone has the confidence thing working for them.

When Cinder and Kai first meet, I wasn't really sold on them but as the book progressed I saw potential.

They had such hurdles to face that neither of them truly seemed their age. Cinder was sixteen! Having to start a revolution, running from your evil aunt, evading the authorities of Earth and moon must be hard. Also, taking over a kingdom.

Their relationship kind of made them more their age. They actually did seem young. They were unsure and scared. That's normal.

I really hoped that Kai would've reacted better. But even I had to let him off about that one. Not only did he find out that the girl he had a crush on was a Cyborg, but she was also a Lunar. And the only way to save his people was to marry the evil tyrant.

I love that Kai still believed in Cinder even though he had no reason to. A part of him didn't care about anything other than her.

I love the ending scene of Cress. I have no idea how many times I re-read it. That scene when she reveals her identity to him and explains things. Sigh!

I love that her computer system was counting their every kiss. That was so romantic. I know it's cheesy and stupid but it's cute.
I hate that he actually did get married to Levana though. It's gross.

Deep in my heart, I really hoped somehow he'd get away with not marrying her. I hoped Cinder would succeed before the wedding.

When I was reading Winter, that scene. I was literally in pain. My heart was beating so fast. I was a mess. I'm not usually that emotional. I remember the person in the room with me while I was reading it looking at me like I was crazy. I had to take a break from reading every few minutes to gather myself.

I told everyone I knew about Kai having to marry the woman he loved's aunt in order to save the world and how I wish he could be saved from her. And how he knew she'd kill him as soon as she got what she wanted. I think people started to think I was a little nuts.

I know he mentions having it annulled, that's something that brings me immense peace.

I keep wondering how they'll make it work though when they're on different planets. I know she said she'd dissolve monarchy but I don't want her to. She worked so hard. I mean a government is needed but I think alongside that, there should be a monarchy too. I mean a seat for the Queen on the government, as an equal.

So, in Stars, Above we found out Cinder became the Ambassador for Luna on Earth. I still wish she played a bigger part in Lunar Politics.
Anyways, the scenes between Kai and Cinder in Something Old Something New were amazing. The moment when they saw each other again.

"You're an expert on the sound levels of spaceships now, are you?"- Cinder
"Nah, I've just been waiting to hear that sound all day."- Kai
"Aces. They haven't even kissed yet and they're already making me nauseous."- Thorne

I love that scene in the hallway where they properly reunite.

"Is that an acceptable amount of small talk?"- Kai
"Acceptable to me."- Cinder

I love their scene in the end, where he proposes to her and Cinder's retina scan tells her it's his mother's ring. I love everything about that short story!

I love that Cinder shared the Hanger with him! God, I could gush about them forever if I had to!
For now, I hope they live a happily ever after.

Carswell Thorne & Crescent Darnel: Day 3: Chocolate Day

Shipname: CresswellDay 3: A sugary sweet ship

Cress and Throne are so sweet.

I love their dynamic.

When we first met Thorne, I was smitten by his charm. He was the typical cocky best friend to Cinder's kickass female heroine.

In book three, meeting Cress was kind of surreal. I felt so bad for the poor girl. She was all alone in the space shuttle or whatever.

Also, Little Cress. That program was Cress's only friend. I try to imagine what living in that kind of solitude would be like and come up with nothing.

Cress had this crush on Thorne before she even met him as she helped the Rampion squad. And add to that her zero social experience and his huge ego. It was a recipe for amazingness.

I loved seeing them grow close in Cress (Book). I love the scene where he cuts her hair! I don't know why but I love it.

And the scene where the crew first met Cress over the D-Com and Thorne was like "Is that all hair?" scaring the poor girl.

I love that Thorne tries to be a better man for her because Cress deserves the best.

Though that scene in the Casino. I really wanted to punch him.

Those moments they spent in the desert trying to survive... Man.
I love that he kept his promise.
Don't let me die unkissed, Captain.

Thorne believes he's not worth her love because he's not what she thinks he is. He doesn't think he's the hero she makes him out to be.

Under all his cocky bravado, he is still a little insecure and just wants to be the best man he can be.
I love how even after he get's his sight back he still depends on Cress a little.

In Winter, my love for this ship just increases.
I love how he completely loses it when Cress gets separated from the group, you can clearly see how much he loves her.

My favorite Cresswell scene in the entire series is the one in the maintenance closet at the Palace before the coronation. They finally come out and say it like it is. That scene was beautiful.

Also, let's talk about her outfit. I keep trying to picture how that could have gotten in their way. The wings and I think they mentioned antennae. Anyways, I love it when she confronts him and he's like I thought it was you! And she's like you love me? It's all too sweet!

I'm just going to skip all the other things that happened and jump to the end.

I love that Cress decides to stay on the Rampion as Thorne works to pay off the Rampion.
I love the last scene in Winter and then in Stars Above! I know it wasn't centered on them but we still saw a bit of the, and that was amazing. They were just so sweet!

I love that Thorne made it a personal goal to show Cress as much of the world as he could! He's just so sweet under all his bravado and flirting!
They kind of remind me of Disney's Flynn and Rapunzel. To me, it seemed to me based on them more than the original story even though the blind thing came from the original story.

They are definitely one of the sweetest ships ever!

Edward Cullen & Bella Swan: Day 2: Propose Day

Shipname: BedwardDay 2: A ship you are committed to despite what people say

Bella and Edward.

Can someone please come up with a great ship name? I mean Clace, Sizzy, Malec, Stelena, Delena, and so many more ship names out there actually sound decent, Clace being my fav. Why can't we have one for Bella and Edward?

Now that is one controversial ship. It is also my first ship.

Twilight was one of the first books I read, I wasn't a huge reader before that, I didn't read anything that wasn't school mandated before that.

I read Twilight the year Breaking Dawn Part 1 came out. Yeah, that late. But honestly, I wasn't that aware of the hype about it until much later.

Bella and Edward have a special place in my heart even though I've found so many more ships but they still have a special part in my life.

When I think of Bella and Edward I think forever.

They're kind of cheesy and I know their passion isn't fiery but they are one of the most important ships to me.

What they have isn't some fleeting romance, it's lasting and beautiful. It might be a little exaggerated but it is something that everyone wishes for.

In the first book, I thought they were amazing. They had something you wish you could. Though New Moon brought my love for them a little. I mean Bella turns into Moaning Myrtle.

But in the end, I still love them.

I love that Edward loves her enough to leave in order to protect her but I still that was wrong and that she had the right to choose. And he shouldn't have assumed.

One of my least favorite things about Edward was that he thought it was okay to decide things for her at times, but what people say about him being overbearing is wrong. He's just looking out for.

Also, people say Bella just takes his shit. Wrong. She does what she wants. Even though she's a human, she makes her own decisions even while she's among Vampires. Examples of that available in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

I love that Edward wrote her a lullaby. It was such a sweet gesture. I really like musical people. They seem to have such deep souls.

And my favorite aspect of Edward and Bella's relationship is after she turns into a vampire. It's like she's finally herself. Completely. And they're finally complete. They'equals in ever sense of the world. I actually liked Bella as a person more in the final book.

She's stronger, not just physically, but as a character, she whole personality becomes charismatic. It's she's finally comfortable in her own skin and I like her better. 

I like how the two of them were with Renesmee. She was amazing. The the whole Jacob thing was creepy. I know it wasn't meant to be but it just didn't sit well.

Also. Edward in the first half of the book was a jerk. Again, let her make the decision. And yes it was his decision too and he didn't want to loose her but it was still not truly his choice. But it was still something I could get over.

I have one question. Where was the hate for Twilight before the movies? Where was Team Jacob before then?

It's like the movies brought up things that didn't exist. When I read the books, I couldn't even imagine Bella with Jacob. It was completely one-sided. I mean can't a girl be friends with a guy without him assuming she's in love with him?

And Jacob goes as far as blackmailing her. I mean he's like I'll kill myself if you don't kiss me. I know I exaggerated it but it did seem like that.

Team Jacob was basically Team Lautner.

I like Lautner, he's a good actor but Team Jacob doesn't exist! Not in Bella's mind!

And like most books, Harry Potter being a huge exception, the movies bring in haters! In the book to movie adaptations, things get lost in translation.

Like the meadow scene in the first movie. It was nothing like the book. The book scene was amazing, the movie one. Creepy.

I'm the person that finds hate to be too strong of a word. And Twilight isn't that bad.

The books are pretty great. 

And Bedward is amazing. I'm still not sure about the ship name. This ship's been around for ten years and we don't even have an official ship name.

In my mind when I think of ships, this is the first that comes up. It's not the best ship, it's not even my favorite ship but it is special.

I fell in love with reading because of these two people and I could never regret loving them or be ashamed of them because of others opinions. To me, they're more than just characters. They changed my life. Without books, I don't know where I'd be.

I'm not the kind person that takes offense the moment someone knocks on my OTP, people have the right to feel what they feel but I have the right to feel what I feel. It's not like I'm trying to make someone else like them, all I'm asking is that let me be. I can love whatsoever I like. And this Ship is definitely one of them.

I fell more in love with Twilight because of the fan-fictions. In those stories, we get to see the characters as other perceive them too.

Anyways, you can feel what you want about this ship. I'm not going to say that you're wrong, 'cause there are a lot of things that I didn't like too but I still love them.

Everything has flaws, every person has flaws and knocking someone down for having a flaw is wrong. 

To me, imperfection is perfection.

Haters gonna hate, but I'll on sailing this ship.

Merik Nihar & Safiya fon Hasstrel: Day 1: Rose Day

Shipname: Mafiya (Maybe?)

Day 1: A ship you just met and love already

Safiya and Merik.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

The two of them just entered my life through the wonderful book, Truthwitch. Even though their story just began, they already found a place in my heart.

I love them. They're so fierce and passionate. I loved seeing them interact with each other and others. I loved Safi's fire and her protectiveness of Iseult. And I got the same vibe with Merik and Kullen.

Safi and Merik have four books to create something epic and beautiful and I have high expectations for them.

The moment they met was amazing. They have this enchanting vibe about them. It's like they're on fire.

My favorite thing about them is that they don't keep things bottled up. They fight. I love their fights. We can't really call them banter. It's like full on fighting.

I think one of my favorite scenes from this book was the scene where the battle each other after Merik refuses to dock the ship.

I was kind of rooting for her to pin him down even though he was using his powers. But that scene was so cute.

Also, I'm curious as to how he found out about her truth witchery. And I loved his reaction to finding out that the emperor had declared her his betroth. I mean I could kind of sense his jealousy. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking.

And that scene at the very end before he goes back to the ship to Kullen and she runs with Iseult. God, I loved it.

At first, they're both denying having any feelings towards each other.

And she's like you're the last person I'll ever be with. And he's like right back at ya!

And I'm like yeah. We all see it.

And then that scene gets so amazing. I love that he finally realized what Kullen meant by losing control of his witchery!

Also, every time I mention Kullen I feel so sad, he shouldn't have died so early, or at all.

Back to Merik and Safiya.

I loved the scenes where they tried to understand each other. See things from each other's point of view. I love that Safiya sacrificed herself for the sake of his kingdom. Not because of him but because it was worth saving.

I really wish we got a more in-depth reaction from Merik about Safiya's letter.

Also. One thing that really stood out to me was the word Tumble. Does anyone use that term Anyways? I loved how Merik and Safiya's relationship flourished. Their raw passion was visible from the very first page and I loved it.

They're my favorite 2016 ship as of now. They were amazing.

Valentines Ship Week Tag

All fans have a special place in their hearts for their ships. I have a million but some of them, they worm their way so deep into your heart that they become a part of you.

In a way, those Ships are a part of who I am and any fangirl/boy can relate to the feeling. I don't need anything else as long as I have these ships surrounding me.

Some I've loved for a while now and some just set sail but each of them is precious in their own unique way.

So, as we all know, February is the Valentines Month. And personally I love nothing more than my ships (well almost nothing) so I decided to do a challenge. Valentines Ship Week. Anyone who wants to give this a shot can go ahead.

For 1 week leading up to Valentines Day ie, 7-13 Feb, I've decided that I will post about ships I absolutely adore or see the potential in based on the prompts.

Each day has a new ship. I tag you all to do this with me. You don't need to do all of them, just do whatever you want and let me see your posts or videos or something.

Their Fractured Lights

I like Sophia and Gideon, I really do but this book was a little too rushed. It tried to fit so much in so little. I thought the two of them could've been more receptive towards each other, though.

Also, why would he confuse her for Towers?

After the first book, I couldn't really give my all to this series. But I would like to think at the end of this book Lilac became normal. I mean they describe her as normal looking, no longer inhumanly perfect. I just can't move past that. I believe in resurrection in books, I love having people resurrected but not like this. I don't want her to be human and I think she is in the end.


Anyway, that has nothing to do with this book and honestly, this didn't stand out to me all that much. I liked the first two books more. But I wouldn't consider it a waste of time.

Sophia and Gideon both learn to not be alone and trust each other and themselves again after they go through so much.

They're both broken, they're both after LaRoux. One seeking Justice and the other Revenge.

I thought there could've been a little more character development with Sophia since we saw this other side of her in this book and maybe we could've jumped a little deeper into her mind or something.

Anyways, this book completed the Starbound arc leaving me with just one unanswered question. 

Is Lilac human?
