misscam(Warning! If you take shipping too seriously, you may find this insulting. A point-and-mock approach is advised for all viewers, as is chocolate. We hope you enjoy the show.)
David Attenburough tells you about animal behaviour in the wild. Me, I thought I'd tell showcase you a bit of 'shipping in the jungles of CSI.
Be veddy, veddy quiet now. We mustn't scare them with our approach.
I don't need no Canon for the show in my head!
seriously though, i think she could be his kid. something happened with cath and eddie and they split and, being the guy gil is, she moved in with gil for a while. blah blah blah. sex. pregnant. didn't know it. moved back in with eddie cuz he begged her for another chance. and voila! linds' is gil's daughter.
otally think she's Gil's Like someone already mentioned she looks More like Gil then she ever did Eddie
and I agree on the Paternity test NOW thats an ep I"d LOVE to see
As you can see, this breed of shipper replies heavily on her developed ability to see only what she wants to see, in this case Grissom&Catherine under the shining rainbow of TWUWUB & babies. Unfortunately, this does sometimes leave the 'See-No-OTP-Contradictions, Hear-No-OTP-Contradictions' just a tad vunerable to to the great Canon monster.
For coming between my sacred OTP, you must die
2) Pairings are sacred.
Here's where I get crazy. If I ship Danny and Martin, it means I ship Danny and Martin. It also means that if you ship, say, Sam and Martin? I don't want to know you. This is not open for negotiation.
Oh yes. We are in luck today. It's the 'OTP or Death!' out in force, sniffing the wind. Notice the finally crafted insults launched at any intruder into the lair. Marvel at the social hierarchy where the tiniest doubt is crushed from above.
I hate Sara. That makes it totally okay for me to bash her in fics (Be warned, this one mature in nature and hazardeous to sense.)
Gil quickly reached down into Sara’s jeans and grabbed her underpants and gave her the tightest wedgie he could muster.
"April Fools!" he mumbled then turned and ran out the door like a bat out of hell.
Stand well back, my dears. It's the Basher, and like a red cloth at a bull, any mention of Sara may send her raging towards us. This breed cares not for Canon, logic or taste. She wants only to stick her venemous spikes into her prey. Let's leave her to her substitute meat and hope she doesn't catch the real thing.
'Your ship is wrong!' 'No, yours is!'
No its sick its like her and hodges getting together its like you sleeping with your grand dad bring on sara and catherine
Nooooooooo! No Sara and Catherine! Sara is way too good for her
Ooooh! You see that ahead? Two shippers are fighting it out over territory. Notice the choice of weapons and method of attack, expressions of disgust countered by the insistent exclamation of 'Noooooo!'
Needy McPantload and the Sprok
Since "they" call Sophia by a condesending name (wtf is the whole Spork thing about anyway??) I think it's only fair that we come up with a nasty little condesending name for Sara...
Aaah, we are here witnessing a change of tactics between two warring tribes. See how adaptable they are in face of the prospect of the other getting one up on them. Notice how quick they are to mimic. The creativity in insults is a common trait among this breed, though you may notice certain traditional words always win through.
Let me show you the error of yours ways by insulting you
Oh my goodness..there are crackpots back there who think Griss and Cath are in love! I mean, Griss And Sara are soo ment to be..they are always flirting, and they obvioslyLOVE eachother...And Catherine and Warrick are in to it..but now catherine is jealous cuz warrick is married
Halt! You see that? It's the Ship Defender, running through the Internet to let everyone see reason through insulting a rival ship. This behaviour is commonly spotted in the young, eager for accept within their own tribe. Unfortunately for her, she's run into a Tribe Elder, who do not stand for such obvious hunting methods.
How dare you steal our sacred ship name!
GSR is NOT GrissomSofiaRelationship, it's GrissomSARARelationship. No Spork. EVER!
Yes... Be very still. A tribe has discovered another tribe to use the same Holy Name for a ship. We may see the beginning of a religious war. Make sure you take your pictures, this may be a moment of history.
I hate your ship - I've got the icons to prove it!
Grissom/Sara?In your delusion GSR dreams!!!
Quick, shades on! The glare you see ahead is the shiny of the OTP Icon Avenger, stalking the underbush with her graphic weapon. Do not look directly at the light. It may drive you into Photoshop madness.
My slash couple is real, dammit! Real!
If I was ever skeptical about Eads before, these pictures changed that. He is sooooo in the closet!
How sweet! Eric must have a deep emotional commitment to George, as well. He needn't grin and bear it as I'm sure he'll have other prospects but instead wishes to work through their problems. That's what most couples do.
Arguing every point almost as if to try and convince us they're not a couple or not gay, insinuating or declaring we are harming George or Eric in any way, is a good indication you really don't believe and this may not be the place for you.
This truly is a wonderous moment. A Real Person Shipper feeding ground. Be very still, we do not wish to alarm them. The shipping connoisseurs among you may notice certain similarities to the Domlijah Tinhat Trip, last seen disappearing into the darker parts of the LotR delta. Notice the expert use of tools to pick apart what seems to be logic to discover the True Gospel beneath. Watch the emphasis on the wrongness of facial hair. Truly, this is a marvel of the shipping kingdom, a breed some even refuse to believe exist.
And this, I'm afraid, marks the end of our journey today. Next week, we shall look deeper into the fanfic battleground, and the various rituals and mating dances therein. Until then, good night and true love to you all.

Date: 2005-10-26 02:29 am (UTC)Serious point I will never understand, however - why people would watch a show in which the one of the leads makes them physically ill. There are a few actors I hate with an irrational, immature passion. It happens. So even if Grissom and Sara got their own Skinemax special 'Body Scene Investigation in Bermuda' if they cast like, George Lopez in the show, I wouldn't watch. I will never not be bumfuzzled by this phenomenon, no matter how many rationalizations I can generate for it.

The Harry/Hermione shippers immediately attacked him. He brushed it off and told them that if they had a fucking stick up their ass, to kindly remove it. (That was my more lewd, impolite translation, not his actual words...I think his words were more along the lines of "Calm down...")
