05. Sokka/Toph + Zuko/Katara (A:TLA) I still can’t choose which otp I love most from this show. They both hold such a special place in my heart. I love the close friendship each has, albeit each a very different friendship and perhaps that’s why I can’t choose which one I prefer, simply because the dynamic differs so much. Tokka is that fun, let’s prank our friends, teasing friendship, while Zutara is that more we’re not so different after all, but have so much in common, I relate to you so much friendship. But it’s been so clear that both relationships have so much faith and trust in each other.

04. Korra/Asami Sato (Legend of Korra) Do I even have to explain why this lovely pair made it into my top five? ;) In all honesty, though, back with S1 I was mainly an Iroh/Asami shipper (I still like that ship, but it’s not my most favourite anymore), until a friend of mine pointed out the potential Korrasami could have and after that I was sold. It’s the ship you really wanted to become canon, but never expected it to be, and then to your pleasant surprise it actually did become canon! I truly rejoiced with the series finale and that beautiful ending (beginning) they received. 

03. Pacey Witter/Joey Potter (Dawson’s Creek)  I wonder how much Pacey/Joey fics I would have written if I had known about fandom when I was watching this show. (Answer: A lot.) I love these two so so much, you have no idea. And even after all the rewatches (minus season five, I tend to skip that season), I still love them so much. 

Favourite quote: “You gotta learn to read between the banter, Pacey.”

02. Dick Grayson/Artemis Crock (Young Justice)  This could have been everything! I still don’t understand why they weren’t canon tbh. As I’ve stated plenty a time on my blog, they were so great together, because they understood each other (they had so much in common) and trusted each other so much (best stealth partners on the team). 

I’m still mad we never got to see how Artemis found out about Dick’s real identity and we never got to see them laugh about it that some day, though. I really feel cheated over this, not afraid to admit that.

Favourite quote: “I know exactly what you mean.”

01. Taichi Yagami/Mimi Tachikawa (Digimon)  This is the otp of all otps (as is, like Traught, probably very obvious based on my blog). This is the otp that got me into fandom all those years ago. So of course this otp was going to earn the number one spot.

I really do believe they could have been everything as well. Their personalities just go so great together and could make for such interesting dynamic: They’re both fun-loving, passionate and tenacious (let’s say stubborn, haha). 

As I’ve mentioned before in a different post, I love the “perhaps, maybe, almost, finally; a will they/won’t they” scenario for them, mainly because it fits them to a tee. I can see them becoming closer and closer as friends, because they understand each other so well, and then being utterly and completely in denial about how they truly feel about each other. Everyone around them would place bets on “when it’ll finally officially happen” (and especially Hikari and Sora would be very invested in their budding relationship - shippers on deck). And of couse there will be screw-ups and misunderstandings, because again they’re both tenacious (stubborn) and also careful to not get their hearts broken because this (them) is so very real (and lbr the ones who seem the bravest aren’t fearless), to which we travel into the “what happened? what went wrong? why couldn’t we make it work?” realm of their relationship. Until they really do learn from their mistakes and can’t keep running away from this, so when it finally officially happens it’ll be one of those “I love you. I love you so much. I’ve always loved you and always will love you.” confessions. 

(You can even easily throw in a friends with benefits-storyline for them.)

Favourite quote: “Aren’t you too?”

(Clearly I have a type: best friends who love to challenge each other, who love engaging in witty playful banter with each other, who have so much in common and above all trust each other.)
