Topic: Favorite ships
Okay, gonna get another debate going. What's your favorite ship and WHY? No, saying that Claire and John are just so cute together won't cut it. I need in-depth analysis!

For me, I have to go with Andy and Allison. I think they're interesting because they're so different, yet they seem to connect on a deeper level, and I think they see through each other, past all of the surface garbage. That sounded really cheesy, LOL. Whatever. I like John and Claire, too, but they seem a little too stereotypical. I think that when someone writes them well, they can be very interesting and sweet and entertaining, though.

Okay, that's my two cents. I can pretty much guess what most people are gonna say about this (authors and readers alike), but I'm interested in hearing why they feel this way.

Andy and Ally just fascinate me for some odd reason. I'm not mad on Ally on her own as a character yet put her with Andy and she suddenly becomes seriously interesting. I think it's the fact that these two people were never meant to be together, but yet they are and its working, and perhaps neither of them is entirely sure why. Neither of them particularly like to 'dump their purses on the couch and invite ppl into their problems' which can prob make for a rocky relationship when things aren't going great, which again really interests me.

Plus they looked so CUTE together when they left detention!!

OH god do we know where this is going?? hahaha...Kendall!

Anways I have two...as you all know. But Allison and Andrew are my favourites. I think the biggest thing is that they NEVER saw it coming. John and Claire were foreshadowed and hinting all through the damn movie. Andy and Allison pretty much fell into each other based on true raw emotions and feelings rather than a physical attraction or a good time. I also think that it is great that they are truly polar opposites. John and Claire are more of the 'good girl looking to loosen up' and 'bad boy looking for a nice challenge' (that's the way I see them anyways...I ALWAYS LIKE A DEBATE PEOPLE!). Andy and Allison just don't know what to do with each other, yet at the same time are just mesmerized and fascinated by the other. A relationship on true raw emotion is much more appealing than a physical attraction.

As for my other ship it is non-canon so I don't know if it counts. But I would like the idea of Bender/Allison just because they could very well relate to each other. I think that they would have this underlying understanding of what it is like to be a total outsider and reject with some major problems. And plus they could f-up so much ** together! It would just be really fun.

So anyways, that is my reasoning and I really like this post because I am kinda interested to know myself. So come on people...speak up!!!

If you think John and Allison relate because of their outsider status, what about Allison and Brian? Brian even put them in a group by themselves ("us weirdos"), but didn't include Bender. Dun dun dun! What would a Brian and Allison relationship look like do you think? I don't ship Allison/Brian, but it's not the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. *shrug*

LOL I think it could work. You definitely have a point there and seeing Brian all jittery with her freakiness would definitely be hilarious. He did show some signs of confusion and apprehension while around her, so I think it would be rather humerous. LOL, I never really thought about it.

I just wonder what they would see in each other that would attract them. There was no romantic chemistry between them in the movie (that I could see), but I wonder if anything would develop afterwards. Like maybe everyone really does reject Allison and Brian, so they stick together? I see Allison being too weird for him, though. I don't think he would really get her at all, and I think she would be bothered by his rambling (which is totally unfair LOL). After all, she was ready to shoot him in the head when he was talking about the Physics Club banquet. But, hmmm...maybe I'm not giving Brian enough credit. Maybe he would get used to her oddness and accept it...and maybe she would grow fond of his rambling and paranoia, LOL. That would definitely be an interesting relationship, to be sure.

Well you all know that I am one of the biggest Andy/Allison fans out there. I love how different they are but they still really understand each other. Like how Andrew was the first to see that Allison only wanted people to think she wanted to run away. They have a real connection... I don't know how to explain it, but they do. However although I am a big Andy/Allison shipper I do enjoy Claire/John. I've actually been liking the idea of Claire/John more lately. Something about the good girl and the bad boy...together. Maybe I've just been watching Gilmore Girls too much...but I love the idea of a good girl and a bad boy. And both couples are very very cute with each other.

XOXO, Hannah

I wanted to reply to Allison/Brian!

I think it would be so hilarious to see them together (now that I think about it).

I think the only way that they would ever get 'together' would be if everyone else ditched them off. I can't really see them getting together any other way.

I think Allison would be put off by Brian's rambling...she isn't very talkative...but on the other hand she would probably be a good listener. For all we know, she would be the quiet one and he would be the one entertaining them both with stories (if we ignore her pretending to blow his head off).

Allison's antics might be a bit much for Brian though...he looked like he was gonna puke at lunch time, die when she said the word 'nymphomaniac', and have a stroke when she emptied her person next to him. He also almost freaked when she spouted off his personal information. If anything, I think you were giving Brian too much credit. lol.

See that's where I see her better with Bender. With the exception of the sandwich thing, he took everything she did like it was nothing, normal every day life to him. Her antics didn't bother him at all. In fact, when she did the whole '**/prude' speech to Claire...Bender was grinning ear to ear because Al was making her squirm so much. The two of them together would probably cause a lot of damage here and there...but I think they would make a good team. I am all for the action and adventure...so that's where I see their fun coming into play.

Claire would (to me, anyways) just be such a tight wad with him. He would probably have to whine, and yell, and ** just to get her to do anything (i.e lip stick between the boobies). She's just such a square. I don't know.

Oh about the whole good girl/bad boy thing...if people are into that cliche so much, why aren't there any Brian/Claire shippers? You know, the whole 'dorky nerd gets most popular girl in school' (ie sixteen candles, encino man, etc). Why doesn't anyone look at that aspect? I think they would be fun together...she never seemed to be bothered by his rambling, LMAO!

Actually, I think Brian would get kind of used to her weirdness after a while. When they were on the couch (as mentioned in the other thread), he obviously thought she was weird, but kind of grew comfortable with that fact, asking her about being a shopping bag lady, etc. And in the circle, when Allison mentioned all the things she could do with her feet, Claire was the one that said, "With your FEET?" and Brian just went on and said, "I can make spaghetti." Like her talents weren't all that freaky and were comparable to making spaghetti or something. I think that, eventually, he would stop acting so freaked out when she did something weird.

It's true that Claire would be a tight wad with him, but she'd changed in that respect even by the end of the day (i.e. closet scene). I think she'd loosen up with him and be less stringent, but even if she didn't, I think Bender would be delighted by the challenge. At the beginning of the film he was so damn bored that he started picking on Claire and Andy just to have some fun. I think he needs someone to fight with sometimes just to keep on his toes.

Claire and Brian? Hmmm, interesting. The thing is, she's good at manipulating people and he's not as good at knowing when he's being manipulated, LOL. I keep thinking of the part on the railing when she gets him to write the paper. I think she'd walk all over him, and instead of fighting back, he'd just get angry, let it build up, and end up yelling at her one day. I can't see them being able to communicate very well.

It would be a strange relationship, to say the least.

#16 Jan 29th 2006, 3:25pm
TWbasketcase
LOL yeah, I see where you are coming from.

I have to wonder though how the manipulation aspect would work on any potential suitor for Claire. She seems to be one of those girls who is used to getting whatever she wants...and for some guys that is okay, but for others it is downright unbearable. I mean, I am sure she would have no problem shoving that quality of hers down and grin and bear with it...I think Brian would end up getting upset about it. But it is an interesting thought, hm?

As for Brian and Allison...when you put it that way it's kind of funny. I think he realizes just how weird the two of them are (I mean the whole walrus thing he was doing at the beginning? XD) They would be too damn funny together.

Bender would definitely be delighted by the challenge of Claire, no doubt about it. The question is...could it REALLY ever make it past just being a challenge? I coudl see it working, but it would take some major personality adustment on one or both parts (which I could see being MORE on Claire's part). It's too bad there wasn't ever some sort of followup to the movie...its questions like these that just make me with that Hughes would write a book or something! LOL

Anyways great points...what does everyone else think? Is there anyone else? LOL

Sorry to just butt in with a comment since I have never posted before, but I read this thread (hmm, that rhymed...ahh! Focus!!) and I just had to add my opinion, as blah as it may be. My favorite relationship in the movie was of course Andy and Allison, because John and Claire though classic bad boy/good girl (rich girl anyway) scenerio, their relationship seemed the least likely to make it. To me. But the thought of Brian and Allison getting together is rather funny. Whenever I watch TBC at the end I always feel sorry for Brian cause he leaves without a kiss from anybody. Poor kid. Anyway, it's almost 2am. I need sleep...or coffee...mmmm, coffee!
#18 Feb 03rd 2006, 11:47pm
MidnightBlue88
Brian deserves a girl, but I think he would be rather miserable with any of the girls in the film (no offense to either of them). I like the idea of pairing him with an OC, though, as long as she's well written. What kind of girl do you think he would fall in love with? Or, what kind of girl would compliment him best in a relationship? I have my own ideas and I've used them in stories, but I'd like to see what other people think.

And can I have some of that coffee, please? Dang, I'm tired. *yawn*

#19 Feb 04th 2006, 10:42am
TWbasketcase
I agree...OC all the way for Brian. However, I do think you would have to be careful when writing her. I can't see him being shallow in the sense that looks would be VERY important...so it would probably be a girl (that isn't ugly) but just normal looking (but in his eyes beautiful). She would probably have some nerd-like features...but not total all out dork.

I can't really see her being anything at all like Claire or Allison (because like Kendall said, he would probably be miserable) so really, I can't see her having a personality much like either of them.

Probably a girl-next-door type deal (cliche I know, but for Brian?)

I dunno, what does everyone else think?

I agree that to write in an OC for Brian, you'd have to be extremely careful. I think that, in light of the idea of the movie and how the other four paired off, you wouldn't want to make Brian's girl someone who was just like him. But then that poses the question: What kind of girl? Allison is too wacky for Brian, and I can't see Claire ever with Brian, mostly because they really would clash, and not in a flirty/sexual tension sort of way at all.

When you look at the other stereotypes of high school life, it's hard to pick out who might conceivably go with a nerd while still breaking down some social barriers. Does anyone else have a definite idea of a girl for Brian?

#21 Mar 04th 2006, 3:41pm

Well, you guys remember me, right? John/Claire of course. The good girl/ bad boy realtionship just draws me in. He could really change her, stop her from being so... shallow. And she could change hime, get him to believe "in one guy one girl, the way it should be." They would also be a really complicated couple. What will their friends sy/do!?

I'm not saying Ally/Andy wouldn't be complicated.

If John/Claire didn't work out, I would be all for Brian/Claire. They connected nicley. At least form what I saw. But that's just me. Haha...

I guess I'm just weird that way.

Oh my lord!

Why have people not been shipping Claire and John more in this thread?

I'm not so keen and Andy and Allison, I know there was a connection before the make over scene but it was like, he wouldnt make a move on her until she had been brought up to his standards. Or maybe it's just because Andy is my least favourite character, I dunno. I can see why people would like the pairing but claire and john are the better, more exciting couple.

So I'm going to ship claire and John. They changed each other, and that kiss at the end, where he leaned to her, that was john being vunlerbale in what was probably a very long time. I know it was hinted at, and it was predicatble, but still. You have to admit there was so much more sexual tension between them (and not just because of the scene where he's hidden under table ;)) I think theirs was the more interesting relationship. He got her to admit to a lot of things, made her see what a ** she was being, she saw right through the bad act and saw that he good a good heart. they cut through each others bullsh!t.

Aside from the scene where she admits that her parents ignore, their relationship none of that depth.

I may alone in this opinion but they are by far the best couple! Argue away..........

Hey...I know I never posted anything on this forum, but theres a first for everything right?

So anyway, sorry to dissappoint all you Claire/Bender shippers, but I'm an Andy/Allison shipper. Thats not to say I dont like Claire/John, its just that I think its a little cliche [you know, good girl with bad boy]and you knew it was coming with all the sexual tension in the movie. However, I still love this pairing-its just not my number one.

So anyway, back to Allison/Andy, I like this pairing for several reasons, many of which were previously stated. Its a little more abstract and out there, but I think that if Andy learned to include Allison in his 'popular jock' lifestyle, it would be one of the more durable ones. Also, I just love the fact that its 2 COMPLETELY different groups. I mean, I know that the whole movie was about breaking down social barriers, but come on. Good girl/bad guys are common in society, but how often do you see a jock and a basketcase? I just love that its uncommon. Plus, I think that their personalities complement each other. Allison could [would?] make Andy less serious at times and would encourage a sense of humor. Andy would make Allison a little more...normal if you will. Not so much that they change each other, just tweak themselves a little.

I don't mean to offend anyone, and if I did, I'm sorry. I dont want to start a 'beef' or anything, but if you disagree, tell me why! Im interested![I sound like such a perky person with all the exclamation points =P lol]...and if you do agree, then tell me your opinion anyway...I want to hear your inputs to my views.

I do like Andy/Allison but I must say...

John and Claire all the waaay, baby!

Of course, part of my affinity for the couple is probably due to the fact that my high school sweetheart shared quite a few similiar qualities with John Bender. : ) I am Nothing like Claire, however. heehee. Anyway, I just thought that they had great chemistry together and they could really balance each other out nicely. As long as they learn to work things out. They would probably have a lot of problems to drudge through but my over romantic heart would like to think that they do!

Hahahaha! Hot indeedy!

Well cool to see that this has gotten a little more interesting. Hey ANGELS...what do you think about a Claire and Brian relationship? I noticed that you said if Claire/Bender didn't work out...you wouldn't mind seeing a Brian/Claire. I always loved dorky guys getting hot girls!

As for John and Claire...I think you all know where I stand by now. Just much too cliche to be exciting. It's very easy to see where it could/would go John having too many home problems, Claire worrying about herself...I can't see either of them putting the other before their own needs. I just can't.

As for Andy/Allison...I agree that it is more exciting because it is a lot more uncommon. I haven't really seen a big popular guy go for a crazy goth biotch. Maybe a loser girl to make her pretty on a bet, but never a crazy. Gotta love the craziness. I really do think that a relationship between the two of them would be humourous because their characters would feed off of each other so much....Allison opening Andy up, Andy showing Allison some social ropes (maybe not getting her involved with his clan, but just out around people more...maybe his wrestling meets?) She could develop some appreciation for tights (wiggles eyebrows) and he could appreciate her fine cuisine! Hahaha it would be so funny.

As for what Nova Janna wrote....I could see Brian with quite a few social cliques depending on how you write the girl. Like stated above nerdy/popular girl pairings are rather funny...as well as bad girl/good boy relationships....but I agree anything like Allison would be too wacky. But once again..its all about how you write the girl.

Anywhoo....anyone open for a debate feel free

Yeah... at first I loved Brian and Claire and I saw himts that they ,ay like each other (the whole virgin thing is what got me started). But as the movie went on... I saw Claire and Bender as a good couple.

But yeah, my original was Brian and Claire. I thought it was cute. It also reminded me a little of Sixteen Candles (Anthony Micheal Hall and Molly Ringwald in it too!... haha) with Sam and Jake.

TWbasketcase
You would seriously write a Claire/Brian fic?

I would read it (bellieve it or not)

I don't know....idea wise you would definitely have to do something believable (as with anything not Bender/Claire or Andy/Allison) and the only way I could really see it happening is if (MAYBE) Claire tried to change her ways and her friends didn't really like that...and then maybe she does something to the Breakfast Club where they don't rrust or like her...or maybe they are just ** and don't wanna be her friend (whichever one)...it is quite obvious she was quite infatuated with John so something drastic would hvae to happen if she was changing her mind to Brian.

Of course you can always just do an AU version where the detention never happened and Claire and Brian just met and connected on a level all their own.

I don't know...I think that would be cool if you did it because it HAS NOT been done before and I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE new ideas in this fandom.

Hi! I was just round a MidnightBue88 fic when I saw that there were this forums, so I checked out and i saw this topic, which caught my eyes.

Well, here I go. I'm an insane lover of John/Claire. First point's that the character is performed by Molly Ringwald and I have this weird obsession with her. No, but there are also other things. Maybe they're too cliche or whatever it is, but I think they're both complex characters and it's interesting seeing how they interact. Both of them live through appearances. I always cry when Claire's saying that she hates going along with everything her friends say, and it's because she's so scared to be alone, so she does what she's expected to. And then there's John, who all picture as that wasteoid who... mmm... don't know exactly how to describe him, but my point is that he's so much more that everyone thinks. I mean, he's actually very smart! You can see it in his way of talking, and I know that I could never get so many smart insults from my head. And John is also a bad guy who just bugs everyone and just considers girls so he doesn't get very deep with them so he doesn't get hurt at the end, he doesn't trust people cos he thinks they're going to hurt him. So, what can you do with too people like that? They need each other to show themselves who they really are and too stop havig those fears. Oh, I really love this couple! It's just that, as I've said, they're too complex, and I picture them always fighting in the morning and making up in the night... as a daily costume.

I have more things to say about them, but don't quite know how to say it. I'm right now hoping you got what i said cos i don't speak english and sometimes i mix up all the words.

Gotta go, but i'll keep checking here if there are any new posts or thoughts.

Oh, there's something else. I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY JOHN/CLAIRE LOVERS ROUND HERE! THAT'S MAINLY WHY I POSTED THIS, BECAUSE I DIDN'T PLAN OF IT. BUT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY WORSHIPERS OF THIS SHIP. Cos they also look too cute together =D

Bye!

Hey there! Welcome to the forum!

I'm glad that you decided to share that with us (don't worry about your english, there is no judging here); I think you definitely put an interesting perspective on them, and I am glad that you don't see them as too cliched. Your way of describing them is interesting.

I take it you are a Claire fan then? The thing I find interesting about most John/Claire 'shippers' is that they tend to like John more when it comes to them individually (I don't know why but I could guess)...and it is interesting to see someone like Claire for Claire. That's different.

So anyways, welcome to the forum and please feel free to look around! I'm glad to hear from you!

See Them Llamas Run

John/Claire, Allison/Andy - it's all good, but I think that Brian/Allison would be pretty fascinating. I don't have much reason beyond the fact that they might be the only characters who remained friends after detention. I don't know. Maybe that thought is too depressing.

But I think a relationship between them might be interesting because Brian would always be trying to keep up with Allison's crazy antics, and Allison would always be trying to get Brian to live life to the fullest. And all that jazz.

It's not my FAVORITE ship. I just thought I'd put it out there.

I've been away for awhile, and I think a lot of people who used to log in daily to this forums have been away, too...

Anyways, I just saw the movie after a looong time and for some reason I've been thinking so much about Brian and Allison. As any fanon couple it might be weird for some fans to accept it, but if a writer can do something good out of those two, anything can happen. I can see Brian having some trouble at times with her being so different, but she's kind of this lovely person you can't stop caring about, so he won't mind taking her as she is. Here I'm speaking in terms of either a really good friendship or a strong relationship.

I don't know, I just love them.

Aw, I've missed this forums and the fandom. Anyone still around?

I'm not ignoring you, See Them Llamas Run (kinda weird and long :P), but I just wonder if some of the other writers or readers still visit this site!

Hey there! I've been away for a long time, too! I miss this place, too! Ah! John and Claire are, of course, my favourite. I could see Brian and Allison, too - you could do some fun stuff with them. Sometimes I kinda like the idea of Claire and Brian and other times it really annoys me! Haha. I know a lot of people like Allison with Bender, but I honestly can only see them as friends - though, I could totally see them hooking up as really really close buds, you know, but just not (to go back to high school) "boyfriend/girlfriend" material! Lol.

I'll really have to come back here very soon and read to my heart's content! It's been too long, and I've gotten into really writing on my own stuff so I've been pretty scarce here for the past few months : ( . I've missed FF, though! I need to post more here soon! : ) I think a lot of us that used to frequent here are still around here and there. I really do need to read more here, though, I have a hankerin' for some good ol' Breakfast Club fanfiction! My John/Claire girly heart is thirstin' for some happy/angsty moments!

Crap, I just wrote out a long post and ff.net ate it. I guess some things never change.

Anyway, hi everyone! I feel like it's been years! (And it probably has been.) How is everyone doing?

Allison/Brian, hmmm. See, the more I think about them, the more I just can't see it. I think they're so different and I don't know that they'd ever be able to really understand or, more importantly, appreciate one another. They didn't have much chemistry at all in the movies, so it's hard for me to imagine them really wanting one another.

As for favorite pairings...I'll just go ahead and put the slash card out there. I'm pretty devoted to Andy/Brian. I think they had great chemistry in the film, and if they survived Monday I think they'd be genuine friends. They both admired other qualities in the other, which I think would help in the attraction. I think they're a good fit. Complicated and messy, yes, but a good fit.

I'm also really interested in Claire/Allison, but I hardly see much femslash in this fandom. I should go see if anyone's posted anything recently.

Okay then, I guess I'm off. It's good to see some of you again. We should keep chatting!

I love Allison and Andy.

Why? Because Andy is the star of the school and Allison is the untouchable. It wouldn't be as interesting if it was Andy and Claire. Or John and Allison. Or even Brian and Allison. I mean who would have guessed at the start of the movie that Andy, the one that laughed at Allison for just walking in and sitting down, would end up kissing her in front of the school?

I realized after years and years that I don't like canon couples much anymore at all. So yeah. No one's even gonna see this so I feel even sneakier saying that. ^__________^

Pfft, I see it. I guess my issues with them is that I'm too cynical to believe they'd work? That and I'm so ridiculously obsessed with slash, now. Plus it's more fun to try and work out the new dynamics of something, whereas the dynamics of the canon relationships we've already partly seen. (And, the more I think about it, the canon pairings feel too cliche for me. There. I said it. Am I going to be chased by an angry mob, d'ya think?)

Not at all! But if they do come running for you, let me know and I will run WITH you! Because I totally agree! 8D
