Every Joey Needs a Pacey...

[ohbooth]

Okay, ever since yesterday (out of nowhere, which is how I roll) in the middle of my shift at work, I have been jones-ing for some old school Dawson's Creek.  Like season three Pacey and Joey style Dawson's Creek, and aww, I just watched a bunch while I was cleaning up my room, and such, and I still remembered every line from my fave scenes!! I am such a nerd about Pacey and Joey, I think in little part because my sister is a Dawson/Joey shipper.  But anyways, I digress...I actually started thinking (shocking, I know) about the significance of that preference.  Like, I think it says certain things about you as a person if you prefer the Dawson/Joey love story over the Pacey/Joey love story. One of the scenes I watched tonight was the one at the 'Anti-Prom' when Pacey can tell which of Joey's jewelry is more 'her' :) Everytime I see that, I go "THAT is what I want!! A guy that pays attention to the little things and just KNOWS me!" Also when she tells him that she 'felt it' about him too in the one where they go to Dawson's aunts house :) And love how the story of his Aunt ran parallel to the story unfolding between Dawson and Joey and Pacey, how she 'married to a person she was comfortable with' and then Richard came and made her feel alive, like how Pace makes Joey feel...okay, sorry I kinda go off on a tangent about them...

I also think that like the title of the blog suggests, every Joey needs a Pacey...and I am not speaking just romantically, I am basically saying that every person needs someone in their life who pushes them, and makes them want to do better and makes them better by being who they are, someone who sees you for who you really are and loves that person, even when you don't know how to find that person in yourself.  Once again, with the rambling...anyways, just thought I would share my thoughts about that.  I love that pairing, and I am glad the writers and everyone finally got it right on a show, they had the 'right' couple end up together.

Also, if I had to pick of all the ships I sail, I would say that I ship Joey and Pacey the most.  I am not saying that won't change, I am just saying they have been number one for a long time, and it would take a lot to usurp them! I mean I have other ships that I pull as hard for, but they didn't end up together on air, so I am going with the couple that had the ending I would choose for them! :)

Joey and Pacey are my favorite because of the chemistry and the wit and banter, can't have love without passion...that is basically platonic :P

So here are the scenes I was talking about from the above rant:

LOVE this song, like on a crazy level!

And like I was saying, Pacey remembers the little things (hello bracelet) makes him AWESOME! :) And of course I have to show the 'first time' nookie, come on!! Why wouldn't I? Also, LOVE this song (which is the one they replaced the original one with on the DVD, which I usually don't like...) LOVE the original too, if anyone needs it, I bought the CD after I hunted it down after the show aired LOL, cause I am a freak...

And because if I have this normal size, I think you all will skip over it, here (LET ME KNOW PEOPLE!!):

QUESTION: What is your favorite TV or Movie couple to ship? Are they together in the end? and Why are they your fave?

ETA: Now, it is 'ever since two days ago' cause I fell asleep while typing this up... oops :), it was supposed to be up last night before I went to bed.

I can't help it - I LOVE Ross and Rachel from friends!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! :D

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

LOL, I always thought Ross was a whiny little...well, he wasn't my favorite :) But yeah, that pairing got a whole lot of love! I thought the Joey/Rachel pairing was a funny choice!

From that show? I would have to go with Chandler and Monica :D They are too cute together!

[ames1010.livejournal.com]

That's what was weird about it - I wasn't a huge Ross fan, either, but I loved he and Rachel together. I'm so weird! :D

My favorite TV couple to ship is Veronica/Logan (from Veronica Mars). They didn't end up together in the show, though. Bad writers, humpf.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Aww, STUPID WRITERS! *kicks them*

Well, I have those Dvd's but I haven't watched them yet...I will see when I do if I agree with ya! :)

[medusa81.livejournal.com]

Mulder and Scully will forever be my OTP. They are together in the end even if it's without their baby...

They are my favorite ship because they were my first? I just like how their relationship develops over the years from opposing eachother in the very first ep to fighting the fight together later on.

I especially liked how they played out the UST between the two. I hope we will see more like that in Bones.

Overall my favorite couples are always partners, also: Harmon and Mac from JAG and ofcourse Booth and Bones.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

okay, so lost and not a fic person (I just write it, don't read LOL) what is otp?...someone told me but I forgot....and I hate to keep bugging her, like I should write these things down...

Also, what the hell is UST? I am guessing the ST is 'sexual tension' but I could be wrong LOL

Never seen X Files, and hmm, Booth and Bones aren't a couple...yet :) But yeah, I see what you mean!

[medusa81.livejournal.com]

OTP = One True Pair
UST = Unresolved Sexual Tension

And true, Booth and Bones are not a couple yet, but that's the fun of it for me. It's the way they get to the point of being a couple that's much more onteresting to me than them actually being a couple.

I like to see the changes in the dynamics between the characters and ofcourse it's a major tease at times, but once they're actually together I tend to loose my interest (I think atleast, cos by the time M/S and H/M figured things out the series were over LOL)

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Good points all around sweetie! :) You stole the logic part of the brain today? ;)

[medusa81.livejournal.com]

yep I was in desparate need of it, you want it today?

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Well, I usually have it, I was wondering where it went! LOL

[bobbinrob.livejournal.com]

awww Joey and Pacey are awesome! I was never keen on Dawson/Joey, I thought Pacey/Joey was so cute and yeah they are perfect.
they would def be on my list of top otp they are just awesome!!
I loved Mulder and Scully back in the day, they were my first ever otp I liked. I love Chandler/Monica from Friends too!!
I also love Aragorn/Arwen from Lotr films but I think that ship makes more sense if you have read the books :)

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Yup, they really are perfect!

Never watched X-Files

And yeah, Chandler and Monica are so great, kind of like an older version of Pacey and Joey! :)

That was Liv Tyler and Viggo right? OH, they were GREAT! Oh, movie wise, I also am a BIG fan of Kate and Luc from French Kiss, and Kate and Alex from the Lake House (wow, got a thing for Kate's I guess LOL) and also Aly and Noah from The Notebook, fave book couple there too...they just...GAH I love them!

[bobbinrob.livejournal.com]

x-FILES WAS THE FIRST SHOW I LOVED, FIRST FEW SEASONS WERE AWESOME! went on too long imo though
yeah thats so very true!
yes exactally!! oh yeah those are cute choices!!!! its the kinda fighting everything love that is more awesome
and of course I should have said Rory/Dean because they were awesome and yeah screw Logon pfft!

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Logan's an idiot! *sigh* in my mind (and T's, we talked extensively about it) Dean and Rory got back together after the 'finale' show! :) YAY!

Love is a many splendid things...

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

Hmmm

in the world of movies my fave ship is Ilsa/Rick from Casablanca. Yes Hun I know you powernapped your way through that one, but it's still my favorite film of all times so there you have it. It's hopeless romance at its best and if like me you've read the book that follews the movie you'd know that sometimes love does win.

In the land of TV it's a bit more complicated... See my first thought when it comes to ships is ALWAYS Buffy/Angel. Those two are just... oh boy! talk about tragic love and heartbreak and joy and just pure WAOW! But then again there's the couple that makes me keep my believes that fictional love can make it through (even when it seems imposible and has been torn appart by one of the actors becoming a big time movie star) alive... Carol/Doug of ER. Seriously everytime I watch 'Such Sweet Sorrow' I feel that same flutter in my stomach as I did the very first time. Now I've talked about this about 38 gazillion times, but the fact that they were able to get George back to do his first big role and thereby making fans all over the world go crazy when seing Carol and Dough reunited in Seattle after having been apart for a year. Yeah that right there is enough to keep me believing.

So I'm guessing it might be a tie between the two of them because Heaven knows they've also both made me cry, laugh and yell at the tv more times can i can even being to count and well I just love them both.

Oh and I ofcourse also have to mention Rory/Dean because come on how can I not? In my head they are together again. Who knows maybe Lorelai is gonna be a grandmother soon ;)wouldn't that freak her out?!?!?! Those two were the first ship i picked up after the WB broke my heart and cancelled The JossVerse by killing off AtS and well they've just stuck.

Re: Love is a many splendid things...

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, Buffy and Angel were up on mine too, but Joey and Pacey were just...I don't know, kind of how I saw another couple I know very well, so maybe that is why I am so attached :)

And sheesh girl! Does your advisor know about the essay you wrote here? Champion of Love not withstanding, you could totally use THIS as your thesis!

Hey, you send your 'I Love you Jared, you are ten kinds of awesome' letter to my Twin yet?

Re: Love is a many splendid things...

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

LOL hey good idea - maybe i should send this to my advisor, she thinks I'm not getting enough writing done lol. But this just flowed out of my in like 10mins so yeah - I guess I just need the right subjectmatter.

No I'm still tweaking that letter. It's HARD not to sound like a major freak when writing something like that. I mean I don't mind the big guy knowing I'm a huge Geek because there's no escaping that, but I don't want to sound like a freaked out freaking freak so yeah... I'll be taking another crack on it on the train to and from work today and then hopefully get it typed up when I get home tonight and send to your twin because I NEED him to know just how much awesome goes into making a Gentle Non-green-Giant you know in case he doesn't know.

Re: Love is a many splendid things...

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Well if you need any proofing/opinions you know where to find me :) And yeah, mine is all sticky too, I just keep going "OMG, you are so awesome!!" in my head LOL, and that is NOT the impression I wanna leave!

Re: Love is a many splendid things...

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

Thanks Hun :) Maybe it's just a matter of getting it done and send and then leave it at that.

I do agree, I love Joey/Pacey. I hated Dawson, he always annoyed me, which is one reason why I never really got into the show, except for when Joey and Pacey were together. My favorite pairing is lois/clark. I love that pair in any setting. And I have to say the antiprom scene is my favorite scene, because of them and the music. Doesn't Dawson look like a little drama queen when he finds them.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Ugh, Dawson is a drama queen all the time! LOL that face he makes at Mitch's and Gail's (re)wedding when Joey goes after Pacey is just pathetic, that crying crap face, I am like "Grow a pair you stupid GIRL!!!" LOL

ww, Lois and Clark are so cute!! I used to watch the one with Teri Hatcher, and I liked that! I need to catch up in Smallville though, because I am still at like season three...

Pacey and Joey are totally it for me. I started shipping them when I was like, 15, and since then they have totally shaped my romantic intentions in life. Or I don't know, maybe in some way they embody the romantic intentions I always had in me, but just brought them out in a more defined form.

Dude, I totally agree with what you mean about the couples you ship say something about the person you are. If you're the kind of person that values passion and being challenged (whether it means being challenged to reach your potential or challenged to go against the expectations of you), you'll ship P/Jo, where as if you value things that are timeless and untouchable and idealistic, you'll ship D/Jo. And there's nothing wrong with either way, it's just about who you are.

P/Jo always felt more "real" to me, if I can describe it like that. Tangible, if you will.

[ohbooth.livejournal.com]

Well hello stranger...we haven't met have we?

Glad the Pacey/Joey love is bringing people over! :D

Yeah, their connection was real, not um....I want to say safe and dull but I think that may be too harsh..maybe expected. Yeah, Dawson and Joey had this epic 'we are soulmates' thing to live up to, and it is just not the case sometimes, and then anything less sucks for that pairing, so yeah, all the 'faults' in Pacey and Joey's relationship make it stronger, cause they know they can get through the bad...and I am rambling, probably scaring you off LOL

Thanks for giving your opinion!
