    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Shipping vs Pairing. Or my version thereof, anyway. Possibly weird in that I actually see a difference between the two? To explain the ways in which I am &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; picky, and the ways in which I am very picky indeed, and why.

I think, in their interactions. More than just them, of course. There are lots of characters that fall into the same pattern. Not all of them are male, either, though I notice it does seem to be slightly more common among men, at least in fiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://icarus-chained.dreamwidth.org/14237.html#cutid1"&gt;The pattern of pride and pity ...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=icarus_chained&amp;ditemid=14237" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Muses who &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to speak at the minute. Mostly because they're all jealous now. Especially the original ones.
