  <description>&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. Contains lots of examples, because I like talking about them. *grins*&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://icarus-chained.dreamwidth.org/40034.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;It gets complicated ...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=icarus_chained&amp;ditemid=40034&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Character dynamic musings - Pride and Pity</title>
  <link>https://icarus-chained.dreamwidth.org/14237.html</link>
  <description>Vegeta &amp;amp; Goku (DragonBall Z)&lt;br /&gt;Bruce &amp;amp; Clark (DC comics)&lt;br /&gt;Lex &amp;amp; Clark (DC comics)&lt;br /&gt;Avon &amp;amp; Blake (Blake&apos;s 7)&lt;br /&gt;Raffles &amp;amp; Bunny (Raffles the Amateur Cracksman)&lt;br /&gt;Holmes &amp;amp; Watson (Sherlock Holmes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are all characters I&apos;ve been reading/watching lately, and I&apos;ve been noticing a kind of ... theme ... 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=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://icarus-chained.dreamwidth.org/14237.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;The pattern of pride and pity ...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=icarus_chained&amp;ditemid=14237&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Muses who &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to speak at the minute. Mostly because they&apos;re all jealous now. Especially the original ones. Between Dowling, Isander and Finn on&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://musing-way.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png&apos; alt=&apos;[community profile] &apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://musing-way.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;musing_way&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and Meruk on &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap; text-decoration: line-through;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://parthenon.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png&apos; alt=&apos;[community profile] &apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://parthenon.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;parthenon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, all my original voices are seething. *grin* So, a list, for consideration later. (Also, because I want to experiment with the text-colour thing. Shush. I&apos;m a child at heart.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://icarus-chained.dreamwidth.org/2645.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Original Muses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, there are a few fanfic muses as want to play, too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://icarus-chained.dreamwidth.org/2645.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;Fandom muses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*grin* I&apos;m gonna have my work cut out for me.&amp;nbsp;Also!
