Hiya! How is everyone doing? I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
A big thank you to Birdie @ Birdie Bookworm and Icebreaker694 for tagging me for this and indulging my current Valentine’s posting. Please check out their awesome blogs after you’re done reading this post 🙂
The Rules:
- Please PINGBACK to me at Kate @ Melting Pots and Other Calamities. Or just Kate. And PINGBACK TO A SPECIFIC POST OF MINE. I won’t see the post otherwise, and I’d like to see it.
- You can choose ten romance fails from ANY media you like: books, movies, anime, manga, T.V shows, or Webtoons. You can even mix them up if you want.
- You can choose funny fails or serious ones; for the serious ones, phrase it humorously. Remember, this is a fun tag! It’s not meant to be serious.
- Mention who’s who in the fails. (I.E, who fails and who is the recipient of the failure). If there isn’t recipient, per se, just state the couple (or non-couple).
- Optional: Rank the failures from least extreme to most extreme.
- 5 failures at LEAST.
- Tag as many people as you want, but at least one person.
So to mix things up a bit and because the tag allows it, I decided to use couples from TV shows instead of books. Some are old, some are new, but they all left their mark in some way.
A bit of background: my ships don’t usually sail, and they’re usually non-canon. Why do I do that to myself? I don’t know. But that’s just how it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Needless to say, this tag was very appropriate.
Please take your time staring at their adorableness. I’ll wait.
Cook and Effy
Are messed up couples the best, or what?
Bash and Kenna
A couple that worked a bit backwards but hey, I’m not complaining.
Nate and Serena
They were always so happy and you could tell they had so much fun together. Gah!
Bellamy and Clarke
They are the best couple and they’re not even a couple. THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER THOUGH ❤
Roy and Thea
Angst galore! How can you not love the whole class difference thing?
Scott and Allison
Aaahh young love. They grew together and became such strong individuals, ready to face anything. TOO CUTE ❤

This was really a fun post to read 😊 Surprisingly (and I know this will probably come as a shock) I don’t even know all these couples. But that only means I have to catch up on more shows now lol.
I always love the layout for these posts, you really put a lot of effort into this 😊😊 Thanks for yet another enjoyable read and watch 😊

Too cute! Gosh, I feel like I’m so behind the times. I don’t think I’ve watched any of these shows! I’ve been meaning to check The 100 out, but I think this was a book first, so I would like to read the book beforehand. Anyway, great answers and the couples do look pretty cute together!

Hahaha oh most of these are actually quite old… I do tend to watch them way after everyone else, though 😂
I read the first two books and I have to warn you, they are completely different from the show. They don’t even follow the same plotlines. So yeah, both are enjoyable but I much preferred the show!
Thank you so much 😊 And yeah, they’re the cutest ❤️❤️

OOOOOOH Bash and Kenna. Not a great start and a terrible ending, but at least they had something pretty good going on in the middle. I’m actually really sad they didn’t work out!

BASH AND KENNA BASH AND KENNA BASH AND KENNA. Literally, my favorite TV couple of almost all time? I just adored them together. Forced together after such a failure, but they made it work so good. So sad about their ending. There is a Reign companion novel, though, that showcases their relationship super wonderfully if you ever need more of them. 😉 Wonderful choices, Sophie!! Thank you for tagging me as well, but I actually already did this one (I was surprisingly on it for once). Thank you, Sophie, and wonderful post! ❤

I loved Arrow and especially Roy and Thea’s relationship but I’m super behind on the series now and have no idea what happened 😂
I didn’t watch too much of GG but the few episodes I did I was absolutely in love with Nate and Serena, and when I learned she ended up with Dan instead… Ugh.
I know!! And I get that they had to do it because Cheryl wanted to leave but GOD did it have to be like that? *still not over it*
Stiles is a ray of sunshine that we must protect at all costs ❤️❤️

I don’t know why the producers have been keeping them apart for this long, and why they tease us so much 😭😭😭 Evil, evil creators. I mean, there’s no excuse! Especially if they’ve read the books (which I hope they did…)
I know!! They were so adorable together, both couples 💔 Cheryl had to leave the show so I guess that’s why they went for that more “permanent” approach… But it still sucked! 😣
