I Am Simply A Book Drunkard

Ship It Sunday (SIS)



Hey guys, I thought that I would come up with my own meme that I could do every Sunday, or every other Sunday, depending on how busy I am. Point is Welcome to Ship It Sunday! I would imagine that 99% of us know what a ship is. But for the unfortunate souls who don’t, here’s the definition: ship  (Yes, I got this from Urbandictionary.com, sue me).

N: Short for romantic relationship, popularized in fanfiction circles.

V: To endorse a romantic relationship.

N: I see a 'ship developing between Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

V: I ship Ron/Hermione

Now I can explain the point of Ship It Sunday! We all have ships. I know I use “I ship it” for just about everything including chips with cheese. I thought that we could have Sunday dedicated to our lovely character ships though. Every Sunday we can talk about different ships, little ships, dying ships, ships we wish existed, and ENORMOUS ships. Point is Ships. I want this to be an interactive post, PLEASE comment on your opinions of the ship! I promise I won’t throw stones at you, even if your opinion is different from mine.  Hell, you might not even ship them! That is perfectly okay! I would love to hear what you have to say! Oh, and there will probably be spoiler in the post, so if you have not read the book that we are talking about that Sunday, please don’t continue reading the post! Go read the book!

 

So for the first ever Ship it Sunday, I picked the Lovely Raffe and Penryn from Angelfall and World After by Susan E.e.

(If you have not read the Angelfall series I suggest you go do that right now, because it is absolutely marvelous.)

Here are some reasons to ship Raffe and Penryn (if you don’t already):

·         Well that can’t be together so that means I REALLY want them together. Forbidden romance be damned.

·         They obviously like each other, it’s apparent in the way they act when they’re together. Raffes got that whole “I want you, but can’t have you” vibe coming off of him in tsunami waves and Penryn is just as bad. 

·         She makes him a better angel, Raffe was never a bad angel in the first place, but he’s willing to break more rules for her. (He’s just not break the one rule I want him to, BE WITH PENRYN DANG IT!)

·         Oh, and let’s not forget they totally kick ass when they are together, I’m talking major ass kickage. It’s pretty sweet.

OH, and I found the PERFECT song for Raffe by The Cab! Here are the lyrics, but the song is worth checking out! I love it! 

                                    Angel With a Shotgun

Get out your guns, battle's begun,
are you a saint, or a sinner?
If love's a fight, then I shall die,
with my heart on a trigger.

They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting 'til the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

Sometimes to win, you've got to sin,
don't mean I'm not a believer.
..and major Tom, will sing along.
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.

They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting 'til the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

ooooohhhhhhhh, ooooooohhhhh whoa whoa oooh whoa

I'm an angel with a shotgun..
fighting 'til the war's won..
I don't care if heaven won't take me back..

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting til' the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
..and I, want to live, not just survive, tonight.
(Live, not just survive)

..and I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.

They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

Side comment: Don’t you guys feel like there wasn’t much Raffe and Penryn time in World After!? I was completely disappointed in the lack of time they had together! Susan E.e. has to make up for that in the third book!

Do you guys think Raffe and Penryn will last if they finally get together? Personally, my answer is yes, because I strongly love these characters, and I really would die if my ship went down. UGH.
Alright so there is my Ship it Sunday! I hope you enjoyed! PLEASE comment your views on the Ship! I WANT opinions! J

Stay Drunk…on Books.

Love, Steph
