Charmed. Now with icons!

I'm reliving my Piper/Cole days. Seriously, you guys - did it ever occur to you that Piper and Cole look better together? Oh Leo - schmeo! Hehehe. I even had a website dedicated only to Piper/Cole - Undeniable - which, correct me if I'm wrong, is the first of its kind that I know of. Wahaha! That's how much I went crazy over these two!

I don't know...somehow I just cannot like the Piper/Cole pairing..Sorry!!! But I do like some of the icons *grins* And we do have the "Mummy" fanfiction pairing (Ardeth/Evelyn) in common!

Do you think there is any chance you'll re-live *those* days again and MAYBE write some more delicious fanfiction? *nudge, wink, wink*

Hahahah! No, it's okay - I understand. It IS kinda a weird pairing, especially considering how Piper and Cole loved their respective partners. BUT! BUT! BUT! Well, actually there's no logical reason for these two :D

OMG Ardeth/Evelyn... hmmm... let's see. If I do get some ideas, I'll definitely write something. I miss those two!!!

LOL...I understand where you're coming from. I'm usually a huge fan of unconventional pairing so I know that its hard to give a reason for a particular fave ship. :)

Ooooh! *squeals madly*...I do hope you get some ideas soon. *crosses ALL fingers and toes*...

gorgeous icons zarah. never thought of piper/cole... could be very interesting (though could never love it as I do piper/leo)

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much! Yeah... Piper/Leo also had that grip on me, with the whole forbidden love thing. Actually, I'm kinda always on the forbidden love bandwagon, except when it's already canon - then I'm already off! :D

You're kinda funny. I've never seen the Piper/Cole thing - mostly because it was always so Piper/Leo and Cole/Phoebe. But, that's what fanfiction is for!

I liked them being in the same scene, because Piper had a proper reason to be hesitant of Cole - and not like Paige who just "didn't like him" - but not in a shippery sort of sense. :P

It's ok though, I won't hold it against you!

:P

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope not! Hehehe. I've yet to find a truly satisfying Piper/Cole story, though, that would fully explain how Piper will ditch Leo, and I'm too lazy to write one, so... *shrug*

I've always been a fan of unconventional pairings, which is why I'm into DHr in the firsty place... but please won't you reconsider (OMG pleez) :P

I'm afraid I'm pretty stuck in my Charmed pairings. I think it'd be different if I was involved in the fandom side of it - which I've never been.

I too am fond of unconventional (or non-canon) pairings. Most of the time it's because say, Buffy/Spike - they were better (as characters and as possible together-ness) when they weren't having sex with each other. Turning them canon kinda ruined the whole thing a bit. I mean, sure, we got to see James half naked a lot, but still.

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I get what you mean. Canonizing a fanon ship kinda ruins it for us, right? Hehehe. But I was pretty happy with the whole Buffy-having-sex-with-Spike-and-nobody-knew! because, well, I always thought that's how Draco and Hermione will be like, given their circumstances. And it's like a fanfic being played out on TV. But if they went in the way of Angel/Buffy then ew, no. I'm happier Buffy/Spike kinda became how it is now.

[identity profile] reetinkerbell.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I too was happy with Buffy and Spike making with the sex - also that it was behind everyone's backs because then we wouldn't have to deal with Xander and his issues - but I don't like how she treated him so I rather have the not sex and being friends and such, than the sex and Buffy being a bitch...

I think you and I have had this conversation before. :P

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahhaa! I think so, too :D While I was typing my earlier reply I kept thinking I've already said these things to you before!

[identity profile] reetinkerbell.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind repeating it. Unless it's too often. But what the hell.

It's all in the love of the show and the characters and the pairing.


So, this Piper/Cole thing - is it something you wished had happened in canon or just something you're happy to ship in the "privacy" of internet and fanfiction?

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... well, I practically squeed every time they're on screen together, and when I suggested this pairing to my friend who was also a Charmed fan, she was like WTF are you saying? Soooo that was when I realized that I might have been the only one in the free world who shipped them, which also meant that it would never happen in canon.

So, yeah, I ship it privately but early on I already realized that it was already impossible to happen. *sigh*

[identity profile] reetinkerbell.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha.

They are kinda funny in scenes together. I really like it when they're trying to kill each other and all they're doing is destroying the attic. (Damn, I love that attic.)


[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That attic really is iconic, isn't it? I'd LOVE to have an attic like that! With all the clutter and stuff... heh.

I also love the sunroom. The windows man, the windows.

Second, your icons are AWESOME and I'm taking a lot - with credit of course

Third, That site was my hang out for the longest time... I just sat wishing it would be updated!! Aw, you must keep up with it sometime!!!

Glad you joined and thanks for sharing your amazing icons with us!! YAY for the Colper love!!

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Hehehe, I was so proud of that site because I suck at designing websites but that site, everything in it, just screamed perfect for me :D I'm not certain about updating it but... we'll see.

Do you mind if I friend you? I don't have lots of Cole/Piper friends, as you can see :D

[identity profile] phantomsangel48.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Friend away! I'm adding you right now! I love meeting new Colper fans! And I see you are a Potter fan also!

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep yep! D/Hr and H/Hr and Ron/Pansy are my main ships :D How about you?

[identity profile] phantomsangel48.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I like D/Hr, love H/Hr, but I mostly ship odd things like Snape/Hermione and Sirius/Hermione, weird, huh?

[identity profile] kezz1489.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, see now I always thought I was the only person who'd thought of putting Piper and Cole together. Obviously not.

It is extremely nice to know that I am not the only one who saw the potential. Plus Phoebe was pretty much my absolute least favourite character in the show right next to the oh so dull Leo.

Between the angst harlot and the heavenly plank, I always kinda thought that Piper and Cole should just pack up, run off together and leave them the hell to it!

Am already on my way to your poor, neglected site (hint, hint)and I absolutely adore the icons too!

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! Phoebe quickly became my least favorite character as the series progressed, because a) CLEAVAGE PLEASE COVER YOURSELF b) her storylines were just.. egh. I'm kinda confused as to what Cole saw in her... rather, what else :D

Thank you in advance for looking at the site! Will friend you, if you don't mind!

[identity profile] kezz1489.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ditto!

And boy do I know what you mean about the lack of coverage. In the end it was like a contest between the two youngest sisters for who could wear the least.
