Hi!

[cherry]

After not completing any sort of creative project for far too long, I have almost too many things on the go. Three projects with first drafts (or almost-first drafts, vids in that stage where theoretically it's a first draft, but is still too full of not-win to be labeled as such) completed, one at 3/4, and one that I am frantically scrabbling for further ideas on.

This, my friends, is where you come in.

What are your favourite messed up/dysfunctional relationships in television or film?

So far, I have:
Dexter/Everyone (Dexter)
House/Everyone (House)
Every Petrelli ever (Heroes)
Any combination of Buffy/Angel/Spike/Faith (Buffy and, um, Angel, though my Angel-fu is incredibly weak)
Clark/Lex (though my Smallville-fu is nonexistent. Anyone have favourite bits?)
The Doctor/Most people (Doctor Who)
Rose/Mickey (Doctor Who)
Pretty much every relationship on Torchwood (TW)
Baltar/Six/Head Six (BSG)

I am looking for many examples. I am also more than open if you'd like to give me examples of places/times where things are effed up?

Please note that I am aware not all of these relationships are equal levels of seriously messed.

House/Wilson's sort of beautifully messed up. If you're vidding, you'll probably get the best visuals for that from the episodes toward the end of Season 2, when Wilson moves in with House.

Ooh, or Brian/Justin from Queer as Folk US. They're sort of inherently fucked up because of the age difference, imo, so any scenes from the earlier seasons would do. (I have S1 if you need it.)

And hey, the Winchesters pretty much EMBODY dysfunctional! Sam and Dean, or Sam and their dad, or Dean and their dad...really, any SPN relationship, whether it's viewed through shippy glasses or not. For good Sam/Dean visuals, you could look at the pilot, where there's this gorgeously choreographed fight/reunion scene between the two boys. Also 1.18 for scenes of the boys as kids with their dad, and 1.20 and 1.21 for lots of emotionally charged family scenes. Or, you know, the whole rest of the show.

Oh, or what about Fraser/Victoria? (1.20 and 1.21) Or Ray K/Stella? (3.04 mostly) Or the Fraser/Ray K punch scenes in MotB, or hey, Fraser and his dad, if you're counting non-shippy relationships, too.

Oh! Also! Geoffrey/Ellen and Geoffrey/Ellen/Oliver from Slings and Arrows. For all three together, you want the eps toward the beginning of the first season. Season 2 is where the present-day Geoffrey/Ellen stuff starts to happen on-screen.

And what about Sam and Gene from Life on Mars? That scene in the first series where they fist-fight in the hospital room?

Or Mal and Inara from Firefly! And hey, speaking of Firefly, Simon and River HAVE to count, right? Or River and anybody?

I could go on! *g*

Okay, one more: Shane/anybody from The L Word! (Really I haven't watched the show enough to know if Shane's more messed up than the rest of them, but I think Shane need to be in lots of vids, on account of Katherine Moennig is hot like BURNING.)

Okay. I'll go away now.

Yay!

So, honestly, you've made me very intrigued about House in general. *sigh* I will definitely have to throw some LoM in there, too.

... this project was such a bad idea, but now I'm locked in. *cries little emo tears of never getting projects good enough to post*
