DA and the occasional fic got me started with 1x2...it's currently one of my favorites. What can I say? Show me good stories or pictures for a pairing and I will ship just about anything. XD But yeah. It didn't make much sense to me at first, either. Clearly they weren't on the best of terms, or 1 (at least almost definitely -- you can never be too sure with 1) wouldn't have sent 2 out to die. But, like Castoro said, he did show regret and they must have had some kind of relationship as the first two creations, whether they originally woke and traveled together or not. I think it was more a matter that 2 confounded him and defied every definition of survival he'd laid out. And I love that in a pairing, the intrigue, the subtleties, the chemistry between characters you just don't get with anyone else. I like 'em complicated, I suppose. Cast said it better than I ever could. XD Also, it may not be a current relationship. It might have been back before 1 got so paranoid about things. I admit, that's the way I prefer it...for one thing, they have a nice angsty breaking point when 2 finally loses his patience with 1's descent into dictatorship. EDIT: Oh yay! Page 6. I also agree with what was said regarding pairings with 6 on the last page...he does spend a lot of time off in his own little world. Which, as was pointed out, wouldn't make him ideal for a relationship -- particularly with the eternally clingy 5. XD Despite that, I do like 5x6 and 3x6 and I have a soft spot for 6x7 and 6x9 as well (again, all of it due to fanfiction and art)... I think one of the reasons I do ship other people with 6 so much is because he spends so much time in his own little world. Practically speaking, he can't spend all his time drawing in a corner. A significant portion, sure, but not all of it. At least occasionally he must get lonely. And since he's hardly paid attention to, he wouldn't really expect anything else, so I think if someone (anyone! XD) started a relationship with him, yeah, he'd be hesitant at first but he'd warm up after a while. In my own personal head canon, after that he would be nearly as clingy as 5, if still pretty introverted. Other than that, it's just interesting to see how whoever he's paired with gets along with him, how they deal with him when he's a little loopier than he ought to be, that sort of thing. It makes for some very unusual and interesting times. /text wall

well as I said I only ship 4x6. I can imagine her or her twin watching 6 drawing and getting curious and eventually going up to him and asking him about in their own way. Of course he'd try to explain and maybe even try to teach them how to draw as well. <3 it's such a cute scenerio. ^^
Then again.. lol I wonder if 2 did the same thing but not as curious. He was after all studying 6's drawing and trying to make sense out of them. and 6 didn't seem to mind him taking them... OH NO! I think I'm starting to ship that. XD

I think 2 would have had the most patience for 6, and would have taken his ramblings more seriously than the others. I always thought 6 teaching 8 to draw would be a really cute pic/fic... XD

^Yeah and even though 6 spent a lot time his drawing corner, I also think him 5 probably got along pretty well based off what the interactions they have in the movie. I noticed that they stuck together during the Wing Beast attack and when he lift 6 up on his shoulders during the record player scene. I can sort see why poeple would probably ship them, but for me I kind of imagine 5 and 6 having like a brotherly relation. I guess in my mind I picture 5 sort seeing 6 as kind like a little brother.
As for 6 pairings, I stop have problem with 6 shipping. I mean heck, just because he probably spends a lot time alone doesn't mean he wouldn't develoep a crush on any one or something like that. As 6 pairs go, I think 6xeither one of the Twins is cute. (Note, when I ship the Twins what thier gender is doesn't matter to me in terms of shipping, but I do view 3 as a boy and 4 as a girl.) I also like a couple of the OC pairs I've seen with him.

I simply love the idea of the two of them interacting, in ANY way at all. I just happen to prefer romantic because I am a sap about these things. 1 does show signs of regret in his decision, and I really don't think he hates 2 as much as he lets on. I think it was more a matter that 2 confounded him and defied every definition of survival he'd laid out. And I love that in a pairing, the intrigue, the subtleties, the chemistry between characters you just don't get with anyone else. I like 'em complicated, I suppose. Which is kind of weird given. Y'know. I'm kind of a sap. ALL OF THIS. EVERY WORD. INCLUDING THE SAP PART. XD I totally shipped 1x2 almost from the very beginning. Did I think it was intended to be canon? No. Do I think they work equally well as brothers, or friends, or frenemies? Sure. XD 'Cause for me, pairings aren't so much SRS BZNS as they are about exploring possibilities between characters; in my view, shipping doesn't change or cheapen the intent of the creator, or corrupt the relationship itself. It's just about having fun. And a pairing like 1x2 is so great for that, because there is so much hinted at, so much unfulfilled potential. They didn't exchange a single line of dialogue, and almost all of their interaction was indirect. Yet there's so much to grab hold of! You can take it almost anywhere. My shipping 5x6... is actually Street Spirit's fault. XD I wrote one for her for a secret buddy exchange, and in order to get myself into the mindset to write the pairing, I had to sell myself on it. And from there, I was able to become more accepting of 6 pairings in general. I'm still pretty reserved about them, and I still think the major roadblock is that he seems to be very much in his own little world. Still, he does engage with the others to some degree. 5 seems to draw him out more than the others, but he had some very cute moments with 9, the twins, and even 7 (if you count her having to drag him away from the machine. XD)

I think I unintentionally converted myself to shipping 6x2 or maybe I think of it as a father/son thing, like I do with 5x2.
6 is a bit hard to ship for me because he didn't have a big role in the movie, if only he had more. =_= I would have loved to learn more about him and why he is the way he is.

I actually ship 2x6 to a degree, though it is also more or less father/son or uncle/nephew most of the time. I think they COULD become romantic, but i do not think (because of 2's grandfatherly personality) that they would really become a couple. But it IS rather adorbs to imagine anyway!
6, I see more with 8 (either long before or after the fact of the movie, take that as you will), 9, 5, or a twin. Perhaps 7 and maybe 1, but those are a tad iffy. At best, I think the relationship would be very, if only, one sided on one of their parts. I think it would be perfectly imaginable for 6 to have a crush on someone and not know how to express it so he simply does not follow through, in such a way that someone would have a one sided crush on him and not know how to tell him or try to and him be in his own world at not really know what they mean.
Though I could also see both parties starting to like each other at the same time and it might slowly grow the more that someone spends around 6, and they could bond BECAUSE of his artwork and lonely nature. But that's just me.

HOLY SNAP I SURE MISSED A LOT DIDN'T I? XD
Well, you guys know my main OTPs are 9x7 and 6x4. But I am starting to like others, too.
Now, on the main subject, I agree with everything Bane said. I see 6 to be the type to sit and pine for his crush, unless someone makes the first move.

I third what Cast said 1x2 is my big love when it comes to 9 pairings. Which is funny because I used to see them as heterosexual life partners at the most XD They're pretty tragic to me, though, because the way I see them, neither ever spoke of their feelings to the other. 1 was too busy being stubborn and convincing himself to hate 2, and 2 was just content to be around 1. They were still friends (though that deteriorated as time went on due to 1's...1-ness) and there was a certain bond there that neither had with anyone else, but then came all that business with the Cat Beast...still, I have absolutely no doubt that 1 was beating himself up pretty hard towards the end for what he had done. 1 and 2 are just such fascinating characters. While all the others feel pretty straightforward to me, these two seem like they have so much hidden stuff going on inside. Mostly because 2 got killed off so quickly and 1...well, he's just 1, but yeah. The best way I can describe it is the situation between Lily and Severus in Harry Potter. Based on most material, it looks like their relationship was one thing, but then there's a hidden undercurrent and it turns out that there was so much more to it than previously shown. Their current theme song in my headcanon is "Replaced" by Kate McGill, particularly the chorus. It's the song in my sig and is awesome. XD

^ that's basically how I feel about 1x7 though thanks to smallthehero, I think of them as frollo and Esmeralda. I can totally imagine 1 standing in front of a fire or something holding 7's rope and singing about her. Oh gosh. *has a fangirl spazz attack*

But that's just me. Yeah, that's kind of where I am on the 6 pairings! I think it would take a lot of time for things to happen between him and someone else, if they happened at all. I guess that's one of the reasons I think 5 is the most likely candidate, because he's very accepting of people, and even though he's timid, he's pretty open and expressive. They're pretty tragic to me, though, because the way I see them, neither ever spoke of their feelings to the other. 1 was too busy being stubborn and convincing himself to hate 2, and 2 was just content to be around 1. I LOVE THIS VERSION OF THEM AS WELL. REPRESSED UNSPOKEN FEELINGS FTW. ^ that's basically how I feel about 1x7 though thanks to smallthehero, I think of them as frollo and Esmeralda.

She broke mine, and I already shipped them before I saw it. XDD

If 6 can see into the future, he must know if his relationships would work out beforehand! (j/k j/k don't kill me)
And yes, 1 is Frollo. He could probably sing that song, too. XD

Yeah, I can see him being like that, so I think that if anyone were to be with 6, they'd pretty much have to be the one to start it, and make it obvious to the both of them. XD I've never really thought into it before, the girl being the one to be the most forward one in the relationship, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. I think it's really cute, actually. XD

Despite your joking nature, that is a good point Anna. XD But I don't think he has THAT much prophetic vision. After all, they were together for 50 years, and even then he didn't know EVERYTHING that would happen, so if that does make anyone confused I think we can assume he is not completely in control of his powers and can't see everything. (totally did not need to look into that)
And I am actually surprised to see people agreeing with my theory. o_0 HOWEVER THIS PLEASES ME
