Glad you like.         

[#561 :]

Here's a couple:

[#562 :]

I have a drawing but it's crap so until I improve upon it it will remain a mystery to you.

But those are good scences.
------------------
Bender: Bite my shiny metal ass!
Fry/Leela ♥
I ♥ Chekov.

[#563 :]

"A flight to remember"... They came so close to kissing... Why haven't they since then???

[#564 :]

Doesn't the teenage Leela look like she's straight out of an Archie comic? 


F/L have kissed many times after Flight, like The Why of Fry and Time Keeps on Slipping.

 

Totally. But the kiss is missing.

Heh, but that's probably before your time

I had a shippy drawing, but yeah, it was crap. So I burned the evidence of its existance, cleared the ashes from the ground, burned the evdence of that damn thing that brought my spirits down.

[#566 :]

Jeez, SonicPanther... pyro much?

@Bend_Her- There was nothing in those kisses, like the quote says. But, on AFTR, that would've been a kiss kiss.

[#567 :]

Non-platonic and not a quickly-dismissed result of time-jumps, I think he means.

[#568 :]

SP I would do that. Except, If I edit it the tinest bit it will look ok-ish. So I'll see how that goes other wise I'll get some fire crackers, and blow it up.

[#569 :]

Blow it up? Haha.. I can see that, Bendersfan, lighting a bunch of firecrackers on it. Watching gleefully as the flashes and the cracks create an uproar of lights and sounds.

[#570 :]

I always thought the aborted kisses in AFTR and "X-Mas Story" were, for lack of a better a better word, more meaningfull than most of the stuff in the later seasons. With the notable exeption of "The Sting" of course.

[#571 :]

Of course, because they were real... and Leela and Fry both made the move simultaneously in those cases.

[#572 :]

Oh I loved the almost kisses...  And I love how it was a move on both their parts, simultaneously moving towards each other... 

Notice how both moments were brought about after both were feeling rather lonely and alone.





Do you think the series would have been any different if Fry and Leela HADN'T been interrupted on either occasion?

[#573 :]

Heh. I love the lustful look on Leela's face in those shots.

<<Do you think the series would have been any different if Fry and Leela HADN'T been interrupted on either occasion?>>

No, it would have just gone back to normal in the next episode.

[#574 :]

I kinda like this one, as the kiss-that-almost-happened, even if it's less of a near-kiss than the others.

[#575 :]

Damn you zoidberg!

[#576 :]

More from Love & Rocket:





And because I think it's hilarious:

[#577 :]

My Fry/Leela/Zoidberg love triangle sense is tingling. Wait not that's my  sense bad image.

[#578 :]

Whatever it is you're thinking there, BF, DON'T!

Shippy image time:

I call this "How many planets can there be, part II".

And I think I know what I like about the last image from Rocket: It's one of the few where Fry seems a little assertive.

[#579 :]

So who do you think asked who out on this date?

Oh and here's another one of Fry being kind of assertive:

[#580 :]

So...she's looking for a li'l shellfish action?

*realises what he just said; dies a little inside*

[#583 :]

I wonder how much of this corruption is my doing.

I hope it's the majority. hehe.

[#584 :]

Man.. just looking at all those shippy pics! Why aren't they doing the vertical monster-mash yet?? Sheesh.. all the hand-holding, the near-kissing...

[#585 :]

I'm sure it is Archronix. You've corrupted us all. I know coldys going to ask if he's helped.

They aren't playing pelvic pinochle because the powers that be (The writers) are milking the relationship for as long as possible as shown by at the beginning of every episode going back to normal therefore no realtionship growth.

[#587 :]

The reset button is their favorite tool.

[#588 :]

Damn that button!  If it weren't for you we could have had Fry and Leela playing pelvic pinochle years ago!

[#589 :]

I think the acutal RESET button would look darker and more evil than that. It would have kind of a "crush your hopes and dreams" vibe to it. Also, when you press it it would make this sound like a thousand screaming tormented souls.

[#590 :]

Yeah thats true Frisco

[#591 :]

I'm fond of that button when it's not being used during season 4.

[#592 :]

Yeah, when I mentioned Fry being assertive, I meant in your average shippy-pic that's been posted here. Fry at Leela's door may qualify, but you know where the second one got him!

This what you had in mind?

Leela's staring at Fry's ass...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


...wins the thread!

She looks like she quite likes it too...

[#594 :]

What's there to not like?

Actually, don't answer that.

[#595 :]

I absolutely love the teenage Leela design. So cute!

Originally posted by fryandlemon:

Has anyone noticed they have the same expression in both pictures?

[#597 :]

"Fry, we've been stood this way for six hours now. What's so special about blowing into my mouth?"
"Nothing, but it beats smashing my head against the wall."

[#598 :]

What other expressions could be appropriate when dadadadaDA is playing in the background?
