We could use a little crazy


THE CRACK PAIRING MEME


crack pairing


An unusual relationship of any kind of fandom (i.e. books, television shows, movies, ect.) that is unlikely to happen.


OR

Randomly take two characters… they don’t have to know each other, they don’t have to show ANY signs of a relationship, and hook them together. That is a crack pairing.


We all know them. Fandoms have fostered these little gems of shipping since the early days, and now, they can even be serious contenders in even the most hostile of shipping wars. Maybe they're absolutely ridiculous and only "for the lulz." Perhaps they make perfect sense...if you squint. Whatever the case may be, these so-called "crack" pairings are not canon and they're nowhere near as popular in fandom as the big fanon pairings.

Most of the time.

Of course, it's important to note that a lot of the time in RP, pairings are always crack pairings. Especially crossover ships, which canon purists would deride purely for being impossible. Still, in memes, that's less likely to happen because people either stick with canon ships, fanon ships, or close CR because of the lack of opportunities for development that games offer.

Not here. This meme is for ALL your ridiculousness, all your high school fangirl dreams, and just plain not being sorry for your ships. Think these characters would be cute together? Go for it. That character have adorable icons and that all you know about them? Ship it, by all means. Here, the reasons come after the desire.

RULES
- Comment with your character and preferences. If you want, you can include a one sentence or so blurb about your character. But blank comments are fine.
- Tag to others.
- RNG for prompts. Prompts cannibalized from random memes.

Sweet
1. Can't deny it - you've tried to run from your feelings for so long and you can't do it anymore. It's time that you show the object of your affection exactly how you feel. Hopefully you don't lose everything in the process!
2. First time - it's your first time making love together. Is it awkward? Do you go all out or is it spur of the moment?
3. Accidental - you didn't actually mean to confess or kiss. They overheard you or it was an accidental kiss. Maybe you were just really drunk and let it slip!
4. Close as can be - you just want to make love and you've found a spot where it's just you and your partner, however you want it to be.
5. Happily ever after - somehow, you've made it work and you're both happy together, even if it meant you had to run away together.
6. Appreciation - show appreciation for your lover! With words, a look, or whatever your choice way to display affection is!
7. Cuddling - nothing wrong with a day of cuddling...
8. Vacation - you're on a vacation! Wherever you want to be. Road trip, amusement park, Grand Canyon, etc.
9. Family - you're visiting family! Maybe they find out about your relationship, maybe they already know, or however you want to play it out! Maybe you've got news you're starting a family by getting pregnant, adopting, or even getting a new pet.
10. Acceptance - someone who disapproved of your relationship before suddenly approves. How's that feel to you and your lover?
11. Surprise - you've planned a surprise! What is it?
12. Date - first date, second date, hundredth date, etc. What are you doing for it?
13. Reunited → it's been awhile since you've seen each other and nothing can ruin this moment.
14. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Angst
1. Conflict - you've just had a fight with your lover over your relationship or how you handle it. Can you find it in yourselves to forgive each other?
2. Cheated - your lover has cheated on you and you need to confront them about their reasons why and if you can work it out.
3. Found out - you've been found out by someone close to you and they're less than thrilled with your relationship.
4. Disgust - though they play along with it, they're secretly disgusted by the relationship they have with you and it finally comes out into the light.
5. Guilt - one of you is feeling guilty over your relationship, knowing it can never be truly normal or more than a secret.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Comfort
1. Soothing touch - what better way to sooth your lover than to make love to them and show them that no matter what other people say, you're not going anywhere.
2. Fight for you - whoever has found out about your relationship is trying to hurt your lover and you're not going to let them.
3. Won't let you go - you need your lover to realize that you won't let them go, no matter what.
4. Back together - you broke up for a bit, but whatever it is between you two, you can't stay apart.
5. Injured - your lover was injured because of your relationship and it's time to patch them up.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Twisted
1. Forced - you know your partner isn't interested in you like this, but you keep them going along with the relationship no matter what. Coercion, blackmail, whatever it takes.
2. Won't take no - their lips might say no, but you're not listening.
3. Control - you've given them some kind of potion to get your love interest to love you in return and they have to do whatever you say.
4. Recorded - you're not really interested in this forbidden love affair, but you must do it or you'll face some tough consequences.
5. Insult - you're cornered by those who disapprove of your relationship, hearing how filthy you are.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Sexy
1. Rough - you want it rough and hard tonight. Bites, scratches, bruises, etc.
2. Toys - you want to try some props tonight... toys or fuzzy handcuffs.
3. Bondage - more extreme. You're tied up, used, forced to orgasm, whatever.
4. Make up - make up sex is the best sex.
5. Public - you're feeling a little wild so why not a blowjob under the tablecloth in a restaurant or sex in the car?
6. Interrupted - oh yes, oh yes, oh--who the hell is that watching us?!
7. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Ending
1. Left alone - you woke up to your lover trying to slip away in the night because of the strain of the relationship. Do you let them go or try and fight for it?
2. Torn apart - others are keeping you apart after they found out about your relationship, giving you only minimal contact. What do you do?
3. Ending fight - the argument has turned dirty and ends with one of you storming out.
4. Parting ways - both of you have decided to part ways. It's just so much easier.
5. Always love you - though you'll always love each other, maybe it's time the relationship goes back to being strictly platonic. It would be easier... or maybe that's just how one of you feels.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

* * *

[It's actually been a long time coming. Terse words delivered in passing (mostly from him), that was the norm at first - though circumstances had occasionally contrived to produce...a situation or two, shall we say, that made for more in-depth interactions. A good few of these led to fighting at each other's side, though in his case it was often just to put down a rather troublesome situation, rather than any nobler end. Adam was determined never to be one of the world's Monsters, but he wasn't really a hero or patriot either; a big part of his daily bread had, after all, came from less-than-legal activities that...occasionally took a turn for the unsavory. Monster or not, a fella had to eat.]

[Attempts at reform were probably dismissed at first, though even he'd say...this lady, she had a way with speakin'. Somethin' about her just made you wanna believe 'er. And it wasn't the practiced game of cons and maneaters; no, this kid was genuine, and she had a knack for makin' you feel it, too. He could almost believe there was a better road that he could reach, but for will and heart.]

[Yeah. Maybe when reality stopped intruding. That didn't happen for him. Part of his job involved makin' sure others couldn't escape it either. When big names staked their business on the status quo, a better world was an unwelcome intruder.]

[Still. She made him think, and he was grateful for that initially. But then she started bringin' his thoughts to...other concerns. Things that didn't have a place in an enforcer, small time though he was. It just wasn't the order. (On the other hand, he was small time enough that nobody would miss him, so long as he maintained the code after leaving the business. Once he was out, he was on 'is own, same as when he joined up.)]

[He was okay with that. Makin' his way? That's what he knew how to deal with.]

[...Notwithstanding this. He didn't want to be like the sappy movies, but then maybe she was into that. He wished he'd taken the time to find out before... y'know... this.]

[And he found himself lookin' for the kid. Lookin' for her, needin' to say those things he needed to say. The stuff that...gave those little feelin's in his chest that didn't belong in a world like this. Hell, this whole thing was stupid.]

[Better to get it over with, he kept telling himself. All it took was findin' her. And if he didn't? Well, no harm no foul. Back to work, another day in the machine. What did he have to lose? ...Stuff that mattered? The job? He'd get another job. But her? ...That bothered him a lot more.]

[Should'a done somethin' before he got in this deep. Maybe she'd turn it around and free him from the whole thing; he wasn't her type, she already had someone...anything like that. Maybe she'd turn out to be someone entirely different, and he'd find out his attraction was misplaced.]

[He dreaded the alternative.]

[Cross-canon and castmates welcome, since anything with him in it is a crack pairing by default. I slightly prefer M/F with him because he was canonically married at one point and thus probably leans more towards women but I'll give M/M a shot if anyone's interested.

No characters under the age of 25, though. He's a bit too old for them. Would prefer not to do the sex options.]
