Crack: Not so whack


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 others.

Given the poor state of his luck in the past, Jack is pleasantly surprised when the man who walked up to him was not only a fellow werewolf but an alpha, and presumably the alpha of the very pack he's looking to find. He sat up sharply, his own eyes flashing yellow in response, and nodded eagerly.

"Not at all, go right ahead." he motioned to the seat.

Scott sat down opposite Jack and gave the young werewolf a look over. Hus yellow eyes was a good sign. But so had Theo's eyes been so he was still a little on guard. He did smile at the eagerness though.

"I'm Scott. I haven't seen you around before. Where are you from?" He asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

"My name's Jack, I'm from a pack over in Santa Barbara," he explained, a darker expression flickering over his face for a moment before he corrects himself "I was from a pack in Santa Barbara. I... ran away..." he isn't quite sure how to explain the whole situation, not when Scott is basically a stranger, but he knows he ought to give some information.

"I was hoping to settle with another pack..."

Scott listened to Jack's story and nodded ever so slightly. He felt like there was something more to the story but he wasn't going to push it. He knew things could be bad and Jack probably had a good reason to come so far.

"We are always looking to help people," he said, still a little new to using "we" as a pack leader. "I'm sure the others will like you too. It might be odd for you tho cos my pack is different. We aren't just wolves. But humans and other creatures too."

"I'd heard something like that..." he admits, that was part of the reason he'd come here, all the talk of the beacon hills pack and the fact they didn't just have wolves. Surely a pack that accepted humans could accept him? "It wouldn't bother me."

He smiles nervously "I know it's not easy to get accepted into a pack, but I.. I don't have anywhere else to go, so whatever you need me to do to prove myself worthy, I'll do it."
