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.

"It's good. But there's a lot of calories in them." He said and patted his stomach. "But hey every now and then it's not too bad. I know a really good place, just come along with me," he added with a smile. He then headed on to the place he liked the most. A Pizza Hut not too far away from campus. Once they were there he glanced through the menu. "You feeling for a buffet or just a regular?" he asked and looked over at Isaac.

"I guess," Isaac agrees, calorie counting was never really something he'd done, he was lucky enough that he seemed to stay relatively skinny regardless of what he ate - not that he ate that much anyway.

"Uh... I'll probably just go regular, I don't eat enough to make the buffet worth it," he laughs "what about you?"

"Me too. I try to watch what I put into me. Which is easier said than done, let me tell you. With all the beer flowing I've lost my abs. Still in good shape though but my diet is crap," he said with a chuckle as they entered the establishment.

"Trust me, you still look pretty good," Isaac tells him sincerely, gaze roaming appreciatively over Mike's form before he can actually stop himself. He realises quickly enough what he's doing and his cheeks colour slightly, he clears his throat and glances around the restaurant.

"So where do you want to sit?"
