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 one sentence or so blurb about your character. But blank comments are fine.
- Tag others.

Nikki had arrived from Hong Kong via the red eye for a conference post kaiju invasion but she also has a second reason for this trip. She had been in an electronic relationship with Ray since the prior summer when they met during his business trip and her research project. So she's in international arrivals post sending him a selfie (leather jacket, jeans, sweater and her tattoos) so he could locate her, all she knew was his last email saying he would meet her plane. "For now coffee!" as she left Starbucks with her treat and backpack (and laptop, a researcher is never without a project) in tow.

He covers her eyes with his hands, chuckling.
"I knew I might find you here."

He offered to carry her bags to the car and load them in. "It's good to see you without a screen or a phone between us. How'd the flight go?"
