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.

[If the canon cross is too much then not a problem but Pacific Rim could be interesting against him?]

[fixerfortherich]

[I'm here for the unexpected stuff. What's on your mind?]

[ppdckscience]

[She's a Rule!63 of Newt from the series but I do ignore Uprising. So maybe she's in town for a conference and they have been in touch via email, Skype and the like till now?]

[fixerfortherich]

[I've only seen the first film anyway. That sounds good. He'll drive to pick her up or something.]

[ppdckscience]

[Yell if anything needs to be changed!]

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.

[fixerfortherich]

Ray steps into the busy airport with Nikki's picture in mind, looking around to find her in the crowd of people. Ever since their last conversation the fixer was looking forward to finally meeting the young researcher. With his expertise it only takes a moment to locate her.

He covers her eyes with his hands, chuckling.

"I knew I might find you here."

[ppdckscience]

"Well tiny girls covered in tattoos do stand out." Nikki went for the joke when she's spotted (and found) by Ray. "And can't pass up Starbucks!" she giggled, the topic having been one of several recent email vent sprees. "The conference called and you get me in the process." the researcher was grinning. "Otherwise long time no see beyond our electronics."

[fixerfortherich]

"Tiny and beautiful." Ray chuckled. She's as cute and energetic as he remembered.

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?"

[ppdckscience]

"So true, its been who knows how long since we could talk outside our phones and screens." Nikki had to smile now. "Routine flight, got a ton done on my work in the process. Things have been nuts at the Shatterdome too." adding in bits not mentioned in her last couple of emails from the aftermath of the invasion.
