A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one


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!

[I mean... probably any pairing with Wade would be a crack pairing let's be real. Not super into the Twisted options, but any of the others are fine by me.]

[Knock, knock.

Hopefully, Harley hears the thrumming on her door that marks Wade's arrival. It's date night time! He's dressed in a suit! A fancy black suit, not his normal suit. And a tie! He's still got his mask on though. Is he excited? Of course, he's excited! But he's doing his best to maintain some semblance of composure, aside from bouncing on his feet like he's holding in a crap.

Why hasn't she answered yet?
Did she change her mind?
Did she bail out a back window?]


...Harley? [He's not worried, you're worried!]

[personal profile] whattheysay 2020-02-28 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAP! [It's half a yes, half a yup, mingled into a bastardized word that sounds kind of like a yelp as she stumbles over something that breaks ...? There's Brucey's hyena laugh behind the door and Harley's flinging it open, looking like a million bucks (that mighta fallen into a ticker tape parade and done a whirlwind around a Sephora and hell, who knows, maybe did a little dumpster diving before she reached the inevitable conclusion that THIS was what she was going to wear for her date).]

Hey hot stuff! Nice suit. Who died?
fourthwalled: (bring it)

[personal profile] fourthwalled 2020-02-29 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He appreciates her style. Like a psychopathic Lisa Frank. Wade manages to look uncertain even with the mask. He's very good at emoting. It's like a whole nother superpower.]

Oh, uh. You don't like it? I was trying to dress up for a fancy date night? I can change...? Also got you these. [He pulls a bouquet of lilies from behind him and presents them.] Was thinking about a bouquet of C4, but Cable talked me out of it. Party pooper. He's just jealous. Wanted me to ask him out on a date, I think.

[personal profile] whattheysay 2020-03-01 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You kiddin'? It's perfect. Specially if we need to go to a funeral later. [There was no teasing in her voice at all - with the way she lived, they very well might end up at a funeral later. Or causing one. Or several.]

Every date night is fancy date night with me. [She looks at the flowers he presents and makes a face of happiness, even giving a loud "AW" at the sight of them. True, she would have liked the C4 more, but ... ] Eh, he's a party pooper. Gimme a second, I'm gonna put these in some water.

[She finds a vase, dumps out the bullet casings filling it in the sink, and plunks the flowers prettily into the glass. When she returns, she has one of the flowers tucked into her hair.] Shall we?

Good thinking. We could even just crash a wedding if we wanted. [That might be fun!

Wade peaks in the door as she heads in but waits for her at the door, grinning when she's back, offering her an arm to take.]
Lets! So where did you want to go for dinner? Steak house? Sushi? Italian? Hole in the wall diner? Whatever the lady desires.

[personal profile] whattheysay 2020-03-05 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
A wedding. Oooh! [Harley claps her hands and then comes out, slipping her arm into his. She shrugs when she thinks about it. A greasy spoon sounds good. Somewhere the food takes an iron stomach. She loves food, just all kinds.]

Hole in the wall. Total hole in the wall. Know any good diners?
