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.

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.

Iratus is the world's most furious necromancer to ever live, die and live again. His desire is to kill everyone and make them his slaves, because everyone not under his direct control just makes him angrier.

Pair him with the sweetest cutie-pie ever who is the only person who doesn't make him mad, please.

[How about this half-dryad daughter of the earth who uses her magic to make flowers bloom and balance nature?]

[ Sounds like a good start to me! Would you like to approach the whole 'he's out to kill everyone' angle? Outright reformation? Or maybe he keeps her in a secluded location and hides it from her? Canon Iratus hates nature as much as people, but I can imagine an AU where he wants to let nature reclaim the world and keeps her protected from the way he's doing it. ]

[It would definitely be possible to hide it from her. She lives on a farm that's pretty isolated and prefers to spend her time in the forest or in her greenhouse and isn't hooked on technology so she won't see the news, etc. She would love that he's protecting nature as much as she is - just not the way he's doing it.]

[ooc:...whelp, care for a moon princess?]

[ Oh yes, please! I've got a mental image of leaning heavily into the crack, and... basically this. But open to other ideas, of course! ]

[Ohhh that would be interesting, or Iratus wants to control everyone and when asked why he doesn't disclose it's to ensure no one harms Usagi. Or, when Usagi asks why he does what he does, it's to protect her...

Also, Usagi or Princess Serenity? Usagi is more childish, whereas Princess Serenity is more refined, and a bit shy at times? Either way both are sweethearts.]

[ Warship AI now trapped in a cyborg body. Good times. ]

[Can do medieval or modern; OCs and assumed CR are loved but not necessary. I have Thoughts for a GOT crossover but am totally down for whatever else.]
