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.

The converted cargo bay they were using for this...unorthodox experiment seemed to shudder as this happened. Whatever the device was, it certain had an effect on the surrounding environment. The klaxon clicked on, and the voice came from the bridge again.
Commander, vibrations are approaching maximum safe levels. We've put her down on the water, but the Chief is worried we'll start popping rivets.
"Acknowledged." She turned back to he device at the far end of the space. They had precious little idea what it was or did. Totenkopf had left behind a myriad of projects around the world that he had either abandoned as unworkable, or simply been unable to finish as he concentrated on his world-destroying rocket. This one was a seemingly solid octagon. They hadn't been able to peel the thing open, all they knew was that it drew power. It had taken the better part of six months just to figure out how to turn the thing on.
Energy seemed to sparkle around the inner edge of what she called the 'loop'. There was a concave indentation on one side. They assumed that was the bit that did something.
She didn't like the look of it.
"Bring it gently up to full," she commanded, and leaned forward against the railing of the catwalk she was on, gloved hands gripping the railing tightly.

It also sent her and the tesseract onto the deck of Franky's ship, knocking the inventor flat in the process.
"Much bigger problem. Explosion is one thing but this is not my lab." but the tesseract and mystery device are somehow linked.

"Dex, you told me you thought this was a sonic cannon." Dex responded apologetically.
"That looks like a woman holding a cube, Dex," she added. Dex once again apologized.
She sighed, walking to the ladder and sliding down with feet on the sides of it in one smooth moment, turning around and flicking open the catch on a holster. No sense in being incautious about things.
"Welcome to His Majesty's Mobile Airstrip Manta Base," she said, all cool professionalism. "My name is Commander Cook, and you're under arrest."
