#RAREPAIRS

[hepalien]

Hey rarepair shippers, I'm about to change your lives.

The AO3 Primary Ship Search add-on for Firefox (it's called AO3 First Tag Search for Chrome) adds this little checkbox to the AO3 advanced search page

And if you check the box, the search only returns fics where the pairing you entered is the first one tagged. This is better than the otp:true operator imo because it will show fics with secondary/background pairings too as long as your preferred ship is the main one.

You can even use the add-on in Firefox or Kiwi browser on Android mobile.

Have fun 😘

Do you ever have those rarepair fics that you are so proud of but only a handful of people are ever likely to read? And it makes you sad to think it's never going to be well-read.

Except maybe there's well-read (in quantity of readers) and well-read, in how much those readers adore it, beloved and reread by a precious few it is precious to, too. Maybe it doesn't need so many to appreciate it when those that do appreciate it so intensely.

One must imagine diluc ragnvindr as the main character in a dating sim game who has about twelve other people with crushes on him. The list goes as follows:

- His childhood friend he kissed once when he was 16 who he hasn't seen in ten years (Thoma)

- His ex-wife who he has complicated feelings towards (Jean)

- The girl from that flower shop who is obsessed with him (Donna)

- An old chinese man who keeps quoting ancient texts at him and saying he knew the guy who wrote it (probably a god) (Zhongli)

- The first one's boss who keeps flirting with him and suggesting they enter a polyamorous marriage in really unsubtle ways (Ayato)

- A gambler lady who thinks he's really good at killing people and keeps sexually (???) choking/strangling enemies they fight (Yelan)

- Some gang leader from Japan with big tits who keeps trying to beetle fight him and is endearingly stupid (Itto)

- An architect from Persia who is knee deep in debt and cares very heavily about everything (Kaveh)

- The architect's roommate, also a well-known Arabian scholar who never takes his headphones off and somehow still hears everything Diluc says (Alhaitham)

- A French prison warden who keeps reminding him to take care of himself while he struggles to reign in his own daughter (?? Child who is always with him??? Coworker?? Diluc can't tell) (Wriothesley)

- his doctor (Baizhu)

- That one night stand he had when he was on a killing spree who turned out to be a leading part of the organisation that killed his father and then fucked his brother but is still trying with him too for some fucking reason (Childe)

"Rarepair"? Buddy, those pairings aren't rare, they're downright undercooked – I feel like I'm at risk of contracting salmonella just from reading the tags.

My friend asked me ‘what’s a rare pair you like to ship?” While talking about the smiling critters, and uhhh……

I can explain-

So like the moon and stars, am I right? (AY She asked me so I respond)

I did this in my class so, I know it’s bad (and yes I’m doing the mini comic)

okay so like knowing the cookie run fandom i’m gonna get absolutely destroyed for this and I MAY be a bit autistic but hear me out

I think that people are getting way too mad at other people for shipping certain cookies in the cookie run fandom 😭i’ll be so fr right now i don’t care if they don’t know eachother in canon literally as long as it makes you happy

as long as you dont ship adults and children and sibling and stuff along that nature of course OBVIOUSLY dont do that that’s terrible

like honestly shipping BEGAN because it’s for fun. it’s not the end of the world if someone doesn’t ship a ship that you don’t like lol, it’s just a game for fun! I like to have fun :] i like shipping characters in cookie run for silly goofy fun time.

ship purelily? awesome. ship purecacao? preppy. ship like- polyancients and a ton of other rarepairs? pureelderlily? awesome. Affocao? Affocara? Affouni or Affocream? I DONT CARE. literally shipping is for fun and it’s subjective, so just!!! have fun with it. be silly with it. get funky. get fresh. ship two cookies that have literally never met if you want.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEING RESPECTFUL AND SAFE you can literally do whatever you want. peace :D
