#WHAT ARE YOUR RAREPAIRS??? 👀👀👀

[wickedcriminal]

Out of curiosity, do you have any crossover ships for MHA/FMA crossover fics? Asking for a friend

(The friend is me, hi, all my crossover ships here are apparently rarepairs?)

HI PANCAKE!!! Crossover ships are so fun, and FMA/MHA has so much variety!!! Here's a few interactions, romantic or otherwise, I came up with personally

I dabbled in an FMA/MHA crossover once, with Ed world-hopping and getting stuck in the Hero Academia world and having to go to UA undercover for a time. He hit it off with Yaomomo for having similar 'quirks', and they became pretty close friends. I thought the Ed/Momo ship in that context was pretty cute, especially since Momo can match his rapid-fire intellect and Ed can boost her self-esteem!

I think if Al was there, he might be really excited about the amount of kids his age who can hang out with that won't judge him for his armored body! Ship-wise, he could probably be paired with anyone. Dude's got rizz. 😂 Just to name a few, Toru could empathize with the ghost kid allegations, Tokoyami would think his armor looks awesome and the blood seal thing is gnarly, and Uraraka (hell even DEKU) has that same charismatic energy of Mei or Julia or Elena, the hero-hopefuls with a lot of heart. There's a lot of really fun interactions to play around with in general, especially since Al is the perfect age to be in this class!

On a platonic tangent, I think Greed would hit it off with the League of Villains. He'd probably try to take over the League himself shdhmsgajaam. He, Spinner, Twice, Toga and Compress in particular would be pretty close, while Dabi and Shiggy would probably be more withdrawn. (Extra tangent— but i think Greedling specifically would be very interested in observing All For One since Ling would be interested in his secret to immortality and Greed wants All The Quirks, Too, so they've got a reason to be in the League of Villains in the first place)

Mustang's team is actually really fun to think about, because there are so many bnha characters that would give them such great general interactions! For starters, I'm really interested in an interaction between Mustang and Rei Todoroki. There's Hawkeye, who would be interesting to see interact with Lady Nagant. Havoc and Tensei, too, since they both were revered soldiers who were paralyzed from the waist down. Ed himself and Hawks have similar ground to share due to getting involved with the government at horrifically young ages.

For ships in particular, though, I'm not entirely sure– though Roy and Aizawa would be really funny because they're both begrudging father figures to problem children ASDHXBMSMA though I suppose I do actually like the idea of Riza and Nagant, since they've both got a haunted history of blood on their hands.

Now that I think of it, for no reason in particular, I really like the idea of Mandalay teaming up with Mustang's Team for something, and hitting it off with Havoc. I really like the potential witty dynamic there, with Havoc being a flirt and Mandalay bouncing it back with charm, but not as much fire as Pixie-Bob. It's the subtle things for me haha

ALSO OFF TOPIC BUT IMAGINE A RYUKU AND TRUE-FORM ENVY FACE OFF OMG

[lily-alphonse]

for the rare pairs, did you ever get one with marlon and rasmodius? i haven’t been able to stop thinking about them together 👀

Old man yaoi is such a crowd favorite fr lmao

Ok you guys aren't ready for where I'm going to take this (except Human) because I had an idea for vampire!Abigail that involves Marlon and Rasmodius getting together. Cuz you know, like, 2 dads or whatever. (Technically 3 but Pierre? Ugh. He’s wimpy comic relief in this only)

For the purposes of this fic, Abigail is the wizard's daughter and only him and Caroline know.

Anyways I'm trying to do A LOT with this one so maybe I just do bullet points this time to give you the idea

There's no farmer, instead Marlon takes Abbie under his wing as a young adventurer

Rasmodius (because he watches everyone, like a creep) sees this and is like UGH not that THAT GUY, because Marlon is essentially his annoying coworker. Marlon tries to be buddy buddy with him and Ras is not about it. Like bro do your job protecting the valley and shut up pls.

Abbie stumbles on something she shouldn't in the mines, accidentally unleashing an ancient evil vampire and getting bit. It's very important to me that she turns into a bat. It happens automatically when the sun touches her skin, as a defense mechanism. She can survive in the sun as a bat.

So shit hits the fan obviously. Caroline goes to the wizard's tower screaming and freaking out because her daughter is missing and she is certain he has something to do with it (she hadn't known about Marlon) and Rasmodius pieces together it probably has something to do with the ANCIENT EVIL now on the loose. He assures her he is going to take care of it and has no choice but to team up with (ugh) Marlon.

Marlon doesn't know about Abbie. Ras is keeping all his secrets close and being careful about which info he gives to who. They go on an adventure of bonding. Important features of which are homoerotic wound dressing, and Marlon getting serious with Ras about his past and stuff. So he sees another side to him and starts to gain respect for the man.

A lot happens next that I don't have worked out yet sue me its just a concept rn. I have a few different ideas for how Abbie's side of things can go. She could potentially get out of the mines and turn into a bat which leads to her flying to the tower bc who else would believe her? Or she could be trapped in the mines with the original vampire and be like his spawn under his control or something.

Either way, we end up at a moment of truth where Marlon realizes Abbie has turned and feels like they need to kill her or otherwise trap her for eternity or something. And Ras is like tf no Im not condemning my daughter to that and Abbie and Marlon both are just [shocked pikachu face]

BATTLE OF THE DADS. DAD DUEL. FATHER FIGHT where they are physically fighting but also arguing about who knows best for her since the wizard has literally never spoken to her in her life but is also the one trying to save her, while Marlon actually did become a strong father figure for her but wants to kill her (only to end her suffering ofc)

Imagine they are fighting and Abbie just calls over them like "Not really suffering a whole lot, to be honest!" because this is a dark comedy as well as a romance.

Ras wounds Marlon badly enough (owie, it hurt his heart to do though, what is this, FEELINGS?) that he is subdued. Abbie and Ras take on the ancient vampire and nearly DIE but Marlon comes back and saves the DAAAY

He has the opportunity to also kill Abbie and doesn't, he's come around to compromise his morals for the sake of the ones he loves

Potentially even more homoerotic wound dressing and then they KISS with their old scruffy man beards and Abbie pretends to vom

The End

If you want this one to exist be sure to reblog and vote for it in the poll! This would be a hell of a fun one

Send me any Stardew Valley rarepair and I will tell you how I would make them work! (Even non-marriage npcs) If youre lucky you may get a mini fic out of it. Check the list below to see if Ive already answered yours

Hello, I'm new to showtime and I found out about this because many people couldn't stop talking about this and I would like to know what showtime is.

❓👀Many👀❓

Oh Id like to be in your circle buddy, we're quite the rarepair.

"Showtime" is the ship name for Caine x Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus! So when they say showtime, they like seeing those two characters being in a romantic setting!

[bharv]

Sorry that DATV wasn’t your speed! Anyway, since we’re talking OC rarepairs 👀 …

Raphael/Manva?

Glim/Gortash???

Gale/Manva?????

These are all canon in the nightmare world…

- 🫀

ahhhh thank you beloved heart anon!

So...

Raphael/Manva absolutely could happen I think. She's very suggestible post-tadpole, at least at the start, and if it seems like a clear bargain for her and he set it early enough she would take it. He just gets his timings wrong; the more she recovers, the less she would need somebody like him. But also, he likes the chase and the resistance a lot, and even if she did agree to terms, I think she'd hold out just enough to keep his interest.

Glim/Gortash absolutely not. She hates him, she hates everything he stands for, she hates people like him. And I think she doesn't offer him anything he'd want either. There's no way.

Gale/Manva is interesting. I think with all DurgeGale ships there's something in Gale that is akin to Gortash, and I think the magic lesson would be very interesting as pre-tadpole Manva isn't just a monk, she's a multiclass with cleric, rogue, and wizard. I think it would hinge on whether Gale would find much interest in post-tadpole Manva, and I'm not sure he would. Every Durge is different, but Manva is very different post-tadpole especially at the start, and I'm not sure her and Gale would have hit it off. If they did, however, man she would be driving him back to Mystra so hard, just like she drives all of them back to what she considered their sacred duties and rights.

rich girls having an awful terrible no good very bad time in the wilderness but being very gay about it!!!!!

jackie's crush is going to indirectly kill her and lottie's crush is going to explode in a plane... i think they should kiss about it!!!

they have the ✨ height difference✨

they have the enemies to lovers vibe (you could easily picture lottie holding a knife against jackie's throat in this scene. which would be gay)

the girl who's death represents the death of society rules and the girl who rises as the symbol for the wilderness <33

"who died and made him king of snacks" 🤝 "it's been three days you guys can't be that desperate"

mean lesbians. manhater lesbians.

girls who suck at frech should stick together and uhhh suck. um. titties

wearing their best gay little outfits in the wilderness

what if i organized a seance in the attic of the haunted cabin for team morale and you became possessed by the spirits of the wilderness possibly dooming us all, and we were both girls?? 😳👀👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

being just a little useless in the survival lifestyle. jackie sleeping in and lottie disassociating in the lake

girldads to shauna shipman's children. jackie is the biological dad to the wilderness baby, lottie is the dad who stepped up

HI HELLO I saw your tag on the femslash rarepairs post. Have I found another person on Jod's green earth who has read Crimson Empire??? I have been yelling at the tlt fandom that they would love that shit and no-one listens to me!!

YES YOU HAVE HELLO YOU ARE SO CORRECT I think I remember getting a notification from you and going 👀 over your URL!! I listened to the whole trilogy on the edge of my seat because I wanted to wait for the end before I went to find some fic and then? it turns out? there isn't any?? excuse me? there's so much potential there. old people! gay people! old gay people! swords and hammers and demons! religious trauma! what's not to love!

If you have not read The Crimson Empire, dear reader, here is a pitch:

You are fifty-odd years old. You live a peaceful cottagecore life in the mountains with your husband whomst you adore and your """dog""". You are happy. except in your younger years you led a people's war against the empire, murdered the old king, took his throne, and then you faked your death to run away with the love of your life and now some fucker has showed up to murder him and your entire village, so obviously you have to kill him and everyone who was involved in this, except? there's some teenager out there pretending to be you? and she has an army on the march? and your old friends are scheming and there's something weird as fuck happening with magic and you are way too old for this and you are pissed as hell

18. "I need to change the bandage" for sorpeli? 🙏🏼👀

Plus send me a number with a ship and i’ll write it (accepted ships are tdp canon ships + rarepairs (claudiez, sopreli, corvus/terry, sorvus) this one is also on ao3

Soren is a crownguard.

Opeli has known—has always known—that his job is to lay down his life for the king, should straits become that dire. That is what the crowguard is sworn to do, what any good knight is sworn to do.

The first time Soren returned to Katolis with bruises (bludgeoned by an enemy turned ally named Elmer), Opeli had been concerned, but not overly so. Then, a few years later, there'd ben the assassination attempt within the castle walls, and Corvus and Soren had shared grim, bloodied smiles with one another. She'd tutted, but mostly looked over things in Ezran's stead while he worried over their friends in the infirmary.

It's been another four years since then, and two since Corvus departed for greener forests.

She doesn't know when the sight of Soren's bright red blood started turning her stomach.

Perhaps it was when a recruit in training struck him a tad too hard, alarm rising at his black eye during the following council meeting. Maybe it was when he'd brought her soup that winter, when ailment had left her bedridden. Or maybe it's just that, at twenty-seven, Soren is far more capable of being a friend to her than he was a decade ago, and her heart dreads the loss of one of her few true companions.

The crownguard are all tired after the latest assault on their city's walls. The fight had went on for two days, but it seems over—for now, at least. Ezran barks orders left and right, opening the castle doors to take in people who's families were burned or turned to rubble in the attack. People snag Opeli's arm or catch her cloak, asking for prayers, for last rites. She gives them, tired and desolate, eyes searching for—

Soren, struggling to take off his armour as he sits on one of the benches, a few scrapes on his face.

Opeli makes a beeline for him, watching as he shoos away their main medic towards one of his younger knights who's sporting a bad leg. "Just a scratch," Soren says. "It'll be fine."

"It will, will it?" Opeli admonishes, towering before him.

Soren's eyes light up at the sight of her; he cracks a grin. "I trust you'll put in a good prayer for me, won't you?"

She tuts as she sits down on the bench next to him, surveying the damage. It's a long but seemingly thin cut along the sliver of fabric between his shoulder late and arm gauntlet. No wonder it hurts to try to take the armour off on his own.

She reaches over, unfastening one of the straps. "Let me. Clerics are trained marginally in healing, you know." It's in the first few years of apprenticeship, so they can speak on matters of medicine and when last rites should actually be performed.

He watches her, eyes raking over for any hint of injury. "You and the other clergy were fine?"

"You and the other crownguard let no one to the second story, so yes, we're fine."

Soren's fingers catch hers once she's wrestled off the shoulder pad. "Then why are your hands shaking?"

Because we both saw friends and allies die tonight. Because for every crownguard I saw slumped over, dead, I feared it was you, and disgust at my relief when it wasn't pierced me through every time. Like Lady Justice's sword.

Opeli clears her throat, gesturing, resisting the urge to avert her eyes when Soren does as she wants and removes his shirt. She has to make sure he can take the damn thing off, after all, with his hurt arm and sore shoulder. Soren manages, grimacing, and she frowns more sternly when she sees blood on the bandage already wrapped around his arm, dried and then fresh again.

"You were already injured?"

"I'm fine," he says, but yelps when she pokes at it pointedly. "Alright, easy. Relax. I'm still here, aren't I?"

"I'll need to change this bandage," she mutters. "Clean both wounds now. I'll be back with a bowl of water. Don't move."

Soren is nearly lounging when she returns, legs kicked out and leaning against the wall, still shirtless, but Opeli pays it no mind because clerics don't look, even if her cheeks heat something terrible.

Instead she focuses on dabbing her rag in the bowl of too cool water and cleaning out the wounds, carefully. Soren sits up straight for it, blue eyes trained steadily on her, though she doesn't know what for.

Her eyes flicker from his wound as she re-bandages it to his chest, to his jaw and lips, and then away again. She needs... Her lips twist when she glances up and sees the furrow of his brows, the look in his eyes.

Somehow she knows that haze in his eyes, even if no one has gazed at her that way in years, and even if he is too young and foolish to have it. Not for her.

"Don't look at me like that," she mutters, not like he's just drinking in the fact that she's there, beside him. Like he wants to keep her there. She keeps her eyes trained on her work. Distance. Plausible deniability. That's what she needs, and what he needs too; he'll thank her for it later. For sparing him something unsatisfactory.

"Like what?" His fingers of his injury-free side drift up and tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, away from it'd fallen in disarray over her circlet.

Her throat dries as his fingertips skim her jawline on the way back done. She swallows thickly.

"Soren." It probably comes out harsher, if more breathless, than she means it to.

He shrugs and pulls away, and lets her finish the tying the knot around his new bandages, the blood finally gone.

She should get up and leave. Tend to someone else.

"I'm glad you're alright," he says, his voice a quiet tether in a room full of chaos.

And while she's brittle, and maybe even a little resentful that he gets to be so—so open and indulgent in comparison, she will not take her weakness out on him. She will not begrudge their friendship just because something persistent inside idiotically wants what she cannot have.

And she did pray for his safety—for all of their safeties—but she doesn't need to say that out loud. She doesn't need to state her fears that if she is less holy, the gods who answered her prayer will stop listening, and take him away from her.

Justice is about balance. She cannot let herself tip over the edge lest the consequences come.

So she says this, instead, and allows herself a smile once he shrugs on his shirt.

Not every truth can, or should, hurt, as she meets his sky blue eyes, so warm and so alive. Still alive.

"I'm glad you're alright, too."

They sit on the bench with the bowl of water between them till the sun sets, and both must attend to their duties.

Hello Everyone! As we prepare to bid farewell to the month of October, we also wrap up our Rarepair event. We would like to take a moment to highlight the lovely fanworks of all the talented writers and artists who participated, who poured their hearts out in our community to bring us the best of their creations. To showcase our immense love for all the wonderful submissions this event was celebrated with, we will be sharing them all, starting with:

"Merman!Wei Wuxian and his hapless fisherman" by @fistfuloflightning

CEO Wei's Best Bodyguard by The_Indian_Ghost [@theindianghost]

It was not every day he was called into his Boss’s office, and Mingjue wondered what job he’d be assigned to next, or if this would be his final dismissal. Wei Wuxian sighed as he set his sights on Mingjue’s tall form standing at attention in front of him, and a small smile played at the ends of his lips. “Mr Nie. Always so formal and proper,” he said, shaking his head fondly. “Congratulations. You’re being promoted! You are now my personal bodyguard for the remainder of your employment!” he said, grinning at him. Mingjue blinked in surprise.

Teacher Wei takes a Sick Day by The_Dark_Ghost (The_Indian_Ghost)

Wei Wuxian didn't show up to work even an hour later, when he loved his job and loved his kids and would never skip a day without informing him or the school first. So principal Nie Mingjue decides to do a house call to check on him, finds a sick Wei Wuxian, and gets more from him than he ever thought he would at the start of the day.

By My Side Again by The_Indian_Ghost

“A-Jue…” Wei Wuxian murmured into the talisman, activating the sigil for ‘record’ embedded within it by pressing his thumb to it. “I really messed up this time, A-Jue. I don’t know what to do. Word has probably gone back to Lanling by now. I just…” he sighed. “I know we fought. I know we’re broken up now, and you’re probably going to discard this anyway. But. I can’t help but think. If you were here… you’d know what to do. I…” he swallowed thickly, winced at the sound of a shrieking fierce corpse nearby, slipped his thumb off the sigil, and then numbly watched as the talisman assembled itself into a small bird. The bird hopped off his palm and fluttered away, disappearing into the night. Wei Wuxian tracked it as far as he could see it, before he sighed and let his head thunk back against the rock as a sudden bout of exhaustion hit him.

To Live in Satisfaction by TheShenanijiang [@theshenanijiang]

Nie Mingjue is strongarmed into taking an omega to produce heirs for the Nie clan. He picks Wei Wuxian after seeing him interact with Nie Huaisang.

Sinners playing Saints by Anonymous [@a-blue-nony]

"When your soulmate dies, their final words to you etch themselves into your skin and your life looses its color." Nie Mingjue had once read in his sects ancient texts, he had wondered if it was meant to be taken literally or metaphorically. He finds out the answer himself.

Glace Malady by Anonymous

Wei Wuxian is down with a cold, Nie Mingjue takes care of him

Let Me Break Your Ribs and Climb In Next To Your Heart by TheShenanijiang

Alpha Nie Mingjue mated Omega Wei Wuxian at the Qishan Wen Grand Conference and then let him go back to Lotus Pier. When Jiang Wanyin staggers into the Unclean Realm, NIe MIngjue looks for his mate, but does not see him. When he finds out Wei Wuxian was thrown into Burial Mounds he loses his mind. Wei Wuxian is the only one who can bring him back to himself to hopefully win the war.

The Wolf at the Door by TheShenanijiang

Nie Mingjue gets a phone call about his missing boyfriend. Wei Ying breaks containment.

Call and Response by MajiLovePrincess [@mdzs-rabbithole]

“You were out late,” the figure on his bed says, bemused. Nie Mingjue lowers Baxia and then sheaths her. Something complicated fills his lungs—it’s shaped a little bit like fondness and apprehension. “You came.” Wei Wuxian rises from the bed, looking more like the dead he commands than flesh and blood. “You called.”

To all the participants, we thank you for participating and sharing your beautiful artwork and fanfics with us. We hope you guys had just as much fun exploring the prompts (and this delightful ship) as we had while making them. The official ao3 collection link for this event can be found here.

HIIIII HICCANNA NATION, long time no post!!!

Sooooo long story short, a bitch overcommitted HARD last year, and had like 17 Hiccanna month posts that I completely ran out of steam to finish. And then because I felt so guilty I didn't finish THOSE, I also didn't reblog all the incredibly awesome posts the rest of y'all made, and I'm really sorry for not giving my people the love and appreciation they deserve!!! And then, of course, my life from like October through like March became an absolute shitstorm, and I got semi-threatened with eviction and then friend-dumped by one of the most important people in my life D: It was a whole Ordeal™️, and sadly, my brain was too fried to think about my favorite awkward blorbos 💔

BUT BY GOD, THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO GET MY LIFE TOGETHER AND PULL THROUGH FOR ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE THIS FUNKY LITTLE EVENT COME TO LIFE!!! I WILL finish reblogging all of last year's Hiccanna Month posts before the end of this month if it kills me!!! And by god, I WILL have this event again, because it's what y'all deserve!!! I don't have the spoons to post much of my own stuff this year (except maybe some leftovers from last year lol), but I'm going to be more on top of my shit about hyping anyone and everyone who decides to participate :3 I'm so grateful for each and every one of you, and I can't tell you how happy it's made me that you all have made this event for my little rarepair OTP bigger and better than I ever imagined 💚🧡💚🧡

I am, however, following suit for some of the other RotBTFD ship months and cutting down from one prompt a day to two per week for 8 prompts total, with an overarching theme for each week. I honestly don't have the spoons to do a prompt every day this year, although for future Hiccanna months, that could change. The two-a-week format seems to work better for a lot of people anyways, since I've gotten feedback that 31 prompts in a row is, er…pretty overwhelming, to say the least ^^; So two prompts a week for this year, and we will see if people like this format better!

@gryffindorkxdraws a tag for you, as promised 🩵

AND NOW, the prompt list!!! Apologies for only giving you guys a couple weeks of prep time—I know it's usually more ^^; But y'all know I'm flexible about late submissions, and it's totally fine if you submit for Hiccanna month after July! And who knows??? If I'm feeling spicy, I might tack on a bonus week for the first week of August 👀👀👀

WEEK 1—MUSIC Special thanks to @lovestrucklyuniverse for suggesting a focus on music from Hiccup and Anna's movies—I'm enamored with that!!! Of course, these prompts are just suggestions, and if you'd rather make something inspired by a pop song, alternative rock jam, or Eurovision ballad that reminds you of Hiccanna, then have at it!

1. For the Dancing and the Dreaming—A re-imagining of our favorite Viking wedding song with Hiccup and Anna! They're certainly the sort of people who would do all manner of impressive feats and grand gestures to win each other over, but the joke is on them—they don't need to! Sometimes, pledging love and devotion is enough, and there's no need to slay monsters or gift troves upon troves of treasure to prove yourself worthy of someone.

2. More Than Just the Spare—One of my absolute favorite things about these two is how they rise above being overlooked and underappreciated and accomplish some truly spectacular things. This prompt is all about Hiccup and Anna showing that they can be more than anyone ever expected them to be—preferably together, while being madly in love!

WEEK 2—MOVIES AND TV Let's be real—we've all dreamed of seeing Hiccup and Anna interact (and adorably butcher flirting several times) on the big screen. Whether it's through an epic Disney-Dreamworks crossover (god, we all wish, right?!) or imagining Best Awkward Blorbos in your favorite TV show, this week is all about Hiccanna slaying in visual media!

1. Romcoms—Have you ever watched a romcom and gone "You know what would make this better? If it was about Hiccanna!"? Furthermore, have you ever watched a romcom and gone "Well shit, this is literally just about Hiccanna!"? Well, now's your time! Make something inspired by your favorite Hiccanna-coded romcom, or a romcom you desperately believe needs more Hiccanna energy in it! Or, hell, make up a brand-new cheesy romcom plot for these two and make us all swoon 💞

2. Dramas—We forget it sometimes, but not everything in these two dorks' lives is sunshine and rainbows. Hiccup lost a whole-ass leg! Anna almost froze to death! They both grew up lonely, friendless, and (relatively) isolated from their communities! For this prompt, take your favorite drama and Hiccanna-ify it—or aplify the Hiccanna you already see! It can be any subgenre you want—coming-of-age drama, period drama, weird avant-garde indie drama, you name it! Subject those guys to some Dramatics™️ and let us see :3

WEEK 3—LITERATURE AND TEXT PROMPTS This week is all about something so many of us long to have an excuse to do--write about the blorbos! Whether you're looking to try your hand at fic for the first time or you're coming back to add more much-needed Hiccanna into our ever-sparse internet ecosystem, these text prompts will hopefully get your fanfiction juices flowing. Pick your favorite(s) of the four for each day, and write away! If you want to try and do all of them then have at it, but don't stress yourself out!!! I wanna make sure this year's event is as chill and no-pressure as possible, since I know a lot of options can be overwhelming, especially for Anna and I's fellow ADHDers! And if you don't want to commit to writing anything, or writing just isn't your strong suit, that's okay too! Use this week to make something based on any literature that brings Hiccanna to mind, or any literary world you'd love to see our favorite awkward ship in. Happy creating! Also HUGE shout-out to @lilandraws for helping me narrow this down from 40 fucking prompts, because when I tried to just casually make a list of text prompts I liked, I got, um...a bit carried away ^^; Also for giving some absolutely hilarious commentary that singlehandedly got me through the workday, bless 💚💚💚 And thank you to @creativepromptsforwriting for the prompts themselves!

1. Pick your favorite(s)!!! a) “Two bros, chilling in a small bed…” b) “Someone just handed you a cat?” c) “Sorry I tried to kill you.” “It’s fine, but next time you should try harder.” d) “Takes one to know one.”

2. Pick your favorite(s)!!! a) He had prepared himself for all the different ways she could reject him. But what he hadn’t prepared for was for her to actually say yes. b) “Want to hear some random facts about geese?” c) “What are we?” “Human. At least I hope we still are.” d) “I can’t stop thinking about kissing you.” “And what are you going to do about that?”

WEEK 4—COMIC BOOKS And now, for the ultimate kick-ass combination of visuals and literature—the visual novel and comic book!!! Since Hiccup and Anna are, fundamentally, animated cartoons (as much as they are much more to all of us!), it seemed fitting to wrap up with this one :3 This week is all about comics, and what epic shenanigans and hijinks can come of Hiccanna-ifying them!

1. Sci-Fi/Fantasy AU—One of the things comic books and visual novels do best is exploring fantastical scenarios and limitless possibilities. The iconic superhero AU is probably the most well-known, but your options don't end there! Do you have a favorite comic about guys on spaceships exploring the galaxy and battling aliens? Or a comic about a party of DnD-style adventurers taking down an evil wizard? Throw some Hiccanna in it and let us see! The sky's the limit, and really, you don't even have to stop there! (Note: Using AUs for ANY of these prompts is real and valid and encouraged, so don't feel like this is the only place where you can use wacky AUs! This is just the one where they have a special focus/emphasis. But AU away whenever you like—Hiccup and Anna kinda require an AU to even be able to interact, so it sort of comes with the territory!)

2. Favorite Comic Book Adaptation AU—Many of us have been lucky enough to see a comic we like be adapted into something else, and can say with confidence that the adaptation kicks absolute ass,, whether it be a movie, TV show, novelization, video game, or whatever else! Like with the previous prompt, superhero comics might be the first thing to come to mind. Of course, I'd be delighted to see Hiccanna in the world of the Spiderverse, Invincible, or your favorite DC or Marvel movie, but keep in mind these aren't your only choices! Something like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World or Netflix's The Sandman would be a totally valid option as well! Have fun and go crazy :3

Aaaaaaand that's all for now! Tag those posts with hiccannamonth2024 or hiccannamonth24 so I can see them and reblog, and happy Hiccanna month-ing! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with and shower all my love on it 💗💖❤️‍🔥 See you next month!!! We will go through all of July…and beyond >:3

As far as content goes, literally anything is welcome--edits, art, drabbles/fanfic, videos, interpretive dance you record yourself doing that has Hiccanna motifs, it is all fair game as long as it’s Hiccanna-related!

Your ever-determined Hiccanna month hoster person, Fuckyeahhiccannamonth 💚

Have you seen the 1st two double greetings that are out already?? 👀

Kai & Yul

Ally & Hunter

Still waiting patiently for more, though I know they'll take longer since these cost $180 apparently? And not everybody has that kind of cash.. 😅

But when they do, I'm really hoping to see more fans think outside the box and take to the chance to give us more pairings of characters from seasons 1 & 2 who've never even met! And I don't just mean within All-Stars either. I wanna see Aiden & Dan, Maggy & Drew, Gabby & Karol, Ashley & Rosa, Fiore & Lake, Ally & Dan, Connor & Lill, Alec with Tess, Rosa or Lake- Just- give us something new! Make fans' dreams of seeing their rarepair friendships (or romance ships) come true! Even if only for less than a minute.

gonna combine two of your greeting asks here!

this is a hilarious screenshot to have out of context, ngl.

same with the intro to the greeting-- iconic. i'm glad that Kai is as done with Yul as ever. on one hand, if Kai is living in the woods, i don't know why he needs to tie himself to human conceptions of wealth and status. on the other hand, if he has no job, i could see grabbing a quick buck with which to pick up food or supplies could be very handy.

imagine if these two were on the Cyan team instead of... Tom and Aiden, I guess (as the only two guys on that team). that would be so chaotic. i imagine Kai and Gabby would get along well, while Ellie would absolutely kick Yul's ass. Ellie not making merge robbed us of that.

i can see why they'd make a popular streaming channel, because this clip was cute as hell. i like how quickly they trade (joking) insults with each other. they're always on the same page, no matter how quickly the topic of conversation changes.

kind of confusing that Ally didn't already have sponsors, though...? at least she has her onlyfans ;) (/j) (of course it was ally's onlyfans that requested this greeting lmao)

honestly, having a sort of "speed dating" (not literally) kind of show with most of/all of the contestants would make a really interesting miniseries. i don't know how it would happen, but if ONC made episodes that were basically just like eight of these double greetings back to back (maybe with a bit of plot interconnecting them), i'm sure fans would eat it up.

it would also be really interesting to combine contestants with hosts. like, what would even happen if you got Trevor and Grett in a greeting with just each other...?

Forgot about this Grett greeting. "Do you know how boring those early episodes would've been if I *wasn't* slaying the competition?? I'm still proud of taking out Drew early on~ 😏" Understandable but still Fuck You Grett! 😤

Grett is such a fun villain character. i love how she does fully step up to the plate as a role, so she's not as serious about being mean as someone like Riya or Yul. plus, if she hadn't stepped up to stop the men's alliance, Miriam probably would have been eliminated, and then who knows who would have won?

(of course, i guess there are decent odds it could have been Alec. uh oh, now i've given you another reason to be mad at Grett /j)

Drew is a cutie, though, so i understand your want for revenge.

Here's a Will greeting from the same user - Hey it finally came full circle! First it was Ashley with a Will plushie, now Will with an Ashley plushie~ ^_^

moving in immediately with someone you just met on a reality show is craaaaaaaaazy. although, they're clearly very happy with each other, so if they were able to tell that they're just soulmates, then good for them!

the Ashley plushie is very cute. i wonder how much ONC would make if they did sell plushies of their characters. couldn't cost more than buying a greeting, right?

other than ConMan, what are some of your favourite rarepairs?

It may surprise you to find that Connor x Sherman is only my second rare-pair experience :D

The first being Connor x Pollux. I just came across it one day and the fic was so good it converted me.

Other than that I'm not really much of a shipper. I tend to lean more towards established or more popular/mainstream fanon pairs if I ever want to read/write/draw them 🙊

That's not to say I'm not open to hearing other people's hot takes 👀

[lily-alphonse]

rarepair- I’ve always found Elliott and Sandy interesting 👀💕

ELLIOTT AND SANDY OML YOURE A VISIONARY

I would pay to be their third... WHO SAID THAT? Guards!

ANyway

I think I would love to write Sandy as a mtf trans baddie and Elliott as pan bc they just give such queer slay. They would be the couple who slays together stays together kinda thing. Also I headcanon Sandy as Persian, tall af with thick aa eyebrows and takes no shit. And she's also older but I think her and Elliott would be around the same age. Maybe Elliott is a couple years younger than her like 32 and 35 kinda thing.

Elliott is used to being the smooth one. Smooth, charming, charismatic. He knows how to get what he wants.

When he first meets Sandy, he realizes about two sentences into their conversation that he knows nothing.

Sandy can talk circles around him with half as many words and a piercing gaze. But she likes when he fumbles, when his cheeks get pink. Her painted lips quirk just slightly at him.

And he is rapt. Suddenly he is unafraid to make a fool of himself if it makes her look at him like that. If it keeps her attention on him.

And that's how Elliott and Sandy become Stardew Gomez and Morticia Addams.

UPDATE: I have posted a oneshot for these two! You can check it out here

Send me any Stardew Valley rarepair and I will tell you how I would make them work! (Even non-marriage npcs) If youre lucky you may get a mini fic out of it. Check the list below to see if Ive already answered yours

Rarepair Masterlist

[multishipper33]

Hi we could be like best friends or something because I also am queer, autistic and a girl who likes mcyt, rarepairs, multishipping, (poly shipping), and music (I love music).

Also I voted flower ranchers in that one poll you really wanted to win, didn’t even see your begging for it until after I’d voted I just prefer flower ranchers. You can write me a Drabble if you want I don’t mind, maybe some hurt/comfort 👀

Haha you seem awesome, I’m happy to befriend you- it;s nice to meet you, Pear!! I hope we become better friends over the course of time :]]]

Thanks for the prompt dude- I tried, angst isn’t my strong suit

This won;t be that good if you’re looking for some quality hurt/comfort just go to ao3 or something

I made this while listening to Joel’s neck kisses playlist you’re welcome

CW: SWEARING, TERRIBLE JOKES, SH!TTY FORMATTING

—

Against his communicator, a small ‘ding!’ sound alerted him to the session’s end.

He cheered near valiantly as his timer was put on pause again, as his sword became unusable for combat, and as the anxiety was lifted from his shoulders at once.

Just as he was about to collapse on his bed and sleep for a solid thirteen hours, there was a knock at the door.

He grumbled to himself as he got up, opening the door to-

A very injured Etho, is what.

Etho opened his mouth to speak.

“…nope.” Joel mumbled, closing the door. Not today, fate!!

"Waitwaitwaitwaitwait-" Etho shouted, pushing the door with what seemed to be a more than slightly injured arm.

He sighed. “Just… just this once. I didn’t know where else to go.”

Joel opens his mouth to say something, hesitates, then closes it again.

“…fine, just get in before you catch a cold or something.”

He practically pulled Etho inside then, grumbling to himself about it being the end of session or something.

Joel led Etho to a small side room, one of those that used to be inhabited by pillagers, probably.

“Sit.” He said, “I’ll be back with some bandages and stuff. Don’t burn this place down or whatever.”

So he walks downstairs, grabs a first aid kit (the kinda thing the Watchers gave them for post-session), and walks back up the stairs.

Etho is in more or less the same position as he was before. Joel tosses the first aid kit in his general direction, missing completely.

As per usual.

He sighs and walks over to it, grabbing things like gauze and bandages.

“You do what you can reach yourself, I’ll do your back.”

Etho nods, yet he didn’t move an inch.

“…I can’t reach your back unless I have access to it, Eefo. You don’t need to take your shirt off or anything, but at least unzip the vest.”

He hesitates, before unzipping it and pulling his sweater down enough where Joel could see some sorta nasty burn.

Ouch, probably lava. Brutal.

“Have you put it under cold water yet?” Joel asked, voice barely a whisper.

Etho nods, wordless yet again.

Joel bites his lip. Cold water, next to clean it… who knows what was in that lava?

“Okay, just… hold still, I’m gonna clean it and it’s gonna hurt like a bitch.” He said, grabbing one of those alcohol wipes. That’s how you clean burns, right?

He sure fucking hoped so.

He watched as Etho’s face contorted in pain, watched as he fisted a hand into the sheets he was under, and wanted to make it to he’d never have to see that again.

“Okay, just- I think that’s clean, it looks fairly good to me…” Joel mumbles, rummaging around in the bag once again for some of that…

What was it called again? Polyamory???

Yeah, probably.

“I’m just gonna rub some of this… poly-something on the thing. Apparently that does something? I dunno, but it won’t sting as much.” He rambled, putting it on in the process.

Joel looked down at the first aid kit once again. Gauze or bandage?

Bandage, right?

He put it on the burn, and as he looked up at Etho, Joel felt a surge of something pained and familiar and all-wrong.

“Well. There you go. I don’t think there’s anything all too serious anywhere else, and now you have a slightly more functioning shoulder to do everything else with. You’re welcome.”

“…thanks.” Etho muttered, pulling his shirt collar back up and zipping his vest back up.

And wordlessly, with a piece of Joel’s heart in his hands, Etho left.

I love what tumblr did to the formatting it’s all wrong
