#but why is my fav ship a rarepair

[naivegh0ul]

just read the most beautiful fic and tell me why it only has 20 kudos. i'm going insane, i will never be the same bc of this fic and it has 20 KUDOS. not even 1,000 hits. i'm gnawing at the carpet and bouncing off the walls oh god i love this fic so much.

[glowexxy]

talking abt ships is kinda weird im usually like. liking dynamics in any way be it romantic platonic or queerplatonic and i think it would be neat if shipnames would be considered appliable to any interpretation more

[bifairywife]

istg i don’t cry when couples finally have their first kiss/gets together in a series but by GOD did they change the chemistry in my brain this was insANE-

(more thoughts on reblog)

[sanchoyo]

whys ygo the only fandom I’m in that’s really populated with crackships/rarepairs out the wazoo. Like there’s ofc A Lot of popular ships but no one looks twice at ‘weirder’ ones like ones where the charas never spoke. More fandoms could learn from this 😔

[eveledoze]

Since everyone is asking about ships, I'll join

What do you think about Doll x Uzi? :3 tbh one of my fav rarepairs

oh i really like them! but i see them as a platonic pairing. i like to think that if they teamed up (Liam that would be so cool, why did you kill Doll) they could understand each other better and sympathize with each other since they have the same problem + they have loved ones dead + they are traumatized + they are unloved and stuff

i can feel that they would have a strong sister dynamic ;(

messy skethes eehh

[reeseironi]

i love being a multishipper in persona like it’s so easy with these games. i obviously have my favs but like almost every ship is a banger. pegoryu? marry me. shuake? based and tragic and real. shukita? tell me more. shumako? they match each other so well. ryumako? opposites attract. makoharu? perfection. yusuann? #1 rarepair.

i could go on and on but you get the point.

persona 4 and 3 are the same way dude like man why everyone got chemistry

[harkingspot]

[kavzou]

Hello!! a little introduction since im new to tumblr

idk how things work here around tumblr. but heres a run-down..

This is an account made for Kavzou.

What is Kavzou?

Its a rarepair ship between the genshin characters Heizou and Kaveh.

Why do you ship them?

because they’re both my fav characters!! i personally like the imagined dynamic of them in my mind.

How did you start shipping them?

It’s a bit funny, but at first it was just a random thought. I thought it’d be fun to ship two characters that hadn’t been on a banner for over a year now. But since Kavehs been on one again, it’s like they seperated now lol. It started out as a joke but i genuinely haven’t stopped thinking about them for over a month.

I’ll mainly post my own kavzou fanart on here, and maybe from time to time a little something else. I think thats all for now? Since i think ive done all the possible questions people could ask me. My bad if the formats weird.

[averys-happy-space]

putting this here more for myself than anything. i wanna be able to look back at it in a year and see how its changed. explanations for each section under the cut

ship i loved at first sight: tara x piper. i don't know what the ship name is. taper? pira? pira seems nicer lol. anyway, tara used to be my favourite brawler (and is still up there in my top 5) and i think the first time i saw tara x piper fanart was on reddit. it was by Xpyray and i swear to god ive never fallen in love with a ship faster. their art is so fucking good and they dont rlly draw brawl stuff anymore but i still follow them cuz their art is so so so pretty (please go follow them if youre reading this). anyway so yeah thats how tara x piper became my fav ship.

ships i initially didn't like: rico x piper, shelly x colt imma be fr at the start i didn't really Get these ships. but after watching some of the official animations and learning more of the lore, i started to appreciate these ships more. i don't love them or anything but they can be cute

ships i don't like anymore: sandy x nita, leon x jessie, sandy x leon there is no real reason for this other than the fact that i simply stopped liking them as i grew up. as i was making this i realised that when i was younger i used to like the ships with the kids/teens more, but now i'm 17 and i'm just not interested in them anymore. i guess thats what happens when you grow up lol. these ships are still cute, but i just don't engage with them anymore

favourite popular ships: mandy x chester, fang x buster so a bit of background, i actually quit brawl stars for a while, i think after the gale brawl pass. i dont really remember why, but its probably because i just got bored of the game lol. i think that also played into why i'm no longer interested in the same ships as before. anyway, i came back this year during the bizarre circus brawl pass and accidentally fell in love with these two ships. honestly, i'm not even entirely sure why i fell in love with these two ships in particular. chester definitely caught my eye when i came back to the game because a) i love clowns b) i love a good troll c) i love the random XD energy chester has and d) he has super interesting & fun game mechanics. i have no interest in mandy really but then i saw One suggestive mandy x chester fanart that went hard af and suddenly i was on board lmao. on the other hand fang and buster were two characters that i took some time to fall in love with, but now they're my favourites lol it's so strange. i really don't know how it happened.

favourite rarepair: amber x maisie i was looking at a diagram of all the trios so far because i was brainstorming ideas for who to include in a fanfic and as i was looking at it, suddenly it Clicked in my mind that amber x maisie would go hard af. like think about it. overconfident fire entertainer who gets so swept up in performances that she forgets about safety x safety coordinator with a fire extinguisher for an arm who secretly likes being in dangerous situations? come on!!!! im surprised more people havent thought of this pairing cuz as soon as it clicked for me it seemed like such an obvious pairing to do. but then again they've never interacted in any animation/promo material/etc so i guess it's not a pair people would just think of without prompting. but it's so fucking good!!!! more people need to get in on this ship.

controversial ship: none here's the thing. i don't know any controversial ships that i can see myself shipping. the most controversial one i know is probably edgar x colette but i see them as siblings so i don't ship it nor do i engage with fanart of them. edgar and colette ships in general are probably controversial seeing as both of them don't have canon ages and it's vague enough that people are always talking about whether they're adults or minors. but i personally see both of them as older teens so i don't ship them with anyone. (to me, they're too old to hang out with the kid brawlers but also too young to hang out with the adult brawlers. it's weird because there's no other brawlers where i see them as teens, so in my mind edgar and colette both have 0 shipping potential)

ships i want to become canon the most: amber x maisie, fang x buster they're my current favourite ships. what else to say.

comfort ship: fang x buster i think about them All the Fucking Time. lowkey i started to project on fang a bit just cuz i like him so much. i don't even know why or how i started liking him this much but he's my favourite brawler now and it's horrible. i think the seal in the coffin was @/giveittomegay's fanart of them. THEY'RE SO FUCKING CUTE. like omfg. confident, charismatic chinese immigrant who just arrived at starr park x introverted insecure white guy who doesn't know how to approach others. slowburn where they become closer through working at the cinema and buster realises he's fallen in love basically immediately but fang hasn't realised his own sexuality (has had crushes on girls before so always assumed he was straight) and doesn't realise he's in love with buster until maisie straight up tells him. fang's confidence means he jokingly flirts with buster all the time because he thinks it's funny to tease the guy and make him flustered but doesn't realise buster gets flustered because he likes fang. fang is fucking stupid. also, i think using fang x shelly here as a conflict plot point would be so good. like, fang seeing a pretty girl and approaching her, flirting with her, etc. i like to think fang is dense as fuck and would genuinely believe he's in love with shelly despite buster occupying 90% of his thoughts because his thought process would be something along the lines of "oh, i just think about him a lot cuz he's my best friend, i'm sure this is all regular, normal bff things". and buster just fucking dying inside but not saying anything because he thinks it's none of his business and he shouldn't interfere in fang's love life. MAISIE WATCHING ALL THIS HAPPEN AND WANTING TO MURDER BOTH OF THEM FOR BEING SO DENSE. like ohhhhhh my god there is so much potential here it's fucking insane. side note: fang doesn't have anything against gay people. i like to think maisie x amber comes way before fang x buster, so fang knows gay people exist and like he is perfectly fine and comfortable being around them, he's just so stupidly dense that he doesn't realise HE is gay (or more specifically bi). he also assumes buster is straight because default sexuality and whenever fang makes jokes based on this assumption buster never corrects him. because buster is a pussy. god. i want to write this fanfic so bad but i'm so fucking bad at writing dialogue it's insane.

ships that deserve more attention: amber x maisie, brock x bibi, barley x bull, max x janet LET ME COOK HERE OKAY. amber x maisie i already explained above. brock x bibi (i call them bibrock) is because it's noted in bibi's bio that she's secretly a huge nerd and i think it would be super cute for her to have a bf who she can indulge in nerdy and geeky shit with. to me they're both massive comic book fans who become close by playing all the superhero video games together before branching out to other games. they're console gamers btw and they get SUPER competitive whenever they're playing against each other. but they also do play coop games where they work together. usually brock is the one who does a lot of theorycrafting and tries to minmax his grind so he can get all the resources in the most optimal and time efficient way possible, whereas bibi prefers just going into fights and wrecking havoc lol. barley x bull is because they're both restaurant owners/servers (barley has his bar, bull has his diner) and i think they would bond over shitty customers and interesting food/drink recipes. they're both also familiar with having fights break out in their establishment and are fully capable of shutting fights down, even if it means getting their hands dirty. they think they're on opposite ends of the spectrum but they're actually more similar than they realise. for sure a very slowburn romance (especially because i think bull would be denial about liking a fucking robot lmfao) max x janet is because they're both celebrity entertainers. yeah, that's it. no but seriously i see max as someone who puts up an outgoing persona in public and is generally a very hyper, high energy person but at the same time, she tends to keep people at a distance because she's scared of intimacy. before janet, her closest friends are surge and meg. surge kind of Knows something is up with her because every time he tried to ask about her past she clammed up and gave noncommittal responses. he worries about her but doesn't know what to do about it so he just tries to make her happy in the present. meg is a kid so she doesn't realise anything is wrong lol. hanging out with meg and surge makes max happy and she considers them family, but she still has a wall up around her true self. janet is the one who is finally able to help max come out of her shell and address her past trauma. it also helps that max thinks janet is very pretty and desperately wants to kiss her. this is canon btw don't question me.

first otp: tara x piper | current otp: fang x buster i basically said all i have to say about these ships so yeah. that's it.

1- What is your favorite BFDI and Inanimate Insanity SHIP❤ and Why?

2- What is your favorite BFDI and Inanimate Insanity EPISODE📺 and why?

1-

BFDI : non serious answer : nickel x tennis ball.... its MY rarepair and I decide it's cute if u think about it. BUT ACTUALLY my fav bfdi ship ig is uhh coinpin i know its basic but its really cute

ii : nickloon obviously because the arc they had is really good and every scene they had had me at the edge my seat

2-

My fav episodes are obvious but its tpot 2 and ii s214. they're well loved for a reason :3

[yonemurishiroku]

do you write on ao3 i see some posts of yours talking about writing and you’re one of the most true nico di angelo bloggers i’ve seen but cannot find out if you actually have one or not 😵��💫😵‍💫 if not, who are some of your fav authors (i’m starved for good content of nico)

I do write on AO3! You can find my posted works here: YonemuriShiroku. (Yes I use same account name for every media i have sue me)

FYI my work collection consists of multiple ships/pairings that mostly revolve around Nico, including rarepairs. At the moment, I'm currently investing in the Hold me like we're going home series, which is a (mostly) platonic collection about basically Nico living in the Underworld and interacting with Cthonian deities.

As for my fav authors, whilst I do have my collection of writers to whom I look up and admire a whole lot, I think we should settle with a few whose stuff I consider is quite universal. Imma do this in pairings for easier following.

- buoyantsaturn is currently my main source of Solangelo fanfic content. Their work collection is an astonishing museum of PJO fanfics and I'm not even joking.

- kingburu is an excellent Jasico analyzer whose character study never ceases to astound me. Extensive world-building with the dedication of a thirty-chapter long-fic. I could never.

- lacaritademalfoy writes (Spanish) Percico and is one of the rare AO3 users I follow. They have tooth-rotting domestic Percico content and I don't know why but I'm hooked on that shit. Also there's mpreg (that's probably why...) Srsly I check their updates every day. no shit.

- betsib who writes unapologetically, ranging from Percico to Solangelo to Jasico and I love them wholeheartedly for that.

Above are the AO3 writers whose works are good, many, and pretty tame IMO. So I think if you're asking for recommendations, these would be good choices.

Ofc, there are many more writers whose exotic writing has captivated me, whose names I want to carve into stones, and whose praises I want to shout to the sky. There are many whom I love dearly simply because they have stuck with me in this hellsite of a fandom, and/or share my unhinged unfathomable perspective that no one else could (Love you my moots). But I digress. lol.

Hope you have fun reading!!

[222ems]

correct dndads ship names by me, the masterlist

(im only talking somewhat common ships here with pcs cos im lazy. reply or repost with a ship and ill tell you the correct name for them)

(this is all in my opinion please take none of this seriously i just wanted to infodump)

*s1*

henry / darryl = oakson OR forest school (ok that’s just my personal favourite name for them i have reasons)

henry / glenn = glennry OR campfire songs OR guitar hero

daryll / glenn = closeson OR soccer chant (why are these two so hard to come up with a name for)

henry / glenn / daryll = polydads (they’re the true polydads in my heart)

ron / samantha = they don’t need a name. they just ARE.

nick / lark = nark (can also be spelt narc. that’s acceptable and hilarious)

grant / yeet = number 1 victory royale (PLEASE LET ME HAVE THIS)

*s2*

scary / link = gothcleats OR slinky OR soccer date

link / taylor = swift-li

norm / hermie = oakworthy

norm / link / taylor / scary (optionally: / herm) (this can be done in any combination of ships so long as it forma a polycule) = polywagon (I’M STILL TRYING TO MAKE POLYWAGON HAPPEN)

my new fav ship as of ep31 : scary / herm = misfits OR marworthy (i need rarepairs i’m fuelled by them)

[half-as-big-as-life]

What was your favorite thing about Blood and Gold? And what thing, if any, would you change about it?

Ok so. Fav thing is tied. Either thorne fucking exploding santino with his mind (funny as hell and out of NOWHERE) and being like "i dont need any thanks" OR marius's various weeping scenes. In a good way. Im putting him in one of armands blenders (affectionate)

Something id change? I think itd be fun to see more of marius' interactions w mael, or, and this is fully a personal wish, if hed talked a bit about actually painting. Like if anne had gone on a tangent about 1400s painting techniques and even stuff BEFORE THAT i think it wouldve been very cool. But alas

And it all made me crave marius x thorne which has like 5 fics on ao3 so that is also something. Why must i keep falling into rarepair ships. Just looked it up actually. My mistake, 7 whole fics

[retiredficwriter]

me? being tagged by @jetsteelyourheart ?? what an honor!

just like the top 5 favorite characters: Make a poll with 5 of your favorite rarepairs/crackships. See which one is everyone's favorite!

i became too invested in this. some of these ships i haven't thought in years, so it was nice to relive the times i was obsessed with them. i narrowed it to one ship per media/fandom and just like my tag-buddy, I'll provide my questionable reasons/propaganda.

REASONS/PROPAGANDA

Sydney Sage/Trey Juarez:

so when i was first reading bloodlines, i read online that sydney gets a human boyfriend in book 2. i had heard about brayden but never in the context of HIM being the boyfriend, so i thought he was the random dude in book 1 (wasn't he, unironically, called hayden??) who asked sydney out. i was theorizing who that boyfriend would be until my brain went: "omg.... IS IT TREY??" and got soo hyped. i loved their interaction in book 1 and thought exploring them in a romantic setting would be so interesting, especially with the implication of trey having a major role. they are so similar (growing up in a cult, daddy issues, both being smart) and yet, trey has some adrian-like traits?? charming, popular in the dating pool, laidback... and it would create some tension between sydrian??? imagine adrian watching trey and sydney date and feeling discouraged because she found a human "version" of him?? and with trey being a warrior, he would try to get sydney to have the alchemist side with them and push the "moroi are evil" narrative, creating more doubts for sydney to rebel! BUT THEN SYDNEY HELPS TREY REBEL AGAINST THE WARRIORS!!

i love their friendship as is, and know for a fact they wouldn't last that long but man... i would have eat up their failed romance.

bonus point for an adrian/sydney/trey polycule

Rachel Berry/Sam Evans:

ah yes. my first ever rarepair. since that one episode in season 2 where she and finn helped sam with his young siblings, i fell in love with them. if you were in the glee fandom, you know every single couple was problematic one way or the other (this is the writers' fault). yet somehow, every relationship sam was in, it was the healthiest the woman he was with ever had. and i wanted that for rachel! i ate all the crumbs this show gave me, which were... almost nonexistent. the big difference between this rarepair and the others on this poll is that, in the show's final season, THEY BECAME CANON. I WAS SO HAPPY. they were very unpopular because it came out of nowhere and the writers only put them together to give rachel a love interest for the final season (and give the storyline they planned for finn to someone else), which... fair. but he was so caring, encouraging her to follow her dreams and telling her the tough truth about things she didn't want to hear. it was so good to see rachel heal from finn and her failed broadway dreams while with sam. (also she was less insufferable with him).

but then, ha... they broke up on the third to last episode of the series. so she could be with jesse who showed up out of nowhere on that same episode, after he "left" 4-3 seasons ago. don't get me wrong - i love st. berry! jonathan groff and lea michelle have chemistry! love ambitious broadway wannabes being a power couple! but why not, i don't know, put the storyline she had with sam with jesse instead so it could be more organic and avoid crushing my dreams???

i'm fine. not bitter at all. I'M FINE. I'M F-

Clarisse La Rue/Silena Beauregard (PJO):

this isn't a rarepair compared to the previous two, but within the pjo fandom, it isn't as popular (surprisingly?? at least in ao3. i'm so out of the loop). first time reading pjo, little old only thought of clarisse and silena as best friends. but as i got older and read more fan analysis of the series, i realized the tragedy of these two. either 1) clarisse had an unrequited crush 2) they dated and didn't work out 3) it was a failed situationship. the daughter of ares, the girl people in camp-half blood are so scared of because she is mean to everyone and can (and will) beat the shit out of them, had a wholesome friendship with the daughter of aphrodite, and one of the nicest people in the camp?? and this friendship appeared because silena helped clarisse with her "boy problems"??? and then clarisse basically protected and comforted silena after what happened with charlie?? no spoilers for those who haven't read the books, but they parallel a famous greek mythology couple and their ending hurts. still love silena/charlie, but god... poor clarisse...

can't wait to keep rereading the books and suffer once i get to their part!

Gary "Eggsy" Unwin/Roxy Morton (Kingsman)

everyone prefers hartwin and merlin/eggsy, but i can't help but love mortwin. i watched the first movie and loved their small moments. loved how they bonded over being the underdogs in the competition and, instead of becoming sworn enemies, they recognized each other as worthy opponents. their small fun, friendly-rivarly banter was cute. part of me was relieved they stayed as friends in the end... but i couldn't help but be soo disappointed. the chemistry? it was there!! even taron egerton said there was potential to explore a romance if given the chance! plus, i'm a sucker for well-developed friends-to-lovers.

never watched the sequel but after reading what the writers did to roxy, i'm glad i didn't and never will. i can now create my own sequel in my head and read fanfics of the story they deserve 😌

Bella Swan/Leah Clearwater (Twilight):

i want to thank this one brazilian fanfic i found years ago (and never wrote down the name and lost it 😔) for presenting me with this ship. everyone talks about bella/alice, bella/rosalie, bella/carlisle... but what about bella/leah??? think new moon, when bella has just been abandoned by edward, meeting the werewolves through jacob and therefore leah, who is still dealing with the whole paul/emily thing. they can still start out with leah hating bella but they can bond over being abandoned by their boyfriends and heal from it, and in the end realize they don't need them anymore - they can have each other!

i also love if edward still comes back and bella is conflicted, and it's a edward/bella/leah love triangle (apparently people ship edward/leah and how i never heard of it?! imagine the drama!!) i will take anything where jacob isn't involved

tagging @morocorra @forcebookish @artianaiolanthe @sydneysageivashkov + anyone who wants to do this!
