#fable non canon ship bracket

[ya-boi-haru]

Kaleidoscope made it to the finale, so here's my propaganda speech...

Kaleidoscope (or M&M) has never canonically interacted, nor is it possible for them to do so.

But that's what's so great about it, the fandom has taken one look at these two blorbos and went, "Yeah, they could be a thing" and made these beautiful headcannons and fanon things for them to be together.

Kaleidoscope lives purely off of non-canon ideas and stretched/ignored canon and in the end, isn't that what "non-canon" shipping is really about? Finding two little guys that could never be together and saying, yes they could?

What makes Kaleidoscope more impressive is that, unlike the other ships, we have no idea of their dynamics and interactions. With canon ships you can see how they interact and build off of that, Kaleidoscope is - once again - built off of the fans ideas, theories and headcannons.

Their story/trope dynamic is also hella cute. An artist who can create anything they want × A "demi-god" who can't control the colours/structures they create.

A person who is from a dull one coloured town × A God who can use any colour anywhere

Sarcastic & sassy × Kind & modest

Some fanon things that are also hella cute for them:

Communicating through colours and textures, Malitae not being mad about the Wack - and even growing to appreciate it, artist buddies, Malitae sort-of knowing Midas (post-finale) as they would remember Quixis (Mixis,), Showing each other things from their worlds...

Also their ship name is super cute!? And explosion of shapes and colours, it's literally them! And they even have a second ship name, (M&M) they're little colourful, chocolate lollies! What's not to love!?

They are super cute and deserve to be happy together

Vote Kaleidoscope!

Shoutout to the person who ran the non canon ship bracket account you did so good u deserve the most appreciation

[tricerotopicpt2]

I'm losing my shit over the cast absolutely duking it out and fighting for their lives over QPR prison duo vs wet birds

Literally all bribes are being placed. Fanfic, song snippets, art pieces, ven losing his mind

What is this fandom

[iforgotwhaticalledthis]

im a kaleidoscope girlie but also these two are cute lowkey

[d1sc0-1nfern0]

I'll say it. I'll be brave. I'm team prison duo. These idiots have my whole heart. I went from not shipping them and literally just writing Idiot Bird for a mutual and now I'd kill for them.

[sammy-xxm]

When I tell you- I loved both of the ships sm that I literally was gonna ponder over it forever and then realized I had 20 minutes to vote-

I picked the silly lil god(?) lads- but I was very happy with either outcome

PRISON DUO RAHHHH

[burnt-outtransgender]

If Kaleidoscope wins I will write Epros as the most awkward third wheel in my fic, I swear.

[fablesanddreams]

Y'all the time has come-

The polls are in their final matchup-

Chat, you know what that means...

VOTE PRISON DUO LET ONE SHERBERT VERSION {Icarus} HAVE BITCHES

[jvstbrokenglass]

going to throw my bribes out there for the final poll:

if kaleidoscope wins, i will make a gay little animation for them from the song "How do you talk to a star" (by everybody's worried about owen)

if prison duo wins, i will... uh, cry maybe? /neg /j

[ya-boi-haru]

Rina and David confirming/hinting their relationship was the ultimate propaganda...

Well played, Prison Duo, well played /j

[gb6474]

I probably won't be here for the end of the bracket but I'm cheering prison duo on.

[potatoesmoomaddie]

IN MY OPINION KALEIDOSCOPE SHOULD WIN THE WHOLE BRACKET BECAUSE THEY ARE COLOURFUL GAY AND LIL GUYS WHO ARE SAD AND NEED TO BE GAY TOGETHER FOREVER

[the-sunshine-dims]

VOTE KALEIDOSCOPE!! okay with roughly a day left I'm going to get into my propaganda for the ship

i adore Ariboo and i do think it is really important, however it is canon, even if only in the epilogue, and i love that for them!!! its wonderful!! but its the non-canon ship bracket

kaleidoscope though, kaleidoscope is a non-canon ship, no way around it, they would never be canon, and that's why i think its important too, kaleidoscope is the fandom's ship, there were so many hands into creating it and naming it and figuring out their dynamic, and because it is so non-canon, it gives us so much creative freedom, yes they have never met before, and that is the whole thing

they were created purely for the bit and then because we loved them and it gave us so much creative freedom that got a lot of really engaged in it and the fandom space in general!! and it brought us closer together, because we as a fandom realized that these two characters who could never meet, would've been good for each other, would've had shared experiences, and where there wasn't any, there would still be care,

we as a fandom stumbled into a ship and then created it and shaped it with our own hands,

I've seen a lot of 'the canon lesbians vs the two who have never met easy choice' in the propaganda and i get it, /lh, however i think that needs to be put in context of the bracket, if it was just a fable ship bracket, no other premises, that would be fair, however again- its supposed to be non-canon, supposed to be for the ships who either couldn't be canon because of story reasons, or just straight up would never be, and who we thought would be cute or funny anyways, so it just straight up doesn't make sense to use Ariboo's canonicity as a win-all be-all, that's not the point

this bracket is for the ships that we've loved, the ones we've thought the idea of was fun and engaging and who we thought should kiss, but wouldn't or would never put a label on the aforementioned kissing.

so, with that in mind,

vote for kaleidoscope! the fandom's ship!

we made it with our own hands!

Round 4 Match 1

Kaleidoscope - Midas and Malitae (romantic relationship)

Ariboo - Arisanna and Momboo(romantic relationship)

Propaganda under the cut

Propaganda:

-Kaleidoscope (r):

Cute rainbow gods!! Malitae creates, Quixis changes <3. They do art together.

uh. quixis deserves to kiss someone. they deserve to be so so soft and maybe hold hands and perhaps kiss. also because kaleidoscope is an *amazing* ship name and I hold it so gently

Quixis deserves a happy relationship and Malitae can give that. also i want them to make fun of icarus together.

they are shapes and colors !!!! the way they perfectly fit together, Quixis's wack and Malitae seeing that itself as art and thinking its fun, doing art together !!! the way they are both isolated, Quixis by a dimension, and Malitae by a hidden-away island, and they can act as a comfort to eachother !! Q can be amazed by M's art, and all of their creations, and M can listen to Q, they can just exist, and they can do it together in a world that may be falling apart, but they can laugh !! they can make each other laugh!!

-Ariboo(r)

lets go lesbians! lets go lesbians!

Sun and moon yuri

THEY ARE THE SUN!! AND THE MOON!! the book club romance of it all, the Ari finding Momboo's presense comforting of it all, and Momboo the same, and the idea that had vexed Ari visited, Momboo would've probably just been happy to see her again, even if she was different, and snarky in a way that she wasnt before. they are doomed yuri!!

[mcytblrconfessions]

Sure fable smp might not be as a big a fandom as other smps but has any other smp had one of the ccs reveal that they were dating two other members of the cast by reblogging the results of a non canon ship bracket blog where the winner was the character they played and a character played by one of the people they literally just announced they were dating. huh? has it? bc that just fucking happened to us.

[burnt-outtransgender]

Vote Kaleidoscope!!!

I will write more fics about them if they win, this is a bribe.
