My top 5 Crackships

Inspired by my top 5 8 characters thing going around, I want you all to vote on your favorite of my Top 5 Questionable Rare pairs

I will be providing excuses reasoning excuses below the poll, so if you feel like roasting me properly seeing my justifications, do that - or don't!

And remember, they're fictional characters, so it costs nothing to be normal about this and have fun

*Not all of these are controversial, but those that are? watch out!

Excuses:

Zuki:

If you follow me then you know I'm an OG Zutara fan, but on the rare occasions I'm feeling Cannon Compliant, Zuki is my go too ship. This has all to do with the comics, where basically Zuko's only confidant is Suki and you get wild panels of them looking at each other like this:

I was devistated when Korra came out and it seemed like Sokka and Suki didn't last, but if the above is why, then I'll take it.

Stobin:

I am going to get so much flack for this one I think. BUT. Consider: The cannon ships in the show are generally not well written. I like Hopper/Joyce, I like Max/Lucas, but Nancy/Jonathan and especially Mike/Eleven do literally nothing for me, they are so bland. I do see the irony that one of the things that makes Stobin well written is because its one sided on Steve's part because Robin is gay. But their interactions are literally the reason to watch the show if you ask me. Pushing past these excuses though, I just kinda dig the ship. In my head its an open poly situation for certain, but sexuality is so wild and fluid and weird, and Gold Star status is gatekeepy at best anyway, so like, why the fuck not. I had a great aunt who had an open marriage with a gay man, (big beard behavior) and they had kids and did everything together. Its like... Platonic soulmates + if you will. And that's what I want for Stobin. Platonic soulmates + and a big ole polycule surrounding them. Or maybe its just my incoherent bisexual ass talking

(If I could put fan-art with the polycule in it I would but I wouldn't repost someones art like that... so I'm stuck with cannon images)

Zacknei:

No one has played this game. When people think Zack, they either ship Cloud or Aerith, and honestly I ship both those as well (though ClAerTi will always be my top for them). But I love Cissnei. She has big Sydney Sage energy for me, and all of Zack's emotional beats in the second half of the game surround her (...or cloud) not Aerith (just for the record). Also if you join all the fanclubs and work hard you get invited to your own fanclub and I'm pretty sure there's evidence that Cissnei is the president which is hilarious. I just love their interactions and was DEVASTATED at the end. Analytical Girl & PuppyDogHimbo is a beautiful ship dynamic. Also Rick Gomez will always be my Zack Fair VA. I hate the new guy so much (and its not his fault!! Sorry man!)

Aquarella:

So the section is really short. But my god. Cinderella and Aqua have the most chemistry of any character in that game series bar none. I'm including Riku and Sora in this. I'm including Roxas and Axel. Ok, not really this is not the hill I want to die on. BUT. At least in Birth By Sleep, this is the emotional high-point. Aqua taking her hand like a gentleman at a ball? The way Aqua saves Cinderella from getting run over by her demonic carriage??? The way she lovingly protects Cindy's body with hers? Did you see Prince whats his face doing any of that ? NO. And then. If Aqua were a guy everyone would've seen it when this game came out (but I guess gay people weren't invented until 2015 or whatever.

look how devastated Aqua is when Cinderella goes to Charming at the end. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEM.

Sorayla:

I really do like Raylum, but this is a poll on my hot take rare-pairs, not cannon compliance. Let me start off by saying, no, I haven't seen this season yet, it only came out twelve hours ago whats wrong with you? This pair grew on me starting in Season 4 after the time skip. I think it goes along side my preoccupation with tough smart girls and their dumbass golden retriever himbos. They have a nice trajectory, and with Callum going a lil dark and edgy on us recently, I like their banter a lot. Especially in Season 4 I was surprised by them and I crave more adventures with the two of them alone. I don't think it will ever happen, but I like it none the less. They bring a certain... Sokka & Suki vibe to the party that I'm here for.

Anyway, I tag @ebbilayart @retiredficwriter & anyone who decides to do it!

And if no one feels like setting themselves up as a target, that's good too!

[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!

There are a lot that I am very happy to do crossovers with, and such, so just feel free to come say hi, and we can discuss :D

[moonlighteds]

                   hi  guys  !  i’m  sage  (  twenty  five  ,  she  /  they  ,  est  )  and  i’m  so  excited  to  be  here  !  as  far  as  my  pronouns  go  ,  please  feel  free  to  use  either  ;  if  you  only  want  to  use  one  exclusively  or  use  both  interchangeably  ,  i’m  perfectly  okay  with  either  choice  .  i’m  super  excited  to  introduce  you  all  to  hana  ,  a  relatively  new  muse  of  mine  but  a  little  mix  of  muses  i  wanted  to  write  in  the  past  !  super  excited  to  have  filled  such  a  Messy™  wanted  connection  ,  and  i  can’t  wait  to  plot  with  everyone  !  🤍

(  —  )  ★  spotted  !!  HANA  YUN  on  the  cover  of  this  week’s  most  recent  tabloid  !  many  say  that  the  TWENTY  SIX  year  old  looks  like  PARK  CHAEYOUNG  ,  but  i  don’t  really  see  it  .  while  the  SOCIALITE  &  HEIRESS  is  known  for  being  SPELLBINDING  my  inside  sources  say  that  they  have  a  tendency  to  be  VITRIOLIC  i  swear  ,  every  time  i  think  of  them ,  i  hear  the  song  CONCEITED  BY  FLO  MILLI  .  

biography.

               the  yun  family  is  everything  that  everyone  else  wants  to  be  .  prim  and  proper  ,  poised  and  perfect  .  rich  beyond  their  means  with  a  current  net  worth  of  seven  billion  dollars  ,  there’s  nothing  that  this  family  lacks  .  yun  hana’s  father  is  her  grandparents’  only  son  ,  who  passed  away  after  a  short  losing  battle  with  pneumonia  .  her  mother  ,  a  woman  that  her  father  planned  to  propose  to  before  his  death  ,  ran  off  only  a  month  after  she  was  born  and  immediately  married  a  man  living  in  canada  .  hana  was  adopted  by  her  grandparents  ,  and  has  seen  them  as  her  parents  ever  since  .

               the  yun  household  is  a  household  where  power  equaled  money  and  money  equaled  fame  .  their  massive  and  untouchable  net  worth  stems  from  owning  stocks  in  various  korean  businesses  (  most  notably  ,  samsung  )  ,  owning  a  number  of  office  buildings  within  gangnam - gu  ,  owning  three  properties  in  pyeongchang  ,  and  five  luxury  apartment  buildings  in  yongsan  .  they  bought  ,  flipped  ,  and  sold  various  properties  in  new  york  as  well  .  

              they  settled  in  los  angeles  when  hana  was  thirteen  ,  and  she  attended  the  best  schools  that  money  could  buy  .  she  made  her  grandparents  happy  by  bringing  home  the  highest  grades  in  her  class  .  was  a  naturally  gifted  student  academically  ,  socially  ,  and  athletically  .  oft  was  the  subject  of  rumors  and  scandals  ,  most  notably  alleged  to  have  hooked  up  with  with  the  quarterback  of  the  rival  school  with  pictures  hidden  away  somewhere  in  her  luxurious  bedroom  .  she  was  also  known  for  her  flamboyant  nature  when  interacting  with  those  of  the  same  and  opposite  sex  .

               graduated  from  her  high  school  as  valedictorian  ,  prom  queen  ,  and  with  a  reputation  that  needed  no  introduction  .  not  afraid  to  confront  those  who  start  rumors  about  her  ,  but  has  a  tendency  of  starting  rumors  to  manipulate  fate  into  her  favor  .  she  begins  to  vacation  all  over  the  world  to  flaunt  her  wealth  ,  but  will  forever  call  sydney  home  .  promptly  makes  a  living  by  sitting  on  her  ass  and  being  seen  ,  rising  in  the  ranks  of  socialites  in  the  city  with  clear  ease  .  has  a  sped  up  graduation  from  barnard  college  due  in  part  to  doubling  down  with  classes  ,  and  has  a  degree  in  gender  and  sexuality  studies  .

               returned  to  los  angeles  with  a  higher  social  standing  ,  having  become  known  for  her  beauty  and  for  her  graduation  pictures  going  viral  .  oft  the  subject  of  debate  in  terms  of  wondering  if  she’s  gotten  plastic  surgery  or  not  ,  but  has  a  love  for  trolling  comments  she  receives  on  instagram  .

headcanons.

hana  is  well  known  for  her  long  hair  ,  which  she  dyed  blonde  when  she  was  twenty  .  she  has  kept  her  hair  primarily  blonde  ,  but  she  will  sometimes  dye  it  pink  or  lilac  (  click  colors  for  visuals  )  .  her  hair  is  kept  at  tailbone  length  .

she  has  always  been  the  type  who  was  able  to  hide  her  emotions  well  .  this  isn’t  to  say  that  she  won’t  let  someone  in  if  they  ask  if  she’s  okay  ,  but  she  doesn’t  readily  show  if  she  is  or  isn’t  .  

since  she’s  from  sydney  ,  hana’s  accent  isn’t  as  thick  as  it  once  was  .  she’s  been  living  in  the  us  since  she  was  thirteen  ,  so  the  accent  has  faded  a  little  bit  over  time  ,  but  it’s  still  very  prominent  .  

hana  lives  comfortably  in  the  hollywood  hills  .  she  lives  in  one  of  the  many  homes  that  her  grandparents  have  purchased  over  the  years  ,  and  she  has  a  number  of  staff  waiting  on  her  at  any  given  time  .  i  love  useless  details  ,  so  she  drives  an  electric  2023  porsche  taycan  .

personality  wise  ,  she’s  known  as  someone  who’s  able  to  get  what  she  wants  with  the  point  of  a  finger  and  the  bat  of  a  lash  .  has  a  strong  interest  in  people  as  a  whole  regardless  of  their  identifying  gender  .  she’s  a  jealous  person  ,  and  doesn’t  like  when  someone’s  she’s  interested  in  flirts  with  someone  else  even  if  they  haven’t  reached  that  level  of  exclusivity  .

she’s  more  than  likely  the  one  who  burns  bridges  with  former  friends  ,  but  somehow  always  has  a  reason  for  doing  so  .  dislikes  being  told  what  to  do  and  hasn’t  shaken  the  desire  for  confrontation  .  expect  twitter  fingers  ,  but  receipts  .  expect  shade  ,  but  it’s  straight  to  your  face  .  known  for  her  resting  bitch  face  which  is  not  a  facade  to  who  she  really  is  .

following  the  drop  of  the  sex  tape  ,  hana  went  radio  silent  on  all  of  her  socials  ,  so  it’s  not  a  shock  that  it  was  believed  that  she  leaked  the  tape  because  she  was  angry  .  she  hadn’t  leaked  the  tape  ,  but  she  was  instead  trying  to  figure  out  if  what  the  media  had  been  saying  was  true  .  publicly  humiliated  and  completely  embarrassed  by  the  situation  ,  hana  quickly  boarded  her  family’s  private  jet  and  went  to  stay  with  her  parents  in  seoul  .

she  returned  after  a  couple  of  weeks  ,  and  she  saw  a  rise  in  her  already  high  social  standing  since  the  public  was  rather  sympathetic  towards  her  .  not  everyone  liked  her  afterward  because  they  assumed  she  leaked  the  tape  /  was  looking  for  publicity  ,  but  she  was  deeply  affected  by  the  tape  and  betrayal  .  

career.

hana  is  every  inch  a  nepotism  baby  turned  socialite  turned  influencer  ,  but  she’s  not  annoying  about  it  .  most  things  about  her  life  is  relatively  private  especially  considering  that  her  grandparents  live  worlds  away  in  south  korea  and  are  primarily  in  the  media  for  their  business  ventures  and  not  their  private  lives  .  

her  parents  were  initially  against  her  living  such  a  public  life  ,  but  once  brands  deals  began  coming  through  for  her  ,  their  minds  changed  .  hana  has  a  number  of  brand  deals  and  magazine  covers  under  her  belt  ,  but  she  is  not  considered  a  model  .

she  has  done  a  collaboration  with  the  meditation  /  sleep  app  calm  titled  ‘  grounded  with  hana  ’  .

was  selected  as  model  for  korean  retail  store  homeplus’  25th  anniversary  .

the  current  global  ambassador  for  yves  saint  laurent  and  was  chosen  as  the  muse  for  yves  saint  laurent  beauté  .  she  represented  the  brand  when  she  attended  the  2021  met  gala  for  the  first  time  .

the  current  global  ambassador  for  tiffany  &  co.  ,  and  later  became  the  fact  of  tiffany  hardwear  .

hana  has  modeled  for  a  number  of  magazines  such  as  elle  korea  ,  dazed  korea  ,  w  korea  ,  vogue  australia  ,  rolling  stone  ,  vogue  korea  ,  cosmopolitan  ,  dazed  china  ,  and  many  others  .

[tbraithwaitefilmfestivals2022]

research notes on: Enthusiastic amateurs: Australia's film societies and the birth of audience-driven film festivals in post-war Melbourne by Kirsten Stevens

film festivals were a purely European phenomenon during this period’ (de Valck 2007, 49) (PAGE 23)

De Valck, Marjike. 2007. Film Festivals: From European Geopolitics to Global Cinephilia. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press. 

Film festivals emerged in the post-war decades for different reasons and as a result of diverse local and international pressures. 

“The early European festival tapped into the particular interactions of pre and post-second world war geopolitics that utilised the exhibition of national culture at international forums as a means of establishing the strength of nations and they national identities. (Harboured 2002, 64; de Vlack 2007) (PAGE 23) 

Harbord, Janet. 2002. Film Cultures. London. Sage. 

These events were sprung about by the desire to replicate the template set by the early geopolitically motivated European events but rather they rather they responded to the needs and conditions of their local environments. (PAGE 23)

TRANSLATION: The Melbourne film festival launching in a small town in 1952 was their way of showing films that weren’t likely to be seen at local cinemas, but also as an example of the type of stuff their country needed, comparing their environment and Europe’s. 

In this article they are basing their belief off of the idea of the “inherent Euro-centrality of early film festivals”.(PAGE 24) Using de Valck (2007), and her three historical phases off international film development.

“It reveals the inherently local conditions that instigated MFF’s development and conditioned its operation.” (PAGE 24)

Chapter called “The Road to Olinda”

The society movement in Australia was fuelled by a demand for films of a different nature; explicitly these films produced outside of the hollywood studio system. (PAGE 25)

The societies responded to a growing interest in Australia of viewing film as an art form and sought to reposition the movies away from their categorisation as leisure activitiy, conspiring instead to activate an engaged film culture that existed outside the parameters of mass entertainment (PAGE 25)

In the words of Gerry Harant, early society member and later technical adviser to MFF, the societies marked ‘a protest movement against the domination of Australian screens by the Hollywood product and against the misuse of what we perceived as a valuable medium’ (2001, 93)

Harant, Gerry. 2001. ‘Melbourne Film Festival, 1952–2001’ Overland 164: 92–96.

“The perceived “misuse” of the filmic medium by commercial cinema lies at the heart of the Australian film society movement” (PAGE 25)

“The societies viewed cinema as an important social and historical artefact, considering it both an art form as well as a means of facilitating international understanding and social change” (PAGE 25)

“The society movement sough to engender the reception of cinema through a critically engaged and culturally legitimised framework of film appreciation” (PAGE 26)

“The society thus also took on the role of custodians for a new and engaged film culture” (PAGE 26)

Through the screening of films of social and formal consequence, broadly identified as documentaries, scientific and educational film, as well as left-wing cinema and European narrative cinema (Hodsdon 2001, 62–63), the societies sought to provide epistemological access to cinema as an artistic endeavour of social and moral significance

“Not only would the anti-hollywoods focus be maintained by the Melbourne even, but Olinda’s emphasis on short films, documentaries and quality international (primarily European0 features, as well as its overt promotion of a society-based film culture, would characterise MFF for decades to come” (PAGE 28)

“Australia was geographically, culturally and cinematically remote from what was occurring in the rest of the world during the 1950’s (Webber 2005)” 

Webber, Pauline. 2005. History of Sydney film festival 1954-1983. Sydney, MA:University of Technology, 2005. 

“Demonstrate the importance of considering global film festival development as the combined expression go local as well as international pressured, rather than a single movement characterised by the quality of its most visible parts.” (PAGE 30)

The European festivals were charcterised by their political allegiances and their top-down organisational structures. With their activities heavily dedicated to government agendas the became more focused on the pursuit of national rather than cinematic concerns. (PAGE 31)

“The focus of festivals became the self-presentation of nationhood” (page 31)

Hodsdon, J. Barrett. 2001. Straight Roads and Crossed Lines: The Quest for Film Culture in Australia from the 1960s? Shenton Park, WA: Bernt Porridge Group.

While the lack of external funding meant that the festival lacked the glamour and polish of contemporaneous international events, it also meant that the festival was freed from the demands of industry and national politics, allowing it to focus proceedings squarely on the appreciation of cinema as it existed outside of the commercial Hollywood sphere- their own funding meant that they were free to do as they wished without any added pressure from government systems. 

Included within the offerings were documentaries produced by the Australian Army, examples of the European Avant Garde,

The festival’s opposition to notions of industry, as the binary other of culture, and its focus on screening those films ignored by commercial exhibitors provided the unifying thread to the event’s programme (Hope and Dickerson 2006).

Hope, Cathy, and Adam, Dickerson. 2006. ‘“Films for the Intelligent Layman”: The Origins of the Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals (1952–1958)’. Screening the Past, 19.
