#personally i see it as a fun little crackship

[itslilacokay]

MORE THE ONE and the [selected] CONTENT LETS GO CHAT

THE ONE... (Animators Vs Games)

WHO is this guy?!?!?

The AvM/AvA community was wondering about a month ago. Yeah... I'm pretty late to this as you can see, I had some stuff to do but I have been wanting to post about this for a bit, so here we go!

This guy has been nicknamed "The one" by the animation vs animator fandom. (Yes.. the spacing is on purpose xD) This is because he looks like a knockoff of TCO, which is pretty funny to be honest. He has generated lots of fan art, and even ships? (We'll talk about this later)

I see this guy of a placeholder, kind of. Basically sometimes he appears in the AvG thumbnails as a representation of the game. BUT there is this one instance when he is FLYING IN THE AIR WITH FLAMES which might actually be him cosplaying as TCO. We don't know. This guy is very mysterious

For example, here's a stick figure from a thumbnail where they played omori, it's probably just Sunny in a stick figure form, but we don't know, it might be THE ONE (still probably not but maybe they hired him or something for this thumbnail, we don't know)

And here's something of him getting shocked from a stream thumbnail.. oof

AND HERE'S SOMETHING STATING THAT HE IS MYSTEERRIOUSS

Who's that stick figure? It's THE ONE

But wait.. We have another mysterious stick figure, a white stick figure called The [Selected]. This stick figure is from the undertale series!

And for some reason, the two mystery stick figures get SHIPPED!??!!? Huh- I understand your craving for new material, but seriously, can't they just be buddies? XD. I actually don't mind though, don't worry to those who do. I have nothing against you all.

Let me know your thoughts about these guys!

Just for fun, here are my rapid fire rambling thoughts on the ATLA ships and platonic dynamics hehe (please don’t go full ship wars tho - these are just my opinions as a chill multishipper!)

My Favorite Ships:

• Zukka - My current brainrot and main ship!! I know they aren’t canon but I really love them and their potential okay😭I just feel like their personalities would work so well! Sokka would call Zuko on his shit and Zuko would be good at grounding Sokka when he needs it. Plus I have seen some absolutely breathtaking AUs with this ship! And fire-and-ice vibes except gay! Them <3

• Kataang - Cutiessss!! I love them! They may not be the ship I think about most often, but when I do think about them, they’re adorable! Aang is such a “my wife” guy and Katara absolutely adores him back! Also the last airbender x last southern waterbender dynamic goes HARD! I like that these two are canon!

• Yuetara - Listen I know they barely interacted but THEY’VE ACTUALLY GROWN ON ME SO MUCH LATELY AND I VERY HIGH KEY SHIP THEM! Something about like, Katara thinking about Yue when she bends is so😭Their story would be heartbreaking in the best way!! Sapphic noncanon blorbos <3

• Mailee - These two are SO cute and have so much potential rahhh!! Again, love some noncanon sapphics <3

• Batkoda - Super SUPER cute and silly and fun! The dads fr <3 Bato is either Katara and Sokka’s adopted uncle or their stepdad and I love it for them hehe! This usually pairs well with a “Hakoda adopts Zuko” AU lmao!

Other Canon/Relatively Popular Ships:

• Zutara - A good ship! I see the potential and tbh it’s very very fun to think about sometimes!!! However, some of y’all toxic Zutara stans need to leave my boy Aang alone lmao. Those who are chill tho, I rock with y’all!! Overall, I’m not opposed if it’s done well and I do sometimes seek out Zutara content! I personally do prefer writing them as found siblings tho, especially with the Azula and Katara parallels!!

• Sukka - Canon cuties!! I really like them! Suki my BELOVED <3 She’s so underrated!

• Yukka - Also canon cuties! They make me sad tho ahhhhh😭😭😭

• Maiko - Also ALSO canon cuties!! They have an interesting dynamic that I can really appreciate! And gotta love Mai <3

• Jinko - Jin my beloved! These two had a super cute dynamic during the one episode they had together lmaoooo, tho I don’t think about this ship too too often.

• Tokka - I don’t mind it if it’s them getting together as adults! But tbh I personally don’t prefer shipping them as teens and I think Toph’s crush was just a typical young girl crush on someone slightly older lol. Definitely not horrible and most Tokka shippers are relatively chill! I like to think Sokka sees Toph as a little sister tho.

Now For Some Of The Crackship-y/Less Popular Ships (based on ships I’ve actually seen):

• Zukki (Zuko/Sokka/Suki) - Power throuple fr and I love some polyamory!! While I mostly lean plain Zukka, this is extremely fun to think about and would be a great dynamic!

• Mai/Ty Lee/Suki - Saw this in a Zukka fic once and it was adorableeeeee! I may not have plans to actively write this or anything, but it’s cute! Another power throuple!

• Jetko - I don’t think they would be compatible long term, but by god they are very very fun to think about in a “Jet flirts with Zuko and Zuko is completely oblivious and they share one kiss before everything goes to shit” way lmao!

• Taang - I can respect it!! I will always love them as chaos siblings personally, but it’s a totally valid and chill ship!

• Katoph - Not a bad ship at all! I’ve only come across like one post tho lmao. Also I do think I heavily prefer them as found sisters, but that’s just me personally! Again, totally a valid and chill ship!

• Azutara - I’m very neutral on this lmao. I don’t despise it at all and it could be pretty interesting?? But tbh really not something I plan to seek out.

• Azulaang - I mean?? I’m also pretty neutral on this one. Aang would be kind to her if she was trying to get help but…idk lmao.

• Tyzula - I see the potential, but I personally think Mai and Ty Lee had a healthier and more interesting and more realistic dynamic. Just my preference tho!

(I think I just want Azula to be in therapy before I reallyyyyy ship her lmao, but NOT THE KIND OF “THERAPY” SHE WAS GIVEN IN THE COMICS)

• Zukaang - I don’t love this as a ship honestly. The canon age gap as teens is sketchy for my personal taste, tho I’ve seen people ship them in “Aang was 16 when he got frozen” AUs and that’s…better and I can get behind it a little! It would be interesting! But I think Roku being Zuko’s great-grandpa just still throws me off of this ship. I don’t have any beef with the shippers tho! I’m very “live and let live” and I have seen so much worse lol.

Can’t Forget My Fav Platonic Dynamics!

• Sokka and Aang - Two found brothers who share one idiot braincell when they interact LMAO! Love them always <3

• Sokka and Katara - The siblings ever!!

• Zuko and Aang - Enemies to found brothers!! Canon besties! I love their friendship and their parallels SO MUCH!!

• Toph and Katara - Absolutely ADORABLE as found sisters!!!! Love them!

• Zuko and Katara - I really like their development in a platonic sense and I think they’re very very fun and lovely found siblings by the end!!!! Zuko is 100% the brother that just “yeah my sister can and will whoop your ass” LMAO!

• Zuko and Toph - Also very found siblings in my head!! Only have a handful of solo interactions in canon but I DON’T CARE! I WILL FOUND FAMILY THEM ANYWAY! I’m a “Toph seeks out Zuko for sibling hugs/cuddles when she’s cold because he’s basically a space heater” truther.

• Uncle Iroh and the Gaang - Zuko needs to learn to share because that is ALL OF THEIR Uncle!!!

• Hakoda and Zuko - I thrive in this section of the fandom!! They have exactly one (1) frame together in canon, but I ADORE Dadkoda adopting Zuko! Something about it is just so wholesome and cute!!! My very very fav ATLA fics are this trope!!#LetHakodaBitchSlapOzaiAndAdoptZuko2024

• Uncle Iroh and Zuko - God they make me so ALSNDKSNXNCNSNSNXNX, y’know?

• The Gaang as a whole - Obvious I know, but I really do love them😭They all bonded sm and I adore their little family!! I eat up fanart of the Gaang cuddling like CANDY omg. And yes Suki is included in the Gaang because WHY WOULDN’T SHE BE!

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TedTalk. If you made it to the end, you get a big platonic kiss on the forehead MWAH!

Why I am personally ok with Leosagi AND Donsagi :)

// TW: Mention Of Proships/Incest

Ok, I see a lot of people always hating on donsagi ( some call it a ‘crackship’ I believe.) for frankly just not being Leosagi. Saying things like “It doesn’t make since” or “ Leosagi is better”.

Now Personally, I ship Leosagi. But that doesn’t mean I hate on donsagi! Donsagi is quite cute and usually projected as a nice little fluff ship. And I believe you should be able to ship who you want unless it’s not a proship/com ship or incest.

Now, when people say; “ Donsagi doesn’t make since!”. This is very true, the two are from two shows. BUT, it’s not exactly a crackship. Usagi IS part of the TMNT Universe; which is why the leosagi ship is embraced in the tmnt fandom.

Now; if donsagi is seen as a ship that makes no sense, then so should ( rise ) leosagi. Now 2003/1987 leosagi is different, because usagi is part of those iterations and lore. But Usagi is nowhere found in ROTTMNT, so your kinda be hypocritical if you say Donsagi makes no sense, when you still ship ( rise ) Leosagi, Which in sense neither ships make absolute sense.

In all seriousness, you can ship whoever you like, as long as it’s not incest/proship. But please don’t hate on people who ship Donsagi just because you ship leosagi; we are all just having fun!

( This is Not a direct attack, this isn’t intended to hurt your feelings or anything.)

Have a good day!! Hope you enjoyed my little rant lol.

I just watched Fairly Oddparents a new wish, and here are my thoughts.

I love this show. Genuinely, this is my probably my favorite reboot/sequel show that I have ever watched along with Fiona and Cake. It is fantastic and if you have not seen it yet, I recommend you do.

The best way to describe this show is that it feels like someone took the concept of Fairly Oddparents and applied it in modern times, and it works so well. The original show was wackier and full of more hijinks, while this show follows the trend of modern cartoons being more mature, with characters feeling more realistic and human. Yes, there are still plenty of cartoon shenanigans, it is very funny, but it is also so good at writing characters. No longer does it need to rely on over the top cartoony satires. It uses its modern setting and its realism in its favor, blending it with the shenanigans and magic that the show is known for.

I have seen some people say that Peri is the only good thing about the show and I couldn't disagree more. Yes, I do think the show is stronger in its second half, once he appears, however, I think he is alright. To me, the real star is Hazel and her relationship with Cosmo and Wanda as well as her own parents. It is so refreshing to see genuinely good parents trying their best, but who sometimes screw up instead of idiots who treat their child as trash. Dev is also a highlight, he is a very deep character for a show like this. But yes, I love that Hazel feels like a character more mature for her age, because that allows her to have issues that relate not only to kids, but adults too. It is incredibly smart. And those are the best episodes, the ones where things that things that are actually important, like dealing with anxiety (which is explored several times in the show), learning to appreciate your age, and accepting who you are are beautiful.

The first part does have the slight issue of having episodes whose main purpose seem to be introducing new characters to potentially explore them later and very little more, but those are just a couple of episodes and they do learn pretty quickly how to mix character introductions with life lessons. It is an overall brilliant show.

There were some episodes that were a little boring to me- or rather random since they didn't really deal with any characters learning anything truly, but if the writers were having fun with their concept I don't mind.

I think that my real biggest issue was the last episode of the show that felt a little rushed with Dev and Irep just taking over Fairy World like that and then getting it back felt too easy, but I won't complain too much. Having Dev lose Peri after he said he cared about him, the only thing Dev really wanted hurt. It does lead to the issue with fairies, because, for Hazel, losing Cosmo and Wanda will be sad, but she still has loving parents and friends, and even her teachers love her. She will be fine when the time comes. But Dev is in a similar spot as Timmy, where their fairy is all they have. That's their entire family and you will take that away from them, potentially leaving them to end up as Crocker.

I wonder if they will explore that at any point. I have hope. Speaking of exploring, I do hope that we see more of the side characters, like I would love it if Hazel took a step back for a few episodes and let Winn shine (fuck yeah, nb rep), or another one of the kids or even Cosmo and Wanda. I do want to know how they feel about their retirement and their relationship since it is so much better than it was before. They are a genuinely great couple in this show and incredibly funny, too. Their love is contagious.

Now, for ships, because so far I have seen some, uh, let's say interesting ships for this show, and yet, I have not once heard the mention of what is my personal favorite ship (which is technically a crackship but shhh) and that is Peri X Anthony. Anthony is shown to maybe be having relationship issues, and I think Peri is incredibly queercoded, not to mention, I think they would really get along. Also, Anthony is the only adult who can't forget fairies. Here is my fanfic: together, they create a place to help people who lost their fairy godparents and have no one left, much like how Timmy was most likely left when we last saw him. As for what happened to Timmy, I'm honestly not too fussed about him. If they want to bring him back, I hope they do with the intent of developing him further rather than just a cameo. And even then, I think that it would be far more interesting to bring back other characters first, like Trixie or any of the female characters who were done so dirty in the original. But if I had to bring him back, I'd do so by having him be working for AJ as a paranormal investigator. Much like crocker, he never grew past his fairies, but he knows how to mask it better. Deep down, he is trying to fill the hole he fills he still has deep down, which stops him from fully growing. That's just my fanfic, though. For now, all that I ask is more focus on the side characters.

Oh! iirc you mentioned liking Eyja/Ifrit as a ship so... 2 and 4 for them?

YIPPEE Eyjafrit!! the barbecue gang!

2. Why I do or don't ship them.

in this essay I will

alright so, you may know that I am, in fact, rarely into crackships. but what's fun about Eyjafrit is that it might be the number one ship for both characters! I guess it mostly started as a joke and because they seem roughly the same age, barbecue and fire, you know the thing. so far they've interacted like once in canon, and it's in Ifrit's operator record;

it's not much but it's yuri. there's also the implication that they seem to know each other or be close, because Ifrit doesn't know the names of Mint or Beeswax, instead calling them "black ears" or "sand girl",

but she knows Eyjafjalla, which is probably one of the hardest names to remember!! and for Ifrit, to remember a name this hard to spell, it means a lot

BUT outside of these little interactions, the reason why I really love them together is because I think they would help each other to shine as a characters

Ifrit is shown as a really dynamic girl, but most of all, as a caring and careful person. Adele pretty much counts as disabled at this point, her ears and eyes getting gradually worse. the idea that Ifrit, who is usually mistaken as impulsive, would be ready to help out and take care of Adele, is extremely cute to me. it would also show how much she had grown up, and how the way Silence and Saria took care of her when she was herself weak influenced her. we also know she takes courses at the medical department, she really wants to help others! and her little silly side would definitely be great to help bring a smile on Adele's face and give her a break from studying and work

on Eyjafjalla's side, the concept of family is equally really important, and that she lost her parents had changed who she is and forced her to "grow up" too fast. I like the idea that having Ifrit would be like a new family to her, especially that I'm sure that Silence and Saria would love to know her (and since Eyjafjalla is a research herself, I'm a hundred percent sure they'd go along!). it can be a really nice family substitute, and help Adele to take less on herself and focus on her happiness

the last dramatic point I really like is how both have really bad case of Oripathy, meaning they probably won't live long. that they decide to spend these last years together, knowing their fate, gives a really sad dimension, but also comfort

also please please look at this fanart it's everything to me

4. How many other characters would see the chimestry of the couple before themselves do.

ooh boy I'm sure that if Silence saw them being close she'd tear up proudly and absolutely support this. Saria would not really notice anything, but Silence got this and would probably tell her that she thinks their precious daughter might have got a crush. on Eyjafjalla's side, she doesn't seem very close to anyone in particular at Rhodes Island, but maybe Earthspirit would notice something!

Finally cleaned this up so here’s my DnDads ultimate ship opinions list. I was waiting until after s2 ended to clean this up in case I had any final opinion changes with the last few episodes. Please don’t bash me for any of these. The DnDads fandom is generally very nice but shipping discourse is something that can get heated no matter the fandom.

Dads

Henry Darryl: very neutral. I understand the ship I just never fully got on the boat

Henry Glenn: absolutely fucking feral about them do not get me started on Glennry

Darryl Glenn: feral in a different way that I don’t know how to describe other than toxic yaoi in the way that they’re damaged but refuse to talk about it so they kiss about it instead

Loveeeeeeee polydads but only as Henry/Glenn/Darryl. Not really a Ron shipper I love him and Samantha too much. Ron and Glenn’s friendship is very important to me though

In terms of Jodie, I don’t really ship him with any of the main dads, ESPECIALLY not Glenn. Even if Jimmy didn’t play Jodie I’d still never ship them. Wish Scamster was real and not completely a scam because they’re literally a crackship become real except it was never a crackship before canon. It’s surprising to me that they weren’t really shipped beforehand

Henry Mercedes: THE T4T OF ALL TIME BABEYYYYY. Absolutely iconic couple, fate was in their favor with how they met they were destined for each other

Darryl Carol: After hearing how Darryl talked about his family in Heaven, I was actually really happy they ended up not getting divorced. They clearly had a rough patch as seen in s1, but they genuinely love each other and I love how devoted to her Darryl is. The little finger puppet he made of her in the time out zone… :,)

Glenn Morgan: GLORGAN!!!!!!!!! Oh my god these two tear me apart. I am feral for Glorgan angst there’s too much to work with. More people need to start calling them Glorgan instead of Morglenn please please please please pretty please indulge me in my silly ship name

Ron Samantha: sobbing. They’re so sweet. The distinction that Samantha is also a little silly is very important to me. They love each other so fucking much

Kiddads

Nicky Sparrow: didn’t realize how much I love them for a good while but when I did oh god I love them so so much. T4T it’s so real to me that they’re both trans

Nicky Lark: used to like it but yall mischaracterize Nicky so much in fics. If yall want toxic yaoi just ship Grant and Lark I’m so serious

Nicky Terry: sobs. They were best friends. I don’t personally ship them but the fact that Terry said he was his best friend… that line rattles around in my brain so often

Nicky Grant: recently learned this might get shipped and has THE coolest ship name. Crossfire I love you but for the ship name alone

Sparrow Terry: I think I’ve seen this shipped a few times but only in the context of Terry/Nicky/Sparrow. Not my personal cup of tea though

Sparrow Grant: I don’t see this shipped too often but they have the worst ship name ever /aff. Wtf is a spant lol. Also I’m too much team transfem Sparrow to feel comfortable shipping this

Lark Terry: do not know the appeal of Gun Control but their ship name is fun

Lark Grant: toxic yaoi central. They both need intense therapy but them both being so fucked up is what makes them interesting not that that’s healthy though

Terry Grant: I see them more in a qpr place than anything romantic. I have one fic of them that’s bookmarked on Safari because I think about a part from it from time to time

Don’t have any poly ships for them

In terms of s2 spouses I so desperately wished we could’ve seen more of them. We barely get to see them

Nicky Cassandra: Telling Taylor his dad was a good man and that she misses him every day makes me think they parted on good terms. But then Nicky disappeared because of FBI shit. In another life maybe they could’ve worked.

Sparrow Rebecca: more ugly sobbing. I’m unsure on my sparroace thoughts if they’d end up getting divorced post-finale but I know they’re not fully separating or breaking up. They really are in love but it’s unconventional and messy.

Terry Veronica: I think the reveal that Terry is infertile is a nice touch to their relationship. It sounds weird to say and I feel like I might word this all weirdly. Him being unable to have bio kids but finding love in someone who wants to raise a kid with him anyways. Veronica finding new love again after a supposedly abusive relationship. Both of those combined is something I really love.

Grant Marco: Canon gays ftw. The Titanic episode was so generous in letting us get to see their dynamic. Obviously Grant still has a long way to go in finding self love but I’m so happy he found someone who can support him and loves him back like this.

Teens

Normal Scary: ugly sobbing over them I love them so much. Cradling my madomagi and tma aus with them as madohomu and jmart

Normal Taylor: yearning for the early s2 days like when they went to Sonic and made some devious plan off screen I wish they had more silly interactions together. Was truly fed with the kareoke intro and them bonding over costume making for a minute. Tayloak could be so interesting if there was more material to work with

Normal Link: Childhood BFFs to Lovers; I wish they could’ve hung out more as kids but all that happened

Normal Hermie: I get the hype but I have personal reasons for feeling neutral on them that I wish I could get over. Good soup though /ref

Scary Taylor: see them too much as a sibling dynamic to ever ship them

Scary Link: respect to all y’all shippers but I do not gothcleats and will leave it at that forever. I can only accept the finale with my transfem Link hc

Scary Hermie: I love Scene Partners. These stupid kids and reflecting each other /aff

Taylor Link: one that I can’t believe I didn’t ship sooner they’re so silly

Link Hermie: I think this one is very funny (/pos) but not my personal vibe

Love love LOVEEEEEEEE Marloakworthy AUGH. A giant triangle of everyone paralleling each other

Polywagon I love you; cannot believe you’re real and genuinely canon. This is just Homestuck again when Hussie said all ships are canon (DnDads never beating the Homestuck allegations from me)

Scary Erica: wish there were more interactions I love Erica so much but alas she’s a guest NPC. “You awaken a lightness in me” sapphic ass Scary I know what you are

[ffverr]

Hey I love Warren and Emma together but removing Monet's position and replacing her with a white woman who isn't really involved with X-Corp in your X-Corp idea is kind of a bad decision when you think about race for more than 5 seconds. But then again this happens in real corporations all the time if you're striving for realism.

I completely agree! That's why Monet is not removed at all!! ( I love her way too much to do that)

I had done a reblog while still brainstorming to talk a bit about Monet and Roberto da Costa's involvement and I am of course acutely aware of the optics.

I'll explain all the lore in much more finalised character profiles, but for the moment:

X-corp is based on a four way, equal shares leadership. So basically, a four person board! Which includes Warren, Monet, Emma and Roberto all on a 25% basis.

I think it's much more fun, accurate and interesting that way! (They're all very experienced, so it makes sense they all get major positions)

They all handle different departments of activities though.

So despite being Co-Co-Co-Co CEOs, they specialise in a specific activity:

Monet is in charge of handling the international aspect of the company. So the different branches all over the world. She coordinates all of that business and travels a LOT abroad to make deals, exchange etc... I think this plays on her strengths as a very well traveled, polyglot who's very good at imposing her vision and handling tough situations.

Roberto is where we go more into headcanons. In canon, Roberto has always been fiercely attached to justice. He's always been big on arguing and standing by his positions! ( Standing up to Xavier since age 13!) + I believe that he would be a bit turned off by his father's greed and quickly get bored of numbers so he would rather handle more strategic and problem solving aspects of the company. Naturally, I believe he became a very successful corporate lawyer! So he's head of the legal affairs section of the company.

Warren is still kind of the face of the company, being the most "famous" of these four. In canon, he has a business mind but I'm looking to orient him a bit more towards a creative direction. So if anything he's handling the creative direction/ administration aspect of the company! Basically: "what else can we do or add to make this better?"

Emma with little explanations needed is handling the finances of the company (in tandem with her very very tired head of accounting Bobby drake)

This all sounds serious, but I promise, this is much more of a gag AU that will be 80% meme redraws and like 20% nice illustrations If I can manage ��️

Like, Warren got intensely obsessed with ecology and has a secret zoo in the basement archives. Emma keeps trying to fraud her way out of expenses and Roberto is STRESSING trying to keep her in line (bobby is also absolutely exasperated by her shenanigans).

Monet is a zoom princess! They go without seeing her three weeks at a time and wonder if she's not taking secret vacations... (She isn't! She's the most hardworking member of the team, she just mixes efforts with pleasure in an efficient way)

The comic cover divide of Warren and Emma and Monet and Roberto is purely based on age basis and potential crackship romantic plots! (I find it very very weird for people to ship Monet and Warren together, and let's be honest, Monet is Roberto's type to a T). And I'd like to add that this quartet all have very fun dynamics together! The potential is endless honestly, this is the "we're better than you and we know it" team. But will they be able to work together? 👀 We'll see!

Obviously, more to come, but as a preview, the extended cast is very interesting! We have Boom Boom, Karma, Kyle Jinadu, Northstar, Iceman, Sage, Windancer, Kwannon, Trinary and Prodigy all doing fun stuff!

P.s, all info about this can be found under the "trans-axion" tag which is the nickname of this au.

“New” crackship idea I had: Ragatha X Stolas

Hi, I’m new here (Tumblr)

So I already shared this idea via this meme in:

Reddit:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Vivziepopmemes/comments/1ctiiui/for_some_reason_at_the_oddest_of_times_my_brain/

And X Twitter: https://x.com/the_viatorem/status/1791246392087994537

It gained little attention and people did seem to like it. 

I got curious as to what Tumb would think of this ship, specially considering that gooseworx and TADC fandom seem to be more active and creative here.

Anyway, I like to think this could work:

Look: Design wise both Stolas and Ragatha are lanky and tall characters (I like to think both are the same height, although Ragatha being taller would be fun) plus the aesthetics of an owl with a rag doll is definitely interesting… also I think they would look oddly adorable together.

Personally: Despite being awkward messes somehow they are the most calm of their respective cast, basically they have to act like everyone’s dad/mom despite being clear they barely know what they are doing and having their own emotional baggage.

Octavia also a plays a role in this ship, I’m pretty sure she would like Ragatha. Either because she’s a giant doll (something little Octavia would love), or because she’s the sort of emotional caring person a teen who’s dealing with their parents aggressive divorce needs. At least I think Ragatha would try to talk with Octavia.

As some pointed out in both Reddit and Twitter Stolas would definitely benefit from having such a caring person as a partner

Gooseworx mentioned in her ask that Ragatha likes horror movies, so maybe she’ll think Stolas being a demon is cool (maybe even sexy? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), not to mention Octavia might like to watch horror movies with her.

As for a ship name, “Stotha” and “Ragalas” sounded weird, best I could come up with was:

“Yarn and feathers” 

(Maybe you guys can think of something better?)

Anyway, I do hope you guys like it, if not at least find the idea interesting. Pls let me know what you think.

As to the overly specific nature of the meme (to much text), as you can see in the Reddit and Twitter links I originally posted the meme the same week I had the idea, so even in its less specific iteration was already time sensitive. 

Also, it wasn’t a few days after I posted the meme that I heard on the news that we were on a heat wave. I was so tired and groggy when I had the idea I didn’t even register the heat XD

[weaverpop]

Shadow hound is definitely a new one too me, and my first thought is their that couple that dated/crushed on the same shit person and ended up together as a result

Glad to see I am spreading my chaotic Crackships 😌

While not exactly that dynamic (Macaque with Wukong and Erlang with Azure) it’s def something most people don’t see coming. Even less then Jing and Azure! At least with Jing and Azure it made sense in hindsight, there were hints, but Macaque and Erlang?!

I know a lot of people vote shadow peach, and I can see why. And in many other aus they would defo be together. However in Lionsword au, Wukong and Macaque would be more like besties with benefits. Too young to understand it really, being monkies and all.

At least until the brotherhood era, at which point Macaque sees erlang and goes “Oh he’d be fun.” Macaque flirted with Erlang endlessly. Unfortunately Erlang was 1; distracted by azure at the time and 2; was increasingly dense. Like, even Jing could see it!

And it just so happens to be Jing who reveals that little tidbit of info as revenge against a certain 6 eared snitch.

My Reverse: 1999 Rarepairs/crackships!

Exactly what it says in the title! I’ve seen a couple other people talk about their favorite rarepairs for r1999, so I thought I’d do it for mine!!

(Technically some of these are just characters I think would interact well, not all of them have to be romantic) (and also not all of them are super duper rare)

An-An Lee x Poltergeist

- I just really like the ghost enthusiast x ghost dynamic in general, this counts for horropedia and An-An Lee with any of the ghost characters tbf

- But An-An Lee and Poltergeist specifically would be cool because of their personalities!!

- Poltergeist is obviously more shy, while An-An Lee seems a bit more outspoken, and I can really see An-An Lee helping Poltergeist help gain confidence!

- Either way, very cute dynamic and I like it a lot!

Tennant x Sweetheart

- Originally, Sweetheart was my main theory for who the other character in Tennants I2 Portrait, along with maybe Mesmer Jr.

- While I definitely don’t think it is anymore, I still like the concept of them having a relationship!

- Tennant would definitely be in it to scam Sweetheart, but I think Sweetheart would at least know some of it due to her being familiar with Hollywood secrets and the drama that goes down there

- If they did become “partners in crime” I think they would legitimately be the best power-couple ever. I just don’t know if there would ever be a scenario where they both show their cards, so I don’t know if they’d ever reach that point sadly.

- Their rich girlboss energy knows no bounds, and together they will be unstoppable

Sweetheart x Bette

- Actor x Stunt double, just another fun concept!! (I saw a similar idea with Blonney and Bette as well, which would also be cool!)

- Sweetheart is sassy and assertive but befriends her innocent stunt double and takes her to Hollywood parties

- Bette is so confused but Sweetheart is her idol so it’s not like she’s going to say no

- It would basically be like the sassy popular girl falls in love with nerd/shy girl trope, Hollywood edition

- I think they would be very cute though!

ONiON x TTT

- The only news station TTT isn’t sick of

- She was actually covered by one of ONiON’s stories, and she’s been a big fan ever since!

- When ONiON meets her, they hit it off immediately!

- Both of them have different brands of eccentric show host vibes and I’m here for it

AliEn T x Sputnik

- The space besties

- Sputnik literally references AliEn T’s lines, what can I say

- Mostly just them lying to each other about exactly what/who they are to hilarious results

Bkornblume x Click

- Sitting as silence as we speak (consider each other their best friends and know each other really well despite this)

- There’s really no other special reason, I just think they’d get along!!

Constantine x Vertin’s Mom

- Not super rare technically

- There is no info on it but it’s both a super interesting and very funny concept

- I saw a post a while ago about the parallels between Madame Z, Constantine, and Vertin’s Mom to Matilda, Sonetto, and Vertin, and it was really cool!

Regulus x X

- Technically this one I like more as a friendship, but I still want to talk about it

- Regulus hung out with X for longer than she did Vertin, there’s no way they aren’t at least somewhat friends

- They’re both sneakily coming up with ideas of pranking people with machines (They were both definitely giggling at the idea of pouring tea on Forget-me-not)

- Silly little goobers, mostly

[lady-of-tearshed]

I agree with all of your points! The longing and pining these two share is what drives the passion! It's that potential that exists between them that I am always intrigued by them. Both Lucien and Elain have gone through so much, to see them both have a HEA that they deserve would be wonderful! Thank you for sharing that with me! My favorite pairing? Ohh, I think all time favorite is Elucien. They're so different from all the other mated pairs we've seen, they have so much potential and their avoidance only makes me ship them harder! I also like Hunt and Bryce, I think I just liked their dynamic as well. I'm really growing towards Satharion as well! Tharion is one of my favorite CC characters! I think if I had to go crackship, if Lucien wasn't a character in ACOTAR, or if Elain wasn't already his mate, I'd probably be hard shipping Elain and Eris! I think her sunshine personality with his grumpy one would be adorable! She could bring out a softness to him that no one sees. That would be a fun ship! Ok my little precious, another question for you! What is one of your favorite HC for this couple? =D

Santa, Santa, Santa...

The more you talk, the more I'm having trouble to figure out who you might be...

Anyway, HIIII SANTA!

How are you? What's new? Hope everything is going okay for you!

I absolutely adored Hunt and Bryce in CC1 and CC2. CC3 just wasn't it for me, I didn't even finish this book, ik, shame on me. I'll come back to this book later.

Ooooh Eris, mhhh. I have so much things I could discuss about this man... He's just the perfect morally grey character, and I'm her for it. Elain indeed could bring out his softer side! Although, I will always wonder how did Nesta not fall into that male's bed- ARMS!! I meant arms, of course, ahem. I mean, I would've been swooned away by his words in that dance scene in ACOSAF. I think everyone in the Vanserra family (some of them in their own twisted way) have some kind of biteable energy that I crave.

Now, now, an Elucien HC... Again, I would go with something simple and talk about Lucien's jacket. Yes, I'm obsessed with this detail and I want to know what the hell Elain canonically did with it. But in my HC, she kept it; it just comforts her on her healing journey. Also, I think Elain and Lucien would not immediatly accept the mating bond. They would go through a real slow dating and discovering eachother journey at first. They would travel the world, talk, touch eachother (I think Elain would constantly be at Lucien's arm, and the self-control that male has to maintain... eeeek!) and I think they would cook A LOT together. Cooking would remain their number one activity to do with each other as a mated couple. Just imagine their house always having a little bit of flour or oats here and there, always smelling like freshly baked bread... Mhhh, yum.

Now, I think it's only fair that I ask a question too... to feed my curiosity of course. Is this your first time participating in the ACOTAR gift exchange?

Thank you for reaching out Santa! Take care! Muah!

[sergeantpixie]

I was tagged by @morocorra, thank you!!!

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

Here's some more info under the cut:

Dean Winchester (Supernatural) x Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

There are 22 stories for them on AO3 (and 10 of them were written by me, I am the captain, baby!!!!)

how do I describe them without sounding like a crazy person? Cannot, I fear, so I'm just going full shipper. They're soulmates. Every part of them matches up. A fun ship, a tragic ship, an everything ship! She is sad and he is sad and they both fake not being sad a lot. All of her love interests suck and all of his are dead. Everyone is so obsessed with them and they are both drowning in loneliness.

Alison DiLaurentis x Aria Montgomery (Pretty Little Liars)

There are 8 stories for them on AO3

So there's this girl. And everyone is obsessed with her. But also they all hate her. And she scares everyone, including you. But for some reason she treats you like her equal. And for some pretty complex reasons, she develops this alter ego that's basically you. And when she meets a college guy, she pretends to be you to impress him. And also she takes pictures of you while you're sleeping? But she's only bi for this other girl you're both friends with. And like, you spend years thinking she's dead. So all of your stories are about her. And when you write your villains, you think about her, and you can't bear to have her lose. But she's not really dead. And even though she's spent years hiding, all it takes is you saying her name and she's ready to come back to life. But she really loves that other girl. And you love your boyfriend who was obsessed with her first.

Elena Gilbert x Caroline Forbes (The Vampire Diaries)

There are 90 stories for them on AO3 (we've come so far, babes! Anyway 7 of them are by me)

You've been best friends since you were six. Everyone says it's not a competition but you know it is - and she always wins. She's so pretty and nice and you're so messy and too tall and too blonde and too pushy and mean. Every boy you meet wants to date her so you run after them just in case they might taste like her. Or, wait, because you're competing, and you want to win. And then you do win, and it's horrible. He hurts you and he fucks with your head and you're covered in scars and losing your mind and she's the one who tries to save you. She chases him down and shoves him and threatens him and picks you up off the ground like you're worth it, worth all the trouble. And eventually he moves on and he picks other victims and you date a nice boy (her ex-boyfriend, naturally) and you've gotten really good at pretending it never happened. And you're still competing because that's what you've done your whole life, and your boyfriend is still obsessed with her even though she's got a boyfriend and only sees him as a friend. But now you're competing for real - for the Miss Mystic Falls pageant, and you want to win so bad. And you work so hard, to make up for how messy and pushy and mean you are; you do charity and you plan events and you lead your cheer squad. But she's sad and pretty and perfect, so of course she'll win, you complain. But then she's sad and pretty and perfect and she only did this for her mom and her boyfriend's acting crazy, and you can't let her give up. So you tell her it's okay. You tell her to try. And she does, because you're friends, and that means something to her. And then you win - for real this time. A pretty sash, and a title, and she's standing next to you, shining in blue, the loser, and she's smiling so hard for you, and hugging you, and congratulating you, like your win tastes just as good to her as her own might've. And for a split second, you wonder if you're really competing or if you've just really too scared to just be her friend - maybe you've never wanted to be her friend. But she's got a boyfriend, and so do you.

Katniss Everdeen x Madge Undersee (The Hunger Games)

Not pictured bc Madge isn't in the movie adaptations bc they hate femslash :/

There are 85 stories for them on AO3 (and one of them is mine!)

Madge gives Katniss two gifts!!! The mockingjay pin, and a kiss to the cheek!!!! And maybe they were really friends all along.

Kate Fuller x Santanico Pandemonium/Kisa (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series)

not so fun fact this is their only scene together in the show!

There are 17 stories for them on AO3

It's like this: you've been trapped in a temple for five hundred years, luring people to their death to feed your masters. You are a goddess, you are a monster, you are a slave. But once upon a time you were just a girl. And you loved the sunlight and didn't want to hurt anyone, so they punished you for it. But you're five hundred years away from that girl and you can never go back. So you start to plot. You find an ally, a lover, and you don't trust him, and he doesn't trust you, but he's power hungry enough to serve your purposes. And when the day that marks the end of your sentence comes, she is there. Just a girl, like you were all of those centuries ago. And they always need an effigy - there always has to be someone to burn - and you orchestrate your escape while they try to turn her into you. At every turn, someone is trying to turn her into you. But she hates you, and she blames you. So you keep your distance, and you try not to watch while she becomes just like you, another puppet on a string.

We need to have a talk about @sjmcrackshipmonth and the labeling of crackships in this fandom in general. Yes I am tagging this month specifically because I had a conversation with them about this already, that seemingly did not stick and this time it's gotten a little more personal. What's more is that it's a problem that's not just unique to this blog, but a concept that this fandom seems to struggle with

About a month ago, I messaged this blog raising some concerns regarding their tagging on their announcement post. They had tagged Emorie and Azris, which are two of the most LGBT prominent rarepairs in the fandom. I didn't really feel good seeing that a month for crackships had tagged two LGBT ships that are not crackships. I'm going to get a bit technical here, but please stick with me.

Fanlore defines a crackship as "is a ship that is highly ridiculous, bizarre, disturbing, and/or unlikely to ever become canon. The characters don't have any chemistry, never interact, are in different canons or timelines, are different species, one is an inanimate object, etc. Fans can and do sincerely ship a crack ship, but generally they don't take its chances too seriously and may like it precisely for its implausibility."

I understand that this month is for fun, and I love a good crackship. But seeing those LGBT ships labeled as something with that definition? As somebody in the LGBT community who loves to see the tiny bits of representation on the page we do get, I wasn't a fan of seeing a crackship blog in the tags. Hence why I messaged them last month and explained my problem.

The runner was very polite, and we had a discussion on the use of the term crackship, and why I felt it was inappropriate to tag those ships and include them in the month.

I understand they have good intentions with this, but I pointed out that they had a different route to go. Emorie and Azris were not the only rarepairs tagged, which is why I do believe this person was being earnest about their reasoning, but they were the ones that rubbed me the wrong way.

I was trying very hard not to come off as attacking this runner, especially after their explanation. I know crackship is used fast and loose in this fandom, especially considering many artists are doing 'crackships' on their patreons and whatnot that are really just rarepairs, and not just LGBT ones. But there is a serious problem with calling LGBT rarepairs crackships when LGBT ships are so scarce in this fandom. People call ships crackships just because they don't like them, or it doesn't match their own personal ideas of what will happen in canon. Which is extremely not cool, but seemingly not the intent behind this blog, and I'm not saying that, I'm just pointing out it's a real problem in this fandom. It’s one of many casual forms of homophobia that we throw around

But the problem came to a head yesterday. I had previously discussed this blog with @ofduskanddreams, who is a pretty prominent (and amazing) Azris content creator, because the tags also rubbed her the wrong way, but they were resolved and I had heard back from the runner that they would abstain from involving Emorie and Azris in their month.

That is the entirety of our conversation in all those pictures, including their promise to avoid using Emorie and Azris in the month. Everything was fine until yesterday when Kate realized they had reblogged one of her Azris moodboards. She didn't like that, and didn't want her content for a rarepair that she puts time and effort into to be thrown onto a crackship blog.

This was sent yesterday, more than 24 hours ago, not long after crackship month reblogged her post. As you can see, there is no response and the post remains on the blog. It was frustrating enough that in the span of a month, this person completely forgot or decided to ignore what I thought was a meaningful conversation, but now they're just blatantly ignoring a creator's wishes regarding their content. It's not okay.

I understand that people have lives off of tumblr. Outside of running months. But if you're going to take on the responsibility of a month, you need to be accountable, and you need to respect creators. Especially creators' wishes not to be involved. Especially when a creator doesn't agree with how their content is being portrayed in its involvement.

I don't know who's running crackship month. I don't know what their life is like off of tumblr. But I do know that this whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth regarding the event and the runner. I'm not saying people can't participate in crackship month, nor am I saying they shouldn't. But I think you should be mindful of your content that you include in it and what you label it as, and even more mindful of how you treat other peoples' content.

Azris is not a crackship. Emorie is not a crackship. Tamcien, Rhyslin, Rhycien, FeyMor, Gwynesta, Morlain, so many others. None of these are crackships. Your LGBT ships are not crackships simply because they are not canon. And people need to stop labeling them as such, whether it's because people are just being outright hateful - which is oftentimes homophobic as well - or because people don't know what a crackship is anymore.

Edit: the runner has responded here and here and I encourage you to read their responses. Again, this was never intended to imply this runner was being purposefully harmful, or doing this with ill intent. It has simply been a long-running issue in this fandom that I wanted to acknowledge.

[johnny-but-emo]

Give us the character breakdown of abbachio 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Yay :D

Ok, overall I really like him as a character. He’s got a good design, a nice color pallet, perfect backstory to play around with in fan content, and a personality that creates fun dynamics with everyone else on the team! Originally I didn’t care much for him (not that I didn’t like him, he just didn’t stand out to me) but during my more recent rewatches I’ve started to notice smaller things that make his character more interesting (to me at least lol)

I only really ship him with Bucciarati. They’re kind of like if an elderly divorced couple was combined with a newly wed couple, if that makes sense? Yknow, like those “I hate my wife” boomer comics mixed with the honeymoon phase shit. I do also ship Jotaro and Abba as a crackship because of a random thought I had. There’s not much to say about it other than I think it’d be funny and they would be terrible for each other.

For platonic otp, I don’t have anything, but I will say that I like the potential that he and Fugo have as a duo. They kinda give off a shitty siblings separated by an age gap vibe to me. Like, sad college drunk older brother and his younger sibling who’s still in the perfectionist prodigy child phase. If that makes any sense.

Unpopular opinion, he would be a terrible father figure. I would love to elaborate on this but I can’t think of how to right now, so if you wanna hear why I can try to give an answer later :]

and as for something I wish happened in canon, I wish that we got to see him form more of a bond with Giorno. I like their fanon interactions, so just having them interact more in canon would make me happy, but I also feel like it could’ve made his death a little more impactful. Throughout golden wind, he does loosen up around Giorno a little, but nothing actually changes. If he had started to open up more, or even acknowledged Giorno as trustworthy it could’ve set up the scene a little better. Idk. again, I can’t really find the words for it, but would love to try to elaborate.

thank you for the ask!! Sorry it took so long to answer, and feel free to add your own thoughts :3

[caddyheron]

please share your mean girls ship opinions we won’t judge!

yes you will! /lh

anyway. i OTP cady x aaron which is far rarer of a ship than i thought it would be 😭 i also ship gretchen x regina

gretchen x karen is my ship in law and i think about it sometimes, mostly when my friends are talking about it

i don’t ship cadina even a little bit. it doesn’t make sense in my head and i feel like everyone in the fandom ignores other ships to ship cadina /lh, i also can’t ship rejanis in any serious way, i get why it makes sense but i can’t ship janis and the person who hurt her so much

i Get Broadway cady x janis, but i don’t ship them. if other people ship them, i understand

i have some fun with crackships like karen x kevin or something, and can see poly plastics

sometimes i think cady had a thing with gretchen when she became “queen” of the plastics

[dragon-communion]

Behold a few crackships to ponder:

Trina/Melina. I love doomed lesbians, and where did Melina get Torrent from anyway?

Empyrean poly. I don't think Ranni has ever felt romantic a day in her life, Miquella is forbidden by the laws of propriety from expressing genuine attraction, and Malenia has been called a plague rat her entire life and probably gave up on the idea of anyone else loving her after her arm fell off. Together they can be a terrifying queerplatonic disabled anarchist polycule.

Marika/Eiglay. Where else do you think her snake-and-fire flavored children came from?This is like if Eve decided to be lesbian with the biblical Serpent, except also Eve is an established warmonger with biceps the size of my head.

Serosh/Godfrey. Highly intelligent lion who's technically a POW, eternally bound to the berserker warrior that conquered his people, in some effort to Fix Him. Serosh is Godfrey's Jiminy Cricket. Except they probably had a brutal fight to the death at one point, which is how warriors make friends. Imagine being chained to the man who won a war against you and then you're tasked with teaching him etiquette. And the BEAST is more self-controlled than the MAN. The inversions happening here. Do you see my vision.

Ranni/Trina. Do I need to elaborate on why this idea rules. Trina's lilies are all over Liurnia. You KNOW they went on a little stroll in the academy gardens at least once. Their personal relationships with the concept of ambition and power would be so fun to explore. Also, Ranni's whole deal is things that are dark, hidden, and occult. Trina is absolutely the hidden side of Miquella. Ranni's already incredibly aroace flavored, possibly demi, so I'm imagining her getting a demiromantic crush on a girl that's only half real. Schrödinger's lesbian crisis.

Malenia/Messmer. Both of them are the blades of their respective gods. While I think Miquella is the only twin with the actual motivation to seduce Messmer, and in general their ideologies do not match up, I do want to lock them in a oneshot fic and see what happens.

Placidusax/Miquella. Because the only thing missing from the perfection of unalloyed gold is twisting time, and Placidusax is from an era where all things did bloom whether graceful or malign. Miquella is looking for the Crucible and he doesn't even truly know it.

Messmer/Miquella. The oldest and youngest demigods, from diametrically opposed ideologies. Messmer wants to be loved and Miquella offers it endlessly, however Miquella is a usurper upstart and Messmer is determined to suffer on the cross of his mother's expectations like Jesus. Let the games begin.
