#is this even a crackship or just a rarepair

[lucky-luffy]

I did the One Piece shipping showcase! Additional explanations and thoughts below:

First ship - Zoro/Luffy (OPLA) I started shipping about three episodes into the live action and it just grew and grew. Their dynamic in OPLA was great and still really special to me! Ship I didn't like at first - Sanji/Nami I'm still often surprised by how cute I find them at times, though I'm not sure I would say I officially "ship" them. Still the only thing I could really think of to put here. Ship I don't like anymore - Luffy/Koby Cute Koby/Lu fan art was one of the things that made me want to try OPLA to begin with but the "ship" didn't last long for me as it was quickly replaced by Zoro/Luffy. I still think Koby and Luffy are cute together, though. Popular ship I don't like - Zoro/Sanji I've just never been into this dynamic. Have seen some great fan art though. Favorite rarepair - Vivi/Nami I think NamiVivi counts as a rarepair? They're super cute!! Ship I don't like - Luffy/Nami Just like with ZS, they aren't for me. Ship I want to be canon the most - Sanji/Pudding Technically I don't want any ships to be canon, or if I did I would say a slash ship like ZoLu, but I wanted to put one that actually stands a chance, and this was all I could come up with. I did think their whole story in WCI was surprisingly sweet, but they both need to do a bit more growing before they can be good together.

Favorite crackship - Sanji/Luffy If this even counts as one? Tbh I really am not a crackship person, I don't ship any characters who haven't at least met and shared something a little special. Current OTP - Zoro/Luffy You know it's ZoLu baby!!!!

hey guys you know what's better than ONE unhinged scientist ?

#i had a vision of this ship when i read their wiki articles back to back #what's interesting is that even though they're so similar their limits are so different #test tube wouldn't have killed her teammates but pillow wouldn't have abducted a child #so if they were together they would probably have equal passion but clashing objectives and that can create so much tension #also they are just 2 weird girls studying eachother. sillies #bfdi #tpot #inanimate insanity #ii test tube #bfdi pillow #crackship #rarepair #bfdi dream theory #<- that's their ship name

[thsc-confessions]

"Confession, I enjoy rare pairing that people ship! My favourite art requests are rare pairs where I don’t even know who the characters are so I get to learn about them! I also get to explore how the paring would work! It’s quite nice and designing the characters into my style is fun. I also enjoy the crack ships, the ones where you question “why and how” but also start questioning the universe on “why do they work so well??” I want more fun ships and have gotten a big bored of the popular ships."

"Note nothing wrong about them I love the popular ships and ship them myself lots. I just enjoy new and fresh ships that keep things interesting. I can only do so many Henry centric ship prompts before I decide to toss him around like a rag doll… actually didn’t I already do that? (:"

I've read your "the lemonade stand" and i'm really curious how the events that happened in "Hoshigaki" and "Eight" trasfer to it, so if you had perhaps an outline of it and don't mind sharing, please share, i'm wracking my brain for how it could work.

Have a wonderful whatever-time-is-it-where-you-are!

hi!

so the barebones ideas i have for team eight's lore in the lemonade stand goes something like this:

the akatsuki have based themselves in north america, but kisame leaves sakura in tokyo with an old relative on his wife's side and doesn't keep in contact, hoping for the best and living with the guilt the second he drops her off. unbeknownst to him, that relative passes a few weeks later and sakura is promptly shuttled into an orphanage

the years sakura spends there helps her grow into the calm, smart, calculating version we all know and love in the original hoshigaki-verse. naruto is a part of the same orphanage but they don't really interact. she sees him cause trouble, get chastised by the works, watches the cycle spin over and over. but it's none of her business and he's never really talked to her, so she keeps her head down and spends her free time finishing homework that's too easy for her and sticking her nose in library books until curfew hits

she meets kiba sometime in the middle of elementary school and her free time splits to spend some time at the circuit of shelters and veterinary clinics the inuzuka family owns

by junior high, sakura and kiba are thick as thieves. the first day of their first year, they meet shino and immediately get him in trouble with them. they spend that day's detention under kurenai yuuhi, their homeroom teacher. from that day on, shino's sucked into their group and they gain a reputation for themselves by racking up more absences than attendances and most teachers couldn't care less about what they do with their time. they still turn in their assignments, still keep up their grades, and if they keep their 'delinquent tendencies' out of their sight, it's not their problem

kurenai disagrees. they're good kids, she knows it, and she'll try to help steer them on the right path no matter how many detentions she has to host for them. now if only they could take it seriously and stop bringing her cheap snacks to bribe her into letting them leave early

it's also in junior high that naruto starts hanging around sakura and her friends. they both had growing up in the orphanage in common, and both had that troublemaking gene, and it was both of them that went out of the orphanage together to make a deal with a landlord who didn't mind renting out some rooms to a couple punk kids who were tired of the group home. the kids were scrappy and clever and knew their way around the streets so he offered them this: a unit for each of them if they ran odd jobs for him whenever he needed them to. when they made deliveries, they'd never look into a package. when he sent them to check up on people, they wouldn't get caught - if they did, he wasn't doing anything to get them out of it

anything beat going back to the orphanage. so they agreed

back at school the other teachers keep telling kurenai it isn't worth the effort, especially when police officer tenzo keeps hauling them back to the school if he can catch them out during school hours. but what they don't care to notice is how police sergeant tenzo is half trying to keep himself from laughing along with these kids and half trying not to worry himself gray when he find that they've thrown themselves into another fight with another group at another school. it doesn't matter if they keep winning, and it's certainly not funny when kiba's cheek is so swollen that it makes him talk weird for a week

but what tenzo's really worried about isn't the fights or the truancy or how scary smart these kids can really be. it's that because they're scary smart that they'll get in trouble with the worst sort of people one day, and him and kurenai won't be enough to save them

his fears are realized in the kids' second year of junior high when one day, they disappear

kurenai is distraught. her and tenzo are the only ones outside of the inuzuka and aburame families that actually care that the kids are gone, and along with it comes some gutting realizations. her the kids never stirred up any real trouble, per se, but they never made many friends at school or got in any other teacher's good graces or care enough to actually address the reputations they've built up for themselves

for a year and a half, she mourns them. she watches inuzuka tsume demand the police to find her son and why the hell aren't you doing anything he's out there and he's thirteen and if you don't do something he'll be dead. she watches aburame shibi, the quiet and polite managing partner of the renowned Aburame Law Offices, blame his son's friends for turning him into another bad kid when he has such a bright future ahead of him. she watches as tenzo tries his best to keep their case open because he's so sure they're still out there despite it growing cold around the edges; he'll never give up on them, he says, even when everyone up to the superintendent general of the tokyo metropolitan police department - second in rank only to the chief of japan's national police agency - thinks he's chasing shadows. she watches as naruto never loses hope of sakura and kiba and shino coming home and... and that one has a particular sting to it. especially when it's only recently that an explosive altercation between him and his best rival landed naruto a couple month's stay in the hospital and had sasuke whisked off somewhere out of japan without leaving so much as a phone number behind

kurenai never loses hope, and it's that same hope that kills her a little bit every day

everything changes when naruto starts his first year of senior high school. because three kids stroll onto the same school grounds like they hadn't ever gone missing in the first place. sakura, taller and stronger and indifferent and with a shock of pink hair. kiba, louder and angrier and sharper and a hearing aid in one ear. shino, more brazen and colder and more blunt and never taking off the dark sunglasses he's taken to wearing on his face

they're back, and it's like the warmth has found its way back into kurenai's blood

(it's later when the kids and kurenai and tenzo flee to north america for a charge of a murder they didn't commit that the latter two find out what really happened. one day when the kids were skipping school like usual, they see police officers dumping the body of a missing child. back then they hadn't been quick enough or strong enough or wise enough to react accordingly and get sucked into a dark conspiracy that they never wanted to be a part of in the first place. superintendent general shimura danzo is kidnapping kids, he had once sold some of them to disgraced scientist orochimaru to supplement illegal experimentation, and prime minister sarutobi hiruzen was covering it all up.)

((then, superintendent shimura finds out there are witnesses. he figures them out, packs up three teenagers into a shipping crate and loads them up on a ship, and sends them off to their deaths. when their bodies are inevitably found, it won't be hard to spin it: "three juvenile deliquents up to no good. something like this was bound to happen. what a shame, what a tragedy. may their souls end up in a better place than their bodies did."))

the conspiracies end up coming to light by the time the kids are sixteen, exposing a rotten and corrupt system that the new prime minister, senju tsunade, is quickly and aggressively working to root (ha) out. but even as names clear and charges drop and japan is ready to welcome three misjudged teenagers back with open arms, they decide to stay in north america.

kiba's intrigued with the goings-on in technology department at RAIN Securities and would probably go to college for something in the field. he's a whizz with tech anyway, and he knows they're probably going to pay for his degree in exchange for his employment

shino knows he's going to put himself on track for medical school. kiba and sakura are always getting hurt and he wants nothing more than to devote himself to the little family they've made for themselves. keeping them safe and healthy will always be in his top priorities, and he's already had exposure helping the medical team at catatumbo sanctuary in south africa. sure it was all veterinary medicine, but at least he knows he's interested in that sort of science

and sakura, well, isn't sure what to do with herself. she's content with floating through high school and taking general courses in college until she finds something worth doing. maybe she'll find something in physics; the subject makes kiba gag, and that's as good a reason as any to study it

it's not like the north american high schools are much different than the ones in japan when it comes down to what matters, anyway. she doesn't make any other friends in the school, she doesn't endear herself to the staff, she submits her assignments and takes her tests and thinks that they school should be lucky they don't have to deal with her and the boys' truancy habits this time around. the days go by and she spends her time after school in a rotation of places: her dad's gym, konan's company, sasori's tattoo shop, kakuzu's car customs shop. it's more of a variety than japan, but it's still routine. she doesn't expect any change

then one fateful day, she gets a project partner in the form of the the football team's pretty boy. and the timeline of the lemonade stand begins :)

this... really got away from me lmao. the outline turned out to be both way more information than i thought i'd get down and not enough detail to fully explain how the world is molded by the events of the hoshigaki-verse, but i hope it's a good structure to give you some idea of how things went down! i could definitely make a prequel fic to elaborate on the world, but we all know i'm already struggling to update my current fics lmaooooo

but if you have any specific questions, i'd be happy to answer them! thank you for your wonderful ask! <3

#asks #hoshigaki #eight #au in an au #i loved hoshigaki sakura so much she became my own canon and i've just made it everyone else's problem #i don't even know how leon managed to shoulder his way in here but now my true otp for sakura is the wildest crackship #that i'm the only one making content for #i guess they call it rarepair hell for a reason #but i just never thought it would happen like this specifically #leon scott kennedy you're one of my greatest muses #and my greatest adversary LMAO

[multishippers-paradise]

Trust me when I say every ship has that group or person that are extremist to the point that they only care for that ship and hate any other ship that ruins their ship.

Like Dude, no one is shipping characters to ruin your ship, ppl are shipping cuz they see characters and dynamics differently ♥️

It's okay not to like a ship, but no reason to think your ship is superior cuz of any reason and have to bring down others.

#multishipper #shipper #shipping #ship talk #no ones shipping to ruin others ships #ppl are just too monoship to think other wise sometimes #rarepair #even crackships are valid too #rarepairs need more love ♥️

[eyestrain-addict]

Rarepair enjoyers I have a question. What is a rarepair you have that's really just a crackship or goofy ship for you, no stakes on canon or anything, merely vibes... and then what's a rarepair that you will die on the hill for, should be canon, so obvious everyone else is blind, type of ship. Put in tags.

#ill start #goofy rarepair is asgore and gaster in UTDR. it would be really out of left field but would it be cool if they became canon? sure but thats #not why i ship them. its just the cringe fail dads for me #and my rarepair that i WILL die on a hill for is death the kid and blackstar in the soul eater manga #i didnt even ship them until i read the manga then i realized “oh shit this bitches gay” #shouldve been canon but also okoubo only made literally one ship (technically two) canon and they were both bg ships so im not that mad #rarepair #shipping #crackship #lmao #insane ramblings

[ezralva]

Been coming to my attention that Choso is also being passed around among the jjk men, particularly the adult men...like I can see where Sukucho came from, but there are even Higucho and Kusacho! My six eyes been opened lmao very interesting indeed! Let's see if the authors will be wildin' and throw Nanacho and Chogumi into the mix :D

#i've seen fanarts of nanahigu and was baffled coz these two practically live in different timelines hahaha #guess nowadays they don't even need to have any tiniest connection or interaction to be shipped they just need to exist as a character #fanfic #fanart #crackship #rarepair

[hyperfixationtimego]

actually my shipping palate is perfect and the only reason the ships I like aren’t very popular is because nobody else’s taste is as good as mine 💯💯💯

#this is a joke btw #thinking about how I’ve already read all the shinouma and momoguji fics again lads #like BRO even saimota isn’t SUPER popular and that absolutely BOGGLES my mind #like besties!!!!! we literally see them fall in love and get divorced in REAL TIME #like naeleon I can understand. kuwata’s literally the first person to be executed so it makes sense that not a lot of fans fixate on him #they’re wrong. because he’s amazing. but still #also there are so many popular ships that I just. absolutely LOATHE or that squick me out #smh 😔 #rarepair #crackship #shipping #okay to interact

I definitely don't regret deleting my wattpad account full of friendfiction and terrible writing. But I kinda wish i saved the two chapters of absolute crackship that was Harley Quinn x GLaDOS bc honestly what the fuck was I thinking, but also like whatever I was thinking I was right.

I’ve come here to say, that because of my partner who is the literal embodiment of Anarchy in name and personality,

I have written a crackship slowburn fic between two dead men in Avatar who never met here -> https://archiveofourown.org/works/45775858/chapters/115195777

#I would say i'm sorry #but i'm not #i think it's hilarious #and i'm emotionally invested in it now #i love jake but i also love the gays #and the gays win this go around #for those confused #this is a tsu'tey x tommy fic #yes jakes dead twin we never even got a personality for #i'm giving him one #he's my babygirl now #avatar 2009 #Avatar James Cameron #tsu'tey #rarepair #crackship #slowburn #ao3 #dont...just dont ask questions its better for us all if you dont i promise #it already has 4 kudos

What is... a rarepair?

Rarepair refers to a rare pairing inside a fandom. This means that a pairing that someone ships does not have a lot of fanart or fanfiction about them or anything at all.

While crackships are always rarepairs, these rare pairings can make a lot of sense in canon, but they are just not that popular. But they often also refer to shipping characters that do not interact in canon at all, maybe not even know each other in the source material.

There are no exact numbers on when a pairing is considered a rarepair but some characteristics are that the tag on AO3 does not have a lot of hits and that most of the entries were written by the same person.

Shipping a rarepair can be frustrating, when you feel like you are alone in your love for a pairing, but it can also be fun to be able to shape the pairing together with two, three other shippers however you want them, because you basically own the ship by solely contributing to it.

[rius-cave]

Not a crackship, Adam and Lucifer have a lot of history and one hell of an on-screen interaction.

I don't think it even qualifies as a rarepair anymore! Or maybe I'm just biased.

Rants!

Rochi: there are literally 19 fics for this ship, all but 3 written by the same person, and the characters have never even been mentioned in the same sentence, let alone met. neither of them have any lines, we don't know what one looks like and we only know he exists because of like 2 fact files you can find scattered around the game. but holy shit if the dynamic ive deluded myself into thinking they have isnt DELECTABLE

Duckylove: A HYPERSPECIFIC POLYCULE BETWEEN MOST OF THE TEENAGERS IN THE DWAMPYVERSE CAST. TECHNICALLY THE BASIS IS IN THE PHINEAS AND FERB CAST, WITH CANDACE DATING JEREMY, STACY, AND VANESSA, BUT IT COMPLICATES FROM THERE. I USUALLY HAVE STACY AND VANESSA DATING EACH OTHER, ALONG WITH STACY DATING COLTRANE AND VANESSA DATING MONTY. MONTY CAN ALSO BE DATING CARL IT DEPENDS. FROM THERE THERES THE MILO MURPHY'S LAW CAST, WITH SARA DATING CANDACE AND VANESSA, ALONG WITH NEAL. THE HAMSTER AND GRETEL CAST INCLUSION IS KEVIN DATING HIROMI, WHOS DATING STACY AND SARA AS WELL. FRED AND JENNY (AND A BUNCHA THE OTHER TEENS BUT LESS FULLY AS THESE TWO) ARE ALSO THERE BUT FRED AND JENNY ARE AROACE SO THEY JUST KINDA EXIST THERE.

Kesett: Ok so the ship started as something random @ironhoshi and @fettupwithyou came up with but then more people started to hear about it and it became an actual ship. The whole idea was because people realized Boba and Cal are about the same age and Boba is a bounty hunter and Cal is someone who would probably be wanted by a bunch of people
