#i'm in rare pair hell

[funkyplantguy]

guys. guys. listen. listen. cub and mumbo as a ship have the most perfect setup and you all are sleeping on it but never fear!! as i am here to spread the Good News of cumbo. number one. they're both fucking insane in the head. they both have the capacity to become completely and totally and exquisitely obsessed with each other in a really weird and probably really fucked up way. number two. they're the Best Friends (trademark pending) of scar and grian respectively. they're both victims witnesses of Whatever The Fuck those two have going on at all times. they can complain to each other about it. they can complain together about how scar and grian dance around each other all the fucking time and how insufferable they both are because of it. they can unknowingly start their own dance, orbiting each other at a distance until one of them goes fucking crazy and veers off course and they make out sloppy style. it's perfect. it's perfect.

set out to create a serious, canonesque drawing with which to say "feel free to go in my lackadaisy tag and help me mystery speculate" but only got going when i made it bowling and the rarepair agenda

[delicatebeauties]

I feel sometimes like a dinosaur 🦕, bc i come from the time period where i was used to ship based on vibes and read queer coded in every blinks.

Very grateful we moved on to explicit ships and even pairs but i sometimes miss the levity to be able to multiship or crosship characters based on vibes and finding other fans for it.

Feel free to let me know for what shows you would have loved to do alternative pairings (any gender mixes). I loved only friends but wish there was even more mess and hungry for the fanfics that got generated.

Also would love to see more less predictable dynamics even for established pairs like earthmix, eg. would love to see mix as the top and more dominant one in the relationship, we got hints for his capacity for playing a manipulative seducer babe in only friends last episode and i was left hungry for it.

On another note, nothing makes me more sad when characters are nerfed down for the sake of amplifying a kink dynamic (eg weakening the "bottom" personality).

Hell mix x gun would be interesting 👀👀 and hopefully have a high budget wardrobe.

On a thai gl side, there is quite a bit of tomboy women in the culture and I would love to see it represented! Sad but amusing that china actually used to have more f butch rep in asia.

A "stud" x "stud" gl with a "femme" x "femme" bl when xD

I dedicate this image to @allcanonisrelative. Wow that height difference.

[fell-the-aristocracy]

there's gotta just be like. something in my fuckin dna. why am i always rendered Utterly Deranged by a supporting character?

in almost everything there's always a side character that just rips my heart out and carries it away. this is ridiculous. why am i on my knees screaming crying throwing up every time this damn boy shows up gfdhkj

[s-h-a-s-e]

these two have taken over my mind <3

I just came home from the new Spiderverse movie and I’m back on my weird rare pair bullshit that makes everyone look at me like “how and why does your brain work like that?”.

Hear me out. Symbrock/Spot.

(Not really spoilers™️ but just in case)

I already knew I’d love the Spot cause we’ve got a pathetic lil wet-cat man who’s also non-human looking enough BUT THEN we get that eldritch horror and my brain went hello. I was hoping there’d be someone in the movie that would have my brain go “Yes! that one!” to ship him with, cause I’m not much of an OC person myself, but I didn’t vibe with anyone that way.

However then my brain just slapped down the other pathetic spider-man obsessed antag human/non-human combo (who’s also in monochrome) and I’m a sucker for that really random pairing shit that no one else looks at. Tis a tale as old as time for me 😂

Also it is entirely possible, y’know, given the whole movie aslkhdkl

Eddie/Venom/Spot, Loser/Loser/Loser, and they’re all subs 😂 (Plus you’ve got tentacle alien x monster man made of holes, eh? Eeeh? 👀)

I’ve seen nothing else about this, so I’m probably going to be writing fics for it (rare pair hell for me again, as always, toot toot!)

Edit: Wrote a fic.

I wanna protect everyone who's still willing to draw joukai art in this day and age while braving how it's increasingly the fandom black sheep ship and tumblr's shitty reblogging drought

The poor pet is so confused. Like the poor bastard is just hiding under Koan's bed. Eventually he comes out. And Prowl once the low priority thread at the back of his processor finishes it analysis "Fuck did you do to my agent?!" Tits and carying belly forward waddling beligerantly at Tarn.

Nickel's loving wrath is exctly what Prowl needs in his life. Also the flash backs to Ratchet's wrath. Prowl devoutly hopes they never meet and compare notes.

Prowl's tendency to glitch throw monkey wrenchs in things too I'd imagine.

ohhhhh, no yeah Prowl being the surly bastard he is has gotta confuse Dominus in his very vulnerable Domesticated state

Prowl has made the connection and is correct, Kaon, what the fuck did you do to his agent.

Exactly Prowl is instantly comparing Nickel to Ratty and he's so right for that

Ohhh Prowl's glitches definitely make things more than a little .•°☆funky☆°•.

since I was feeling low and fever stupid, decided to try to read some light nonsense and wanted something specific:

only to be reminded that the only 2 things in this ship on AO3 are literally by me OTL

[petrichoravellichor]

Why, why does content for this very specific rare pair not exist, is it not enough that I think about it constantly, must I also create it as well? How horribly unfair to me personally. >:(

[woeismywaffle]

Airlena thoughts

10/10 would search up on ao3 and be sad that there's no fics about it again 👌👌

I've been thinking of writing a fic for them myself where it's just Elena rambling about the origin of sirens and how they weren't really potrayed as fish people in the beginning because I saw a video on the same topic(And because both sirens and Airazor are bird women from ancient times skqks) and Airazor would just sit there and listen to her, partly because she's fascinated by all these strange human stories and partly because it feels nice and soothing to listen to her not-gf's voice. There's a strange sort of beauty to the sounds that human beings produce, especially Elena's voice, so unlike her own kind yet not so different at the same time.

I'm abysmally lazy though and bad at writing in general so I have no idea if I'll ever go through with it sjwkssjsqsj

[noahstayed]

I forget how unhinged I sound when talking about fanfic until I get an ask recommending me fic or fandom and I have to like- delete it like 4 times before settling for the bare minimum. I’m so chronically picky. It’s my best and worst trait. It makes me write what you all think is ‘refreshing’ stuff, but it also means I can’t enjoy anything ever cause my standards are too high and my fandom takes are  disgustingly unpopular. This is why I never write actual meta

[heatherfield]

For my rare pair hell at least in terms of red cricket (affectionate)

[somewhereinthepines]

dang. i actually really liked the devil in me. have so much lil ideas and such. *makes a weird noise* i already knew what i will be obssessed over in that game, but still. gnsfndgu. give me smth that looks like 90e slasher and some cool looking dar/john modeled killer and nerurotic middle aged man. and y’know. i’m sold. i’m this easy. i even called myself out and predicted who my fav would be. tho, mark is a cute lil bean. but ah...i’m more of asshole-stan, haha. 

but really, charlie such a pet! snooping around, having so many near-face-to-face moments with du’met. i wonder if there is more to it, if there are more branches. but mmm, parts of it were reminding me about outlast a bit. the same tension all over. 

[uwu-twistedthorn-uwu]

I hate you for getting tsum floyd/floyd into my head ♡ do you mind sharing more headcanons ???

Unfortunately I've gotten like super burnt out by TWST and lost like all interest in it, but I managed to dig up some stuff from back when I still played the game.

Tsum!Floyd falls for Floyd first. The entire reason he showed up in Draw Me Like One of Your French Eels was because he wanted to confess his feelings, hence his positive reaction to Jade's approval of their "relationship".

Tsum!Floyd doesn’t live on campus. Every time he arrives he descends from the heavens (and ascends when it’s time to go back home).

This is the only ship I have ever come up with fan kids for (though I never named them or came up with personalities). One is shaped like a mermaid but is made of felt, the other is shaped like a bean but is made of flesh. Flesh!Floyd was the one who gave birth to them.

That's all I had written down about the Floyds, but there was also a bunch of Jade/Tsum!Jade stuff as well if you're interested.
