#how did you post this on the day the assisfriedkin brainrot consumed me again

#my one rarepair offering is amanda and litzibitz but i have a million friendship pairings

#they're animated children's show characters to me and i am writing only filler episodes

#farah and estevez i think we've established but i haven't seen much fic about it (thanks kate though!!!)

#lydia and literally anyone. lydia and tina: shenanigans. lydia and farson: two children who tried to suceed where the adults failed. lydia #and mona: she just thinks mona's neat. lydia and hobbs: the father she never had.

#zimmerfield and wygar

#farson and francis!!! i feel like farson was a little bit of a francis stand in

#tina and panto and i also wanna say tina and panto's mom

#i feel like she would shock and appall panto's mom by like forcibly redecorating but eventually they would be wine friends

(this got way too long for prev-tagging it)

amanda and litzibitz!!! who knows maybe if amanda stayed in wendimoor to study extra magic..... maybe litzi would've snuck out to meet the mysterious witchacookoo... maybe farson would've introduced them! i think they would get along great, they're both very fierce young women willing to risk themselves / whats important to them if it means keeping people safe, burdened both by responsibility (the wise witch of her realm/the princess of her people) and by limited power to fulfill it (not enough control over her magic / over her father's decicions). what is shipping if not picking two characters with similar and/or compatible trauma and shoving them together! also given that i solidly hc manda as aromantic (and also bi and polyam but i digress) that makes me think what if litzi also was aromantic? 1 give it up for hot sapphic sex and friendship, 2 it's kinda funny to me to imagine litzibitz being on the fence abt her brother's relationship partially bc she just doesn't get why would he go that far for the sake of romance

LYDIA AND FARSON!!!! you're a teenager. your single parent has been keeping secrets from you. there's a feud that's been going on for years. you go out to meet up with the enemy: you want truth, you want peace, you want closure. it doesn't go well. you're kidnapped; your older sibling gets in trouble over it. your little stunt gets people killed. your body is changed in a way that's perfectly physically reversible but irreversibly traumatizes you. in the end, all is well, the day is saved and the problem is solved, but. you've gotten people killed. what's now, little heir?

in honor of tina & panto i tried to find more hcs from that one convo but it turned out we didn't share any, we were just picking roles for an omgcp au 😭 but anyway!! these two would get up to So Many shenanigans i know it. neither panto nor tina don't really need any more enabling as it is, but they'd absolutely enable each others and the amounts of bullshit would be Gorgeous. tina would hype him up bc she's a huge fan of hot people with weapons ("you're almost as badass as my girlfriend!"), and panto would have genuine deep respect for her skillset, and it'd be an iconic friendship! chaos queers at large: beware.

also on the topic of that au role assignements, i can't believe i forgot tina/amanda!! now That's a rareship. in that specific situation the ship wasn't actually prompted by "what would happen if we removed farah from the equation?", but in general i think that The most funny/interesting character dynamics can be achieved through taking a triangle-like situation (whether romantic or platonic or familial or whatever or a mix) and removing the centerpoint character, shoving the other two directly together. tina/amanda. silas & bart. panto × ken. todd × mike. NOW we're talking NOW THAT'S something!!! anyway i think that the fact that tina and amanda have never met and probably barely even heard of each other is the only thing that stopped them from instantly bonding for life. two bisexual weed-smoking musical subcultre girls in their mid-to-late twenties with debilitating mental and/or physical health issues and complexes over their older brothers, previously choking to death on boredom in their small and depressing enviroments and now getting embroiled in a terrible but exciting adventure larger than them? that relationship is writing itself!! y'all've heard about tina/farah parallels, now give it up for tina/amanda parallels!!!

on topic of tina & panto's mom, i don't remember the trosts having a mother? iirc they only had the father, jeppum, and the dengdamors only had the mother, lady frija. please PLEASE tell me you've invented a wendimoor oc for panto's mother and if yes PLEASE tell me about it i LOVE your hcs and incorporating them into my worldview

this fandom needs more weird and niche rareships. assisfriedkin, farona, mona/hugo, priest/adams, brotzman/estevez fans RISE UP i love eeeeevery single one of all so madly

honestly sound off your rareships in the notes i wanna see what yall got

oh and bonus round: people who hadn’t interacted once in canon but absolutely should've been friends (i will preemtpively mention tina & mona from kp's coffeshop au, tina & panto from i think that one conversation we had once, and bart & assistent from electricteatime's fic i havent yet read but heard a lot about)

Hi y'all, As you know Tumblr's search function blows. And as such it has been tricky to find content of rare ships, and almost impossible for the truly rare ships. So if you come across something good that needs to reach more eyes, send it our way via message, ask, or submit (I am pretty sure I set that up correctly)

How to (Not) Woo Your Kent

Author: blindinglights Rating: Teen and Up Word Count: 2.3k Pairing(s): Parse/Tater/Snowy Summary: The thing - the problem, more like - that Kent has is his mess of feelings for Tater. And add in his developing feelings for Snowy as well, and it’s just a recipe for disaster. On top of that, watching Tater and Snowy interact with each other always leaves Kent thinking there’s something more between the two of them. And even if there is, there’s also no way that both of them would be interested in him together. Separate, together, whatever - there’s just no way either of them would want Kent.

Recommendation courtesy of @ftchocoholic

Dex/Kent soulmate au:

Both parts rated teen and up

Part 1: “I regret to inform you (I think we're in love)”

Summary: Kent tries everything he can to close the gap between him and his soulmate, but the person he ends up closer to... wasn't the person he thought it was going to be.Which frankly throws both him and Dex for a loop.

Part 2: “the best thing that's ever been mine”

Summary:  Kent looks down at his plate, fingers twitching on his fork. "I don’t think that I’m good enough for your son,“ he says finally. "But I want to make sure he has everything he needs.”

Love is the Third D-men-sion

Author: Denois  Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 3.6k Pairing(s): Holster/Tater/Ransom Summary: Alexei's knee injury was healing fine on a diet of pie and pie, he didn't know why coach brought on two new d-men, but they better not be there to replace him. Justin meant to be a good son and go to med school. He'd chosen Harvard because it was one of the highest ranked pre-med programs in North America. But when the Falconers asked him to play for them alongside his celebrity crush, how could he say no? Playing in the AHL was not all it cracked up to be. Adam was two minutes away from submitting an application to a consulting firm when the Falcs called him and finally gave him his shot.

Autumn snow, winter rain

Author:  palateens Rating: Mature Word Count: 15.4k Pairing(s): Polyhaus Summary: It happens slowly. It happens between the bad days, the busy days, the quiet moments, the things they almost say, and the bruises they leave. It sucks, but life keeps chugging on.

A story about (barely) functional mental illness and living for the small moments.

To Be Loved

Author:  Dellessa  Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 2.1k Pairing(s): Tater/Kent/Swoops Summary: Miami was warm, and humid in the way that Vegas never was. It was a lot to get used to. It was also nice being able to go out and not be recognized. They could all go out, and not be stopped for autographs, or photographed by the paps. Unfortunately, it was still essential to keep up appearances for all of them.
