AO3 Crackships to Make You Question Everything

[@captainpalegg2860]

“i hope this is good, it’s my english assignment” is W I L D

[@pikacrafter2903]

I feel like there are three primary categories that crack ships can be sorted in: Wouldn't this be funny Wouldn't this be hot Wouldn't this be interesting

[@arkangyal8024]

Also Wouldn't this be fucked up

[@saphirestorm7952]

All mine are in the first row

[@saturnas]

Wouldn't this be weird af just for the sake of being weird af

[@genericchannel4910]

I'm part of a group that makes massive crossover fics on ao3. We don't make ships often, but sometimes we have the best ideas. KZbin dislike button/Hatsune Miku is a personal favourite

[@haumenic]

I headcanon the Dislike button and Like button are siblings that actually like each other, hence why they’re next to each other because they’re gossiping to each other about things happening in the KZbin community and talking about how Subscribe button has a crush for Like, which the latter dislikes.

[@forsetimaster0689]

If your fic has the Dislike Button, make sure to flag "major character death." :(

[@SDTwirixx]

Dude. This is fanfiction. If canon do not vibe, it can go in the trash. That being said, please tag anything that shows that one piece of canon with Major Character Death please /Lh

[@fulana_de_tal]

​@@forsetimaster0689 dislike button isn't dead, they just have gone mute after a major incident

[@markipliertrash1562]

Interesting

[@lightyearpig12]

Peter Griffin x Lin-Manuel Miranda sounds like the setup for a cutaway gag. "This reminds me of the time I was boyfriends with Lin-Manuel Miranda."

[@cinnamonbeanbaby444]

Or even better… “This reminds me of the time I broke up with Lin-Manuel Miranda” *cuts to Lin* “I am not throwing away my shot, I am not throwing away this shot, you can’t throw away this shot” (Or something like that idk)

[@forsetimaster0689]

I love how every crackfic that has a pairing that *almost* makes sense makes up for it with the most unhinged tags.

[@Killerkitty-ql3nc]

I can just imagine the worst nightmare of the last one. The English teacher: finds the fic. The English teacher : puts fic on the screen in front of class and starts analyzing it. Teacher: Now, author name, what do you think you wanted to say in this sentence? Author name: wakes up, and never makes eye contact with anyone ever

[@bwayagnes]

i should never have been shown crackshipping. i've become too powerful. i've made an entire undertale au so i can ship sans with a pillbug.

[@Mozzarella_Crunch]

I am so glad my crack ship isn't THAT cracked, lol

[@kaijukisser]

my crack ship from my oldest fandom days was karkat from homestuck x fluttershy my reasoning? karkat just needed someone to be patient with him for once-

[@angelsartandgaming]

I had shipped Eridan x Pinkie Pie because of The Sims. Back in Sims 3, I made the trolls as well as the mane 6 (humanized because I didn't know how to do mods and I wanted to do my own human interpretations. This was before Equestria Girls existed). And Eridan and Pinkie Pie ended up together and they ended up getting married. No kids though.

[@kaijukisser]

@@angelsartandgaming MY PEOPLE

[@saphirestorm7952]

[@lachouette_et_le_phoque]

sounds cathartic for some :D

[@annebosch7475]

The Hozier lyric title for the Bruce Wayne/Totoro fic really is the cherry on top 😂 Maybe I'm just immune to it after almost 20 years of being in the fandom, but Phoenix Wright/Gordon Ramsay isn't that strange. The Ace Attorney kinkmeme on LJ was a garden of delights and horrors back in the day.

[@catsfishies]

this released on my birthday, right after i got back into ace attorney/fanfics. i refuse to believe this isn't a conspiratorial development

[@angelsartandgaming]

Honestly half of my own favorite crackships come from either The Sims or Tomodachi Life because I let it happen. I want the chaos!

[@KatanaNovaCat]

* suddenly remembers that in Tomodachi Life, Twilight Sparkle and Bill Cipher got married to each other, and Derpy Hooves is dating Arnold Rimmer *

[@angelsartandgaming]

@KatanaNovaCat I also have ponies and Bill Cipher (along with some other Gravity Falls characters) in my old Tomodachi Life. Bill Cipher ended up with an OC of mine that has nothing to do with Gravity Falls. I think my favorite crackship out of that island was my "lookalike" which is a cat mii I've had since the Wii days named Neko (Yes, a cat named cat. real creative) and the Warden from Superjail. I have made so many jokes about how he married a talking cat.

[@KatanaNovaCat]

@@angelsartandgaming The cat thing reminds me, I'm pretty sure Dave from Homestuck was dating a dinosaur last time I played (The dinosaur Mii is there purely because I made a Mii of an OC, overhauled the OC and changed their gender in the process, couldn't change the Mii's gender, and changed the Mii into a dinosaur instead.)

[@saphirestorm7952]

This is how all my Cookie Run ships came to be but with Cookie Run Kingdom instead, my kingdom had so many couples and families like the throuple of Princess/Chili Pepper/Black Raven, and Licorice and Pastry being married and having adopted Onion, and Dark Choco having adopted Squid Ink

any ship with william afton in it is terrifying, as i learned from my 3 or so years in the fnaf fandom

[@commercialairliner]

I remember the time I watched two movies based on The Three Musketeers (Barbie and the Three Musketeers, the 1993 Three Musketeers movie) and shipped the main villains from the two movies (Philippe and Cardinal Richelieu respectively) because they seemed so similar. I'm talking about their red clothing, their same actors, their similar motives. I'm telling you, this was a match made in hell.

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

I suddenly feel boring about my weird crackship. I mean, it’s definitely cracky, but they’re both from the same fandom and conventionally attractive…

[@saphirestorm7952]

Mine don't fit either but like honestly some of these are weirder than "doll lover x sentient doll" and "tsundere x tsundere"

@SacabambaspisEYS I had to look it up, but it's called "Use The Sleeves of My Sweater (Let's have an adventure)". It's on ao3, and apparently the author wrote a second fic with that ship.

[@erzavermillion]

Nahhh, Who the hell posted that 😭 FOUL 💀

[@KatanaNovaCat]

Apparently the summary ends with "I have too much free time on my hands and decided to make God cry" and the tags include "if you see this and you know me irl no you didn't" and "I mean it if you know me irl do NOT bring this up when you talk to me". ...Understandable, just like the fic isn't
