I feel like the usage of the term “crack ship” has changed. When I think “crack ship”, I don’t think ‘these two characters have good chemistry and would be good together, but it’s not going to happen, so it’s crack", I think Loki/Gordon Ramsay
There’s a big difference between rarepair and crackship.
‘these two characters have good chemistry and would be good together, but it’s not going to happen’ is a non-canon ship (Ron Weasley/Harry Potter)
a rarepair is a ship that isn’t popular (Ron Weasley/Dean Thomas)
a crackship requires everyone around you ask wtf you were smoking (Ron Weasley/The Whomping Willow)
Lets please put the crack back in crackship
The only mainstream crackship left in the world is Johnny bravo and samurai jack
The most egregious iteration of this I’ve ever heard was from a friend, who was in her doctor’s office waiting room, and when the nurse called her name, she started to get up, but then another, older woman did.
And she kind of thought “Oh, weird,” but she does have a relatively common first name so she didn’t think that much about it.
A few minutes later the nurse reappears and exasperatedly calls my friend’s name again.
The other woman had decided to try to pretend to be her in order to get in to see the doctor faster.
