HERDING CATS IS A BLESSING OK... i havent read it in forever and id really like to reread it at some point but. pitch catfish good.
The writer I guess rebooted it? Hasn't updated in a few months but after Epilogue stuff I guess they decided to fix some pairing stuff and retool the interactions. Less smutty, more character focused. I'd say check it out because it lays early groundwork for pitch FefKan, pale EriGam, AND pale Teradia a lot better than the original did and also implies Hearts Boxcars is in the narrative driver's meta seat which makes a lot of sense in hindsight.
To get all 12 trolls into the perfect shipping grid of every quadrant fulfilled there's some crazy rarepairs to make it work!
I'l add one more Rarepair for Eridan: EriRoxy. Glorious wwixards!
They have a lot in common! Wizards! Scarves! Rifles!

equius <3 vriska (neigh8ors) is underrated as fuck

Eh, I prefer Equius <3< Vriska
i've always struggled when pondering eq blackrom because i feel like he has trouble mustering genuine hate for people, either because he's too nice deep down or because he's too tangled up in himself

I personally don't think blackrom is the same thing as straight-up hatred. Terezi gives a good summary of it in the epilogues. Alternian society is particularly brutal so of course it's culturally pushed in that direction but I believe the natural way trolls would experience it is well within Equius's capabilities.

idk it works for me
stems from the phrase "deuce has a prospitian wife and they love each other very much" and then my brain went "what if she was the queen :0"
plus the idea that this prim and proper leader of a dead nation falling in love with a dorky jester who has like 60% of an idea of what he's doing at any point who only wants to make her laugh makes my heart melt
Another one isn't exactly a rarepair, but the way I see it sounds unique from the people I talked to over time: SS<3/<3<08
Most people ship it fully red or fully pitch, but I like to see them as in a stable vaccilating relationship. Stable in the sense that they've been together and vaccilating for so long that they found a dynamic between the two of them that works both ways, and they don't need an auspistice to balance them back into pitch territory. Love and hate meet halfway through the quadrants, in a way.

that's why I added the "too tangled up in himself" part-- I think he'd struggle with it in the sense that his partner might end up having issues with him because of the horseboy getting wrapped up either in his own sexuality or in the complications of his psychology.

idk why but my first impulse for rairs is dadships. but i also headcanon dad to be aroace. anyway.
dadglare. dad and redglare. they meet in court re: cirque du soleil restraining order.
dadless. dad and signless. karkat is john's abrasive new stepbrother struggling with not being the cherished baby of the family.
signless and spades slick. gee karkat how come AUs let you have TWO dads? i have really thought this through even less than any of the others.
That's a seriously good one. completely fucking unbeatable gamer couple... can you imagine going to a party where both of them are also invited. the potential material [chefs kiss] magnifique
Can you guys please tell me which one of my ships are rarepairs? I'm confused.
>no john/kanaya in any way, shape or form
>but theres john/condy

Something that shouldn't be a rarepair but is: John/Junevrisrezi.
It seems SO obvious to me, but there's like NOTHING for it! It's a polyship where every single member has expressed actual real canonical attraction to each other, the constituent ships are all still relatively popular, where's all the good poly shit?
Now. Ones that I'm not at ALL surprised are rarepairs would be Rose <3< Vriska and Roxy <3 Latula. Gamer girls gotta stick together.

Dirkkri is my biggest rarepair in that I think it actually should become canon. I love the parallels to Davekat and how they're both insufferable boys!
My OTP is Roxygen, which is surprisingly rare considering that it actually happens. I don't consider it a "rarepair"(TM)(C)(R) though.
I'll ship Nepeta with the whole cast. Same with Sollux. Any ship with Nepeta and Sollux instantly has my attention.

Ao3 gives me 43 fanfics with june/vriska and 48 with june/terezi, most of them being the three of them at the same time, so there you go, a full day worth of reading.

I've said it from their first interaction and I stand by it. When it happened in the candy route, I squealed like a little girl.

Jade <3/<3< Vriska (vacillating desu)
Character who struggles with losing narrative relevance vs character who struggles with the narrative’s removal of their autonomy
Plus Vriska likes mean girls and Jade can be mean af if you anger her

Another one: John/Junerezi which should NOT be a rarepair but somehow is, anyway. There’s a whole lot to their relationship and their interactions are some of the most fun in the series. I have a bunch to say on them but instead of rambling I’ll just say. They good.
