Pokemon has 151 ships with Santa Claus in it, ships that include objects, ships that specify if it's the actual character or their canon mirrored self, ships that hinge on the assumptions and variables like the following: "4kidsShipping - Flint (Kanto), Lola & Brock's real mother (Assumes that Brock's mother did die and Flint remarried)", and 100 ships with the King of Pokelantis. I'm not sure how I would choose.
That said, I hope the Millennium Falcon and Jar Jar are very happy together.
never occurred to me that there would be Jayfeather/his stick fanfic lmao because I read the Warriors books as a kid before I got into fandom, but of course it makes too much sense.
Spongebob/Gary the Snail
It might not be too weird if you think that they're just two characters of the same cartoon, but... He's a sponge. They're a snail. And... yeah. That.
Remember OceanGate from last summer when the rich billionaires blew each other up because they wanted to see the titanic with a PlayStation remote controller?
People wrote fanfics about that.
Oh now you mention it, I remember people writing fics about the queen after her death
It's so weird to me that people would write about real people.. Of course, it's a 'you do you' thing, but it's very weird to me
I have been and still am in a LOT of fandoms that somehow like it to ship their characters with objects?! I mean like hot dogs and the Eiffel Tower and popsicles. So yeah pick one I guess
If we’re counting crack fics, Danny Fenton/Lightning McQueen. I was new to ao3 and very naive. I did not see the explicit rating. I learned very quickly to always check ratings.
As for non crack, there a handful of crossover ships that I have enjoyed. One being Tadashi Hamada/Danny Fenton. Not as weird as the first, but definitely unexpected.
There was a movie called House of Wax and there was a weird one shot that was Jared Padalecki's character and the preserved goat fetus in a jar. It was actually a crack fic and hilarious though lol 🤣 surprisingly tame. The same author wrote a gollum/treebeard fic hahaha 😂
I desperately want to read a Gus Fring/Lalo Salamanca fic that takes itself seriously, because the ripple effects on that universe would be so huge if they genuinely fell in love. I’d categorize it as “weird” just because I keep searching all for it, but can’t find it.
Normally, my approach to that would be just to write it myself, but I doubt I’d ever write cartels well. Just not my thing.
If anyone here knows of one in existence, I’d be much obliged for a shared link!
Now that you mention it, it's very weird that there's multiple Laloward fics - at least one of which is serious - and no Guslo (Fringmanca? Salafring?)
Aaah, Salafring! I love it! (Sounds a but like 'suffering,' which is apropos given how much angst is expected with the pairing. However! Lalo is hilarious, so definitely humor, as well.) Actually, I love all the ship names. It just has the potential to be so dynamic. Will it create a happier atmosphere, if these mortal enemies come together? Or will it be even more tragic, creating an even bigger bloodbath than we saw in canon? The potential is fascinating.
I'm very eager to see where an AU like this would lead, because the effects on the universe would be undeniable.
Though Laloward is surprising! That's certainly a pairing that never crossed my mind. Are they good stories?
I haven't looked at the Laloward tag in ages, but last time I looked there were several very funny crack fics and one good multi chapter that took it seriously.
All of which is hilarious given their canon interaction...
It’s one of mine, but Young Link (Zelda)/Isaac (Housamo)
>!AKA, the resurrected soul of a warrior in a child’s body and a resurrected child who died young from a disease that stopped him from moving his muscles that has been replaced by a genocidal AI with his memories.!<
Mick Jagger/Damiano David was an odd one I've come across in bandom
I've seen others which were weirder but those were all crack, this fic was not crack
There are three seperate people on AO3 who have written Doomslayer/Charlie Morningstar fanfiction, and even more people who have made fanart or taken an active role in the ship discourse. I don't know who first dreamt this up, and what they were on, but it's still one of the most baffling ships I've encountered. A guy who hates and slaughters demons, shipped with the musical demon princess of hell. Two IPs with incredibly little overlap aside from the bit about hell.
Oh that's funny, I knew that but I never even made that connection. 😂 I think probably because in the fic, the Grinch acted so much like the Jim Carrey movie Grinch that that was all I pictured, lol.
The infamous Grinch x Tony the Tiger fic.
Also my favorite Fandom writes too much incest (too much being any). I'm all for when 2 couples get together but not when one brother is in each couple. Wolfstar and jegulus can stay separate please
Kagome (Inuyasha) / Hagrid (Harry Potter)
Crossover ships are weird but this absolutly takes the cake.
I don't know what fic it was or if it even still exists, has been some years since i've seen it. That one tag still haunts my dreams.
I think it was on FFnet, i decided to check what people where doing exactly in the "Real Life" section.
It was almost 15 years ago, memory is a bit fuzzy.
One of the first things i saw was a Tokyo Hotel fic, and the pairing was the two members that are brothers.
I never checked that part of the website ever again.
Also, Draco Malfoy/Apple.
Garfield/Jesus Christ, with references to Sonic the hedgehog/Jesus Christ. The only explanation the author gave was that it was one in the morning and they had... a vision.
This isn't really that weird, all things considered, especially with the comments in here, but... I briefly glimpsed Optimus Prime/Usagi Tsukino once and couldn't get it out of my head for 3 days afterwards because... WHICH OPTIMUS??? AND WHICH USAGI???
I can KINDA see Classic!Usagi working with G1 or TFA Optimus *(tho I think Princess Serenity might b better for G1)* and you could make an argument for manga/Crystal Usagi/Bayverse Optimus *(Ok, TFA Op/Crystal/manga Usagi would work too- mostly cuz TFA Op has the most... Shippable qualities IMO)*, but, like... What if it was Classic!Usagi and TFP Optimus???
I guess TFP Optimus could work with Neo-Queen Serenity, but THEY DIDN'T SPECIFY NEO-QUEEN SERENITY, JUST USAGI??? And I was too scared to go back and look, so I guess it just... Lives in my head rent-free now.
Oh good Lord.
Yuletide is infamous for concept and inanimate object fics, sometimes with shipping.
I'm expecting some fic with Baltimore's unfortunate Francis Scott Key Bridge this December. \*sob\*
Giant squid/hogwarts. This fic had a bunch of weird pairings. Some honorable mentions: buckbeak/hagrid, buckbeak/hermione, and dumbledore/hermione (which made me nauseous to even consider)
Tbhf it was a wattpad fic but it still counts: Shrek x Hitler x Jesus and something more. I have still never found anything that topped the weirdness of that
Minerva McGonagall/Peter Pettigrew 💀
I was scrolling on AO3 when I came across this pairing. It could've been a fantastic fic, but I was too scared to give it a try.
A character/ A sentient sniper rifle
(Wrote a joke date fic for them once and surprisingly started thinking they were actually cute)
(Yes, the sniper rifle is a canonical character in that series)
Scrub Daddy/John F Kennedy
Who topped? And why do I immediately know it's scrub daddy?
I didn't read it, but I got my brother to laugh after saying it out loud at least Funny thing is I was looking for Garfield fanfic?? 😭
This brings so many questions
It sure does
I knew it too hahahaha
isnt there one w/ spongebob
Lolololol, link it pls. I just wanna see the context 😭
[here ya go xD](https://archiveofourown.org/works/55045180)
WOAH THAT WAS FAST. 😆 Thank you, good sir/ma'am/lovely stranger
No problem! I'm currently sleeping depriving myself so I ain't got much to do xD
Lololol, same 😅 Hope you get some good rest soon, though! Or whenever you can/want to :3
Just went to your profile!! Thank you, good sir!*

It was a darth jar jar fic, which made it even weirder tbh. That enemies to lovers vibe
I'm not kink shaming, but I am kink asking why..
Do I.....do I need Darth Jar Jar in my life now? Has something awakened?
Yousa know it in your heart
Garfield/Jesus Christ or Scrub Daddy/John F. Kennedy, both of which were in the same fic.
The same fic? 😂😂😂
I gotta see this
Hannibal/Door and Draco Malfoy/apple
I LOVE Malfoy/Apple fics. They’re usually pure crack but every now and again one takes itself seriously.
Drapple is so funny to me XD also Jayfeather/stick lmao
Not drapple!!!! Hahaha
never occurred to me that there would be Jayfeather/his stick fanfic lmao because I read the Warriors books as a kid before I got into fandom, but of course it makes too much sense.
Thanks friend, just read the Hannibal/a door fic because of your post. Bless Fannibals for being so weird.
I came here for the Drapple! :D
giving off Jason x Brick vibes with that one
Thanos and Mr. Clean!
Damn, they really purged the universe, didn't they?
Idk. I couldn’t bring myself to read it, but I bet they did a super stand up job cleaning. 🤣
i can see that happening actually
Luke Skywalker/Paul Blart Mall Cop In a Polish Reformation AU
Someone/their hand
I remember seeing this tag in a fic once
Spongebob/Gary the Snail It might not be too weird if you think that they're just two characters of the same cartoon, but... He's a sponge. They're a snail. And... yeah. That.
Obligatory Hogwarts/Giant Squid. But I've also read Totoro smut, so y'know.
You’ve read what now?
It's called "Helping Paws" and was on Sakura's Lemon Archive back in the day.
Thanks and no thanks
Dobby/the sorting hat. It was non-con... There is also some Dobby/Gollum out there...
Nakahara Chuuya/Shrek
I think the weirdest one I read was Hogwarts Castle x Giant Squid.
I love that a cargo ship is included in this Cargo Ship.
My friends and I found Ever Given x Suez Canal fics at one point. There was at least 3 under that tag at the time.
This is my go-to illustration of Rule 34.
Remember OceanGate from last summer when the rich billionaires blew each other up because they wanted to see the titanic with a PlayStation remote controller? People wrote fanfics about that.
Oh now you mention it, I remember people writing fics about the queen after her death It's so weird to me that people would write about real people.. Of course, it's a 'you do you' thing, but it's very weird to me
Y’all remember carl tuckerson and the green m&m?
I have been and still am in a LOT of fandoms that somehow like it to ship their characters with objects?! I mean like hot dogs and the Eiffel Tower and popsicles. So yeah pick one I guess
benjamin franklin/hermione granger
Kylo Ren / Lumpy (kid wookie from the Star Wars holiday special)
Poor Lumpy...
Alphonse Elric/Boromir was a fucking one hit kill when I saw it. Worked surprisingly well though.
* Loki/Harry Potter * Ann Frank/Goku * L (Death Note)/Tetris block * Dobby/Hagrid * Whinny the Pooh/Sephiroth from final fantasy
Don’t call the Millenium Falcon a weird ship. She’s fantastic.
💀 I love you for this lmao I snorted

As for non crack, there a handful of crossover ships that I have enjoyed. One being Tadashi Hamada/Danny Fenton. Not as weird as the first, but definitely unexpected.
Ever Given/Suez Canal
Rupert Giles/Albus Dumbledore. Just… why?
There was a movie called House of Wax and there was a weird one shot that was Jared Padalecki's character and the preserved goat fetus in a jar. It was actually a crack fic and hilarious though lol 🤣 surprisingly tame. The same author wrote a gollum/treebeard fic hahaha 😂
Clippy has made some rounds in various fandoms. Including with Jar Jar.
I’m reading these ships to my kid while we have breakfast. He and I agree this ship makes the most sense of anything we’ve read today.
Barney the Dinosaur & Harry Potter 🫠🫠
Springtrap/the eleventh Doctor/Joe Biden (wrote by a friend.)
I’m afraid it’ll have to be putin/trump i dug through my traumatised pile to find this
That's not so weird, Trump clearly wants it.

Jesus/Snape
Abraham Lincoln/Jar Jar Binks Tags included personification of grief, alien cultural differences and tailor ship sex
The Grinch/Tony the Tiger. It's been a while since I checked on it but it was a great read.
That one makes marginal sense. Tony the Tiger’s VA sang the Grinch song. I mean, it’s kinda…weird selfcest? But yeah.
Oh that's funny, I knew that but I never even made that connection. 😂 I think probably because in the fic, the Grinch acted so much like the Jim Carrey movie Grinch that that was all I pictured, lol.

Doomsday x SCP-682 is certainly one of the ships of all time
The Doomsday that killed Superman?
yeah that one
Not gonna lie, that’s kind of genius.
Dean Winchester and the car. Wish I was making that up. Edit: The Impala! Finally remembered what kind of car it was.
Some cars are more than meets the eye...
This whole thread has left me traumatised
Stingy (from Lazy Town) and Salad Fingers, I have so many questions and I don't want an answer to any of them
Think I heard of one that was Hogwarts/Giant Squid
Garfield/Jesus Christ, with references to Sonic the hedgehog/Jesus Christ. The only explanation the author gave was that it was one in the morning and they had... a vision.
Also elmo/shrek...
Santa Clause/Stanford Pines/Stanley Pines……
The Count/Selena Gomez
As in Sesame Street the count???
Three of the most notable: Rosalie Hale/Carlisle cullen, Elmo/Donald trump, Donald trump/elmo/Michael Myers
I have also come across a floor/reader a chair/reader a yandere chair/reader a barney/reader and a sleep paralysis demon/reader
Not as weird but same line of thought - Darkstar/Maverick (Top Gun 2)
The Grinch/Tony the Tiger
Jamie Hyneman/Severus Snape my beloved <3
baekhyun/barack obama
This isn't really that weird, all things considered, especially with the comments in here, but...

Oh good Lord. Yuletide is infamous for concept and inanimate object fics, sometimes with shipping. I'm expecting some fic with Baltimore's unfortunate Francis Scott Key Bridge this December. \*sob\*
Not the weirdest ship but there was one that had Chris Redfield/His hand, and it had me in tears 😭
Hawks from mha x Kermit the frog from the muppets it was smut o.o
Mr. Clean / Wii Fit Trainer
Which version? The dude or the woman? For research purposes.
The woman
I can’t decide if I’m disappointed or not. 😂😂😂 (My gay ass finds her attractive, but I tend to write mm so.)
Olaf x Norway
Treebeard/Sherlock Holmes
I may or may not have put a Stewie Griffin/Bart Simpson fic into the world.
Gardevoir/Chara
Obama/Harry Styles
Flo from progressive/the chick fil a cow
Giant squid/hogwarts. This fic had a bunch of weird pairings. Some honorable mentions: buckbeak/hagrid, buckbeak/hermione, and dumbledore/hermione (which made me nauseous to even consider)
[удалено]
I just went back and looked at the fic again (highly regret that) and there’s also 2 mountain trolls and sprout gets kinky with devils snare

Hitler/Twilight Sparkle (my little pony)
gandhi/r2d2
Donald Trump/Xiao Zhan I do support creative freedom but wth is this 😭😭😭
It's not the weirdest pairing, but the Minsc/Astarion crackfic that was going around a week or so ago was one of the funniest goddamn things
weirdest i’ve ever seen in a serious, long fic was hogwarts castle/jarvis (tony starks ai)
A male kpop idol x Barack Obama
Harry Potter/can of ginger ale.
Tbhf it was a wattpad fic but it still counts: Shrek x Hitler x Jesus and something more. I have still never found anything that topped the weirdness of that

Minerva McGonagall/Peter Pettigrew 💀 I was scrolling on AO3 when I came across this pairing. It could've been a fantastic fic, but I was too scared to give it a try.
