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)
There, at the very edge of relevant existence, are two beings so intertwined they could not hope to survive should they be forced apart. Functionally, they are conjoined twins, made not by choice but nature itself. As one weaves it’s way across the earth, the other follows in tune, taking no offense to the sudden motions, as though they, too, have set such a velocity. It is at the ticking of a clock, whose rate mirrors that of infinitesimal action, the weaver becomes the weaved. They are a perfect pendulum. The foundation by which they’re held taut formed of immeasurable trust. And, through every movement, every bob and sway, one thing remains constant: they are so deeply, desperately, unequivocally in love, and they will never know it.
