[mcyt-rarepair-tournament]

Welcome to the MCYT Rarepair tournament!

Welcome, welcome! This is the MCYT rarepair brackets, where we shall pit our little guys against eachother whilst they hold hands <3

Just to get a few things out of the way:

What is a rarepair by your definition?

In this bracket, a rarepair is a pair that is not very popular by any sort of imagination. When you send me a pairing, I will check Tumblr, Ao3, and a few other places to see what is there. If I deem it rare enough, I will let it into the brackets!

2. What do you do that determines a rarepair?

First, I look at fandom size, mainly on Ao3. The size of a fandom determines a LOT. For example, if a fandom has 600,000 works and your pairing has 40-50, that's rare enough! If a fandom has 700 works, however, and your pair has 40-50, it's probably pretty popular in that fandom, and thus won't count.

3. What if my pairing has no content?

Well, first, I'm so sorry. I've been there. Second, it counts! Your pair is probably VERY rare, lol. The MCYT fandom doesn't place a lot of stock in romantic pairings, so it's not uncommon for a rarepair to have zero works.

4. Isn't this similar to crackships?

Sort of! Rarepairs and crackships can interact quite a bit! A rarepair is a pairing that is, well, rare. So two characters can interact in canon and have good chemistry but not get much attention as a pairing by the fandom. Similarly, a crackship can be absolutely wild, crossover-ship stuff, but still get notice and art by the fandom. See? Not quite the same, but they certainly have some overlap. If it's rare, it's a good enough pair here.

5. How long will submissions and polls last?

Dunno! The submission part, at least. It all depends on how much attention this tournament gets, y'know? Might take some time. Polls, however, will last a week. I might adjust it if some people need more time if they want to make propaganda.

6. What fandoms in the MCYT community are you taking from?

All of them! I do not discriminate by fandoms, though I can't promise I'll know your guys. Even stuff that was discontinued or unfinished, like TFTSMP, will be accepted.

With all that out of the way, let the submissions begin!

Also, quick disclaimer: This blog was in the works before it came out that the content creator Wilbur Soot was an abuser. While I believe in separating the characters from the content creators, I understand if people can't vote for his characters right now or make propaganda. As such, I will not be taking pairs with any character of Wilbur Soot's. Peace and love, and be sure to Shubscribe. Don't you wanna be a Shubster? It's one of the coolest subscriber titles, you know.

There are more Law/Sanji works than Gin/Sanji. This is a travesty.

when you go on ao3 because two characters made you sit up and go "...oh??" and then you find out there's 50 fics or less

#this should be illegal #why does it keep happening to me #rarepair hell

Based of that one meme!

P. S. - Please ignore the fact that images don’t align, they had five scenes together 😭🤧

“There’s a pop song about you, yeah!"

“IT’S NOT ABOUT ME!”

or,

Leon Kennedy writes a song about a girl without even knowing her name, and now said-girl's bandmates won't stop being insufferable about it.

sometimes your brain just decides it's gonna ship one of your faves with a character that literally does not exist anymore and you kinda just have to live with that

I realize that since Lightcannon is a lot less rarepair-y post-Arcane, and WenClair and Sylvaina never were, my penchant for rarepairs and crackships is now less well-known so here's some of my more off the wall fics I'm proud of!

Renataphine (Renata/Seraphine) - League of Legends

Cherry Wine

Fresh from her collaboration with K/DA, Seraphine finds herself struggling in the world of music out from under the wings of the breakout idols who found her. Unwilling to allow an investment to fail, her producer brings in a veteran manager to push Seraphine to where she needs to be to succeed. That's assuming Seraphine doesn't kill her first.

Lux/Illaoi (feat. Trans Lux) - League of Legends

Test of Spirit (Series)

Eluxar Crownguard has always chosen to present female in his disguises when on-mission for the Radiant. He would never admit how much more comfortable it is to be known as 'Luxanna' to anyone he knows. However, when Eluxar's latest mission brings him face-to-face with the Truthbearer of Nagakabouros, he will be forced to choose. Drown or Swim?

Celestine/Greyfax - Warhammer 40k

Saintsbride (Series)

Following their flight from Holy Terra aboard a warship of the Adeptus Custodes after the destruction of the Cathedral of Saint Thor, and lacking anything productive to occupy her time, Katarinya Greyfax finds herself seeking solace at the bottom of a decanter of amasec until she is interrupted by her companion, the Living Saint Celestine, who is concerned for the Inquisitor's health and stability. Perhaps she shall find a measure of both in the arms of the Saint.

My personal observation of Sandman Netflix ships and the fans:

- Dreamling: Morpheus/Hob

- Corintheus: Morpheus/Corinthian

- Morphienne/LucidDreaming: Morpheus/Lucienne

- Morphanna: Morpheus/Johanna

- Dreamingstar: Morpheus/Lucifer

And where am I, you might ask? Of course I'm at the rarepair bottom 💀
