Welcome, strangers on the web. If you were a nerd on the internet within the last twenty years, you are likely no stranger to crack ships - fan pairings of two characters who have a less than zero percent chance to ever become canon. Sometimes these pairings are impossible because the characters are enemies, never met in the story, or are actually from different fandoms. Tumblr veterans may remember such pairings as Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians with Elsa from Frozen.
Much like Tumblr was the birthplace for insane fandom content in the 2010s, TikTok is the Gen Z hub for out-of-left-field inside jokes and senseless memes that have the potential to go viral and seep their way into the mainstream. The original Sukuna x Cinderella video by @cloudstrifesimp on TikTok is currently sitting at 3.2 million views and has spawned edits of the two unrelated and totally opposite characters set to romantic music, fan fiction, a really well-crafted shōjo romance comic, and lots of fan art. If this is intriguing - in a good or bad way - to you, enjoy these illustrations below.
