TEAM SHUFFLE POST THE LAST

[hso_mods]

Hey, shippers! We're getting very close to the start of the challenge, so we wanted to give everyone a last chance to get on their team! You must join a confirmed team by 11:59 PM June 1st, or you will not be able to participate. If you are currently on an unconfirmed team, that means it's time for you to start looking for those couple last members in earnest, or find a new team that you can call home.

If you're determined to write for your ultra-rare ship, there's always the Alchemiter teams! But otherwise, I've posted a list of open and nearly-confirmed teams below.

Join Team Bro♥Grandpa!

[gjarble]

Hi, everyone! Team Bro♥Grandpa could still use all the support we can get! We've got 3 slots open, and we're perfect for anyone who missed out on Dirk♥Jake, loves awkward age differences, or just wants to have a good time filled with love and lulz!

Also, while we are a 7-person team, we're still waiting for word of confirmation from some members. So, if you join now, you might be the person that saves us from limbo!

Re: Join Team Bro♥Grandpa!

[gjarble]

Update: We're definitely not in limbo now. This ship is safe to sail! However, the fact remains that we'll be a great place to go if you have to jump ship and don't know where to turn. They're old, they're awesome, and they're a goldmine of potential!

Condesce hearts Handmaid Needs YOU!

[ashkatom]

Hi shippers! Let's get down to business. You see that post up there ^^^ and where it says Condesce<3Handmaid is an unconfirmed team with five members? YOU could help us confirm and/or fill up (!!!) our team!

Reasons you should join:
- You're in a team with 3 or less members.
I love rarepairs! I ship many a rarepair! This IS a rarepair! Obviously you love rarepairs too, but sadly your team is probably not going to make it unless you're really good at brainwashing :(. Join us instead and ship an awesome rarepair with cool people! Also brainwash your friends into joining too 0u0!
- Cool people!
We currently have a really awesome mix of writers and artists on the team! There's me, Choco, Specs, Ferret, and Daniereii who must have changed her Tumblr name because I can't find her. But yeah! Come, join your talents with ours.
- Ancestors
We all know ancestors are badass.
- There is not enough fanart for these guys.
I'm aware of one Condesce/Handmaid fic and, uh, I wrote it :T. Let's give these two the fan creations they deserve!
- Other reasons!
The original recruitment post is here if you want more reasons to ship these lovely ladies with worrying pasts.

Please consider joining us! We are very friendly people and would love to have you.

[dragon_bagon]

Hey guys if condesce♥handmaid and disciple♥psiioniic♥sufferer don't make it into the HSO I will shed a single tear of inky black sadness. You are warned.

[yaichiko]

one (or more) of you guys should join dave<3vriska because wow cuties and they're both ''''hardcore'''' and perfect please confirm that team wow they're rly adorable i will be really upset if they don't get confirmed

also come down and join bro<3grandpa if you're more of a sexy old man that hikes a lot<3young attractive perverted guy with a website, we'd love to have you -u-

[fauns]

hey guys! if you're looking for a new team we would love to have you over on aradia<>dave and i'm GOING TO TELL YOU WHY IN MY BEST USED-CAR-SALESMAN VOICE

* i can't speak for myself obviously but we have some really TALENTED and all around COOL people on this team that i personally am really excited to work with!!
* dave and aradia are both really cool characters wouldn't they be even better TOGETHER
* sadly there's not a lot of fanworks for these two out there and most of them depict them flushed! YOU could be the cool guy that makes the defining fanwork that draws the shippers in in droves, wouldn't that be neat
* aradia and dave fit together in a lot of ways! they are both heroes of time which comes with a lot of unique challenges--dying a ton of times, for one. can you imagine dave and aradia going through the dreambubbles and shooshpapping all their doomed counterparts? I CAN AND IT'S PRETTY CUTE.
* the conversation with doomed!dave and aradia in the dreambubble, even though it wasn't the "main" dave, was hells of cute and definitely worth a reread if you're wondering how these two would interact (awesomely).
* they are literally two dorks in matching outfits that are obsessed with dead things (remember dave's jarred specimens?) and probably go around poking them with sticks, how can't you ship them.
* you can also refer to this silly powerpoint thing i made i guess

so yeah!!
if aradia<>dave seems like your kind of corpse party COME ON DOWN

[binners]

i'm gonna repost my previous bribery offer

even though we're a confirmed team now it still stands!

join us
it's bliss

--------

Let's get down to brass tacks. The FINAL COUNTDOWN is coming up and it's time I started getting serious about hauling some of you onto this beautiful ride we call TIMERAILS.

IF you switch from a team that will likely not get confirmed to team TIMERAILS, I will write you a fanfic for your previous pairing. Your prompt. Not even for a bonus round.

This fanfic will be yours and yours alone. Your own personal fiction! For you! You can ask that it be posted to AO3 or tumblr, or keep it to your own private self forever. Your call!

This offer will be NULL AND VOID if team Timerails is not confirmed by JUNE 1st, 4PM EST. SO GET ON IT.

If you want some examples of my writing, I am SORD on AO3.

Join grandhighblood<3<summoner! :)

[rainbowpui]

Come on who can resist the snarky hate romance? We have a great team of kind people and I'm sure you'd enjoy it on our team!
We don't have a lot of fanwork but what we do have is pretty good! I know that if you joined out team you wouldn't regret it :)

Re: Join grand highblood♠summoner! :)

[siadea]

* Show the black quadrant some love! Hatesex is the best sex! Yeah!!

* When else are you going to get the chance to write what's basically Peter Pan♠Crocodile?

* You want kink? We got kink. You want snark? We got so much snark, you don't even know. Let us show you.

* Ancestors mean never having to say you're sorry! all your headcanons are correct until Hussie'd!

Team Equius<3Tavros

[cygna_hime]

We are hanging in LIMBO, and as everyone familiar with Earth human theology knows, that is a downright unpleasant place to be. One or two more people could save us from this ignominious end!

Why should those people be YOU?

1. Small pairings are great! You don't have to feel like every possible story has already been written!
2. Do you want an opportunity to feel smugly good about yourself? Of course you do! Everyone does!
3. Dancing girls provided on request.

But why pick this pairing to rescue?

1. WATCH as awkward troll boys try and fail to convey romantic interest in each other in a coherent manner!
2. CHEER as they somehow, possibly with prompt cards held up by helpful moirails offstage, manage to construct a simple sentence in each other's presence!
3. OGLE as they...well. As they engage in a variety of OGLE-WORTHY ACTIVITIES!

Thank you and good day!

Re: Team Equius<3Tavros

[awillowweeping]

COME ON PEOPLE~

[waywarddesertknight]

Do you like adventure on the high seas? Want to help sail a redrom on an ocean-going vessel? Then consider team Dolorosa<3Mindfang!

Top three reasons you should join:

1. It's an open ended ship, go wild with where the prompts take you.
2. Mindfang, the most awesome pirate on the high seas and the Dolorosa, the coolest mom ever.
3. Have fun and hang out with your teammates while talking about Mindfang and the Dolorosa.

If you like any of these things, or have your own reasons, please come join us. We'd love to have you!

Thanks!

[anordinarything]

I'd like to join your team. I'm currently on one of the Alchemiter teams. I'm sending an email to the administrators now.

Just one more to confirm!

Ok, let me get this straight
Hmmm
Well, I think if I had to explain why I like this couple, I would post where my first though of this pairing (and in my case, any pairing, really) was born

Ok, after that
I'd show this banner made on bonus round 0 courtesy of spritetacular uwu




And if you weren't convinced, I tell you, we have a nice team o7o!
And we have enough members to make you sure we will make it~

And if you aren't conviced yet, here is my last weapon!

Join Team Jake♥Terezi! (8

[theycallmeruthless]

Yup, you read correctly! Team Jakezi has three open spots and there are a good handful of reasons why you should totally consider hopping on board.

First, let's bring this back.



HERE IS WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN S.S. JAKE<3TEREZI:

• Jake likes cerulean women
• Terezi is not cerulean but maybe he’s colorblind or something
• Omg if he’s colorblind and she’s blind they’d be a partially-blind duo AND HEY WAIT SHE CAN ONLY “SEE” COLORS
• WAAAAH THAT’S SO CUTE OMG okay headcanon Jake is colorblind
• Oh yeah uh… everyone is in love with them?
• Idk it’d be very BAMF-y if they just made out or something like HAHA FUCK YOU I’M DATING THE PERSON YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH
• Mutual interest: Striders. Yes.
• Terezi seems like an adventurous person sometimes? They can roleplay and smooch into the sunset or whatever
• They’d be awful for eachother but idk it’s cute.

Okay, so those are terrible reasons and I never did get to make a powerpoint but there are actual perks to joining our team!



• You don't need to be spectacular at anything.
• You'll help establish the basis and the general fanon for the possible up-and-coming ship.
• They're such a rare pair that there's no going wrong!
• We've climbed up from "god what drug were you taking when you thought of that ship" to "wow that is a really rare pair". In other words, our characters have actually met in canon. They haven't spoken to each other yet, but soon!
• Jake and Terezi are both pretty awesome!
• They have a couple of things in common, so we have something to build from.
• We have an interesting combination of characters that could play off each other really well or really badly (in the best way).
• You'd have a palhoncho who tries to take care of their team and makes these obnoxiously long posts that no one reads goddammit I work hard sdkljslsda D:

Give us a look! (:


[Art credit for the second banner goes to angiie of Team Dave<3Jade. Thanks again!]

Hey Boys and Girls?

[rexi]

Do you like rare ships? Got a soft spot for OT3's? Love fluff with a splash of snark? Why not join Team Fef<3Eri<3Sol! We're looking for enthusiastic teammates who can work hard and play harder!

Re: Hey Boys and Girls?

[rexi]

Aaaaand I can't post the banner I made because I fail at this. Good, what a shining bastion of team fishes and honey

JAKE<3ROXY

[copygoo]

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN TEAM JAKE<3ROXY?

- wow cuties
- uu ships it!
- tell me that jaxy lalish isn't the best thing you've ever seen, ever
- DOUBLE PISTOLS AND A DRINK IS THE BEST SHIP NAME EVER
- go back and read their pesterlogs they are adorable
- ROXY GAVE UP HER CHANCE TO BE WITH JAKE IN ORDER TO TRY AND HOOK UP JAKE AND JANE???? WHAT A SWEET GIRL THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER

(I am not actually a member of Jake<3Roxy but I really want it to make it into HSO. please join jake<3roxy. thank you.)

Re: JAKE<3ROXY

[senatorlemonsnout]

HEY im on team jake♥roxy i'd like to say thanks to my good buddy here for making another post for my team and add that if you do join you get to be on a team with someone who really really likes to abuse nebulas on pictures with her otp is that the sort of stuff that attracts people to teams

pls join my team

Final day!

[aondeug]

We have reached the last day of the team shuffle, though there is the week's grace period for those in five-man teams. Regardless the clock is now ticking down and the moon looms over head with its creepy smile, preparing to doom us all because a small child told him to.

That long and needless reference made Team Dolorosa<3Mindfang is still in the five member count. While there is the grace period I would like to ask if someone could please join before 11:59 EDT/8:59 PST. There is a time limit and possibility of auto placement in Team English looming over our heads! Which is fine team, but choice. Choice is so very sweet and vital.

And hey we have pirates. Pirates are awesome. They attack other ships for money, booze, food, soap, and wood and follow democratic styles of order! And then go to port to get blitzed! Sea going and port in general is exciting and foul. The Pogues Sea Shanty says so and how could an Irish folk punk band lie to us? Even though that song isn't technically a shanty, but a jig?

There is metaphorical freedom too! Since we know only so much about the relationship between the two. Sweeter interpretations along with the dark and tragic would all work!

And all with a slave. A slave who is likely naked at points. Observe.

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4fs58n5Eq1rvc2x2o1_1280.jpg

So we have pirates, metaphorical freedom, naked slaves, and lesbians. There is little more to want in life. Save perhaps rum, but I am sure pirates have weird soporific substance troll rum equivalents. And so for the last time I ask that you join us.

Whoa! Down to the Wire!

[fluorescentnova]

Hey guys! It turns out there was an oversight in team Dave♠Karkat and we had a member drop out! You know what that means... we totally have an open space!

That's right.. you can join the amazing BLACK KNIGHTS and have fun with all the snarky commentary and all the candy red blood you can stand!
