Hogsda

Hogsdahttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/938940303442837546/957448952830132254 is a satirical ship between Hogsworth and Hilda. Although Rainimator has referred to it as Hogsda, it is often erroneously known as Hilworth or Hilsworth. Despite its clear impossibility, it became common knowledge through the fandom at the height of its popularity and was further propagated through joke renders by XEliteXCraftersX of the Rainimator Production Team.
==History==
=== Origins ===
The idea of a ship between Hilda and Hogsworth was first introduced on the Rainimator Wiki in 2020.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/719208281674874921/766672816375726130 https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/719208281674874921/766714639697707009 The first mentions of the ship were found on the Wiki forum in the form of fanfiction and polls.https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000006122 https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000006154 https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000006147 On 13–15 April, 2020, a user known as Plaguebacon began https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/784253677183041566 and posted of the ship. https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000009121 https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000006190 and on the Wiki the term Hilworth was used.https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000015588 Other users including Warriorprincess45000000000 followed suit and 'Hilworth' soon attracted a minor following.
=== Recognition on the Skydom ===
Despite the community of the Rainimator Wiki being partially segregated from the mainstream fandom, the ship was commented upon by members of the Skydom, the official Rainimator Discord, in April 2020. The ship was mainly raised in #alternate-universes-and-fanfics.
The earliest mention of the word Hogsda on the Discord was by XEliteXCraftersX, a member of the Rainimator Production Team.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/769273541576097853 https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/776883469111525437 It is unknown if Elite was aware of the ship's prior existence on the Wiki as Hilworth at the time. Elite created several joke rendershttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480760955521990669/942809711005290496 https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480261137452105749/777361639678279691— two of which were reposted on the Wiki—https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000027817/r/4400000000000071876 https://rainipedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000014889/r/4400000000000040687 and popularized the ship as 'Hogsda' through his memes, antics and popularity on the server. A character known as the Gossip Gorf whose purpose was to "spread the word about Hogsda" surfaced in such a render. Elite sarcastically declared Hogsda as the "superior ship" and "canon".
=== Revival ===
Although the ship had declined after 2020 and was virtually forgotten on the Wiki, Hogsda was rekindled on the Discord after Gotta Get Outta Here, in which Hilda and Hogsworth fought against each other. 
==== Official Recognition ====
On November 2, 2021, Rain posted a satirical writing prompthttps://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/905035985480466452 in #general-chat about the ship. It described an alternate ending of Gotta Get Outta Here where - whilst fighting - Hogsworth pins Hilda to the ground and the two begin wrestling in a suggestive manner. Hogsworth is described to oink "in pleasurable pain". Both sides of the battle stop fighting and—after witnessing the scene before them—concludes that pigs and humans might yet be able to coexist.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/905035379848134657https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/905035397883633674 Rain further claimed that whoever could continue the prompt would be awarded an unfilled position in the Writing Team.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/905036358270214174 Shortly thereafter, he declared the "application" closed.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480231557123276800/905036934823428096 Of this, a user described it as "zoophile" and Elite said "You doubt my ability to make Hogsda canon!?".https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480261137452105749/906683027839647784
On March 27, 2022, as part of a Discord Q&A for the Skydom Podcast, Rain named Hogsda as "the weirdest ship [he had] ever seen come out of [his] fanbase".
