**Hogsda** 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.  The first mentions of the ship were found on the Wiki forum in the form of fanfiction and polls.   On 13–15 April, 2020, a user known as Plaguebacon began  and posted of the ship.   and on the Wiki the term *Hilworth* was used. 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.  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 renders — two of which were reposted on the Wiki—  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 prompt 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. Rain further claimed that whoever could continue the prompt would be awarded an unfilled position in the Writing Team. Shortly thereafter, he declared the "application" closed. Of this, a user described it as "zoophile" and Elite said "You doubt my ability to make Hogsda canon!?".

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".
