Ship Mates: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]]'' shippers who support Asuka/Shinji pair Rei with Kaworu. This is for Het, [[Ho Yay|however]][[Les Yay|....]]

* That's only ''one'' [[Just for Pun|Het set]], too - those who ship Shinji/Rei sometimes ship ''Askua'' with Kaworu (if they [[Broken Base|don't hate her guts]]), with the (mostly) canon Toji/Hikari by the side... unless the shipper in question is one of the less-common-but-existant Shinji/Hikari shippers, in which case Asuka/Kaworu or Asuka/Toji can work (at least one fanfic explored ''both''), with Rei & Kensuke occasionally paired together as well. And this is only the ''kids'' - of course, given the [[Dysfunction Junction|mental state of nearly the entire cast]], this is a series where almost any pairing could conceivably work given enough imagination

* In ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' fandom, people who consider Allen/Lenalee their [[One True Pairing|OTP]] and also ship Lavi/Kanda (and vice versa) are pretty common. Another common ship combination is Allen/Kanda and Lavi/Lenalee or Allen/Lavi and Kanda/Lenalee.

* Within [[Trinity Blood]] het fandom, Esther/Abel shippers often lack [[Ship Mates]], but fans of Esther/Ion or Esther/Alessandro tend to also ship Abel with one of the older female characters, such as Noélle or Astharoshe.

** It's not that uncommon for Gerik/Marisa fans to pair Tethys off with Rennac (who ''does'' get a crush on her in their supports though they have no shared ending), or for Seth/Natasha and Tethys/Gerik fans to put Joshua and Marisa together.

** The GBA ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games in general has this built right into the game itself: you can almost always find someone else for a character to A-support with. And as a bonus, since characters can, in addition to their one A-support, also have a B-support with another character, if you can link your Ship Mates together with B-supports, you will have created a small group of near-invincibility with all the stat boosts. (Also applies to other [[Fire Emblem]] games with the Support system, though the mechanics may differ.)

* Even though it's a [[No Hugging, No Kissing|Two Hugs No Kissing]] game, ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' has whole ''trees'' of these spring up. Let's see here...

** Sora/Kairi shippers probably ship Roxas/Namine, too. Riku is taken out of the picture via Xion or Yuffie and Axel via Larxene.

* In ''[[Kick Buttowski]],'' [[Fan-Preferred Couple|Kick/Kendall]] shippers goes well with [[Beta Couple|Gunther/Jackie]], especially since the latter ship would've put an end to Jackie's [[Abhorrent Admirer]] status to Kick. Fanfics that ship Kick/Kendall either ships Gunther/Jackie, or Jackie becomes a victim of [[Die for Our Ship]]. That same thing also happens a lot to Ronaldo (the [[Die for Our Ship]] part, that is, not the [[Ho Yay|dating Gunther]] part). Alternatively, the currently canon Ronaldo/Kendall is very convenient for [[Third Option Love Interest|Kick/Scarlet]] shippers.

* Early ''[[Daria]]'' shippers would pair Jane and Jesse alongside Trent and Daria, referred to as [http://dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=GOF&oldid=34079 Gang of Four]. It's less common now, as canon effectively sank both ships.

** There are a few fans who ship Helga's [[Stalker with a Crush]] Brainy with Arnold's crush [[Parody Sue|Lila]]. This [[Ships That Pass in the Night|actually makes some sense]] if you consider that Lila liked [[Creepy Child|Arnie]]; maybe she has a thing for stoic weirdoes?

* In [[Word Girl]], the shippers of Becky/Tobey seem to also favor Scoops/Violet. Inversely, supporters of Becky with anyone else tend to stick Tobey and Violet together.
