Line 2: [[File:Shipping 6903.png\|link=Homestuck\|frame\|This is just the beginning, folks.]] {{quote\|''"Because it's obvious you and Agent Booth were attracted to each other. I mean a blind man could see that. I just couldn't understand why you two just didn't rip each other's clothes off. I mean just get all butt-naked and - Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Uh. I'm - I'm sorry. It just popped out, okay?"''~~\|'''Clark Edison''', ''[[Bones]]''}}~~ \|'''Clark Edison''', ''[[Bones]]''}} A character in a story actively ships two other characters in the story, trying to make them realize their true feelings while they're both still claiming that [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]. Line 64 ⟶ 65: Asuna/Takahata: Ayaka, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/8.html as seen here.] {{spoiler\|When Takahata [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/14.html rejects Asuna] because [[Heroic Self-Deprecation\|he doesn't believe]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/18.html he's worthy of love], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/19.html Ayaka is the one who comforts her].}} And of course Chamo ships every pairing that he's aware of, mostly because he gets oodles of cash every time he brokers a pactio,<ref>a magical contract where a mage gives a mundane partner power and possibly a powerful artifact in exchange for aid in battle</ref> and since the pactios are typically made by kissing... * Briefly in ''[[Blood ~~Plus~~+\|Blood+]]'', where Mao tries to set up Kai and Saya, who aren't romantically attracted to each other (which averts [[Brother-Sister Incest\|another trope]]). Kai ''[[Bodyguard Crush\|is]]'', but holds back because he knows Saya cares for him but really does think of him as a brother, nothing more and nothing less. And this is despite Mao [[Matchmaker Crush\|having a crush on Kai too.]] Line 93 ⟶ 94: In ''Best Wishes'' [[Hot-Blooded\|Stephan]] seems to be a SommelierShipper (Cilan/Burgundy) judging by his interaction with both of them and is obviously trying to get the two do stuff together (AKA the Sommelier battle). [[Tsundere\|Burgundy]] didn't take this well and [[Adorkable\|Cilan]] [[Oblivious to Love\|seems oblivious]] (or is he?). Max, in the Japanese version, is a subtle Advanceshipper, since he mentions that he was happy in seeing his sister and Ash travelling together. * ''[[You're Under Arrest]]'': Pretty much ''[[Everyone Can See It\|every]]'' single member of the Bokuto police station is a Miyuki/Nakajima shipper. Until the end of ''Full Throttle'', when {{spoiler\|the big lug [[They Do\|finally pops the question]]}}. * ''[[Ashita no Nadja]]'': Nadja Applefield ships Sylvie/Raphael. Sylvie, in return, ships Nadja/Francis, though she's more aware of how [[Love Hurts]]... Marianne Hamilton ships Nadja/{{spoiler\|Keith}}, since she's got a crush on Nadja's love interest {{spoiler\|and Keith's younger twin brother}} Francis and it'd let her have a chance on him. Julietta is a subversion, as when Nadja is caught with her feelings for {{spoiler\|Keith and Francis}}, she tells Nadja {{spoiler\|"choose the guy YOU want and not the one you feel obligued to love back" but doesn't explicitely show preference for either of Nadja's love interests.}} * Everyone in ''[[~~xxxHolic~~×××HOLiC]]'' seems to ship Doumeki/Watanuki. Even Himawari, the girl Watanuki has a crush on. On one such occasion, Watanuki even says that the entire female camp is against him. Not just all females: ''even Mokona'' ships Doumeki/Watanuki. He's shown to constantly try to hint to Watanuki that Doumeki likes him—including chiding Watanuki for berating Doumeki, as Doumeki is trying to spend time with Watanuki because he wants to "make sure Watanuki isn't hurt... in heart, or in ''body''." Line 138 ⟶ 139: * ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'': Meet Caldina, the local [[Cool Big Sis]] and [[Lady of War\|Umi]]/[[The Beast Master\|Ascot]] fangirl. ** [[Bokukko\|Hikaru]] and Umi were [[Meganekko\|Fuu]]/[[Jerk with a Heart of Gold\|Ferio]] shippers. * In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)\|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Ed seems to be slightly supportive of [[Bodyguard Crush\|Royai]]. "And don't worry the Lieutenant." Al is a [[Belligerent Sexual Tension\|Edwin]] shipper. "Brother is so youthful!" Eventually it gets to the point where Al and Winry love to tease each other about their respective love interests, Winry being an [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl\|Almei]] shipper. Also, Riza seems to ship Edwin, or at least she likes teasing Edward about it. Line 169 ⟶ 170: On the other hand, Ran ships [[Slap Slap Kiss\|Heiji/Kazuha]] ''and'' [[Cannot Spit It Out\|Makoto/Sonoko.]] Not to mention her attempts to bring [[Belligerent Sexual Tension\|her parents Kogoro and Eri]] back together... * And on the other ''other'' hand, Sonoko was ''very'' reluctant to ship Ran and Shinichi, since she beleives he's not good enough for her. She's loosened up recently, though. * [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli\|Yukari]] from ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' ships Moka and Tsukune, primarily because [[Bi the Way\|she simultaneous crushes on both of them]] and she thinks [[~~OT3~~One True Threesome\|getting a threesome]] would be easier [[Tenchi Solution\|if the other two are already together]]. ** [[The Triads and the Tongs\|Fong-Fong]] also ships the two of them, mostly because he wants them to join the mafia as a powerful [[Battle Couple]]. [[Fridge Brilliance\|Which makes even more sense]] when you realize his parents are ''also'' a [[Battle Couple]]. * In ''[[The Wallflower]]'', Noi becomes a Kyohei/Sunako shipper early on, regularly fangirling about their "moments" together. The rest of the major characters eventually follow suit, trying their damnedest best to get Kyohei to realize his feelings for Sunako as the [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] between the two of them becomes increasingly clear in later volumes. Line 229 ⟶ 230: {{quote\|Chitose: It's a personal preference...my heartfelt desire...my ''dream''.}} ** Her twin sister Chizuru, on the other hand, ships Ayano with Chitose herself. * In episode 7 of ''[[Baka and Test Summon The Beasts]]'', all the main characters are shown to ship Yuuji/[[~~:Category:~~Yandere\|Shouko]]. * In ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'s'' episode 6, after Shouma Takakura takes the feverish Ringo Oginome home back home, Ringo's mother Eriko doesn't seem very convinced when Shouma says that he and Ringo are [[Just Friends]]... To be "fair", she just saw Ringo pretty much ''humping'' Shoma in a feverish pitch. ** As of episode 11, it looks like Himari might ship Shoma/Ringo. She notices that Shoma cooks a special cabbage recipe ''only'' when he wants to make up with someone else, and then deduces he's worried for Ringo and says "I hope Ringo-chan likes cabbage!" Though this being [[The Pollyanna\|Himari]], she might be meaning this in more of a friendshippy take. {{spoiler\|Her "possessor", however... well, we don't know. [[Chaotic Neutral\|She's a wild card]].}} Line 239 ⟶ 240: * In [[Amakusa 1637]], when {{spoiler\|[[Gadgeteer Genius\|Eiji]] and [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold\|Kichou]] }} share a kiss, [[Bifauxnen\|Natsuki]] and [[Plucky Girl\|Eri]] are seen cooing and fist-pumping in the background. == ~~Comics~~Comic Books == * ''[[Empowered]]'': Caged Demonwolf has some very strong opinions regarding how the Emp/Ninjette/ThugBoy [[Love Triangle]] [[~~OT3~~One True Threesome\|should be resolved]]. * Nico briefly ships Victor and Lillie, a New York girl from the 1800s. Pretty much all of the earlier [[Runaways]] shipped Gert and Chase. ** Molly seemed to ship Xavin and Karolina first. The other Runaways seemed to join her once they realized that Xavin really wasn't going to kidnap or enslave Karolina. * During a period in [[The Nineties]] when [[Superman\|Lois and Clark]] had split up, [[Great Gazoo\|Mr. Mxyzptlk]] of all people, tried to push them back together. Being an annoying trickster, this was not appreciated and he was firmly told that they'd resolve their problems in their own time. * Pretty much everyone in ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'' shipped Liz/Anthony. [[The Comics Curmudgeon\|Pretty much]] [[Creator's Pet\|nobody outside of it]] [[Internet Backdraft\|did]].▼ ** Except for [[The Unfavorite\|April]]. [[Ensemble Darkhorse\|No wonder people like her.]] (It totally didn't help that Anthony was ''still married'' for part of the shilling.)▼ * The [[Elseworlds]] story "Superman: Red Son" briefly had Josef Stalin of all people ship Superman/Wonder Woman * The most recent{{when}} ''[[Spider-Man]]'' stories have had Mary Jane become a Peter/Carlie shipper, [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy\|despite her own feelings for Peter]]. [[Creator's Pet\|Audience reaction to this]] [[Internet Backdraft\|has been mixed.]]▼ * ''[[Peanuts]]'': Sally Brown usually doesn't seem to care much about her older brother's happiness, with one notable exception: She will encourage any hint of romance between Charlie Brown and Marcie.▼ ▲* The most recent ''[[Spider-Man]]'' stories have had Mary Jane become a Peter/Carlie shipper, [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy\|despite her own feelings for Peter]]. [[Creator's Pet\|Audience reaction to this]] [[Internet Backdraft\|has been mixed.]] ** Usually the shipper on deck in the Spidey cast in Aunt May whom was very vocal about wanting Peter to end up with MJ. MJ's Aunt Anna is this to a lesser extend having helped May set up Peter and MJ's first blind date. * In ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', Gwen Stacy supported Peter and Mary Jane, proving MJ's insecurities about Gwen and Peter's relationship to be unfounded. Line 308 ⟶ 306: ** In the third movie, he subtly hints that he thinks Sam and Carly ought to get married. * In [[John Tucker Must Die]], Carrie, Beth, and Heather both do this in a fake and real way. They do it to get John to notice Kate so they can inevitably break his heart and then do it with John's brother Scott because Kate is shown to like her. * Look at [[Harry ~~Potter]]~~'s face at the end of ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, - Part 2]]'' when Hermione and Ron reveal their relationship to him. He is smirking like a mad thing. He ships it. And he's shipped it for years. In ''Half-Blood Prince'', it seems that Ginny and Dumbledore also ship Ron/Hermione. Just look at the hospital scene: {{quote\|'''Dumbledore''': Well, come away, everybody. Mr. Weasley's well-tended. Line 319 ⟶ 317: Rose Campbell from Alcott's ''Eight Cousins'' saga ships [[Star-Crossed Lovers\|her cousin Archie with her best friend Phoebe.]] Their assorted aunts and uncles at one time or another ship Rose herself with Archie or her other two possible suitor cousins: [[Chick Magnet\|Charlie]] and [[TV Genius\|Mackenzie aka Mac]]. {{spoiler\|She chooses Mac in the end}}. ** Rose also ships Mac's younger brother [[The Dandy\|Steve]] with the local [[Genki Girl]], Kitty Van. * In a nod toward shippers in general, there's a moment in ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Half-Blood Prince (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'' where Harry and Hermione start joking about the evidence of a relationship between Filch and Madame Pince, the librarian. There's a nod towards this when they're shown standing together later in the book. Hermione appears to be a Harry/Ginny shipper, to the chagrin of many Harmonians.<ref>Harry/Hermione shippers</ref> Some interpreted Ron's "find someone better next time" after Ginny dumps Michael to be a hint that he also supports the pairing. Evidence: {{quote\|He cast Harry an oddly furtive look as he said it.}} Line 325 ⟶ 323: Harry, meanwhile, ships Ron/Hermione, although he would possibly ship it a bit more if they hadn't chosen [[Now or Never Kiss\|the middle of a battle]] to get together... * Dumbledore seems to be a bit of a Ron/Hermione shipper as well. He did give Ron the Deluminator, so Ron could find his way back to her. {{spoiler\|Voldemort's Horcrux}}, on the other hand, ships Harry/Hermione in ''Deathly Hallows''... {{spoiler\|if only to emotionally torture Ron. And it fails, anyway. [[Take That]], rabid Harmonians.}} In the epilogue, {{spoiler\|Lily Potter and her mother Ginny Weasley-Potter seem to ship Teddy Lupin/Victoire Weasley.}} Also in ''Half-Blood Prince'', Mrs. Weasley and Ginny disapprove of Bill's relationship with Fleur and instead ship Bill/Tonks. Mrs. Weasley changes her opinion by the end of the book, though. (Ron shipped Bill/Fleur all along, mostly because Fleur mesmerized him.) Line 349 ⟶ 347: * [[The Dresden Files]]: Both Bob the Skull and Thomas are big HarryxMurphy shippers, even though the two have discussed the reasons they don't want to get into a relationship (Harry doesn't want anything casual, Murphy doesn't want anything serious). Michael Carpenter was also a minor shipper of HarryxSusan by suggesting he marry her {{spoiler\|before she was infected by the Red Court}}, though this had more to do with him being a devout Catholic and disapproving of them having sex before marriage. Technically, Bob and Thomas are big Harryx''Anybody'' shippers, causing him to distrust their sincerity about Murphy. Also, in Fool Moon, Harry's Subconscious shipped ~~[[Harryx~~Harry x Murphy]] when Harry was still involved with Susan. * ~~wickedLovely~~''[[Wicked Lovely]]'': Rianne in the first book tries ''very'' hard to fix Keenan and Aislinn up, and in Fragile Eternity [[The High Queen\|Sorcha]], of all people, shows some Irial/Niall tendencies. * In ''[[Animorphs]]'', Cassie, at a dance, says she hopes Rachel and Tobias will dance with each other. A thousand fans agree. But—uh-oh! The [[Romantic False Lead]], Ax, who everyone ELSE is shipping, causing a thousand fans to groan. * In the first book of the second ''[[Circle of Magic]]'' quartet, Sandry encourages a romance between her great-uncle Duke Vedris and the famous dancer Yazmín Hebet- an unusual example, with the teenaged protagonist shipping two much older secondary characters. Sandry worries about her long-widowed uncle's health and hopes that love will distract him from worrying too much about the string of murders that ''she'' is helping investigate. Line 392 ⟶ 390: * The Groosalugg also (begrudgingly) ships Angel/Cordelia, and breaks off his relationship with Cordelia, urging her to [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy\|"be with the man she truly loves"]]. * Fred also ships. "Kyrumption." * In ''[[Firefly (TV series)\|Firefly]]'', River seems to ship Simon/Kaylee, at one point calling him a "boob" after his latest screw-up with her. Given that it's [[Cloudcuckoolander\|River]], it doesn't really make much difference. Until the movie, {{spoiler\|when she gets better, [[Relationship Upgrade\|and so does the relationship]].}} Coincidence?... yeah, probably. It's made quite clear that she ''does'' ship it in the novelization of ''[[Serenity]]''. She calls him [[Too Dumb to Live\|too stupid to live]] for messing up with Kaylee. Heck, a good part of the crew apparently ships Simon and Kaylee, usually getting annoyed with Simon when he inadvertently blows a potentially good moment between them. And we cannot forget ''Jaynetown'', when Mal conveniently decides to let Kaylee and Simon remain on guard together in a bar—after she hints to him that "things are going ''really'' well." Line 417 ⟶ 415: * From ''[[Heroes (TV series)\|Heroes]]'', [[Nietzsche Wannabe\|Arthur]] ships [[All Your Powers Combined\|Sylar]] and [[Psycho Electro\|Elle]]. ** Sylar and HRG both ship {{spoiler\|Gretchen and Claire}}. Although unintentionally on HRG's part. * ''[[Doctor Who]]'': Donna ships Doctor/Rose. So does Jack: "You two are so sweet. [...] Continue with what you were... doing." (Though he obviously wouldn't be averse to the idea if they'd be willing to [[~~OT3~~One True Threesome\|share]].) The Eleventh Doctor quite actively ships Amy/Rory. {{spoiler\|To the point of [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E06 The Vampires of Venice\|taking the two on a romantic holiday to 16th century Venice to fix their relationship]]. And quite possibly... to the point of manifesting an elaborate dream reality to push the two of them together. Not to mention when Rory shows up in "The Pandorica Opens", Eleven urges him to talk to Amy and try and work things out, regardless of the fact that Amy doesn't even remember Rory existed.}} * {{spoiler\|Judging from the look on his face during [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E13 The Big Bang\|Amy and Rory's wedding]], the Doctor was just as happy as the fandom--if not more so--at seeing the two get hitched.}} Line 504 ⟶ 502: * ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'': A very good case could be made for the notion that McCoy ships [[Ho Yay\|Kirk/Spock]]. Particularly noticeable in "Bread and Circuses" and "Amok Time". * The closest we ever get to explicit Sheppard/Teyla pairing (the [["Take That!" Kiss]] doesn't really count) is Ronon's hardcore shipping of the two in "Sunday." Ronon can't be the only one on the Sheyla bandwagon but he is the only person to vocalize it. == Newspaper Comics == ▲* Pretty much everyone in ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'' shipped Liz/Anthony. [[The Comics Curmudgeon\|Pretty much]] [[Creator's Pet\|nobody outside of it]] [[Internet Backdraft\|did]]. ▲** Except for [[The Unfavorite\|April]]. [[Ensemble Darkhorse\|No wonder people like her.]] (It totally didn't help that Anthony was ''still married'' for part of the shilling.) ▲* ''[[Peanuts]]'': Sally Brown usually doesn't seem to care much about her older brother's happiness, with one notable exception: She will encourage any hint of romance between Charlie Brown and Marcie. Line 630 ⟶ 634: Moloch von Zinzer and Violetta [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090311 were about to have a bet on who wins]. * Violetta has never seen Agatha and Gil together, however. More or less every character who ''has'', ships them; see also [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050314 Master Payne's entire Circus of Adventure.] * The Castle [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091120 seems] to have switched to ana [[~~OT3~~One True Threesome]]. And even [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081112 Mechanicsburg people]: {{quote\|'''Violetta:''' Well, the ''crowd's'' for it. Line 654 ⟶ 658: ** Yashy is especially egregious in this regard, particularly in the earlier strips. This is complete with viciously insulting any other girl who displays an attraction to Mike... [[Mr. Fanservice\|which happens to be most of them]]. * PeeJee ships Davan with his current girlfriend Vanessa in ''[[SomethingPositive]]''. Having coerced Davan into following up Vanessa's interest in him when he never would have bothered, she likes Vanessa and she's not going to let anyone mess up her [[Platonic Life Partners\|Platonic Life Partner's]] happiness, especially not Davan himself. Sister America and Sister Japan of ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]'' are both [[Yaoi Fangirl]]s. Sister America's ship of choice is Denmark/Norway (with Sweden occasionally [[~~OT3~~One True Threesome\|thrown into the mix]]) and Sister Japan's ship is Netherlands/Belgium. * Nepeta Leijon of ''[[Homestuck]]''. She even has a ''wall'' cataloging all her ships. They cover every single person she knows, ''including herself''. Also, Hearts Boxcars. Yes, the Midnight Crew's [[The Brute\|huge brute]] is the resident matchmaker. To be fair, he goes about it in his own [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004449 disturbingly violent and aggressive way.] Line 667 ⟶ 671: Also note [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=945 Kat's reaction] after their not-kiss. * ''[[Girls with Slingshots]]'' has Jamie, who ships a new couple every arc. Best example [http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-978/ here]. * Syren of ''[[The Jupiter Palladium]]'' is pretty much made of this trope. [~~http~~https://~~jupiter-palladium~~web.~~com~~archive.org/~~jp1~~web/~~ch1~~20210228131505/~~494~~https://www.bing.com/search?q=jupiter-palladium&pc=cosp&ptag=G6C24N1073A308CE7CCFF&form=CONBNT&conlogo=CT3210127 There's a wallpaper of the face]{{Dead link}}. * In ''[[Dumbing of Age]]'', Joyce ships [http://www.dumbingofage.com/ Billie/Walky]. ** Meanwhile, Billie has been shipping Walky/Dorothy, if only to get the former out of her hair. * Raji [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027192820/http://www.mahoushounenfight.com/?p=356 is one] for Yuki and Alex in ''[[Mahou Shounen Fight]]''. * In ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' Layla while inclined to stick with her boyfriend and ditch the [[Arranged Marriage]] (she wavers and dithers on both choices even before considering them far enough that they'd collide) tried to set up her so-called "fiancé" and Tiffany, in hope they'd "hit it off and wind up having adorable [[Dhampyr\|day-walking abominations]]", [~~http:~~//~~www.eeriecuties~~pixietrixcomix.com/~~strips~~eerie-eccuties/~~eternal_vigilance~~2012-07-18 in her own words]. ** Also, Nina pulled this with Layla and Brooke, to their bewilderment. After an incident with [[Practice Kiss]] (and blackmail plan by other girls, to which she did what a tornado does to a haystack). * ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' had Schlock trying to "help" Tandersil and Andy to hook up. By taking them on a sailboat cruise [https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2016-12-14 into a huge hurricane] (but he packed life vests). Possibly in part as an attempt to apologize for the incident when Schlock was resisting arrest and threw her through a bulkhead. * In ''Bolter to Kokoro'' series (sadly on hiatus), the Sister Hospitaller. Sure, she's as much [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]] as any Sororita - but also a medic and closer to earth, and also [[Genki Girl\|hilariously hyperactive]], so once Sister of Battle [~~https:~~//tapas.io/episode/556913 tells] about what troubles her, SH immediately responds with [[squee]]ing and [[Wingding Eyes]], then just goes on and on. Which doesn't make it any easier for SB trying to stop blushing and sweating. And later tries to set them up (naturally, [[Hilarity Ensues]]). == Web Original == Line 755 ⟶ 759: * In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic\|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Hearts and Hooves Day" the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to set their teacher Cheerilee up with Applebloom's brother Big Macintosh. [[Hilarity Ensues]] when they go as far as to make a [[Love Potion]]. * On ''[[South Park]]'' episode ''Cartman Finds Love'', Cartman becomes obsessed with pairing up new girl Nichole and Token, [[Token Minority Couple\|since they're both black]]. So much so, in fact, that when he learns Nichole has a crush on Kyle (and vice-versa), he tells her that [[Foe Yay\|he and Kyle]] are a gay couple. He even {{spoiler\|follows Kyle on his date with Nichole, professes his love for him over the megascreen and serenades him with John Michael Montgomrry's "I Swear"}} just so Nichole and Token can be together. == Real Life == Line 761 ⟶ 764: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Characterization Tropes]] [[Category:Shipping Tropes]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
