Shipper on Deck: Difference between revisions

** She's probably just a [[Yaoi Fangirl]] though, and in another instance, when she thought that Sebastian was the one Ciel liked the most, she got noticeably jealous and coined Ciel as a possible "love rival".

* [[Tokyo Babylon]]: Hokuto ships Seishirou/Subaru.

** On another ship, {{spoiler|Shoko}} in recent chapters {{spoiler|serves as the opposing Shipper On Deck, as a Sho/Kyouko fangirl. She, at first, doesn't believe that they are not dating. Later, she tries to make Sho admit that he has feelings toward Kyouko, going so far as to}}—in the Valentine's arc -- {{spoiler|take him to visit Kyouko at work on Valentine's Day to "win her back". He proceeds to steal her [[First Kiss]] in front of Ren (and Yashiro) but turns the situation into a declaration of war on Ren rather than a proclamation of love for Kyouko}}

* ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'' has Yosuke trying to be this for Yu/Chie.

* In ''Project ARMS'', Yugo ships Ryo and Katsumi after realizing how much they love each other. {{spoiler|Keith Green does too, though it's very brief since he dies not long after he decides this.}}

* Almost all of the cast in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' ship Simon and Nia, and early on a number of them were Kamina/Yoko shippers, too. Leeron is an outright shipping fanboy.

* In ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', Giroro's pet cat seems to know her owner has a serious crush on Natsumi, and seems to alternate between being jealous and resenting her for [[All Love Is Unrequited|not reciprocating,]] [[Oblivious to Love|or even noticing]], Giroro's feelings.

** Natsumi seems to be this for Fuyuki/Momoka. In one episode, Momoka called Fuyuki, causing Natsumi to have a mischievous look, nudge Fuyuki, and encourage him to go get her. However, Fuyuki, being [[Oblivious to Love]], didn't get it. Aki seems to be one as well to a lesser extent.

* [[Green Lantern|Star Sapphire]] Mirri Riam ships Kyle Rayner and Soranik Natu. This was fine for a while, but [[It Got Worse]] when they broke up. She was so dedicated to her OTP that she {{spoiler|''ravaged a planet'' to force them to work together and rekindle their romance.}} When she told Kyle and Soranik her reasons they understandably thought she was insane.

* Wolverine generally tends to stay out of the romantic lives of his fellow [[X-Men]], but when Peter Rasputin and Kitty Pryde came downstairs for breakfast the morning after [[They Do|they finally did the deed]], [[My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That|he could smell it on them]]. His two-word reaction: "'Bout time."

* A few people are this for Katchoo and Francine at various points in ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]''; the moment where David and Casey handcuff the two together to hash out their differences is probably the most extreme occasion.

 

** Haruhi ships him with all of [[Fan Nickname|Big Damn]] [[Unwanted Harem|Harem]], including herself.

* In ''[[Total Drama Comeback|Total Drama Battlegrounds]]'', the [[Original Character]] Crystal exists for this reason, shipping everyone together and making meta-references to things like [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]s and [[Crack Ship]]s.

* In ''[[A Different Lesson]]'', Viper and later Mei Ling are this for Tai Lung and Tigress.

* The ''[http://gaangjr.nfshost.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Gaang Jr.]'' fan-project gives us Yi Lin, a walking riff on Avatar fandom's shipping community. She's obsessed with other people's lovelives and hides all her collected "Proof" in a book supposedly about..well, ships. She's a [[Yuri Fan|Tyzula fangirl]] in particular, although she can't get other people to see it (and if they ever do see it, they're not going to tell her since it would just make her harder to live with). Fittingly, she refuses to see that there's something going on between Irah and Hayoda.

* In Connie Willis' ''[[Passage]]'', Maisie Nellis takes on this role late in the book. {{spoiler|After Joanna dies, Maisie tries a couple of times to pair Richard and Kit.}}

* In ''[[The Hunger Games]]'', [[Everyone Can See It]] when it comes to Peeta and Katniss...everyone being ''the entire Capitol audience''. And while Haymitch encourages Katniss to ratchet up the romance for the sake of effect, {{spoiler|it's implied that he ships the two in reality, as well}}.

 

 

{{quote|'''Martha''': So, am I right in thinking that you and he...? (*pulls an unforgettable expression*)

'''Ianto''': We...dabble.

'''Ianto''': Yeah. }}

* Blair's maid/nanny/sidekick Dorota ships Blair and Chuck on ''[[Gossip Girl]]''. Serena sometimes joins the ship, but just as often seems to dislike the idea of the two together. Blair's parents and their respective husbands seem to be Chair shippers also.

{{quote|'''Mycroft''': Might we expect a happy announcement by the end of the week?}}

** Or Irene:

'''Irene Adler''': Well, [[If It's You It's Okay|I am.]] [[Unrequited Love|And look at the pair of us.]] }}

** Or Mrs. Hudson:

* Elwood P. Dowd and [[Harvey]] help Dr. Sanderson and Ms. Kelly rediscover their long-buried feelings for one another by the end of the play/film.

* In ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'', [[Greek Chorus|Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon]] ship Seymour and Audrey.

'''Crystal:''' And she ain't talkin' about George Washington Carver. }}

* ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]'' runs on this trope. [[Everyone Can See It|Most of the cast]] ships Benedick/Beatrice and schemes to get them together. Beatrice also ships Claudio/Hero, and goes into a murderous rage when her ship gets {{spoiler|temporarily}} sunk.

*** We also have [[Large Ham|General Wallace]], who in his youth shipped [[The Ojou|his lord's daughter Madelyn]] with [[Bash Brothers|his best friend and sparring partner]] [[Warrior Prince|Hassar of the Lorca tribe]]. {{spoiler|His and Kent's supports reveal that years ago, when the [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] eloped to not be separated, Wallace chose to let go of them and be imprisoned as punishment rather than break them apart; some time later, they became the parents of their actual lady in liege, Princess Lyndis aka Lyn (whom Kent himself can marry via supports). It's also [[An Aesop]] about how [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right|rules are NOT always the end and be it]], and sometimes [[To Be Lawful or Good|you have to choose the good over the lawful in]] [[Lawful Good]].}}

** In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Radiant Dawn'', Micaiah refers to the "warm feelings" Naesala has for Leanne, and that [[Ho Yay|Soren has for Ike.]] Additionally, Ike was astonished to discover that Jill and Haar were not cohabiting.

*** Vanessa's sister Syrene also encourages Vanessa's feelings, but it's not clear ''who'' does she ship her with. The guy's name isn't mentioned so it could be either Innes or her other possible husband, [[Nice Guy|Forde.]]

** The [[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Seisen]] mangas bring up several of these, too. In the Oosawa manga [[Happily Married|Ethlin, Cuan]] and [[Action Girl|Ayra]] ship [[Knight in Shining Armor|Fin]] with {{spoiler|[[Badass Princess|Lachesis]]}}, while [[White Magician Girl|Adean]] ships {{spoiler|her [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] Azel with his ''other'' female friend [[Bokukko|Tailto]]}}, and [[Cool Big Sis|Mahnya]] ships [[Blow You Away|Levin]] with her little sister [[Lady of War|Fury]]. OTOH, in the Fujimori version [[Trickster|Dew]] ships Adean ''hard'' with her bodyguard [[Horse Archer|Midayle]].

** Also in the Zeldaverse, it's implied that most of the residents of Ordon Village ship Link/Ilia in ''[[Twilight Princess]]''. This seems to be largely due to her status as the mayor's daughter and their hopes that he'll be mayor one day, plus the fact that they're good friends and close in age.

** Poked at in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'', with Mako saying that if [[The Big Guy|Gonzo]] and [[Little Miss Badass|Tetra]] had a kid, he'd be the greatest pirate ever (forget the fact that Tetra's a pre-teen and Gonzo's easily in his 20's at least).

** And some lines the Mana has during the last character event for Roxis suggests that he probably shipped Roxis with [[The Hero|Vayne]]—for the same reason.

* In ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]'', Welch makes it perfectly clear how much she thinks [[Official Couple|Edge and Reimi]] should be together.

** Yuki's mother obviously ships Erika/Largo. Not that it needed help anyway.

** And Yuki herself is probably the biggest Piro/Miho fangirl in the series.

* ''[[Questionable Content]]'':

** As of [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1663 this] strip, Dora is shipping Angus/Faye. The strip is even ''called'' "Dora's OTP?"

* Pretty much everyone in ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'' tries to get Mike and Lucy together. While Lucy is all for it (though she hates the interference in her life, she does love Mike... [[Tsundere|probably]]), Mike has a long-distance girlfriend and rejects Lucy, leading to much angst. Complicated by the fact that several cast members have crushes on Mike or Lucy, but still want them to get together...

** 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]].

* 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|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''.

** This trope is [[Played for Laughs]] by Toph in the four-part series finale, where she seems to express herself as a Harutara shipper.

{{quote|'''Toph:''' I ''knew'' it! You ''did'' have a secret thing with Haru!

'''Katara:''' Uh, no. }}

* What about Keef in the unfinished episode, "Return of Keef" of ''[[Invader Zim]]''. That guy is... ...very obsessed over the Zim/Dib pairing...

** In the [[Grand Finale]], Drakken's symbiotic flower ships Drakken and Shego together.

** Kim's mom also seemed to secretly ship [[Official Couple|Kim/Ron]] for the first three seasons. Became not-so-secret in ''[[The Movie|So the Drama]]''.

** [[A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!|The live-action film]] gives an odd inversion to this, in that Cosmo and Wanda spend much of the first half of the film trying to prevent Timmy and Tootie from getting together, since it would mean Timmy would officially be grown up and they'd have to leave him. {{spoiler|This eventually begins to change after Poof brings them to realize it's wrong to prevent Timmy from growing up, and by the end of the film, they're happy that Timmy and Tootie are finally together.}}

* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' has both Gwen's support for Ben/Julie and Ben's support for Gwen/Kevin. In the tradition of the series, it is as [[Romantic Plot Tumor|awkward]] and [[Strangled by the Red String|forced]] as the actual romance.
