Line 246:
* Out of the three main fan pairings in ''[[Ben 10]]'', only Gwen/Kevin was like this ''at first'', as the [[Kissing Cousins|Ben/Gwen]] and [[Foe Yay|Ben/Kevin]] shippers had ''plenty'' of evidence to back themselves up. The writers may have caught on to this, and paired Gwen and Kevin off [[Strangled by the Red String|awkwardly]] in [[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]] to [[Ship Sinking|sink]] the [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Bwen and Bwevin]] shippers. This was [[Romantic Plot Tumor|so forced]] it had the effect of stopping approximately no-one.
* In the case of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', this likely would apply to Ferb & Gretchen (the Fireside Girl who [[Meganekko|wears glasses]]). Despite Ferb's [[Precocious Crush]] on Vanessa and the fact that he and Gretchen have never truly interacted onscreen, it's a very popular ship in the fandom
* In ''[[Histeria!]]'' fanfiction, Toast and Pepper are often portrayed as a couple; this was actually occasionally suggested in the actual show, once where they were shown as [[Romeo and Juliet]] in ""That's the Story That's Told by the Bard", and another time as an off-joke where Loud mistakenly brings in Pepper when Toast asks for a fan (he wanted the type of fan you use to cool yourself); Pepper proceeds to hug Toast and call him "the dreamiest".
* Just try to tell some of the [[Wolverine and the X-Men]] fans that [[Ditzy Genius|Forge]] and [[Ugly Cute|Toad]] have never so much as been in the same room together. That doesn't stop them from being rather plausible if they ever did meet, or the fact that their ship is hands-down ''the'' cutest one in the fandom.
** Their ship is so popular, it has a [[LiveJournal]] community dedicated to it now.
