Ships That Pass in the Night: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 263:
** Another popular ship is [[Foe Yay|Discord/Celestia]], due to the dialogue they ''do'' share, and the fact that Discord is the only other major character outside of Luna and Celestia that seems to be able to live several thousands of years. It has three groups dedicated to it on [[Deviant ART]].
** [[All There in the Script|Lyra Heartstrings]] and [{{[[[All There in the Script]] Bon Bon}} are seen together often enough that [http://chzbronies.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-because-absolutley-all-of-the-fanbase-loves-shipping.jpg it gives the fans ideas].
** An especially odd example (if only because of how popular it is) is the shipping between [[All There in the Script|DJ Pon-3]]/[[All There in the Script|Vinyl Scratch]] and [[All There in the Script|Octavia]]. It started with fans juxtiposing the two for humorous effect since they represent conflicting musical aesthetics, however the sheer amount of such fan art was enough to [[Shipping Goggles|get the gears turning]] for the community's shippers, to the point that a large chunk of fan art involving the two is now shipping art (as well as several fan fictions). DJ Pon-3 also has a growing Shipdom with [[Fan Nickname|Neon Lights]]/[[Fan Nickname|EmCee W1SH]], who in popular fanon is seen as another musician who has a friendly rivalry with DJ Pon-3. It should be noted that DJ Pon-3 has yet to appear in the same scene as either of her two most popular shipmates, only appearing in the same episode as Neon Lights in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|the Season 2 finale]] and only appearing with Octavia in [[The Merch]].)
** And shortly before this, Human!Octavia and Human!Vinyl were getting some pretty blatant [[Ship Tease]] in ''Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks''. (Also noteworthy as the first incident of ''any'' incarnation of Octavia and Vinyl being in the same scene.)▼
*** The writers have apparently decided to Throw It In -- season 5 reveals that Octavia and Vinyl are roommates, and at least occasionally work together to compose music and hold jam sessions. Whether they're siblings, platonic life partners, or actually in a relationship is still up in the air.

* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'s'' Pietro and X-23 is a ''very'' popular ship. But so is Kurt and X-23. This is despite X-23's closest interaction with Kurt being off screen and involving her knocking him out; her and Pietro's closest interaction in the series only happening in people's imaginations; and [[Jerkass|each]] [[Fun Personified|character's]] [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|personality]] being completely different. If the characters did interact without first having a LARGE dose of [[Character Development]] first, it would either end with X-23 killing Pietro for making a wise ass remark, or X-23 killing Kurt for not being serious enough in a situation. Kitty and Pietro is slightly saner, but even more jarring as the two have interacted, and by 'interacted' we mean Pietro insults her, she glares at him, and once threatens him. Let's just say X-23 couldn't be shipped with anyone as she has a very unique personality and the only three people she was shown on screen with were either being knocked out, are dead, or [[Squick|her genetic template and the closest thing to a father.]]
* ''[[Recess]]'' fans tend to ship Hustler Kid x Butch...despite the fact that the two hardly interact in the series.
