Line 6: People like romance. People like conflict. So naturally, [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs\|people like romance in the middle of a conflict]]. This is what happens when that comes to the front. It doesn't have to be a war, but basically any sort of conflict between two (or more) groups. It is guaranteed that the shippers will begin favoring a pairing of two characters on opposite sides... [[Ships That Pass in the Night\|even if those specific characters don't even say two words to each other.]] Related to [[Foe Yay]]; where [[Foe Yay]] is about the implications and doesn't necessarily have to garner support from the fandom, ~~[[War Ship\|~~'''War Shipping]]''' is about the fandom support and doesn't necessarily need to be implied. Additionally, where [[Foe Yay]] is about hate as a mask for love, ~~[[War Ship\|~~'''War Shipping]]''' doesn't have to involve any animosity at all, and the characters can be as friendly as they want to be as long as they're ultimately on opposite sides. Not to be confused with [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]. Line 12: {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Arguably the ''main'' plot of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' was the relationship between [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] Aina and Shiro, pilots on opposing sides of the [[Mobile Suit Gundam\|One Year War]]. * ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'': Amuro and Lalah are on opposite sides. Line 30: * ''[[Safehold\|By Schism Rent Asunder]]'': political pragmatism throws former enemies Cayleb and Sharleyan in bed together. It ends up being a [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]]. * ''[[Sten\|Revenge of the Damned]]'': Lady Atago is brave, beautiful and a military genius. She's really Sten's perfect counterpart. Too bad she's sworn to destroy the Empire. * ''[[Vorkosigan Saga\|Shards of Honor]]'' starts out with the Betans and the Barrayarans on opposing sides of a conflict (technically, it's Barrayar vs. Escobar, with the Betans supporting Escobar), and Betan Expeditionary Captain [[Hot Amazon\|Cordelia]] [[Warrior Therapist\|Naismith]] being taken prisoner by Barrayaran Captain Lord [[An Officer and a Gentleman\|Aral]] [[Combat Pragmatist\|Vorkosigan]]. Four days, a lot of terrain, and some heart-to-hearts later, they're engaged. And as subsequent books tell us, they end up a pair of [[Happily Married]] [[Retired Badass~~\|Retired Badasses~~]]es. * [[Star Wars Expanded Universe\|Luke and Mara]] marry just as the Empire and the New Republic reach peace. Line 41: == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[Total Drama]]'' provides several couples who were on opposite teams during at least one season (Tyler/Lindsay in ''Island,'' Gwen/Trent and Duncan/Courtney in ''Action,'' Duncan/Gwen in ''World Tour''), and the popularity of [[Crack Pairing~~\|Crack Pairings~~]]s just increases the chance of you supporting one or more of these. * This is part of the reason [[Avatar: The Last Airbender\|Zutara]] is such a popular ship. In the first two season when Zuko and Katara were on opposite sides, it added a very Romeo and Juliet-esque feel for many shippers. {{reflist}} [[Category:Shipping Tropes]] [[Category:Home Page/YMMV]]▼ [[Category:Alice and Bob]] [[Category:YMMV Trope]] [[Category:War Ship]] ▲[[Category:~~Home~~Example ~~Page/YMMV~~as a Thesis]]
