Congraturations, This Troper.


** There are also quite a few who ship Fionna with her template, Finn, since they are both human and the best chance at repopulating the human species. But alot of fans like to bash anyone who supports the ship by saying "Fionna is fanfiction". This hasn't stopped fanfic writers from finding some way to have the two meet, from dimensional portals and other forms of magic, to Fionna living on a separate continent/country called the Land of Aaa. THIS troper is a fanatic Finn/Fionna shipper.

** [[MentorShip Anakin/Ahsoka]] also has a fairly large following, given that the canon romances of both characters suffered majorly from StrangledWithTheRedString.
** [[LesYay Barriss/Ahsoka]] contends pretty well with both of the ships above, plus all of the other ships that arise [[LauncherOfAThousandShips whenever
Ahsoka is also shipped with Anakin, interacts with...anything, really]].
** In general, clone/Jedi ships are greatly preferred to canon ships. Aayla Secura
and Commander Bly are one example, but that ship was widely supported before the show even Senator Chu-Chi.started thanks to the characters' interactions in the comics. Barriss Offee/Commander Cody, however, is largely unique to The Clone Wars fandom. The two often star as a BetaCouple in Rexsoka fics, even though, ironically, Barriss and Cody ''never'' interacted in cartoon or comics.

* In ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Scott/Rogue were shipped ''hard''. Even though the two have no particular relationship in the comics, the cartoon explored their similarities in greater detail: both have involuntary powers, both come from unstable families and were adopted by Xavier, and both are socially awkward with Scott being a nerd and Rogue a goth. In the handful of episodes where they bonded (the ChristmasEpisode in particular), most fans felt Scott had better chemistry with her than his canon love interest, Jean Grey.

** Pretty much any yaoi pairing that isn't [[TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye Chromedome/Rewind]] or [[TransformersEnergon Mirage/Megatron]] is doomed to this for now, since the franchise in general is still primarily for young boys. Of course, G1 [[ManipulativeBastard Prowl and [[JiveTurkey Jazz]] might well embody this. In canon, they barely interacted and when they do, they ([[TransformersAnimated usually]]) hate each other. Last count on FFN for Jazz/Prowl fics? 411.

** Within hours of their debu episode, Avatar Wan and Raava started getting shipped by a surprising number of fans. Helped along when one fan drew a humanized version of Raava that the newly christened ship's shippers immediately latched onto.

These may be popular ships, but they don\'t fit the criteria listed on the main page. Lyra/Bon Bon, and Dr. Whooves/Derpy are the only ones that are universal enough to count.


* Despite it being nonexistent in the series, some ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fans like to pair Fluttershy with Applejack's older brother, Big Macintosh. Naturally, when a plot for the show's Valentine's Day episode involves [[spoiler: the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to hook up Big Macintosh with Cheerilee,]] [[PortmanteauCoupleName Fluttermac]] supporters weren't too thrilled with the development.
** While the vast majority of the cast is shipped with pretty much everyone else, [[FanNickname Lyra and Bon Bon]] tend to be paired almost exclusively which each other, to the point that art or stories that pair them with other characters are considered oddities. Case in point, do a search for "Lyra, shipping" on [[http://derpibooru.org/ Derpibooru]], and you'll get almost nothing but Lyra/Bon Bon pictures, whereas if you try a similar search with any other characters you'll probably get five or six different pairings before you get past the first page.
** You can also find quite a few picture of the [[FanNickname Caramel]]/[[HoYay Big Macintosh]] ([[PortmanteauCoupleName Caramac]]) pairing.
** Pairing Rainbow Dash with Soarin is up there with Fluttermac as one of the more popular het pairings. Though Rainbow Dash seems to be [[LauncherOfAThousandShips shipped with every other character in the series.]]
** The three most popular pairings on FIM Fiction (a dedicated MLP fanfiction site), based on membership in their groups, are [[{{Adorkable}} Twilight]] x [[FishOutOfTemporalWater Luna]], Twilight x [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Rainbow Dash]], and [[TeacherStudentRomance Twilight x Celestia]].
*** Many fans love to pair Celestia with Discord. And, more recently, Luna with King Sombra. This, actually, makes a bit of sense since Celestia and Discord are Harmony and Chaos and Luna and Sombra are Night and Shadows (also, Fear, since Sombra uses it).
