History HoYay / Franklin

** In "Franklin's Valentines", Franklin makes heartfelt valentines for all of his friends. Usually, boys don't give other boys "traditional" valentine cards (traditional as in, pink and red colored hearts with glitter and pastel colors), but Bear and Franklin take this UpToEleven. We see Bear's card to Franklin that has the two of them sitting under a tree surrounded by hearts, no biggie. But then we see Franklin's card to Bear and it is full of hearts with Cupid's arrows (which implies PuppyLove!) and a drawing of Franklin and Bear making up two halves of a heart with wings. Take of that as you will. (Note: This isn't visible in the TV show, but you can see it in the book version.) They might just be kids, but [[ShipTease this is really pushing it...]]

* ''Sweet maple flapjacks'', Franklin and Bear. Their close "friendship" and all the "best friends" talk really crosses the line of "Heterosexual" Life Partners. There are definitely a number of shippers in the production crew who could imagine them as a couple when they grow up.

There are definitely some "puzzling" moments in this cartoon. Including some {{Parental Bonus}}es.

** "Franklin Has A Sleepover" has Sam and Bunny riding on a train and gives us the "lovely" image seen above. This happens when the camera closes up on them and this happens more than once! And if you thought that the images and Gifs on the Main page were bad, guess what? [[https://j.gifs.com/31w7Wx.gif IT GETS WORSE! (And way more obvious.)]] Are they trying to imply something by using Franklin and Bear's plush toys?

* Franklin and Fox are good friends who are also competitive rivals but then there are times when they are very close friends and end up with FoeYay.
** In "Hurry Up, Franklin", when Franklin shows off the things he collected, [[http://i.imgur.com/zTuFaif.png?1 Fox gets up close and handsy with Franklin.]]
* Beaver and Goose are very close as well. Also, Fox and Rabbit have their moments.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuSXJVVp1Zw In one of the video games]], Bear stops Franklin to make him play "Red Light, Green Light". Franklin sneaks up while Bear is pushing himself against a log and then turns around. When Franklin succeeds, he smacks Bear in his butt. Bear made up a game just so he could get Franklin to touch his butt. Yeah, at this point they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
** In "Franklin's New Hat", Franklin was blinded by his sister's hat during musical chairs and accidentally sat on Bear's lap.
-->'''Bear''': Uhh, Franklin, I am not a chair...

** And from the same episode above, because Bear's parents were going to deliver the baby, Bear gets to sleep over at Franklin's house. A fairly innocent scene for kids with hidden meanings that can be caught by older viewers. They stay up late at night, playing quietly as to not wake Franklin's parents. Franklin and Bear are then seen to be [[http://i.imgur.com/fFYbXd3.png "playing with themselves" (literally)]], but adults know the DoubleEntendre here. Then, Franklin and Bear are [[http://i.imgur.com/4y1ebJ6.png "playing under the covers"]], curiously hiding what they are doing under the sheets, complete with Bear yet again tickling Franklin. [[note]][[http://i.imgur.com/oxbxVG8.png Not to mention that they actually knock the chair down.]][[/note]] Looks more like the creators seriously just snuck in GRatedSex here!

** Whenever Bear actually doesn't want to hang out with Franklin, the show itself plays this off as "wrong" and Franklin gets upset and tries to fix things by getting Bear to hang out with him again. It's okay for Franklin to hang out with others but when Bear hangs out with others, excluding Franklin, [[StatusQuoIsGod it's against status quo.]]

[[note]]There are more examples, but we would definitely need to separate it to it's own page.[[/note]]

There are definitely some "perplexing" moments in this cartoon. Including some {{Parental Bonus}}es.

* Sweet maple flapjacks, Franklin and Bear. Their close "friendship" and all the "best friends" talk really crosses the line of "Heterosexual" Life Partners. There are definitely a number of shippers in the production crew who could imagine them as a couple when they grow up.
** In the episode "Franklin and the Baby" where Bear’s baby sister Beatrice is born, the last scene is played out as if the baby was Franklin and Bear’s baby! Franklin sits down while Bear stands next to him and they both hold the baby while looking into each other’s eyes, making it look like [[https://ton.twitter.com/i/ton/data/dm/694498438826725379/694498438851858432/jhyghP4q.jpg Franklin is the mom]] and [[https://ton.twitter.com/i/ton/data/dm/694498075650297859/694498075679678464/Dyb2296k.jpg Bear is the dad!]] There is no way that this was unintentional.
