Crosswicking; I can't exactly give data on how the ship still stands in the fandom currently because I'm not really involved there anymore

* ''WebVideo/{{QSMP}}'': With the teaser for the SMP featuring two iterations of Quackity, one English-speaking and one Spanish-speaking, at least one fan has created fanart of [[AlternateSelfShipping the two kissing]], as early as before Day 1 of the SMP. Quackity the content creator has accidentally stumbled across one such drawing on Twitter... and proceeded to [[ApprovalOfGod like it]].

Fixing a sinkhole. Fan Preferred Couple A) requires a creator preferred and B) has a one month waiting period.


* ''Series/DeadBoyDetectives2024'': Since it was announced that a series of the [[ComicBook/TheDeadBoyDetectives comics of the same name]], the fans leapt to shipping Edwin and Charles. This did not change as promotional content for the series was revealed that showed the [[UndyingLoyalty depth]] [[DevotedToYou of the]] [[BrainsVersusBrawn two ghost]] [[OppositesAttract boys' bond]]. It helped that their real life actors, George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri, shared videos of fairly intimate interactions between each other on instagram. After the show's release, [[FanPreferredCouple Edwin and Charles became one of the favorite couples]] in ''ComicBook/TheSandmanUniverse''.

It's over five decades too late to qualify, as K/S is the most famous slash pairing in fandom, and these are the exact same characters from TOS.


* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'': Even before word came that the show had cast an actor to play James T. Kirk, people shipped the show's version of Spock with Kirk. The casting of an actor only amplified the shipping, even though the characters have thus only barely interacted.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Since the time the show was announced, fans ran quick to pair up this "one boy" with those "ten girls" regardless of them being his ''[[IncestYayShipping sisters]]''. [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1098335-the-loud-house A featured comment]] on the announcement from around May 2016 even called the show "Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s first {{Harem|Genre}} anime".

* ''Series/{{Wednesday}}'': A lot of fans started to ship Wednesday and Enid Sinclair as far back the the very first teaser trailer, mainly because many feel that their differing personalities (the gothic and dour Wednesday and the cheerful Enid) would make for a fun duo, and this has only grown as fans have learned more about the series. The pairing already has a PortmanteauCoupleName, "Wenclair", and has developed quite a devoted fanbase on sites like Tumblr, Twitter and [=AO3=]. For example, it crossed the 200 fic line on [=AO3=] before the show even aired. This is only further fueled by the fact that their real life actresses, Creator/JennaOrtega and Creator/EmmaMyers, have exchanged a number of flirty, romantic comments between each other on instagram (which, predictably, has led to some ActorShipping as well).

* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGillmanTeenageKraken'': Despite the trailers presenting them as arch-enemies in a cut-and-dry "good vs. evil" story, some were quick to ship [[FoeYayShipping Ruby and Chelsea]] together. It gained more popularity when a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99_TZqyyDrE bumper short showed Ruby and Chelsea engaging in a comedic tug of war over the trident]], resulting in many choosing to re-frame them as being friendly rivals in fan works. [[spoiler:While many fans [[AbandonShipping dropped the ship]] once it was made clear that Chelsea AKA Queen Nerissa is [[OlderThanTheyLook a contemporary of Ruby's mother Agatha]], if not older,]] it still remains the most popular ship in the fandom following the film's release.

* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'':
** In spite of their duo name being the Squid Sisters, many people quickly took to shipping Callie and Marie together once they were revealed, guessing that this could just be their idol name and that they weren't actually sisters. The fans were right on that front -- they're ''cousins''. While the ship's popularity sank a bit after that was revealed, there's still plenty of people who [[IncestYayShipping ship the two together]].
** The hosts of ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'', Pearl and Marina, were also shipped together the moment they debuted in the game's dedicated Nintendo Direct. Unlike Callie and Marie, their ship continued to sail strong upon release and only grew stronger as the game itself gave regular ShipTease.

''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': The idol groups of each game get hit with this upon their reveals. While the popularity of [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 Pearl/Marina]] and [[VideoGame/Splatoon3 Frye/Shiver]] remained strong upon the release of those installments (especially the former pairing), [[VideoGame/Splatoon1 the first game]] didn't have as much luck with Callie/Marie.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Four promotional trailers introducing the titular team created White Rose (Ruby/Weiss) after the second trailer dropped, based on personality assumptions (both were thought to have [[SugarAndIcePersonality sugar-and-ice personalities]]). A PairTheSpares ship for the unreleased trailers became Bumblebee (Blake/Yang) once released; the Black Trailer also created Tauradonna (Blake/Adam). The show shattered White Rose assumptions, leaving it just one of many ships, and revealed [[DomesticAbuse Adam]] was a PsychoExBoyfriend, killing it [[AbandonShipping completely]]. Bumblebee, however, became the dominant ship, supported by its two LGBTQ+ voice actresses, and [[ShipTease teased]] from Volume 2 onward before finally being canonized in Volume 9; though other ships, such as Black Sun (Blake/Sun) were teased during that long stretch as well.
