History Main / ShipperOnDeck

Contrasting with TheMatchmaker, the ShipperOnDeck is usually a secondary character and the characters shipped are the protagonists of the story, and likely to be the OfficialCouple. Also contrast with RelationshipSabotage, where someone is trying to undermine a relationship that already exists (although the two can be part of the same plot quite easily, if the idea is to get someone out of one relationship and into another). Also contrasts with ShippingTorpedo, in which a character is against a pairing but may or may not go so far as to act on it, or MatchmakerCrush, when a character starts out trying to help one character hook up with another, but ends up falling in love with the person they were helping (or worse, the person they're trying to help them get), seriously undermining their own efforts. Beware a CreatorsPet if this is the writer trying to reinforce a disliked pairing.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* In SayonaraZetsubouSensei, CloudCuckoolander Kafuka ships virtually the entire female half of the class (or at least the 12 main girls) with Nozomu in a TenchiSolution, ''along with herself as well''.
** [[spoiler: It turns out this makes sense, since all the girls ''are'' her through a reverse SplitPersonality: through her organs being donated to all those girls, she lived on through them.]]
* Hiyori from ''LuckyStar'' ships [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Minami/Yutaka]], as shown when a heartwarming moment between the two gives Hiyori "ideas".
** [[OtakuSurrogate Konata]] isn't as obsessed with it, but it's pretty clear she does too.
* ''{{Mazinger}}'':
** Shiro from ''Anime/MazingerZ'' ships his brother TheHero Kouji and Sayaka together.
** Kouji also shipped his little brother with Lorelei... until things went wrong.
** Duke Fleed from ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' constantly teasing his sister about her and Kouji with a wide grin.
** Minerva X from the ''ShinMazingerZero'' manga [[http://www.onemanga.com/Shin_Mazinger_Zero/8/30/ ships Kouji/Sayaka]].
* Tybalt, [[TroubledButCute of all people]], ships ''RomeoXJuliet'' Rather ironic [[HilariousInHindsight when you consider his role in the original work...]]. Cordelia and Antonio are Rome/Juli shippers too.
** It's odder if you're familiar with ''RomeoEtJulietteDeLaHaineALamour'', in which Tybalt himself is [[KissingCousins in love with Juliet]], and in the Hungarian incarnation, obsessed enough to hate Paris as much as he hates Romeo for "stealing" her.
** On the other hand, ''Juliet'' herself is a [[spoiler: Benvolio]]/Cordelia fangirl. [[spoiler: She gets to see them get married, but doesn't live enough to [[BabiesEverAfter meet their first child]], of whom she would've surely been the godmother if she had survived.]]
** Even Ciello, Romeo's ''[[CoolHorse flying horse]]'', seems to ship Romeo/Juliet, considering all the times he's suddenly swooped down and landed in an apparently random, out of the way place so that they'll meet up, and that time he got them to ride him together.
* In ''Manga/SailorMoon'', Usagi ships Rei and Yuuichirou for an episode. She also ships [[SchoolgirlLesbians Haruka/Michiru]] ([[OfficialCouple though they don't need it]]) and is generally the "everyone deserves love" girl of the series.
** She also ships Naru and Umino, mostly to help Naru out of her depression after [[spoiler:Nephrite]] dies, and later for real once she sees the pairing more or less works. In an exception, she did ''not'' ship Naru with [[spoiler:Nephrite]] himself, since she knew that he was [[spoiler:working for the Dark Kingdom and thought he wasn't good for Naru; she was still sad when, in the end, [[LoveRedeems he came to love her]]... [[RedemptionEqualsDeath and died]].]]
** Also, as soon as Rei understood that Mamoru and Usagi were destined to be together, she stepped aside immediately and urged Usagi to act on her feelings. [[spoiler: This is given a small nod in ''Stars'', where she also speaks to Usagi abut Seiya's feelings.]]
* Tomoyo Daidouji in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', with Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li. In TheMovie, she enlists Meiling Li, Syaoran UnluckyChildhoodFriend.
** Kaho Mizuki is a [[YaoiGuys Touya/Yukito fangirl]] from ''before'' Touya and Yukito met. For added effect, ''she'' was dating Touya.
** Tomoyo also seems to ship [[YaoiGuys Kurogane/Fay]] in ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle''. The Kimono she dresses Fay up in is... [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furisode interesting]].
* Maylene from ''Manga/BlackButler'' gets nosebleeds every time Sebastian makes a... [[HoYay comment where the meaning is ambiguous]] to Ciel, despite having a crush on him herself.
** She's probably just a YaoiFangirl though, and in another instance, when she thought that Sebastian was the one Ciel liked the most, she got noticeably jealous and coined Ciel as a possible "love rival".
* TokyoBabylon: Hokuto ships Seishirou/Subaru.
* Yashiro in ''Manga/SkipBeat'' does his best to get Ren together with Kyouko [[spoiler: and even goes to far as to attempt forcing Ren to admit that he loves Kyouko and telling Kyouko bluntly that Ren loves her -- Ren gets annoyed with this behavior, while Kyouko completely ignores it.]]
** On another ship, [[spoiler:Shoko]] in later chapters [[spoiler: serves as the opposing Shipper On Deck, as a Sho/Kyouko fangirl. She, at first, doesn't believe that they are not dating. Later, she tries to make Sho admit that he has feelings toward Kyouko, going so far as to]] -- in the Valentine's arc -- [[spoiler:take him to visit Kyouko at work on Valentine's Day to "win her back". He proceeds to steal her FirstKiss in front of Ren (and Yashiro) but turns the situation into a declaration of war on Ren rather than a proclamation of love for Kyouko]]
* ''[[Anime/{{Persona 4}} Persona 4: The Animation]]'' has Yosuke trying to be this for Yu/Chie.
* Ino and Kakashi from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' shipped Asuma/Kurenai before ''anyone'' else was wise to their relationship. In one scene, Ino knows the flowers Asuma wants are for Kurenai before he even tells her.
** Naruto ships Shikamaru/Temari. He gave Shikamaru a big "good for you" grin and believed Shikamaru and Temari were on a date when they were seen walking together.
** Let's not forget the Highschool AU omakes where Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba and Chouji are revealed as Naruto/Hinata fans and [[DatePeepers follow them when they go on a date]]. Yeah, AlternateUniverse, I know. Still cute.
*** Neji also appears to ship Naruto and Hinata in canon, suggesting that Hinata should see Naruto off.
**** Although it's ambiguous in Neji's case, since there is also a scene pre-Shippuden, where he finds out Hinata has a crush on Naruto and frowns afterwards, appearing quite annoyed. ''[[RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth Naruto SD]]'', which exaggerates all characters' traits, portrays Neji as a KnightTemplarBigBrother to Hinata, who sends Naruto flying every time Naruto comes close to Hinata. Since Neji's traits are exaggerated there, he may not be too keen on the idea of Naruto and Hinata together in the original either.
** Sai told Sakura how Naruto feels about her, however he also subverts it by saying that Naruto's feelings for Sakura (and Sasuke) are causing Naruto nothing but pain. Subverted later, though: Sai is also the one who tells Naruto that Sakura is among those who want to kill Sasuke... because she loves Sasuke so much that she wants to spare him from more suffering, even if that means Naruto will hate her. This means he ''looked'' like a [=NaruSaku=] fan, but it was far from the truth.
*** Konohamaru and Gamakich both imply they think Sakura is Naruto's girlfriend at two different points in part 1, even both using the same extended pinkie hand gesture that, in Japan, is used to signal "girlfriend".
** One could interpret Naruto's refusal of Sakura's feelings as a sign that he wants Sasuke and Sakura together. He believes that her love might save him and says "her smile is prettiest when he is around".
** In the flashbacks, [[spoiler: Nagato (young Pein)]] was a [[spoiler: Konan/Yahiko fanboy.]]
** In the latest filler episode, Team 8 has had an encounter with a White Zetsu infiltrator. After escaping the mine that the Zetsu were using to enter Allied territory, [[TheStoic Shino]] refers to Hinata's feelings for Naruto as the most crucial secret of the Allied Forces.
** Not to mention that one admittedly terrible filler where Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto ship Kakashi and [[GirlOfTheWeek Hanare]]. They stalk the two and even give them flowers as a means of giving their blessing.
* In ''MacrossFrontier'', Nanase ships Alto and Ranka. Michel and Klan tend to ship [[DudeLooksLikeALady Alto]] and [[TheOjou Sheryl]], however both are inconsistent; they mostly want Alto-hime to [[LoveTriangle quit stringing them along and pick one.]]
* In the original ''{{Macross}}'' series, the BridgeBunnies ship [[AcePilot Hikaru]] / [[BrokenBird Misa]]. The most vocal ones are [[CoolBigSis Claudia]] and [[{{Meganekko}} Vanessa]], who [[spoiler: confronts Hikaru about Misa's feelings for him at some point.]]
** Max Jenius/Sterling also shipped Hikaru/Misa. He and Hayato Kakizaki/Ben Dixon got the "privilege" to see them [[FakeOutMakeOut kiss to distract the Zentraedi holding them hostage]], after all.
** Most of this is brought over into the {{Macekre}}d adaptation, ''{{Robotech}}'': Claudia and Vanessa often try to get Rick to realize his feelings for Lisa, as in the original, and Max still has front row to Rick and Lisa's kiss.
* In ''Anime/SuperDimensionCavalrySouthernCross'', a.k.a. ''{{Robotech}} Second Generation'', [[ActionGirl Dana/Jeanne]] supported her best friend Bowie's love for Musicaa despite the DatingCatwoman aspect.
** JustifiedTrope in the ''Robotech'' continuity: Dana's the result of a similar relationship (a human Veritech ace and the female Zentraedi who micronized herself and snuck aboard to kill him for beating her in battle but fell in love with him), so she can understand Bowie's plea better than anyone else.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' has so many examples it's probably tidier to sort by the shipped pairs:
** Negi/Konoka: As [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v01/c001/26.html supported]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v09/c079/15.html three]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v36/c331/10.html times]] by her grandfather Konoemon. The cheerleading team girls as well (Misa, Madoka Sakurako), after [[DatePeepers seeing them shopping together]], though Ayaka overrides them.
** Negi/Nodoka: Yue, Haruna, Asakura, Setsuna, Asuna and Konoka.
** Negi/Yue: Haruna. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v37/c336/14.html Makie]] and [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v37/c336/15.html Natsumi]] have joined in. (Warning, there are SPOILERS in these links.)
** Negi/[[spoiler:Nodoka/Yue]]: Nodoka. (She initially ''thought'' she was Negi/Yue, but [[CovertPervert then she read her own mind.]])
** Negi/[[spoiler:[[{{Kuudere}} Chisame]]]]: Jack Rakan.
** Negi/[[spoiler:[[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Chachamaru]]]]: Asakura and Hakase. [[http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-sensei-negima/337/4 And MAYBE Evangeline]], though she's mostly just pushing the latter party to ''try'' for a relationship.
*** A variation of this one is seen later, as Negi/[[spoiler:Chachamaru/Evangeline... coming ''from Chachamaru herself''. Or at least her LotusEaterMachine, which shows them WalkingTheEarth together.]]
** Negi/[[spoiler:[[IronWoobie Ako]]]] and Negi/[[spoiler:[[GenkiGirl Makie]]]]: Akira. [[spoiler: Though she seems [[MatchmakerCrush to have some interest on Negi too]].]]
** Negi/[[spoiler:[[AntiVillain Fate]]]]: [[spoiler:Tsukuyomi]], who is so adamant about the [[spoiler:FoeYay]] that [[spoiler:she taunts Fate by telling him she's gonna finish Negi off herself... and is utterly ''delighted'' when he immediately reacts, defeats her [[CloseCallHaircut and chops off her long hair]].]]
*** Pheh, even [[spoiler:''[[RealityWarper Dynamis]]'']] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v33/c301/4.html can see it.]]
*** Pffft, as of the latest update, [[spoiler:Fate himself]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v37/c336/17.html admits it pretty openly.]] One has to wonder how come it took Negi to reach [[spoiler: EvenTheGuysWantHim]] status...
** Negi/[[spoiler:Fate/[[DarkMagicalGirl Luna a.k.a. Shiori]]: Luna herself, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v33/c297/15.html according to her share of the]] LotusEaterMachine in which she, Negi and Fate walk to school together.]]
** Konoka/Setsuna: '''''Everyone''''' ships Konoka and Setsuna. [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Konoka]] [[TheTease may or may not be aware of this]]. [[spoiler:Which may have influenced her and Setsuna's Pactio.]]
** Kotarou/[[spoiler:Natsumi]]: Haruna and Mama Bear. Possibly Chizuru, as she kinda helped it get started.
** Nagi/[[spoiler:Arika]]: The Ala Rubra, [[spoiler:including Kurt Godel, who has feelings for Arika himself.]]
** [[spoiler:Ako/Tohsaka]]: Mama Bear, who encouraged him to [[DanceOfRomance dance with her]] in the huge ball... [[spoiler: before things go horribly wrong and she and Tohsaka [[NeverSayDie got rewritten]].]]
** Asuna/Takahata: Ayaka, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/8.html as seen here.]] [[spoiler:When Takahata [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/14.html rejects Asuna]] because [[HeroicSelfDeprecation he doesn't believe]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/18.html he's worthy of love]], [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v15/c131/19.html Ayaka is the one who comforts her]].]]
** And of course Chamo ships every pairing that he's aware of, mostly because he gets oodles of cash every time he brokers a pactio[[hottip:*: a magical contract where a mage gives a mundane partner power and possibly a powerful artifact in exchange for aid in battle]], and since the pactios are typically made by kissing...
* Briefly in ''[[BloodPlus Blood+]]'', where Mao tries to set up Kai and Saya, who aren't romantically attracted to each other (which averts [[BrotherSisterIncest another trope]]).
** Kai ''[[BodyguardCrush is]]'', but holds back because he knows Saya cares for him but really does think of him as a brother, nothing more and nothing less.
** And this is despite Mao [[MatchmakerCrush having a crush on Kai too.]]
* Joe, Jinpei and Ryu to Ken and Jun on ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman''. At the end, [[spoiler: Joe even tells Ken and Jun to quit the team and build a life together as he's dying.]]
* Chika Oguie from ''{{Genshiken}}'' [[YaoiFangirl ships Madarame/Sasahara]]. [[spoiler:In a twist, it helps cement her own pairing with Sasahara at the end of the series.]]
* Adale in ''TheGoodWitchOfTheWest'', who [[spoiler:gleefully writes what amounts to in-universe {{Yaoi}} fanfics that unsubtly pair off both of the female lead's male suitors with each other. It is implied that the reason she fantasizes about this is so she can claim the heroine for herself, although nothing comes of it.]]
* Kagome Higurashi from ''Manga/InuYasha'' ships Sango and Miroku; when RomanticFalseLead Kuranosuke Takeda proposes marriage to Sango, Kagome gets more worked up about it than either of them, and gets mad at Miroku for not protesting until he patiently explains that it's Sango's decision and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy if it would make her happy then it's not his place to interfere]].
** Rin supports Sesshomaru and Kagura, becoming very excited when she thinks Kagura might like Sesshomaru, tries to convince Jaken that she's right, and says they should trust her more after she comes to this conclusion -- seemingly trying to get them closer together. (ep. 167)
** Not to mention Miroku, Sango and Shippo ship Inu-Yasha and Kagome pretty hard, and get angry at him whenever he seems to show feelings for his [[CameBackWrong sorta dead]] ex... who also happens to be Kagome's previous incarnation.
* [[RedBaron Devil Princess of Jurai]], Seto Kamiki is the official [[TheMatchmaker matchmaker]] of the ''TenchiMuyo'' Ryo-Oh-Ki timeline. Marrying off her numerous friends and relatives ([[{{Polyamory}} usually to more than one person]]) seems to be her main passion, which take almost all her free time -- that is, when she isn't [[ManBehindTheMan manipulating]] [[TheEmperor her son-in-law]], or [[ActionMom chasing pirates back and forth]].
** However, not all the people appreciate her efforts. Makes sense considering [[JerkAss she loves to deliberately screw with people's love lives for the hell of it]].
* In ''ThePrinceOfTennis'' Momo, Inui and Eiji are Ryoma/Sakuno shippers. In the anime, so is Ryoma's ''father'' Nanjiroh.
** In last manga chapter/OAV: [[spoiler:Inui comments on how naive Tezuka is as he hears the other tell Fuji to not speak about [[WhenHeSmiles how he *can* smile]], and this makes Inui look like a Tezuka/Fuji fanboy.]]
* Suzu Sakuma in the ''MarmaladeBoy'' manga, who, when Meiko says she is in love with someone that she can't be with, jumps a mile to the conclusion that this someone is ''obviously'' her best friend's boyfriend and Suzu's tutor, Yuu. She concludes that Meiko and Yuu would be the most beautiful couple ever and plots accordingly to break up Yuu and Miki. Made absolutely hilarious by the fact that a) Meiko is actually pining for her [[HotForStudent ex-teacher]] and b) her own cousin Satoshi is Yuu's best friend and absolutely nuts for Meiko. LoveDodecahedron? Oh yeah.
** Note that in the original draft of the story, Meiko ''was'' supposed to end up with Yuu [[spoiler: after Namura's death and, apparently, Miki getting hitched back with Ginta]]....
** Miki starts shipping Meiko/Namura, then also becomes a Ginta/Arimi fan. Her boyfriend Yuu doesn't ship Meiko/Namura so openly, but the fact that [[spoiler: he was their SecretKeeper]] should say something.
** Tsutomu starts as Arimi's DoggedNiceGuy, but when she makes clear that she loves Ginta, he gives up and becomes their biggest fanboy.
* Fairies in ''MahoujinGuruGuru'' love to gossip about love. Put a potential couple in front of them and they'll go out of their way to play Matchmaker.
* In ''HanaYoriDango'', Shigeru ships Tsukushi/Tsukasa. Curiously, Tsukasa is her ''[[ArrangedMarriage arranged fiancé]]''.
** Akira and Soujiro sometimes join in, too.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': [[FanGirl Brianna]], [[CoolBigSis Soledad]], [[LargeHam Harley]], and [[WithFriendsLikeThese Drew's own Roselia]] are [=ContestShippers=]. Even ''Jessie'' seemed genuinely interested in the proceedings, talking about love and romance upon seeing them and weirding the hell out of James and Meowth.
** Poor Ash Ketchum has been shipped with every female companion in the series by some Character of the Day or other. For instance, Lyra (the [=HeartGold/SouldSilver=] female lead) showed herself to be a Pearlshipper (Ash/Dawn).
** The episode "[[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP100 Wherefore Art Thou Pokémon]]" has Ash's group (and ''specially'', [[CutenessProximity Misty]]) fervently shipping the male Nidoran Tony and the female Nidoran Maria. (Note the ''Theatre/WestSideStory'' ShoutOut). Their owners Ralph and Emily were quite bitter rivals, so they try to hitch them up too and make them a BattleCouple. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming And it ultimately works.]]
** In that same episode, Tracey, [[TheScrappy who had quite a hatedom by then]], frequently [[ShipTease teased Ash and Misty about having feelings]] for each other and actually seemed to be more of a shipper than anyone else before or after would be on the show (Team Rocket had a laugh about it, but were ultimately more interested in catching Pikachu earlier in the season).
** In the Japanese version of ''Anime/{{Pokemon 2000}}'', Jessie tells Misty and Melody that they're too young to worry about relationships, and James adds that "even we don't talk about such things". Meowth responds to Jessie and James by saying, "Whatever you say. You two act love-love all the time!" In the English dub, Meowth's line is changed to "Yous two don't need the opposite sex 'cuz you got each other!". He promptly gets yelled at for his trouble.
** Dawn, May (and maybe Ash) appear to be [=LagomorphShippers=] (Pikachu/Buneary). Bonus points in that that's a perfectly legitimate pairing in the games.
** Spoofed with [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Oscar_and_Andi Oscar and Andi]], a BattleCouple and {{Captain Ersatz}}s of [[RoseOfVersailles Oscar and Andre]] who just won't stop shipping Ash with May and Jessie with James.
** In ''Best Wishes'' [[HotBlooded Stephan]] seems to be a [=SommelierShipper=] (Cilan/Burgundy) judging by his interaction with both of them and is obviously trying to get the two do stuff together (AKA the Sommelier battle). [[{{Tsundere}} Burgundy]] didn't take this well and [[{{Adorkable}} Cilan]] [[OblivioustoLove seems oblivious]] (or is he?).
** Max, in the Japanese version, is a subtle Advanceshipper, since he mentions that he was happy in seeing his sister and Ash travelling together.
* ''YoureUnderArrest'': Pretty much ''[[EveryoneCanSeeIt every]]'' single member of the Bokuto police station is a Miyuki/Nakajima shipper.
* ''AshitaNoNadja'': Nadja Applefield ships Sylvie/Raphael. Sylvie, in return, ships Nadja/Francis, though she's more aware of how LoveHurts...
** Marianne Hamilton ships Nadja/[[spoiler:Keith]], since she's got a crush on Nadja's love interest [[spoiler: and Keith's younger twin brother]] Francis and having Nadja go the [[spoiler: SettleForSibling]] was would let her have a chance on him. She even admits it to Nadja herself in one of their talks.
** Julietta is a subversion, as when Nadja is caught with her feelings for [[spoiler:Keith and Francis]], she tells Nadja [[spoiler:"choose the guy YOU want and not the one you feel obligued to love back" but doesn't explicitely show preference for either of Nadja's love interests.]]
* Everyone in ''XxxHOLiC'' seems to ship Doumeki/Watanuki. Even Himawari, the girl Watanuki has a crush on.
** On one such occasion, Watanuki even says that the entire female camp is against him.
** Not just all females: ''even Mokona'' ships Doumeki/Watanuki. He's shown to constantly try to hint to Watanuki that Doumeki likes him -- including chiding Watanuki for berating Doumeki, as Doumeki is trying to spend time with Watanuki because he wants to "make sure Watanuki isn't hurt... in heart, or in ''body''."
*** Though Haruka seems to have reluctantly begun to accept (and ship?!) Yuuko/Watanuki, ''literally'' giving Watanuki a heart-to-heart IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer talk. Wonder how Doumeki would feel if he knew that he was betrayed by his old man.
* Shari of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' ships Erio and Caro, even supplying Erio a date itinerary during the rookies' day-off in ''[=StrikerS=]''. An itinerary that the two of them looked at confusedly and treated like any other order from above. [[ToyShip They're kids after all]].
** In the ''Manga/ViVid'' manga, half of the Numbers come to check out the sparring matches between Vivio and [[DarkMagicalGirl Heidi Ingvalt]] "because it's romantic." The other half just want to make sure nobody gets permanently hurt.
** And if the ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs A's]]'' DistantFinale is anything to go by, Amy ships Nanoha and Yuuno. When she calls him, she asks how things are progressing between them, and sounds disappointed when he says they're nothing more than friends.
* In ''[[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Slayers NEXT]]'', Amelia reveals herself as a Lina/Gourry fangirl after [[spoiler: Lina fakes her death to kill the demon Mazenda and recover her powers (which Mazenda has sealed away), which prompts Gourry to call her insensitive and ask "don't you know how I feel about you?" Amelia perks up at this, claims she saw this coming from a mile ago. and drags a bemused Zelgadis away, insisting that they give a now embarrassed Lina and still clueless Gourry some privacy]].
* KaleidoStar: Sora, Anna, Ken, Marion and Mia are Kalos/Sarah shippers. [[spoiler:Their OTP becomes canon soon]].
** Sora also ships [[GentleGiant Jerry]] / [[HospitalHottie Kate]]. [[spoiler: Another one that goes canon.]]
* The ''{{Gundam}}'' franchise has plenty of these, believe it or not:
** Hoy and Min, the grandkids of the man whose boat Domon is staying in, heartily ship [[HotScientist Rain Mikamura]] and [[TheHero Domon Kasshu]] in ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]].'' Hoy even kicks Chibodee in the shins for trying to ask Rain out for lunch.
*** Also, Rain and Domon are [[TeamChef Sai Saici]] / [[{{Moe}}e Cecile Holgar]] shippers.
** By the end of the series, ''everyone'' ships Domon/Rain. Chibodee included. [[spoiler:Even Allenby, [[MatchmakerCrush who is in love with Domon too]], and says "IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy" [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming in one of the most beautiful scenes]] of the GrandFinale]].
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'': No matter what the YaoiFangirls say, practically '''everyone''' tries to get [[HitmanWithAHeart Heero]] and [[ActualPacifist Relena]] to admit their feelings for each other. Late in the series Duo, Trowa, and Quatre encourage him to rescue her from [[LaResistance White Fang]] ([[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone by himself]]) and discuss the relationship with surprising accuracy. In the manga ''Battlefield of Pacifists'' Duo and Dorothy make sure that the two meet for the first time in months and spend a good amount of time together. Hell, even [[HumongousMecha Wing Zero]] seems to be pushing Heero in Relena's direction a couple of times.
** Depending on whether one sees [[HoYay Trowa and Quatre as a couple]] or not, Heero, Duo, and possibly Relena could be seen as Shippers on Deck; if not, they simply recognize that Quatre's going through a HeroicBSOD over [[spoiler:apparently killing Trowa]] and that they need to meet up in order to clear things up.
** Roybea Roy, Shingo Mouri, Kid Salsamille, Jamil Neate and ''especially'' Toniya Marme from ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' ship Garrod/Tifa.
** Mileina Vashti in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'' ships Allelujah/[[spoiler:Marie]] and Setsuna/Marina, [[VerbalTic desu!]]. [[spoiler: And she actually is right about the first one (both if you include the movie's manga adaptation)!]]. Setsuna F. Seiei himself ships [[StarCrossedLovers Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy]] back together throughout season 2. [[spoiler: He even slashed off Andrei Smirnov's A-Head when the latter [[MurderTheHypotenuse attempted to kill Saji]].]]
** Rather darkly used in MobileSuitGundamZZ. Later in the series, the Argama crew began to seriously consider the pros of a [[DatingCatwoman Judau/Haman]] relationship... because they were quite aware that she was [[MagnificentBitch a ruthless and exceptionally dangerous dictator]], and would happily take any weapon they could get to stop her.
* In the ''KimagureOrangeRoad'' manga, Kyosuke's younger sister Manami ships Kyousuke/Madoka... while her twin Kurumi ships Hikaru/Kyousuke. HilarityEnsues.
** Their cousin Akane ships Hikaru/Kyosuke too, specially because she seems to [[SchoolgirlLesbians want Madoka for herself.]]
* Judging by her reaction to [[spoiler:the confession scene in]] Episode 17, little princess Ana Medaiyu in ''OvermanKingGainer'' seems to ship Gainer/Sara. And, in some fanfiction, so does Cynthia.
* In ''Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar'', every named kid except Ikumi Kaidou and the ship-ees are rooting for the PuppyLove ship of Amami Mamoru and Hatsuno Hana, who share a ChildhoodMarriagePromise. At the end of the series, [[spoiler:before Mamoru and Galeon return to the Green World, the kids dress Hana in full tiny brides' regalia and stage a wedding, complete with kiss, to the wistful tune of "Someday in the Sea of Stars"]].
* Urd of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' ships Keiichi/Belldandy and frequently tries to meddle in their relationship to advance it, in contrast with her younger sister Skuld who is actively ''anti-''Keiichi/Belldandy.
** Megumi, Keiichi's younger sister, and Peorth, a wish-granting goddess like Belldandy (except she specializes in one's [[AuthorAppeal deepest, darkest desires]]) also make efforts to bring the two together.
* ''MidoriNoHibi''. In one chapter, Nao gives Ayase one of her father's "love potions". Ayase wonders why Nao did this, but passes it off as nothing. Later, we see Nao holding a notebook of a drawing with the three (four if you include Midori) together, holding hands.
* In ''RanmaOneHalf'', Ukyō Kuonji tries to set up Akane/Ryōga a few times, since she's in love with Akane's fiancé Ranma. Unfortunately, since Ryōga is a combination of NoSocialSkills and [[CanNotSpitItOut horribly shy]], it's usually a disaster. Shampoo also tries a cruder version of this by ''brainwashing'' Akane into falling in love with Ryōga, with equally disastrous results.
** In the manga Ranma himself ships Ryōga and Akari, and so does Akane.
** In at least one episode of the anime, Mousse ships Ranma and Akane. Of course, he makes no secret of the fact that's because it should [[PairTheSpares leave him with Shampoo by default]].
** Akane blatantly ships Kasumi and Dr. Tōfū once she gets over her own PrecociousCrush on him, despite Kasumi's obliviousness to Dr. Tōfū's feelings.
** And, of course the uber-examples, Sōun and Genma, who engaged Ranma and Akane in the first place and ship them at every opportunity thereafter. Kasumi, Nabiki, and Nodoka all have their moments of Ranma/Akane shipping as well. Dr. Tofu seems to ship Ranma/Akane right from the start, as well.
** When Genma was going to make Ryoga his aire to the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts he along with Tendo, Kasumi, and Nabiki start to ship Ryoga and Akane.
* Itsuki Koizumi of ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' spends whole speechs in an attempt to clue Kyon in on Haruhi's feelings for him. [[SelectiveObliviousness It doesn't work.]]
* ''CaptainTsubasa'': Pretty much the whole Nankatsu JHS Soccer Team (their TeamDad doc included) ships Sanae/Tsubasa. [[spoiler: Evne Kumi, Sanae's love rival, joins the group without any misgivings or reservations after Tsubasa turns her own confession down.]]
** The kids in the Furano team ship Yoshiko/Matsuyama. The TeamMom assistant and the TeamDad captain... perfect!
** Takeshi is a Hyuga/Maki fanboy in the manga.
* There is a scene in the ''Manga/YuGiOh'' manga where Mai Kujaku is seen actively setting up Yuugi Mutou and Anzu Mazaki. Later, just before Battle City starts up Mai pointedly teases Anzu when it looks like she's on a date with Yuugi. It's not really, but it's the thought that counts.
** Can't speak for the manga, but Atemu in the anime is very supportive of Yuugi/Anzu. He's teased and prodded Yuugi about his crush on Anzu on multiple occasions, and he was quite disappointed in episode 53 when he realized that ''he'' was the one meant to go on the date with Anzu, not Yuugi.
** According to some fans, Anzu might be a Jounochi/Mai shipper, getting angry at Jou more than once when he blows chances at wooing her.
* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'': [[NaughtyNuns Eda]] ships Rock/Revy. Not even Revy's death threats can disuade her.
* ''MagicKnightRayearth'': Meet Caldina, the local CoolBigSis and [[LadyOfWar Umi]] / [[TheBeastMaster Ascot]] fangirl.
** [[{{Bokukko}} Hikaru]] and Umi were [[{{Meganekko}} Fuu]] / [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ferio]] shippers.
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Ed seems to be slightly supportive of [[BodyguardCrush Royai]]. "And don't worry the Lieutenant." Al is a [[BelligerentSexualTension Edwin]] shipper. "Brother is so youthful!"
** Eventually it gets to the point where Al and Winry love to tease each other about their respective love interests, Winry being an [[HugeGuyTinyGirl Almei]] shipper.
** Also, Riza seems to ship Edwin, or at least she likes teasing Edward about it.
--->'''Riza''': "You love Winry, don't you?"
--->'''Ed''': *SpitTake*
** Even ''[[HumanoidAbomination Gr]][[NobleDemon eed]]'' gets in on it, shipping another BodyguardCrush instance between [[{{Moe}} Lan]] [[{{Tsundere}} Fan]] and [[KingIncognito Ling]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity Yao]].
--->'''Greed''': "That's ''some'' woman you got there. I never knew you were such a stud! Where you been hiding her all this time?
--->'''Ling''': "Well, you know, I'm full of surprises."
*** Hohenheim appears to ship this too, as demonstrated when he asks Lan Fan (about Ling)
--->'''Hohenheim''': "He's ''very'' special to you, isn't he?"
** And then there's Mei and her [[spoiler: Royai]] shipping, too. [[spoiler: She ''did'' choose to help save Riza rather than take the Philosopher's Stone...]]
** Also, General Grumman ships Roy with his granddaughter. [[spoiler:Supplemental material verifies that this granddaughter is Riza...so he's a Royai shipper too.]]
* ''MamotteShugogetten'': Shoko and Nana ship Shaorin/Tasuke, and have an active alliance to try and get them to hook up.
* Japan of ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' may count. When Italy asks for advice on a designing a war poster, Japan suggests putting Italy and Germany's names under an TogetherUmbrella. Austria also gives Germany dating advice in the Valentine's comics.
* In ''FullMetalPanic'', Kaname's best friend Kyoko ships Kaname/Sōsuke like crazy. She does everything she can on Kana's side to get her to like him (including making teasing comments to make Kaname realize her feelings for Sōsuke, which more often than not actually ''does'' work). Exactly ''why'' she would want to pair her best friend up with the violent [[SociopathicHero sociopath]] that is constantly [[MadBomber bombing]] and [[TriggerHappy shooting around]] the school for [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} outlandish reasons]] remains a mystery.
** Kalinin is a Kaname/Sōsuke shipper. He's shown to hope that Sōsuke will "open his heart" and [[DefrostingIceQueen become more human]] if he ends up with her, and apparently started thinking of her as a hopeful daughter-in-law for his adopted son.
** And then there's Melissa Mao, who, although less vocal about it, is a Tessa/Sōsuke shipper. In the novels, she even talks to Kaname, makes sure that Kaname is aware that Tessa is in love with him, and tells Kaname to be nice to Tessa. Mao proceeds to try to get Kaname to give an answer about whether or not she likes Sōsuke, and when Kaname gives a (rather ambiguous) answer that appears to be in the negative, Mao responds "that's good" and continues to show how she feels sorry for Tessa's passionate, but suppressed and [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited love]] for Sōsuke.
* In ''ProjectARMS'', Yugo ships Ryo and Katsumi after realizing how much they love each other. [[spoiler:Keith Green does too, though it's very brief since he dies not long after he decides this.]]
* Almost all of the cast in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' ship Simon and Nia, and early on a number of them were Kamina/Yoko shippers, too. Leeron is an outright shipping fanboy.
* Hilariously played in ''{{Mai-HiME}}'': Mai Tokiha's [[YaoiFangirl classmates]] [[HoYay ship]] her soft-spoken, [[IllGirl sickly]] little brother Takumi with his [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan manly man roommate]], Akira Okuzaki. [[OfficialCouple Their fantasies come true]], except that [[{{Bifauxnen}} Akira]] [[SweetPollyOliver is not quite as manly as "he", or better said, "she" seems]]...
** Shiho asks Mai to become one for her and Yuuichi in Episode 6, and Mai accepts. Unfortunately, when Yuuichi [[WhatAnIdiot expresses his love for Mai with Shiho present]] in Episode 13, Shiho becomes very angry and accuses Mai of lying to her.
* In ''KeroroGunsou'', Giroro's pet cat seems to know her owner has a serious crush on Natsumi, and seems to alternate between being jealous and resenting her for [[AllLoveIsUnrequited not reciprocating,]] [[ObliviousToLove or even noticing]], Giroro's feelings.
** Natsumi seems to be this for Fuyuki/Momoka. In one episode, Momoka called Fuyuki, causing Natsumi to have a mischievous look, nudge Fuyuki, and encourage him to go get her. However, Fuyuki, being ObliviousToLove, didn't get it. Aki seems to be one as well to a lesser extent.
* Yumi Miyamoto of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' is very, ''very'' determined to get Satou and Takagi together. It's not just seeing her best friend end up with the perfect man for her, though; she takes delight in teasing those two about their relationship's tendency to [[AlmostKiss not * quite* coalesce]]. [[spoiler: After Satou and Takagi finally ''do'' get to kiss, and Shiratori has found the real target of his SingleTargetSexuality (Satou was a false positive), Yumi complains that it's suddenly gotten a bit [[VictoryIsBoring boring]], now that she no longer has anything to aim her teasing at. Amusingly, this has led her to work to make sure that the latest potential couple to appear on her radar ''don't'' end up together ... [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption futilely]].]]
** On the other hand, Ran ships [[SlapSlapKiss Heiji/Kazuha]] ''and'' [[CannotSpitItOut Makoto/Sonoko.]] Not to mention her attempts to bring [[BelligerentSexualTension her parents Kogoro and Eri]] back together...
*** And on the other ''other'' hand, Sonoko was ''very'' reluctant to ship Ran and Shinichi, since she beleives he's not good enough for her.
* [[TokenMiniMoe Yukari]] from ''RosarioToVampire'' ships Moka and Tsukune, primarily because [[BiTheWay she simultaneous crushes on both of them]] and she thinks [[OT3 getting a threesome]] would be easier [[TenchiSolution if the other two are already together]].
** [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Fong-Fong]] also ships the two of them, mostly because he wants them to join the mafia as a powerful BattleCouple. [[FridgeBrilliance Which makes even more sense]] when you realize his parents are ''also'' a BattleCouple.
* In ''TheWallflower'', Noi becomes a Kyohei/Sunako shipper early on, regularly fangirling about their "moments" together. The rest of the major characters eventually follow suit, trying their damnedest best to get Kyohei to realize his feelings for Sunako as the BelligerentSexualTension between the two of them becomes increasingly clear in later volumes.
* Weird variation in ''Manga/SchoolRumble''. [[TheDitz Tenma]] [[GenkiGirl Tsukamoto]] knows that [[TheHero Kenji]] [[{{Delinquents}} Harima]] is deeply and desperately in love with a young girl whose name she doesn't know, and actively supports him in his pursue of her. Something else Tenma ignores is... that ''she'' is the girl Harima is crushing on.
** The random old guy who shows up to give Hinai mysterious advice (no, he's not an OldMaster, he's just some guy) ships Mikoto with Hinai or Aso, depending on who's closest at the moment.
-->'''Old Guy:''' He's off his guard! If you want to score, now's your chance, you sexy little squirrel!
-->'''Mikoto:''' Say ''what!?''
* ''WithTheLight'' features this in a one-off scene: after one mother comments on how happy her son was when Hikaru (an autistic child) brushed against his cheek, another mother grinned knowingly as she pulled out a drawing pad and pencil...
* Lelouch and Shirley in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' are shipped by most of the Student Council, specially Milly.
** Milly ships ''everyone/everyone''. Just remember Cupid's day. It's likely that sexual activity at the academy really increased during her mandate as president.
** Supplementary materials reveal Nunally as a Lelouch/C.C. shipper. So was [[spoiler: her and Lulu's mother, Empress Marianne: she openly teases C.C. about it, and gets a flat "HeIsNotMyBoyfriend" reply from her. ItRunsInTheFamily, indeed.]].
*** Kaguya ships Lelouch with Kallen and CC, ''along with herself'' in a TenchiSolution, as his personal [[http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/bing_ah/Code%20Geass/?action=view¤t=cgr2_7-62-3CourtLadiesofLelouch.jpg&mediafilter=images harem]].
** Asahina ships [[BadAss Todoh]] / [[ActionGirl Chiba]], suggesting that Chiba "confess already" early in Episode 5 of R2, and his comments about Chiba having a reason to live on after saving her life in the second battle for Tokyo causes her to blush, indicating she knows what he's implying.
** And Lelouch seems to ship his best friend Suzaku with his little sister Nunally...
* Junpei gets shipped by several people in ''NyanKoi'':
** His family seems to ship him with the Kirishima twins.
** Nagi supports Junpei/[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Mizuno]], [[spoiler:although her brother has stated that he supports Junpei/Nagi]].
** Nyamsus ships Junpei/[[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Kan]][[VictoriousChildhoodFriend ako]].
** [[spoiler:Akari pushes for Junpei/Kanako, although she doesn't mind Junpei/Mizuno too as long as she gets Kotone out of the LoveDodecahedron]].
** [[spoiler:Mizuno, being still oblivious to her own feelings fr Junpei (along with an IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy), seems quite supportive on Junpei/Kanako, to the point of believing that the two are already dating]].
* ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'' has pretty much every character as a ShipperOnDeck, Combined rather painfully with IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy. At first, Taiga and Ryuuji do this for each other (with Ryuuji/Minori and Taiga/Yuusaku respectively). Meanwhile, every other character not genetically related to Taiga ends up at some point shipping Ryuuji/Taiga.
* Three notable ones in ''Manga/{{Kekkaishi}}''. The first is [[http://www.mangareader.net/144-9630-9/kekkaishi/chapter-219.html Madoka]], the best friend of the female lead, Tokine, who always overtly hints to Tokine that Yoshimori, the male lead and Tokine's childhood friend, would be a pretty good match for Tokine even though he's two years younger and Tokine has a preference for older, taller guys. The other two are Kyoko and Ayano, the [[ThoseTwoGuys two best friends]] of Yurina, a classmate of Yoshimori. They think Yurina's meetings with Yoshimori on the roof (which were actually discussions about Yurina's supernatural awareness) were attempts by Yuirna to confess to Yoshimori.
* Magma from ''Anime/SpiderRiders'' seems to be a Hunter/Corona shipper. While [[spoiler:the hero Quake/Brade]] seems to think Hunter/Aqune would be just as good as a pairing.
* Walker from ''{{Durarara}}'' ships Shinra/Celty enough that he's written fanfic about it. Erika, on the other hand, [[YaoiFangirl tends to ship in a different direction]]...
-->'''Erika:''' Ne ne, Shizu-chan must like Iza-Iza a lot, doesn't he? Kind of like Boys Love between two guys?\\
'''Walker, Kadota''' and '''Celty:''' ''No.''
** And surprisingly, Izaya is a Shinra/Celty shipper but this only applies to Shinra's side because he won't hesitate to mock the two whenever Celty is nearby. The Valentine's day comic proves though that he does care for Shinra if he's willing to put up with his spazzing about the holiday and give him ''actual'' advice without asking for money or {{troll}}ing him afterwards.
* Both Kakeru and Uta, in ''OnegaiMyMelody'', are CannotSpitItOut types. Unsurprisingly various characters attempt to ship them -- Flat the mouse, in particular, exists for no other purpose. And in Season 2, even Kakeru's romantic rival Jun Hiiragi can't help but plod him along.
* Installments on ''DarkerThanBlack'' (namely, the second season and {{interquel}} manga) have contained numerous instances of characters teasing [[FairCop Misaki Kirihara]] that the ''real'' reason she wants to catch BK-201 is that she has a crush on him. To be fair, they're [[ChickMagnet probably]] [[FatalAttraction right]].
* In ''FruitsBasket'', [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Mayuko]] [[BadassTeacher Shiraki]] is the Shipper on Deck for her best friend Kanna and her crush/cousin Hatori. Years after it all goes horribly wrong, she still feels guilty for taking Kanna's place in Hatori's affections.
** Momiji ships Kyo/Tohru, despite having a crush on Tohru himself. [[spoiler: In the manga, it's his warning to Kyo about the GreenEyedMonster that makes him face his own feelings for her.]]
** Kakeru ships his friend Yuki and his half-sister Machi. When he points out to Komaki that the two have a thing for each other, she also seems rather pleased by the idea. And while Ayame takes a minute to catch on ("why would you go gaga over [Machi]?") he quickly joins in on the shipping as well, trying to get her to dress up [[FetishFuel in something cute for Yuki]].
** Much like Sailor Moon, nothing pleases Tohru more than learning someone she cares for is in love, and she ships for all she's worth.
* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', the otherwise [[SeriousBusiness strait-laced]] Azusa Yumi just might possibly be one of these for [[ChristmasCake Marie Mjolnir]] / [[MadScientist Dr. Franken Stein]], judging by her rather uncharacteristic willingness to needle Marie about their past relationship.
* In ''SeireiNoMoribito'', pretty much everyone that knows Balsa and Tanda want them to get married already, Chagum in particular.
* Iwashida from ''{{SWOT}}'' ships his two new-found friends: [[BadassBookworm Manabizaki]] and [[{{Delinquents}} Hasuno]]. Mostly because the former is [[LuminescentBlush so]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial obvious]] about his crush on the latter, even though he [[{{Tsundere}} refuses to admit it]].
* Subverted in ''FushigiYuugi''. While many of the Suzaku Seishi supported Tamahome/Miaka, Tamahome's martial arts teacher and former Byakko Seishi Tokaki did NOT support their and made it clear. [[spoiler:It was a JerkassFacade, as he and Subaru knew well what happened to [[StarCrossedLovers their fellow Seishi Tatara and their Miko Suzuno]] and tried to prevent it from happening again]].
* Leaf in ''RecordOfLodossWar'' is completely convinced that Spark and Little Neese are in love. Occassionally Reena and Garrak team up with her.
* Maeda Keiji in the anime of ''SengokuBasara'' is an enthusiastic supporter of Kenshin/Kasuga, despite Kasuga's embarrassed protests.
** At the opposite end, Yukimura seems to ship Sasuke/Kasuga, again despite her protests.
* Juugo Kannagi of ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma'' is very determined to see his daughter Ayano paired with once-family outcast Kazuma, going as far as to set up circumstances such as dates to amusement parks and hot spring resorts to try to bring them together.
* In the third arc of ''SpiceAndWolf'', pretty much everyone except Amati ships Lawrence with Holo. Mark and his apprentice go to lengths to support Lawrence's scheme to win her back, despite only seeing them together once, and Dianna thinks up a secret plan to reaffirm their trust in each other. Batos also helps Lawrence out, but that's arguably just because he's taken a liking to him.
* In ''OnePiece'', several anime-only scenes have two conductors from the [[CityofCanals Water 7]] train station ship Nami and Paulie together after seeing what appeared to be, [[ShippingGoggles to them]], a breakup.
* In the classic {{shojo}} manga AishiteNight, Hideki "Hashizo" Katou's first scene is about how he dreams of becoming "someone like Cupid who appears in picture books". (Let's cut him some slack, though, [[ChildrenAreInnocent he's a kindergartener]]). Predictably, once Hashizo meets a GirlNextDoor named Yakko who may be a good girlfriend for [[PromotionToParent his older brother and caretaker]] [[TheCasanova Go]], he ships them rather hard.
* Happy from ''Manga/FairyTail'' likes to ship anyone who has feelings toward others, mostly Loke/Lucy. In fact, he ships just almost anybody, Gray/Lucy, Gray/Juvia, Ren/Sherry and [[spoiler: Daphne]]/Gray. He usually says "He/She llllllllikesss You" whenever this happens.
** Virgo does this as well towards Gray/Lucy and Natsu/Lucy, said the same thing as Happy.
** Lucy flipped this back to Happy with him being with Charle.
** Other Characters also ships with other mages within their guild, but not as much as Happy does.
*** Juvia is the fan for Natsu and Lucy, though that's probably because it means less competition for Gray.
*** Mirajane told Lucy about Natsu having feelings for her, in which she denied, resulted in many fantasies Lucy had with Natsu. It continued on when Mirajane told Lucy that Gray has feelings for her.
**** This gets real, when Gemini told Lucy about Gray that he's [[spoiler: somewhat interested in her]] as Gemini reviewed Gray's memories in his view towards Lucy.
*** Glidarts ships Natsu with Lisanna.
** By the end of the Nirvana arc, Natsu ships [[spoiler:Jellal/Erza. "You have to stay by her side!!" indeed.]]
*** If you look close enough, Jellal does the same for [[spoiler:Natsu/Erza. "I'll believe in the man Erza believes in.]] It also helps that [[spoiler:Jellal lied to Erza about having a fiance to spare her the drama of maintaining a relationship with him.]]
** With Elfman/Evergreen ShipTease picking up recently, Bixlow and Freed have begun shipping the two; Bixlow especially.
* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', the [[TheQuietOne usually sweet and quiet]] Hitomi Shizuki reacts with hilarious [[YuriFan excitement]] when she believes that her friends [[RosehairedGirl Madoka]] and [[TomBoy Sayaka's]] relationship has "[[SchoolgirlLesbians progressed]]", when it hasn't. [[spoiler:FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize that Hitomi is in love with [[IllBoy Kyousuke Kamijou]] ([[LoveTriangle who Sayaka *is* actually in love with)]] and that she was probably hoping that Sayaka was a lesbian or a lesbian-leaning bi that would prefer Madoka over Kamijou, thus both girls would be happy with their respective "love interests" and there'd be no need to "fight" over him. Overall, it doesn't end well.]]
** Sayaka plays it straighter in the manga, when she imagines [[LesYay Homura and Madoka]] embracing while calling it "the mystery of the universe"
* Mushanokouji Yurina from ''[[YuriHime Hana no Yurina Gumi]]'' is a YuriFan who enjoys shipping her classmates and setting them up.
-->''"The next thing to make is a swim team couple."''
* Kenshiro from ''FistOfTheNorthStar'' believes that Lin should love Bat, [[PrecociousCrush not him]], [[spoiler: and he gets them together at the end of the manga.]]
* In {{GE-GoodEnding}}, it's what drives the plot at first, with Yuki shipping Utsumi and Shou together. RealityEnsues.
* [[YuriFan Chitose]] of ''YuruYuri'' usually fantasizes about [[{{Tsundere}} Ayano]] and Kyouko.
-->Chitose: It's a personal preference...my heartfelt desire...my ''dream''.
** Her twin sister Chizuru, on the other hand, ships Ayano with Chitose herself.
* In episode 7 of ''[[LightNovel/BakaToTestToShoukanjuu Baka and Test Summon the Beasts]]'', all the main characters are shown to ship Yuuji/[[{{Yandere}} Shouko]].
* In ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum's'' episode 6, after Shouma Takakura takes the feverish Ringo Oginome home back home, Ringo's mother Eriko doesn't seem very convinced when Shouma says that he and Ringo are JustFriends... To be "fair", she just saw Ringo pretty much ''humping'' Shoma in a feverish pitch.
** As of episode 11, it looks like Himari might ship Shoma/Ringo. She notices that Shoma cooks a special cabbage recipe ''only'' when he wants to make up with someone else, and then deduces he's worried for Ringo and says "I hope Ringo-chan likes cabbage!" Though this being [[ThePollyanna Himari]], she might be meaning this in more of a friendshippy take. [[spoiler: Her "possessor", however... well, we don't know. [[ChaoticNeutral She's a wild card]].]]
** Even more so: ''[[TheOjou Yuri]]'', the girlfriend of Ringo's crush Tabuki, also ships it. (Conveniently for her, but still). Yuri ''does'' ask Ringo if she loves him in that same episode and isn't convinced when Ringo denies it, claiming that she could see it coming from a mile away or something like that. [[spoiler: Then it's subverted [[ShockingSwerve shockingly]] in episode 14 (when she drugs Ringo and tries to rape her [[LovingAShadow because she looks like her sister Momoka]] aka Yuri's long-lost first love) and played kinda straighter in episode 15 (when, after Shoma fails to help Ringo and is knocked out, Yuri places him next to a sleeping Ringo, and when he recovers she teassingly asks him if he won't take advantage of her).]])
* The Amakusa in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' are all for one of their own, Itsuwa, snagging TheHero Touma Kamijou. They try to arrange things to help Itsuwa out and tend to get frustrated when her shyer tendencies cause her to be too passive.
* [[{{Nana}} Oosaki Nana]] ships Hachi and Nobu and is angry and disappointed when [[spoiler: Hachi gets pregrant and chooses Takumi.]]
* In ''{{Chintsubu}}'', [[MoeAnthropomorphism Kamiya's penis]] ships him with Iwabuchi.
* In the ''Anime/{{Blade}}'' anime, [[spoiler:''Wolverine'']] gets the idea that Blade and Makoto should be a couple. They vehemently deny this.
* In Manga/{{Amakusa 1637}}, when [[spoiler: [[GadgeteerGenius Eiji]] and [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Kichou]] ]] share a kiss, [[{{Bifauxnen}} Natsuki]] and [[PluckyGirl Eri]] are seen cooing and fist-pumping in the background.
* In ''Manga/{{Switch}}'', Hiki encourages Mari's affection for Kai and tries to create opportunities for her to confess to him.
* In ''{{Otomen}}'', Juta heavily ships Asuka and Ryo, [[spoiler: because he uses them as the models for [[ShowWithinAShow the manga he draws]].]]
* In (at least the animated adaptation of) ''LightNovel/ChuunibyouDemoKoiGaShitai'', practically the entire class ships Yuuta and Rikka. This is especially noticeable at the start of episode 3, where the entire class gathers around and starts applauding at Yuuta's accidental Indirect Kiss. By episode 7, Nibutani makes it fairly clear that she believes Yuuta and Rikka are bound to be together eventually. Isshiki also takes a Yuuta/Rikka relationship as a given.
* Ishtar from ''Manga/VampireGame''. By far the best pairing she comes up with is Illsaid and Duzell, especially because she pretends Duzell is her little sister to pull it off.
* ''GunslingerGirl''. Triela is assigned to guard Mimi, a girl her age who notices her crush on her handler Hilshire and encourages her to let him know how she feels. [[WiseBeyondHerYears Being well aware]] that Hilshire isn't interested in having an affair with a fourteen-year-old cyborg killing machine whose feelings of love are likely just a side-effect of her conditioned loyalty, [[AnchoredShip Triela never follows her advice]].
* ''Manga/{{Kotoura-san}}'''s Haruka and Manabe is so clearly a couple that people in te universe just can't stop shipping them.
** In episode 3, the boys in Haruka and Manabe's class put their names under an UmbrellaOfTogetherness signifying a relationship. Manabe at first seems offended by it, but rather than take offense that they shipped them together, he complains that they forgot to add hearts to it.
** Haruka's grandfather (who is her remaining parent figure) is all for the couple, too; in episode 6 he is keen to them kiss.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comics]]
* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'': Caged Demonwolf has some very strong opinions regarding how the Emp/Ninjette/[=ThugBoy=] LoveTriangle [[OT3 should be resolved]].
* Nico briefly ships Victor and Lillie, a New York girl from the 1800s. Pretty much all of the earlier {{Runaways}} shipped Gert and Chase.
** Molly seemed to ship Xavin and Karolina first. The other Runaways seemed to join her once they realized that Xavin really wasn't going to kidnap or enslave Karolina.
* During a period in TheNineties when [[{{Superman}} Lois and Clark]] had split up, [[GreatGazoo Mr. Mxyzptlk]] of all people, tried to push them back together. Being an annoying trickster, this was not appreciated and he was firmly told that they'd resolve their problems in their own time.
* Pretty much everyone in ''ForBetterOrForWorse'' shipped Liz/Anthony. [[TheComicsCurmudgeon Pretty much]] [[CreatorsPet nobody outside of it]] [[InternetBackdraft did]].
** Except for [[TheUnfavorite April]]. [[EnsembleDarkhorse No wonder people like her.]] (It totally didn't help that Anthony was ''still married'' for part of the shilling.)
* The {{Elseworlds}} story ''SupermanRedSon'' briefly had JosefStalin of all people ship Franchise/{{Superman}}/Franchise/WonderWoman.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Sally Brown usually doesn't seem to care much about her older brother's happiness, with one notable exception: She will encourage any hint of romance between Charlie Brown and Marcie.
* In ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' Aunt May always was very vocal about wanting Peter to end up with Mary Jane Watson. You could say that May started out as TheMatchmaker, as she and MJ's Aunt Anna set up Peter and MJ's first blind date and at the time StanLee did not yet intend Peter and MJ to become the OfficialCouple. When they finally did, during the original Clone Saga, May Parker gave Mary Jane a pep talk to fight for her man when Gwen Stacy apparently returned from the dead.
** Although Roger Stern has gone on record as disliking the Watson-Parker romance, when he brought back Mary Jane to Peter's life in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #242 as "just a friend", he immediately showed Aunt May, Aunt Anna, Peter's first love Betty and her husband Ned Leeds, and Liz Osborn all doing their best to bring the two back together as a couple. Peter (then busy with his romance with the Black Cat) and Mary Jane reacted with a mixture of annoyance and amusement, but what do you know? Not that long after they did get back together and four years after MJ's return they got married.
** Later ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' stories have had Mary Jane become a Peter/Carlie shipper, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy despite her own feelings for Peter]]. [[CreatorsPet Audience reaction to this]] [[InternetBackdraft has been mixed.]]
* In ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', Gwen Stacy supported Peter and Mary Jane, proving MJ's insecurities about Gwen and Peter's relationship to be unfounded.
* In ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'', Scott's roommate Wallace seems to be fond of Scott/Ramona.
* [[GreenLantern Star Sapphire]] Mirri Riam ships Kyle Rayner and Soranik Natu. This was fine for a while, but when they broke up it goes badly. She was so dedicated to her OTP that she [[spoiler:''ravaged a planet'' to force them to work together and rekindle their romance.]] When she told Kyle and Soranik her reasons they understandably thought she was insane.
* {{Wolverine}} generally tends to stay out of the romantic lives of his fellow XMen, but when Peter Rasputin and Kitty Pryde came downstairs for breakfast the morning after [[TheyDo they finally did the deed]], [[DidYouJustHaveSex he could smell it on them]]. His two-word reaction: "'Bout time."
* A few people are this for Katchoo and Francine at various points in ''StrangersInParadise''; the moment where David and Casey handcuff the two together to hash out their differences is probably the most extreme occasion.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', Kyon's parents want to ship him [[spoiler:with Tsuruya via ArrangedMarriage]].
** Haruhi ships him with all of [[FanNickname Big Damn]] [[UnwantedHarem Harem]], including herself.
* In ''[[TotalDramaComeback Total Drama Battlegrounds]]'', the OriginalCharacter Crystal exists for this reason, shipping everyone together and making meta-references to things like [[PortmanteauCoupleName Portmanteau Couple Names]] and [[CrackShip Crack Ships]].
** Also, different characters have started taking sides in the Eva / [[ChivalrousPervert Cody]] / [[MsFanservice Anita]] LoveTriangle. So far, most interested parties are rooting for Eva, except for [[OCStandIn Ezekiel]].
* In ''TroperWorks/ThePrivateDiaryOfElizabethQuatermain'', Tom Sawyer really wants his adopted sister to hook up with their friend the invisible man. Eventually, so does everyone else, including her dead father.
* In ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson'', Viper and later Mei Ling are this for Tai Lung and Tigress.
* The ''[[http://gaangjr.nfshost.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Gaang Jr.]]'' fan-project gives us Yi Lin, a walking riff on Avatar fandom's shipping community. She's obsessed with other people's lovelives and hides all her collected "Proof" in a book supposedly about..well, ships. She's a [[YuriFan Tyzula fangirl]] in particular, although she can't get other people to see it (and if they ever do see it, they're not going to tell her since it would just make her harder to live with). Fittingly, she refuses to see that there's something going on between Irah and Hayoda.
* This is pretty much the entire point of ''OfLoveAndBunnies''. All of the original Power Rangers and, eventually, ''all'' of the Rangers want Tommy and Kim to get back together.
* In the VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} fan fiction {{Trouble}}, Johnny Saint the legendary vault dweller can see the chemistry going on between Harkness and Butch, and casually offers Harkness advice on how to deal with Butch's emotions.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''The Melting Pot'', a good part of the action is set off by Pinkie Pie telling Lyra and Bon-Bon [[LesYay they make a cute couple]] just before going on a trip. [[spoiler: In the final chapter, Pinkie turns out to be [[TheChessmaster subtly setting up]] several budding romances between background characters from the show.]]
** [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/10/story-shipping-and-handling.html Shipping and Handling]]'s basic plot is that, currently employed as a matchmaker, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Derpy Hooves]] has to play ShipperOnDeck for each of her assignments (with her first being Spike asking for an excuse for private time with Rarity).
** Spike becomes this in parts of ''Fanfic/ItTakesAVillage'', first prodding Fluttershy and Big Macintosh together. [[spoiler: In the epilogue he's finding a new date for Rarity and also working on getting together Pinkie Pie and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Caramel]]]].
** It's shown during Shining Armor's flashback arc in the ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' that Cadence's hoofmadiens and at least some of Shining's squadmates shipped the two of them prior to their getting together. And they weren't subtle about it. At all.
** ''FanFic/EarthAndSky'': Rarity plays matchmaker for Applejack and Soarin' and Apple Bloom and Pipsqueak, and takes things to almost [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] levels of planning.
** Taken up to eleven in with Rarity in the fanfic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/16594/1/Shipping-Goggles/Shipping-Goggles Shipping goggles]]''. Rarity apparently has a pair of [[ShippingGoggles the eponymous goggles]] welded to her head, as even the most innocent of interactions is treated as prime shipping fuel by the white unicorn, much to the frustration of Twilight, who can see Rarity shipping their friends.
** In ''Fanfic/{{Magnetism}}'', Rarity apparently starts shipping Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash after hearing about their awkward bath together.
** In ''FanFic/DuelNature'' both Luna and Reinolds can tell that [[BadassBookworm Twilight Sparkle]] and [[LovableNerd Bronze Bell]] are interested each other, and encourage Twilight to do something about it.
** ''Fanfic/TheElementsOfHarmonyAndTheSaviorOfWorlds'': Applejack and Mike actively try and play matchmaker between Fluttershy and Big Macintosh (AJ's actually been trying for years, hampered by Fluttershy's shyness and Big Mac not feeling good enough for her). Granny Smith eventually gets in on the act, complaining that the two of them have been laying it on too thick.
** ''Fanfic/MyLittleCastlevania'': Scootaloo ships Rainbow Dash and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Shatterstorm]]. Dash is [[SpitTake surprised]] by this, to say the least.
* [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Nepeta's]] [[LoveChart shipping wall]] and ways are {{Deconstructed}} in ''Fanfic/BeTheSeaDwellerLowblood'', where she's [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to]] Eridan's flushed feelings for her and tries to set him up with his moirail Feferi. This eventually leads to her discovering that [[spoiler:she doesn't understand Eridan enough to be a ''true'' moirail, while Feferi is not pleased with Nep seemingly trying to steal '''her''' moirail away, and just how manipulative and controlling this makes her appear to them]].
* In ''Naruto Veangance Revelaitons'', an odd variant of this happens when Ronan's girlfriend Sakura, meets Atni for the first time (While Sakura [[spoiler:was dead after being killed by the Council]], Ronan met Atni and had sex with her several times).
-->'''Sakura''':OMG WHO IS DIS WHOT BITCH CAN U FUK HER/"
* Sasasha supports Luso/Kanin in FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire.
* In ''Fanfic/ProjectIgnition'', [[TheRival Llad]] and [[TeamMom Lunaterisa]] happen to be this to [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Adler and Selene]]. To be fair, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone sorta does.]]
* Deconstructed in the MaiHime fic ''Fanfic/PerfectionIsOverrated'', in which [[spoiler:Bachiko, as well as her accomplice Meiko]] not only has the opinion that certain characters would be better off with other people, but as a [[ParodySue SUE]], has the power to make those desired couples a reality.
* In ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', Rei was apparently shipping Shinji/Asuka ''ten years'' before the three of them even met each other. She also somehow hooked up Toji and Hikari during [[NoodleIncident the unseen Third Angel fight]], and now claims to be shipping Shinji/Asuka's and Toji/Hikari's hypothetical future children. This seems to be a universal trait among the Ree (they all ship Shinji/Asuka, except Zyuu, [[BrotherSisterIncest who wants Shinji for herself]]), and Lilith herself seems to ship everyone/everyone as part of her desire for '''[[IWantGrandkids babies]]'''.
* In ''[[FanFic/ThingsWeDontTellHumans Things We Don’t Tell Humans]]'', Optimus Prime is this for Bumblebee and [[spoiler:Barricade]], and perhaps for Sam and Carly, too. Jazz and Prowl have a whole ''fleet'' of shippers, consisting of their son, Jazz’ parents, Ratchet, Optimus and Elita, Megatron, Terratron, and likely more. Prowl, in turn, ships Ratchet and Wheeljack.
* Several examples for three different couples in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'':
** In her CrowningMomentOfAwesome in her first appearance, Beth believes in [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor's]] love for Rose Tyler and uses it to help bring the Doctor back to himself.
** Later on, Beth is an all-out shipper for Watson and Sally, realizing that Sally is the mysterious second Mrs. Watson of the Sherlockian Canon and thinking of the newlyweds as the cutest thing ever.
** Sally, in turn, fully supports Beth in her love for Holmes and practically [[{{Squee}} squees]] when she sees the two of them married and simply acting like newlyweds.
** The Doctor ships both Watson/Sally and Holmes/Beth, although he's more active in encouraging the latter.
* Lereal Belsai, the Sufferist leader in ''FanFic/{{Hivefled}}'', was horrified to find that Nepeta broke up with Karkat when her kismesissitude with his best friend Sollux got in the way, as he thought they would follow in the footsteps of their respective ancestors. Nepeta, the {{Homestuck}} canon's resident Shipper On Deck, is horrified by his idea of her and Karkat being in a relationship which transcends the quadrants; not only does she not want to be left without her kismesis and moirail, but it would make her own shipping wall a lot more boring.
* ''Fanfic/HappyEndings'' pairs this trope with a MarySue who has the power to ''make'' her favored pairings happen. HilarityEnsues.
* PlayedForLaughs in Fanfic/FlyFree, where Sakura is convinced that [[Anime/OnePiece Robin]] and [[{{Anime/Naruto}} Kakashi]] are meant for each other. Other characters, including Ino, Naruto, and Sasuke are convinced by the 'proof' that Sakura shows them.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' has... [[spoiler:Heck, basically every character with any significance in the bayou is shipping Naveen and Tiana. Ray shows up and quickly creates a SheIsNotMyGirlfriend moment, and soon he and Louis team up to create a really romantic dance number for the duo. Then Mama Odie shows up and quickly catches on, eventually being the one who marries the couple.]]
** [[spoiler:And Lottie willingly passes on her dream to marry a prince when she realizes how much the two love each other. Given how she's rather clueless for most of the movie, this is saying quite a lot.]]
* Virtually all of the castle servants ship Belle and the Beast in ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''. In their case, there was a reason -- if the Beast didn't fall in love by a deadline, they were condemned to be teapots and clocks and whatnot for the rest of their lives. Belle happened to be the first girl to show up and fortunately she and the Beast fell for each other. It certainly didn't hurt that they all genuinely liked Belle in her own right, either.
* In Disney's ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', Eric's dog Max loves Ariel and tries to help bring her and Eric together. By comparison, [[EvilDetectingDog he despises Vanessa (Ursula's disguised form) and growls at her when Eric almost marries her]].
** Not to mention Sebastian, who sings to Eric so he will Kiss The Girl. Although it's partly because he knows about Ariel's DealWithTheDevil.
* Grandmother Fa definitely ships Disney/{{Mulan}} and General Shang.
--> Mulan (to Shang): Would you like to stay for dinner?
-->Grandmother Fa: Would you like to stay forever?
** The Emperor of China ships Mulan and Shang as well.
--->'''Emperor''': The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
--->'''Shang''': Sir?
--->'''Emperor''': *suddenly very serious* You don't meet a girl like ''that'' every dynasty.
** From the sequel, when Shang proposes to Mulan:
--> '''Grandmother Fa:''' I bet he would come before the end of the day.
--> '''Father:''' But I bet he would come before noon.
* In ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', CoolHorse Maximus clearly ships Rapunzel and Flynn, despite of how started his relationship with the latter. He even gives him a little push. Literally.
** Pascal, as well.
* Genie in ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' ships Aladdin and Jasmine, to the point where he is willing to give up his freedom to see them together:
-->'''Genie''': Al, no problem. You've still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.
-->'''Aladdin''': But Genie, what about [[FreeingTheGenie your freedom?]]
-->'''Genie''': Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. Al, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.
* In ''WreckItRalph'', the Laffy Taffy in the Sugar Rush game are fans of Calhoun and Felix, even forming a heart symbol to frame them in the scene where they serenade to the couple.
** The soldiers in Calhoun's platoon approve of Calhoun x Felix too. When Felix and Calhoun [[LoveAtFirstPunch first meet]], they were [[FunnyBackgroundEvent glancing at each other and smirking knowingly.]] Also, at the end of the movie [[spoiler: during Calhoun and Felix's wedding, the soldiers all actively ensure they get a happy ending, compared to Calhoun's previous romance.]]
* Max and Roxanne in ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' have two shippers. PJ supports Max from the sidelines and does things that could get him in serious trouble with his [[AbusiveParents Abusive Father]] just to get Max to impress Roxanne (for no compensation) and is repeatedly shown to be happy for Max when things go right in their relationship despite having other reasons to be ''un''happy. Stacey actively pulls strings in order to get Max and Roxanne together after she notices the look on Roxanne's face, pushes away another girl who tried hitting on Max saying, "Forget it, girl! He's Roxanne's!" and gives Bobby a DeathGlare when he makes a comment that suggests Max lied to Roxanne (which he did, but that's not the point).

[[folder:Films -- Live Action]]
* Mrs. Hobday in ''BedknobsAndBroomsticks'' for Miss Price and Mr Browne.
-->'''Mr. Browne:''' Mrs. Hobday is that most dangerous of species: a matchmaker!
* In the first ''{{Tremors}}'' movie, Earl actively promotes a hookup between Val and Rhonda, considering her a much better choice than the useless bimbos the younger man is usually drawn to.
* Ursula in ''[[Film/{{Spider-Man}} Spider-Man 3]]''. Despite having a schoolgirl crush on Peter herself, she's nevertheless giddy with happiness for Peter when he recieves a call from Mary Jane requesting his presence.
* Nick's gay friends in ''NickAndNorahsInfinitePlaylist'' try to ship him and Nora throughout the entire night.
* Jocelyn tries to get Grigg and Sylvia together in TheJaneAustenBookClub [[spoiler: but falls for him [[MatchmakerCrush herself]] and they get together by the end of the movie]].
* Like in the comic book version, Wallace is in favor of Scott and Ramona being together in ''ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', though he admits here that it's mostly because he wants Scott to move in with her (and thus out of his place).
* In ''ChungkingExpress'', the manager of the Midnight Express food stall is active in helping Qiqu and Cop 633 in romance, even making sure the stall is empty of all but Faye to promote 633/Faye.
* In the first two live-action ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movies, Bumblebee is constantly trying to get Sam and Mikaela together and to keep Sam from cheating.
** In the third movie, he subtly hints that he thinks Sam and Carly ought to get married.
* In JohnTuckerMustDie, Carrie, Beth, and Heather both do this in a fake and real way. They do it to get John to notice Kate so they can inevitably break his heart and then do it with John's brother Scott because Kate is shown to like her.
* Look at Film/HarryPotter's face at the end of ''Deathly Hallows, Part 2'' when Hermione and Ron reveal their relationship to him. He is smirking like a mad thing. He ships it. And he's shipped it for years.
** In ''Half-Blood Prince'', it seems that Ginny and Dumbledore also ship Ron/Hermione. Just look at the hospital scene:
-->'''Dumbledore''': Well, come away, everybody. Mr. Weasley's well-tended.
-->'''Ginny''': 'Bout time, don't you think?
* Pretty much all of Panem ships Katniss and Peeta during the 74th [[Film/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]]. Haymitch desperately tries to use this to his advantage in order to save one or both of them.
* ''HighSociety'': When not only your little sister, your mother, your otherwise-Jerkass father, everyone in the house and a random photographer, but even LouisArmstrong ships you with your ex, you know you should probably give him another shot...
* Subverted in ''[[ShesTheMan She's the Man]]''. Sebastian pretends to be this in regards to his roommate Duke and his twin sister Viola, except the audience already knows that "Sebastian" is actually [[SweetPollyOliver Viola herself in disguise]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Jo from Louisa May Alcott's ''LittleWomen'' ships her best friend Laurie (who has a crush on her, but she doesn't reciprocate) with two of her sisters: Meg in Part I, and Beth in Part II. [[spoiler:Meg marries Laurie's ''tutor'' John Brooke, Beth dies in her youth, and Laurie marries Jo's ''other'' sister Amy]].
** Rose Campbell from Alcott's ''EightCousins'' saga ships [[StarCrossedLovers her cousin Archie with her best friend Phoebe.]] Their assorted aunts and uncles at one time or another ship Rose herself with Archie or her other two possible suitor cousins: [[ChickMagnet Charlie]] and [[TVGenius Mackenzie aka Mac]]. [[spoiler: She chooses Mac in the end]]. Rose also ships Mac's younger brother [[TheDandy Steve]] with the local GenkiGirl, Kitty Van.
* In a nod toward shippers in general, there's a moment in ''HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' where Harry and Hermione start joking about the evidence of a relationship between Filch and Madame Pince, the librarian. There's a nod towards this when they're shown standing together later in the book.
** Hermione appears to be a Harry/Ginny shipper, to the chagrin of many Harmonians[[hottip:*:Harry/Hermione shippers]]. Some interpreted Ron's "find someone better next time" after Ginny dumps Michael to be a hint that he also supports the pairing. Evidence:
-->He cast Harry an oddly furtive look as he said it.
** This was on the same '''page''' as when Ron also told Harry that ''he's'' better off with someone more "cheerful" than Cho.
** Harry, meanwhile, ships Ron/Hermione, although he would possibly ship it a bit more if they hadn't chosen [[NowOrNeverKiss the middle of a battle]] to get together...
** Also in ''Half-Blood Prince'', Mrs. Weasley and Ginny disapprove of Bill's relationship with Fleur and instead ship Bill/Tonks. Mrs. Weasley changes her opinion by the end of the book, though. (Ron shipped Bill/Fleur all along, mostly because Fleur mesmerized him.)
* Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is a big Percy/Annabeth shipper in ''PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians''. Though (understandably) she regards mortals as a soap opera (as {{Lampshaded}} by her beau, Ares), and so assures Percy that she won't let things be easy for them, with plenty of {{Wangst}}, [[WillTheyOrWontThey indecision]], etc.
** In the SequelSeries, you can add Jason/Piper to the list - and she even goes on about how she thinks couples are cute. "Paris and Helen were a cute couple..."
* ''GONE'' series by Michael Grant;
** Hero of the saga Sam Temple apparently ships Landilio (LanaXEdilio) as stated in the first book;
Sam: You like Lana, don't you?
Edilio: Ur...She's amazing, but--
Sam: Well you can ask her out after we save the world.
** In HUNGER, both Caine and Diana tease Computer Jack about his budding will-they-won't-they relationship with Brianna.
* In ''[[JediAcademyTrilogy I, Jedi]]'' Corran Horn pretty much ships his boss, General Wedge Antilles, with his ex-partner on the [[SpaceCop Corellian Security Force]], Iella Wesseri. In the ''XWingSeries'', the two had been drawn together gradually, had separated when Iella's vanished husband was found in an Imperial prison, and Wedge had been there for Iella when her husband turned out to be a ManchurianAgent and [[ShootTheDog she had to kill him]]. But they'd been drawing apart again by this point, and despite Corran telling both of them that they were good for each other, Wedge fell for Qwi Xux while [[BodyguardCrush bodyguarding her]]. Corran was dismayed by this, though to his credit he did know better than to try and separate them.
* In Meg Cabot's ''ThePrincessDiaries'' series, Tina Hakim Baba ships Michael/Mia for most of the series, as does Lily in some ways (what with the plots to get them together and all), though the latter is of course influenced by the fact that Michael is her brother.
** Actually, Meg seems to do this a lot in her novels: Shari seems so to ship Lizzie and Chaz, Magda and Heather's father ship Heather/Cooper, Luke seems to ship Jenny/Scott (though perhaps leaning closer to matchmaking then strictly shipping), Jen ships Will/Ellie, etc.
* Sparhawk very quietly ships Kring/Mirtai in the ''{{Elenium}}'' trilogy, something he only confides to his wife. [[spoiler:The sequel trilogy, the ''Tamuli'', ends with them planning their wedding.]]
* Pretty much the entire cast of the ''PrydainChronicles'' ships Taran/Eilonwy.
* ''LettersToJuliet'' has both girls as shippers for the other's relationship.
* A rather cruel twist on this occurs in ''LonelyWerewolfGirl'', fire-demon Malveria actively (and succesfully) ships human PerkyGoth Moonglow with [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary College Student]] Daniel, because Moonglow volunteered to have any hypothetical love with Daniel go unrequited as part of a DealWithTheDevil pact earlier in the book and Malveria looks forward to the entertainment it'll bring.
** Vex also ships Daniel/Moonglow, to the extent of [[spoiler:getting the deal between Moonglow and Malveria annulled]].
** Malveria does this a lot; one of the subplots of ''Curse Of The Wolf Girl'' involved her trying to find a boyfriend for Thrix.
* Subverted in ''13 To Life''. Jessie ships Pietr with her best friend Sarah, for complicated reasons. However, ''minutes'' after succeeding, she shifts into [[{{Tsundere}} dere-dere]] mode for Pietr, causing a [[TriangRelations type 12 triangle]]. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Good job.]] She even lampshades what a [[DidntThinkThisThrough short-sighted idea this was]]:
-->"As a writer, I knew [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall if I'd been a character in a novel]] a good editor would have scrawled TSTL ([[TooDumbToLive Too Stupid To Live]]) on the manuscript pages. Well, maybe not too stupid to ''live'', but definitely too stupid to ''date''."
** In the sequel, after Jessie and Pietr take a DowntimeDowngrade, Sarah repays Jessie by shipping her into a rebound relationship with Derek. [[spoiler: He turns out to be an evil, [[MindRape Mind Raping]] psychic.]] [[EpicFail Nice one, Sarah.]]
* In TheLordOfTheRings, Bilbo - being quite the fanatic of Aragorn - supports the pairing of him with Arwen; after the quest is over, Frodo notes that the only parts of the tale that pique his interest are the coronation and wedding of Aragorn, and Bilbo expresses his regret at not being able to attend, saying that he had been waiting long for it. Being TheMatchmaker of the pair, Galadriel also counts.
** During the sequence in the Houses of Healing, Merry seems to be this for Faramir and Eowyn.
* ''Literature/TheIliad'' (a rather dark book to say the least) becomes exponentially funnier if you view Agamemnon as this to Menelaus and Helen. The best part? It's more or less accurate. While other versions of the story give him an ulterior motive, in the original he just wants to help his brother get his wife back, and is willing to raise an entire army and raze her lover's city to the ground to do it.
* In ''TheBelgariad'', Garion ships Polgara/Durnik, and possibly Cyradis/Zakath (with restrictions). Ce'Nedra ships Silk/Liselle, to the point of ''spying on them when Liselle confronts Silk about it''. This is one of Polgara's main duties in the prequel, as guardian to the Rivan line (she has to make sure everyone gets together with their destined lover). And the Grolims all ship Polgara/Torak, much to her disgust.
* ''{{Emma}}''. Most of the plot unfolds because of the heroine's enthusiastic, if completely misguided, shipping.
** Most JaneAusten novels have at least a few of these characters, as speculation about who is "attached to" whom is a popular topic for casual conversation. ''{{Persuasion}}'' even has ShipToShipCombat between Charles and Mary Musgrove, who each want a different Musgrove sister (Louisa and Henrietta respectively) to end up with Frederick Wentworth. [[spoiler: Neither one wins]]. Mrs. Bennet in ''PrideAndPrejudice'' is another notable one, what with her obsessive desire to see all her daughters married-off as soon as possible.
* TheDresdenFiles: Both Bob the Skull and Thomas are big [=HarryxMurphy=] shippers, even though the two have discussed the reasons they don't want to get into a relationship (Harry doesn't want anything casual, Murphy doesn't want anything serious). Michael Carpenter was also a minor shipper of [=HarryxSusan=] by suggesting he marry her [[spoiler:before she was infected by the Red Court]], though this had more to do with him being a devout Catholic and disapproving of them having sex before marriage.
** Technically, Bob and Thomas are big Harryx''Anybody'' shippers, causing him to distrust their sincerity about Murphy.
** Also, in Fool Moon, Harry's Subconscious shipped HarryxMurphy when Harry was still involved with Susan.
** By ProvenGuilty, Thomas began to get frustrated in the lack of progress in [[AnchoredShip Harry and Murphy's relationship]].
** And by ''Cold Days'' Thomas gets just as frustrated at Harry for not immediately seeking out Murphy upon his return to Chicago as he does for Harry not going to see [[spoiler: Maggie, his ''daughter'']]. Adorably, Mouse also shows that he ships HarryxMurphy.
* WickedLovely: Rianne in the first book tries ''very'' hard to fix Keenan and Aislinn up, and in Fragile Eternity [[TheHighQueen Sorcha]], of all people, shows some Irial/Niall tendencies.
* In ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', Cassie, at a dance, says she hopes Rachel and Tobias will dance with each other. A thousand fans agree. But-- uh-oh! The RomanticFalseLead, Ax, who everyone ELSE is shipping, causing a thousand fans to groan.
* In the first book of the second ''CircleOfMagic'' quartet, Sandry encourages a romance between her great-uncle Duke Vedris and the famous dancer Yazmín Hebet- an unusual example, with the teenaged protagonist shipping two much older secondary characters. Sandry worries about her long-widowed uncle's health and hopes that love will distract him from worrying too much about the string of murders that ''she'' is helping investigate.
* In Connie Willis' ''Literature/{{Passage}}'', Maisie Nellis takes on this role late in the book. [[spoiler: After Joanna dies, Maisie tries a couple of times to pair Richard and Kit.]]
* In ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', EveryoneCanSeeIt when it comes to Peeta and Katniss...everyone being ''the entire Capitol audience''. And while Haymitch encourages Katniss to ratchet up the romance for the sake of effect, [[spoiler:it's implied that he ships the two in reality, as well]]. Unsurprisingly, Haymitch also briefly notices the potential for their ShipMates Gale and Madge.
* Literature/TrappedOnDraconica: BigBad ships his dragon and dark chick by telling the former to 'stop bickering with his wife'. Played for laughs because they [[NobleDemon genuinely hate]] [[EvilIsPetty each other]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* {{Eureka}} showed that Zoey was always an avid Jack/Allison shipper, then again. At one point she seemed just as happy with the idea of Jack/Joe.
* At one point or another, the rest of the ''{{Friends}}'' (especially Phoebe) gang has done this for Ross and Rachel.
** Joey was dating Erin. He asks the girls to break up with her for him. Too bad the gals started talking. Cue Phoebe saying "We want you to marry her!"
* Wilson was the main cheerleader for Series/{{House}}/Cameron (until the ship-sinking episode where he warned her not to hurt him) and House/Cuddy, which hasn't been sunk. Yet.
** Wilson was present when House torpedoed it.
** Wilson [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy just wants his beloved to be happy]]; for the good of House's mental health he needs to build a social network with people who aren't hookers or Wilson, so Wilson usually jumps at any opportunity to encourage his best friend's possible relationships/friendships.
* On ''GilmoreGirls'':
** Lorelai shipped Rory/Dean in Season 2 & 3. But Luke, briefly shipped the opposing Rory/Jess. Ironically, both Rory and Jess shipped Luke/Lorelai.
** Meanwhile Emily and Richard shipped Rory/Logan. ''Heavily''. As in planning weddings and predicting the kids genetics. They also shipped Lorelai/Chris since the pair were teens.
** Whereas the whole town of Stars Hollow, shipped Lorelai/Luke.
* ''Series/{{Merlin}}'': The Slash Dragon ships Merlin/Arthur.
** As does Merlin's HotMom.
** In the first few episodes, it was hinted that Gwen shipped Arthur/Morgana and Morgana shipped Merlin/Gwen. All that changed pretty quickly, though.
** Starting in the second season, Merlin becomes a die-hard Arthur/Gwen shipper. In fact, his shippage saves the day at least once. In a season four episode, Merlin takes on a DieForOurShip mentality when he snubs a perfectly harmless visiting princess who has designs on marrying Arthur.
*** In a FlashForward to a scene in which Arthur is King and crowning Guinevere his Queen, Merlin is seen watching them in the audience. The look on his face is Joy personified.
** Gaius also ships Arthur/Gwen as he tells Gwen in "The Last Dragonlord."
** Heck, all the Knights of the Round Table (sans Lancelot, obviously) ship Arthur/Gwen, judging from their grins when the two kiss in front of them at the very end of season 3.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Buffy ships Xander/Anya, as evidenced by the line, "You and Anya give me hope. It's like...you two are proof that there's light at the end of this very long long nasty tunnel."
** Andrew seems to be a Xander/Anya shipper too... or else he wishes ''he'' were Anya. He secretly records an intimate conversation the two have and watches it over and over while mouthing Anya's dialogue.
** Dawn is a hardcore Willow/Tara shipper, although that's mostly to make the "kid caught up in a divorce" metaphor work. [[HasTwoMommies The two of them pretty much adopted Dawn]] after Buffy's death.
** Seen in Season 1 and 2 with Willow strongly supporting and pushing for Buffy to get with Angel. Probably justified in the fact that she probably wanted to remove any chance, slim as it was, of Buffy/Xander. Inverted with Xander, who outright ''loathes'' Buffy/Angel.
** In Season 2 Buffy pushes Willow towards Oz.
** Xander is a Buffy/Riley shipper; in season 8 he says he "always was Team Riley". It's probably justified by the fact that unlike Angel or Spike, Riley never tried to kill him or his friends. Willow also ships Buffy/Riley for a while ("Do I have to tie you two together?").
** Meanwhile, Andrew, in the same season, said, "Now that I've met Angel, I have to say -- Spike was so much edgier. You definitely traded up. I'm totally Team Spike."
** Buffy is at least supportive of Xander/Dawn.
** "Deep down, all you ever wanted was for Buffy to love you." Apparently First!Mayor is a [[HoYay Buffy/Faith]] shipper. Because the First on some level ''is'' the person he's impersonating, it means the Mayor himself was a Buffy/Faith shipper as well.
* In Series/{{Supernatural}}, Dean does this on occasion for Sam, notably with Sarah Blake and Meg Masters ([[spoiler:before learning she is a demon]]) in the first season after Jessica's death.
** Naturally, Dean also encourages his mother Mary to stay with John despite her father's disapproval.
-->'''Dean:''' Hey, I wanted to – to tell you, you know for what it's worth. Um... it doesn't matter what your Dad thinks, I like that John kid.
-->'''Mary:''' You do?
-->'''Dean:''' Yeah. Yeah, I think you two are meant to be. (softly) Hell, I'm depending on it.
** After witnessing their KissOfDistraction, Dean jokingly remarks he would let Castiel have Meg to himself for an hour before they kill her.
* In an odd version in ''Series/{{Angel}}'', Cordelia starts off shipping Fred/Wesley, but later jumps ship and starts shipping Fred/Gunn.
-->'''Cordelia:''' ''(to Gunn, about Fred)'' I admit, I was a bit slow on the uptake. At first I thought her and Wes... but then I see the way you two look at each other... you're meant to be.
** Lorne ships Angel/Cordelia pretty strongly, as evidenced in "Waiting in the Wings" and "Tomorrow", when he rattles off reasons why they would be good together and urges Angel to make a move.
*** The Groosalugg also (begrudgingly) ships Angel/Cordelia, and breaks off his relationship with Cordelia, urging her to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy "be with the man she truly loves"]].
*** Fred also ships. "Kyrumption."
** Played for tragedy when Fred's mother ships Fred/Wesley, unaware that Fred has died and been replaced by a shapeshifting EldritchAbomination.
* In ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', River seems to ship Simon/Kaylee, at one point calling him a "boob" after his latest screw-up with her. Given that it's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} River]], it doesn't really make much difference. Until the movie, [[spoiler:when she gets better, [[RelationshipUpgrade and so does the relationship]].]] Coincidence?... yeah, probably.
** It's made quite clear that she ''does'' ship it in the novelization of ''Film/{{Serenity}}''. She calls him [[TooDumbToLive too stupid to live]] for messing up with Kaylee.
** Heck, a good part of the crew apparently ships Simon and Kaylee, usually getting annoyed with Simon when he inadvertently blows a potentially good moment between them. And we cannot forget ''Jaynetown'', when Mal conveniently decides to let Kaylee and Simon remain on guard together in a bar -- after she hints to him that "things are going ''really'' well."
** The crew in general seems to ship Mal/Inara. In the movie, they eavesdrop on their video conversation, going as far as throwing popcorn at the screen when Mal avoids saying things like he missed her, etc. It's almost EveryoneCanSeeIt, because even [[RatedMforManly Jayne]] is entertained by it. Only Zoe seems hesitant about it, or maybe grudgingly accepting or resigned. [[TheStoic It's hard to tell with her.]]
*** Kaylee even specifically calls Mal out for not getting together with Inara when he had the chance. [[MaybeEverAfter Though he might get another one]].
*** Goes even further in the comic book ''Those Left Behind''. Wash finds Mal about to knock on Inara's shuttle, working up the courage to apologize for earlier bad behaviour, and tries to offer Mal advice and encouragement... Despite Mal threatening to remove one of Wash's arms. Shipping is a dangerous business.
* Angela acts like this with regard to {{Bones}} and Booth, though most of the time she is fairly subtle about it. Sweets, on the other hand, is not. He often becomes frustrated in their sessions over their thick-headedness, and has on more than one occasion yelled at them to just admit their mutual love and get together. [[spoiler:He even ends up being the one who prompts Booth (with more exasperated yelling) into admitting his feelings to Bones.]] Sweets even has written a peer-reviewed paper on the subject.
** And Gordon spends time discussing it with Sweets.
** Also Caroline, given her mistletoe scheme in Season 3.
** That entire show is made up of a supporting cast who wants the two of them to hook up. Bones' dad, Booth's grandpa, random people that are working cases with them... Angela is actually one of the worst shippers on the team, as she seemed fine with Booth hooking up with Cam and wanted Bones to take off on a year-long sabatical with her boyfriend at the time. But everyone else on that show is a die-hard shipper.
*** Hodgins doesn't seem to care much one way or the other.
* Natalie of ''SportsNight'' spends a lot of time cheerleading the potential hookup of Dana and Casey.
* Shawn of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' was a die-hard Cory/Topanga shipper to the point that he takes their final break up in high school worse then Cory and Topanga do themselves.
* Go watch the ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' episodes "Do I Know You?", "Mosbius Designs" and "The Leap" and then tell me if you ever saw bigger Barney/Robin shippers than Marshall and Lily. Quite appropriate, considering Barney is the President of the Marshall/Lily Fan Club, meaning that the man who hates marriage flew across the country to get [[HeartwarmingMoment Lily to come back to Marshall.]]
** Ted, Barney, and Robin all ship Marshall/Lily quite fanatically. Once, when they mistakenly thought the two were divorcing, the three of them wound up curled up miserably on the kitchen floor stuffing themselves with ice cream.
** Lily is also revealed to be an ''Anti-Shipper'' on deck for many of Ted's girlfriends, as he has a habit of thinking horrible women who aren't looking for a meaningful relationship and who invariably dump him are "the one", and Lily winds up actively sabotaging several of his relationships. Ted does ''not'' take this revelation well, especially when it slips out that Robin was one of the girlfriends in question.
** In one episode where Barney was [[ItMakesSenseInContext seducing Ted into designing a building]], Lily and Marshall both say ([[StrangeMindsThinkAlike at different times, without hearing each other]]) that they hope it's just for the building - and then think about it, and say they actually don't. "I like you two together..." Lily and Marshall basically will ship any pairing if they think it will [[UndyingLoyalty make their friends happy]].
** Marshall once made a bet with Lily that Robin would end up with Ted, a pairing he's stood by against all odds ([[ForegoneConclusion poor Marshall]]). Which makes this a basically canonical [[ShipToShipCombat shipping war]].
* Fun double example in ''{{Skins}}''; Naomi ships Effy/Freddie almost as much as Effy ships Naomi/Emily.
* Walter does this to Peter and Olivia on ''{{Fringe}}''.
** "Even condoms are not 100% effective; you two should be aware of this." ''(glare)''
** "Oh, do the two of you want to use the room?"
--->'''Walter:''' Do you think she'll call me dad?
--->'''Peter:''' Who?
--->'''Walter:''' Agent Dunham.
*** And now Nina is getting in on the Shipping because [[spoiler:Peter being with Olivia means that he is far less likely to destroy the world.]]
* From ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', [[NietzscheWannabe Arthur]] ships [[AllYourPowersCombined Sylar]] and [[PsychoElectro Elle]].
** Sylar and HRG both ship Gretchen and Claire. Although unintentionally on HRG's part.
*** Sylar shipping Gretchen and Claire is made somewhat hilarious by the fact he has a bit of a stalker crush on Claire due to his fear of ending up forever alone. (They're both immortal and are the only two immortal characters at the moment.) However, the show seems to be favoring the Peter/Sylar subtext right now.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Donna ships Doctor/Rose. So does Jack: "You two are so sweet. [...] Continue with what you were... doing." (Though he obviously wouldn't be averse to the idea if they'd be willing to [[OT3 share]].)
** The Eleventh Doctor quite actively ships Amy/Rory. [[spoiler:To the point of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E06TheVampiresOfVenice taking the two on a romantic holiday to 16th century Venice to fix their relationship]]. And quite possibly... to the point of manifesting an elaborate dream reality to push the two of them together. Not to mention when Rory shows up in "The Pandorica Opens", Eleven urges him to talk to Amy and try and work things out, regardless of the fact that Amy doesn't even remember Rory existed.]]
*** [[spoiler:Judging from the look on his face during [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang Amy and Rory's wedding]], the Doctor was just as happy as the fandom--if not more so--at seeing the two get hitched.]]
*** Granted, though, while part of it is him shipping Amy/Rory, it's also part being ''anti'' Amy/himself. Which Amy tried to do.
*** Eleven now wants Amy and Rory to make babies. Seriously. He ''said it''. [[spoiler: And they do. ''River''.]]
*** [[spoiler: In "Asylum of the Daleks", he tries to get Amy and Rory, now separated, back together. Judging from the end of the episode, Amy and Rory are at least willing to try and work it out.]]
** Amy, for her part, appears to gleefully ship Doctor/River, with comments like, "Oh, she is ''so'' your wife" and "Ooh, Doctor, you ''sonicked'' her!"
** And let's not forget the shippage performed by Mels [[spoiler: a.k.a. River Song]] at the beginning of LKH.
** Those last points get really weird now that we know [[spoiler: River ''is'' Amy and Rory's baby.]]
** Many of the companions also seem to happily acknowledge the presence of The Doctor/TARDIS.
** And in the episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E3TheMarkOfTheRani The Mark of the Rani]], the Rani seems to ship Doctor/Master, seeing as she spends most of the episode basically telling them to get a room and leave her in peace.
* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' gives us Martha shipping Jack/Ianto. When she finds out about their relationship, she seems very excited by the prospect.
--> '''Martha''': So, am I right in thinking that you and he...? (*pulls an unforgettable expression*)
--> '''Ianto''': We...dabble.
--> '''Martha'''('''[[YaoiFangirl grinning with delight]]'''): Yeah?
--> '''Ianto''': Yeah.
* Blair's maid/nanny/sidekick Dorota ships Blair and Chuck on ''GossipGirl''. Serena sometimes joins the ship, but just as often seems to dislike the idea of the two together. Blair's parents and their respective husbands seem to be Chair shippers also.
** [[TheVoice Gossip Girl]] herself ships Chuck and Blair.
** In the first season-and-a-half, Jenny shipped Dan and Serena.
* ''TheOffice'': Michael has been a huge Jim and Pam fanboy since the day Jim told him about his feelings for Pam.
** Pam, for Andy and Erin. She also ships Oscar with Matt from the warehouse: "Yes, they're the only two gay guys I know. But they should be together."
* ''ParksandRecreation'': Ann ships Leslie/Ben. Ann agrees to help Leslie "anti-seduce" Ben when the two are sent on a trip together (they like each other and know it, but cannot date due to a rule about government employees), but does her best to sabotage the plan and tells the camera point-blank, "I want them to get together. Sue me!"
* ''TheMentalist'': Cho for Rigsby and van Pelt, of the "Tell her how you feel, you idiot!" variety.
* In ''That70sShow'', Fez, despite being attracted to Jackie (and winning her in the [[PostScriptSeason last season]] [[AssPull for some reason]]), tries to get her and Hyde back together when they split up. Also, in the final season, Kitty can't get over the fact that her son Eric and Donna broke up and tries to convince Donna to wait for Eric to come back instead of going out with [[ReplacementScrappy Randy]].
* In ''{{Castle}}'':
** Lanie, TheCoroner and Beckett's best friend, ships Castle/Beckett, and is quite open about it.
** The other detectives are a little more subtle about it, until the season 2 finale, when one of them openly tells Beckett that Castle's not gonna wait forever. She breaks up with her current boyfriend but a little too late, as Castle has gotten back together with one of his ex-wives.
** Beckett's dad, Castle's mom and even Capt. Montgomery are shipping Castle/Beckett.
* Seymour from ''BurnNotice'' ships Michael/Fiona -- he's been seen geeking out over how awesomely passionate two {{Badass}}es like them must be in bed. And he made them matching throwing daggers. Same with Michael's mother (the shipping, not the daggers). Sam... comes around.
* ''TheNanny'' Pretty much every character except for C.C. is a shipper Maxwell and Fran, but especially Niles, who could be downright {{Anvilicious}} about it, to the point where, when Maxwell tells him he's going to propose, Niles' expressions of happiness sound more like ''he'' was getting proposed to. Plus, he's often tricking [[HopelessSuitor C.C.]] into advancing their relationship.
** It culminates in a fantastic monologue from Niles to Maxwell towards the end of season five.
---> '''Maxwell:''' Niles, I don't know what the woman wants anymore! What am I supposed to do?
---> '''Niles:''' May I speak freely sir?
---> '''Maxwell:''' Yes of course old boy.
---> '''Niles:''' I am so bloody sick of hearing this year after year. 'Niles, what am I to do? I told her I loved her, I took it back, I'm afraid of commitment, I'm ''worried about the children.''' ''(Maxwell is backed onto the couch, and Niles yanks him up by his lapels, shaking him)'' For God's sake, make a move! ''Do something''! You passed on Cats, do you want to regret this for the rest of your life too?! ''(pushes Maxwell back down on the couch and storms out)''
* In ''{{Smallville}}'' Lex is a Clark/Lana shipper [[spoiler:until he starts expressing interest in Lana]].
** Despite her love for Clark, Chloe is generally selfless enough to encourage Clark and Lana to get together. [[spoiler:[[CrowningMomentOfFunny That includes stuff like]] [[ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex sex advice]].]]
** A smaller example: in ''Crimson'', Jimmy tries to get [[MythologyGag Lois & Clark]] together in something of an attempt to get Clark away from Chloe, who is dating Jimmy. Chloe is not amused.
** Lois does a textbook IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer warning to Clark to never break Chloe's heart in ''Devoted''. After [[CreatorsPet Lana]]'s [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt supposed death]], Lois seems to subtly encourage Clark to get together with Chloe, whose LoveInterest has just been PutOnABus, [[FanPreferredCouple with good reason]]. [[spoiler:Jimmy comes back unexpectedly quick.]]
** In ''Stiletto'', Chloe finds a [[PortmanteauCoupleName "Bluretto"]] fansite, which pairs the Red-Blue Blur (Clark) and Stiletto (Lois). Chloe is actually rather supportive of this.
** In ''Escape'', Clark makes a thinly veiled attempt to get Chloe together with Bart. Given his [[CasanovaWannabe past record]], it is completely ineffective. [[spoiler:Plus, she has just been StrangledByTheRedString with Oliver.]]
* In ''{{Chuck}}'', Casey seems to take great delight in ribbing Chuck about his affections for Sarah. [[spoiler:After being relieved of duty for treason, Casey outright tells Chuck to get Sarah back before too much damage is done. And a couple episodes later, he risks invalidating Chuck's new appointment as a spy and ''getting charged with murder'' in order to sidestep the complication that's making Sarah hesitate to continue the relationship.]]
** Jeff believes that [[spoiler: Hannah, Jill, and Lou]] are just time-fillers while Chuck pines for Sarah.
** Hells, even [[spoiler:Beckman]] is ultimately outed as a Chuck/Sarah shipper.
* A ''{{Seinfeld}}'' episode had Kramer concluding Jerry and Elaine's angry squabbling was a sign of undeclared love; he kept trying to get the two crazy kids to face their true feelings.
* One of the strangest examples of ShipperOnDeck would have to be Little John on ''Series/RobinHood'' who encourages Robin to hook up with [[CreatorsPet Kate]]. Not only does he try to get Isabella out of the picture by informing her that Robin quite fancies Kate (which at that stage, is a [[BlatantLies Blantant Lie]] and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero leads to Isabella becoming]] AxCrazy), but he tells Robin that Kate is a [[CreatorsPet "treasure"]] that he shouldn't let slip through his fingers. It's unclear why John would want this hook-up to take place; as the TeamDad, he has disapproved of outlaw relationships in the past, and he already knows that Much is harboring a crush on Kate: therefore, any relationship would inevitably divide the outlaws. Neither does it seem to occur to him that Robin may simply not ''want'' another relationship so quickly after [[spoiler:Marian's death and his breakup with Isabella]]. Some fans speculate that he wants Robin to be aligned with a peasant in order to force Robin to concentrate on the poor rather than politics, but this seems rather [[OutOfCharacterMoment Out Of Character]] for him. Then again, there was very little in [[SeasonalRot Season Three]] that made much sense.
* ''AshesToAshes'': There are more than a few indications that Shaz ships Gene/Alex, and Luigi's blatant in his shipping of Alex/Every Attractive Man in London (Thatcherite Wanker, Evan, Keats, and eventually, Gene). Alex herself is not entirely unaware of the rampant homoeroticism floating around the station, particularly with Gene and Litton.
* [[MyBelovedSmother Mrs. Benson]] in ''iCarly'' at first seemed to be a [[PortmanteauCoupleName Creddie]]([[GirlNextDoor Carly]] / [[DoggedNiceGuy Freddie]]) shipper in Season 1, even going as far as to demand the reason on why Carly can't love him.
-->'''Mrs. Benson:''' "WHY WON'T YOU LOVE MY SON???!!!"\\
'''Freddie:''' "Mom!"
** In season 3, she flip-flopped and turned against Carly, blaming Carly for Freddie getting hit by the truck in ''iSaved Your Life'' and for Freddie deciding to move out during ''iMove Out'':
--->'''Mrs. Benson:''' "You're the one who got Freddie interested in girls, and ever since then his boy chemistry's been all out of whack."
** Due to the repeated and flagrant ShipTease on the show pretty much every character has been on deck for another ship. Spencer has acted at times like he shipped Sam/Freddie, Carly fixed the Seddie relationship in two episodes in a row, and physically pushed the two of them to kiss again. Sam has teased an in-universe shipper crowd by declaring that Carly and Freddie are deeply in love. The trio has been on deck with certain relationships of Spencer's as well.
* Taylor Earhardt (the Yellow Eagle Ranger) from ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' is the first one to notice the UST between Princess Shayla and Merrick. And lo, is she pleased when she does...
** Then Taylor is on the ''receiving'' end of this when her teammates realize before her that [[{{Tsundere}} she]] and [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Eric aka the Quantum Ranger]] have UST in the crossover. HilarityEnsues.
** Since we've mentioned ''Time Force'', Trip and Katie (and eventually Lucas, too) desperately want Wes and Jen to get together. Especially after [[spoiler:Jen's fiance from the future, Alex, is shown to be NotQuiteDead... and not the guy she thought he was.]]
** It's implied that Kira ''may'' have been this for [[spoiler:Devin and Cassidy]] when she says, "I thought those two were never gonna get together" in the ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' finale. (Which is a bit rich, considering her deal with Trent...) Conner's actually the one who gives [[spoiler:Devin]] the final push (but he doesn't know who the target is.)
* Fran Katzenjammer in ''BlackBooks''. She blocks Bernard's attempts at romancing women in a couple episodes, but repeatedly encourages his attachment to his shop assistant, Manny.
** Made all the funnier by actress Tamsin Grieg's public comments on the [[HoYay sexual tension]] between Bernard and Manny.
* Just about EVERY minor character in ''{{Sherlock}}'' ships Sherlock/John. "I'll get a candle for the table. Nice and romantic."
** Oh, it goes ''well'' beyond just minor characters. Take Mycroft:
--->'''Mycroft''': Might we expect a happy announcement by the end of the week?
** Or Irene:
--->'''John''': [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday I'm not gay!]]
--->'''Irene Adler''': Well, [[IfItsYouItsOkay I am.]] [[UnrequitedLove Look at us both.]]
** Or Mrs. Hudson:
--->'''Mrs. Hudson:''' There's a second bedroom upstairs, if you'll be needing two rooms.
--->'''John:''' Well of course we'll be needing two rooms!
--->'''Mrs.Hudson:''' Oh, don't worry dear, we have all sorts about here. Mrs. Turner next door got married ones.
** [[RunningGag Honestly]], pretty much ''everyone'' in this series seems to take them for a couple.
* A literal example: early on in season 3 of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', Talyn (a sentient ''space-ship'') continuously tries to antagonise John and contrive more and more situations where Crais and Aeryn are alone together, going even as far as making a fake video of Aeryn and Crais hooking up just to piss John off. And he does weird things to the heat in whatever room those two happen to be in. This is just Talyn being an angsty teen who doesn't want John getting anywhere near his adopted aunt, or really is him trying to get them together.
** The "turning up the heat" thing makes especially no sense, as both Aeryn and Crais are members of a species which can't regulate their internal heat correctly, so increased heat makes it harder for them to function properly (if it goes on long enough their brains will eventually shut down).
* On ''DegrassiTheNextGeneration'', Manny ships Emma/Sean, but she gets a bit undecided about it in season 6. Everybody's anti-Craig/Manny, and [[DoubleStandard of course they all blame Manny]]. Manny's anti-Emma/Jay. The girls are more likely to believe in destiny (which the other girls, [[MemeticSexGod especially Manny]], always wreck), though.
** In the first part of Season 10 they set Adam up as practally the captain of HMCS [=EClare=], but fan reaction to the pairing made that unneccessary.
*** Although now Eli’s trying to [[TheAtoner make up for his actions when he went off his medication]] by helping to keep Jake and Clare’s relationship on track [[IWantMyBelovedtoBeHappy despite the fact that he still has feelings for Clare]].
* On ''Series/ThirtyRock'', Jack's mother Colleen in regards to Jack/Liz, at least in her first appearance.
* The ''entire school'' shipped Phil and Keely in PhilOfTheFuture: they vote them cutest couple. Before they were a couple.
** Phil's mom tends to be a shipper as well.
** Hell, even the mildly sociopathic Pim seemed to be at be rooting for them when they were going for their RelationshipUpgrade.
* CJ, Josh, Sam, and especially Charlie vigorously ship [[AmicablyDivorced Toby/Andi]] in season 4 of ''TheWestWing'', going as far as to call themselves "Team Toby" (Toby wants to remarry Andi, Andi doesn't agree, though she infuriatingly seems to relish his advances). The Bartlets also express support for Toby's attempts, and Leo has quietly played matchmaker even before the rest of the staff jumped on the bandwagon. Humor fanfics that [[FanonDiscontinuity ignore the widely-derided post-Sorkin seasons]] often ratchet both the wooing and matchmaking up to hilarious levels.
** Joey Lucas ships Josh/Donna ''years'' before Donna gets the nerve to admit it and Josh gets his head out of his ass. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming "If you polled a hundred Donnas..."]]
* In ''{{Dollhouse}}'', Echo ships Victor and Sierra quite a lot. She even [[spoiler:gives them the opportunity to run away together after they've all been imprinted with their original identities, though they decline her offer in order to help her fight [[BigBad Rossum]].]]
* In ''TheVicarOfDibley'', Geraldine shipped Hugo and Alice, going so far as to invite both of them to her house at the same time in order to initiate their first kiss. After yelling: "OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, JUST KISS YOU '''MORONS'''!" the plan goes a little ''too'' well.
* In ''Series/LieToMe'', Emily Lightman is a big fan of her father Cal getting together with his partner Gillian.
-->'''Emily''': (to Gillian) He's happier when he's with you.
* ''{{Glee}}'': Judging by how quickly the Warblers went from utter mortification/indignation to total support when they realized [[DuetBonding who Blaine wanted to sing a duet with]] at Regionals, it's safe to say that they are Kurt/Blaine shippers. That smug little smile on the usually stoic Wes's face as he raises his hand speaks ''volumes''.
** Finn, Puck, and all of the New Directions girls (minus Santana) seem to ship it too. Finn and Rachel's first concern when [[spoiler: they thought Kurt was cheating with Sam]] was Blaine, Puck seemed ''genuinely moved'' by their "Candles" duet, and all of the girls got excited when Kurt revealed that [[spoiler: he was going to prom with Blaine]]. Seriously, they make it as clear as possible what the writers intentions for this couple are.
*** Though in the case of Finn, Rachel and the New Directions Girls it comes off as more of ShillingTheWesley than anything, emphasized by their [[WhatTheHellHero joining in Blaine's hateful, hypocritical performance of 'It's Not Right, But It's OK' without hearing Kurt's version of the story, or assuming that Kurt's cheating on Blaine with Sam]].
** Quinn is kind of a subversion (Hater On Board?) for Finn and Rachel, for which Tina is a straight version. Also Sugar for Brittana.
* In the Swedish kids' TV series ''Eva & Adam'', the title characters, who are girlfriend and boyfriend, try to get their respective best friends together. [[spoiler: It...almost works.]]
* Kitaoka and Reiko spend most of ''KamenRiderRyuki'' dancing around each other (he hits on her, she rejects him and claims to find him despicable, yet somehow is always hitting him up for help). In the end, Reiko's workmates Shimada and Megumi end up campaigning for Reiko to finally agree to date him. [[spoiler: She says yes, but he dies before going on the date.]] It's also subverted when Shinji figures out that Kitaoka is in love with Reiko, and threatens him with physical violence if he doesn't stay away from her because he thinks Reiko is too good for Kitaoka.
** In ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'', Yuki and JK both ship Ryusei/Tomoko: Yuki gives them a couples ticket to space together, and JK reacts excitedly when Ryusei asks Tomoko to visit him at his school and admits that he's not dating Shirakawa.
* Pretty much ''everyone'' in ''{{Frasier}}'' ships Niles/Daphne with a rabid (but secret) fangirly enthusiasm, complete with DieForOurShip, FanPreferredCouple, ShipToShipCombat, and {{Hatedom}}. Niles suffered from a ''huge'' case of DracoInLeatherPants for his near-sociopathic first wife Maris in seasons 1-2 and often had {{Flame War}}s with his friends and family over her. [[RomanticFalseLead Mel, Donny, and other minor love interests]] were treated with increasing irritation and some RonTheDeathEater tendencies (with the exception of Mel, who ''was'' [[ManipulativeBitch just as bad as everyone thought]]), since Niles has always been smitten with Daphne and everyone wished the two of them would ''[[ArcFatigue just get together already]]''. However, Niles, for the longest time, CannotSpitItOut and Daphne, for almost as long, is ObliviousToLove, which annoys the other characters to no end for [[WillTheyOrWontThey keeping them in suspense for years]] (Roz cries out "Oh thank God, I thought ''I'd'' be the one to spill the beans!" when Daphne finds out that Niles is in love with her).
** Later on, everyone furiously ships Frasier with his new girlfriend Claire, except for Daphne, who is jealous of Claire's doting rapport with Martin and Martin's lovestruck desire to get Claire as a daughter-in-law, since she sees this as ParentalFavoritism, with Claire as [[SiblingRivalry competition]] for [[ParentalSubstitute Martin's]] attention.
* Brothers Vince and Dave Teague on ''{{Haven}}'' ship Nathan/Audrey, and even attempt to give Nathan advice on the subject - in a clumsy and awkward way.
* Shirley on the first season of ''Series/{{Community}}'' actively shipped Britta/Jeff. It was implied this was an outlet for emotions from her own deteriorating marriage.
* ''Series/SueThomasFBEye'': Lucy, Sue's best friend, supports AnchoredShip[=/=]OfficialCouple Jack[=/=]Sue ever since the very first episode. [[ButtMonkey Myles]] unexpectedly joins in during the series finale:
-->'''Myles:''' Who needs to talk about it? We work in the same room with them. If you all haven't picked up on their obvious chemistry -- well, I suspect a career change might be in order.
* {{The X-Files}}: It would be easier to count the number of characters that ''don't'' ship Mulder/Scully. Even BigBad CSM is supportive of their relationship.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': A very good case could be made for the notion that [=McCoy=] ships [[HoYay Kirk/Spock]]. Particularly noticeable in "Bread and Circuses" and "Amok Time".
* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'':
** The closest we ever get to explicit Sheppard/Teyla pairing (the TakeThatKiss doesn't really count) is Ronon's hardcore shipping of the two in "Sunday." Ronon can't be the only one on the Sheyla bandwagon but he is the only person to vocalize it.
** On the other hand Weir admitted she shipped Kanaan/Teyla before they were a couple, commenting everytime Teyla spoke about him "her eyes shone".
** Then we have ''Kolya'' of all people seeming to ship either Mckay/Shepperd or Sheppard/Weir, if only to manipulate them to his advantage. In almost every hostage situation he threatens to kill one of them in order to blackmail the other. Never another member of the team, just them. Clearly he thinks there is something going on there. He also has a tendency to use both of them to verbally antagonize Shepperd. When he had the entire team hostage once, he made a point about killing McKay first.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
** While not exactly ''shipping'' per se, the ''entire'' team including General Landry noticed ''something'' going on with Daniel and Vala, other than two co-wrorkers just going out to have dinner.
* Allison was this in season one of ''Series/TeenWolf'' in regards to Stiles/Lydia, though she's backed off a bit in season two.
** In the second season [[spoiler:Matt]] seems to be a shipper of [[HoYay Derek/Stiles]], trapping them in a pool together for two hours and later paralyzing Stiles so he falls on the already paralyzed Derek, saying "I think you two make a pretty good pair."
** In episode 205, Jackson seems pretty intent on getting [[StraightGay Danny]] to pursue his crush on Matt.
* ''TrueBlood'':
** Arlene hates Bill for being a vampire at first, but after he risks his life in an attempt to save Sookie's, she starts shipping them and wanting them to get married. That is until season 3 of course.
** "Why don't you two just fuck eachother and get it over with? ..I could watch."
** The fifth season gives us Jessica doting over [[FanNickname Para]] (Pam x Tara). Although Jessica has pretty permanent ShippingGoggles on in the first place.
-->'''Jessica''': (''after Tara kisses Pam'') I ''knew'' it!
* On ''TheBigBangTheory'', pretty much everyone ships Sheldon and Amy (or "Shamy" as they call them), mainly because up until that point they thought Sheldon was an {{asexual}} man of science. Sheldon shipped Leonard/Dr. Stephanie in season two. Leonard has shown his support of Howard/Bernadette and Penny's dad is a very very vocal Penny/Leonard shipper (Leonard is the only guy with brains she's ever gone out with). Sheldon's mom seems to be a fan of the pairing, calling them a cute couple as early as season one before Penny was even fully aware of the crush Leonard had on her. Bernadette and Amy are also Penny/Leonard shippers, mainly because they know Penny only pretends to be okay with Leonard moving on to other girls. Speaking of which, Amy, Bernadette, Penny, Raj, Raj and Pryia's parents and Sheldon are all anti Pryia/Leonard shippers (Raj because he doesn't want Leonard dating his sister, her parents because Leonard isn't Indian, Amy, Bernadette and Penny want Leonard/Penny to happen/think Pryia is out of line for trying to change Leonard and demanding he stop being friends with Penny, and Sheldon doesn't like her because she's mean to him).
* On ''TheCloser'' ''/'' ''MajorCrimes'', the HoYay between Flynn and Provenza isn't overwhelming or anything, but it ''is'' there occasionally. And then, in season 7 of ''TheCloser'', it's revealed that Provenza's four ex-wives considers Flynn to be the fifth.
* D.B. got into this a little bit with Greg and Morgan on ''{{CSI}}''. And Ray was at least supportive of his ex getting remarried, until her fiance got killed.
* On ''DowntonAbbey'', pretty much the entire cast is shipping Matthew/Mary. A particularly great moment is in the Season 3 premiere when [[spoiler: Branson reveals himself as one to Matthew, showing how even as the chauffeur he was able to pick up on Matthew and Mary's massive amount of {{UST}}]]. And most of the downstairs (with the exception of resident jerks Thomas and O'Brien) is shipping Anna/Bates, plus even a few upstairs judging by Mary's [[spoiler: "wedding present" of a bed for the couple]].
* That awkward/awesome moment during the ''Warehouse 13'' Season 3 finale when the {{Big Bad}} points out that maybe HG would have a better incentive to solve the chess puzzle when there's "someone [she] cares about" (Myka) in the chair
* In ''BoysOverFlowers'', very nearly the entire cast ships [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Jan Di]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jun Pyo]], most amusingly when the household staff intentionally set them up and cover for them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Role Play]]
* Katie and [[RobotGirl Candy]] Disastio from Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars. In fact, Katie got turned into Nepeta Leijon at one point.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* In ''Theatre/ThePajamaGame'', the other girls in the factory are shipping Babe and Sid. Babe sings a song, "[[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend I'm Not At All In Love]]", in an attempt to get them to buzz off, but she and Sid end up together anyway.
* Elwood P. Dowd and {{Harvey}} help Dr. Sanderson and Ms. Kelly rediscover their long-buried feelings for one another by the end of the play/film.
* In ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors'', [[GreekChorus Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon]] ship Seymour and Audrey.
--> '''Crystal:''' So dump [[DomesticAbuser the chump]], get another guy and let him protect you.
--> '''Chiffon:''' And we got one all picked out.
--> '''Ronette:''' A little botanical genius.
--> '''Crystal:''' And she ain't talkin' about George Washington Carver.
* ''MuchAdoAboutNothing'' runs on this trope. [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Most of the cast]] ships Benedick/Beatrice and schemes to get them together. Beatrice also ships Claudio/Hero, and goes into a murderous rage when her ship gets [[spoiler:temporarily]] sunk.
* In ''AMidsummerNightsDream'', Lysander and Hermia ship Demetrius/Helena, partly because they like Helena and partly because Demetrius's plan to [[ArrangedMarriage marry Hermia]] is getting in the way of their relationship. (It doesn't help that Hermia's father has talked Theseus, Duke of Athens, into supporting his preferred ship of Demetrius/Hermia.) Oberon also ships Demetrius/Helena and attempts to use love potion to make it canon. When a mix-up makes both Lysander and Demetrius love Helena, they instantly begin to ship each other with Hermia. Finally, Oberon fixes everything and his two favorite couples become ShipMates. Even Theseus gets on board in the end.
* The subplot in ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'' mostly exists because Lucentio's servant, Tranio, ships Lucentio/Bianca. He eggs his master on in pursuit of the girl, then instigates a ZanyScheme to make it happen, eliminating her other suitors while he's at it.
* Deconstructed in CyranoDeBergerac: Christian forces Cyrano to tell the truth to Roxanne because he wants Roxanne to choose him instead of Cyrano.
* TheDesertSong: In the reprise of "The Song of The Brass Key", Clementina attempts to convince Margot to admit she loves [[TheHero the Red Shadow.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders: The Fist Of Mars'' has the entirety of BIS shipping Cage/Myona at one point, and towards the end, Yukito ships Warren/Mebius. To be fair on the latter one [[spoiler: EveryoneCanSeeIt, and Warren DOES have a crush on her]]
* [[DissidiaFinalFantasy Cecil]] appoints himself Firion and the Onion Knights official wingman when he believes there interest in [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Lightning and Terra]] is romantic.
-->'''Cecil:''' "Say, why did you desire to protect Terra?"\\
'''OK:''' "Huh? It's because--She's been uneasy since we met, so I thought I needed to protect her."\\
'''Cecil:''' "So you've fallen for her, I see."\\
'''OK:''' "Tha-that's not the reason!
* Demon Delinquent Raspberyl of ''{{Disgaea 3}}'' loves to pair people together; usually Almaz and Princess Sapphire or [[{{Disgaea 2}} Adell and Rozalin.]]
** From ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|A Promise Unforgotten}}'' we have Fuka and [[YesMan Desco]] who make it no secret they ship [[NobleDemon Valvatorez]]/Vulcanus [[spoiler:(aka. Artina)]].
** Fuka also seems to support [[HoYay Valvatores/Fenrich]] to varying degrees of seriousness.
** And now, as of the Netherbattle Tournament DLC, both ''also'' ship Valvatorez/[[spoiler:[[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Krichevskoy]]]].
--->'''Desco:''' A rival has appeared before Fenfen, Big Sis!
--->'''Fuka:''' Now we can look forward to a melodramatic love triangle-type event! Ooh, my heart's pounding just thinking about it!
* Pearl Fey of the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series really, really wants her cousin Maya and Phoenix Wright to get together. She's [[ArmorPiercingSlap usually violent]] whenever Phoenix even ''appears'' to express interest in somebody else. This is mostly treated as a joke, but later on it turns out that because of the social politics in Pearl's family, [[TheWoobie she's never seen a successful relationship, so she genuinely wants Maya to have a happy one]].
* The ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' saga has ''several'' of these:
** In ''Thracia 776'', [[ActionGirl Mareeta]] is a [[TheHero Leaf]] x [[TheOjou Nanna]] fangirl. If the three are alive by the time the Final Battle hits, she'll encourage Nanna to tell him her feelings.
-->'''Mareeta:''' "Go on, Lady Nanna! Just say it!"
-->'''Nanna:''' "B-But..."
-->'''Mareeta:''' "You'll regret it forever if you don't say it now. Or do you just want to stay as his 'cute little sister'?"
-->'''Nanna:''' "But Mareeta..."
** In ''Fuuin no Tsurugi'', Marcus seems to be this for Roy and Lilina, especially in his supports with the latter.
** In ''FireEmblem: Rekka no Ken'', GenkiGirl Serra also seems to be one of these. Her A support with ChivalrousPervert Sain has her wondering out loud about Lyn's love life and vying for a possible LoveTriangle with [[TwoGuysAndAGirl Eliwood and Hector]].
-->'''Serra:''' Hey, Sain. So, who do you think Lyn will end up with? Lord Eliwood? Lord Hector, maybe?
*** On the other hand, Sain notices that his best friend Kent has a crush on Lyn and encourages it, [[MatchmakerCrush despite claiming to have a crush on Lyn too.]]
*** Also, Ninian [[WhenSheSmiles laughs for the first time in the game]] when she hears Eliwood lampshading Hector and Lyn's SlapSlapKiss dynamics. Yup, Ninian ships Hector/Lyn; reasonable, since otherwise Lyn might end up with Eliwood, which would be kind of bad for her...
*** And in the very next scene, we have Lyn hurrying away from Eliwood and Ninian, because "We don't want to be in the way, do we?" Yup, Lyn ships Eliwood/Ninian.
*** We also have [[LargeHam General Wallace]], who in his youth shipped [[TheOjou his lord's daughter Madelyn]] with [[BashBrothers his best friend and sparring partner]] [[WarriorPrince Hassar of the Lorca tribe]]. [[spoiler: His and Kent's supports reveal that years ago, when the StarCrossedLovers eloped to not be separated, Wallace chose to let go of them and be imprisoned as punishment rather than break them apart; some time later, they became the parents of their actual lady in liege, Princess Lyndis aka Lyn (whom Kent himself can marry via supports). It's also AnAesop about how [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight rules are NOT always the end and be it]], and sometimes [[ToBeLawfulOrGood you have to choose the good over the lawful in]] LawfulGood.]]
** In ''FireEmblem: Radiant Dawn'', Micaiah refers to the "warm feelings" Naesala has for Leanne, and that [[HoYay Soren has for Ike.]] Additionally, Ike was astonished to discover that Jill and Haar were not cohabiting.
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'', [[TeamDad Moulder]] is the first one to notice that [[FragileSpeedster Vanessa]] has a BodyguardCrush on their lord of liege, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Prince Innes]]. He tells her stories about Innes's childhood and encourages her to tell him what she feels. Ironically, due to the nature of the Support system, pursuing Moulder's line makes it impossible for Vanessa to hook up with Innes.
*** Vanessa's sister Syrene also encourages Vanessa's feelings, but it's not clear ''who'' does she ship her with. The guy's name isn't mentioned so it could be either Innes or her other possible husband, [[NiceGuy Forde.]]
** The [[FireEmblemJugdral Seisen]] mangas bring up several of these, too. In the Oosawa manga [[HappilyMarried Ethlin, Cuan]] and [[ActionGirl Ayra]] ship [[KnightInShiningArmor Fin]] with [[spoiler: [[BadassPrincess Lachesis]]]], while [[WhiteMagicianGirl Adean]] ships [[spoiler: her UnluckyChildhoodFriend Azel with his ''other'' female friend [[{{Bokukko}} Tailto]]]], and [[CoolBigSis Mahnya]] ships [[BlowYouAway Levin]] with her little sister [[LadyOfWar Fury]]. OTOH, in the Fujimori version [[{{Trickster}} Dew]] ships Adean ''hard'' with her bodyguard [[HorseArcher Midayle]].
* From ''{{Half-Life}} 2'', Eli Vance trying to bring Alyx and Gordon together, to the former's embarrassment. And the latter's [[HeroicMime stunned silence.]]
* Throughout ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', DonaldDuck and {{Goofy}} supportively tease Sora about his feelings for Kairi. When Kairi and Sora reunite in the end and share a tender embrace, the camera cuts to Donald and Goofy looking pleased.
** Sora can act like this for the canon Disney couples. He gets downright misty-eyed when Disney/{{Mulan}} and Shang are appointed the Emperor's joint bodyguards, and seems to approve of Will and Elizabeth (which leads to some of the aforementioned teasing from Donald and Goofy).
** In a somewhat weirder incident in ''Days'', Xigbar gives Roxas dating advice for impressing Xion. [[spoiler:The catch, of course, is that this relationship fast turns into one huge ShapeshiftingSquick, and Roxas hasn't a clue. Given that Xigbar knew this, he was probably just being a dick.]]
** And let's not forget about Olette. When Kairi stumbles into Twilight Town, befriends the gang, and tells her story about Sora and the others (i.e. the events of the first ''Kingdom Hearts''), Olette is utterly ''mystified'' by it, going as far to call it "romantic".
* Genis from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' seems to be this for Lloyd and Colette... Of course, it's also seems like he's just in it [[RuleOfFunny for the laughs.]]
** In fact, pretty much the entire party seems to be supporting Colette's crush upon the [[ChasteHero clueless]] Lloyd... Except for Zelos, who seems just as intent on cluing Lloyd in on Sheena's crush on him... If only because he ''knows'' it aggravates the latter.
*** That is unless you go for the AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Zelos doing it because [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he wants his beloved to be happy]].
* Norma in ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' can't help but give advice to Chloe for attracting Senel's attention. None of it ''works'', mind you. To add to the weirdness, she ''also'' helps Shirely with her relationship with Senel. Norma just likes to mess around with relationship for the fun of it, it seems.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces,'' Richard and Malik, the latter especially, are both fairly supportive of both Asbel/Cheria and potential BetaCouple [[spoiler: Hubert/Pascal, though they don't ever [[MaybeEverAfter truly get together.]]]] Hilariously, Malik and Richard choose to show this support by [[{{Troll}} trolling the couples]] every chance they get.
** And of course, some may argue that [[HoYay Richard supporting Asbel]] is also a case of IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. After the player wins the Cucco-hunting minigame, Talon raises the suggestion that Link marry his daughter Malon. Whether Link says yes or no, he swiftly laughs it off as a joke, however.
** Also in the Zeldaverse, it's implied that most of the residents of Ordon Village ship Link/Ilia in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. This seems to be largely due to her status as the mayor's daughter and their hopes that he'll be mayor one day, plus the fact that they're good friends and close in age.
** Poked at in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', with Mako saying that if [[TheBigGuy Gonzo]] and [[LittleMissBadass Tetra]] had a kid, he'd be the greatest pirate ever (forget the fact that Tetra's a pre-teen and Gonzo's easily in his 20's at least).
* ''ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'' had Flay and the [[{{Familiar}} Mana]] of Light towards said mana's [[KidWithTheLeash contractor's]] [[TheRival Roxis]] and [[CuteGhostGirl Pamela]]. However, they were doing it only for laughs, trying to humiliate Roxis more, since that's what his ''own Mana'' has as a ''hobby''.
** And some lines the Mana has during the last character event for Roxis suggests that he probably shipped Roxis with [[TheHero Vayne]] -- for the same reason.
* In ''StarOceanTheLastHope'', Welch makes it perfectly clear how much she thinks [[OfficialCouple Edge and Reimi]] should be together.
** Given the true nature of that world, and of Welch, it may be an attempt by a fan to [[RunningTheAsylum run the asylum]].
* Apparently in ''SamuraiWarriors 3'', Kaihime and Keiji encourage Kunoichi to confess to Yukimura, while Magoichi also comments that Yukimura is a lucky dog for having Kunoichi by his side, while [[spoiler: Kunoichi herself is more of a Yukimura/Inahime shipper in Inahime's musou mode.]]
* Excellen Browning and Irmgult Kazahara of ''SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''. It helps the former is a CoolBigSis and actively [[TheTease teases and ships]] the many potential couples amongst the cast throughout the games. The latter may hold a reputation of being TheCasanova, but often ends up giving advice for the guys to chase their LoveInterests.
* Another Day Shiki in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is a YaoiFangirl that ships Neku/Joshua.
* ''LuminousArc2'''s [[spoiler:Ayano]] hints, nudges and outright tease [[TheHero Roland]] for a Roland/Althea pairing. [[spoiler: One reason is because ThePowerOfLove can help Althea deal with her Beast Fiend origin.]]
* In ''{{Persona 4}}'', Rise ships Kanji/[[spoiler:Naoto]]. The main character also has the option to approve of this pairing. She also ships Yosuke/Chie, which creates a hilarious [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend he's not my boyfriend]] moment. It should be noticed that Rise also ships herself with the protagonist, very overtly; it's possible she both tries to weed out competition ''and'' thinks the other pairings are cute.
* Just about everyone shipping Squinoa in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. Especially Selphie. Concert anyone?
** Mere peanuts compared to the shipping child!Ellone did for [[{{Adorkable}} Laguna]] / [[CoolBigSis Raine]].
* Auron seems to ship Tidus and Yuna in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', repeatedly making comments to Tidus to guard Yuna, stay by her side, don't push her away, etc.
** Rikku also seems to approve.
** Whereas some of the others try to drive them apart, not so much because they want one or the other for themselves, but [[spoiler: Yuna was going to die until they said ScrewDestiny.]]
* If you try to express interest in Mira as a male character in ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2'', she points out rather bluntly that Visas and the Handmaiden are both infatuated with you and she doesn't want to have to beat them both off if she starts sharing a bunk with you. To the dismay of many fans.
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Yeoman Kelly Chambers will immediately suggest [[InterspeciesRomance Female!Shepard/Garrus or Male!Shepard/Tali]] the moment said party members join. Notable in that Chambers herself is a romance option for [[BiTheWay either gender]].
** And one of the DLC squadmates, Kasumi Goto, is in on it too, and will comment on all of your relationships. For example:
--->'''Kasumi:''' Tali is so cute. You're all she ever talks about, in that sweet "rainbows and butterflies" kind of way! She loves you, Shepard. Be good to her.
*** According to Kasumi, most of the crew are shippers when it comes to Fem!Shep/Garrus, commenting "A lot of people want to see you together." when you romance him. This is also a [[LampshadeHanging Lampshade]] on [[FanPreferredCouple their wild popularity]] in the fandom.
*** Kasumi also ships a couple of your crewmen, specifically [[ThoseTwoGuys Engineers Ken Donnelly and Gabriella Daniels]]. Provided they both survive the endgame, they might end up in a relationship in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''.
** There's an ''advertisement on the Citadel'' that ships Shepard with... whichever potential love interest (if any) is in your party when you click on it. ("The next time ''you're'' out on the town with [Officer Vakarian/Sere Krios/Mr. Taylor/Miss Zorah/Miss Lawson/ERROR: CITIZEN ID NOT FOUND[[hottip:*:(Jack, in case you were wondering)]]]...") It'll even mention Justicar Samara, who isn't actually fully romanceable. Alternately, if you're in a relationship with one of the [=ME1=] squadmates and there's nobody romanceable in your current party, it'll mention that love interest instead.
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', Shepard can become a [[spoiler:Joker/EDI]] shipper, pushing the former to "go for it" and giving the latter dating advice.
*** Also in ''3'', assuming you talked Liara into talking with her [[OneGenderRace "father"]] Matriarch Aethyta, at one point in their conversations Aethyta will ship Liara with Shepard.
* Done literally in ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' with most of the others on the ship.
* SamAndMax themselves are to blame for the Sybil/Lincoln [[CargoShip pairing]].
* Coach and Rochelle take this attitude towards Ellis and Zoey in the ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' DLC, The Passing. Rochelle and Francis are not nearly so lucky.
** Well, Rochelle said [[CrowningMomentOfFunny she hated Francis' vest]] - it would simply never work.
* Two of the [[CrowningMomentOfFunny funniest moments]] in ''VideoGame/GoldenSun: The Lost Age'' involved this trope.
** The better-known is in Madra, when Sheba asks Jenna about her "thing" with Isaac, causing Jenna to [[LuminescentBlush turn bright magenta]] and [[{{Tsundere}} indignantly tell her to shut up]]. Sheba promptly jumps on Jenna's follow-up inquiry about how Garet is doing.
*** Even funnier in hindsight, since [[spoiler: Isaac and Jenna did get together, at least long enough to produce [[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Matthew]]]]...
** The lesser-known happens if you trigger [[ChineseGirl Feizhi's]] brief [[TheCameo cameo]] at Champa, in which she's searching for Isaac to give him a little thank you gift, a Golden Ring. Kraden openly encourages her to pursue the matter further, [[HilarityEnsues much to Feizhi's dismay]].
** Kraden might be at it again in ''Dark Dawn'', since his excuse for Nowell's absence in the second half of the game is that [[MayflyDecemberRomance she took a fancy to Piers]], which he may or may not have encouraged.
* In ''[[DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy]]'', [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Cecil]] ships [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII Firion]][=/=][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]], encouraging the two of them to talk of their [[SomethingAboutARose love of flowers]].
** He also believes that [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII the Onion Knight]] [[PrecociousCrush has romantic feelings for]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Terra]]. Of course, since he's the only Cosmos Warrior in the game who is [[FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears canonically married]], and from a medieval-style setting (in which the knightly concept of courtly love would have been in full effect), it really only makes sense that he'd act this way.
* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} [[UpdatedRerelease Portable]]'' has a minor example: [[TheLancer Junpei]] tells the [[DistaffCounterpart Female Protagonist]] that he thinks it would be funny if she and [[TheBigGuy Akihiko]] got together and that [[PlatonicLifePartners he'd totally be her wingman if she decided to go for it]].
* In ''{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2'', the whole of ZEXIS takes sides in the [[MacrossFrontier Ranka/Alto/Sheryl]] LoveTriangle.
* In ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'', Cecille ships L'Arc and Ryfia. She'll subtly clue in on one's feelings for the other, though usually she does this around Ryfia more than L'Arc.
* Because of the type of game LuxPain is, it is expected that there are A LOT of shippers. [[NiceGuy Ryo]] / [[BrokenAce Hibiki]] [[HoYay is shipped]] the most by [[YaoiFangirl Suzu]], [[TheHero Atsuki]] (although rather reluctantly due to Suzu literally annoying him to get an answer about the two) and [[EveryoneCanSeeIt technically the whole school]] if Mika's dialogue has anything to say to it.
** Many people who originally tried to hook [[HotBlooded Akira]] up with [[GenkiGirl Mika]] suddenly switch to Akira trying to get along with [[TheQuietOne Atsuki]]. Akira's ''father'' of all people has a more noticeable switch in the last chapter of the game when he mentions that all his son talks about is Atsuki and how if Atsuki plans on leaving, he should come back because he's welcome. Note that this is what he said to Mika earlier in the game and while it still applies he's referring to the fact that Mika is like the daughter he never had.
*** Then there's [[CheerfulChild Nami]] who despite shipping herself with Atsuki, has dropped a lot of hints concerning why Atsuki constantly chooses Sweet Ring (the restaurant Akira's father owns and where Akira works) to eat out whenever he takes his friends out. Shortly after she says that, Akira shows up and her sprite has this funny smile on her face.
*** A minor character [[CampyGay Shunichi]] in episode 19, stops searching for his friend to talk to Atsuki. While the original conversation was about his friend [[KnowledgeBroker Kyosuke]] having a girlfriend (which he assumes is Mika), he suddenly asks about Atsuki's preference. The correct answer is saying that Atsuki isn't interested in dating (girls) and Shunichi suddenly assumes that Atsuki likes Akira (and the player is assuming that Atsuki denies it with how quickly the conversation changes).
* ''{{Solatorobo}}'' has [[spoiler:Merveille]] as this to [[spoiler:Red and Elh]], even going so far as to [[spoiler:create a RescueRomance scenario for them in the VirtualTrainingSimulation.]] Chocolat and [[spoiler:Béluga]] [[EveryoneCanSeeIt also seem to approve of the pairing]], but aren't nearly as pushy about it (though Chocolat does manage a LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone moment once).
* ''Everyone in the party'' ships Ronyx/Ilia in ''[[StarOcean1 Star Ocean: First Departure]]''. And all of them were visibly relieved when Ronyx finally makes a move.
* In DigitalDevilSaga, Heat's line of ''"She's just pissed because her girlfriend [[spoiler: got killed]]."'' indicates that he may ship [[LesYay Argilla/Jinana]].
* After the EX battle of ''[[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', Marisa suggests [[AxCrazy Flandre]] get married... and offers to introduce her to [[WhatTheHellHero Reimu]] for this purpose.
* In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'':
** Dunban shows complete support in his sister Fiora and Shulk getting togheter. He also tells Reyn that he supports him with Sharla.
** Sharla privately tells Melia that she'll support her feelings for Shulk. [[spoiler:This happens ''after'' the group discovers that Shulk's childhood friend Fiora is BackFromTheDead]].
* In TheKingOfFighters, several charas have shown leanings towards the trope:
** King/Ryo Sakazaki: Ryo's sister Yuri, his father Takuma and his best friend Robert Garcia are ''very'' blatant in their support. (To '''very''' silly and awkward degrees in ''XI'') Takuma's own share of support might be going to the "IWantGrandkids" extreme; it makes sense, since Ryo is the eldest son of the family and already in his mid 20's (ComicBookTime be damned). [And oddly, he goes [[OverprotectiveDad the OPPOSITE way]] in regards to Yuri [[LatinLover and Robert]].]
** Sie Kensou/Athena Asamiya: The earliest shipper is the aforementioned Robert, since his ''2001'' win quote against Kensou has him say "Hey, let me know what's up with you and that girl!". By ''XIII'' Yuri, King ''and'' Joe Higashi have eagerly joined in.

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''VisualNovel/Morenatsu'' has Amaki Tsukishiro, who actively ships Hiroyuki and Shin if you play Shin's route. Shin and Hiroyuki both deny everything, and Shin even tends to get mad at Amaki for doing it.
* [[CoolBigSis Taiga Fujimura]] from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' is this for Sakura/Shirou, which is mostly reading between the lines until the third story path. You know, Heaven's Feel... the [[FromBadToWorse depressing one.]]
** In the Fate route, Rin is a ShipperOnDeck for Shirou/Saber, being completely supportive when Shirou decides to take Saber out on a date.
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' can be a bit confusing when it comes to [[HaremGenre shipp]][[MindScrew ing]].
** Rena Ryuugu is supportive of Mion Sonozaki's affections for Keiichi, [[MatchmakerCrush despite explicitly also liking Keiichi.]] She also notes once how [[ToyShip Satoko and Rika]] [[LesYay act like a married couple.]]
** Shion Sonozaki, Mion's twin sister, supports both her sister's affections for Keiichi, and ''Keiichi'''s affections for Rena.
** Satoko seems to be just fine with Shion's affections for Satoshi, though it's debatable whether she really notices it.
** Nurse Takano and Tomitake seem to ship Keiichi and Rena too.
** [[spoiler:Ultimately, though, the series ends with no ships resolved. It makes sense, given that it is ThePowerOfFriendship that finally lets the gang put an end to the endless tragedy.]]
* ''KatawaShoujo'' has several cases:
** If you (as Hisao) pick either [[FragileFlower Hanako]] or [[StatuesqueStunner Lilly's]] route, the girl who's not chosen will support you trying to gain the other one's affections, each in their own ways. [[spoiler: It ''may'' be a MatchmakerCrush in the case of Hanako, though it's not openly stated.]]
** Also, in [[spoiler: Hanako's route, [[{{Tomboy}} Miki]] will talk to Hisao at some point and wonder if he and Hanako are a couple or not. The reply you give her will make you either gain or lose points with Hanako, thus pushing you either to the Good, Bad or Neutral Endings.]]
** The [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Nurse]] will also support Hisao's interest in Emi in her route, due to his InterGenerationalFriendship with both of them. [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer Though he'll also remind Hisao about his meds...]]
** Akira supports Hisao's relationship with her younger sister Lilly, in Lilly's route.
-->'''Akira''': You're a good kid, Hisao. When I said I approved of you being with my sister, [[SincerityMode I wasn't joking or just being nice]]. [[spoiler:[[StarCrossedLovers It's just unfortunate that doesn't really count for much in this world]].]]
** The biggest example is [[GenkiGirl Mis]][[NoIndoorVoice ha]], who shows shades of this in several routes:
*** In the case of Hanako, she'll bring [[{{Meganekko}} Shi]][[StudentCouncilPresident zune]] along. They'll ship it both because of cuteness (in Misha's case) [[spoiler: and because they ''do'' care for Hanako, despite Shizune's difficulties with Lilly (because she's Hanako's OnlyFriend at first, they can't get to Hanako without seeing Lilly) and their huge workload]].
*** She will also voice her Hisao/Shizune shipping if you go through her best friend Shizune's route. [[spoiler: Then it's subverted when you find out that this is more of a MatchmakerCrush... because Misha is in love with ''Shizune''.]]
*** She also grins widely after finding out that Hisao and Lilly are a couple, having refused to believe Hisao's claims that nothing out of the ordinary happened on their trip to Hokkaido.
*** Finally, Misha also shows support of Hisao's relationship with Emi, should the player pursue her route. ("Young love is so unpredictable, isn't it~!"). And even more so: [[spoiler: if you choose the wrong option and Hisao gets thrown outta Emi's house as a result, Misha will come to the rescue and openly force him face what he did. Like in Miki's case, getting either the Bad or the Good Ending depends on what you (as Hisao) reply to her.]] (This may include Shizune too, as it turns ou that [[spoiler: Shizune was the one who told her to go help Hisao in the first place.]])
** Lilly also ships Hisao/Emi on her only post-Act 1 appearance in Emi's route.
-->'''Lilly''': ''(teasingly)'' Ah, so it’s just friends is it? How disappointing.
* Most characters in ''VisualNovel/NanatsuiroDrops'' support Haru/Sumomo.
* Riko in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'' is pretty forward about her desire to see her daughter hook up with her step son. Masayuki is slightly unnerved about the matter.
* In ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', [[{{Meido}} Shannon]] ships [[{{Kuudere}} Kanon]] / [[ActionGirl Jessica]]. In return, Jessica ships Shannon/[[NiceGuy George]]. [[spoiler:Considering that later games ''heavily'' imply that [[SplitPersonality Kanon and Shannon are the same person]], it makes the earlier shipping scenes ''very'' aaaaaaawkward in context.]]
* A couple of ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' examples: Mio, as a YaoiFangirl, naturally ships [[HoYay Riki/Kyousuke]], sighing with a smile when she hears how they used to hold hands when they were younger and telling him to treasure their friendship forever. Kyousuke, on the other hand, in an aversion of MySisterIsOffLimits, ships [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Riki/Rin]], as he thinks that if the two of them are together they can achieve much more than if they're on their own.
* Very, ''very'' darkly used in VisualNovel/SchoolDays. In one of [[spoiler: Kotonoha]]'s routes, a bunch of girls ([[spoiler: Nanami, Hikari, Otome and Otome's GirlPosse]]) decide tht Makoto is better off with the aforementioned girl's love rival [[spoiler: Sekai (also a friend of them)]]. What will they do to make sure Makoto will "choose the right girl"? Treat the "girl in between '''like utter shit'''! [[spoiler: Nanami and Hikari verbally threaten Koto at first, then help Otome and Co.'s already present bullying of her via [[MaliciousSlander spreading rumors about]] [[ReallyGetsAround Koto beind a slutty "phromone girl"]], and then they tip off the GirlPosse so they can destroy a lunch that [[LethalChef Kotonoha]] made with lots of effort for him.]] The results will be very different, depending on whether Makoto finds out or not: if he does [[spoiler: he'll go TranquilFury on them and cut '''all''' ties with Sekai, then commit himself solely to Kotonoha]] - but if he doesn't [[spoiler: Kotonoha will [[BreakTheCutie massively]] [[YanDere snap]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse on Sekai]] ''and give her a fatal case of SlashedThroat, in broad daylight and in front of Makoto''.]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Susan's suggestion in [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-08-09 this]] ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' strip ''probably'' qualifies.
** While Sarah's [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-12-28 various and relatively subtle attempts]] to influence Ellen and Nanase (putting them together for the pictures, seating them together for dinner, and maneuvering them into sitting side-by-side on the couch) definitely qualify.
* In ''[[WalkyVerse Shortpacked!]]'', Robin's fixation with [[YaoiFangirl Ethan and Thad]], even after they'd both told her they weren't gonna do it... To the point where it got a little creepy.
** A little? She tried to pass a bill through ''Congress'' to make them "do it"!
* A bonus strip in one of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' books makes Elan into this. He not-too-subtly attempts to get Hinjo and Lien to hook up, out of the belief that they need to "repopulate the paladin race". They are not amused.
* While Fox and Collin in ''FriendlyHostility'' are a canon couple, Derringer certainly qualifies by [[http://friendlyhostility.com/d/20071123.html referring to them]] as his [[OneTruePairing "OTP"]], and he's not afraid to defend it.
* The main LoveTriangle in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''.
** Moloch von Zinzer and Violetta [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090311 were about to have a bet on who wins]].
*** Violetta has never seen Agatha and Gil together, however. More or less every character who ''has'', ships them; see also [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050314 Master Payne's entire Circus of Adventure.]]
*** The Castle [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091120 seems]] to have switched to an OT3.

'''Moloch:''' The crowd is ''always'' for ''that!''
** Zeetha apparently [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090327 ships Agatha/Gil.]] Before that, encouraged [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20061016 Lars and Agatha]] [[spoiler:until he died]]. Her homeland worships a fertility goddess whose holy days are "a lot of fun (cha cha cha)". Why would you be surprised?
** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110318 And now it seems that the Jäger generals ship Agatha/Gil]].
*** Now? They shipped them in volume 2! They just had a fight because [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20031103 one of them was really unsubtle about it]]. They were probably the first to realize that marrying the Heterodyne and the baron's heir was the best way to avoid a war.
*** And now that Tarvek [[CanNotSpitItOut finally spit it out]], the entire city of Mechanicsburg, Jaeger generals included, has a betting pool on whether he or Gil gets with Agatha. The supposed "dark horse" bet is a threesome, though apparently that's such a popular choice Vanamonde says the odds are only five-to-one against it, indicating that there are more than a few shippers out for a OneTrueThreesome.
** In turn, Tarvek apparently ships Higgs/Zeetha. Higgs's reply on this is [[ShipTease ambiguous]].
* Gabby successfully shipped Tipper and Chiachi together in ''NamirDeiter''.
** Falco, on the other hand, was not so lucky -- her attempts to ship Tipper and Gabby just pushed the two of them apart for a while, even ''before'' outing Gabby.
* Both Hod and Loki from ''BratHalla'' ship Thor and Sif. Loki mostly does it to cause Thor anguish. For Hod, that seems to be a bonus.
* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'': [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/954 Erika]] and [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/722 Largo]] seem to ship Piro and Kimiko. Yuki's friends ship her with Piro at first, until they encourage her relationship with Kobayashi.
** Yuki's mother obviously ships Erika/Largo. Not that it needed help anyway.
** And Yuki herself is probably the biggest Piro/Miho fangirl in the series.
* Nephilim from ''Webcomic/FetchQuestSagaOfTheTwelveArtifacts'', despite being straitlaced compared to her [[ActionGirl twin]] [[RebelliousPrincess sister]], has this as her quirk. Or so WordOfGod says...
* ''QuestionableContent'':
** As of [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1663 this]] strip, Dora is shipping Angus/Faye. The strip is even ''called'' "Dora's OTP?"
** A [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1787 later strip]] has her shipping [[NotADate Marigold/Tai]].
** Both Marten and Hannelore ship Marigold/Francis [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2163 here]].
** Marten and Faye are [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2226 currently trying]] to get Dora and Tai to hook up.
* Though relatively passive about it, everyone in ''RedString'' ships Reika and Eiji. Multiple characters comment "havn't those two gotten together yet?"
* Cloud's mother Ye Thuza and his younger sister Yuna from ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' try to ship him with Sandra, in the [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/17/0165-kissus-interruptus/ most annoying way possible]]. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/20/0166-shipwreck/ their fandom]].
* Pretty much everyone in ''BittersweetCandyBowl'' tries to get Mike and Lucy together. While Lucy is all for it (though she hates the interference in her life, she does love Mike... [[{{Tsundere}} probably]]), Mike has a long-distance girlfriend and rejects Lucy, leading to much angst. Complicated by the fact that several cast members have crushes on Mike or Lucy, but still want them to get together...
** Yashy is especially egregious in this regard, particularly in the earlier strips. This is complete with viciously insulting any other girl who displays an attraction to Mike... [[MrFanservice which happens to be most of them]].
* [=PeeJee=] ships Davan with his current girlfriend Vanessa in ''SomethingPositive''. Having coerced Davan into following up Vanessa's interest in him when he never would have bothered, she likes Vanessa and she's not going to let anyone mess up her [[PlatonicLifePartners Platonic Life Partner's]] happiness, especially not Davan himself.
* Sister America and Sister Japan of ''ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'' are both {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s. Sister America's ship of choice is Denmark/Norway (with Sweden occasionally [[OT3 thrown into the mix]]) and Sister Japan's ship is Netherlands/Belgium.
** Although Sister Japan isn't above fantasizing about Denmark/Netherlands/(modern day) Germany; particularly since Denmark and Netherlands [[PlayingToTheFetishes encourage it]].
* Nepeta Leijon of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. She even has a ''wall'' cataloging all her ships. They cover every single person she knows, ''including herself''.
** Also, Hearts Boxcars. Yes, the Midnight Crew's [[TheBrute huge brute]] is the resident matchmaker. To be fair, he goes about it in his own [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004449 disturbingly violent and aggressive way.]]
** Karkat has his own [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004690 variation]] on this, but it's more [[spoiler:trying to avoid what {{Squick}}s him (InterspeciesRomance) while taking in consideration what squicks the humans (BrotherSisterIncest)]]. He even drew a [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/scraps/MATINGDIAGRAMFORMORONS.gif diagram]].
*** Karkat also seems to really ship [[ScrewYourself Jade/Jadesprite]] a [[YuriFanboy whole lot]], [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005152 seeing them kissing]] in an ImagineSpot, and then making [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005771 repeated and increasingly outrageous]] {{Freudian Slip}}s when describing their relationship to John.
** There have been a few chat logs/memos that suggest Sollux and even Viska ship Karkat and Terezi.
** UU has apparently written shippy fanfiction about the Alpha kids, but it's unknown yet what pairings she included.
** There are indications that the AR may be trying to set up Dirk and Jake (hitting on Jake and telling Roxy that because of this Jake has gotten used to the idea of Dirk being into him, encouraging Dirk to confess, admitting that he has his own plots but assuring Dirk that they don't conflict with his, stressing that Jake play server to Dirk just as he suggested would help their relationship...) but his intentions, as of yet, can only be guessed at.
** Even [[MonsterClown Gamzee]] has his moments.
-->[[color:#2b0057:[=bro. SLOPPY M4K3OUTS. NOW. on the roof. H3H3H3 >:o] =]]]
** Meulin goes beyond even Nepeta's levels of shipping obsession, even going as far as playing TheMatchmaker with her friends. After all, she's a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] version of Nepeta in general.
** Squarewave's reaction to [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007658 seeing Roxy kiss Dirk?]] "YEAH DOGG!!!"
* Sara of ''PennyAndAggie'' spent a while convinced the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl title characters]] were a rolling storm of lesbian FoeYay. It turns out she was projecting, and [[ComingOutStory she eventually comes to terms with her own sexuality]]. Later still, she [[spoiler: turns out to have been right all along, and she couldn't be more ecstatic about it]].
* Beau the angel is a smirky kind of shipper in ''{{Catena}}''. Not only is he evidently in favor of a match between Bryony and the Grim Reaper, but he's rather smug during those moments that indicate it will eventually happen.
* Wildy San of ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' ships [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1086.php Abel and Jyrras]] (see last panel).
* In what is perhaps the weirdest example of this trope, {{Spinnerette}}'s '''bottom left hand''' ships her and Mecha Maid.
* Uh, Kat and Jones from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' , anyone? Jones, hands Andrew rose, nudges him to Parley? Kat, with that exuberant expression on her face as Andrew and Parley are about to kiss, then getting Annie out of the way as she is perpetually clueless to current affairs? Later she also [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=909 pushes Annie herself into talking with Jack]].
** Also note [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=945 Kat's reaction]] after their not-kiss.
* ''GirlsWithSlingshots'' has Jamie, who ships a new couple every arc. Best example [[http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws-978/ here]].
* Syren of ''TheJupiterPalladium'' is pretty much made of this trope. [[http://jupiter-palladium.com/jp1/ch1/494 There's a wallpaper of the face]].
* In ''DumbingOfAge'', Joyce ships [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/ Billie/Walky]].
** Meanwhile, Billie has been shipping Walky/Dorothy, if only to get the former out of her hair.
* Raji [[http://www.mahoushounenfight.com/?p=356 is one]] for Yuki and Alex in ''MahouShounenFight''.
* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'' had this as a popular pastime in Artemis Academy. "[[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/i_am_shipping_those_two I am shipping those two soooooo hard!]]"
* In SlightlyDamned [[DeadpanSnarker Rhea's]] support of [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Kieri]] and [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Buwaro's]] [[InterspeciesRomance relationship]] is obvious early on. The support of an elite angelic Seraph, the warriors skilled in exterminating Demons, was a [[http://www.sdamned.com/2012/12/12082012/ bit of a surprise.]]

* Eleonora assumes this role in GreekNinja, trying to persuade Sasha that Daichi is actually her other half. Despite the fact they hate each other.
* [[LoveGoddess Aphrodite and Eros]] to Thalia and Apollo in ''ThaliasMusings''. [[AlphaBitch Aphrodite]] doesn't really care about their happiness, she just thinks UnresolvedSexualTension is a sin.
** One of Apollo's teenaged female worshipers reveals herself as a shipper at the Pythian Games:
-->" 'I totally ship you and her since I saw that play. Team Thalia!' she pumped her fist in the air. Several girls in the audience and some on stage clapped and cheered, while a few yelled out 'Team Calliope!', [[CrackPairing 'Team Terpsichore!']], [[HoYay 'Team Dionysus!']]…you get the picture." [[http://thaliasmusingsnovels.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/1-7-please-be-seated/]]
* Nella for WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, although she quickly backs off the opinion that they have a lot of common when the Chick gives her a DeathGlare that could melt steel.
** Critic himself thought [[FamiliarFaces CR]] and {{Phelous}} would make a cute couple.
** Quinn, the Irish camera-man on WebVideo/DemoReel, was rooting for Tacoma and Rebecca to get together.
*** In a fabulously meta moment, Donnie shipped himself with the entire male cast by asking for SlashFic with him and any of them together.
* In the furry role-play SinaiMuck, one of the first things Natilie asks Chiaroscuro upon meeting him is if he's Envoy's boyfriend.
* In the Playdom game ''Blackwood and Bell Mysteries'', [[TheDitz George]] [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20120704/blackwoodandbell.jpg seems to ship the main characters]], [[SpiritedYoungLady Catherine Bell]] and [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman James Blackwood.]]
* In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', Téa is portrayed as one of these.
* In ''TheLizzieBennetDiaries'', [[GenkiGirl Gigi]] and [[BlackBestFriend Fitz]] both ship Lizzie/Darcy. To the point where they collaborate using SpySpeak on a plan that culminates in Gigi dragging her brother into the room Lizzie's in, pushing them both into chairs, and running out again.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Jun of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' does this for the famous Zutara pairing, starting first when Zuko asks her to track Aang with Katara's necklace, as she states "Aw, is it your girlfriend?" or something like that. Her second appearance causes an [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend I'm Not Her Boyfriend]] moment.
** Also Iroh, in one of the comics, briefly muses that perhaps Katara would be good for Zuko.
** And whoever wrote the play in "Ember Island Players" was clearly a Zutaran, to the point that the characters were weirded out by it.
** As well as the infamous Saint Jun, we have the [[ObviouslyEvil bald, tattoed criminals]] from "Avatar Day" who are apparently ship Kataang, and [[TheDragon Azula]] who ships Maiko. Azula jumped ship at the end of "Boiling Rock" but she was all for it before [[spoiler:Zuko's HeelFaceTurn,]] because Zuko staying with Mai was, in her mind, the best way to [[ManipulativeBastard keep him where she wants him.]] [[spoiler:It works, but NOT in the way she expected... as Zuko leaves anyway and later Mai has a HeelFaceTurn for him. "I love Zuko more than I fear you!", indeed.]]
** Let's not forget Sokka:
--->'''Sokka:''' Get in. We're going to save your boyfriend.
--->'''Katara:''' He's not my-
--->'''Sokka:''' Whatever.
*** Even better in the French translation:
---->'''Katara:''' He's not my boyfriend.
---->'''Sokka:''' Not yet.
** Even the Avatar Extras facts do this, as in the BigDamnKiss that finishes off the series, a little bubble pops up that says "Kataang wins!"
** This trope is PlayedForLaughs by Toph in the four-part series finale, where she seems to express herself as a Harutara shipper.
--->'''Toph:''' I ''knew'' it! You ''did'' have a secret thing with Haru!
--->''([[{{Beat}} everyone stares at her]])''
--->'''Katara:''' Uh, no.
** In the SequelSeries, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', [[BookWorm Jinora]] and [[GenkiGirl Ikki]] ship Makorra.
** Interestingly, Mako himself in one episode comes off as a shipper for Korra and his brother Bolin.
*** [[spoiler: Hilarious in hindsight considering Book One ends not just with Mako having feelings for Korra himself, but declaring his love for her.]]
* Done in a roundabout way by Mary Jane on ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. She goes to the school dance with Peter, but later meets and befriends Gwen when she transfers to Midtown High. Upon realizing that [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Gwen has feelings for Peter]], she gives her a pep talk which [[spoiler:helps convince Gwen to spontaneously kiss Peter in the season 1 finale.]] She continues to support the possibility of a pairing between them throughout season 2.
** Aunt May, however, seems to ship Peter/Mary Jane from the moment she meets the girl, needling her nephew to meet her. She ultimately is the one who arranges that one date they had, by convincing Betty (who's twenty) that she's too old to go with Peter and then arranging Mary Jane to go behind his back.
--->'''Peter:''' Aunt May, you're an evil mastermind!
** The series also has an inversion with [[AlphaBitch Sally Avril]], who just wants her friend [[LovableAlphaBitch Liz]] to stop fawning over that puny Parker. She even does an IronicEcho of Mary Jane's "Finally" when [[spoiler:Liz and Peter break up]].
* What about Keef in the unfinished episode, "Return of Keef" of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''. That guy is... ...very obsessed over the Zim/Dib pairing...
* In ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Ron being kissed by Kim often makes his naked mole rat Rufus say "awww" in response. By comparison, he acts disgusted if Ron gets kissed by a different girl. And at the end of the movie, when they finally get together, but are still a little shy about it, he pushes them together to start them dancing.
** Even the villains seem to ship the heroes, in ''A Very Possible Christmas'' Drakken apparently ships Kim/Ron, even pushing them together under mistletoe [[spoiler:(it was actually parsley)]] as soon as Kim arrives; Shego ships Josh/Kim in ''Blush'' and then Kim/Ron in ''[[GrandFinale Graduation]]''.
** In the GrandFinale, Drakken's symbiotic flower ships Drakken and Shego together.
** Kim's mom also seemed to secretly ship [[OfficialCouple Kim/Ron]] for the first three seasons. Became not-so-secret in ''[[TheMovie So the Drama]]''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Cosmo and Wanda like seeing Timmy get kissed by Tootie.
** [[AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner The live-action film]] gives an odd inversion to this, in that Cosmo and Wanda spend much of the first half of the film trying to prevent Timmy and Tootie from getting together, since it would mean Timmy would officially be grown up and they'd have to leave him. [[spoiler:This eventually begins to change after Poof brings them to realize it's wrong to prevent Timmy from growing up, and by the end of the film, they're happy that Timmy and Tootie are finally together.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has both Gwen's support for Ben/Julie and Ben's support for Gwen/Kevin. In the tradition of the series, it is as [[RomanticPlotTumor awkward]] and [[StrangledByTheRedString forced]] as the actual romance.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' sees Emma and Lo constantly wanting Reef and Fin to get together. They even text one another like giddy schoolgirls whenever they see the two of them doing anything vaguely romantic.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland,'' Cody helps his friend Trent hook up with Gwen, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy even though he also has a crush on her]]. In the same vein, Geoff and DJ could both tell that their friend Duncan and Courtney liked each other and playfully teased her about it.
** Duncan and DJ both gave Owen/Izzy a thumbs up in the 19th episode.
** {{Fanon}} often includes stories where characters play matchmaker for [[HoYay Noah and Cody]]. Usually includes Izzy, probably because on the show she once teased Noah about this.
** On ''TotalDramaWorldTour,'' pretty much everyone (Gwen, Bridgette, Izzy, sort-of Heather) seems to ship Cody with [[StalkerWithACrush Sierra]]...''except'' Cody, who has a crush on Gwen. Tyler seems to like that pairing, though, since [[TalkingToHimself he helped Cody]] get a picture with her.
** Noah seems to ship Tyler/Lindsay, since he once offered Tyler advice about it. He also seems to have a talent at sensing attraction between people, since he noticed Alejandro's crush on Heather before anybody else.
** Sierra seems to have supported Duncan/Gwen ''before'' they got together, no doubt in part because it would [[PairTheSpares free up Cody to be with her]]. However, when they actually got together by [[YourCheatingHeart making out behind Courtney's back]], Sierra turns against them. (Though again, her animosity toward Gwen may be at least partially because Cody did ''not'' AbandonShipping when he found out, continuing to support and hit on Gwen despite her being in a relationship with somebody else.)
* From ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Cyborg shipping Robin and Starfire. It even became a plot point in one episode and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo''. "It's about time."
** And in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'', the comics based off of the western animation, Starfire seems to ship Beast Boy/Raven. "Perhaps Raven was teleported into an alternate dimension where she and Beast Boy are madly in love and ask me to be their maid of the bride at their matrimonial ceremony?"
* There are many examples from ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'':
** Amore, the pixie of love, obviously. She most blatantly ships Stella/Brandon and [[spoiler: Princess Amentia and her UnluckyChildhoodFriend.]]
** In the episode where Helia was introduced, Amore and Chatta quickly come to the conclusion that he and Flora would make a cute couple.
** In season 3, it seems that Stella wanted Layla and Nabu (who at the time was using the fake name Ophir to hide his identity) to get together.
** Nabu spends much of season 4 trying to help his best friend Riven save his relationship with Layla's best friend Musa.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': On "Summer Belongs to You!", Phineas seems supportive of Ferb/Vanessa and Candace/Jeremy (much to Isabella's frustration, since he's [[ObliviousToLove not noticing]] ''[[ObliviousToLove her]]'' [[ObliviousToLove affections]]).
** In addition, all the Fireside Girls ship Phineas/Isabella, Stacy supports Jeremy/Candace, and Candace, Phineas and Ferb ship [[HappilyAdopted their parents]].
---> '''Ferb:''' Well, don't just stand there. ''Kiss her!''
* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' shipped GreenLantern and Hawkgirl in [[AxCrazy his own quirky way]].
-->"Is it just me, or is there something going on between those two? Will GreenLantern ever admit to his feelings? Will Hawkgirl ever stop [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sublimating her passions]] with that big honkin' mace?! Will True Love conquer all? [[spoiler:''Not on my show!''" '''[[MomentKiller *BOOM*]]''']]
** And then, we have a few people who tried to encourage Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/WonderWoman to get together, including Wonder Woman herself. [[CelibateHero Batman will have none of it.]]
* Everyone who finds out Helga's deep dark secret on ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' seems to be rooting for her. Her best friend Phoebe and Arnold's Grandpa Phil (who married a former childhood bully himself) will occasionally try to help lead [[ObliviousToLove Arnold]] in the right direction.
** Don't forget [[ParodySue Lila]]. As much as some fans like to go the DieForOurShip route because Arnold likes her, in the play episode Lila is willing to drop out of her role as Juliet just so Helga can get the part opposite him. Lila does ''not'' like Arnold that way, and is more than happy to have him get together with someone who does.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Tucker ships his best friends, Danny and Sam, long before either of them starts to realize their feelings for one another.
** Not to mention Danny's Parents, the kids at his school, even Danny's ghost enemies ship them together at one point or another.
*** Geez even their dreams shipped them together.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}},'' WordOfGod says Angela ships [[InterspeciesRomance her father with Elisa]], as does [[TheMentor Hudson]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' Yumi's [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling little brother]] Hiroki ships Yumi and Ulrich. He makes several comments throughout the series, including one where Ulrich was fighting a giant crab that had entered the real world, and he shouts, "This is so awesome! I keep telling you, you gotta go out with this guy!" In a public street, in front of Yumi, Ulrich and both of Yumi's parents.
** Also, despite what HoYay fans might tell, Odd is definitely a Ulrich/Yumi shipper, even trying to advise Ulrich on the subject. Of course, Ulrich never follows his advices.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': Jade ships Jackie/Viper. "She'd be such a cool aunt!"
* Alfred from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' is such a Batman/Catwoman shipper that he actually writes RealPersonFic about it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'', Hadji's mother Neela ships her own son with Jessie; or so her comments in "The Bangalore Falcon" seem to imply.
* For about the first three seasons of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', Jane shipped her brother Trent with her best friend Daria.
** In "Write Where It Hurts," Daria's last story has [[LovableLibby Quinn]] married to [[IAmNotDurwood Jaime]], one of her three constant suitors, while in another story [[TheDitz Jesse]] is apparently dating [[CoolLoser Jane]]. Of course, yet another story had [[CrackPairing Jane/Kevin]] in a GraduateHomageShot (with [[DumbJock Kevin]] as Elaine), so these probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.
* Quite a few examples in ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowski'':
** Gunther apparently liked seeing Kick kiss Kendall in "Box Office Blitz".
** In "For the Love of Gunther", Kick tried to help Gunther hooking up with with Jackie - Partly to get rid of her, but also because he wanted to help his friend.
** At the end of "Dancing With the Enemy," Kick and Kendall are having a very affectionate moment, until someone in the crowd shouts "Kiss her!" This, of course, is their cue to go back to acting as if they hate each other.
* Miss Martian and Artemis in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' take turns trying to ship the other with another team member (Miss Martian with Aqualad and Artemis with Kid Flash). But it was only to turn the other away from their mutual interest: Superboy.
** In season two, Megan's "[[BloodBrothers little brother]]" Beast Boy ships her with Superboy, even though they've broken up at this point.
** Kent Nelson shipped Artemis and Wally together long before they actually got together for real. His last words to Wally were to find his own spitfire like his own wife Inza, who never let Kent get away with anything.
** In regards to [[http://asexyvirgin.tumblr.com/post/29876997917 Robin and Aqualad]]'s opinions on the deal...
-->Robin [about [[spoiler: Miss Martian and Superboy]] being together]: "You know that they're a couple, right?"
-->Aqualad: "I believe I knew it before they did!"
** In season two, ''Black Manta'' of all people [[spoiler: ships Aqualad/Tigress (Artemis) - he thinks they're a couple, and he clearly approves.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', the good version Jack appears to ship Raimundo/Kimiko, even dragging Raimundo over to her and placing his hand on her shoulder in ''Time after Time''. Their reactions imply that this isn't the first time he's done this.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Hearts and Hooves Day" the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to set their teacher Cheerilee up with Applebloom's older brother Big Macintosh. HilarityEnsues when they go as far as to make a LovePotion.
* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode ''Cartman Finds Love'', Cartman becomes obsessed with pairing up new girl Nichole and Token, [[TokenMinorityCouple since they're both black]]. So much so, in fact, that when he learns Nichole has a crush on Kyle (and vice-versa), he tells her that [[FoeYay he and Kyle]] are a gay couple. He even [[spoiler:follows Kyle on his date with Nichole, professes his love for him over the megascreen and serenades him with John Michael Montgomrry's "I Swear"]] just so Nichole and Token can be together.
* In Angel's Friends the BigBad ships Raf and Sulfus, since Raf is an angel and Sulfus is a demon and them getting together would free her from her prison.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', a newly-woken April perks up and demands all the squeeworthy details when she finds out that Leonardo has met a girl. She's clearly ready and willing to support him and his new love interest (possibly understanding that this is something he can't tell his brothers). Then she finds out that the girl he's talking about is a member of the evil Foot Clan, and [[ArmorPiercingSlap proceeds to show him her disapproval.]]

* PlayedForLaughs in Fanfic/FlyFree, where Sakura is convinced that [[Manga/OnePiece Robin]] and [[Manga/Naruto Kakashi]] are meant for each other. Other characters, including Ino, Naruto, and Sasuke are convinced by the 'proof' that Sakura shows them.

** King/Ryo Sakazaki: Ryo's sister Yuri, his father Takuma and his best friend Robert Garcia are ''very'' blatant in their support. (To very silly degrees in ''XI'') Takuma's own share of support might be going to the "IWantGrandkids" extreme; makes sense, since Ryo is the eldest son of the family and already in his mid 20's (ComicBookTime be damned).
** Sie Kensou/Athena Asamiya: The earliest shipper is the aforementioned Robert Garcia, since his ''2001'' win quote against Kensou has him say "Hey, let me know what's up with you and that girl!". By ''XIII'' Yuri and King have eagerly joined in.

** Negi/Konoka: The cheerleading team girls (Misa, Madoka Sakurako), after [[DatePeepers seeing them shopping together]], though they were overridden by Ayaka.

In one of [[spoiler: Kotonoha]]'s routes, a bunch of girls ([[spoiler: Nanami, Hikari, Otome and Otome's GirlPosse]]) decide tht Makoto is better off with the aforementioned girl's love rival [[spoiler: Sekai (also a friend of them)]]. What will they do to make sure Makoto will "choose the right girl"? Treat the "girl in between '''like utter shit'''! [[spoiler: Nanami and Hikari verbally threaten Koto at first, then help Otome and Co.'s already present bullying of her via [[MaliciousSlander spreading rumors about]] [[ReallyGetsAround Koto beind a slutty "phromone girl"]], and then they tip off the GirlPosse so they can destroy a lunch that [[LethalChef Kotonoha]] made with lots of effort for him.]]

** And by ''Cold Days'' Thomas gets just as frustrated at Harry for not immediately seeking out Murphy upon his return to Chicago as he does for Harry not going to see [[spoiler: Maggie, his ''daughter'']].

* PeterLorre convinced HumphreyBogart to marry LaurenBacall.

* There is a scene in the ''YuGiOh'' manga where Mai Kujaku is seen actively setting up Yuugi Mutou and Anzu Mazaki. Later, just before Battle City starts up Mai pointedly teases Anzu when it looks like she's on a date with Yuugi. It's not really, but it's the thought that counts.

*** Karkat also seems to really ship [[ScrewYourself Jade/Jadesprite]] a [[YuriFanboy whole lot]], seeing them kissing in an ImagineSpot, and then making repeated and increasingly outrageous {{Freudian Slip}}s when describing their relationship to John.

** Meulin goes beyond even Nepeta's levels of shipping obsession, especially since she's a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] version of Nepeta in general.
