* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_aXzEWbHbY "Star Takes Over" trailer]] for the second half of season 2 shows Star and Marco apparently [[https://i.redd.it/8rnhsueezecy.png nearing each other for a kiss during a concert]] (or at the very least, getting ''very'' close while singing a duet). And the synopsis for the episodes implies that it's ''Jackie'' who feels like a ThirdWheel with Marco and Star, despite the fact that Jackie is the one currently dating Marco.
* During the episode "Just Friends" [[spoiler: Star gets jealous when seeing Marco and Jackie together when all three go to see a concert. The band plays a song 'Just Friends', and rather interestingly, Marco and Star both say it's their 'second favourite song', while Jackie says it's her 'favourite song'. And Marco and Star mime most of the song to each other, with Star only being left out at the end when Marco turns to sing with Jackie.]]

* It didn't take long (read: several months ''before the show even premiered'') for fans of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' to ship the main characters, Star Butterfly and Marco, even though they start out interested in other characters (Marco in skater-girl Jackie-Lynn Thomas, Star in DreadfulMusician Oskar Greason).
* "Starco" got a little more support in the episode "Mewberty", when the eponymous condition makes Star go boy-crazy, and she comes to the realization "Marco's a boy..."
* It got even more support in "Blood Moon Ball", where Marco and Star dance beneath the light of the eponymous Blood Moon, which is supposed to bind the destinies of two souls together for life.
* The show apparently lives and breathes on this trope, as fans have noted Star and Marco are awfully comfortable touching each other in season 2, and hug about once an episode.
* In "My New Wand!", Marco gets locked in Star's closet with her malfunctioning magic wand, and stumbles upon an entry in her diary on "My Thoughts on Marco". Before he can read the whole thing, the incident inspires Star to finally "dip down" and magically unlock the closet without use of her wand. While [[FreezeFrameBonus freeze-framing to see the text]] shows half a page with absolutely nothing that Star should feel any pressing need to prevent Marco from reading, that makes it even ''more'' of a tease since there's obviously something further down and/or on the next page that she ''really'' didn't want him to see.
* Zig-zagged in "Mr. Candle Cares". Star tells the eponymous guidance counselor that Marco is just a friend, and Mr. Candle reports to [[PsychoExBoyfriend Tom]] that "[[PortmanteauCoupleName Starco]] is strictly platonic". At the end, however, when Star and Marco hug, one of Tom's demon minions quips "Point: Marco."
* In "Star vs. Echo Creek", Marco was apparently the one putting up the "Missing" posters with Star's face on them after she runs away, and he's waiting at the police station for her when she finally turns herself in.
* In "Wand to Wand", Star is finally able to use her wand properly again in order to protect Marco.
* In "Camping Trip", Star and Marco are looking forward to spending some time by themselves on a camping trip. They're also apparently close enough that Star's dad assumes Marco is her boyfriend. However, the same episode also has Marco stating that he is NOT Star's boyfriend...[[ShippingGoggles which some fans]] [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend STILL interpret as]] ShipTease.
* "Starsitting" is full of this, from Marco pulling Star's face close to his to the two [[SleepCute falling asleep next to each other]] at the end. Not to mention the basic premise of the episode being that Star and Marco act as temporary "parents" to Buff Frog's babies.
* "Game of Flags" has Star bring Marco to her family reunion, and in the titular game (a competition between her mother's family and her father's) she decides that she and Marco will compete separately from both groups as if they were a third family in the game. While it surely didn't occur to Star, that would only make sense if Marco were her husband.
* "Sleepover" pretty much tops all of these, teasing at least two ships in one episode. A magical game of "Truth or Punishment" forces Marco to confess about his crush on Jackie. Not only is she okay with this revelation, but she seems to be reevaluating how she feels about Marco as well. The game then accuses Star of lying when she claims that her crush is Oskar Greason. While Star manages to talk her way out of telling the whole truth, the episode ends with Star [[FullNameUltimatum shouting out Marco's name in frustration]] when he tries to go back to bed, causing the busted game to briefly spring back to life and blurt out "TRUTH! [[KilledMidSentence Star Butterfly has a crush on...]]" before being crushed by the garbage truck.
* "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown" has Marco go on a date with Jackie, while Star [[GreenEyedMonster gets increasingly jealous]]. When she uses magic to spy on them, the wand reacts to her jealousy by trying to sabotage them with a shocked Star seemingly realizing why she's jealous. Later, Marco starts to kiss Jackie...then suddenly pulls away thinking of Star and [[CallBack sees a vision of the Blood Moon, triggered by his soul being bound to Star's]].

* Star's diary has a section titled "My thoughts on Marco"; preventing Marco from reading it motivates her enough to "dip down".
* Star's dad thinks Marco is her boyfriend in "Camping Trip".
* "Sleepover" implied that Star has a crush on Marco, which was eventually confirmed in "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown".

!! Marco and Jackie
Marco has a crush on Jackie, and makes some progress with her through the series:
* In "Freeze Day", they exchange hellos for the first time.
* In "Interdimensional Field Trip", he sits next to her on the bus and manages to strike up a conversation.
* In "Sleepover", he is forced to reveal his crush, and wonders aloud about the nature of his feelings, saying that he feels Jackie deserves someone who would get to know her. She appears touched by his words, and later admits she no longer knows who she's crushing on (having answered "cute guy from skate camp" earlier). Come morning, she smiles at Marco and says she'll see him at school before skating off into the sunrise.
* In "Naysaya", Marco is plagued by the titular curse, which blurts out his insecurities when he tries to ask out Jackie. He ends up revealing it to Jackie and telling her all his insecurities himself. After, he asks her to the movies, and she accepts. In the final scene at the theatre, she clings to his arm as a horror scene comes on.
* In "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", [[spoiler: they go to the school dance together and end up ditching it to go on a date. She reassures him about his insecurities and teaches him to skateboard, holding his arms up in a Titanic-like pose and invoking his trust. They end up sharing a kiss.]]

!! Marco and Janna
Janna often acts flirtatiously toward Marco:
* In "Mewberty", she [[AffectionatePickpocket gets close to pickpocket him]] while suggesting that they "make some magic" with the spellbook.
* In "Interdimensional Field Trip", she pulls a prank on him with fake vampire teeth, then tells him they're not real, "unless you want them to be."
* In "Sleepover", she suggestively says "I think we all know who ''I'' have a crush on, don't we Marco?" [[BaitAndSwitch before answering]] "Creator/JohnKeats."
* "Gift of the Card" reveals that she has all his personal information.
* In "Naysaya", she has a secret compartment for some personal items in the back of ''Marco's'' locker, and after he asks out Jackie, tells him "You know who to call when you get divorced, Marco."
* In "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown", she slaps his butt after he gets cologne on it and comments that it smells nice.
