9	----
10
11	* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' has a canon love interest in Penny to the point of them becoming an OfficialCouple but this doesn't stop people shipping him with Carrie, Tina Rex, Jamie, Teri, Carmen, Rachel, Molly, Sarah G. Lato, his ''adopted brother'' Darwin who fell in love with him when he thought Gumball was a girl, his ''mother'' Nicole, his ''father'' Richard, and his ''little sister'' Anais!
12	* The ''Franchise/{{Avatar\|The Last Airbender}}'' universe:
13	** ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
14	*** Katara was the original LauncherOfAThousandShips. Think of any character that has ever appeared in the series (yes, ''including'' [[BrotherSisterIncest Sokka]] and [[ParentalIncest Hakoda]]), and Katara has been shipped with them. May be due to Katara [[TheSmurfettePrinciple being the only female character for a whole season]]. Satirized expertly [[http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs13/f/2007/030/c/8/Save_our_Kataras_by_alexds1.jpg here]].
15	*** [[http://sylvacoer.deviantart.com/art/Zu-ships-OF-D00M-63564095 She is not alone]]. In some circles, Zuko's even more of a LauncherOfAThousandShips than Katara. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Zutara is so [[FanPreferredCouple popular]] in the fandom?
16	*** Zuko's sister Azula gets shipped with everyone she's ever met, as well as many she hasn't. The most common seem to be with [[LesYay Ty Lee, Mai]], [[BrotherSisterIncest Zuko]], [[FoeYayShipping Sokka]], [[PrisonRape Suki]] and Zhao, but there are many, many more. The idea of Azula [[MindGameShip having her way]] with [[DepravedBisexual both sides]] of the Sokka/Suki pairing (sometimes simultaneously) is also fairly common.
17	*** Sokka, Fandom Pimp. Forget water or firebending, he's the ''pheromone'' bender. He has the benefit of the most in-universe romances -- he's {{Official Couple}}s with [[HeroicSacrifice Yue]] and [[SecondLove Suki]], an [[{{Starboarding}} infatuation]] of [[GenkiGirl Ty Lee]]'s, [[{{Tomboy}} Toph]] crushes on him to the point that she [[AccidentalKiss Accidentally Kisses]] ''Suki'' thinking she's him, and arguably has tension with [[PsychoElectro Azula]]. He also briefly dated Kaya, a girl from the Earth Kingdom in the canon comic, "Sokka the Avatar."
18	%%*** Aang. [[UnusualEuphemism He's the master of all your elements]].
19	*** Platform/DeviantArt user Mutenroushi points out in "[[http://mutenroushi.deviantart.com/art/Water-Tribe-Charm-73792602 Water Tribe Charm]]" how popular Katara and Sokka are.
20	** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
21	*** Fanart made the titular character this before the show even premiered. The fact that [[spoiler:she is canonically bi ended up helping a lot.]]
22	*** Iroh II, upon having ''one line at the very end'' of an episode, was shipped with every character imaginable ''in a matter of days''.
23	*** Opal Beifong quickly joined the list soon after her introduction. Fanart often depicts her with other girls, usually with either Korra, or ([[AgeLift aged up]]) Jinora. But there's still plenty of art pairing her with her canonical boyfriend, Bolin.
24	*** Jinora herself. Like Opal, she's almost always paired with other girls, with Opal and Korra being the main two candidates. But she's also been paired with: her kid sister (Ikki), their kid brother (Meelo), their mom (Penma), Bolin, Asami, and [[spoiler: her grandmother, Katara]]![[note]]as her 14 year old self, not the elderly version[[/note]]
25	* ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} from ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''. Fans don't have trouble imagining him with ComicBook/BlackWidow, Mockingbird, [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], ComicBook/BlackPanther, or even Bruce Banner. Of those five, [[spoiler: Black Widow]] became the first to steal a kiss from Hawkeye.
26	* This trope is {{discussed\|Trope}} in the ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'' episode "[[Recap/BigHero6TheSeriesS1E14FanFriction Fan Friction]]" (the OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs episode, in case you couldn't tell from [[PunBasedTitle the title]]). [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Fred]] has created a number of {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}s for the team, but they all mostly involve [[CowardlyLion Wasabi]] because Fred thinks he'll be popular with the fanfic writers since he's [[BlatantLies just so cool]]. More realistically, [[TeenGenius Hiro]] is the series' launcher, being the main character and given he's part of a team with five other people.
27	* On ''WesternAnimation/CleopatraInSpace'' , Cleopatra is this. She's been shipped with Zaid (her canon crush), Akila (who she has tons of LesYay with), Brian (because of OppositesAttract) Yosira, (similar to Akila), and Callie (enemies-turned-friends).
28	* Every possible combination of ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' characters exists somewhere in the fandom, though the biggest ship magnets always seem to persister as Abe, Joan, and JFK.
29	** Abe has been shipped with [[UnresolvedSexualTension Joan]], [[OfficialCouple Cleo]], [[HoYay JFK]], [[HeterosexualLifePartners Gandhi]], [[AsianAndNerdy Confucius]], [[FoeYayShipping Topher]], [[OfficialCouple Mary]], and even [[{{Squick}} Mrs. Grumbles]].
30	** Joan has been shipped with [[TheEveryman Abe]], [[DumbJock JFK]], [[LonelyRichKid Confucius]], [[FoeYayShipping Cleo]], [[PaedoHunt Mr. Butlertron]], [[TheWoobie Van Gogh]], [[PalsWithJesus Jesus Cristo]], [[CrazyHomelessPeople Mandy Moore]], and [[TheAggressiveDrugDealer The Pusher]].
31	** JFK has been shipped with [[AlphaBitch Cleo]], [[PerkyGoth Joan]], [[FoeYayShipping Abe]], [[HoYay Confucius]], [[OfficialCouple Harriet]], [[PluckyComicRelief Gandhi]], [[OppositesAttract Topher]], [[DumbBlonde Catherine]], [[EmoTeen Van Gogh]], [[{{Polyamory}} The Bronte Sisters]], [[ILoveTheDead Ponce de Leon]], and [[ScrewYourself himself]]. That he's an [[ExtremeOmnisexual anything that moves]]-type guy helps make the weird ships seem a lot more plausible.
32	** Principal Scudworth has also garnered a bunch of crazy ships himself with Mr. Butlertron, Candide, Skunky-Poo, Mrs. Grumbles, [[{{Polyamory}} The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures]], and Sandra Sandria.
33	* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
34	** Numbuh 1 easily has the most ships to his name. He has been shipped with ''all of his teammates'' (although Numbuh 5 is the most popular), Numbuh 86, Lizzie, Numbuh 362, Katie (the long-haired brunette from U.T.O.P.I.A.) Chad, Numbuh 60, Father(!) and even The Delightful Children!
35	** Numbuh 5 is perhaps second only to Numbuh 1. The list includes Numbuh 1 himself, Numbuhs [[OfficialCouple 2]], 3 and 4, Heinrich/Henrietta, Maurice, [[IncestYay Cree(!)]] and Valerie.
36	** Numbuh 362 isn't much farther behind. Beyond Numbuh 1 (again), she has been shipped with Numbuh 60, Numbuh 86, and Chad.
37	* Danny from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has been paired with not only almost every single character in the show ([[OfficialCouple Sam]], [[DatingCatwoman Valerie]], [[FoeYayShipping Vlad, Ember]], [[HoYay Dash, Tucker]], etc.), but even [[CargoShip with inanimate items]]: Danny/Fenton Thermos anyone? He's paired with characters that don't even ''exist'', and background characters whose names and personalities were invented by fans (such as [[MemeticBystander Wes Weston]]). He even gets shipped ''[[ScrewYourself with himself]], multiple times over''. [[note]]Haunted Past (present Danny/[[FutureMeScaresMe evil future Danny]]) and Pitch Pearl (present Danny's ghost half/present Danny's human half, typically either in an AlternateUniverseFic where they're different people or split via the Fenton Ghost Catcher). The latter even has two named variants -- Heroic Amusement, wherin the two halves act the same as they did in the episode "Identity Crisis", and Red Pearl, where Danny's ghost half [[BrainwashedAndCrazy is being controlled by Freakshow]].[[/note]] Crossovers also sometimes occur, such as ones pairing him with WesternAnimation/KimPossible, [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Starfire]] and even [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong Jake Long]]. Apparently, he's just ''that'' compatible.
38	* Xandir from ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''. More often than not, he's paired with Captain Hero, but ships with each of the other male characters are not uncommon. In fact, despite him being firmly identified as homosexual, he's often paired in fanfics with the show's ''female'' characters.
39	** ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' can be summed up as Everyone X Everyone.
40	* ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'':
41	** Webby, thanks to having a much more likeable personality than her '87 counterpart, ended up quite popular and shipped with Lena, Violet, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Lena AND Violet]], a RecurringExtra that looks an awful lot like Roxanne from ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', and all three of the triplets (though those latter pairings have more or less [[AbandonShipping been abandoned]] with the reveal that [[spoiler:Webby is an OppositeSexClone of Scrooge, making any Webby/Triplet pairing technically incestuous]]).
42	** Donald also gets paired up a lot, not only with his canon love interest Daisy, but Gabby, Beakley, and even Magica. Pairing him with [[WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros his fellow Caballeros]] or Storkules is also popular.
43	** Launchpad has his share of ships: Della, Gyro, Lord Dominator, and Fenton are popular, along with the already popular pairing of him and WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck from the series of the same name. It really doesn't hurt that WordOfGod says that Launchpad a) ReallyGetsAround and b) has a tendency to be AmicableExes with his exes.
44	** Della herself also gets a lot of ships: Launchpad, as mentioned before, Magica, Selene, Gyro, Poe, Penumbra, and even Don Karnage have been paired with her. Showrunner Frank Angones also joked that she hooked up with Mickey Mouse once and that's how the triplets happened but that pairing never caught on.
45	** Scrooge is no slouch in this department either, as he's been paired with Goldie, Fenton, Gyro, Flintheart, Duckworth, Beakley, and Magica.
46	* [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D]]. Though usually shipped with either [[StalkerWithACrush Marie]], Kevin, or [[SmallNameBigEgo Eddy]], he's been shipped with the vast majority of the cast at least once. Yes, even [[spoiler: [[{{Squick}} Eddy's Brother.]]]]
47	** Nazz has a bit of this too. Gets shipped with Kevin, Edd, Eddy, [[LesYay Sarah, and Marie]].
48	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Norm the Genie seems to have started becoming this. Well, he has got paired with a lot of Original Characters, which are either [[MarsNeedsWomen human]] or genies. An idea that ships him with Wanda has been mentioned on a TV.com messageboard. There is a discussion on [=FanFiction.Net=] about whether he's better with Crocker or Imaginary Gary. Also, about him and Princess [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Man]][[{{Yandere}} DIE]]. He has even been paired with Head Pixie.
49	** Both Cosmo and Anti-Cosmo seem to get a lot of this too, even with both of them being happily married in the show.
50	** Timmy Turner...
51	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'': Molly [=McGee=] is by far the most shipped character in the show, being shipped with [[HoYayShipping Libby, Andrea, Tammy Myers]], [[OfficialCouple Oliver/Ollie]] and yes, even [[{{Squick}} Scratch]].
52	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
53	** Dipper has been shipped with Wendy, Candy, Mabel, Grunkle Stan, Soos, Gideon, Robbie, Giffany, Pacifica, Tyrone, and even with ''Bill Cipher'', an EldritchAbomination. This reached the point in which the CrossoverShip between Dipper and Wirt from ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'' is actually quite popular. It's called Pinescone. Sometimes, Norman from ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'' shows up too.
54	** With a few exceptions, anyone who Dipper is shipped with, Mabel is as well. In addition, she also has a few of her own such as with Mermando.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'':
56	** Alastor is shipped with ''every'' and ''any'' character, including Angel Dust, Charlie, Vaggie, Husk, Lucifer, Vox, Rosie, Niffty, Mimzy, Sir Pentious, Valentino, Emily, Adam, Lilith, Velvette, and Zestial.
57	*** Poly ships involving Alastor include Alastor/Charlie/Vaggie; Lucifer/Lilith/Alastor; Alastor/Lucifer/Angel Dust; Alastor/Lucifer/Vox; Alastor/Angel Dust/Velvette; Alastor/Husk/Angel Dust; Alastor/Vox/Valentino; Vox/Alastor/Angel Dust; and Vox/Alastor/Rosie, among others.
58	*** Alastor is so popular that he is even shipped with characters from other franchises, such as Bill Cipher from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', Black Hat from ''[[WesternAnimation/VillainousCartoonNetwork Villainous]]'', Lilith Clawthorne from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', and Squidward Tentacles from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', among others. Alastor is also sometimes included in crossover poly ships.
59	*** Lastly, Alastor is also often a subject of SelfFanservice, with many fans creating original characters or reader self-inserts to ship him with. This is especially popular on {{Platform/Tumblr}}.
60	** Charlie Morningstar is shipped with many characters in the show, including Vaggie, her canon girlfriend; Alastor; Angel Dust; Husk; Adam; Rosie; Sir Pentious; Emily; and even Lucifer, her own father.
61	*** Charlie also sometimes appears in poly ships, with Charlie/Vaggie/Alastor (Chaggistor) and Charlie/Vaggie/Emily (Chaggily) being the most popular.
62	* Jade Chan from ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''. Considering she's the only regular female character, she was bound to fill this role.
63	* Stormer from ''WesternAnimation/JemAndTheHolograms'' is the most shipped character by far. She's usually shipped with Roxy or [[PseudoRomanticFriendship Kimber]] however she's also been shipped with Clash, Jetta, Pizzazz, even Eric, and random {{Original Character}}s.
64	* ComicBook/TheFlash from the [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse animated version]] of the WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague gets this, though granted [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Bat]][[ComicBook/TheFlash Flash]] is one of the most popular, he's also been paired with ComicBook/GreenLantern, ComicBook/WonderWoman, ComicBook/MartianManhunter, ComicBook/{{Superman}}, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, ComicBook/LexLuthor (though generally not reciprocating any feelings), the [=Lords!Flash=] (even though he's, ya know, [[spoiler:dead]], Fire, Linda Park, ComicBook/SpiderMan...In fact, one of the ''only'' ones he doesn't really get paired with is Hawkgirl -- probably because canonically they're "LikeBrotherAndSister".
65	** Scratch that, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/comic/Justice_League/10/2/0/1/0/3976/5737/0/0/1/0/ he does get paired with her]], though not often. Whether this counts as IncestYayShipping is ''completely'' up to the viewer.
66	* There can't be many other characters that ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (And to a lesser extent her EvilCounterpart Shego) ''isn't'' [[{{Shipping}} shipped]] with. [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Ron]], [[SassyBlackWoman Monique]], [[MissionControl Wade]], [[DisabilitySuperpower Felix]], [[DieForOurShip Mankey]], [[BigManOnCampus Brick]], [[AlphaBitch Bonnie]], [[AllGuysWantCheerleaders Tara]], [[ParentalIncest James, Anne]], [[SternTeacher Mr. Barkin]], [[ScienceFair Justine Flanner]], [[TagTeamTwins The]] [[BrotherSisterIncest Tweebs]], [[BurgerFool Ned]], [[UglyGuyHotWife Ron's Dad]], Ron's Mom, [[FoeYayShipping Drakken]], Monkey Fist, [[AmbiguouslyGay Sr. Sr. Junior]], [[LegoGenetics DN-Amy]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} Killigan]], [[HotTeacher Miss]] [[SplitPersonality Go]], [[BadassFamily all of Team Go]], [[DistaffCounterpart Will Du]], [[YamatoNadeshiko Yori]], and finally [[EyepatchOfPower Dr. Director]]. Oh, [[LesYay and Kim with Shego?]] Just a [[FanPreferredCouple little]].
67	* Lincoln Loud of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has been shipped with his former classmate Cristina (on which he has or had an unrequited crush), his other classmate Ronnie Anne (actually having feelings for each other helps), the four girls from "Dance Dance Resolution" (all of whom he was set up with on a blind date at the same time), Girl Jordan, Stella, Mollie, Paige, Sid Chang, Sam Sharp, his best friend Clyde, [[CrossoverShip girls from other shows]] such as WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}, [[WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss Loona]] and [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Katie]], and most famously (or infamously depending on one's personal stance), [[IncestYayShipping all ten of his sisters]]. Yes, even his baby sister Lily. That's not even bringing his sisters' [[Rule63 male counterparts]] or his own [[ScrewYourself female counterpart Linka]] into the equation. Hey, it's in the ThemeSong: "One boy and ten girls, wouldn't trade it for the world!"
68	* According to {{fanon}}, this is [[WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolbus Arnold's]] job, as he has a habit of being shipped with EVERYONE. Seriously, EVERYONE. Even ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Az]][[CrackShip u]][[CrossoverShip la]].'' Yay Arnold?
69	* Look at the DVD cover for ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}''. He has slept with all of them. [[ScrewYourself Including himself]].
70	* In a rather odd occurrence, ''everyone'' on ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' tends to be shipped with everyone ''else'', making them ''all'' the FandomBicycle. Though it doesn't hurt that the {{Fandom}} is relatively laid back when it comes to shipping.
71	* Mr. Quiet, Mr. Grumpy and Miss Chatterbox from ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' have each been paired with more then a few characters. Miss Calamity's been paired with a lot of characters. Besides Mr. Bump, she's been paired with Mr. Strong, Mr. Happy, Mr. Tickle, Mr. Quiet, and Mr. Scatterbrain.
72	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'': Jenny gets quite a bit of play in the fandom, having been shipped with Brad, Sheldon, Misty, Vega, the Crust Cousins and even ''Vexus''. And that's just in the show itself, as she's quite popular with crossover shipping as well.
73	* Rainbow Dash from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has been paired up with everyone, [[KitchenSinkIncluded including]] [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/21647/...But-the-Kitchen-Sink the kitchen sink]] and [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3711/Special-Delivery shipping itself]]!
74	** Here is [[http://ciscoql.deviantart.com/art/Ship-png-296471905 a shipping chart]]. Note that the four most common pairings all involve Rainbow Dash. And they point to her like an arrow.
75	** Twilight Sparkle also qualifies. In fact it's entirely possible that this trope fits Twilight more than Rainbow Dash! A lot of pics are drawn and a lot of fanfics are written involving Rainbow Dash pairings, but Twilight may possibly have more actual pairings.
76	*** Statistically, she only barely made this trope with 1,008 pairings as of April 17, 2013. Rainbow Dash has 1,291. Twilight and Fluttershy tie at 43 for number of unique ships. Dash has a mere 40. [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/10F6Zsc9BxmKeHpxQWfEoP8EE7CdnKLETSyOROau6TN4/edit]]
77	** Equestria Daily has actually graphed the shipping fanfics it's received on two separate occasions. Dash is currently winning on ''quantity'', while Twilight is winning on ''variety'', having been shipped with every one of her friends, [[ScrewYourself herself (twice)]], her ParentalSubstitute and mentor Celestia, Big Macintosh, Spike, Luna, Derpy, Trixie, a huge variety of OC's, and on her more "open-minded" days several ''crossover characters''.
78	*** There's even a deviantArt group of fans of [=MordeTwi=] (Twilight x Mordecai from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''.)
79	*** Originally an art commission for a fanfic, [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spidertwi]] has taken off with enough uncommissioned artists to get a Derpibooru tag.
80	** Rainbow Dash shipping is so common that on, Platform/FimfictionDotNet, the dedicated MLP fanfiction site, one user, Jake Roberts, tried to coin "Roberts' Razor" which ran: "If a pony exists in MLP, there are at least three stories shipping them with Rainbow Dash." This fell apart when two other users brought up ponies that Rainbow hadn't been shipped with,[[note]]For the curious, Fleur de Lis and Celestia[[/note]] but the thought still stands.
81	** As for colts, Big Macintosh seems to be one of the only males the fandom will touch, so he gets shipped with just about everypony at some point... including [[BrotherSisterIncest Applejack]]... and ''[[{{Squick}} Apple Bloom]]''!
82	*** Soarin is the closest thing to a pegasus equivalent to Big Macintosh (though to a lesser degree), being paired up frequently with Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spitfire, and miscellaneous background ponies (but not to the same degree of Big Macintosh). Fancy Pants is the most popular Unicorn bachelor, although he's usually only shipped with Rarity and Fleur De Lis.
83	*** Caramel is the second most shipped stallion next to Big Macintosh. He's been shipped with everypony in Equestria, and we mean ''every''pony. Particularly impressive since he's a background character.
84	*** Braeburn is Big Mac for the [[SlashFic slash]] fans. Everypony is gay for Braeburn. Yes, even the mares. No, this doesn't work.
85	*** Thunderlane may have beaten Soarin' for most shipped pegasus stallion. He's been shipped with all of the members of the Mane 6, with Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity (''especially'' after some ShipTease in "Wonderbolts Academy"), and Rainbow being the most popular ones. And then there's Spitfire, Soarin' (the fact that he canonically becomes a Wonderbolt later on has only helped this), Cloudchaser, Flitter (and [[OneTrueThreesome often both at once]]), Blossomforth, Derpy, Lyra, Gilda, Lightning Dust, and several other supporting and background ponies from the show.
86	** Because he's the only male main character, Spike is slowly becoming this. He's been paired with each of the Mane 6 at least once, plus the Cutie Mark Crusaders, both Princesses, Little Strongheart, and even [[SlashFic Big Macintosh]].
87	** He doesn't suffer from this as the aforementioned characters, but [[RealityWarper Discord]] has a surprising number of characters he's been shipped with. Most of the time he's shipped with either [[FoeYayShipping Celestia]], [[MindGameShip Twilight Sparkle]], [[BirdsOfAFeather or Pinkie Pie.]] However, he's also been shipped with [[UnholyMatrimony Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon]], Luna, [[AngelDevilShipping Fluttershy]], and even [[OneSceneWonder Steven]] [[CrackPairing Magnet]]. Then again, seeing as how all of Discord's interactions with other characters seem to radiate tension, it actually makes some sense that he'd be shipped so much.
88	** The fans seem to like shipping within the Mane 6. If one of the Mane 6 is in a shipping story, it's probably with ([[OneTrueThreesome at least]]) one of the other 5.
89	** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' added Sunset Shimmer, who got shipped with Twilight Sparkle and the alternate universe's Applejack and Rarity, and her ex-boyfriend Flash Sentry. ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' got her shipped with the rest of the alternate Mane Six, but also got her shipped with the Dazzlings. ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'' added alternate universe Twilight Sparkle to Sunset's pile, the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight Mirror Magic]]'' special threw Starlight Glimmer into the mix, and the release of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship Forgotten Friendship]]'' added Trixie and Wallflower Blush. The fact that WordOfGod [[https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/sunset-shimmer-is-bi-according-to-k.html revealed]] near the end of the series that Sunset is canonically bisexual is sure to have this continue.
90	* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'': Despite the series just being [[ShortRunners ten episodes long]], Wirt has had [[ShipTease Ship Teases]] with three different girls in that short a time: Beatrice, a bluebird ([[spoiler:who's actually a cursed human]]) who helps them on their way home, GirlOfTheWeek Lorna and [[spoiler: GirlNextDoor Sara from his hometown]]. In addition to this, parts of fandom will also ship him with [[HoYay Jason]], [[CrossoverShip Dipper Pines]] and even ''[[FoeYayShipping the Beast himself]]''.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'':
92	** Hunter is a very popular character in terms of shipping, as he remains a very sympathetic character and the fandom more or less just wants him to be happy. He is often shipped with either one of the Blight twins, Luz, Willow, Skara, and even [[IncompatibleOrientation Amity]].
93	*** His voice actor, Zeno Robinson, is [[https://twitter.com/childishgamzeno/status/1503163313806471168 very aware of this]], and [[TeasingCreator enjoys messing with the shippers]].
94	** Speaking of the Blight twins, both Edric and Emira are often shipped with many school-age characters, mostly same-sex.
95	** Luz to a lesser extent, being the main character and all. She is often shipped with [[OfficialCouple Amity]], Willow, and Hunter. There are some who even ship her with [[FoeYayShipping Boscha]].
96	* King Julien from ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' has been shipped with nearly the entire rest of the cast: Maurice, Mort and all four penguins. On the flip side, he ''did'' show interest in the sole leading female, Marlene the otter.
97	** All Hail King Julien adds another fleet with Clover, Karl and Crimson.
98	* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
99	** Ferb gets paired with '''everyone.''' [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Vanessa]] (his canonical PrecociousCrush), [[TheHeart Isabella]] ({{Ship Tease}}d), [[{{Meganekko}} Gretchen]] (ShipsThatPassInTheNight), ''[[CheerfulChild Phineas]] and [[AntiHero Candace]] ([[NotBloodSiblings his step-siblings]])'' plus about a hundred [=OCs=] (though [[http://pffanon.wikia.com/wiki/Emily_Kinney this one]] is the most popular) and probably every other citizen in [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Danville]]. He's also been paired with half of the Fireside Girls (excluding Milly, Katie, and Ginger, in most cases).
100	** Baljeet, but oddly enough, the majority of his are ''actually canon'''; in fact, the only non-canon ship of his is with Isabella. But even then, [[ShipTease they have their moments]].
101	** Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. The obvious [[FoeYayShipping Perry]] aside, he dated several women on the show. Even ignoring the canon, he has several {{Fan Girl}}s and {{Original Character}}s after him.
102	** Candace, aside from her canon relathionship with Jeremy, with many [[LesYay female characters]] in the show: Stacy (her best friend), Jenny (her other friend), Vanessa, Isabella (her brother's girlfriend), and Dana.
103	* Not only is Chuckie Finster from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' a big example of this in the fandom, he is also a pretty good example of this in the show. He has had some ShipTease moments with Lil, Susie and Angelica along with a slightly more than occasional one-shot female character. Tommy Pickles did make an effort to catch up with him in the show (even though it was mainly in ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'') but Chuckie Finster is still probably one of the more known cases of this in Nickelodean history.
104	* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Quick quiz for characters. Are you a female character with a name and consistent voice actress? Are you not already spoken for? Congratulations, you've almost certainly been shipped with Adora. If you answered no to the first question, but you're Bow, [[IncompatibleOrientation you've also been shipped with Adora]]. [[OneTrueThreesome Sometimes the ship will involve other people too, but Adora will be constant.]]
105	* Kyle from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is paired with everybody.
106	** Kenny is paired with...anything that lives.
107	** Cartman's no slouch in the LauncherOfAThousandShips department either. Considering the sheer amount of HoYay he generates in the show it isn't surprising.
108	** There is Craig/Tweek, Craig/Stan, Craig/Kyle, Craig/Kenny, Craig/Cartman, Craig/Clyde, Craig/Wendy, Craig/Mark, Craig/Butters, etc. Lots and lots.
109	** On the female side, there is Bebe, who has been paired with Kyle, Clyde, Wendy, Craig, Kenny, Token, etc. Plus the fandom tends to characterize her as [[NeverLiveItDown "slutty"]]. Wendy's no slouch in the shipping department, either.
110	* Marco Diaz from ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' gets shipped with seemingly everyone: his best friend Star, his crush Jackie Lynn-Thomas, local bad girl Janna, Star's demonic ex-boyfriend Tom, Tad's ex-girlfriend Kelly...
111	** The creators of the show, [[TeasingCreator well known for teasing the fanbase]], seem to be both acknowledging and deliberately encouraging this trend by dedicating an entire episode ("Running With Scissors") to ShipTease between Marco and Hekapoo, a previously-minor character who he'd never even met before.
112	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' gave us Ahsoka. She's been paired at least with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme, Chuchi, Shaak Ti, Yoda, Barriss, Rex, Cad Bane, Boba Fett, Lux, Grievous, anyone. She must take after her grandmaster Obi-Wan, because he might be the only character paired off with more characters than her.
113	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Pearl, who's already had ShipTease moments with Garnet and Amethyst and of course her [[LadyAndKnight background]] with [[TheLostLenore Rose]], being widely shipped with every Gem introduced thus far (sans Steven) and occasionally some humans.
114	** Later on, [[{{Adorkable}} Peridot]]. While Amethyst/Peridot and Lapis/Peridot are most popular, Pearl/Peridot, Garnet/Peridot, Jasper/Peridot are also popular ships. Even Steven/Peridot has its supporters.
115	** Steven himself is no slouch in this department either. Despite having a canon LoveInterest in Connie, Steven has a condition many people refer to as "Main Character Syndrome", and thus has been shipped with every other character at least once, including the Crystal Gems, his adoptive mothers.
116	* Combined with LesYay, ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks''' Piper is paired with literally ''every'' female character she's interacted with, particularly Starling and [[FoeRomanceSubtext Master Cyclonis]], due to all the conversations being surprisingly intimate and flirtatious. She also has plenty of ShipTease with main protagonist, Aerrow.
117	* The Warden is this in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' fandom. He has literally been paired with almost EVERYONE or anyone in the series that fans may fancy. The main ships include: [[BrawnHilda Alice]] (his canonical [[UnrequitedLove unrequited crush]]), [[DistaffCounterpart the Mistress]] (his proclaimed arch-enemy that some wish he'd settle down with), [[UnequalPairing Jared]], [[FoeYayShipping Lord Stingray]], [[RoboShip Jailbot]] (whom, mind you, he sees as '''[[ParentalIncest a SON figure]]'''), some of the inmates (especially Jacknife, Ash [[note]]spurred on by the Season 3 finale[[/note]], Gary, etc.) and anyone else fans may think of. Hell, he's even been paired with [[ScrewYourself himself]] (or at least his future counterpart)! Needless to say, the competition of all the above options can cause much ShipToShipCombat. And then you add in [[CrossoverShip the]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012 Once-ler]], fans' own {{Original Character}}s, or the rare crack pairing with any minor characters other than the ones mentioned before [[note]]such as [[ChurchOfHappyology DL Diamond]], Charise or any other Ultraprison character, etc.[[/note]], and things get even more complicated to make sense of.
118	** Less frequently, he's paired off with [[CreepyTwins the Twins]], though it really doesn't help that people also pair them [[{{Twincest}} together]] or off with their own {{Original Character}}s.
119	** Lord Stingray has become second to the Warden in spawning multiple pairings. If he's not simply paired with the Warden as mentioned above, there's Mistress Kilda (his wife that Alice killed), the Mistress (whom he had a failed relationship with), Alice (due to both having slept with the Mistress), Jailbot, and ''any'' of the other inmates.
120	** The Mistress herself is a comparatively minor example so far. If not paired with the Warden, Alice, or Stingray, fans will settle for having her paired off with Charise or another member of her staff (less commonly Bruce, rarely Nova).
121	* ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' has Nova. She has sizable shipping fanbases with every single member of the team, Chiro included. Plus the crack.
122	* Raven in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', commonly seen shipped with Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Red X, Starfire, Terra, Slade, or others.
123	** Raven/Everyone is hilariously parodied in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2364981/1/bEverybody_b_bLoves_b_bRaven_b this fanfiction]].
124	** Also, Robin, who is frequently shipped with Raven and Starfire, but also shipped commonly with Slade, Red X, Beast Boy, and most other guys in the series.
125	** To go a little further, he's the Launcher of a Thousand Ships for most if not all of the DC universe. See Nightwing in the Comic Book section.
126	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' has quite a few people in the cast that qualify. But, most noteworthy, there's:
127	** Bad-boy Duncan. He's paired up with [[{{Tsundere}} Courtney]] ([[OfficialCouple canon]] first season -> [[spoiler:FanPreferredCouple third season]]), [[PerkyGoth Gwen]] ([[ShipTease semi canon]] FanPreferredCouple first season ->[[spoiler:[[OfficialCouple canon]] third season]]), [[AlphaBitch Heather]] ([[ShipTease semi canon]]), [[SassyBlackWoman Leshawna]], [[GenkiGirl Izzy]], [[GranolaGirl Bridgette]], [[DumbBlonde Lindsay]], [[BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill Beth]], [[ApologisesALot Zoey]], [[FoeYayShipping Harold, Trent, Noah]], [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Justin]], even [[FlatCharacter Ezekiel]] and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Alejandro]].
128	** Bridgette's been paired with almost every male contestant on the show and some of the female ones too, including [[OfficialCouple Geoff]], [[FanPreferredCouple DJ, Ezekiel]], [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Tyler, Trent, Cody, Noah, Harold]], [[FoeYayShipping Duncan, Alejandro]], [[LesYay Gwen, Courtney, Lindsay, and Heather]]. And that's not even mentioning the fact that she seems to get shipped with more {{OC}}s than anyone else in the show.
129	** Cody also seems to fit with anyone (though Gwen, Sierra, and Noah are the most common), and his CasanovaWannabe status means that he can believably be paired with any of the female contestants, even the [[HollywoodHomely "appearance challenged"]] ones like Beth, Eva, and Sadie.
130	** Noah also fits in, he's paired with [[FanPreferredCouple Izzy, Heather, Katie]], [[HoYay Cody, Owen, Trent, Tyler]], [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Gwen, Beth, Ezekiel]], [[FoeYayShipping Alejandro, Justin, Duncan]], [[OppositesAttract Lindsay, Eva]], [[ShipTease Bridgette, Courtney]], and even [[MayDecemberRomance adults]] like [[BadBoss Chris]] and [[MrsRobinson Blaineley]]. Come ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'', it seems the writers acknowledged this sort of thing, as he is given a legitimate relationship with [[DefrostingIceQueen Emma]].
131	** Gwen. She's been paired with [[OfficialCouple Trent, Duncan]], [[FanPreferredCouple Cody]], [[ShipTease Cameron, Geoff]][[note]]in fact, she and Geoff [[WhatCouldHaveBeen were originally going to be a couple in the conceptual stages of the series]][[/note]], [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Noah, Ezekiel, Harold, Tyler, DJ]], [[FoeYayShipping Alejandro, Courtney, Heather, Sierra]], [[LesYay Bridgette, Zoey, Eva...]]
132	** Katie was the fandom's go-to character when they needed a seventh OfficialCouple formed from the original 22 during the series' early years, with Noah, DJ, Cody, Ezekiel, and Justin being the usual suspects. However, she also got her fair share of pairings with the other 6 boys who had canon girlfriends (especially Trent after his breakup with Gwen, due to her canon attraction to him), while her extreme closeness with her best friend Sadie has made them one of the fandom's most popular LesYay pairings.
133	** Dawn, due to being the biggest EnsembleDarkhorse in the fandom since Noah, gets paired with countless characters (including several she canonically dislikes or has never interacted with), including Scott, B, Cameron, Brick, Lightning, Noah, DJ, Cody, Trent, Duncan, Zoey, and Samey.
134	** Samey has been shipped with pretty much every male character and plenty of female characters as well, including DJ, Cody, Trent, Geoff, Brick, Shawn, Topher, Rodney, Dave, Beardo, Dawn, Jasmine, Sky, and Ella.
135	** Topher is shipped with almost every female character, most notably Samey and Ella.
136	** From the 2023 cast, Wayne is shipped with almost every member from the cast, most notably Julia. Other popular shipping options for Wayne include Nichelle, Emma, Raj (while many people [[AbandonShipping abandoned it]] in favour of the OfficialCouple Raj / Bowie, Wayne / Raj / Bowie is still a popular [[OneTrueThreesome polycule]]), the purple haired intern and even [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Damien]].
137	** Damien is slowly becoming this. He is significantly shipped with Priya and Scary Girl and to a lesser extent with Zee, Wayne, and Nichelle.
138	** Emma is this as well, mainly due to fans agreeing that she needs someone far better than Chase. On top of Wayne, she's also shipped with Zee, Axel, Priya and Caleb.
139	** Zee gets shipped a fair bit with characters like Chase, Damien, Emma, Scary Girl, Ripper and Priya, as well as his [[CargoShip own soda cans]].
140	* [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Starscream]]. All of them. This may be mildly connected to the fact that he's one of the more effeminate characters in a mostly male show in nearly every Transformers series.
141	** [[TheStoic Prowl]] seems to have reached this status in the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' fandom.
142	** On a lesser-known scale, [[PairTheSpares Team Rodimus member]] [[TheMedic Red Alert]] is paired with Brawn, Hot Shot, Perceptor, Wheeljack, Rodimus Prime, and Inferno (who barely even ''exists''). There are no doubt countless others.
143	** Arcee in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' is shipped with almost every Autobot and Decepticon in the show.
144	*** And a few of the humans, for that matter.
145	* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'':
146	** Riven is the most pair-able character in the whole show.
147	** Bloom has been shipped with almost every character in the show both good and evil.
148	* WesternAnimation/WordGirl. Let's see, who shall Becky (or [=WordGirl=]) be paired with today? [[OneSidedShipping Becky/Scoops]], [[VillainousCrush Becky/Tobey]], [[DatingCatwoman Becky/Two Brains]], [[NotBloodSiblings Becky/TJ]], [[LesYay Becky/Violet]], [[CrackPairing Becky/Chuck]], [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Becky/that one guy who's always trying to find the police station]]...and the list goes on.
149	* Jack Spicer from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' gets shipped with a lot of characters, including [[HoYay Chase]], [[FoeYayShipping Omi]], [[EnsembleDarkhorse Le Mime]], Wuya, Katnappe, Kimiko... and that's just the canon characters. There are also plenty of {{Original Character}}s he gets paired with, as well as a CrossoverShip with [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Princess Morbucks]]. It helps that he gets ShipTease (at least on his side) with [[AmbiguouslyBi both female and male characters]] and he's [[UnpopularPopularCharacter the most popular character]].
150	* '' WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' has Kitty and Rogue. Kitty has her canon pairing with Lance, but also gets shipped with Kurt, Pietro(!), Scott, Piotr, Dani Moonstar, and Rogue. While Rogue has her more common Scott and Gambit pairings, she also is paired with Lance, Pietro, Kitty, and even Wolverine despite the huge age difference in this universe. With these two, it's largely because they're the most popular characters in the show (along with the bellow mentioned Kurt); the female fans either identify with one of them, and the male fans tend to openly crush on them, especially Kitty (Well, the straight male/female fans), meaning they either get paired with whoever the girls personally like, or they get paired with who the boys identify with the most. The same is likely for Kurt bellow.
151	** Interestingly, Jean almost never ends up with anyone other than Scott. Scott/someone else fans generally ignore her or make her RonTheDeathEater. Thought, the occasional Jean/Lance fic and Jean/Logan fics still pop up now and again, so some people like her.
152	** Kurt himself has been shipped with everyone in the cast. Kitty, Wanda, Amanda, Jubilee, Amara, Rahne, Scott, Evan, Logan, Toad, Storm, Lance, and then there's the fact he gets the most fangirls, so there's millions of {{Original Character}}s. [[ChickMagnet Chicks really do dig the fuzzy dude]] (And [[EvenTheGuysWantHim apparently the dudes as well]]). Just say that if you have a name and one line of dialog, someone's going to ship you with Kurt.
153	* As with all other versions of him, Dick is still a shipping bicycle in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010''. This is despite him being thirteen and WordOfGod saying he'll have no romance. To the same extent, Conner (Superboy) is very popular with the shippers. [[LyingCreator But]], when ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} showed up that [[ShipTease blew the whole "no romance" thing]] out of the water, and [[WordOfGod Word Of]] [[Creator/GregWeisman A Higher God]] [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=13727 has]] [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=13818 suggested]] that the Dick/Barbara shippers may be onto something too.
154	** This is canon: Dick has been romantically linked with four different characters (Zatanna, Rocket, Batgirl, and Bette Kane) over the series' six-year time frame. Three of whom are his teammates. Throw in the non-canon pairings, like Dick/Wally and Dick/Artemis, and you've got yourself a fandom bicycle.
