The most popular and well-known aspect of this in The Owl House is Lumity, or the bond between Luz and Amity.

2021 September 10, Emma Tong, “Review of the second season of The Owl House”, in The Stute, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, page 10:

Fans wait eagerly for the next episode excited to see more Lumity and to see how the story will progress despite the shortened season.

Hayffie

Effie/Haymitch or 'Hayffie' has been comically acknowledged by the actress Elizabeth Banks, who plays Effie, […]

2014, Nicola Balkind, Fan Phenomena: The Hunger Games, page 142:

Near the end of the movie, it finally happens. As they're saying goodbye, Effie and Haymitch plant a big wet one on each other. Then, all of Panem probably rejoices. Hayffie (Haymitch + Effie) appears to be a thing.

2015 December 21, Bill Bradley, “Elizabeth Banks Drops A 'Hunger Games' Bombshell About Effie And Haymitch”, in HuffPost:

With a romantic relationship between these two characters not explored within the stories, there are many fan fiction writers who choose to create one, thus creating Hayffie fan fiction.

2016, Misty Nichole Horning, "Responding to the Storyworld of The Hunger Games through a Fan Fiction Fandom", thesis submitted to the University of New Mexico, page 105

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Haymitch Abernathy and Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games series.


Patrochilles

Mainly because I want to cry and see Patrochilles in all their glory!

2018, Nkiya Machona, quoted in Curiositales, September 2018, page 82

Perhaps even more problematically for the Patrochilles naysayers, is that this ambiguity throughout Homer's original epic is really not that ambiguous.

2021, Amelia Koen, "An Olive Pit, A Lyre, A Fig", Honi Soit (University of Sydney), Week 8, Semester 2 (2021), page 19

The Twitter account Incorrect Patrochilles Quotes has over 20,000 followers and is entirely devoted to The Song of Achilles.

2021, Sarah Leidich, "From Muse To Material: The Defiance Of Homeric Identity Through Creative Adaptation", Meliora, Volume 1, Issue 1 (link)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Patroclus and Achilles from the novel The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.


WAFFy

en-adj

WAFFy (comparative WAFFier, superlative WAFFiest)

WAFFier (comparative)
WAFFiest (superlative)

Part 1 was all the wonderfully WAFFy scenes of them getting ready to be married.

1996 February 13, BeBe 4 LC, “Possibilities, Possibilities”, in alt.tv.lois-n-clark (Usenet):

SUMMARY: Not much to say. After an emotional day, Scully and Mulder bond platonically over beer and pizza. Lots of WAFFy moments.

1996 April 22, Eric Johns, “Someone To Lean On 1/2”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Now if you are unfortunate enough to read on, immediately read some WAFFy fiction or something by Helm to wash out the bitter taste.

1999 December 28, Bastion, “[DARK][Songfic] This Is Not Hell (R)”, in alt.fan.sailor-moon (Usenet):

(fandom slang) Evoking, related to, or characteristic of warm and fuzzy feelings (WAFF).


fandom bicycle

From town bicycle, the jocular idea being that, like a hypothetical bicycle shared by an entire fandom, "everyone gets a ride" with the character.

LOL Hermione is SO the fandom bicycle more so than Harry I think.

2010 September 14, Menacherie (@Menacherie), Twitter:

I am multiship TRASH. especially in Dragon Age, I'm happy with my faves kissing really any of my other faves. Especially Anders. man is the fandom bicycle and that is delightful, he deserves many smooches.

also hateships gave us some real great classics like Drarry and Han/Leia so fight me

2016 December 22, Elliott (@elliohill), Twitter:

2019 April 8, E'dmund Tia (@catboy_on_main), Twitter:

(fandom slang) A ship involving characters with an adversarial relationship.


Barbie shipper

Presumably from the likening of shipping characters to playing with Barbie dolls.

Normally, I don't respond to your kind of bullshit or the other mindless Barbie shipper/Duchovbot bullshit I've had to endure, but I couldn't let this pass.

2001 July 10, Lizabeth V. Karaganis, “Re: Where to go in the 9th season?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

CC's gamble to have 'Mulder the Absent Center' may have appeased a few barbie shipper types but it also drove off a lot of the fanbase as well.

2002 January 22, Medie, “Re: RP & last seacon”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

There was a big deal about SCULLY'S CHASTITY = DEVOTION TO MULDER during the heyday of the Shipper versus Noromo wars. That "Barbie Shippers" faction of XF fandom is currently cloistering itself somewhere in really dreadful, schmoopy fanfic where no other character threatens the purity of their "deep, abiding luv".

2005 June 25, campylobacter, “Re: Never Again question”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang, derogatory, dated) One who ships Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from the The X-Files.


Ronniecoln

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Ronnie Anne Santiago and Lincoln Loud from the animated television series The Loud House.


Snamione

Pairing names are often portmanteaus of characters' names, although fans may not always agree on the forms that these amalgamations take — the Snape/Hermione ship, for example, may be called Snamione, Sevmione, Snermione or Snanger, depending on the preferences of the fans who participate in it.

2015, Amanda K. Allen, “Social Networking, Participatory Culture and the Fandom World of Harry Potter”, in Gail Ashton, editor, Medieval Afterlives in Contemporary Culture, Bloomsbury Publishing, →ISBN, page 279:

Therefore, it is logical that the selected trope will more often be used in fics which have a non-normative ship: fandomstats relays that, within the EWE tag, some of the most prolific ships include Drarry, Dramione (Draco/Hermione, not a slash ship but still one that does not conform with Rowling’s normative ideas as it contains Draco, an antagonistic character), and ships involving Snape, including Snamione and Snarry.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 120

And the love bred a shameful number of Snamione fanfics in the coming years.

2021, Leighann Hart, “About the Author”, in Loving Rosenfeld, Crooked Hart Press, LLC, →ISBN:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Hermione Granger and Severus Snape of the Harry Potter series.


TatsuJun

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Tatsuya Suou and Jun Kurosu from the Persona series.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin#Setting and characters


BroTP

Blend of bro (“male comrade or friend”) + OTP (“one true pairing”).

blend

"Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers are adorbs together as friends, but I'd never ship them — total BROTP."

2015, Sam Maggs, The Fangirl's Guide to the Universe: A Handbook for Girl Geeks, page 31:

BROTPs and OT3s (shipping three characters in a polyamorous relationship) abound.

2016, Bethany A. Scettrini, "Fan Responses to Orphan Black and The 100 via Blogs, Fan Fiction, and Ship Wars", thesis submitted to Baylor University, page 51

Being in a fandom means that we willingly signed on to watch as our—soon-to-be — favorite character(s) die, as we find out our OTP may never truly get to be happy, or that our BroTP will always be at odds.

2019, Star, "Fixing What Shouldn't Be Broken", Lemon, page 14

(fandom slang) A platonic relationship between two characters that is a personal favorite of a fan.


NOTP

Usually it is best to keep your NOTP to yourself, unless you wish to start a shipping war.

2013, "Severus Snape", "Ship happens", The Sandscript (Sanderson High School, Raleigh, BC), March 2013 (April Fool's issue), page 5

Add the words you want to avoid to your black list (anything from your NOTP to seriously triggering topics), and posts containing them will never again show up on your dash.

2015, Sam Maggs, The Fangirl's Guide to the Universe: A Handbook for Girl Geeks, pages 66–67:

When questioned on why they disliked their ‘NOTP’, most respondents claimed it was often due to notable inclusion of paedophilic, incestuous, abusive, or non-consensual relationships and intercourse within the stories.

2019, Amy Pollard, “An investigation of fanfiction readers' and writers' views on fanfiction, with a focus on LGBTQ+ themes”, in Mesh: The Journal for Undergraduate Work Across English Studies, number 3, published 2009, pages 22–23:

(fandom slang) A ship that one strongly dislikes.


LoVe

Blend of Logan + Veronica, as a deliberate homophone of love.

The complicated and, for fans, mostly frustrating relationship between these characters is the reason why stories dealing with Spuffy and LoVe pairings are by far more popular than stories based on any other possible ship.

2008, Manuela Scherf, "Character Formation in Fan Fiction Based on Popular TV Series, thesis submitted to the University of Vienna, page 15

“LoVe” (Logan/Veronica) was a very rapid OTP (one true pairing) candidate.

2018, Ivan Askwith, quoted in The Routledge Companion to Media Fandom (Melissa A. Click & Suzanne Scott), unnumbered page

Though all but two of my informants eventually self-identified as LoVe shippers—Eileen and Jodie were vocally opposed to the relationship, characterizing it as abusive—all were initially unwilling to involve that investment in their answers to my questions.

2018, Annemarie Navar-Gill, “Fandom as symbolic patronage: expanding understanding of fan relationships with industry through the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign”, in Popular Communication: The International Journal of Media and Culture, volume 16, number 3:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars from the television show Veronica Mars.


anti-Reylo

When Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out, the fandom found itself dividing across one really hard, bright line: the Reylos and the anti-Reylos.

2017 December 15, Ani Bundel, “More Than The Force Connects Kylo Ren & Rey In 'The Last Jedi' & It's Intense”, in Elite Daily:

Anti-Reylos read the pairing's on-screen encounters as rape, and they point out the age difference and potential familial relationship.

2018, Kristina Busse, “Afterword: Fannish Affect and Its Aftermath”, in Rebecca Williams, editor, Everybody Hurts: Transitions, Endings, and Resurrections in Fan Cultures, page 217:

This also means that there are significant clashes between Reylo shippers and anti-Reylos.

2019, Lauren Rouse, "The fan fiction reading guide: the use of multimedia and comments as close reading tools", thesis submitted to DePaul University, page 96

(fandom slang) An opponent of the ship of Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars (Reylo).


左右固定

左右固定 (canonical)
sayū kotei (romanization)

Referring to the "top"–"bottom" ordering of names in pairings.

Linny

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter.


Pansmione

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Pansy Parkinson and Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.


bifictional

From bi- + fictional, based on bisexual.

I don't know if Henry Wyckoff is bi-fictional, but the stories of his that I've read were gen.

1999 October 2, Sally, “Re: looking for. . .”, in alt.tv.sentinel (Usenet):

Recently some Sentinel fans have been discussing the various types of fanfiction written in the fandom. Some were curious about the proportion of gen only, slash only, and bifictional readers.

2000 June 6, S. Mallet (AKA Marmoset), “Preferences in Sentinel Fanfic -- New Poll”, in alt.tv.sentinel (Usenet):

At any rate, the first Trekfic I posted was non-slash, and I'm pretty much rampantly bifictional in my reading, although I don't like most het (probably because I don't have good enough filters in place to eliminate the bad stuff).

2000 June 22, laura jacquez valentine, “Re: Slash versus non-slash”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

(fandom slang, dated) Interested in the two predominant genres of fan fiction within a specific fandom (generally genfic and slashfic, or hetfic and slashfic).


Bumbleby

Derived from bumblebee, referring to the two characters' colours of yellow (Yang Xiao Long) and black (Blake Belladonna).

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna of the web animation series RWBY.

From ship + -ar. The use of ⟨pp⟩ was likely influenced by English spelling rules, e.g. shipping.

Em um beach club em Saint-Tropez, os dois posaram para algumas fotos juntos e deram esperança aos fãs. "Pior que daria um casalzão", opinou um. "Eu shippo", disse outro. Apesar disso, o funkeiro mandou um recado: "Proibido shippar."

2024 July 16, Julia Bonin, “'Proibido shippar', diz MC Daniel ao posar com Anitta”, in Revista Quem [Magazine Who], Notícias [News]:

At a beach club in Saint-Tropez, the two posed for some photos together and gave their fans hope. “I'm afraid they'd make a great couple,” said one. "I ship [them]," said another. Despite this, the Brazilian funk singer sent a message: “No shipping.”

(Brazil, fandom slang, transitive) to ship (to support or approve of a romantic relationship between two characters or people)


Larrie

From Larry (“real-person fiction ship of Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles”) + -ie (suffix signifying an associated person).

suffix

As 1D are now on a hiatus and band members are pursuing solo carreers,^([sic]) the Larries still live on as a community engaged with support for LGBTQ youths—and producing 1D-themed merchandise for charity.

2019, Paola Brembilla, “Transmedia Music: The Values of Music as a Transmedia Asset”, in Matthew Freeman, Renira Rampazzo Gambarato, editors, The Routledge Companion to Transmedia Studies, New York, N.Y., Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge, →ISBN:

Representation of the Larry fandom has gone beyond pathologizing fangirls to framing their shipping practice in terms of “fake news.” The conspiracy theory panic around Larries misses the complex ways that subtext and queer reading are mobilized within the fandom to invoke feelings of queer intimacy and belonging. Drawing on a digital ethnography conducted on Twitter with Larries, we argue that these fans engage in queer reading strategies to explicitly imagine and interrupt dominant heterosexual narratives, and thus queer the figure of the fangirl.

2019 spring, Hannah McCann, Clare Southerton, “Repetitions of Desire: Queering the One Direction Fangirl”, in Girlhood Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, volume 12, number 1, New York, N.Y.: Berghahn Books, →DOI, →ISSN, pages 56–57:

The theory is so popular that one of the most retweeted tweets of all time is simply Louis wishing Harry well with “Always in my heart @Harry_Styles. Yours sincerely, Louis,” sent in October 2011. Larries, or Larry Stylinson shippers, believe the message is indisputable proof that the two were and are together, despite the fact that neither party has vocalized an interest in men and have only ever publicly partnered with women. When Tomlinson began dating Eleanor Calder in September 2011, one year into the band’s existence, Larries believed she was acting as a beard, though Louis assured fans that he wasn’t hiding homosexuality.

2020, Maria Sherman, Larger Than Life: A History of Boy Bands from NKOTB to BTS, New York, N.Y.: Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, →ISBN:

While I mope my way out of junior year, my classmates meet a person worth skipping class for: our adolescent mainstay; Tumblr’s participation trophy; the face of all things wholesome yet perverse and totally, definitively, how-many-retweets-for-you-to-go-to-prom-with-me, fuck-the-larries-they’re-invasive, masturbate-to-a-Y/N, let’s-sell-out-a-Chelsea-boot, Internet. / Harry Styles.

2021, Via Bleidner, If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous by Now: True Stories from Calabasas, New York, N.Y.: Flatiron Books, →ISBN:

There is some room, mostly in offline conversations, to equivocate about Larry. Mina Hughes, a student from Texas, told me she didn’t identify as a Larrie, but she was invested in the story. “I am a grown-up, and I am self-aware enough to know that it’s really childish to want total strangers to be dating,” she told me. […] She [“Lisa”] fields questions nearly every day from new Larries who don’t have the same knowledge of a decade’s worth of lore—if she’s in the mood, that is. Otherwise she might simply command them to “scroll down.” Her bio explains that she has been part of the fandom since 2012 and a Larrie “since day 1.”

2022, Kaitlyn Tiffany, Everything I Need I Get from You: How Fangirls Created the Internet as We Know It, New York, N.Y.: MCD × FSG Originals, →ISBN:

From causing friends to drift apart, to committing oversexualization that disrespects Louis' and Harry's individual craft, Larries continue to exist and dominate spaces within the online world. […] “Louis and Harry are one day closer to being free” are the words tweeted daily by a Larrie twitter^([sic]) user @rogueskimo. While its realisation is yet to come, and the not-yet remains to be ever present, the Larrie sub-fandom, through occupying the field of romance and utilizing its unending potential will continue to yield a powerful noise that shall sustain not just their narrative of Louis and Harry’s relationship, but their very existence as a sub-fandom.

2022, Andrea Anne I. Trinidad, “‘Shipping’ Larry Stylinson: what makes pairing appealing boys romantic?”, in Ann Brooks, editor, The Routledge Companion to Romantic Love, Abingdon, Oxon, New York, N.Y.: Routledge, →ISBN, part VI (South and southeast Asian romance communities), pages 231 and 236:

I ship #Druna because I think Luna's free spirit and open mind would be able to handle Draco and help his vulnerable side come out..

2012 January 22, Its Lily, Bitch! (@Lily_Lovegood), Twitter:

I have found myself shipping Draco/Luna lately, Any other Druna shippers out there?

2012 December 15, lux (@luxkaur), Twitter:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Draco Malfoy and Luna Lovegood of the Harry Potter series.


ship and let ship

The second way the fandom anti is seen to transgress fandom mores is to ignore the fandom etiquette of "Ship and Let Ship" and attempt to impose their definition of appropriateness on popular character pairings, or ships, in various media texts.

2024 January 1, Rukmini Pande, “"Get out of here you anti": Historizing the Operation of Structural Racism in Media Fandom”, in Feminist Media Histories, volume 10, number 1, Oakland, C.A.: University of California Press, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC, pages 114–115:

(fandom slang) A pro-shipper slogan encouraging fans to focus on their preferred ships, avoiding ship wars and discourse over which ships are acceptable.


anti-anti

they’re not “anti antis” or “pro-shippers”, they’re enablers. enablers of grooming, abuse, sexualization of children, fetishization of rape, incest, abuse, paedophilia and dehumanizing, sexualizing and fetishizing the LGBT community, especially mlm.

2021, anonymous, quoted in Victor Larsen, "'It Makes Me, A Minor, Uncomfortable': Media and Morality In Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom", thesis submitted to Ghent University, page 47

Just so those "anti-anti" types who claim to be the real allies know, as a minor I have always felt so, so wary around you. You remind me so much of creepy people, especially men, who I have met IRL, and your attitude toward my objections about the work you produce (especially stuff involving adults and children and noncon) is flippant, disrespectful, and just plain shitty.

2022, anonymous, quoted in Angela Marie Fazekas, "Creative Becomings: Explicit Fanfiction, Reinventing Adolescence, and Queer Relationality", thesis submitted to the University of Toronto, page 106

In response to this, pro-ship and anti-anti groups largely emphasize that it is up to individuals to curate their fandom experiences and avoid content they dislike, not censor depictions of it.

2023, Samantha Aburime, “Hate narratives, conditioned language and networked harassment: A new breed of anti-shipper and anti-fan - antis”, in Journal of Fandom Studies, volume 10, numbers 2-3:


Ineffable Husbands

From a description of the plans of God as "ineffable" in the original novel (1990) by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett.

Known as the "Ineffable Husbands," their dynamic easily lends itself to being read as queer within the initial novel as well as in the miniseries, with the pairing significantly outpacing any other Good Omens pairing on the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own.

2023, Erin Giannini, Amanda Taylor, “In the Beginning: Nice and Accurate Analyses of Good Omens”, in Amanda Taylor, Erin Giannini, editors, Deciphering Good Omens: Nice and Accurate Essays on the Novel and Television Series, page 2:

Aziraphale and Crowley’s duality of personalities and complex approaches to life and morality means that you can tell almost any kind of story at almost any point in human history and find a way to shoehorn the Ineffable Husbands into the fray.

2023, Grey D. Mangan, "The Internet Isn’t Forever: Early Internet Fan Archives, Their Stewards, Lifespans, and the Political Nature of the Deaths of Their Queer Communities", thesis submitted to the University of Tennessee, page 87

Each of the fanfiction's chapters deals with an event that enables an interaction between the 'Ineffable Husbands' and allows one to observe their dynamic relationship.

2024, Ashumi Shah, The Mediaverse and Speculative Fiction Television: Understanding Speculative TV Fandoms, page 210:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Aziraphale and Crowley from the novel Good Omens and its television adaptation.

Tomarry

It's that time again where I've returned to reading Tomarry fics. It's been about 5 years since this affliction began.

2017 January 22, chi (@maydenchina), Twitter:

Continuing the analyses, we move now to The Love of a Good Wizard, a Tomarry fic written by user SweetSorcery and published on AO3 in 2011.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 106

Snaco

You need to talk to Femme. She's the quintessential Snaco fan.

2009 November 21, NurseDarry (@DarryWillis), Twitter:

I should be tackling the cupboard under the stairs. Instead, I've been sucked into reading Snaco. I don't even ship Snaco!

2016 June 10, A (@vventvvorth), Twitter:

2016 October 22, julie (@_snowthunder), Twitter:

There must be a Venn diagram of Hailaveh shippers and Victuuri shippers and I'm smack bang in the middle of it bb

2023 December 8, Alley (@thealleyways_), Twitter:

Bagginshield

I think I should stop swimming in denial now and just admit that I think I've become a Bagginshield shipper...

2013 January 31, @Seheehee1105, Twitter:

I'll stop shipping Bagginshield when Bilbo and Thorin stop being perfect for each other

Kiliel

Wow I ship Kiliel a lot, but I also ship Kili and Legolas and Tauriel and Legolas and I don't know what to do

2013 December 14, Kayla (@Kay_Pereira), Twitter:

Accusing people of not being "real fans" of Tolkien because they ship Kiliel is just u being an asshole with superiority issues

2021 June 30, Space Lich and His Brick (@space_lich), Twitter:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kíli and Tauriel of The Hobbit film trilogy.


comship

Blend of complicated + ship, or complex + ship.

I know, but he's not a human and that makes it a comship. And there are many canonical comships, it's not necessarily a bad thing

2023 September 11, Julián (@Justigodesgod), Twitter:

I've always hated comships (besides the usual ones like immortal x mortal), but I just.. block people. It's as simple as that.

2023 September 12, Lumi (@oneiricstar), Twitter:

as long as you're nice and don't only talk about your comships as some make me uncomfy

2024 January 16, Lana (Ame-Chan) (@Ena_Irl_), Twitter:

(fandom slang) A ship featuring elements deemed morally complex or problematic, such as abuse, incest, or a power gap.


comshipper

Blend of complicated + shipper, or complex + shipper.

comshippers sometimes scare me more than proshippers

2023 May 19, Legs (@Pavryklvr), Twitter:

Comshippers ALWAYS use that excuse, as if it’s valid “at least I can tell fiction and reality is different!!”

“I don’t condone it IRL” is such a brain-dead defense proshippers/comshippers use, and I’m sick of hearing it.

2023 August 1, L0GIC (@123L0gic), Twitter:

(fandom slang) One who supports a ship with elements deemed morally complex or problematic, such as abuse, incest, or a power gap.


Solavellan

Solavellan just gets me thinking the what ifs, headcanons, the theories. You have to really dig deep if you wanna understand the romance.

I am a (pretty hardcore) Solavellan shipper, though I completely understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Solavellan is probably my favorite romance from a narrative sense.

(fandom slang) The ship of Solas and the female elf Inquistor player character from Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Solavellan Hell

Oh dear. Poor you. You're done for once you enter the Solavellan Hell.

Welcome to Solavellan Hell. Kleenexes on the table, and weeping is done in the corners.

We’ve all been through enough heartache with Solavellan Hell, so gotta keep it uplifting in here haha.

2024 February 9, [deleted user account], Reddit:

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The state of exquisite agony experienced by shippers of Solas and the Inquistor (Solavellan)


Cullavellan

I just read the best cullavellan fic and now my blood is boiling why do I have class

2016 February 3, cade (@tinygrunt), Twitter:

There was this one cullavellan fic where both Cullen and Lavellan didn't want kids and honestly it made me so happy.

All the other Cullavellan shippers I’ve met saying how their Inky and Cullen fell in love at first sight and stuff… Meanwhile mine was ready to fist fight this man in a Denny’s parking lot any day of the week

2022 February 12, ace (@ace_trash_boi), Twitter:

(fandom slang) The ship of Cullen Rutherford and the female elf Inquistor player character from Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Fenhawke

Assuming Fenhawke isn't an option here, I don't mind Fenbela if it's well-written.

I binge read some fenhawke fics from nearly a decade ago and still love them just as much :)

2020 March 2, Jill (@EphemeraBlossom), Twitter:

Fenhawke will always be my number 1 dragon age ship 😭😭

Me listening to any song: Wow I can't believe this artist too ships handers, and decided to write a song about it, what an amazing world

2015 September 27, deneb (@v3gaaltair), Twitter:

Goddamn Handers ship being so beautifully angsty.

2016 January 29, Nyxie Black (@NyxieBlack), Twitter:

Hawkebela is such an under appreciated ship and I have no idea why

(fandom slang) The ship of player character Hawke and Isabela from Dragon Age II.


Fenbela

how could the same franchise that gave us fenbela give us josie/blackwalll

Sevmione

pro-shitter

pro-shitters after saying blatantly transphobic and ableist bullshit to "le epically own the antis trolololol" /nbh

Pro-shitters will be like “listen to Chinese people and try to see things from a Chinese cultural perspective for once!! 🤬” when it comes to defending incest, but not when a character is blatantly lesbian-coded.

2023 July 27, Adrian A. Stone, anonymous quotee, The Antagonistic Anatomy of Anti-shippers: A Thematic Analysis (master's thesis), New York, N.Y.: John Jay College of Criminal Justice, archived from the original on 2024-04-21:

(fandom slang, derogatory, vulgar) A pro-shipper (“one who supports a ship or shipping deemed problematic”).


Sylki

The episode’s only action scene is a brief but exciting flurry of blades, which ends in a touching moment that all Sylki shippers out there I’m sure enjoyed greatly [...]

2021 July 14, Simon Cardy, “Loki: Episode 6 Review”, in IGN:

However, Loki fans are all about that romance, and the fourth episode in the currently unfolding Season 2 has “Sylki” lovers swooning after the Trickster God attempted to confess his love by surprisingly bringing a moment from Thor full circle.

2023 October 27, Mike Redmond, “Tom Hiddleston Brought A Moment From ‘Thor’ Full Circle, And ‘Loki’ Fans Are Swooning”, in Uproxx:

At least, this is the dilemma facing Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) in the Disney+ series Loki, having spent most of Season 2 at odds. But don't worry Sylki fans, this new dynamic is all part of the plan.

2023 November 3, Arezou Amin, “'Loki' Season 2 Writer Answers a Big Question—Is Sylki a Romance?”, in Collider:

Let’s get the obvious point out of the way first: Sylvie fans (and Sylki shippers) have been waiting all season for this date. It was first hinted at in a leaked set photo of Loki and Sylvie standing by her truck, and teased again in a trailer.

2023 November 3, Julia Glassman, “Let’s Unpack That Loki/Sylvie Scene in ‘Loki’ Episode 5”, in The Mary Sue:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Loki and Sylvie from the television series Loki.


Sunflower

From sunflower, in reference to Sunny's name and Basil's flower crown.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Sunny and Basil from the videogame Omori.


Sunburn

From sunburn, in reference to Sunny's name.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Sunny and Aubrey from the videogame Omori.


Suntan

From suntan, in reference to Sunny's name and Kel's tanned skin.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Sunny and Kel from the videogame Omori.


Fontcest

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Fontcest.wav

From font + -cest, since both characters are named after fonts.

(fandom slang) The incestuous ship of brothers Sans and Papyrus from the video game Undertale.


Marigon

The real weirdest part of that is how it was apparently "a secret," yet Marigon still allowed the artist to not only complete the statue, but then put it on display.

I love Hunter Schafer! She would make a fierce Marigon in a live action adaptation

2023 March 13, PorscheUberAlles, Reddit:

D's presense also serves to strengthen this connection, as both the D twins and Marigon share the dual-self thing.

(Elden Ring fandom slang) Marika and Radagon as a single entity; the selfcest ship of Marika and Radagon.


Maragon

That meshes beautifully with Corhyn’s statements about Goldmask’s doctrines once he learns of Maragon.

2023 July 7, PublicFurryAccount, Reddit:

The tree is separate from the ring that's locked inside Maragon's body as well.

2024 January 25, setfunctionzero, Reddit:

I’m here for the duality of Maragon and their relationship!

(Elden Ring fandom slang) Synonym of Marigon.


Radika

Marigon/Radika are acting as a vessel for the ring. I don't know how much of either of them are left.

Three butterflies means there’s three children of Radika but you think what I’m saying is wild?

What I don't understand is how Radagon is Marika. Does she shift between the two or does Radagon split off? Is Messmer her first born through Radika?

2024 May 21, Honest_Yesterday4435, Reddit:


Wyllstarion

Wyllstarion is like crack to me. I wish it was more popular.

2024 April 30, Passenger_Prince, Reddit:

I ship Wyllstarion hard. Astarion would make an amazing duchess.

2024 June 16, Healthy_Breakfast_24, Reddit:

I’ll take those Wyllstarion fics if you don’t mind 👀

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Wyll Ravengard and Astarion Ancunín from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Bloodweave

Blend of blood + weave, referencing Astarion being a vampire and Gale a wizard (the Weave is a source of magic in Forgotten Realms lore).

Gotta love some tender Bloodweave.

My favourite part of bloodweave is they can either help fix each other or be ambitious lil shits together.

2023 May 17, ferretatthecontrols, Reddit:

Just play as Gale, then you have no choice but to choose someone else (I recommend Astarion for Bloodweave goodness.)

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Astarion Ancunín and Gale Dekarios from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.

Forgotten Realms
Mystra (Forgotten Realms)#Weave


Quincest

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Quincest.wav

From Quin + -cest, presumably constructed to rhyme with twincest.

When she met Sarah, she felt more solidly herself than she had felt in years. Do you know about the subgenre of Tegan and Sara fan fiction called quincest? Tegan asked. Sarah raised a provocative eyebrow and leaned forward. Does it involve Tegan and Sarah...fucking? The way she said Sarah made it clear who she meant, and they way she said fucking, what.

2020, M./Megan Milks, “The Strands”, in Foglifter, volume 4, number 2, page 11:

Some Tegan and Sara fans wrote "Quincest" fanfiction

2024 October 18, Nardos Haile, “'Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara': Five bombshells from catfishing to incest fanfiction”, in Salon.com:

The other sequence involves a toxic fan named “Tara,” who once ran a blog writing “Quincest” fanfiction (readers, I apologize if this is the first time you are encountering the idea of twincest fanfiction, and if you are, you should probably not google the term further).

2024 October 18, Marya E. Gates, “Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara”, in RogerEbert.com:

(fandom slang) The real-person fiction ship of identical twin indie pop duo Tegan and Sara.


Rhaenicent

Expected Daemyra and Rhaenicent to be popular but wtf how is Lucemond a top 25 ship globally?

I’ve been shipping Rhaenicent since the first episode aired, and I’ve also been Team Black the entire time, and Rhaenyra’s my favorite character.

But yes, I agree they needed to build Rhaenicent properly if it was going to be such a big thing.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.


Daemyra

Daemyra was teased since their throne scene in the 1st episode

Him [Matt Smith] being the biggest Daemyra shipper gives me a lot of hope for their future in the rest of the series!

2024 June 26, Honeypumpkingrass_, Reddit:

Daemyra is intriguing to me because I know it’s not real. If I saw a real life incestuous couple, I definitely wouldn’t be saying “damn, that’s hot!”.

2024 September 14, TacosandFire, Reddit:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Daemon Targaryen and Rhaenyra Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.


Helaemond

I love Helaemond, it has so many of my favorite tropes all wrapped up into one ship and I think they look beautiful together.

“I’ve seen them all, for sure,” Phia Saban said. “I mean, sometimes Ewan [and I] will be doing a scene and we’ll be like, ‘Do it for Helaemond.’ And he’s like, ‘You know what the people want.'”

2024 June 11, Meghan O'Keefe, “'House of the Dragon' stars Ewan Mitchell and Phia Saban played into fan theories in season 2: 'Do it for Helaemond'”, in Decider:

In the pair's exclusive conversation with Collider, Saban said that a Helaemond relationship "[isn't] completely out of the question," and both actors agreed the siblings are "closer" to one another than their other siblings.

2024 July 9, Kelcie Mattson, “Will Aemond Be the Father of Helaena's Third Child in 'House of the Dragon'?”, in Collider:

(fandom slang) The incestuous ship of fictional siblings Helaena Targaryen and Aemond Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.

Helaegon

Helaegon I don’t understand at all. Aegon is a piece of shit human and Helaena is a gentle soul.

2023 October 25, Hysteric_woman, Reddit:

We needed more Helaegon scenes. Ryan fucking condom can't give them a 2 minutes conversation.

I like Helaegon because Aegon is so alone in the world in the show, I need copium in my imagination that there's at least one person in his corner.

(fandom slang) The canonical incestuous ship of fictional siblings Helaena Targaryen and Aegon II Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.

List of House of the Dragon characters#Aegon II Targaryen


Alysmond

The only ship I support is Alysmond. Canonically they were the only people in TG [Team Green] who actually loved each other romantically.

Alysmond is a "he/she can make me worse" kind of situation imo and I'm here for it.

Alysmond is one of the most vile relationships in the entire series. She was his literal hostage yet they glorify it calling Aemond “based” and a “milf enjoyer”. Fucking sick.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Alys Rivers and Aemond Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.


Alicole

I ship Alicole, but their relationship isn’t based on sex, more of a religious fascination and devotion—courtly love.

2023 September 7, deleted account, Reddit:

Alicole feels like a twisted version of Lancelot and Guinevere. The knight in service of the king who falls in love with the queen.

Alicole are both hypocrites, I was shouting at my screen in disbelief. These two nutheads have the audacity to besmirch Rhaenyra and then doing the same goddamn thing years later.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Alicent Hightower and Criston Cole from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.
