◊."I'm fascinated by the "shippers". Utterly fascinated by that. They will take the tiniest clue — the tiniest smile between two characters — and see that as evidence for something."
— David Slack on the subject of Beast Boy/Raven shippers.
Joey: I hate you, Kaiba!
Kaiba: And I despise you, Wheeler.
Fangirl interpretation: They must be in wuv.
"Yes! Misunderstanding! That's precisely it!" Twilight agreed with a prim nod. "You have all of these romantic notions, and then you find a way to interpret even the most innocent of interactions as evidence justifying a non-existent relationship! It can be endearing, sometimes, but it's also risky!"

"It's...okay to pretend, I guess, but honestly, Rarity, please don't jump to conclusions," Twilight pleaded weakly. "At least, not unless something actually happens. If Rainbow and Pinkie ever actually do get together for some reason, then, well, of course we'll be supportive — but until then, maybe you shouldn't be so, ah, passionate in your support of their love."
People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I'll just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
Stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'!

Can't help it, I just think that they would make such a good pair,
In canon they have never met—
I don't care, I ship it! I don't care.
I know that they are siblings but I think there's something more
If she weren't dating that guy, they'd be banging, I am sure.
The third scene in episode four, come on, look at him stare.
Twincest can't really be that bad

Yuna: What are you talking about?
Ano: Oh, but I'm not thinking dirty stuff or anything, you know. Yuri's, like, a more pure thing, right~? It's important to keep your imagination under control.
