Shrek (Fandom)/Ships

= Artielocks = 

Artielocks is the het between Arthur Pendragon and Goldilocks

Canon
Artie and Goldi are from the fairy tale based world of Shrek, but despite this fact the two have never met. While Artie was from the third film of the Shrek franchise, Goldi is part of the Puss in Boots spin-off franchise. Unlike the other main focused characters of the Shrek/PiB franchise, that are mostly fantasy creaturs and talking animals, both Artie and Goldi are young teen humans with blond colored hair.

Fanon
With both Artie and Goldi coming from the same DreamWorks universe of Shrek/Puss in Boots, it inspired a few to ship them together. With Fairy Tales (as the films from DreamWorks's rival company Disney) being no stranger to royal/thief-like couples, people felt that Artie and Goldi would fit this theme. Since Artie has already shown kindness towards fairy tale villains and helps them to reform, also helps to support the idea of this rare ship.

Trivia
= Charmiona = 
 * Along before Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came out, the Shrek franchise had a previous version of Goldilocks in the game, Shrek Smash and Crash Racing. With the Mama Bear in the first Shrek film being killed while Mama Bear of Puss in Boots is alive, it is unknown if the three bears and golden haired girl from the Shrek series have any connections to the ones that were presented in the second Puss in Boots film.

Charmiona is the het ship between Prince Charming and Princess Fiona from the Shrek.

Shrek 2
The movie starts with Charming narrating "his" story of how he braved all sorts of climates and obstacles in his quest to save Princess Fiona. But once he actually reached the Dragon Tower, he didn't find Fiona, but the Big Bad Wolf laying in her bed. He assumes the wolf is Fiona under a curse, but the wolf quickly clears that up and tells Charming that Fiona is on honeymoon. Charming is completely shocked, asking with whom.

Later, when the Fairy Godmother pays Fiona a visit while she's celebrating her wedding to Shrek with her parents, Charming appears again in Fairy Godmother's flying limo when his mother picks up one of her clients, Fiona's father King Harold. The Godmother reveals to Harold that Charming is her son and that they are not happy about some ogre barging into the Dragon Tower and stealing her son's Happily Ever After away from them. Harold tells them that Charming was too late, but they don't want to hear it and tell him that he's got to figure out a way to make things how they're "supposed to be".

Meanwhile, Shrek grows increasingly uncomfortable in the castle of his in-laws, being forced to sleep in his wife's childhood bedroom. To get his mind on other things, he finds Fiona's childhood diary and reads it, finding out that Fiona had never been allowed to sleepover with her princess friends due to her curse that turns her into an ogre every night. He is shocked at finding out that Fiona was looking forward to finding her Prince Charming and started obsessively writing "Mrs. Fiona Charming" on every next page of her diary, nearly driving Shrek mad. He realizes that he has to find a way to make himself more handsome to be accepted, which is only reinforced by King Harold placing a bounty on Shrek's head. After befriending the bounty hunter, Shrek and company visit the factory of the Fairy Godmother behind Fiona's back, stealing a "Happily Ever After" potion that will make him handsome for one day, permanently so if his true love kisses him before midnight.

Since Fiona is his true love, she becomes human again as a side effect of the potion. The Fairy Godmother finds out about the theft, but decides to use her manipulations to spin the story to her advantage. She tells her son to assume Shrek's identity, locking the real Shrek inside a room in the castle while forcing him to watch Fiona embrace Prince Charming. In reality, Fiona is deeply unsure if Prince Charming really is Shrek, but her parents seem rather thrilled at the result, only King Harold realizes what is actually going on, having met Charming before.

Nonetheless, Harold stages a secret meeting with the Fairy Godmother and Charming, believing that Fiona is not buying the idea that Charming is indeed Shrek. He considers just letting Fiona be happy with Shrek and cancelling further plans of trying to meddle with her love life. The Fairy Godmother is appalled at such a thought crossing Harold's mind telling him how straining it was to her son to pretend to be an ogre. She gives him a love potion to spike Fiona's drink instead. Harold is very clearly disgusted at what appears to be a regular occurence for the Fairy Godmother, but Shrek being discovered at listening in on their meeting distracts the Fairy Godmother before she could manipulate him further.

At the night of the ball, Harold actually goes ahead and pours the love potion into one cup of tea, leaving another one for himself. He then asks Fiona whether she would like to have a cup. Fiona laments how sudden the change of "her husband's" demeanor is, watching him drinking the attention of the crowd makes her believe that he had gone mad. Harold tells her that she should be happy that her husband changed for the better for her, but Fiona realizes that she fell in love with Shrek as he was. Harold then gets second thoughts about the love potion and tells Fiona to take the cup that he didn't spike.

During the ball, Fiona is further suspecting that something is up with Shrek, deliberately avoiding every attempt of Charming to kiss her. The real Shrek manages to escape jail just at the right moment, but the Fairy Godmother tells her son that Fiona already drank the potion, he should kiss her. Charming then kisses Fiona against her will and for a moment it seems that it's all over. Fiona gently caresses Charming's face with both hands... and knocks him out cold. Harold then reveals to the Fairy Godmother that he may have "accidentally" given her the wrong cup of tea. The Fairy Godmother is completely enraged at her plan falling apart and now nothing is stopping her from just killing Shrek. However, Harold reflects her blast right back to her and she turns into a pile of bubbles. Shrek then reveals that if Fiona kisses him before midnight, they would remain beautiful forever. Fiona rejects that idea, she wants to stay with the ogre she married. Charming ends up being distracted by the ugly stepsister Doris.

Fanon
Charmiona is a bit more well-liked than the first movie's Farquiona, arguing that Charming is a spoiled douchebag at worst compared to the tyrannical Lord Farquaad. Some even argue that Charming had a right to be cross with losing his chance with Fiona, since he was the one destined to rescue her, ignoring how he left her waiting for goose-knows how long and that Fiona ended up happily married anyway.

As a "fairy tale prince turns out to be the villain" story, Charmiona is sometimes credited for setting the template for Hanna, especially for how similar Anna is to Fiona (at least in the first movie).

= DonkeyBoots = 

DonkeyBoots is the friendship between Donkey and Puss in Boots from the Shrek fandom.

Shrek 2
Donkey meets Puss for the first time when Puss was acting as a hired gun trying to take down Shrek on King Harold's order. Initially, neither Shrek nor Donkey took him seriously, but they soon realized that Puss was a real threat as Shrek was practically helpless against his quick and pragmatic attacks, to the point where Shrek was begging Donkey to help him. In the end, it was Puss needing to take a break to cough up a hairball, which Donkey comments is absolutely disgusting, that makes him vulnerable to Shrek picking it up. Shrek "sparing" him and suggesting to Donkey that they should keep him makes Puss docile towards him, with Shrek needing to convince Donkey to take him with them by pleading Donkey to look in Puss' big eyes. Donkey is still not happy about agreeing, especially when Shrek needs Donkey to cry to summon the Fairy Godmother in hopes that she could help make Shrek handsome so Fiona's parents would accept him, with Puss stepping on Donkey's foot to get him to actually shed a tear.

With the Fairy Godmother unavailable, Puss decides to take Shrek to her factory, sitting on Shrek's shoulder and whispering into his ear, causing him to look back at Donkey and chuckle in a way that makes Donkey believe that they are gossiping about him. Upon arriving at the factory, they sneak in pretending to be union workers with Puss stealing a potion for Shrek while Donkey keeps watch for guards. Donkey fails at that one task, causing even more friction between Donkey and Puss, but Puss compliments him when he catches the "Happily Ever After" potion. When they are safely out of the Fairy Godmother's clutches, Donkey and Puss fight a bit over who gets to test the potion, but Donkey ends up winning and nearly gulps it down in one go before Shrek stops him. When Donkey asks if he looks any different, Puss makes a rude comment about Donkey looking the same as before. Shrek drinks the rest of the potion, to similar lack of effect, but it starts raining forcing them to seek shelter in a barn. In the barn, as dusk breaks, Donkey passes out followed soon by Shrek and then later Fiona in the castle. Puss stands watch over his new friends and gets a trio of lovely ladies to look after them, now Shrek is transformed into a handsome man while Donkey is transformed into a white stallion.

Upon helping Shrek steal some fitting clothes for him to wear, Donkey and Puss mostly stick together when they make it back to Harold's and Lillian's kingdom of Far Far Away. As they watch Shrek rush into the castle to greet Fiona as a human, they also see Fiona run outside asking if they had seen Shrek. Donkey explains that Shrek took a potion to become handsome for her, to which Fiona sees Puss on Donkey's back, asking if he's the transformed Shrek. The misunderstanding is cleared up fairly quickly, but Donkey and Puss play right into the wicked Fairy Godmother's cards when they tell her that Shrek is inside the castle, only for her to run into the Godmother's son Prince Charming pretending to be Shrek. When they see the actual Shrek walk out of the castle downtrodden, they assume the meeting with Fiona didn't go well and join him on a round of milk in the bar called The Poisoned Apple. However, that's where they overhear the deal between the Fairy Godmother and King Harold and find out that Fiona was tricked into believing Prince Charming is her husband. They are discovered by the Fairy Godmother and are promptly arrested. Nevertheless, Shrek's other friends end up watching the chase and recognize him, breaking them out of prison. Upon baking a giant gingerbread man to storm the castle before Fiona kisses Prince Charming, forcing her to fall in love with him, Puss and Donkey carry all of Shrek's friends on Donkey's back to assist in the final fight against the Fairy Godmother. As she's defeated and Shrek and Fiona happily turn back into ogres, Puss and Donkey start a fiesta in their name, singing Living La Vida Loca.

In the after credits, Puss invites Donkey to a night out with a duo of pretty ladies. Donkey turns it down, feeling depressed, with Puss offering to play matchmaker for him, only to be interrupted by Donkey's wife Dragon arriving with their hybrid babies. Everyone expresses support for the new father after initial confusion.

Fanon
DonkeyBoots was the first ship for the Puss in Boots character, despite being established to be a casanova and Donkey being happily married to Dragon and fathering her children. The ship was fueled by their rivalry in the second movie, along their funny banter in subsequent movies. However, it started falling in popularity with the introduction of Kitty Softpaws. Though it still has a bit of a following, people generally prefer them as friends these days.

= Funeral Wreath= 

Funeral Wreath is the slash between Death and E. Aster Bunnymund from the Shrek and Rise of the Guardians fandoms.

Canon
Because the two humanoid animals are from two separate DreamWorks films, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Rise of the Guardians, Death and Bunny have never met.

With Bunny being a Guardian and the Death wolf being the embodiment of death itself, the two are immortal. Who both happen to be very dedicate when it comes to their respective jobs. That's why they got upset when Jack and Puss didn't respect what the two stand for. Endings and new beginnings. Similar to how Bunny uses two boomerangs, Death is seen wielding a pair of sickles.

Fanon
Funeral Wreath is a rare crack ship between two well liked DreamWorks characters, that both happen to be talking humanoid animals that know how to handle a weapon. Even though rabbits are prey to wolves, but similar facts on that particular detail hasn't stopped ships like WildeHopps. Unlike the events that began cross ships like Hijack, Funeral Wreath started with a Tumblr poll on Bunnymund vs Death, and which one of the two would win. The comments that dyinggirldied got from it inspired her to ship them, with a death and rebirth theme. While fanarchoslashivist, another Tumblr user, subjected a title for her ship, before they began to do their own drawings on it and tries to get other people to support the ship as well. Its fanbase it still pretty small, but it is slowly growing. Since YouTube currently has one video on the two and a AO3 user has already written two fanfics on it.

Wildeboots is a cross furry ship between a Disney fox and a DreamWorks cat, and both happen to be ginger orange. The rare crack ship has a small fanbase on Tumblr. Disney/DreamWorks ships are quite common in the world of crossover shipping, but not all of them take off like Jackunzel, Mericcup and a few others have. With how rare the rest of them are.
