Fanon
The group is mainly shipped as friends since they are called the Best Friend Squad. They have a normal and weird friendship and it would be reasonable to ship them as friends. It's easy to like the friendship between the three since they get so much screentime and moments. Some people ship the Best Friend Squad romantically since they like Glimadora and Glimbow. Although, most people don't ship Adorabow or Batra side of the ship since they view Adora as a lesbian. Catra is also viewed as a lesbian. Those who want to include Catra in the Best Friend Squad often refer to the Best Friend Quad.

There are currently 507+ works on AO3 for the friendship and 26+ works on AO3 for the friendship.
