Fanon
A small group of fans is believed to have started the ship some time before Moana's story was released in theatres, and the popularity of the ship continued to grow after it was released. A few fan artwork and fics of the ship has Moana meeting Ariel through a "watery wall", or has the ocean bringing the two together. Because Ralph Breaks the Internet is a canon Disney crossover, that has a version of the two know each other, the ship sometimes has them in the modern, casual style clothes that the netizen versions of them wear in the film.

On AO3, the ship has over 25 fanfics. As well as it having a reasonable fanbase on both DeviantArt and Tumblr. A few fan-made work, like artwork and manip, sometimes features both of them as mermaids. A commonly used, fan-given trait in Ariel ships.
