Rempy

Rempy is the slash ship between Ren and Stimpy from The Ren & Stimpy Show fandom.

Canon
Ren and Stimpy star as the two main protagonists of The Ren and Stimpy Show. Staring a temperamental chihuahua, and a dimwitted cat, these two share quite an interesting relationship dynamic. While shown to be rather toxic between Ren's anger issues and Stimpy's carefree and happy-go-lucky attitude that tend to clash with one another, it is shown throughout the series that the two heavily rely on each other, both displaying moments of separation anxiety from both Ren and Stimpy beginning since the first episode. Throughout the series's entirety, Ren and Stimpy always appear to be living with each other, and are even shown sharing the same bed nearly every time they go to bed. Later on in the show's 2003 adult reboot, their relationship's homosexual themes are more exaggerated, though a major part of that is done for a more humorous purpose.

Ren always gets angry by Stimpy's stupidity, despite this, he loves him for his kind heart, while Stimpy loves him back. Sometimes Ren would blame Stimpy if he annoys him and he would aften call Stimpy an idiot. Nontheless, they care about each other so much and they would do anything to keep each other safe. Due to their flaws (Ren's short temper and Stimpy's sillines) you can say that their relationship is not perfect or the best. In "Stimpy's Fan Club" Stimpy sends a letter to Ren to make him feel better for not getting any fans. In "Nurse Stimpy" he did anything to help Ren get better when he was sick. Even if Ren is mostly mean to him, Stimpy always cares for him.

As briefly mentioned before, Ren and Stimpy's relationship were taken to the next level in its 2003 revival. In the series's first episode, Onward and Upward, it is established from the episode's beginning that they are in a sexual relationship when Ren refers to himself as the 'pitcher' and Stimpy as the 'catcher'. Later on in the episode it is the implied that the two have intercourse while performing role pay in baseball outfits. There were some parts where the two would kiss each other, mostly shown in the series's final episode "Stimpy's Pregnant". In this episode, they grew more in love and Stimpy gave birth to their new kid, Little Ricky. Despite learning their child is just a pile of baby shaped, feces, they still chose to love and raise it as their own.

Fanon
The fans shipped them before it was canon due to their love and care for each other. Some made art of them kissing and doing other couple stuff. though now people forgot about the franchise since it is a really old one. According to an interview featuring the show's creator, John Kricfalusi, there were a number homosexual fans of the show who were highly fond of Ren and Stimpy's relationship, saying that they really related to them watching the show in a homosexual relationship. It was around this time that fans would ask the creator if Ren and Stimpy were actually gay. In the interview, Kricfalusi answered something along the lines of "I don't know if they're gay. It's none of my business." But with the amount of moments between the two depicting some sort of romantic relationship in both the original cartoon and its adult reboot, in some cases it may be difficult to argue against one's claim that Ren and Stimpy are undoubtedly in love with each other.
