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
= Dronkey = 
 * 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.

Dronkey is the het ship between Donkey and Dragon from the Shrek fandom.

Shrek (2001)
Donkey meets Dragon when he joins Shrek on the quest to save Princess Fiona from Dragon's Keep. Shrek intends to use Donkey as a distraction while he's going directly to Fiona's tower to save her, but Donkey finds the Dragon asleep and accidently wakes it up. Shrek gets knocked into Fiona's tower by the dragon's tail anyway, but Donkey is left behind. Trying to escape the dragon, Donkey ends up trapped on a bridge when the dragon destroys two of its pillars, leaving Donkey standing on one of them at the dragon's mercy. As a last ditch effort to avoid being eaten, Donkey starts complimenting the dragon's handsomeness. He then swiftly finds out that the dragon is a girl, so he switches to "feminine beauty". Against all odds, this actually works and Dragon ends up falling for Donkey, to the point where she forgets all about her plans of eating him. Instead, she takes him by the tail and carries him to her treasure hoard. When Shrek takes Fiona by the arm and intends to rescue her without any emotional attachment, he overhears Donkey's cries and uses the excuse of having to "save his ass" as a convenient way of leaving Fiona there. He finds Donkey trapped in Dragon's snake-like tail, pleading her not to go through with this (as he's afraid of commitment). Shrek however interprets the situation as her still wanting to eat Donkey and uses a chandelier to knock her on the head to free Donkey. It doesn't work, but she still lets go of Donkey to take care of the new threat, with Shrek tying the chandelier's chain with a sword, allowing for him to escape with Donkey and Fiona in his arms. As Dragon is forced to watch Donkey leave her, she gives an anguished cry of despair.

Later, when Shrek turns on Donkey and Fiona after thinking that they talked about him behind his back, Donkey goes to a nearby river to sulk. Dragon find him there, showing that she managed to break free from the tower, still wearing the chandelier as a kind of leash/necklace. Donkey had thought things over and is now willing to accept her affections as Shrek wants nothing to do with him anymore.

However, that doesn't stop him from showing up at Shrek's swamp to build a wall, like Shrek wanted. When Shrek approaches him to complain, Donkey uses the opportunity to tell him the truth, that Fiona wasn't actually talking about him. Shrek believes him, but realizes that they'll never make it back to Duloc before sunset to stop Fiona from marrying Lord Farquaad. Donkey tells him that he came prepared and whistles his girlfriend over to hitch a ride. On Dragon, they make it to Duloc in a few minutes, with Shrek crashing the wedding by revealing that he had fallen in love with Fiona. As sunset approaches and Fiona didn't get love's first kiss yet, she reveals her ogre form to Shrek, Farquaad and the rest of Duloc, to which Farquaad is so disgusted that he orders his guards to kill Shrek and keep Fiona locked up. Donkey and Dragon arrive just in time to defeat the megalomaniac by having Dragon swallow him whole, allowing Shrek and Fiona to have love's first kiss. They are then seen attending Shrek and Fiona's wedding, to which Dragon catches Fiona's bouquet, with her and Donkey looking at each other affectionately.

= 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.

= Shronkey = 

Shronkey is the slash ship between Shrek and Donkey from the Shrek fandom.

Shrek (2001)
Donkey met Shrek when he was on the run from Farquaad's guards, whom he escaped from because Farquaad was planning to get rid of all fairy tale creatures in "his" land. Since Donkey was hiding behind Shrek, the guards had a reason to back off. One of the braver ones threatened Shrek that both of them will be captured on Lord Farquaad's orders, but Shrek manages to scare him off without much effort. Donkey is impressed and immediately wants to be Shrek's friend to get someone strong on his side, but Shrek is a loner and tries to scare him away too, only to find out that Donkey seems to be the only person in the world is not scared of him at all. So Shrek eventually gives in and lets Donkey stay at his swamp for the night, but forces him to sleep outside of his house.

Before dawn, Shrek is given a rude awakening by a bunch of homeless fairy tale creatures, with Donkey at the center. When Shrek asks them what they are doing in his swamp, they explain that they are hiding from Lord Farquaad, who wants to wipe all of them out. Shrek takes pragmatic action and ask if anyone knows where Lord Farquaad lives, to which Donkey volunteers, but only after all other candidates are seeded out does Shrek agree to take Donkey with him to get the fairy tale creatures out of his swamp. On their way, they stomp through someone's field and Donkey wonders why Shrek would challenge Farquaad, to which Shrek explains that "Ogres are like onions, they have layers", which Donkey doesn't understand. He then compares ogres to parfaits, which only enrages Shrek more.

At Castle Duloc, Farquaad's home, Shrek and Donkey find the town completely abandoned and Donkey gets on Shrek's nerves when he interacts with the information board parodying It's a Small World. As they find out, the entire town is watching a competition for who gets to rescue Princess Fiona to be Farquaad's bride. As Shrek arrives, Farquaad has his warriors attack him as the new challange, but Shrek and Donkey wipe the floor with them. Impressed, Farquaad gives them the quest to rescue Fiona, but Shrek explains that he only came to get Farquaad to clean his swamp of the intruders. So Farquaad offers that as a reward should Shrek succeed.

On their way to the Dragon Tower where Fiona is imprisoned, Donkey muses about "our swamp", only for Shrek to remind him that he intends to remain alone. After a travel montage, they make it to the Dragon Tower and Shrek tells Donkey to "watch the stairs" while he rescues Fiona, only for Donkey to stumble right into the Dragon's path. Shrek tries to rush the dragon, but conveniently gets knocked into the highest tower. Shrek tries to evade the desperate Fiona's affection, explaining to her that he has to "save his ass", by which he means Donkey. Upon entering the room where the Dragon keeps her hoard, he finds Donkey trapped in her tail, trying to avoid the Dragon's affection. Shrek "rescues" Donkey by knocking the chandelier onto her (which falls onto her neck and barely slows her down) and he grabs Fiona and bolts out of the castle just as the Dragon destroys the bridge with her fire. Shrek manages to save Donkey from falling into the lava moat, leaving Dragon heartbroken.

In safety, Fiona believes Shrek to be her Prince Charming and warms up to Donkey by calling him a "noble steed", but she remains stubborn when Shrek turns out to be an ogre under his helmet leading to Shrek needing to carry her for a chunk of the way back. When it's getting late, Fiona demands that they set up camp for the night, to which Shrek picks out a cave for her to sleep in while they offer her some privacy. Under the moon, Shrek and Donkey start to bond as Shrek shows Donkey the constellations the ogres made up. Donkey asks what they will do once they get "their" swamp back, to which Shrek replies that he will build a wall to keep others including Donkey out. Donkey questions why he keeps shutting other people out, to which Shrek replies that they do the same thing to him. He laments that him being an ogre, people judge him before they ever bother to get to know him. Donkey confesses that he only ever saw Shrek as a big guy when they first met and actually bothered getting to know him, asking him about constellations featuring donkeys to show how much he cares.

The next morning, as the three of them move on on their quest, Shrek and Fiona are ambushed by "Monsieur Hood" which Fiona fights off, only for Shrek to end up with an arrow stuck in his rear end. Donkey panics believing that Shrek is dying, to the point where Fiona has to send him to find "blue flowers with red spikes" to leave them alone. When Donkey returns with such flowers (after much difficulty), he finds Fiona having fallen into Shrek's arms while she was trying to pull the arrow out and deduces that Fiona was just trying to get rid of him because she wanted to get closer to Shrek (not necessarily true). However, they start considering it after Fiona actually pulls the arrow out of his behind and act rather smitten around each other on their way to an old mill where they rest for the night. However, Donkey's comment about the romantic athmosphere with the sunset causes Fiona to panic and run into the mill, leaving Shrek and Donkey alone once again.

Donkey begins teasing Shrek for having fallen for Fiona, which Shrek completely denies. Donkey ends up leaving Shrek alone to check on Fiona, only to find out that she is under a curse that causes her to turn into an ogre every night. Donkey cheers her up by telling her that Shrek is also an ogre, but Fiona is focused on getting the curse broken, believing nobody will love her when she looks like this. Shrek listens in on their conversation, encouraged after Donkey's words, but he overhears Fiona talking about herself and assumes that she is talking about him. Heartbroken, Shrek ends up losing all trust in Donkey and Fiona and ends up telling Lord Farquaad where she is. Farquaad arrives to collect her the next morning, with Shrek cutting ties with Donkey because he assumed that Donkey was talking about him behind his back.

Shrek returns to his swamp all emptied as Farquaad promised, but the lack of companionship made him realize how miserable he actually is. Upon hearing noises outside, he sees Donkey building a wall out of sticks for him, making a last effort to convince Shrek to let him stay. However, during the ensuing confrontation, Donkey explains that Fiona was not talking about Shrek after all, while keeping the curse a secret. Shrek realizes how foolish he was and plans to crash the wedding, only to realize that they'll never make it before sunset. Donkey ends up calling his girlfriend, Dragon, to hitch a ride and they make it to Duloc with only a few minutes left. Donkey ends up spying on Fiona and Farquaad and tells Shrek how little time he has left, with Shrek dropping Donkey to stop the wedding. With the wedding interrupted, Fiona's curse is revealed to everyone and Farquaad is so disgusted that he intends to kill Shrek right then and there while telling Fiona that he will lock her up again for the rest of her life. Donkey and Dragon arrive just in time to save them, with Dragon swallowing Farquaad whole, allowing Shrek to kiss Fiona and "break" her curse, leaving her stuck as an ogre forever. Shrek calling her beautiful causes her to stop caring about what she looks like and Donkey and Dragon attend Shrek and Fiona's wedding.

Fanon
Shronkey is a very popular crackship, which might not even be that crack. Regardless, it's the second most popular ship for Shrek, after Shriona and even the most popular ship for Donkey, overshadowing Dronkey.
