Blossoomer

Blossoomer is the het ship between Boomer and Blossom Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls fandom.

Canon
Blossom and Boomer first meet in Season 1 of the classic series, episode “The Rowdyruff Boys” where Mojo Jojo decides to create evil counterparts of the Powerpuff Girls with snips, snails, and puppydog tails, Boomer is the evil male counterpart to Bubbles. In this episode the Powerpuff Girls try to take down the Rowdyruff Boys by beating them up, but fail. Ms. Bellum gives the girls advice after their loss, telling them the way to defeat the boys is by being “nice”. After this, the Powerpuff Girls kiss the Rowdyruff Boys which leads the boys to being so grossed out they explode. Unfortunately, Blossom and Boomer do not have any direct interactions in this episode.

They meet again in episode 6 of Season 5, “The Boys Are Back in Town”. The Rowdyruff Boys are brought back in this episode, except by HIM instead of Mojo Jojo. Upon seeing that the Rowdyruff Boys have returned, the Powerpuff Girls start bickering with them. Not long after, Boomer says “You girls are gonna eat your words, spit ‘em out, and eat ‘em again!” Which Blossom replies, “That doesn’t even make sense..” Boomer then replies with “I know you are, but what am I?” Their interaction is cut off by Buttercup after. The Powerpuff Girls then remember how they defeated the boys last time by kissing them, leading them to form the same plan this time around. Unbeknownst to the girls, HIM had injected the boys with a cootie vaccination so their kisses only ended up making the boys stronger. The episode ends with the girls realizing they needed to insult the boys toxic masculinity in order to defeat them.

Blossom and Boomer have one more short direct interaction after this. In episode “Bubble Boy” episode 10 of Season 5, Boomer steals a bag of candy from a kid after Brick sent him to do so, he shouts out “Jawbreaker!” Blossom then says “You called?” As the Powerpuff Girls appear right in front of him. Unfortunately, Blossom and Boomer do not have any interactions outside of the listed ones above.

Fanon
Blossoomer is one of the more lesser popular PPG x RRB ships within the fandom. While the ships that Blossoomer is commonly shipped aside by, Brickercup and Butchubbles, are more popular within the community, Blossoomer seems to lack the same staggering popularity that both ships have reached.

Many Blossoomer fans like it because of the surface-level “smart x dumb” dynamic, though there are also many fans who think that dynamic waters down what Blossoomer potentially could be if they were to be more fleshed out. Boomers fanon perception is that of one who is sort of mischievous and reckless, someone who wants Blossoms attention but doesn’t quite know how to get it in an appropriate way. Blossom is always more stoic and un-reacting to Boomers antics, always thinking of him as childish or as a nuisance. A lot of people like how Blossoomer while still being very much opposites, still have enough characteristics that could lead them to be friends or possibly even lovers. A very common fan-work trope for this pairing is Blossom agreeing to tutoring Boomer, and helping him assure himself through school.

This pairing is a small enough ship to where there aren’t a lot of haters for it, but some people still claim that they are too unfit for eachother and would not get along. There are also some people who view their dynamic as more “sibling like” than romantic.
