Jatie

Katie x Jade is the femslash ship between Katie Mitchell and Jade from the The Mitchells vs. the Machines fandom.

Canon
Katie is an aspiring film student whose dream is to go to film school. When she gets accepted into film school in California, she meets Jade, who is part of the other film school students that Katie regularly video-chats with. As soon as they talk at the beginning of the movie, Jade mentions she has seen Katie's videos online, that she thinks are amazing, which shows just how much she cares about Katie and her passions. Katie also gets excited when Jade talks about her love of Robo Slayers 4, because loves the movie as well but often doesn't find people who do.

After Katie gets into a big fight with her dad, she tells him that that's why she's excited to leave for college the day after, for orientation week. So the next day, she gets up from bed, all excited, and when she checks her group chat with her other film student friends, she sees a message from Jade. Jade tells her to hurry since she already saved a spot for Katie in their dorm. This makes Katie smile softly. And when Jade sends a dog meme telling Katie to see each other later, as Katie replies, little hearts accompany her tapping. When she gets out of her house, her dad is already waiting outside, for them to go on a family road trip. When he tells Katie that he cancelled her college plane ticket, Katie gets shocked and disappointed, as she tells her dad that she was really excited to go to college to meet all her friends, and then, she also mentions there's a really cool girl she likes, referring to Jade, that Katie says she has a lot in common with. When they end up going on the trip anyways, Katie tries to get in contact with her friends in college, and with Jade, as much as she can. Jade video chats her at night as well to know how she's doing, and to compliment the filming she's been doing on the road.

After Katie and her family stop the robot apocalypse, she goes to college for the first time, to meet all her friends, and Jade. Some months after this, Katie is shown to be getting really close to Jade, who now invites her to join her and their friend group to the Slip 'N Slide. Katie agrees to go with a smile and gets on a video call with her mom. Katie's mom starts asking her a series of questions before asking her: "are you and Jade official, and will you bring her home for Thanksgiving?" Which shows her parents support of their relationship. Furthermore, during the official release by Sony Pictures Animations of an advice session with the robots, Eric and Deborahbot5000, from the movie, Jade and Katie were officially confirmed to be dating. After a fan asks the robots about the video Katie made to ask a girl named Chloe to be her prom date, the robots say "Katie is now happily with Jade, who I really like for her."

Fanon
is the more popular ship in the The Mitchells vs. the Machines fandom. This ship is loved by most of the fandom because it's deemed by many fans as positive LGBT+ representation in the animation genre. In fact, Katie is Sony Pictures Animation's very first original female protagonist and first LGBTQ+ lead. Since the movie confirms they are dating, many fanfictions are about how their daily life as girlfriends in college would be. Some even explore their lives in the future, getting married and even forming their own family. Fanarts also portray the two dating and being overly lovely with one another.
