BoyGirl

BoyGirl is the het ship between Boyfriend and Girlfriend from the Friday Night Funkin' fandom.

Canon
Boyfriend and Girlfriend are an official couple, with the challenges of their relationship being the main focus of their game. They are very affectionate with one another and are never seen apart. Boyfriend cares very much about Girlfriend to the point that he is willing to challenge her parents and multiple opponents just so that he can be with her, and Girlfriend in turn has extreme faith in him. PhantomArcade (one of their creators) has stated that they could not survive without one another and would die without each other. He also stated that it would be impossible to hypnotize/mind-control them into not loving each other as it is "pretty much the only thing that occupies their minds."

Boyfriend considers Girlfriend to be very beautiful, often praising her appearance. Girlfriend is constantly supporting Boyfriend in every rap battle he engages in and even gives him emotional support when he loses by holding his hand, which is enough to give Boyfriend the strength to retry. Girlfriend is also fond of teasing Boyfriend and playing pranks on him, such as tricking him into believing she is pregnant, but is quick to reassure him if the joke is taken too seriously.

Boyfriend often expresses his more carnal feelings toward Girlfriend, which her father is trying to prevent him from acting on with little success. The two have very passionate feelings toward one another and do not let anything get in the way of their relationship, be it a pair of disapproving parents or a psychotic monster. Though they are both very unintelligent, their steadfast loyalty to one another has never failed them.

In the game

 * In the tutorial level, Girlfriend guides Boyfriend while rapping and encourages him by saying "That's how you do it!"
 * In Stress, the second song in Week 7 (the current seventh level in the game), Girlfriend is knocked off of the speaker she usually sits on but is quickly caught by Boyfriend. They briefly hug each other and Boyfriend holds Girlfriend in his arms while facing off against his opponent Tankman.

In the comics

 * In "GF plays a prank" Girlfriend shows her more mischievous side by pranking Boyfriend with a fake pregnancy test, but quickly drops the act after seeing Boyfriend faint from shock.
 * In "GF helps BF revive" Girlfriend holds Boyfriend's hand in order to revive him after losing a rap battle to Senpai.
 * In "Winter Time Lovin'" Girlfriend gazes lovingly at Boyfriend when he offers to ice skate with her on an ice rink; the two hold hands before slipping and falling on the ice at the same time.
 * In "Smile Good, Boyfriend!" the pair are seen playing video games at Girlfriend's house. Believing that Boyfriend was frightened by a jumpscare in the game, Girlfriend comforts him and kisses him on the cheek (much to her father's annoyance). Additionally, when seeing a Boyfriend Nendoroid figurine, Girlfriend stares at it with endearment and puts it in her mouth.

Fanon
BoyGirl is the most popular ship in the Friday Night Funkin' fandom. Though many fans depict their relationship differently, they are generally seen as a wholesome and loving ship with some humorous moments.

While shipping has somewhat died down in the fandom as of 2023, during 2021-2022 BoyGirl's most notable rival ship was (and still is) Pico x BF. The two ships were subject to frequent ship wars with Girlfriend or Pico portrayed as antagonists in fan works of either ship. On AO3, Pico/BF is currently slightly more popular than BF/GF, it doesn't help that Pico and Boyfriend are confirmed to be exes. Some try to avoid ship wars by pairing all three of them in a poly relationship.

Within the modding community, which forms the bulk of the Friday Night Funkin' fanbase, a common theme is to introduce OCs who try to win the affection of one of them. Most of these are purely fanon, but some of them have devoted fanbases. Boyfriend is frequently shipped with Sky, a fan-created fangirl of his who hates Girlfriend. Girlfriend is frequently shipped with Carol, a character who was initially created to replace her in a mod, but fans liked the idea of them being best friends, the ship appears to be a side-ship for Boyfriend/Sky.
