Trivia
The two own a file each, filled with photos other the other in a maid's dress.
Dave has a pet frog he's names after Jack.
Something is said to have happened to this frog, but what happened is never mentioned.
One of Dave's favourite colours is orange (obviously because it reminds him of Jack). [⭐]
Jack and Dave where friends before DSAF 1, but because Jack looked different and went by a different name at the time, he doesn't realise their the same person.
The two went on a date to Disneyland and dropkicked the Pluto performer while there.
Jack loves Dave back but because he's not used to receiving affection, he doesn't know how to show him that he likes him back [⭐][⭐]
Even though Jack acts annoyed by Dave sometimes, he does like having him around and only acts like he doesn't. [⭐]
Jack and Dave might have had sex with each other while intoxicated. [⭐]
If Legacy Jack tears Dave apart in the DSAF 3 legacy ending, Dave finally “dies” because he’s too scared by Jack's actions to come back, seeing no point in living after being betrayed by him.[⭐]
This is also because he trusted him so much that he didn't even think of Legacy Jack betraying him before he did."Dave, by giving Jack the “gift” of being beartrap, more or less gave Jack the strength to finish him off, because it never occurred to him that Jack could do it. [⭐]
Dave is the only one Jack tells about not being able to go to the afterlife because "up until that point, they were partners in every conceivable way". He felt like he owed Dave the truth, that him and Dave wouldn’t get to spend their ACTUAL eternity together. And because he wanted to give Dave his soul (Blackjack) so Dave wouldn’t have to go alone. [⭐]
Part of the reason why Dave finds comfort in Jack is because he reminds him of his "father", Henry. [⭐]
In DSAF 2, if you go onto the staff computer and click "change user", you can sign into Dave profile. This gives you access to two new files, one called "Diary" where he talks about what Jack's done in the game so far and how much he loves him. It also gives to access to a file called "box" which is just the words "Old Sport" over and over again, until the end where it says "Should I tell him about the box" referencing the box Dave has with a scarf inside which used to belong to Jack's dead sister Dee.
Both of them don't like sauce on their pizza.
When playing the Deliver Cake to the Children mini-game, Dave might appear saying "I'm going to tickle the yellow bear scrotum", which instantly kills Jack.
In DSAF 3, Jack and Dave can buff each other’s ATK/DEF, respectively, to cover each other’s weaknesses. [⭐]
Dave and Jack are made to compliment one another by being polar opposites in a weird inverted way. Dave’s immortality comes from manually repossessing his body, because he can’t let go. He’s alive through sheer determination, whereas Jack’s alive against his will, because he ''can’t'' die.
According to DirectDoggo, the song that best describes Dave and Jack's relationship is Perfect Day by Lou Reed.[⭐]
Jack has a tooth gap because someone (probably Dave) hit him in the face with a handcrank.[⭐]
Dave genuinely believes that is father is an aubergine. Jack is the only one who he's told about this and he also believes it. Neither of them like to think about it or bring it up.
DirectDoggo, has said on his Tumblr blog that he's describe Jack and Dave's ship dynamic as "we're both idiots."
Since both Jack and Dave are zombies, their relationship legally counts as necrophilia on both counts in the DSAF universe. [⭐]
Jack and Dave's relationship is cannonly both platonic and romantic. [⭐]
Jack only killed DaveTrap at the end of DSAF 3's bad ending because Henry manipulated him into doing so.[⭐]

Characters: Izuku Midoria ❤ Katsuki Bakugo
Canonicity: Canon
Orientation: MLM
Trope(s): Rivals to Lovers, Childhood Friends to Lovers, Opposites Attract
The two have known eachother since they were very young, being childhood friends until a missunderstanding on Katsuki's end caused him to develop a one-sided hatred for him, now seeing every nice thing he does as condesending or sarcastic. However, when he gets kidnapped, Izuku is the one to save him and it makes him finally start questioning his opinion of him. When he's stuggling with his mental health to point of a complete breakdown, it's Izuku he asks for help and this is when Izuku finds out about the missunderstasnding. They hash things out and become best friends, spending a lot of time with eachother (sometimes also with Shoto), have lunch together and hang out together outside of school frequently, even going on holiday with eachother on occasion. When Deku is struggling with his mental health, its Katsuki that helps him and in the war afterwards, he kills himself twice for him and is the only one who's shown visiting him in the hospital afterwards. He saves up for 8 years to help him become a hero again and the manga ends with a scene of them holding hands and smiling as adults.
Spinneraki
My Hero Academia
Characters: Shuichi Iguchi ❤ Tomura Shigaraki
Canonicity: Canon?
Orientation: MLM
Trope(s): Coworkers to Lovers
Type: Romantic
Canon Status: One-sided crush (On Shuichi's part)
The two don't get on with each other initially but start to bond over their shared interests in gaming, often playing League of Legends together. Though spending time with him, Shuichi begins to respect Tomura and is the only one who shows concern for him and cheers him on, later on being the only one who can tell Tomura and AFO apart. The two are also shown being close together, like Tomura not reacting to Shuichi biting his hair in the MLA Arc or Tomura asking Shuichi to carry him in the War arc.
During the MLA Arc, Shuichi goes with Machia to look for Tomura and after finding him passed out, tries to frantically wake him up as he carries him away from the fighting. After a while, Shuichi starts calling his name and he finally wakes up, before telling Machia the same order Shuichi gave him earlier.
Shuichi begins to get suspicious of Tomura and AFO's relationship and believes that AFO is mistreating him, which is confirmed to him in the UA Traitor Arc. When he hears screaming coming from Tomura's room, Shuichi goes to check on him, only to see a monstrous mutated body emerging from the shadows, which then transforms back into a passed out Tomura. AFO notices Shuichi's there and tells him not to worry as his recovery is progressing smoothly and it'll stop hurting him soon. Shuichi asks if he's 'Still Tomura', which AFO claims he is. Skeptic later speaks to Shuichi about the large amount of heteromorphs that look up to him. Shuichi tries to say that he's not trying to serve some great cause, but Skeptic says that the common rioters in the street are awaiting his lead and hands him a communication device. Shuichi tells Tomura about this and how he's only here for his sake, to which Tomura encourages him to go through with it and he'll try to help him.
In the Final War Arc, Shuichi fights to free Kurogiri so he can help him get AFO out of Tomura's body and after being freed from AFO's control, Tomura tries to erupt Mt. Fuji to make the flattened horizon Shuichi fantasized about. Later, as Tomura is dying, he thinks about the LOV but mainly Suichi and, as his last words, Tomura asks Izuku to tell Shuichi, "Until the bitter end, Tomura Shigaraki fought for destruction." a line referencing a conversation that Shuichi had with him when he found out about what AFO was doing to him, saying "The Tomura Shigaraki I know would fight for destruction until the bitter end."

In the 2005 Christmas Special, Edd goes to an alternate universe where he doesn't exist. In that universe, Tord and Tom are best friends and shoot porn together. Outside of this however, Tord and Tom have a very one sided friendship in Classic.
In Behind the Scenes, when Tom talks about struggling with alcoholism, it shows that Tord attended the intervention with him to talk about rehab, which seeing as it shows Tord getting attacked by a drunk Tom later in the episode, means that he at least cares enough about him to overlook that and help him anyway. This is probably because Tord also suffers from addiction problems himself (hentai & tobacco). Next, Tord talks in his interview about how he always felt there was tension in the group due to him and Tom fighting a lot, where Tord says even though he and Tom don't always get along, he still considers him a good friend and thinks they're better off now, but Tom calls him an asshole, so the feeling probably isn't mutual. In Spares, Tom and Tord's clones are shown getting on quite well with eachother but in the episode afterwards (25ft Under the Seat) Tord moves out and Tom is thrilled. Tord says goodbye and calls them old friends, Tom claims he is not his friend and Tord rear-ends him with his car (the first time Tord is shown being aggressive towards Tom).
After this, in the Legacy season, Tord comes back and immedietly starts aggravating Tom, showing theres very high tention between the two. The last episode of Legacy ends with Tord trying to kill Tom, which Tom wins and half of Tord's body is severly injured. Tord's shown looking down at the 3 from the cliff with regret, meaning a lot of people see his attempt on Tom's life as impulsive and that he regretted it.
