A term often used to describe two characters in a movie, TV series, books etc. who have great chemistry and are often put together in scenes and share 'intimate moments' (like giving each other heart eyes, hugging, hands touching...) but writers have no real intention to make them a couple. Like ever.
" Have you seen The 100? I am currently on season 1 and it seems like a great TV show. Can't wait until Bellamy and Clarke become a thing."
" Don't bother, showrunners don't intend of making them a couple, they are only shipbaiting the fans."
"But they have so much chemistry!"
"Tell that to the showrunners."

Get the shipbaiting mug.
A term best described as adding 'out of character' behaviour and lines to the characters and unnecessary plot twists for the sake of drama and shock value. Exc. Game of Thrones S8.
"We kind of forgot about good writing and logic so we decided to subvert expectations this season because, you know, shock value."
