It’s a good thing that we don’t do the “coming up with snappy portmanteaus for conspicuously popular intersections of fandoms” thing these days, because otherwise we’d have to figure out how to mash together the names of Infinity Train, Owl House, and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

i think this leaves out older shows that this same larger fandom followed too, like adventure time, gravity falls, steven universe, and yes, even bee and puppycat
there is like, a Heritage to speak to
also over the garden wall; that goes w/o saying (and yes, kipo and the age of wonderbeasts & little witch academia, which others so rightly pointed out)
Well, yes – and likewise, Supernatural, Dr. Who, and Sherlock weren’t the only pieces of media that defined the Superwholock complex, merely three of the most prominent ones.
I picked Infinity Train, Owl House and She-Ra as representative examples mostly because:
a. they happened to be prominent at the time of posting;
b. their respective fandoms have a tighter overlap than some of the other cited examples (the greater portion of the Adventure Time fandom isn’t part of this particular fandom complex, for example); and
c. every possible portmanteau of those three particular titles is objectively hilarious.
Infinite Owl Princess has the feel of an Exalted name.
You think it’s a cool metaphorical epithet for like a Night Caste Solar, but it’s actually a completely literal epithet for a Lunar who’s developed a novel upgrade to Locust-and-Starling Legion to shapeshift into an arbitrary number of owls.
