Long time Looney Tunes fans may have noticed the tension and constant bickering between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck during their relationship.

It makes sense, Looney Tunes first came out in the 1930's—that's over 90 years together!

Some of those same long-time fans may also have noticed a certain tenderness, the way they fall right in sync with one another when it's time to mess with Elmer, or the fact the pair have moved in together as of more recent iterations of the show.

Shippers—the imaginary relationship kind, not the moving and logistics kind—have had their eyes on this Bugs and Daffy dynamic for ages, but it's never been something Looney Tunes officially addressed.

Until this.

Looney Tunes dropped a quick video on their Instagram detailing some adorable interactions between the two characters—moments like dances, laughs, flirtatious glances.

The caption even called them by their unofficial ship name "Baffy."

Welp ... we suppose Baffy is official now, right?

That's how Instagram is taking it.

And the joy is so real.

The joy may be real for Bugs, Daffy and fans who shipped Baffy as a couple, but this wasn't a happy day for everyone.

In fact, some fan-made accounts took the news pretty hard.

They opted to complain in character... and it got really REALLY awkward.

And homophobic.

And angry.

And seemed to show no understanding of the show.

And at one point they may have been talking to themselves from multiple accounts?

Yeah ... Looney.

So yeah, Bugs and Daffy tried to have an official coming out moment and it got crashed by someone pretending to be Bugs' toxic, obsessive, homophobic ex.

2022 is great.

We seriously doubt "Baffy" will be making any overtly romantic appearances. Looney Tunes is known for more cheeky and playful humor, so we'll likely continue to see more of what we've seen for the last near-century.

Making it "canon" isn't likely to change the dynamic between a pair with such an established history with one another.

Cheers to Bugs and Daffy for finally being able to openly talk about what the shippers have known all along.

Baffy Forever.

Seth Meyers Responds To Trump's 'Truly Deranged' Personal Attack Against Him With Hilarious Takedown

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

People Share The Best Ways To Shut Down A Debate With A Flat Earther Family Member

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
