Good on the owl house crew for straight baiting btw. The wlw ship is built up beautifully over one and a half seasons and throw out the word girlfriend every other sentence in case you forget. The first episode the wlnb ship shows up they make a murder suicide pact and literally the next episode we see them breaking up to confirm theyre exes that definitely canonically dated. The wlm couple gets 4 frames where they stand next to each other, maybe two conversations where they actually bond, and are closer to literally everyone else in their friend group than they are to each other.

If you want to actually show the ship is "good" you need to string everything up on a conspiracy board and ppl will think youre insane (and ppl would be right). But theres like. Enough tender gestures and blushes there that while it doesnt mean anything without good buildup in the plot that it doesnt have, will still leave ppl going all "are they...you know" *mimes a yoyo and baton.*
