📔 (someone) is endgame


📋Meaning
slang In fandom, the idea that a particular romantic couple (or potential romantic couple) is meant to be together (and, in the context of a fictional work, that one thinks should be in a relationship when the work ends). The term is usually used by fans who are very invested in the pairing. Often, a portmanteau of the characters' names precedes the verb, which is singular (despite alluding to multiple people).

🤔For example ⬇️

🗣Although Jackson and April on Grey's Anatomy had a rocky relationship over the years, Japril is still endgame for many fans.

🗣Klaine was always endgame to me, so I'm not surprised they ended up together on Glee.

🗣Really, Daenerys and Jon Snow were endgame for you? I guess I just didn't see it.
