I mostly ship with background ponies. Like these two.◊

I am with JT on this one. Interaction (And art) is much more important to me than how well it would work in the canon.

Noone knows

My shipping preferences tend to start as whatever the first pairings I find, then they shift to the more popular ones. By the time I reach my final choices I tend to focus on pairings barely anything exists for.

In theory that's sound. In practice it...

Fuck it, I'm reading chapter two of The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle.

I like Rainbow Pie.

And Twixie.

I've never understood the appeal of shipping background ponies with zero established character. At least Derpy or Lyra/Bon Bon have a generally accepted characterization to work with.

dang, I slept through the big milestone.

It was mostly discussions about Gilda and Trixie

Because it's cute.

Honestly, that's the only reason any ships exist at all. Because of "cute" or "lulz."

Flutterpie is pretty amusing (If a bit high on the HNNNG factor)

I like Twixie for comedic purposes. If a fanfic author went the entire route of writing the damn thing I would love to see that I enjoy Dash Pie Twilight for sheer insanity and they look darn cute together

Twidash is good if it doesn't go down a certain old overtraveled plot point.

And now I have ideas for Raripie. Pinkinsanity ensues.

@Pannic Okay this me if you only ship something because of cuteness or lulzy why do you give a shit about Twixie?

I'm not much for spicy foods. My favorite type is Fudge Pie.

OC Stand In.

And Steve, what pplotpoint is that? RD being injured?

So, is putting Twixie in spoiler brackets a Running Gag now?

Bond. Spike Bond.◊

D'awwwwwwww.◊

Windy mane Twilight.◊

Miss Rarity, are you trying to seduce me?◊

@Story RD being motherfucking injured.

Yeah, well I'm a bit of a canon-whore so canon reasons for liking each other is by far the most important thing for me. I don't care who's drawn good art of it. And interesting interaction only matters to me for crack. I want them to be happy and I ship according to what I think canon (or headcanon) says will make them happy.

Also, apparently there'sa Diamond Tiara/Fancy Pants pairing. ?!

Because annoying, overdone, and flies in the face of characterizations.

But yeah. I'll contradict myself and go with Sereg.

We as a fandom need to change our image so that people don't call us autists. Seriously, enough is enough. The reason that trolls do what they do isn't for attention, it's because they legitimately hate us. We need to stop bringing up clopping. We need to stop shoving the fucking show in everyone's faces during the worst possible times. Hell, we could just move all the YouTube videos to another site exclusively for them, so we won't be bothered as much. We need to stop making absolutely stupid things in Steam Workshop. The sooner we make ourselves respectable, the sooner the haters will go away.

Not only that, but the pony-exclusive sites need quality control, so the less talented fanworks can improve in the background, where the trolls can't find them.

I swear Dash gets shipped with everypony.

Except Rarity. I've never seen Raribow.

I really don't think they give a shit. They'll call us autists or fags no matter what we do.

I'd endorse general acting more mature, though.

@Steve:"If a fanfic author went the entire route of writing the damn thing I would love to see that I enjoy Dash Pie Twilight for sheer insanity and they look darn cute together".

That sums up why Dash/Pinkie/Twilight is my OT3. A fanfic based on the idea would be hilarious. Along with the fact that OT3's tend to solve shipping wars and because I'm a Twipie fan, a Twidash fan and a Dashiepie fan in general.

@Purple:Really? I've seen quite a bit of Raridash.

@Gex What? No. I think you are misinterpreting the meat of the problem here.

Who gives a shit about a silly skyrim mod? Sure it may attract attention and not look that good but that is a quality (And taste) issue than a LULZ BRONY AUTISTS. Other examples work too.

Here's one just for you Gex.

Wasn't that already a dead horse a year ago?
