I'm woundering, does anyone have any good christmas pony pictures? I want to find some but don't have the time to look right now.
I prefer AJ/Rarity, myself.
Strangely, the only pairing I really like among the girls is AJ/Rarity. I ship Fluttershy with Mac, but I don't really think I have any other optimal pairings for the girls.
Can you think inside the chimney?
I've honestly never cared much for shipping anything, as pushing a character's relationship from "good friends" to "lovers" creates a lot of baggage as far characterization goes. I would much rather work with canon characterizations than fanon ones tweaked enough to create a romantic relationship. Background ponies aren't so much of a problem in my book though, as their characters are almost entirely fanon as it is. I still wouldn't personally ship them, but there is at least justification for doing so.
I'm with you, Lurker. Since you've been here for a while, I assume, you're familiar with my opinion that it would just unbalance the girls' dynamic - not to mention that there's no subtext in the show itself aside from what we jaded, perma-shipping-goggles tropers interpret. I don't think Applejack and Rarity would do well together at all - for one, I peg Rarity as 95% straight at least - but their personalities complement each other quite well, largely because they're intended as foils of each other. It's that complement that makes them fun to ship.

I'm only into cannon ships. Oh and ice breakers. Ice breakers are awesome.
^^^Fran, I'm... slightly disturbed to say that my views on inter-main six shipping are rather like the last quote you posted. In a good way, though.

Big Mac/Zecora.
Can think outside the box, inside the chimney and would really like a Tylenol, thanks.
I should also note that I tend to sort my ships into "fun" and "actually likely". Stuff like AJ/Rarity or Twilight/Pinkie are in the former category, which is strictly a "wouldn't it be interesting if this happened?" sort of thing. The only ships that I would seriously back in canon are Lyra/Bon Bon and maybe Fluttermac. Outside of that I have no "serious" pairings.
