I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Why boring though? If there's not much going on with the pair, what's the point of shipping anypony at all Sereg?

I like to put Shippers On Deck in my fanfics with the Ship-ees being weirded out by the whole thing.

BTW, y'all are weird but I like it.

Pinkie is too childlike for me to seriously think about her in a relationship with anypony.

I think she could get into one. But it would be done childishly y'know.

Twipie and Flutterdash are ones I just can't get behind. They sound too unhealthy to me.

Well there's stuff like Feeling Pinkie Keen.

But it's more like an Odd Couple.

I think Rarity could have the patience to deal with Pink's energy.

But Rainbow Pie is by far the most plausible. Just look at Wonderbolts Academy.

Eh, I just don't see it. At best, that's just one-sided affection from Pinkie, and even then I'd argue that she'd be acting like that if any of her friends were in Rainbow's position.

I just think Pinkie's too polyamorous to be in a relationship with just one pony, barring somepony like JT's ponified Andrew WK entering the picture.

anyone else still ship Big Macintosh x Cheerilee?

Pah, canon shipping is so unimaginative. The real insanity of shipping is when you start pulling stuff like Zutara.

I don't ship normally at all because I just don't see romance when I watch things, but Rainbow<>Fluttershy is still a thing I will jokingly support.

I don't ship either, but I like to joke about it.

Mac x Cherilee isn't canon, it's just suggested. It's equally plausible that they were trolling the CMC at the end of Hearts and Hooves Day, and the picnic they were going off to in [I forget which episode] was strictly platonic. I take them at their word that they're just good friends.

I don't ship for me, I ship for the characters. Why would anyone want extra conflict in their love lives? (Crack pairings are an exception)

Felling Pinkie Keen is an exact example of why I think Twilight would be miserable in a relationship with Pinkie.

EDIT: I still ship Big Mac x Cheerilee.

Oh yeah I've heard about the Katara and Zuko shippers, they are nasty little buggers aren't they? And I wonder if Korra being paired up with Mako in Legend of Korra was a comprise to all the shippers that wanted Katara and Zuko to be the official couple.

@Star: It's not a far stretch of the imagination. But if so, boy, they must have been pissed when they broke up and their Zuko stand-in went back to Mai 2.0. :P

I could see Pinkie being an Ethical Slut, but it's just hard to wrap my mind around her being in a committed relationship.

And yet Lyra/Bon Bon is so common and focused on the their relationship, while Lyra tends to be portrayed just as excitable and childlike as Pinkie.

[down] I WISH Mako was Zuko 2.0 He'd be a lot more bearable that way.

@Wryte That's what I can only assume considering Mako is pretty much Zuko 2.0 and Korra's Katara 2.0.

On Lyra and Bonbon- I really like this ship. The way I see it in my head is, Lyra is great at friendship and having fun, but when it comes to love she's incredibly awkward. She Cannot Spit It Out and is struggling to be more than friends with Bonbon because she doesn't know how to express herself.

Meanwhile, Bonbon finds Lyra to be kinda weird, but funny and a great friend. Will they hook up in my story when I eventually write it? Yes, but it'll take a while.

@Bluespade Except without the backstory, character development, he's a bland character, he's a jerk towards Asami and cares more about Korra even though he dumped her, he's a bland character and I can't stand him and did I not mention he's a bland character? (Sighs)

Ugh, Lyra and Bon Bon, yet another thing to add to my growing pile of things I hope to write. Damn it, I wish I knew why I find it so hard to write in the first place.
