I like the pairing, but I don't really see Spike as a child. Honestly, I see Pinkie and Rainbow as more like children. Plus, I'm a Dn D player, so seeing a dragon attracted to a unicorn is par for the course for me.

EDIT: Also, Sweetie Belle's voice actress ships it.

Okay, I hate to reign in on the fairly positive-neutral discussion, but I found out that a long-time family friend of mine is in the hospital and is having major health problems. The Doctors don't know if she's gonna make it or not, and I'm pretty worried about her.sad

but I don't think any of mane 6 are adults. Late teenagers at best.

But Rarity runs her own business and Twilight appears to have gotten the magical equivalent of her PHD?

I have a message from another time...

@Marston: sadSorry to hear that. I'll pray for her.

Thank you.smile Also, it's worth mentioning that a good chunk of her health problems come from the fact that she keeps smoking, even after it got to the point where she had to use an oxygen tank to breath easier. So please also pray that, if she makes it through this, she'll finally quit her smoking habits for good.

Didn't Rarity basically friendzone Spike?

Nnnnoooo ... She actually became more affectionate to him aftr he conessed his love for her.

Now, I don't think she's really returning his feelings at this point, but I think she is keeping an open mind.

I think you quoted the wrong thing.

So, speaking of Shipping, what're you're thoughts on Friend-Ships and Shippers On Deck?

Fixed with a ninja-edit.

Also, there's nothing wrong with those things.

@God of Awesome (Tempted to say Goa for a nickname.): Friend-ships seem all right to me actually. Kinda have one in real life. As for shipper on deck, it depends on if they have their head on their shoulders, and their feet on the ground to me.

Anyways, I'm here, and am wondering what to do, now that I got the USB hub and bluetooth headset workin' proper now.

I always kinda figured, at best, she figured he'd grow out of it eventually and was kinda humouring him? She treats him like a younger brother or cousin, to my eyes.

Depending on Rarity's age, the gap would eventually be negligible - for example an eight or so year difference isn't /that/ bad in the grand scheme of things - but the trouble is the getting there. It's Wife Husbandry, as previously mentioned, at least in theory. If his crush persists on its own merits, well, who knows?

I mean I doubt it. Spike's attraction makes some amount of sense, since he was raised among ponies and knows what constitutes attractive for them; he's learned attraction to ponies. The odds of Rarity finding a reptile attractive, though... still, no accounting for tastes. I could easily see her finding a bit of charm and a lot of muscle attractive. it wouldn't be the first time in media that's gotten chosen over physical oddities.

Also, Shipper on Deck can be funny, but only if the show itself is inclined to acknowledge rtomance. That's the thing: The show proper treats Ship Tease as something for the fans. It doesn't concern itself with real romance at all.

Otherwise Applejack and Rarity would totally be bumping uglies by now anyways.

What would you normally do with a bluetooth headset? I guess you can chat with people on the microphone now.

@Yeller: I'd like to keep what I hear a little private, and be able to not trip over a cord, which is a problem I frequently have with corded headsets.

Anyways, had an odd dream where science went horrendously wrong, and I was made into a love-energy-esque pony (For those who know of Commander Keen, the Shikadi would be a good idea of what happened, only more equinoid, as opposed to humanoid.) Didn't help Chrysalis was in the vicinity when the incident happened, yet she didn't get zapped.

Well, actually, I mean in fanfiction.

A blatant Shipper on Deck, shipping for the sake of shipping, just seeing any old random pairing...

Hiiilarious

Edit: Also, my nickname in other places has generally been 'Goa'.

I would have gone with God. Though that might get confusing if it's mistaken for profanity.

There's a story behind the name, and it's enduring habit of mine, but that's the confusing price I pay for sticking with it.

Doesn't everyone have a story behind their names? I suppose sometimes it's just something you randomly picked, but usually there's some inspiration.

Does anyone know where I can find episodes of Season Four at? I've searched Youtube but I can't find anything beyond Castle Mane-ia.

Weird. I remember watching the CMC episode on Youtube, but it may have been taken down. Have you tried Vimeo?
