Braeburn seems like the welcoming type. I doubt ponies really need to stalk him.

Pykrete- what alternate story in the comics?

One of the IDW arcs is a bizarro-verse with evil Celestia and good Sombra. Spoilers below:

Our Celestia has been making frequent trips to see Alternate Sombra over the last thousand years, especially after Luna got banished. It causes a few temporal problems, a lot of princess angst, and...ends badly, to put it charitably. Actually, I think this is the first official story arc in the franchise to end on a bad note.

Obligatory comics aren't too canon anyway. Pick and choose I guess.

@Braeburn and Big M. getting the mares: Well... to say the least, I've grown to be okay with Braeburn. (An X-Com game that had a friendly fire incident involving him aside...)

Anywho, I'm here.

Hey, I'm totally willing to call it canon as long as they don't pull a Marvel and/or DC and turn the series into a clusterfuck of alternate realities. I like when stories aren't afraid to end sour every once in a while, and a couple of the one-off gags throughout can easily be brought back later to twist the Manes' perspective back at home (Alternate Trixie and Chrysalis are apparently both high-ranking good guys, and the next arc seems to be about Trixie). Plus, what happens to Alternate Sombra makes him a considerably more compelling villain than the original.

There's probably a separate group on fimfic dedicated to buffalo clop.

Yeah, Earth and Sky had some Ship Tease between Braeburn and Dash. She's too focused on her career to think about romance for the moment, but she leaves open the possibility of getting with him sometime in the future.

Funny that those two being the respective same-sex shipping magnets have a straight pairing. You can practically see the yaoi and yuri groups up in arms. Then again, our fandom's so diverse in terms of shipping there's no one group big enough to cause any flames, unlike most.

Part of me thinks it was the sheer irony of it that spawned the ship in the first place. I'm certainly no stranger to shipping ponies for reasons other than actual in-show hints.

To be fair, this fandom's fixation with Rainbow Dash isn't all about the lesbians. It's about shipping her with everything. Ev-ery-thing. tongue

Treasure of the West is a Breaburn/Daring fic. And the comic arc... yeah, they really flubbed that one. So many possibility and they tried to use to many of them. Leading to none coming off right.

Except Star Swirl, he was epic.
