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!

Chrysalis, and Trixie.
Nah, that one actually makes perfect sense. Chryssie can just take the form of Trixie, and feed off Trixie's narcissism...

Oh my princess. There's no telling how powerful that could make Chrysalis. They'd be unstoppable!

Fluttermac is honestly kinda odd to me. Having two shie ponies that don't usually say much and like to keep to their homes doesn't sound very conducive to a workable relationship.

Though for pure wtf I've seen Vinyl/Iron Will.

Fluttermac doesn't do anything for me, either. Not to say I don't think the relationship could be perfectly workable, just that it seems too one-note. I mean, the primary difference between the two is that Big Mac is self-confidant and Fluttershy isn't. Otherwise, they're way too similar to each other. I like both of them better with a more extroverted/energetic partner; it just opens up a lot more scenarios and opportunities for playing off one another. Flutterceps or Pinkiemac, for example.

I still need to find time to write that Rarity/Iron Will crackfic one of these days.

@Dark: I tried one of those relationships when I was younger, and yeah... it doesn't work well. Relationships need communication.

I would say... Hoops X Dumbbell, probably.

How could you? 3:

As for crack ships, Trixie and Cheese from that one blog strikes me as pretty odd.

I would love to see an older Spike and Rarity get together.

If they're capable of opening up with each other, or they're both really good at that non-verbal communication, then a relationship could work. But yeah, relationships need communication, so if neither party can open up, then it's doomed from the start.

Well, to answer my own question, I think one of the weirdest ships I've seen is Blueblood and Big Macintosh. (Big M, if you're seeing this post, I assure you I did not make that ship!)

Keyword here is older. As is it feels like foalcon.

@Keg. Same. You know I've never seen Pinkieshy yet in a fic. Odd, that one would be interesting.

FlutterBulk > FlutterMac

Weirdest I ever saw was a fan fic with Twilight/Iron Will. Though the thought of Cheese Sandwich/Maud crossed my mind a few nights ago.

I'm getting the impression that shipping Iron Will with anypony automatically makes it a crack ship.

Clearly this means the ultimate crack ship is shipping Iron Will with himself!

Iron Will x Mirror OTP.

The issue for me isn't so much that Spike's too young, it's that his crush on her is just that: a crush. He worships the ground she walks on regardless of what she does or how she acts, and that's not a healthy relationship dynamic.

Of course, that's not to say that their relationship couldn't develop into a healthy one, but it's not there yet, and I'm not particularly looking to see it developed there. I'd rather just see Spike grow out of it and start being interested in other ponies/dragons/whatever.

[up] I'd be a smartass, cross out Iron Will and put in Discord, but this is a crackshipping conversation.

[up][up]Aside from the age issue, the #1 reason I'm not a fan of Spike/Rarity is exactly that. His infatuation with her is just that: an infatuation. In the first episode he immediately develops feelings for her based solely on her looks. Granted, she's also nice and a good person, but Spike's crush doesn't seem to be based on any real appreciation for her personality. He just follows her around despite the fact that they have almost nothing in common and don't have any real interaction to them.

Also weirdest ship: Mr. Cake / Mrs. Cake. Insanity. tongue

It doesn't help you guys are tempting me to write a fic with one of those odd ships... (I wonder if I should go with Soarin' and Zecora together, or some other ship.)
