I don't really approve of GirlXGirl things

D=Not even Lyra and Bon Bon?But everypony loves Lyra and Bon Bon!

[Bfahome]

Flutterdash is the only pairing.The only one.

[~Allegretto~]

^^What about LunaxAbacus? IT'S THE BEST!

...What?

Dash gave Fluttershy a look when they picked up the cloth to save Rarity and Spike, and some ponies interpreted that as potential FlutterDash.:ponyshrug: I didn't really see it though. Maybe as friendshipping, considering how long they've known each other, but nothing much more.

I see it more as a roommate thing, with Bonbon being interested in Lyra but Lyra either being attracted to guys or not noticing at all, similar to how Rarity was with Spike. I guess I just think it's funnier that way Edited December 14, 2011 by --Calamity--

Quote for truth. The one and only truth.

[Rarity]

... Oh...That's kinda stupid. Saying looking at each other means love.

I don't really approve of GirlXGirl things

Personally I only hate girlxgirl when it really isn't possible. Twixie is one of those times, why because both are pretty much enemies. Now don't get wrong I don't hate it as much as DracoxHarry and Twixie can be done well, but if I see Twixie or RarityxRainbow Dash (does anyone even ship that) I avoid it.

It's not just the glances though. It's the whole "I'm racing fro Fluttershy's honor" thing, not to mention how uncharacteristically excited Fluttershy was when Dash made the Rainboom, and when she wanted a pet.This is the kind of details a shipper like me takes out somewhat out of context in order to have a case.

I pretty much agree with your points here; unless someone has a really good reason for Twixie or RariDash, I don't really buy it. And that's an important part of a shipfic IMO, believability of the ship.(this would be a really good time for that "most realistic ship" pic but I can't find it aldfjow;agnk;)

Unrealistic/Random ships are dumb regardless of the sexuality of those shipped. That has nothing to do with it at all.

[Sumiki]

RarityxRainbow Dash (does anyone even ship that)

Rainbow Dash is shipped with everything.No exceptions.

[Rarity]

I'm pretty sure she'd get excited like that for any of her friends, and why wouldn't she want to give another pet a home?

Because I said so.I said so is why.And also because like I said, these details are overanalyzed for the purposes of shipping.

[~Allegretto~]

RarityxRainbow Dash (does anyone even ship that)

Rainbow Dash is shipped with everything.No exceptions.

I remember there was a picture that shipped Dash with a kitchen sink. (Y'know, "everything but the kitchen sink?")

[Rarity]

...weirdo. jk-ishSo, are there any famous bronies?

[dotcom]

...weirdo. jk-ishSo, are there any famous bronies?

Eurobeat Brony?Cupcakes author?

[Eeko]

...weirdo. jk-ishSo, are there any famous bronies?

I believe the mind behind Minecraft is a brony.

[~Allegretto~]

I think Shad means famous outside the fandom.So Stephen Colbert, Bill Clinton, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ah Calamity I was gonna say that. I remember that picture back when the majority of fans were mostly male (I'm statistician so don't qoute me)

...weirdo. jk-ishSo, are there any famous bronies?

Jacob Minkoff, the lead designer of the critically acclaimed Uncharted series.Bill Clinton possible (please keep topic on Ponies)The guys who run the MLPFiM fan site There's probably more but I'm just too lazy to look.

[Rarity]

I already knew about Clinton, but Ahnold? whoa.

[~Allegretto~]

Joking. There's a guy on a video sharing site that makes profiles of ponies basically, detailing fanon, and people thought he sounded like Arnold, so they started calling him that.

[Toa of Dancing]

It can get more than shady... It can get freakin messed up! :PEspecially certain pairs. >.<Seriously, pairing Snips, or Snails, with anypony should be a sin.

Fix'dBut I don't see a problem with shipping. I'm okay with FlutterMac and TwiMac, and FlutterPie and RainbowPie if it's done right (Ask Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie <3). Lyra and Bonbon I don't ship, though; I find Lyra being completely oblivious to Bonbon's advances a lot funnier. :POctavia, however, is harder to pinpoint... she doesn't really seem like a match for Vinyl like everypony says (although the Ask Octavia canon may just be ingrained in my head).

…No comment.

Don't tell me this isn't adorable.

Sure, it is. But it isn't flat-out homosexual. I hug other guys. I've shared a drink with my brother. But I am sure as anything not homosexual.Topic change: Cupca- *shot*Real topic change: So the weather's nice, huh?Real topic change: So, anyone on here writing any good fics?

I knew about Stephen Colbert, and I heard a radio talkshow regarding ponies and Clinton. Edited December 14, 2011 by Toa of Dischordant Dancing

[Sumiki]

Real topic change: So, anyone on her writing any good fics?

Assuming you mean "here", I've often wondered how Doctor Whooves would handle the Cutie Mark Crusaders. As of yet I haven't found a fic like that, and all but a few major plot points and details are in flux, but I STILL LAY CLAIM TO IT. I'll probably get around to writing it eventually.

[Lyichir]

C'mon now; don't count poor Snips and Snails out of the picture. They could grow up to be beautiful stallions... someday... maybe?I don't have a problem with the idea of shipping in MLP. It's not really like in Bionicle, where it wasn't feasible (and I'm even one of the ones who thinks there's nothing wrong with shipping in Bionicle, as platonic relationships can still be considered "ships"). In MLP, we know for a fact that romance exists; there are obviously parents with children, and Rarity herself hoped to find true love at the Gala (although that really didn't work out for her). Rarity and Spike is practically canon (although how two-sided it is is up for debate). And I don't have a problem with same-sex ships, just as I don't have a problem with same-sex relationships in real life. That said, there are no real ships involving the Mane six that I recognize, except for of course Rarity and Spike.

[Keizah the Kaleidoscope]

I have no problem with homosexual pairings in MLP, not only because I think homophobia is stupid and pointless, but because all male characters in the show are annoying, boring or plain dumb. The only exceptions are Discord, who is Discord, and Spike, who is a baby.Anyways I don't *really* ship ponies in any serious fashion or read fanfiction, but FlutterDash is the best possible thing.

Sigh, lets get this out of the way. Homophobia refers to people who openly resent and/or protest against homosexuals. What is not homophobia is saying that one has moral reservations about homosexuality, or simply saying that it isn't entertaining for them.Love and tolerance, guys.

...I kinda want to read a Photo Finish x Hoity Toity (HoityFinish? PhotoToity?) ship fic now.

[Protodite Karzahni]

Bah, I grow weary of ships. I enjoy sinking them more than anything. *Evil grin*

[Bfahome]

Yeah, ponies are in the Equus genus anyway.e: WELP, there goes the context for that pun

[ZTG]

So anywho, who thought Twilight was related to Celestia when they saw the first episode?

[Writ]

I'm not a homophobe; it just doesn't agree with me. Let's put it this way: they like heavy metal, I like classical. *Shrug* Just different preferences, however much I disagree with it, I can't force them to change, and I'm against forcing change anyways. Moving on…I didn't. I did a little reading up on it before I watched, though, so I knew what the mane 6's names were and a few other things. I just assumed Twilight Sparkle was just a student. *Shrug*

[Makaru]

Guys, this isn't moral and ethics discovery time. It's a topic about a show about ponies.Let's move on.

Anywho…What do you guys think of Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor? Honestly, I can't wait to see what their role is about. And why there are more than 2 Alicorns in Equestria.

[Angel Beat]

Speaking of blankets...I still want this one, though small it might certainly be.

They have potential to be awesome, or fail. I'm betting on awesome.I don't have any ponies yet. Not show-accurate enough.

But Writ, they like poser metal. :PAnyway...Is the author of cupcakes really gonna be at BroNYCon?

Either relatives of Celestia/Luna, or rulers of another country. Maybe both.I can't see anything other scenario working out.

Oh, but reading too much into things is what I do best! :PAnywho, I always try not to avoid speculating on characters before they debut. Unless they happen to be Discord, Luna, Prince Blueblood, Dinky Hooves, Carrot Top/Golden Harvest, Lauren Faust's personal character....oh who am I kidding, I speculate about everypony.

Eh, Bill Clinton getting those MLP questions right was pretty funny, but I hardly think that makes him a fan of the show. The questions he was given (regarding cutie marks, Rarity and Nightmare Moon) were pretty easy ones that were rather logical choices when you consider the other options (prompt me and I can list the questions and answers)Also, on the subject of fan-fics, I will admit I've been envisioning a Doctor Who crossover where the 11th Doctor (with Amy and Rory) find a cross-universe route to the MLP universe, land the TARDIS in Twilight's basement, end up meeting Doctor Whooves (who I would think of as a Time Lord who got lost there long ago) and have to deal with some bad guys from the Doctor Who universe who try to take over Equestria. I think it sounds cool, but seeing as I am not a Doctor Who fan, I don't really want to try writing it in fear of massively misintrepeting the Doctor Who canon.Also, by matter of personal preference, I wouldn't transform the Doctor Who characters into ponies when they manifest in Equestria. I don't like to think that would happen automatically upon entering their world (Doctor Whooves just became a pony due to regeneration mumbo-jumbo).
