What MLP romantic pairings do you like/dislike the most? Rules are:>keep the horny levels dialed back, that ain't the point of this thread>can be canon or non-canon>pedos can go fuck off to another thread, thanks in advance <3>no your answer cannot be "i ship me myself with all the pretty pony ladies"I thought Sugar Belle was the best partner for Big Mac, they have good chemistry. I don't like Discord and Celestia mostly because the show depicts him as way too much of a selfish manchild, and I think she'd be massively turned off by people like that.
I don't like Spike x Rarity, but there aren't many other options to ship either character with someone else. Spike x Ember? No. Has Rarity actually shown interest in anyone other than spike and blueblood?
The only reason Spike x Rarity is a thing in the first place is because dragons like gemstones and Rarity has gemstones on her ass. It was a joke, they don't actually work together.It feels like Ember was explicitly designed to be a replacement for whenever Spike got over his puppylove for Rarity. It feels like they took the light blue diamonds on Rarity's ass that Spike was entranced by and made a whole dragoness out of it complete with diamond-shaped scales
>>41829342CheeriMac FTW.
Why does Big Mac go for unicorns?
>>41829592>they don't actually work together.True.Spike X Twilight works much better.
Anon x mares
>>41829842>muh anon
>>41829850yes
Trixie x Glimglam is a stupid ship. Glimbert should be with her best friend, Sunburst, instead. She's so obviously obsessed with the guy.
>>41829592im really high rn and this is blowing my mind. i feel dumb for not catching the joke sooner than this
>>41829452I don't care if she raised him. I'm for TwiSpike forever and always.
>>41830746Okay that works, but only if they spend a very long time being immortal away from each other, and later reconnect as different, stronger, and wiser people. If they do that it'd be kino. Before that though, they have more of a sibling relationship. Adorable, but to make it romantic makes it gross.
>>41829342I ship myself with all the pretty pony fillies
>>41829342rarijack has always been the worst ship in the show. it is exclusively shipped by two kinds of people: Applefags and the lobotomized.
>>41831089I'm not sure you know what an Applefag is.
Cute
they kissed... (/ω＼)
>>41830779>Before that though, they have more of a sibling relationship. Adorable, but to make it romantic makes it gross.Dude, they're living together as they're both going through puberty. No way Spike didn't at least jerk it to Twilight and perhaps also the other way around.
>>41830453You're far from alone fren. A lot of stuff is like that>pinkie promise is a play on pinky promise, because horses don't have fingers>twilight, celestia and luna have a magenta/yellow/cyan magic aura color triad because the 3 of them are supposed to be a sun/moon/stars trio with twilight being the balance between sun and moon, hence her name>queen chrysalis is named that because a chrysalis is a symbol of one thing transforming into something else>fluttershy is yellow like the color of butter. and she's a pegasus. she's a butter-fly>celestia's mane isn't merely multi-color, it's supposed to symbolize the rainbow. the sun is what makes rainbows + rainbows are often associated with unicorns/pretty ponies + rainbows are associated with the elements of harmony and she's the only person who's known to have used the elements all by herself. also she's white cuz the sun IRL is white, not yellow
>>41829452I liked that comic where she's like 45 and he's in his 20s
>>41831089>t. basic bitch appledasher
>>41829342I am very horny for the cute and funny fillies. I want to be balls deep in Applebloom while Scoots rims my man hole. That's the best ship if you ask me: me and my cunny wifes
>>41831089I don't think applefags want her to be shipped at all
>>41832011also:>Rainbow Dash is so called because she has rainbow hair and is very fast>Applejack is named that because she jacks off her brother>Rarity is a whore
I ship Anon with all mares and fillies.
>>41829342No shit? Her entire personality is centered around Big Mac.
>>41832082BASED
>>41832080Thank you for your contributions Anon
>>41831383>>41832072my bad, I meant people whose favorite pony is AJ in general, not just waifufags>>41832046that's also bad but at least semi-functional. the OG 4/10 ship
>>41832011Celestia's mane is the aurora, not rainbows.
>>41832315that's retarded
>>41832343Why?
>>41832351cuz they're associated with cold arctic regions and with nighttime? Her hair is just wavy because it's a magical rainbow mane
>>41832360They're caused by the Sun.>Her hair is just wavy because it's a magical rainbow maneAnon, we know what a pony's mane looks like if it's supposed to be a rainbow. She's one of the main characters.Celestia's mane is an aurora. That's why it's wavy and why it has the colors it does.
>>41832300>semi-functional>lesbians
>>41832300I don't know how you could think appledash would work if rarijack couldn't. AJ and Dash would probably constantly get into fights.
>>41832380Dude no, it doesn't matter if it's caused by the sun. That's not how it's associated in cartoons. It's ALWAYS a nighttime thing in cartoons. The light the moon reflects is also caused by the sun. The moon is out during the daytime roughly 50% of the month. The sun causes its own (smaller) tides. And stars are just far away suns. But those things are all associated with night in cartoons, and it would be fucking weird if they weren't regardless if they "technically" come from the sun or not.I'm sorry but if your mind can't grasp that her mane is supposed to symbolize a rainbow just because it's not LITERALLY in the most trite and obvious ROYGBIV configuration, then you're dense. The intended symbolism is obviously rainbow. It's blue because of the daytime sky, green because of the grass the sun nourishes, and pink and purple because those are girly My Little Pony colors.Also Ceelstia's cahracter design is obviously based on pic rel. It's a common trope that that unicorns get depicted with a shining white coat and a rainbow mane (and often a horn of gold, similar to her magic aura). Celestia wasn't designed to be an "alicorn", she was intended to be a winged unicorn and her design is clearly based on the unicorn + plus rainbow trope. Also aside from Celestia having a white coat for other reasons, one reason for the white coat is because white sunlight splits into all the colors of the rainbow when it passes through a prism. It's a goddamn rainbow mane. Literally nothing about the aurora theory explains anything that isn't already explained by it just being a rainbow mane.
>>41832443Anon, the colors of her mane are literally those of the aurora and it being wavy is exactly what auroras are like. Her mane being a rainbow is purely based on projecting things onto it and rejecting the obvious. The rainbow mane makes zero sense. You're just being insane and closed minded.
>>41829342I like Twilight and Thorax. Despite both of them being rulers of different nations they care about and want to be close to each other.
>>41832416the difference is that with their competitive streak, when they get into a fight it's because they overdo something they love to do in moderation. when the other two get into a fight it's because they have a fundamental disdain for the other's interests, goals, and way of life in general.
>>41832590>fundamental disdain for the other's interests, goals, and way of life in generalthis is just straight up incorrect
>>41829342>LikeLuna and Twilight >Dislike Celestia and Pinkie Pie
>>41832033Like Fine Wine?
>>41832625Not really. Opposites do not attract by the way.
>>41832625>as shown in episode...look, I'm not saying they can't get along if they have to, but any deeper relationship is bound to crash and burn if you don't write one character wildly OOC
>>41832505You're genuinely such a dipshit that it's impressive.
>>41832655Yeah
>>41833002You should read the fanfic.
>>41833006I did.
>>41832661Good thing they're both family oriented, middle class, business owners that go to spas and hoedowns together.
>>41832082I kneel
They will be so good with their bfs
>>41832632>Celestia and Pinkie PieNot once have I ever seen this. How and why would that be a thing?
>>41832177And treats
>>41832315Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your castle!?
>>41834342They both like cake and pranks.
>>41834342manga
>>41834362wtf Thunderlane dumped his little grey marefriend?
>>41829342Marble Mac would've been perfect because it would be subtle incest.They also ruined TwiShining by making him get it on with Cadence.
>>41829342Me x my waifu you fucking retard.
>>41834881Yeah I dislike that one the most too
>>41834360Yes!
I ship (You) x (You)r waifuIf someone doesnt like this ship they are a offboarder niggerkike and should be culled
>>41834370Derpy? Shes for the doctor
>>41835111...on opposite dayHe is with roseluck
>>41829342i like soarindash
>>41835177Degenegate ship
>>41835139The only rose he's lucking is Derpy's
>>41834342There was that one fic a decade ago that was actually really good about them.
>>41836891Gonna need sauce on that claim anon
>>41836891Remember some parts of it or whatever it was about? A title, characters or anything that could help me find it?
>>41829342SweetieMac. Reasons it works: Both live in the same small town with close ties through their sisters. They'd bond over their singing hobby. Apple Bloom would be all for playing match maker to bring her best friend in as family, over some suspicious literal who from far away. Sweetie is fit for farm life. She enjoys getting her hooves dirty, and is driven to pursue handy crafts like cooking and sewing to fill traditional roles.Both can be of legal age. Fuck you, Haber OC shipper <3.
>>41838333Sweetie Belle is going into porn though.
>>41829835It's his fetish.
>>41836891>>41837468>>41837979Twice as Bright?
>>41834881Soulless >>41835104SoulBased anon thinking of others
>>41829452Spike and Smolder, or Gabby
>>41839584Pretty cute. Post them fucking.
>>41839584Did they ever have any romantic energy? Gabby did
>>41839732Not really, but it's still fun to have them fuck.
>>41839740What would the kids look like?
>>41839754I usually don't think that far ahead. Besides, they're still young, Smolder probably can't even get pregnant yet.
>>41838333I like this concept, but since when does Mac sing?
>>41841099Since sweetie roped him into it.
>>41841099He's in the Ponytones group. He also sings to a lesser degree in "Apples To The Core" and "Raise This Barn" if you count singing along in random musical segments.
>>41831089i hate this ship and im an applefag. those who shill this ship are almost always ftm/nonbinary female zoomers. take a look at the rarijack tag on derpibooru, its mostly slop zoomer-artstyle drawings that were obviously drawn by females. they dont have chemistry and theyre just bunched up together because there arent any other persistent characters that would make sense to ship either applejack or rarity with and also, wooahh!!! lesbians!! butch x femme wooaah!!.. i guess lmao
>>41832443I agree with the other guy, I think it matters that auroras are caused by the sun
>>41831089That seems correct because PaulAsaran calls it his OTP and he's a Southerner who likes AJ
>>41829342Rewatching S1 and S2 made me realize these two had some really cute moments
>>41841327>butch x femme wooaah!!This and "le opposites attract!" meme.Not just zoomers, but they are the most annoying about it.
>>41841433He doesn't really like AJ if he ships Rarijack.Captcha: XRRRX
>>41841618>This and "le opposites attract!" meme.I mean they can. but you need to have some common ground so that the most logical solution to the conflict arising from it isn't just "k, see you never"
>>41841618Opposites attract works because they're able to cover each other's weaknesses. When you lose track of that, you end up with dumb ships like rarijack. How are they covering for eachother? Applejack doesn't need someone with Rarity's meticulousness in her life, and while applejack similarly offers little to Rarity. It'd just end up with applejack begrudgingly receiving a bath from Rarity twice a day, neither of them very happy.A good opposites attract ship would be applejack and fluttershy. Applejack's sterness covers for Fluttershy's softness and fluttershy's consideration covers for Applejack's stubbornness. There may be friction between them, but if they can get on the same wavelength, they could take on any obstacle together.Applejack and Rarity may not work well romantically, but if you want to squeeze some drops of chemistry out, they have very different attitudes towards business, and I think applejack could learn a lot from Rarity.
>>41842407Applejack can make sure a superficial design is also functional. Rarity can increase Applejack's sales with artistic design, trend setting, and networking. Applejack's grounded approach covers Rarity's hysterics, and Rarity's charisma covers for Applejack's stubbornness. Rarity's business depends on Applejack when she needs anything not related directly to fashion fixed, like a stage or leaky pipe. I don't even ship this.
>>41842556We see in most based pegasus's episode that they don't really work together like that. Applejack sees extremely little value in all of the things that Rarity fusses over. In nearly all cases, Applejack trying to help will just make things worse. Rarity also doesn't need applejack practically because the shows she takes her dresses to are manages buy the venues, and I think applejack would be much good at fixing a sewing machine. Practicality isn't a good foundation romance either. Applejack also has most her business's practical needs covered by Filthy Rich already too. Rarity would probably be better at it than Rich, but she cares more about her dresses and couldn't do it full time.
>>41842613It's a bad episode but this scene is great
I don't know if this is "basic" but I do love the two musician horses. Depends on how they're characterized, but most of the time they're good, and in certain instances they hit perfectly.
>>41842613>Applejack sees extremely little value in all of the things that Rarity fusses overFussing over (bird nests), yes. Completing (applejack's gala dresses and tree clean up), no.>Applejack trying to help will just make things worseSpeculation.>Rarity also doesn't need applejack practically because the shows she takes her dresses to are manages buy the venuesWho rebuilt the Manehatten theater, a venue? Oh no wait, AJ did. Free family labor > hiring costs.>Applejack also has most her business's practical needs covered by Filthy Rich already too. That's one seasonal product, zap apple jam.>Rarity...cares more about her dresses and couldn't do it full time.That rules out all m6 ships. They can't run businesses, teach school, and save the world, but they do.
Imagine trying to defend Rarijack
I'll defend any ship if the reasons given why it's bad are trash enough.
>>41842718Give me a reason why it's good first.
>>41842693>I'll accept your free stuff and prefer to briefly work with you over sleeping in a room with a broken window during a rainstormeven strangers would do that. that really just shows she doesn't hate her.>Speculation.seen it in multiple episodes>That rules out all m6 shipsonly those that have so little going for them that you need to try and force them into each others' niches, that's always a sign of grasping at straws. e.g. you don't make a dash ship work on the premise that the other pony helps her be a better wonderbolt
>>41842746>They need to work together in life to solve problems"Here's how they can work together.">Stop forcing how their careers and hobbies work together!>They're too busy to love each other"The m6 are full time workers, super heroes, and teachers">muh strawsGoal posts: moved.
>>41829452yeah, its clearly a kids crush on like their sister/moms hot friend. the most i think would happen is they might hook up once years years down the line but i dont think either would have that interest by then. my view of rarities relationships are probably similar to a lady im close friends with who is kinda jersey rarity. she would have some big crushes and loves but got burned a bunch so she mostly sticks to like one or two friends when the mood strikes her but she is maybe open to more with the right person but she still pines for a couple of them even though she kinda self sabotaged them. spike would probably just find a nice unicorn mare or maybe a dragon.>>41842407i can see it and while im a believer in oppsites attract, i just dont know if they have enough solid foundation. while i think its dumb, i get why Applejack and rainbow dash apperently a thing because they are opposites but they have enough common ground. i also just dont see rarity as a lesbian or bi or whatever. to each their own but she was always struck me as the straightest one of the main 6. i feel like if she found someone, it was probably some assistent or friend she met and they eventually end up clicking>>41839242i kinda like that big mac just has a type he likes.>>41838333i dont feel like it would work. big mac doesnt strike me as the type who is gonna pounce on his little sisters friend when she is legal or whatever. >>41834881same.>>41832661it depends. you need actual common ground it to work and be actual friends first.>>41839732honestly i think gabby would be spikes thing. i feel like its her or a mare of some type.
>>41842846who are you quoting?
>>41842739Not my favorite ship but their differences complement each other
>>41842896So it's just the "opposites attract" bullshit. Okay.
>>41842924I mean that's the tropeIf you're dismissing shipping tropes as a whole maybe you're not that much into shippingWhich is okay, because these tropes can be really retarded and flanderize the characters to only ever act a certain wayBut that depends on the level of nuance a specific creator is willing to depict
>>41842887(You)>>41842924And their similarities. People, or ponies rather, are complex.
>>41842871>big mac doesnt strike me as the type who is gonna pounce on his little sisters friendHot! Ahem, I mean, come on, where's your sense of romance? Obviously Sweetie is the hopeful pursuer here, while Apple Bloom thinks her brother has molasses for brains for not immediately picking up what her friend puts down.
>>41842998AB would never approve.
>>41829832she friendzones him unfortunately
>>41842941but I never said those things? my point was that your own argument only rules out m6 ships if they must have TWO full time jobs, teach school, and save the world.I did add my own opinion, that going in that direction is generally a sign of a bad ship and gave an example why, which is a seperate goal. the original one (Rarity, as she is depicted in the show, has little time and even less interest in doing all that shit) still stands where it originally did.
>>41843119Are you assuming that supporting each other occasionally counts as TWO full time jobs? I'm not touching your latter goalpost because it's the same shipper logic that resulted in Rarity and Rainbow Dash suddenly not being friends for 8 seasons.
