| CodenameOne #1112636 4 months ago |
I can; the whole "it's like incest" argument is invalid as they're not actually related, therefore any kind of romantic relation between them is perfectly plausible. The only obstacles to their relationship is the age difference and the likelihood Spike would outlive her by a thousand years. |
| Impious #1112644 4 months ago |

Yeah, but Princest is justified by both of them being the only beings that can stay together (outliving lover after lover HAS to be emotional torture) and mortal beings are too fragile anyway. |

@CodenameOne
I don't think there's really a problem because none of the characters have ever frowned upon Spike's crush on Rarity by telling him off because "he's too young" or "he's not a pony." Its not like a secret at all. See Green isn't your Color. Plus Twilight even supports his crush by giving him helpful advice. See Boast Busters. Spike/Twilight is shippable. If you put shipping goggles on while watching certain episodes, you can see that Twilight maybe jealous of Spike's crush on Rarity whenever Twilight gives annoyed groans when the crush thing is played out. |

Spike/Twilight isn't plausible at all. Twilight's annoyed by spike's crush because it makes him act like a love-struck dofus. Spike and twilight appear to have a brother and sister like relationship. Any one who has a brother or sister can testify to that. |

Because their personalities are not compatible. To me at least, it looks like Twilight has simply learned to tollerate Spike and not much more. There were time she really cared about him, but if she was looking for an assistant as and adult and didn't have Spike, she would of passed him off as a childish brat that wouldn't be much help. |

Twilight cares deeply about Spike. She just isn't very good at showing it. @Saint_Braeburn You mean the voice of nonshippers. Some people want to see some characters actually find love among each other. It's not that hard to understand. Love can happen in ways you wouldn't expect. It has thruout history triumphed to at least some extent over societal perceptions and other obstacles. I think to make all the mane 6 lesbians especially for each other is extreme, but two of them getting together is not really that hard to imagine. |

That's just insane. The whole point of shipping is to create fiction extending existing fiction, but with the things we want (in this particular case, romance). Still, I might try that for the lulz sometime. |

I accept all ships, but personally I have never shipped any of the Mane 6 with eachother, and rarely with anyone else. That's going a bit too far. |
| Anonymous #1112846 4 months ago |
I wouldn't be confused about shipping at all if they acknowledged that this is all a in their head. But the shippers I see never do, they seem too honestly believe that the creators of this show are dropping subtle hints that the the mane cast are secretly lesbians with unresolved sexual tension. Of course it very likely that i'm stereotyping here, but this is my experience when talking to shippers. so please if my statements totally off base feel free to correct me. |

It's called getting crap past the radar (on tvtropes anyways) Just little jokes, I don't think many take these seriously except for the Lyra/Bon Bon stuff (only that because it's presumed that they put in Lyra/Bon Bon stuff because they know a little about fanon). |

But admit it, it's the only possible way that Luna and Celestia would ever find lasting love. I don't know about you, but regardless of my own opinions on the matter, I wouldn't take that away from them. |
| Anonymouz #1112891 4 months ago |
@Nebbie
I thought they put Lyra and Bonbon together because of their colors. They compliment the backdrops together, at least that's what I read. @1112859 Spike's crush on Rarity isn't the only implied romance. Rarity's crush on Blueblood was there since S1Ep3. And now we're getting a wedding episode. |
| Nebbie #1112895 4 months ago |
I think in all likelihood Luna and Celestia are totally celibate as far as the show will ever show us.
But really, the two pairing up would be the most logical if they wanted romance and could get over incest taboos. |
| CodenameOne #1112896 4 months ago |
It's good to see nobody got all butthurt and turned this into a flame war; I'm glad we were all able to sit down and have a logical and friendly discussion over plausible ships and the former relations the two individuals in said ship may have had. And the anons being intelligent and reasonable were an extra bonus.

| Anonymous #1112904 4 months ago |
@Nebbie
No I actually didn't know about that twilight's brother getting married. As for hearts and hooves day that could be seen as an argument against shipping more then anything. Sorry perhaps i wasn't clear in my first post. I ment the writers of the show weren't going to imply romance between the main characters. The main goal of the show is to teach kids about friendship. I sincerely doubt their going to tackle controversial subjects like homosexuality or dating someone you once called a friend. I have no problem with shippers whatsoever, i just don't completely understand it. |
| Impious #1112910 4 months ago |
#895
Only alternative is Luna being a flooze and Celestia being much colder than she lets on. They're both very loving individuals. It's absolutely cruel that no matter what, they will watch all of their loved ones grow old and die. Except, of course, each other. Well, Celestia has a bird, too. But what the fuck ever. Truth be told, incest is a big turn off for me. But it's just right if it's between them, because they both deserve consistency and stability. |
| CodenameOne #1112913 4 months ago |
And to anon 665; while they may technically be family it IS only a technicality, permitting shipping between the two that wouldn't(or rather shouldn't) be viewed as incest.
@Anonymouz in response to my first comment; I never said they weren't implausible, but I suppose you are correct when saying that the age difference does not seem to be a problem given what the show has shown us. As for possibly outliving her my stance on that being a problem still stands. |
| Impious #1112914 4 months ago |
...And it's funny, I don't even ship them together, ever. But from a logical standpoint, they're perfect. |
| Nebbie #1112918 4 months ago |
@anon904 Well of course the mane 6 will never date. That's because it would create important continuity in a highly episodic series.
Not everyone has this avoidance of dating friends. The friendzone isn't an all-powerful force lol. The homosexuality issue is irrelevant to fanfics, which are about what could happen from what is shown, not from what will be shown in the show (sex itself is an example of this. It will never be in the show, but it is definitely in the show's universe. Faust even said so). As for the show itself, if we ever saw canon homosexuality I would be very glad to see it not for the shipping, but for standing up to intolerance of homosexuality. But with how Derpy wentl, not gonna happen. |

"Kindness and generosity leads to true friendship and that's more valuable than anything in the world. Well, almost anything." - Spike. Last scene S2Ep10 Hey, shippers gonna ship and at least one of the main characters seem to be looking for love from another main character. But yeah, I agree that the show teaches about friendship above anything else. |
| Saint_Braeburn #1112942 4 months ago |
I agree with the Anons though if you want to ship in a non pedo or incest way go ahead. Just don't scream it's canon because you have a hunch, or a theory, or your unable to comprehend that people can have platonic relationships.
Of course if your shipping just for laughs than anything goes as long as the result is funny @Imperious The thought that the two Princesses are in a relationship simply because everyone else dies around them; gets more terrifying and morbid the more you think about it. Well that's it for me on this thread |
| Anonymous #1112976 4 months ago |
@CodenameOne
Even if they aren't related by blood, it still seems like a strange relationship that wouldn't work. For example just because your sister is adopted dosent make them any less your sister, its the emotional contention that makes them your sister. If someone could move past that more power too them, but It seems like a large hurdle to cross. @Nebbie yeah the derby fiasco was kinda over exaggerated, only a few people actually complained and they just wanted to be careful cause they didn't think anyone would complain at all. Also thank you for telling me your experience with this shipping thing. Most of the people I talked to seem to get into serous arguments and sometimes flame wars over this stuff, so i assumed that most of these people were deluding themselves (I'm kinda a moron like that). but you have shown me their are people are capable if separating canon from their personal fanon. |
| Littlecabbit #1113003 4 months ago |
Hey Saint, I think Sparity is cute as hell, and I plan on shipping it regardless to how you or anyone else feels about.
On a slightly more serious note, you go on about "Since it's a show about friendship and aimed at little girls, romance will never happen" you should take a look at an anime called "Hamtaro" It was a show about hamsters and thier friendship with one another, by episode ten there were two love-triangles and a cannon pairing, later in the show there were THREE love triangles, and by the end of the second movie, they paired Hamtaro up with Bijou, and killed off one of the triangles, it was pointed to the SAME EXACT group as this cartoon was, so I'm not entirely sure you could say ANY pairings are completely impossible, since there are a few cannon ones among the older ponies anyway, namely thier parents. |
| Nebbie #1113014 4 months ago |
@anon976
The Westermarck effect is responsible for that hurdle. If Luna and Celestia didn't really grow up together, they could certainly get it on. Many smart people avoid flame wars altogether unless they feel very strongly about it. The result is that flame wars are not exactly representative. It would be hard for me to put much shipping into my headcanon, simply because there are so many shipping fics and they do not exactly agree. I don't take my headcanon very seriously either (come to think of it, I disassembled most of it upon hearing about the season finale, and never got around to putting most of it bakk together). Lyra/Bon Bon and Derpy/Doctor Whooves are pretty much the only pairings I allow in my headcanon (and are currently the only things in it). |

@Braeburn
IT'S IMPIOUS, NOT IMPERIOUS EVERYONE ALWAYS FUCKS UP MY NAME!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA And perhaps that's a little creepy, but think about it; You and ONLY ONE other person in the world are immortal. The chances of you ending up as an item at some point -maybe in ten years, maybe in ten thousand- rise astronomically. Because at some point, you're not going to be able to withstand the amount of sacrifice and loss that come with immortality. Everyone you love will die, no matter what you do. Except, of course, for that one other person... And even if that person is your fucking mother, you won't be able to stop yourself from seeing the appeal. |
| Anonymouz #1113062 4 months ago |
@Imperious
Its interesting because Cadence is an Alicorn getting married to a Unicorn pony. I wonder if she's also immortal like Celestia and Luna and that her outliving Shining Armor would be brought up in the wedding episode. |
| Impious #1113080 4 months ago |
@Anonymouz
Ahem. Anyway. I'd like it if that were brought up, actually. Granted, it probably wouldn't be a cause of concern for Cadence. She seems very young and would have yet to really cross the despair event horizon like Celestia definitely has and Luna might have. She might not actually even be immortal. We might find out that Alicorns are actually an elusive fourth race, and that Luna and Celestia aren't actually alicorns; rather, they're both goddesses using that form as an avatar because it represents harmony between all three races. Or something. Regardless, fanon's gettin fucked. Hard. And then bukkaked. |

To the OP; you are entitled to your own opinion, and I respect that. I ship these two together myself because of the trust they have in one another, along with the degree of affection they would have built up in the time they have been together, appeal very much for me. It's just too much of a temptation to see two people, so close since childhood develop into something more. Suffice to say, I'm a sucker for "The perfect guy was there all along, you witch" stories (Maybe it's because we always have them told from the females perspective).
That being said, if she argues with you like your sister and tucks you in like your mother, and there's no blood relationship, it just makes the sex hotter. |
