There are certain things I've learned to expect of fiction, and especially fanfics. When two characters that are around each other a lot get into a heated argument, a make out will always ensue. Expecting this does not make it any less funny.

You know, stuff like this is why I'm having an excruciatingly hard time avoiding accidental inuendos in my NaPoWriMo fic. Whenever I have RD and AJ in the same scene together I'm always painfully aware every time anything that could be even remotely construed as sexual turns up in the way I phrase something.

Hell, there's at least 4 different innuendos I spotted in that paragraph!

Oh, hell no. I was loving it, but then you had to throw in the shipping. That's the one thing I hate about the fandom and why I don't want the creators to be catering specifically to bronies. Shipping everywhere, no limits, doesn't matter if it even makes sense or not. Especially this ship. These characters had like 5 or 10 seconds of airtime each, no character development, and not even names. Despite this, however, the fandom is convinced that they are an item. Bugs the hell out of me. Smh...

@bronydash

What do you mean by "they are an item"? As far as I'm convinced, they are items, in terms of we can characterize them in any way we we want to. You don't have to ship them; a lot of people do because they find it amusing.

I actually think it's easier to ship ponies (Lyra+Bonbon, Octavia+Scratch) that don't have characterizations, because there is no reasoning in place to say that they can't be together. I mean, come on; is Raripink (or whatever the fandom wants to call it) plausible? Not really, though many people have fun trying.

Pfft, no matter what the haters say...it's an adorable pairing and makes for good smiles.

Also - Fanon pairings DO NOT EXIST...we all actively know the pairings wouldn't ever take place. It's done because people like screwing around and having fun with it, not because of some misguided notion that the shipping takes place in the show.

Why rain on their parade?
It causes no actual long-lasting harm and is entirely ignorable

Also, most of us writers do it for this thing called "fun," where, in all honesty, we write the stories we want to tell, we put them out to the brony community, and they yay or nay it. (Not doing the pun guys.) XD

If you don't like shipping, don't read or look at it.

even though i normally hate shipping, i irl rofl'd

about the kids show thing... yeah, kinda embarrassing, but I realized that MLP is (and kinda always has been) more of a "universe" and the show is one aspect of it. kinda like star-trek or star wars (off the top of my head). likely adds to the appeal. That's why i kinda support OC and bg character focus more than mane 6. I feel the show is about the mane 6, we fill the rest of the universe with whatever we want.

Blank canvas, and Hasbro gave us free-reign of the finger-paints, bronies.

Although, as an advocate of VinylTavia shipping, (for obvious reasons,) my opinion is a bit biased. However, we're free to mould this fanon into whatever we want, and Ocs help that.

How dull would fanfiction be if shipping and OCs were banned? It'd suck horrifically, or be massively out of character alot.
