True, that’s also why they started “Derping” Derpy’s eyes, as well starting with “Feeling Pinkie-Keen.” Fans oftentimes forget before that, her eyes were normal, aside from her first appearance.

@Background Pony #FE52  
that’s the power of the fandom

@CaptainGrumpy  
Granted, I don’t think it was canon until much later.
 
I don’t think they planned on ‘shipping them like say back in Season 1 or 2 when they were just background ponies whom only appeared once on a bench together. (And apparently that’s all it takes for ’shippers to run with something.) It was obviously influenced by the fandom, and not something that was always planned. Especially, sense the ‘ship didn’t start becoming popular until like Season 3, or 4.

@TheRedBaronV2  
 
do friendship rings usually end in bridal dresses and honeymoon carriages

@TheRedBaronV2  
And yet, you know that isn’t true.

Are they actually proposing though? Or are they just giving each other friendship rings?

@CaptainGrumpy  
Neither shipper nore ship denier, but sure if you Need that to feel better About yourself.

@Backgroundpony  
so I’ll just file you under the “damage control” category

@CaptainGrumpy  
You are waiting for 5% of the brony fandom to Show up after this ship was taken out by the Canon?
 
Also it is a lost for the shippers. A ship becoming Canon cease to be a ship. So sorry for your lost.

@CaptainGrumpy  
Obviously. And girl cousins too. And nothing romantic goes on between these two cousins at all.

@mjangelvortex  
who are just friends

@CaptainGrumpy  
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Those are two lovely looking cousins.

@neo4812  
do you know what BL is
 
also
 

@neo4812  
That’s still a generalization but on the other end. Japan still has some ways to go with LGBT rights when it concerns to actual LGBT people.

@mjangelvortex  
your right japan loves gays, there’s so many gay protagonists In manga and anime. my bad

@neo4812  
You’re generalizing there a bit, bud.

try telling that to Russia and china and most of the southern states of America and Catholics and Christians and Arabs and probably Africa and probably japan

@CaptainGrumpy  
I understand that feeling. I’ve had to put up with those kinds of people since “The Break Up Break Down” showed the two of them exchanging Hearts and Hooves Day gifts together while Big Mac watches and misses his romantic partner.

me waiting for the loads of shipping deniers trying to damage control/backpedal/apologize while we all point and laugh at their arguments against the ship being canon getting demolished into pieces
