Description

So I decided to make my own shipping tier chart.
If I was to reboot the show, you bet your bottom dollar that I’d make the ships in the “BEST EVER” row canon.

(This is, to date, my most tagged artwork on Derpibooru. I hope you enjoy this, because I had to manually type out all the ship names, which was not pleasant.)

Honestly, a lot of these were kinda just put in an order I found looked nice. There really wasn’t any higher ranks other than…well, the tiers themselves!
But I still appreciate hearing your opinions, and that you realize that’s exactly what they are: opinions. Not many people realize that these days.

@Clever Clovers
I love that you’re standing up for yourself…I will say I’m disappointed LyraBon was not “BEST EVER” (due to The Last Problem)…but, I’m still happy it’s high up in the “Great”
I’ll say I also don’t agree with some placements:
  1. I don’t like that the MarbleMac ship is a “BEST EVER” because they are more likely than not cousins, but also because Big Mac already has Sugar Belle…She gives him something Marble can’t…One more pony he actually feels comfortable to speak freely in front of, he never actually talked to Marble. Also, Sugar Belle is very much like Pear Butter, and Big Mac told her in S09E24 that he wanted their love to be JUST like his parents.
  2. I can’t agree with either the Trixburst, ShimmerGlimmer, Suntrix, Starburst. I firmly believe that Starlight and Trixie are lesbians, they are a couple. And Sunburst? Well, I think he is gay. I think the ship known as Stygburst, it possible due the Legends of Magic series from IDW’s Canon strips. Anyway, Sunburst and Stygian have more in common then Sunburst with Starlight and Trixie, whom he calls his friends (Not even best friends, Trixie calls Starlight her best friend…also Trixie seems more comfortable taking off her cape whenever Starlight hangs out with her in Student Counsel, A Horse-Shoe In, All Bottled Up, and To Where and Back Again. In A Horse-Shoe In Trixie actually started without her Outfit, but the moment she was in front of Octavia, Big, Spoiled, and The Doctor she’s wearing her cape, we don’t see her with it off until Starlight visits her in her caravan, and then she’s wearing it again when Sunburst arrives) So, I don’t support the ships outside of Stygburst or StarTrix.
  3. I honestly can never decide whether or not the Dislestia or Discolight ships are my favorite, I love the as “Great” but, due to them being for different MLP Canon…I prefer the Discolight ship after I watch Remembrance by Ashley H. and in the FiM episodes like Three’s A Crowd, Beginning of the End, What About Discord, or Princess Twilight Sparkle.
    But then I like the Dislestia ship in episodes like The Return of Harmony, Keep New Friends but Keep Discord, Twilight’s Kingdom, or Dungeons and Discords…I can’t decide.
  4. I hate how low you put the ships of CheesePie, AppleDash, and MaudBriar. With The Last Problem…CheesePie was perfect and there no point saying it’s “Not The Best”…with the episode The Last Laugh as the foundation, Lil’ Cheese is the Truth…Pinkie Pie had a night with “Cream Cheese” between her legs. If you don’t know that’s what happens when a stallion and mare fall in love, you should talk to Littlepip or Velvet Remedy about it… (Better ask the latter due to the former being Lesbian). But Blackjack might be able help she’s in a trio and is Bisexual. Anyway
    Cont. The Last Problem (As well as their voice actor) confirms AppleDash. And do I have to explain the whole PLOT of The Maud Couple (DO NOT TAKE THAT OUT OF CONTEXT…okay, go ahead).
  5. Lastly, I hate the placement for the ships of GildaPie, Gildash, SpitDash, FlutterBulk, RariDash, and TwiSpike.
    GildaPie in THIRD Place is just the stupidest placement I have ever seen. Gilda abused, bullied, assaulted, and publicly shamed Pinkie and Rainbow. So, those only would be in “ABSOLUTE GARBAGE” with how much Gilda hurt Pinkie and Rainbow…She even made PINKIE feel like SHE was the mean one. SpitDash actually is a “Really Bad” ship because of what the two are. I highly doubt it that Dash would even be able to date her BOSS. FlutterBulk is “ABSOLUTE GARBAGE” because Fluttershy is small and fragile. Bulk may be a big softy, but he would crush her. RarityDash…I-I mean RariDash is “Really Bad” because Rarity is literally the most insensitive, narcissistic, and selfish Marshmallow-Colored pony in all of Equestria…the episode The End in Friend? Rarity didn’t even CARE about ANYTHING Bow liked. Bow at least tried to participate and ask questions during her shopping trip, She COMPLETELY ignored Bow’s Buckball game to sketch something for her own…than decided to ruin Bow’s NEXT turn by making EVERYTHING about her. Bow’s turn! Bow chooses a Treasure Hunt and Rarity has the big, insensitive head to say, “This isn’t YOUR treasure hunt, this is for MY winter collection!”
    As for the TwiSpike, I’m not going to explain why this ship is just another INCEST ship, and therefore “ABSOLUTE GARBAGE”. You just go rewatch episodes: The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Sparkle’s Seven, Once Upon A Zepplin, Hearthbreakers, and MOSTLY Father Knows Beast.
One last thing…
I’m not about to leave without saying anything positive so, I will say I agree well with the placements of:
RaraJack, Marshmallow Coco…(hang on…I have a sudden craving for Hot Chocolate…) (5 mins Later) I’m Back!
I was saying I also agree with the placements of TwiDancer, DoctorDerpy, Spolder, Fluttercord, SweetieMash, TwiTracker, FlutterMac, GlidaShy, ZephDash (Prefer it to be bottom place in “ABSOLUTE GARBAGE” though, because what he does is just straight up sexually harassment to Rainbow Dash, she is obviously absolutely DISGUSTED by his selfish flirting), CocoPolo, and CaraJack (Incest, Caramel is part of the Apple Family and is AJ, Big, and Bloom’s Cousin, as well as Braeburn and Carrot Top. The same goes for Thorax and Pharynx or Thorax and Chrysalis. Brother/Brother or Son/Mother INCEST either way). All in all…Very good tier…although you have other preferences…it doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it not a fact it’s an Opinion.

Ah crud I got picked to get assigned to the Solar Empire, Aaaahh…. I was really hoping it would be the Lunar Republic because I’m drawn to Luna more.. aw well from the looks of the points it does look like the Solar Empire could use some help… So I won’t complain:)!!!!
Vaincaster

Um you might want to Classify WHICH version of SOMBRA you’re talking about when you’re talking about CELESTIAxSOMBRA, cause there’s THREE, Show Sombra from season 3, 5, and 9, FIENDship is Magic Sombra who’s an Umbrum and got reformed and went off to find the pieces of Princess Amore with Radiant Hope, AND GOOD KING SOMBRA FROM THE REVERSE WORLD THAT CELESTIA FELL IN LOVE WITH….!!!! AND THAT EVERY FAN SEEMS TO APPROVE WITH

The downvotes in the image reminds me how serious some people are about the ships.

Ehh havent quite finished the series yet but I still disagree with most of it.
Most of the ones in the top feel absolutely random and just don’t make any sense whatsoever.
Why ship Trixie with Twilight for example? They barely talk or hang out. Especially over Starlight x Trixie which is nowhere to be seen.
Also I find it weird how Celestia and Twilight are a ship when the former is a mentor / mother figure to Twilgiht.
