I definitely ship Moonscout

@Magician-Horse
This is the way to go. Just keep on doing your thing and block accounts who start drama.

Hehe wink

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS HITCH X ZIPPPPPPPPPPP it’s called a shipping war, and most people don’t really think too much about the war part, but it’s a LEGIT WAR FOR ME

@Background Pony #7101
Married to the grind, just like Rarity.

@Background Pony #7101
she gets posey

AlphaHaven: 149, with 79 by artists
RockJazz: 71, with 61 by artists

So the actual official ships are trailing way behind. Kinda sad I think they’re cute ships.

@Background Pony #7101
Yeah, that’s definitely how it works.

@Butters Stotch
Mac and Marble are so distantly related that it’s not incest in any meaningful sense.

@🐴
Another ship that for some reason no one cares if it’s incest, to the point of bashing the other ship everywhere. I guess people just argue their blood relation is ambiguous.

Say what you will about PetalStorm, but as spoken about in other comments, Misty x Zipp or Pipp has absolutely zero wrong with it. The degree of relatedness is practically zero genetically speaking. Haven and Alphie never officially tied the knot, even if there were leaks of wedding BGs, so canonically they’re still not together, and Misty still isn’t even a stepsibling. It’s only incest if you really squint hard and look for something to be mad at.

Wow it is way down there. Really surprised considering the pal-entine episode.

Me who likes Izzy x Pipp: :(

@🐴
especially since we are talking about fiction

@Magician-Horse @mindset
Abandoning ship because of surprise parent reveals—especially when it’s a surprise parallel romance between the parents and their respective daughters—is cowardly behaviour.

Pipp x Zipp - ouch, this is bad.

THIS
Dawnstorm was gaining some popularity until it was revealed that Misty was the daughter of Alphabittle, and it seems that fans of that ship disappeared when Hasbro released that chapter. I know that sometimes people themselves have their own ethical code and that’s fine, but idk it’s still very strange to come across new dawnstorm fanarts. Thanks anyway for telling me your point of view.

@Chopsticks
I hang out on Tumblr mostly, and when Alphabittle and Haven got together so many people abandoned Zipp and Misty. I simply doubled down and shipped both Zipp and Pipp with Misty.

@🐴
Yeah I found them. It seemed more like a case of pressure/harassment or embarrassment caused the removal, even the social media account source is gone… just like Background Pony #9E59 pointed out.

@Chopsticks
Check on the other boorus in case they got deleted due to the artist throwing a hissy.

@Background Pony #9E59
There needs to be more art of ponies mutually grooming one another. That, not the traditional kiss, should be the SFW shipping pose.

Awww, hug.

@Chopsticks
You have to understand that the people who police fiction act out of disgust rather than logic. They’re a minority though, just loud. Best to block em’ as soon as possible.

That said, I hope you continue to draw Petalstorm in the future. I like it and many people like it too. The numbers don’t lie.

Judging by the timespan between [recent] images of those two pairings, I’m going to say “yes” unfortunately.
