@TheFinite  
And now for a list of Fluttershy x [canon character] pairings (in order from most to least popular).
 

@Brass Beau  
I ship her with Sorin personally.

@Brass Beau  
I used to be a huge GildaShy fan.

@WyrmSpawN  
What changed?

@Meanlucario  
I, personally, ship him with Rainbow Dash. He’s actually on that Top 100 lost three times. Rainbow (by a huge margin), Spitfire and Braeburn are his most popular ships. I like the Spitfire ship, too.

@Brass Beau  
With Dash, I go with Zephyr (one that pulled his sh*t together after his ep).

@Meanlucario  
No material.
 
I’m still a fan, but i just might be the last one.
 
I mean, I’m the TwiBlood guy, for Pete’s sake.
 
I do not have a talent for picking viable ships.
 
I could have been a Titanic survivor in a past life.

@Meanlucario  
I’d like to see Zepher with Gilda. I think it would be funny.

@Meanlucario  
For Zephyr, I usually go with Pixie Cut (an IDW comic character) but lately I’ve been getting into Treehugger.

@WyrmSpawN  
That’s never fun. At least Soainshy has some art, even if most of it isn’t high quality.
 
@TheFinite  
I prefer Dash and their children dragging him everywhere.

@Brass Beau  
Oooh, Fluttershy x Rarity? That’s my second favorite MLP ship.

It’s interesting how few Gilda pairings there are. I’m not sure if she’s unpopular to pair or the overwhelming number of other ships just makes the effort unappealing. I would have thought at least Gilda and Gallus would make some headway.

@Brass Beau  
She made Flutters cry, and you know how the fandom feels about non-popular characters doing that.

@Meanlucario  
Good point. Guess that’s why Gildash is the most popular ship for her.
 
@Vatobot17  
It’s an interesting ship idea. Probably the weirdest ship I have is Rarity and Thorax.

@Brass Beau  
A ship with a changeling is always going to have weird ideas considering their ability to change shape.

@Brass Beau  
What about Coco and Thorax?
 
@Vatobot17  
I think you’re putting too much emphasis in their shape changing ability.

@Meanlucario  
I mean it’s in their name.

@Vatobot17  
And? There is more to an individual than their shape.
 

@Meanlucario  
Never really considered Coco but that may be because the only reason I even considered pairing Thorax was the idea of human Thorax being a Hollywood effects artist, long story. Rarity seems like she’d run into him doing design work for a film.

@Brass Beau  
hey what is best ship for fluttershy?

@@cameron  
I think they already said their fave ship was Discoshy/fluttercord just a day or two ago, didn’t they?
 
Or are you asking who’d be best for her, which is technically a different question.

@Background Pony #31C9  
im asking who’d be best for her

@@cameron  
Interesting. I doubt there’s a definite answer, all relationships and people being imperfect and all.
 
Just to inquire further, best in what way?

@Background Pony #31C9  
would a derpy be best for her?

@@cameron  
Hmmm. I don’t know. I don’t know if I ever got a good grasp of Derpy as her own character to give a good answer.
 
Do you like that as a ship? It is a cute thinking about it and it’s certainly an underplayed ship. I feel like Derpy’s got enough personality that you wouldn’t be working with a blank slate but would still have room to come up with your own ideas or favorite fanon stuff.
