Shipping Thread

I’m actually surprised the fandom hasn’t been threatening to burn Hitch at the stake yet for the sake of shipping.

Who

Hitch Trailblazer, one of the new G5 main cast characters.

Pretty cool name. I ALMOST had an oc named Hitch but I was too lazy to actually draw them…technically it was just a modified version of this guy: And I planned to ship him with Applebloom.
 
Hitch…Link…similar words.
 
A lot of people already want to ship Hitch with Sunny.

@Ranch  
Won’t applebloom be dead by the time g5 comes out, assuming they’re still even in the same universe?

@Background Pony #3D82  
pretty sure they ment that their oc was for G4

@eqq_scremble  
Oh

Even if Hitch were to be revealed as Sunny’s brother, there will still be shipping. I’m still unsure if he’ll even be a main character and not a secondary character.

Well, let’s wait and see.

I love to shop ponnies

No not that one. The regular one.

I need more of confident jock Zipp flirting with shy nerd Sunny.

Why is Rarijack the most popular MLP ship?

The show pairs them up platonically or sets them as opposed to each other very often.

“Contrast between opposites” and stuff like dat

Hit me with some of your favourite mlm pairings of supporting and background characters

@Sparx  
Always nice to talk about M/M ships (in part because, uh, boys ❤). Some of my favorites are Stygian x Flash Magnus, Soarin’ x Thunderlane, Thorax x Pharynx, Star Bright x Silver Script (especially this one, I envision it like Lyrabon but with husband horses - “goldensnack” is a nice background pairing too but it doesn’t click with me as much), Troubleshoes x Braeburn, Rumble x Button Mash, and a multitude of various rule 63 ships.
 
Some other ones that I enjoy seeing here and there, but that aren’t my figureheads… any combination of Sunburst, Shining Armor, and Flash Sentry is pretty cute to me. Gallbar is cute but I do appreciate Yonabar and Gallstream too so I’m a bit split. Stygian’s kinda cute with Sombra too based off of snowberry’s (NSFW) pictures. Oh, and Garble x Fizzle is a fun one.

I’m all for opposites attract but sometimes I feel like the opposites are too extreme for the characters involved to find enough common ground for a stable relationship. Like when they share almost 0 common interests or goals.

@Ranch  
I feel that with Rarity and AJ. I ask myself where they would live, and I can’t see them making a compromise that would make both happy. Same with Dash and Flutters.
