I’m so glad this was made featured.

I think this was made before Mudbriar existed too. But regardless of when it was made, I think people can (and should) be free to make art and fanfiction of non-canon ships too (and this is coming from a person who likes looking at canon ships too). The artist that made this really loved the two’s dynamics in the comics.

At first, I didn’t like this ship, but over time it kinda grew on me. I think a combination of art from this artist as well as their dynamics in the comics warmed me up to it. Even disregarding those previous reasons, I could see the two of them getting along pretty well, especially giving their hobbies and passion for gems.

Very nice pic.

I despise it too and agree with that. Maud ftw.

I don’t usually like shipping characters, but these two make the bestest of friends.

Rarity with short hair?! More thank you!

Not at all a fan of the ship, but the artwork is adorable though!

Good ship.

@DarkyBoode32  
Quite the opposite, the featured image is ordinarily a well-made older image that didn’t quite get the recognition it might have otherwise deserved when it was uploaded. I don’t think I’ve seen too many images featured that weren’t at least a few weeks old at their newest the entire time I’ve been here.

Rocks and Diamonds!

Yay no more bugs!!

@Selaphiel  
Yeah, I wonder why Rarity has her mane cut short.

Very cute! How come I’ve never seen this ship before?

@TwentiethBeef  
I thought featured images on derpibooru were new.

@DarkyBoode32  
Why do so many fans struggle to comprehend the reality that fan-work is under no obligation to follow canon?

@DarkyBoode32  
I believe this image was made before Mudbriar was introduced.

Maud is already taken.

Short hair Rarity ftw

Oh man, never thought I’d see Kilala on featured. It’s sad to see her stop making art more than every so often.

What a cute feature~

I love this so much.

One of my favorite artists, drawing one of my top ships, with short haired Rarity  
Holy shit this is the best

Yes. Y E S.

I love being covered in Maud!

Very cute

Cuuute~ :3
