Description
Today’s prompt is Draw a villainous pony / Draw a pony with issues. As the trio regains their bearings, they are approached by a mysterious newcomer. Lyra recognizes her as Octavia Melody, a truly villainous scoundrel from her past that she has more than a few issues with! …But really, though, she’s a great mare.
Oh, don’t forget domestic abuse being played for laughs. That’s been a staple for years.
So many times Octavia seems almost like season 1 Fluttershy, a complete and utter doormat.

I’ve always preferred orchestral stuff, personally.
And to be fair, most of the fics I’ve seen involve both parties learning to appreciate each other equally and aren’t one-sided at all. Or if they are, it’s usually because Vinyl’s the one that learns she needs to mellow out and not be so obnoxious all the time.
Just saying, there’s two sides to everything.
Fucking THANK YOU.
I have NEVER liked this ship, because Octavia is always the one who gives.
The fics are always “Octavia learns to appreciate dubstep”, never “Vinyl learns to appreciate classical music.” I presume this is because the fandom prefers dubstep, based on seven years of original “music” I’ve been subjected to (why does a cartoon with such an amazing score have a fan base with such garbage taste in music?).
As friends, yes. While I could see it working out for a couple months or so as roommates, it probably wouldn’t work for over a year, not with how they’re commonly portrayed. On that note, my disdain for the ship comes largely from how Octavia always seems to get shafted.
I don’t really MIND the ship, but I definitely prefer seeing them as friends and roommates that often get on each other’s nerves than as a couple.
Well that was exactly what I meant and is good to hear. It’s one of the worst mainstream ships in my opinion.
I don’t ship them, if that’s what you’re asking.
Now just have her not be with Vinyl and you’re golden.
Also finally someone who understands that an earth pony who carries around a cello without problems can probably break your legs just as easily.
