It’s an old chart – it was posted on DA in April 2012, whereas “Keep Calm and Flutter On” aired in January 2013. At that time, Discord wouldn’t have had much more of a link to Fluttershy than to any other member of the main six. In a way, it’s a rather fascinating look into the early fandom, or at least the fandom as it was by the end of Season 2!
You know what bothers me about this chart? The lack of Fluttercord. I’ve searched and squinted and I don’t see a line connecting Fluttershy and Discord once.
Turns out I completely forgot about SunsetSparkle (which is not depicted on the graph) when making the list a few posts earlier. It’s just above LyraBon.

daringdash is cool. Rainbow dash knows that daring do is real and believes in her stories she is the only one who believes in daring do. But quibble pants don’t believe in their stories nor believe that daring is real. They are both fans but they are different and they are not true loves they just are friends. Rainbow dash is not in love with anyone and there is no one like her more than daring do.

If you are referring to why Twidash, Sunsetsparkle and Rarijack are better than SoarinDash and Flashlight (ESPECIALLY FLASHLIGHT), it comes down to the other character. Flash pony is a freaking nothing character with, like, 2 lines of dialogue, only one of which is directed at Twilight. Heck, Twilight has never talked to him.
Soarin was shipped with Rainbow during the time soarin was nothing more than, ‘my pie!!!’,which makes it completely devoid of character.
Shipping Sunset and Twilight together, or Rarity and Applejack is a no brainer since they have SO much screen time and dialogue together. Twidash is a little bit less, but still follows the same principle.
It ships the two most popular characters with each other, a common thing in any fandom.
Second, Twilight do have really good exchanges, and their episodes together are really fun, so I can u understand it. Third, it’s nearly a classic/cliche, ‘Nerd and Jock fall for each other’, so as a Rarijack shipper, I can totally see the appeal since Rarijack is cliche, ‘city and country’.
Of course, Rainbow isn’t a Jock, and Rarity isn’t a city girl, but the similarities are there.
One more thing. Twidash is high tier, but it currently isn’t bigger than Rarijack, and that isn’t as big as sparity. One nice thing to note is that Sparity has always been leagues ahead, usually over a thousand images bigger than Rarijack. Now it’s only 700.
Now, while I much prefer Sunsetsparkle to Twidash, both are very good :)
|| Both are a Hell of a lot better than SoarinDash and Flashlight||
WTF who ships Twidash and why is that the biggest one? It’s not even a good opposites pairing like Aj & rarity. The only unique bond between them is books, primarily daring doo. W/e, not a big RD fan myself.
