Wait, Equestria uses bills, too!?

You assume characters need any sort of connection to be shipped. All it takes is for them to merely exist and their the OTP to end all. king Sombra and Lyra OTP 4 LYFE.

Now that my thoughts have been set free from my initial expectations set by “four stallions in a bar” (time for therapy, methinks), this doesn’t look at all like a shipping pic to me. Soarin and Brae aren’t even touching or anything. You’re fine.

Somehow, I’m not surprised that Shining’s life is turning into Al Bundy’s.

@Kamazeustra  
Yeah, I think he could use a hug.
 
And possibly a hoofjob. :P

Ouch :(

@SFaccountant @RedStallion  
Heh, honestly I wasn’t sure how to go about tagging it since I usually filter shipping completely (and thus don’t follow it enough) and I always hear of different thresholds or tagging guidelines from different people, to the point I can’t even use common sense/a gut feeling, because admittedly I lack both when it comes to shipping.
 
Either way, I was expecting to read “Ugh, tag your soarburn/gay stuff please” or “Um, this isn’t gay enough for me so don’t tag it as that” whether I added the tags or not. That or if I said I was unsure or that people should tag as they please (because I’m totally fine with that), I’d get told to ask the artist or that I shouldn’t have uploaded this if I didn’t know.
 
The “safest” option (tag it soarburn and let it be filtered away by those who don’t want to see it; I tag a lot already anyway) wasn’t safe after all, apparently.

“YOU I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAR!”  
“enope.”  
“ok fine lets just go to a normal bar a see how things go from there.”

@SFaccountant  
From the thumbnail I also thought it was a gay bar.

I swear that the first couple times I read the text that it said “gay” bar.  
Evidently that’s where my mind goes now whenever I see these four in the same picture.  
GodDAMMIT Derpibooru,! What have you done to me?!

I think it’s just one of those sucky moments that stand out but don’t really mean anything overall.

This is rapidly turning into “Shining Armor suffers depression”.
