Shipping Opinions #5: FlutterPie

The ever-so-rare, yet ever-so-sweet pairing of Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie is one of my favorites.

I'm honestly surprised that this isn't one of the more common ships within the fandom, because all the pieces are there for what could be a very cute relationship. Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness, and Pinkie Pie, Laughter, seem to go hand-in-hand (hoof-in-hoof?). Both of them want to make other ponies happy, they just have different methods to achieve the same result.

Furthermore, it does seem as though Pinkie takes special consideration for Fluttershy's feelings. If one watches the episode "Griffon the Brush-Off", one sees that Pinkie Pie doesn't want to pull pranks on her shy friend because she knows Fluttershy couldn't handle it.

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie definitely deserve more shipping love.

Shipping Opinions #4: TwiMac (and FlutterMac)

I can't help but love this pairing. Twilight is so adorably dorky, and Big Macintosh is kind, quiet, and hard-working. To me, they seem as if they were almost made for each other.

I know lots of people prefer to ship Fluttershy and Big Mac, but, in my mind, it doesn't really work. They're both too shy to approach one another, and I have a feeling that a date between these two would be filled with lots of blushing and awkward silences.

Twilight, on the other hand, is somewhat introverted and bookish, but still outgoing enough to get Big Mac to come out of his shell. Another thing that would draw them together is that they're both really passionate about what they do. Twilight works just as hard at her studies and Mac does at his farming. I just find this to be an incredibly cute couple.

My Favorite PMV

This is completely random and stupid, but I must say that the PMV I found for the song "I'm Awesome" by Spose is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

Shipping Opinions #3: RariDash

Somehow, this ship has become my new favorite thing. If you asked me a few weeks ago, I would have been disgusted, but it's grown on me. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that's the way it is.

I think Rarity and Rainbow Dash are kindred spirits in a way. Both put up a facade of confidence, but underneath it all, they're both very insecure. Proof of Rarity's insecurity: Suited For Success and Sweet and Elite. Proof for Rainbow Dash: Sonic Rainboom and The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well. 

Speaking of Sonic Rainboom, Rainbow saves Rarity's life at the end. You can't tell me that didn't change their relationship on some level.

So, yeah, I like it!

Shipping Opinions #2: Pinkie Pie/Rainbow Dash

I'll be honest. I really, really hate this pairing. I can see why people like to ship them, especially after Griffon the Brush-Off, but to me Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash have more of a bromance. Or whatever the female equivalent of bromance is. Yeah, that.

The dynamic between Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash puts me in mind of a show from my childhood. That's right, Kenan and Kel. Those two were such good friends, and I think Rainbow and Pinkie have a similar relationship.
