Admiral Regulus 2,769 March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 I'm not sure how I'd feel about this. On one hoof, it would completely ruin the vibe I get from the show. I like how the writers have portrayed infatuation in a negative light thus far, and I'd really appreciate it if they'd stick with that. I like how it hasn't been the focus of each of the character's developments. On the other hoof, if done properly, it may not be too bad. I mean... how bad could it really be, y'know? If worst comes to worst, we'll just have a few awful episodes. Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsIsNotAlone 3,697 March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 Only one that's ever really worked out is Shining x Cadance. And that's because they introduced both characters for the purpose of selling toys being in love and getting married. If anyone felt betrayed there, it was the fans who took offense at Twilight having a brother she'd never mentioned earlier. (I kind of miss the days when that and Derpygate were the biggest things we had to complain about. xD). While unrequited attractions can be reasonably funny, like Rarity/Spike and Trenderhoof/Applejack, I think the show wants to avoid committing to romance involving the main characters because Lauren Faust never viewed it as necessary and the current show runners agree. It would also be nice if they were intentionally holding off on it to avoid upsetting us, but I'm not so sure about that part. "Human beings fascinate me Being just the way they are..."

yisetab28 89 March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 What would you guys think if the writers deceide to explore romantic plots in season 5? As much as I think it would be a little different than the show usual tone, I'm cna't help but get curious about how certain characters could be handled. Take raimbowdash for exemple, it would very amusing to see her as a tsundere of some sort, and the other mane 6 reaction could be fun. So far only twilight and rarity had these kind of focus on love life, so i hope the authors explore this angle with the others. Thoughts? As long as it isn't a Flash Sentry fail I'm perfectly fine with the mane 6 finding somepony special I would like to see a story about somepony who is in love with Pinkie Pie. Cheese sandwich maybe?

Ashen Pathfinder 16,165 March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 It wouldn't bother me too much, but it needs to be done in a manner that is mature and respectful to both individuals. They don't need to be perfect for each other, but one doesn't need to be a jerk and the other doesn't need to be someone who "can't live without the other." With that in mind, I don't have anything against the so-called "FlashLight" ship as I find Flash Sentry to be a likable, if uninteresting, character, though I hope the writers can do better than that in the show if they so choose to pursue such an idea.
