simba86 1,541 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 I wouldn't mind watching them fall in love, maybe even get married later on, as long as twilight marries somepony other than flash! he is such a cardboard cut out plain steriotypical charactor that it litterally hurts! twilight deserves better LOL, as long as getting married does not hurt their adventures It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!

Buck Testa 5,505 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 IF they properly build it up, sure. I am an equal opportunity shipper, if they sell the pairing I'm on board. http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Star 24 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 Short answer is yes, most want canon romances The ship is sailing. *gasp* But, yes, I agree with Twilight/Flash -- they're cute together! But if something bad happens in S5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Horse 12,961 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 I'd say be prepared for many split-opinions. Shipping's and Pairings always get people arguing, at least in my experience. 1 "Always watching - Always lurking." Signature by @Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konsumo 151 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 The show would better with no pairing at all. In my opinion, romance doesn't work well in MLP:FiM... I tend to think likewise. On the other hand it really could work IF it is developed over some time and not a central theme but truth be told... I think it is pretty unlikely to happen. To introduce something like this means opening a can of worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177 April 5, 2015 Share April 5, 2015 No way, there are far too may ships for it to fly. EG Dash X Soarin becomes Canon Congrats you've pissed off the Dash X Derpy crowd the Dash X AJ crowd the Dash X Fluttershy crowd and the ridiculous amount of other ships for Dash alone. Judging by how majority of the fan base reacted when Flash and Twi were being cutesy, any canon relationships will cause chaos. Simple solution, everypony in equestria marries eachother!!!! My peep is against bullying.... Are you? http://mlpforums.com/topic/117034-suggestion-anti-bullying-campaign/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honsou 399 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 Well, they did tease us with Twilicorn and Flash Sentry in the movies, however, we have to remember this show is marketed at 6 year girls, not us adults who need to grow up. Hmmm, now a backstory on Celestia and Luna would be a great episode. Heck, even to find out how they got their cutie marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conred 274 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 Well the guys who confirm the storyline in the comics are also responsible for storyline in FiM so they may also introduce us to Somblestia at one point. Mike Vogel, the ex-Hasbro president of development of MLP is even becoming a writer for S6 and he know about every comic detail he approved.

UnknownFry 169 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 (edited) Yes and no, Some would be upset because their shipping is getting wrecked, but the on the other hand romance could open an entire new dynamic to beloved characters as well. s, it was a pretty bad reception with the whole Flash and Twilight thing in EQG and people were pissed Actually the reception was better than expected which is why Flash is getting his own doll for Friendship Games, and seemingly a larger role in the next film.

Adorkable 2,737 April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 Like Twi and Flash? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRzUjlwNDZM I mean, they did marry Cadence and Shining Armor, but to ever actually put one of the Mane 6 with a guy? That's kind of sketchy, since it's still a kid's show in a way, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight_Sparkle32 3 April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 I don't think any of the Mane 6 should be in relationships with anypony, but anypony else would be fine (Cherilee + BigMac for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conred 274 April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 Well they don't pretend it doesn't exist. Cranky and Matilda wedding is going to be canon in S5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrus 696 April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 Mmmmm depends. If they try to make romance with a main character it probably won't go well, but if it's just a side character like for example Luna it might fly §I Was Born Awesome, Not Perfect§ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlbrony 5 April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 I don't know but I think the spike X Rarity thing is good but Twilight X flash wasn't good because it was to................. 'high schooliy' but I think other than spiketiy, I think that any other mane 6 romance would break peoples head cannons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArDee 100 April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 (edited) Main cast, never in a million years (see Brad, see also waifu-stealing)...BPs, yes, as they've already done so without visible fandom backlash. (see Hearts and Hooves Day, see also A Canterlot Wedding) I don't think it'll ever be a good idea to make certain romances canon with regards to the main show, at least where the Mane Six, villains (namely Discord), the Princesses, etc. are concerned. Other minor characters, I can't see there being as many, if any, problems with. Not that I think Hasbro ever really would include romance with the main cast in-show (FlashLight doesn't count, because screw Brad and also EQG != canon) considering most of the potential options, due to the gender ratio, are lesbian, and any stallions are either bit-part BPs or "picker-is-broken" choices like Blueblood, Sombra, or Flim/Flam. I suppose Sparity miight an exception to the rule, though I don't know how much farther they'll go with that plot thread. They can sort of get away with it because it's basically a childhood crush that probably won't go much of anywhere in-show. Also because putting in relationships would probably send the show into a swift downward spiral, as it'd be falling into the same "girl's show" tropes and stereotypes that Faust specifically designed the reboot show to avoid. We don't need FiM relapsing into the Lovecraftian horror of TALES. "Tidings of madness and woe," indeed... Edited April 8, 2015 by RCTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simba86 1,541 April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 I would love to see some pony romance! I think it would be great to add that dynamic It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
