A Perfect Pair - Gone but not forgotten

 

I'm including both of these characters together since they are indeed the perfect pair. I'm a hopeless romantic who was lucky enough to live a great romance and this couple is hooves down the greatest depiction of romantic love in FiM. This is as close to a holy grail OTP that the show can ever hope to achieve.

Their story is as epic as the anticipation of finally seeing them depicted as characters, fully realized. The writers did not disappoint when crafting their love story. Many of us have waited years for this moment. 

I hope this topic will stand as a way to showcase them as a couple and also individually. A thread to remember them by in a sense.

The episode was absolutely amazing, and their development into a romantic relationship is the key reason. In 22 minutes, the Sister Writers developed one that felt completely real. In a series with a lot of badly-written romances, it's not only a breath of fresh air, but a major surprise, IMO.

Here's an image I found on Derpibooru.

A very beautiful episode and an episode I will remember for many years to come for many many reasons.

I have a feeling that these two will be featured heavily in fan art. I also cannot wait for the fics. So much opened for possibilities now!

Aye. Second parent this season to have a VA that really made the character feel alive to me. Felicia Day's delivery felt crazy natural. 

"Quiet you", is one of my favorite lines.

EDIT actually meant second female parent .... both Bright Mac and Bow were done very well too.

This pair felt truly genuine, and they touched me. Having watched the episode with @Jeric was something special, and these two...man...I can't say enough.

[Lacerna 1,302]

I cam back recently to this forum, and I am so so glad that there is a topic for these two.

I personally think none of the episodes will top this one. It was high anticipated, and they blew me away with how perfect this was.

I made a really quick icon of which you can see as my avatar of Pear Butter, and I am so glad they made her design that way. 

10/10 stars.

[Jeric 46,834]

 

I swear that before the summer is over, I'll have seen this episode over a dozen times. 

Also, the fam together. What is it about putting your hat on a kid that makes it such and endearing moment?

 

[Tilgoreth 1,915]

It's great too see that there ere so many people touched by this episode. And all the people who came back too draw fanart just for this episode. I just think it's amazing that tv show designed for little girls could touch so many people.

[jorge123esp 912]

I love this pair. Is probably one of the cutiest and most beautiful pairs I ever seen. They match so well. I hope we will see more about them in future episodes.

Meanwhile, we can enjoy with some great pictures of them (I'll make one too, but I'm more busy with 2 drawings):

Well, I see why Bright Mac fell for her

That scene and her laugh afterwards gave her soooo much personality in such a little time. I need to find a gif of that laugh, it was so well done. 

Stumbled on this looking for one. 

 

[Jeric 46,834]

This comes from Mirroredsea and I have been waiting for this

Looking good Pear Butter

[Luigi 7,868]

Just saw the episode for myself. It sure was great. It's like Romeo and Juliet without the tragedy.

Presumably there was one though, or they would still be around

I know, right?

By the way, for those who thought Romeo and Julliet was an awful love story, you might want to watch this editorial:

While it may have been a tragedy, R+J was more about being close-minded can hurt the people you love.

Oh come on. There's no actual proof that they're dead.

Sure there is. 

"All I know about your parents was that they loved each other very much".

Not only was that dialog piece in past tense, it was in past tense with third parties related to each other -- how they felt toward each other. Even without context of the theme of the episode, that means they no longer exist, or they no longer love each other. Add in the context and they certainly didn't mean it to be they fell out of love. 

Language is a powerful communication tool when it is used to craft a story. It also provides definitive and empirically sound evidence that they are, in fact, deceased. 

 

...

Now that my authorial mind is resharpened .... I need to probably retool the OP to frame that.

These two are adorable and sanguine at the same time. 

[CypherHoof 26,479]

LF apparently said it's her headcannon that they are dead, but it has never been explicitly stated so the writers of the show are free to change that if they feel the need. I can't see it ever being shown explicitly though, given it's a kids show regardless of how old some of us "kids" are.

It was told explicitly that they are no longer present though (as well as no longer presently in love) in the episode multiple times. 

Robin Koska actually explicitly stated it during a panel last year and this was after her work on this episode ... where she actually designed Pear Butter and Bright Mac.

No they are dead. When the show's logic and authorial intent align, it is ignorant to not accept it even if you don't like it.
