Sunny and Hitch's relationship.

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

We can infer that Sunny and Hitch are close from their interaction in their introduction video, but what exactly is their relationship? Siblings? Childhood friends?

Brother and sister. Lets make this my little alabama.

It's not like characters being related has stopped people from shipping them before.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

I ship the mystery siblings....

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

They seem like they could be related....yet LOL I still ship them both.  I'm gonna say they're cousins. 

[Landi 600]

Well at first I thought they were siblings, but ever since Pipp and Zipp's reveal I've been thinking otherwise. Now my guess is that they are either cousins or potential lovers (or maybe close friends who secretly love each other).

[Splashee 28,563]

I searched for the video on YouTube but didn't find it. That is one reason I think they are not in a relationship.

 

As for remembering that weird playfully shoving video, it was not the best use of 3D animation, very confusing what it meant to people. Definitely the wrong move of Hasbro to release it I really mean it.

Though, my goat sense is telling me that Hitch is gonna be simping for Pipp

I don’t and never will understand the fandom’s immediate jump to ship characters due to them having a singular interaction.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Playfully shoving each other is not an indication of romance. 
It’s not an indication of anything other than them being friends, maybe siblings. 

Sunny, Hitch, Izzy, and Zipp are the main cast. They are all close. I know that shipping occurs in every franchise but the degree it is applied with this fandom is ridiculous.

Can we please stop with these two? 

There's no stopping shippers in these situations.

True. But when it comes to shipping I keep an open mind and as long as the two characters are happy together, I wouldn't in character try to break them apart.

Anyway I kind of hope that they are brother and sister. 

[Stardust 641]

Maybe brother and sister then again we have pipp and zipp already. 

Not sure if they r lovers tho lol 

Could just be close friends 

[Pentium100 2,122]

I don't like romance, so I hope they are brother and sister.

[EpicEnergy 23,183]

Judging from the video with them playfully shoving each other, they can either be close friends or siblings. The playful shoving could be viewed as flirting, or it could be viewed simply as being playful. Either way though, it is an indicator of a close relationship.

by that I mean that I hope they're siblings or related. 

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

They haven’t been given any shout out in sibling day, so the sibling theory is put into question. Sunny seems to be or have been a scout pony, and Hitch seems to be the same, so it’s possible they are close friends. They may be cousins as well

Two complete strangers who become lifelong friends at the end of one 20 minute episode.

I find it highly doubtful. That tease seems to imply they have known each other for years 

[Skylight Scintillate 2,007]

Yeah I also find it strange that nothing was mentioned about their relationship on siblings day. Like some of the other posts mentioned, I'm thinking cousins. It seems like they know each other quite well and have been for quite some time.

[Tao 7,584]

 I feel like they are sibs or cuzens at least given they do look like the other a bit.  

[North Star 5,227]

I mean... they're obviously friends because friends setting off on an adventure is basically every kids movie, but I love the range of responses in the thread:

• Brother & Sister (6). @Monotonality @Kujamih @Lucky Bolt @Will Guide @Pentium100 @flurry @Tao 
• Cousins/Friends (7) @Tao @Winged Sea350pony @Steve Piranha @EpicEnergy @flurry @The Wife of Hawks @Goat-kun @abrony-mouse

(Flurry and Tao are on the fence)

Reasons for choice:

• Brother & Sister
  • To ship them / you cannot stop the ship @Monotonality @Kujamih @Lucky Bolt ( @DJ Wolfe )@Will Guide
  • To not ship them / stop shipping @Pentium100
  • Similar looking @Tao
  • Meta-reasons (eg kids movies work like this...) @flurry
• Cousins/friends
  • Close but not shipping  @Winged Sea350pony @Steve Piranha @Goat-kun 
  • Shippish @EpicEnergy  @flurry
  • Meta-reasons (eg the Mane 5 balance) @Steve Piranha@The Wife of Hawks@abrony-mouse

On balance brother & sister is most aligned with shipping so far  People who think it's cousins/friends are least likely to want shipping. Ok then.

I'm a bit of a sucker for romance so I kinda want them to be two friends who are crushing on each other. I don't mind though if they're siblings or just regular friends instead.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

Oh I never thought of them as bro and sis though... I was just putting it out there  @abrony-mouse

Because there's already a sibling theme...

Having a male, I’m sure there will be romance involved, but I don’t think it’s going to be between them 

[Will Guide 21,360]

@abrony-mouse

Just remember I'm not necessarily shipping the two characters; I'm just wondering if their brother and sister. Even if they're not brother and sister I would like to see their interactions off each other

[DJ Wolfe 5,334]

@abrony-mouse

As @Will Guide has stated, I am also not shipping the two in any way. My response was specifically to say that this shipping was inevitable the minute shippers set their eyes on something new. 

[Pentium100 2,122]

People ship everyone with everyone, even if it does not make sense.

I can easily avoid the shipfics, but I would prefer if the main show did not have shipping in it.

If they are brother and sister, then they will definitely not be shipped in the main show.
