I would say FlutterCord but that already more or less canon....

 

 

Oh, i know! Random Human X Princess Luna. :icwudt:

Derpy and Doctor Whooves. I mean, it's just the perfect ship!

I don't really care for other ships, but I really like this ship. The Doctor and his companion.


This is a WIP.

Why are you still looking at this?

Seriously. You should have looked away by now.

Congratulations. You have read the 4th line.

I can't believe you are still here. *sighs and walks away*

Cheerimac, yo.

 

Nah, but really. Although I am a casual shipper at times who enjoys a small handful of pairings, I still acknowledge that this is a show about friendship first and foremost, and it is very refreshing and satisfying to be able to enjoy a story that isn't rife with cheesy romance like literally almost any other popular media you can think of. Romance always seems to be at the forefront of stories that are either aimed at girls or contain an ensemble cast of females, but I think good solid friendships are worth celebrating too, and that's why this show is special, because it puts friendships first while keeping romance to a bare minimum, and does it so well. There's more to life than romantic relationships, and it's a good message to send to any audience.

 

So yeah, I don't want any canon relationships, at least not with the major characters of the series. I'm perfectly fine with the secondary cast getting in on the action, like the aforementioned Cheerimac and the ever popular LyraBon, both of which are heavily implied, thought the latter will probably never become explicit due to it being same-sex (something that's still taboo in many countries where MLP airs). I'm also perfectly happy with whatever shiptease the writers conjure up, because there's a laundry list of that sort of thing already. But by not making any major characters pair up canonically, it gives fans the freedom to headcanon and fanfic write all they want to. :P

I would make every shipping canon that have an established chemistry and friendship within the canon. Derpy/Doctor, Lyra/Bon, Discord/Fluttershy, Cheerilee/BigMac and even Pinkie/Cheese would feel more natural than any random shipping from the fandom and they would feel genuine than already canon Shining/Cadance or Matilda/Cranky

Braeburn and Little Strongheart. (Be honest, who was surprised these two even showed up in this thread as a ship?) Notable for being the only ship I'm really serious about.

The two were both advocates for trying to understand the other's problems without it coming to violence and it was their respective leaders that pushed them in that direction.

 

I can't deny a little personal xenophilia fantasy. I do like it when two people of different cultures find a connection that leads to romantic attraction. 

 

Most of all, the two of them are kind of similar yet different in all the right ways. Braeburn is in your face and excitable meanwhile Strongheart is a bit more mellow and usually a calming element, what they have in common though is a pride of their heritage and a love for their people.

Sparity(Spike x Rarity) -BUT, ONLY AS A FUTURE RELATIONSHIP. Spike is still much younger than she is, and as it currently is, would promote pedophilia.

 

Note: Pedophilia is bad.

Also note: Older gals should not be neglected just because of their age.

 

If anything, read/watch "Like Fine Wine". It will blow yer mind.

Discord x Celestia

 

While I don't particularly care for the idea that they were in a romantic relationship as youngsters, I believe it would be interesting, now that Discord is reformed (at least, no longer a threat to Equestria), to see his friendship with Celestia deepen. Perhaps Discord and Celestia's relationship would turn into something more.

Making ships actually cannon would ruin fanfictions. When you add a cannon ship in the middle of the series, I would think it would shunt the creativity of fanfic writers. Plus I like when fanfic writers show how that ship came to be.
