If you could make ONE shipping canon... (discussion)

(That looks weird written out!)

 

That would be the royal wedding I want to see! Twilight obviously loves her former teacher. Perhaps someday, Celestia will decide to risk loving her in return, after unknown centuries of loneliness.

Soarin and Rainbow dash. DEFINITELY soarin and rainbow dash. I used to dislike this pairing, but ever since Rainbow falls, I've really grown to love it.

 

 

Celestia implied that Discord already ruled Equestria in a stated of misery, when she and Luna arrived, so I doubt there would have been much of a chance for them becoming friends...

That was back under Faust's canon though; the journal of the two sisters and hearth's warming eve seems to have retconned things so that Luna and celestia were rulers long before Discord showed up, since the ponies had all moved to equestria and settled down with the two being crowned rulers at a young age long before they got the elements.

Big Mac x Cheerilee

Hear me out: In Hearts and Hooves Day, the ship was definitely forced (for the sake of the plot/comedy), but this sleeper ship has been subtly simmering ever since. At the end of that same episode, they presumably go to have a fun talk while the cmc work on their punishment. it seems like this would go a lot smoother than the forced environment earlier in the episode. In Filli Vanilli, Cheerilee, who is at the front row of a performance, faints at Big Mac's lip synched performance by flutterguy. This suggests that she has the capability of being swooned by Big Mac, and cheerilee even goes on to request another performance by the group at her school. This seed could someday blossom into a lovely relationship. Big Mac has ever so slowly begun to open up on this show, and I think it would add another layer to his character if he finally got to the point where he was comfortable talking with cheerilee .

Big Mac and Cheerilee is already canon. :)

Just about everything about those two's relationship intrigues me: The fact that at it started out as him just gushing about her and how she slowly gained some affection for him. The fact that his feelings for Rarity were strong enough for him to overcome his nature.

How Rarity might not be sure what exactlyher feelings for him are.That they are different species and all the problems and stigma that come with that.There could be a lesson about how appearances don't matter, as long as two beings are in love.

You could do a whole season about these two coming together.

 

Pretty much agree with everything you say here. It's the one ship that wouldn't get stale the moment it was officially canonized (aka, the "Moonlighting Syndrome", when two characters finally tell each other they love one another, all the energy goes out of the relationship), for the reasons you give above.

 

As for my own reason why this ship should be canon, you alluded to it above, and I'll go back to exactly what I said in another thread:

 

A dragon's innate greed tempered by the object of his affection's innate generosity.

 

I find it unlikely to be a mere coincidence that Lauren Faust paired what would normally be a greedy dragon with the Element of Generosity in the very first episode. It seems to me she always meant these two to be together someday in a complementary relationship. But, I'm not up on her past tweets, so who knows, I could be totally wrong if she's tweeted otherwise.  :lol:

 

In any case, Spike's relationship with her should be better defined as either friends or something else rather than leaving his emotions in limbo. They keep trying to friendzone him but then another writer comes along and revives it again!

Well, I agree with others here in that making a ship canon would upset people that didn't agree with the ship, so I wouldn't do so even if it was in my power. But I will say that I really like Twilight and Discord; they have that whole 'opposites attract' thing going on--she's basically the embodiment of order and erudition while he's the embodiment of chaos and facetiousness. Of course, if I were to pair these two together I'd keep it platonic, but I think them getting on each-other's nerves and bickering in an innocuous kind of way would be cute.

If a new canon ship was to be introduced, I would want it to be subtle. Romantic love is a part of life that kids can benefit from learning about, but the focus of the show and the subjects of lessons it teaches are and should stay friendship. Between the Cakes, Matilda and Cranky, and Shining and Cadence, I think we have a healthy amount of romantic relationships on the show.

 

However, I would like to see a canon homosexual relationship. I think we're at the point in our culture where it is time to ditch the taboo of anything gay appearing in children's media. If we are accepting of homosexuality, there should be no reason not to represent it in a show that already represents heterosexual love. It doesn't have to be a soapbox episode, just Lyra and Bonbon having relationship troubles and coming to one of the Mane Six for advice or something. I think MLP is the perfect show to take on this challenge, because there will be backlash. Hasbro would probably take a financial hit. There are still plenty of homophobic parents out there who would probably boycott the brand if they came out as gay positive and regardless of the personal feelings of the Hasbro execs, they are a business and the bottom line is what matters most.

 

I would like to see some brave Hasbro execs make this choice, and I think the obvious ship is LyraxBonbon since they are already a popular fanon ship so it would ruffle less feathers on our side of things anyway.

If LyraXBonBon became canon, it would be great. There's a chance that it could tank and MLP could start failing, but there's a chance it could lead to even more acceptance of this kind of thing.

Maybe Celestia x Discord. It would be interesting for both characters (especially Celestia), and it will end the Fluttershy x Discord ship that I don't like.

Did you watch the new Friendship Games short? They pretty much are a couple now.

I've got one that'll blow your mind. Seriously, I just thought of it and it's f**cking amazing. Are you ready?

 

Look it you dare...

 

But only if you're prepared to have your mind blown.

Which short is that? I can't seem to find those two in any of them. Is it a subtle background thing?

Look for "all's fair in love and friendship games" short on "My Little Pony (company)" Facebook page. It opens and ends with the Friendship Games

I don't want to give much a way but the iris out (you know the circle thing like in loony tunes closing) is a heart. Go to the equestria girls section and they'll be a thread for the 3rd short with a link.
