Well here is an idea to up the shipping discussion. For you creative types (artists, writers, etc), what cast characters, and/or OC characters have you shipped in your creative endeavors? For you RPers, what cast and/or OC characters that you play are current shipped (and with who)? I want to hear from all you shippers! For myself, in art I have shipped the following either on my own, or as requests or commissions: PinkieDash PinkieDashFire (as in Spitfire) DashFireSoarin' FireSoarin' DashMac LyraBon CheerileeBumpkin VinylTavia CelstiaRarity Oddly I don't draw a lot of ship now that I think about it, or people don't request it often of me (instead asking for pics of single characters). As for RP, it goes as follows: Carrot Fields - Currently single, his little sister believes all he has on the mind are mares. Martini Paradise - The Marion to Brazil Nut's Indy Jones persona, a classic ship Sunrise Beach - Very young filly, equivalent to a 12 year old girl, has celebrity crushes. Trixie - Not entirely unshippable, but man good luck in your efforts. Braeburn - Single, may be a bit oblivious at times despite the whole gentlestallion demeanor (when he isn't too excited or busy being competitive). Cheerilee - Dating Apple Bumpkin Flitter - Living with marefriend Cloudchaser. Ships in RP for me are things that just usually develop over time.

One ship I have seen more of lately is Cheerilee X Sombra; I don't even know how that works. I personally tend to ship background characters more, but I do like Twixie. Edit: How could I forget! FlitterChaser!

I don't know anyone who does that!

Well you have to draw or find a good ship pic, or write or find a good ship story?

I have several ships I personally like, although oddly I am one of those not into mane six shipping with each other. LyraBon is my OTP I also like FlutterMac Oddly VinylTavia is something I like better when they are just the 'odd couple' roomies. I kinda like the idea of Scootabelle when they are older. And for ponies no one really cares for, I am a TwistSnails fan.

RP Certified are people who have at least one approved character for RP and thus able to post in the World of Equestria section; members are everyone with no extra requirements.

Suddenly people's headcanons are sanctioned!

Carrot Fields listened as Dash talked about the Daring Do books, which was interesting enough given their mutual interest. His ears though perked up when she mentioned her librarian friend, Twilight was the one who got the cute pegasus into them. This was the second mare he knew that talked about the librarian as their friend. "[colour=#ff8c00]Ah ne'er bin tae th' local library myself yit, Ah hae seen it thocht. applejack tauld me 'at th' librarian was a friend ay hers also; Ah shoods dae an' see if they hae onie guid astronomy books!"[/colour] That sounded pretty "egghead" in itself, but what else could he say? Visit the library because he wanted to see how cute the librarian was? Fortunately, Dash's competitive nature changed the subject before it could get even more awkward. He rocked back, eyes wide, when she accepted his unintended challenge with gusto. Carrot wasn't caught off guard for long - he shook it off and leaned forward over the table, grinning eagerly. He wasn't the type to just back down, no matter how she he was around the mares or how cute they were! He would not only accept, but up the ante as well! [colour=#ff8c00]"Hoo abit tois pepperjack-stuffed insanity peppers wi' th' drinks, each! ur ye up fur 'at, Rainbaw Dash?!"[/colour]

[colour=#FF8C00]Carrot Fields[/colour] Carrot wasn't sure what to do next, other than to keep anything caffeinated or sugary away from the pink maned mare, who appeared so focused on her eccentric mixing and lost in her own world, that she had forgotten he was even there. Of course this suited the ruddy maned stallion just fine, as the very thought of having the frankly nuts mare getting her hooves of the bag of coffee beans was too frightening of a proposition to contemplate. With the opportunity given to him by Pinkie's unmindful focus on the bowl in front of her, Carrot slide the bag of coffee beans snugly behind some of the barrels. Figuring he'll tell Applejack where it is later, he actually felt proud that he kept his promise to the orange mare to keep the beans safely out of the mix, as silly of a "victory" as that may be. That just left Carrot with the two other mares in the room. the magically dressed Rainbow Dash, and her rather grubby but still amazingly stunning white unicorn friend who's name he couldn't recall. Carrot just gave a huge smile, which he hoped was charming but more likely looked goofy and awkward, [colour=#ff8c00]"Shoods we gang it intae th' main room? we dornt want tae miss th' present openings, an' mah sister brooght a cake! Large enaw fur everypony tae gie a slice tay!"[/colour] With no delay, he moved some of the half empty bags and debris off the floor to clear a path for the two mares, [colour=#ff8c00]"Thaur ye gang ladies, we dornt want tae gie 'at frock dirty, yoo're jist sae bonnie in it."[/colour]. He wanted to sound gentlestallion like, but likely it just sounded like complete cornball, but it certainly couldn't hurt to compliment a mare, could it? Unless they hated cornball. [colour=#800080]Cheerilee[/colour] Cheerilee watched with both joy and apprehension as Applebloom opened each of her presents. Although undoubtedly Cheerilee would be welcomed to this occasion even if she had no present, the purple maned mare didn't like to idea of attending a party without at least some sort of gift to occur. In this particular case, she did, only to loose it in the chaos; at least Purple Haze and Guilding Light were sorting through the refuse looking for it. Cheerilee did her own passive searching, not wanting to give the impression she wasn't watching Abby open her gifts, or Celestia forbid, draw attention to herself in this embarrassing situation. Cheerilee looked over at the two foals helping her out and whispered quietly as best she could, [colour=#800080]"any luck in finding it?"[/colour] Hopefully it won't be found via the bottom of a hoof.

Trixie just rolled her eyes as she witnessed the antics at the front of the line, it was bad enough that the whole line already moved too slow for her tastes; she didn't want to be around this town any longer than she had to be. Too many bad memories, too many mistakes. Still food was food, and buying apples here meant not having to go into town and deal with all the mistrust and stares, besides the idea of having one of Twilight's friends kiss her amused Trixie. It wasn't out of desire for revenge, she had learned her lesson there, but more simply to placate her ego. Besides this was a good way to gauge if the Ponyvillians still held any ill will. Trixie was content with awaiting her turn, more curious about the kiss than about the apples when the griffon behind her poked her! The azure coloured unicorn looked back with an incredulous expression, but held back her usual verbally aggressive tearing down in response to such a rude invasion of her private space; griffons were much larger and stronger than ponies. [colour=#6699cc]"He just said what he honestly felt, Trixie admires that! Besides what makes that Apple- uhh… Orange farmer a hero anyway? Trixie has never seen her do anything amazing!"[/colour] Sounded like that farmer just got kudos for riding on the coat tails of her unicorn buddy! Figures, unicorns do all the real work! As she let out a sigh, Trixie was about to turn back around and wait in silence, having no comment on, nor caring about how "hunky" some griffon thought of the large stallion milling about. The griffon appeared though to be determined to give the poor unicorn no peace, again attempting conversation. Trixie squeezed her eyes shut for a few seconds, and counted internally before finally replying in exasperation, [colour=#6699cc]"My name is Trixie, not "little blue" thank you very much! Actually my sobriquet is Great and Powerful Trixie, the snow mare of magic, the mistress of the stage!" [/colour] At this point Trixie was on her hind legs with her forehooves up in the air, her rather ragged cape billowing sight in the breeze, it didn't look nearly as impressive as she hoped, and Trixie quickly came back down to stand on all fours before speaking in a much more hushed tone. [colour=#6699cc] "To answer your question though, the Great and Powerful Trixie has been traveling the land a great deal; after all there are many shows to perform, many great deeds to achieve! Right now though, Trixie needs some apples."[/colour] Not really truthful, except the apple part, but hopefully the griffon would accept her answer none the less.

I am one of those old time RPers since before Canterlot was called Canterlot, and I never once got censored for the more action or adventure type story threads I regularly create or participate in under the WoE banner. Personally i kept all violence to the 'Y7' level of rating myself and use it only as part of the story if it calls for it, but never the focus (as in I don't make RPs for the sake of having violence in them). As long as you go that route, you should be ok.

I cannot recall exactly but some were removed because they were sideways when it is a simple aspect to orient them correctly. I don't know if there were your images though. As Rose said above, some pics are too blurry, or dark (as in poor lighting) to be acceptable because it is difficult to see the artwork.

Well I will be replying to the Applelossian one myself soon but your character could reply at any time. As for the Bar, it is almost over but you could RP him as just doozing off for a bit as a reason there was no replies with him before now. The factory one though is a good place to go.

You are in two of my RPs, I hope you will continue in them. Just reply in the Appleoosian bu[colour=#000000]c[/colour]king one and Bar in the Storm one and you are good with me. Your pegasus may also be very interested in this, we are in the individual departments now, but can always use new people (at least the one I am in can).

[colour=#cc6699]Martini Paradise[/colour] Martini didn't drink on the job, but she lifted up her own water in response to Rainbow Dash's toast. [colour=#cc6699]"Good bye, Miss Rainbow Dash! Fly carefully on the way home, don't fall asleep in mid-air!"[/colour] Work called, though, and while Misty Morning was busy mumbling something, Martini had turned back to fill a teacup with water, her horn glowing a moment to bring the water to a boil. She opened up a small wooden box full of tea bags and flipped through them till she found one for Chai tea, lifting it out and letting it soak in the hot water, which she set down before the red guard pony. [colour=#cc6699]"I'm just glad Pocket Change isn't in trouble, then, miss"[/colour] She turned her attention back to Misty Morning, smiling gladly that she appreciated all the different offers. But then Martini blinked. [colour=#cc6699]"Rub downs?"[/colour] She stopped and thought about it for several long moments, taken aback by the question. That certainly wasn't in her usual job description! [colour=#cc6699]"Ah ... I never have before, but I could give it a try!"[/colour] she said brightly. [colour=#cc6699] "Just a moment, though ..."[/colour] Martini's eyes were growing heavy though, as she was already up hours past when the place was supposed to close. She created an intangible megaphone with her own soft green magic, calling into it,[colour=#cc6699] "Last Call, everypony! You can get a room in back, or I'll have to ask you to leave after this round, I'm sorry! Thank you so much for protecting all us flightless ponies all night long!"[/colour] [colour=#CC99CC]Flitter[/colour] Flitter blushed and squirmed a little - she loved it when Cloudchaser complimented her on her smarts, even when she wasn't feeling that way too much. [colour=#cc99cc] "Well, heh. I learned how to make stink bombs in primaries school,"[/colour] she corrected lightly. [colour=#cc99cc] "I got grounded soooo much back then ... had to sit there in my room all the time. That's actually when I started getting interested in stink bugs, and then other insects, and then I just started reading so much more!" [/colour] She thought about it a moment, then laughed softly. [colour=#cc99cc] "I guess you could say that stink bombs made me into the mare I am today!"[/colour] She pondered a moment, taking in her own weary wings and Cloudchaser's tired expression. [colour=#cc99cc]"Perhaps we *should* take a room here tonight, and get a good night's sleep before heading back to Ponyville."[/colour]

The Great and Powerful Trixie was on one of her many adventurous journeys through the great land of Equestria. In this particular case, the stunning azure coloured unicorn of magic was traveling from the lofty city of entertainment known as Las Pegasus to the mist covered Solstice Heights in order to meet up with her erstwhile companion in adventure, that eccentric nutcase of an earth pony, Doctor Whooves. Of course transversing such a long and arduous journey would require a great deal of preparation to stave off inevitable hunger and Trixie, of course, planned accordingly. She had adequate food, but through absolutely no fault of her own, Trixie lost her provisions through a chance happenstance involving a corkscrew, a firework, and a chicken. However, it was better not to dwell on the details of the past, only that now the emaciated and weary Trixie needed to find something to eat and quickly. Unfortunately, her current situation was made worse by the only nearby town being that bane of her existence, Ponyville. Nothing but terrible misfortune had befallen Trixie in her dealings with that place. Okay, the amulet bit, that was sort of her fault, but other than that it was all just terrible circumstances beyond her control! Circumstances that caused the upstanding mare to have an entirely unfair poor reputation there. How else was she to get something to eat though? Fortunately it looked like Celestia was smiling upon the magician that day after all, as Trixie stumbled upon a flyer advertising bushels of apples on sale at the nearby orchard. Sure the place was undoubtedly connected with Ponyville but at least Trixie didn't have to enter the actual town, and that was what was important. With a gallop the azure unicorn quickly made it to her destination… Sweet Apple Acres. The setup and stand were appropriately… quaint. What stood out though was the pony in the center of it all, one of those associates of that.. Twilight Sparkle. What was her name again? Applejack? Still, Trixie handled her before with aplomb, surely she could again, and it was just purchasing some apples, no big deal, right? That is until Trixie finally manage to read the foalishly written, nearly illegible text about receiving a free kiss from the mare as well. Trixie was suddenly bemused, [colour=#6699cc]"whaa.. Really?" [/colour] That certainly made this whole situation far more interesting, maybe Trixie would enjoy this after all, that is if the line she found herself at the end of ever moved!

Carrot Fields looked surprised when Dash basically confessed that this was her first convention. He was so sure by her enthusiasm, Daring Do knowledge, and bravado that she was a seasoned convention goer. [colour=#ff8c00]"First convention? ye main be a newer Darin' Dae fan 'en."[/colour] New fans typically were the most enthusiastic, showing up at conventions and events all raring to go; now as he thought about it, given she didn't even know what miniatures were, it all made sense she was a con rookie. Carrot took a happy sip of the xocolat, something he could drink all day given how he was used to much spicier fare. [colour=#ff8c00]"Weel a panel really a forum fur discussion ay a topic, usually wi' a table ay panel hosts talkin' abit whatever th' topic is, which ay coorse will hae somethin' tae dae wi' Darin' Dae. Some ay them ay coorse hae celebrities, those will be th' most popular, but it doesnae mean they'll be th' best. It aw depends oan whit yer specific interests ur."[/colour] The ruddy stallion thought for a second, he didn't actually know the con schedule, [colour=#ff8c00]"one second, I'll be reit back!"[/colour] It only took a few scant moments for Carrot to find a schedule, they were everywhere, even in the food court. He happily trotted back with a wide grin as he held the pamphlet in his teeth before placing it on the table. [colour=#ff8c00]"Let's see… Weel one is gonnae oan reit noo wi' th Darin' Dae actress Silver Flash, but its awreddy foo nae doobt, hmmmm"[/colour] Carrot was perplexed for a moment, then he spotted a panel on figure painting and purchasing. [colour=#ff8c00]That woods wark! She'll be interested in 'at given aw th' miniatures she booght; thes date is workin' it weel! Wait.... Carrot did ye jist caa thes a date? dornt be a dumbtail! 'at isnae whit thes is… she is pure bonnie though![/colour] Carrot just smiled and blushed fiercely, [colour=#ff8c00]"We'll ummm… thaur is a miniature paintin' panel we can gang tae, that's be neat! Weel after Ah hud anither xocolat 'at is. Ah coods drink mair ay these than anypony, most ponies cannae handle thes amount of hot pepper!"[/colour]

Would it be ok to be the one working at the bar?

I can put in Martini Paradise, although being from the working class, she is much more likely to be mixing the drinks then being a guest.

[colour=#CC6699]Martini Paradise[/colour] Martini just smiled calmly at Rainbow Dash as the rainbow maned pegasus finished her frustrated rant. [colour=#cc6699]"Well hon, for what it is worth, I don't think you have a fan filly crush on Soarin'. My foal daughter, she has that kind of crush; you though, it's different; it came off more of just a genuine interest in a pony who likely shares many of the same interests as you do."[/colour] The barmare poured out a glass of ice water, [colour=#cc6699]"I could be wrong of course and you have no interest at all, but I am sure if there is any pony out there you like, it for more reasons than some silly crush."[/colour] Martini slid the freshly poured glass of icy water in front of Dash, [colour=#cc6699]"I won't tease you anymore about it hon, but be sure to be careful when you fly home alright? Here, drink this before you go, it will help." [/colour] Martini respected Dash's reasons, even if she felt it was a little risky sleeping outside on such a cool, damp night; besides she could see it in the pegasus' eyes there was no way to change her mind. Of course speaking of Wonderbolts, Martini was stunned when Misty Morning whispered flattering words her way. The compliment caused Martini to blush, something that was no easy feat given the nature of her job; she smiled brightly in response, [colour=#cc6699]"one more lemon water coming right up!" [/colour] Martini poured out another tall glass of the icy water and delicately placed the last of the lemon slices into the water before sliding it to the waiting hooves of the light blue maned mare, [colour=#cc6699]"here you go hon, and to answer your other question we have several open rooms. Best part is they are all free, courtesy of the owner for all you pegasai have done tonight." [/colour] The pink unicorn bar mare gave a flirtatious wink, [colour=#cc6699] "myself, I am here all night, someone has to mind the inn with the guests, so I am sure I can find some time to chat one-on-one after last call."[/colour] Before she could say anything else, Martini's attention was suddenly drawn by the newcomer. Of course the bar wasn't closed yet, but it had to be only a couple hours before Celestia's dawn, so it was unusual to have someone enter so late, especially on a night such as this. A customer was a customer though and this pegasus mare was R.E.A. who were always welcome no matter what the circumstances. Before Martini could give her a greeting though, that same ruddy mane announced she was there for Pocket Change. [colour=#cc6699]"Excuse me miss, is there a problem here at all?"[/colour] Martini was perplexed, Pocket Change didn't look like he was R.E.A and claimed he was an archeologist. As a civilian, he only have to go with the R.E.A. if he broke some royal law, or this was his mate. [colour=#DDA0DD]Flitter[/colour] Flitter just laughed quite loudly at her mare's comments about the stink cloud, louder than she should have thanks in no small part to the quantity of hard cider she drunk. [colour=#dda0dd]"Well… The experiment overall was sort of important, but the truth was I was just real tired and mixed some basic chemicals at a quantity I shouldn't of, so really it was a foal like mistake, and nothing cool came of it, unless you wanted to make stink bombs. You wouldn't believe how much chemistry I was required to know just for the biology degree Cloudy."[/colour] At least her rousing speech but Cloudchaser's spirits back up! Flitter started to walk back out, her steps though were clumsier than usual. [colour=#dda0dd]"Whoa.. I think I'll just lean on you sweetie."[/colour] It took more time having to depend on Cloudchaser to make it back to the bar, but it was well worth it. Flitter spread her forehooves over the bar counter and laid her chin flat on upon it, [colour=#dda0dd]"I'll take one of those ice waters… Umm, actually, make it two. It was a heck of a storm last night, didn't do nearly well as the natural weather ponies here."[/colour] Flitter looked back at Cloudchaser and gave a huge encouraging smile. Flitter's smile quickly changed though to one of worry, as it suddenly dawned on her that she didn't know if they had to be home before daytime or not, it was all dependent on Cloudchaser's work schedule. [colour=#dda0dd] "Cloudy… Do you have to be home for weather work tomorrow?"[/colour] If she did, could Flitter fly back tonight? Surrrrrrrre she could! Well.. maybe.

Flitter felt increasingly at unease. The fact that Princess Luna herself was heading this project was enough to haunt the lavender pegasus' stomach with huge butterflies, but then hearing Cloudchaser confirm, for the most part, Dash's dire description of the situation momentarily made that pit feeling even worse. Still, Cloudy was probably right, Dash had to be embellishing the situation some, odd that she would bring up Daring Do as an example of this. [colour=#cc99cc]"Daring Do? You mean that pegasus character from those adventure books for little foals? I didn't know you used to read those hon."[/colour] Such a cute nostalgic notion at least helped make Flitter feel a little better about everything. That was until their team leader spoke. As Flitter listened to the grizzled veteran of the R.E.A. speak, that ill feeling returned. It was bad enough he was such a formal fussbudget, talking as if this was some sort of military drill, but what really got to the young pegasus mare was that in his mind, she and the rest of the team weren't even good enough to do their jobs! Flitter didn't like that kind of pressure at all… She was alright when it came to pressure when she was the only one that would suffer if she faltered, such as in exams or writing a thesis, but this… This was about having others depend on her and that kind of expectation just made her feel ill with nervousness. She didn't feel inspired, she felt overwhelmed. That terrible demoralizing feeling only subsided when Dash jumped up and gave her rousing, inspirational oratory. It wasn't the most eloquent or poignant of speeches, but it was inspirational! Well, at least to Flitter… Enough that she stomped her fore hooves in rousing cheer in response, partly to make herself feel better, [colour=#cc99cc]"whoooooooooo! I'm with you Dash!! We can do this!!!!" [/colour] Flitter, in her moment of spontaneous cheer, even turned to Cloudchaser and gave the spiky maned pegasus a big ol' kiss on the lips and a strong hug, [colour=#cc99cc]"you excited hon? I'm excited!" [/colour] She was ready for this! At least that is what she was going to keep telling herself to keep that extreme nervousness she felt at bay as she trotted with faux confidence towards the Vaporization section.

[colour=#800080]Cheerilee[/colour] Cheerilee gave a warm, reassuring smile to Purple Haze and she ruffled the green coated earth filly's mane, [colour=#800080]"I am perfectly fine, honest! It was just a little harmless light, nothing I haven't dealt with before during class."[/colour] It was flattering her students cared so much about her outside the school environment; in Cheerilee's mind it only confirmed once again that she really was doing for a living was not only her destiny, but her greatest joy. Still there was one problem, Cheerilee's present to Applebloom. The gift itself was nice, a professional crafted compass with beautifully etched letters for the directions, and most importantly, built sturdy for use by outdoors adventurer ponies, or in this case, a trio of rambunctious foals. Of course the problem was that Abby just got a compass, so now it just felt silly, and a little embarrassing, to give the farmer filly the same kind of present. All of that was moot though if Cheerilee couldn't find the darn thing! [colour=#800080]"Purple Haze, Guiding Light, would you two be dears and help ol' Cheerilee in finding her present for the birthday filly?[/colour]" Cheerilee held her forehooves about two hooves apart, [colour=#800080]"it is a box about this wide, wrapped, with a red bow." [/colour] Hopefully it can be found among the mess, at least before it got crushed, smashed, or otherwise wrecked in the general anarchy which described this party thus far. [colour=#FF8C00]Carrot Fields[/colour] Carrot Fields could only watch wide eyed in apparent shock as Dash ripped the bag of brown sugar open, creating a large cloud of auburn dust that rapidly expanded in every direction. Fortunately for Dash, not a grain fell on her as her messy white unicorn friend jumped in front and took the brunt of the sweet smelling cloud instead. [colour=#ff8c00]"Hoa, 'at was close Dash! almost ruined yer fancy frock! Stoatin' save that, miss, ummm… Ah am sorry Ah forgot yer nam! But ye gotta[/colour][colour=#ff8c00] appreciate a gal wot dinnae mind gettin' dirty!"[/colour] Carrot took the opened bag and dumped what was left of it's contents into the mixing bowl. He wasn't sure if the mix even called for brown sugar, but he saw his sister use it all the time. Besides, how could it be anything but helpful given that Pinkie willing to toss in whole eggs and wanted to add in coffee of all things! If he was really lucky, maybe Pinkie would think the brown sugar was the coffee, both the same colour right? She seemed so out on left field that perhaps that was enough similarity to trick her and keep the foals from caffeine induced hyperactivity. It wasn't much of a plan, but it was all the gray stallion had. Carrot just smiled broadly, trying to look innocent, [colour=#ff8c00]"that'll dae it! whit noo? mixin' it aw?"[/colour]
