FlameLoneWolf Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Oh - Thank you! (why the heck is it called 'shipping'?) In that case - I think it is fine. My favorite quote on love comes from Madarao from Kekkaishi:Love and Tolerate. Tolerance. It may not be what you live or what YOU believe in but you should not impose your beliefs on others.I feel I need to tell a story.... I was in the U.S. Air Force for over 10 years and during that time I served under a female captain who was very openly living an alternate lifestyle. She lived with another female captain and they had been seen being intimate in public together. All of us serving under her knew it and could care less.She was the best officer I ever had the privilege to work under. I was a crew chief on the F-15E Strike Eagle and if our crews were instructed to stay and work long hours she would refuse to go home and would come out to wherever we were - in any weather and help in any small way she could.We would have followed that woman over a cliff into lava if she wanted us to. She was promoted and only then did she leave us and it was a very fond farewell. I do not live an alternate lifestyle but she showed all of us a fine example of what it means to do so and not let it impact your professional life in a negative manner. If anything - she was very happy.Whether it's 2 guys is of no concern to me. I think we tend to feel female pairings are natural due to the fact - well - imo - women are beautiful creations of nature! - but if a guy feels another guy is that way - more power to them. It's not how I feel but why should I impose my beliefs on another person?So ship? away bronies!!! Your story is so cool! Bronies can be ANYTHING!!!

FlameLoneWolf Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I could be more pleased with shipping... I ordered some pins and was expecting them to arrive before I left for Winter Break, but now I'm at home and they got shipped to college, so I don't have them... Oh, wait, THAT kind of shipping.This show really makes me appreciate platonic friendships. I'd rather think of Applejack and Rainbow Dash as competitive best friends than as lesbian lovers, no offense to the LGBT community... But Spike/Rarity is okay, since the show itself has made that a really cute couple (though it'll probably be like any other cartoon romance - they will never actually end up together).And I did the impossible in my fanfic - Lyra and Bon-Bon as heterosexual roommates. ...can I have a link to your fanfic?

FlameLoneWolf Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm pleasantly amused when some of my more ship-happy friends provide me with ships, but I don't go seeking them. I'm a fan of FlutterMac and PinkieShy for some reason, the latter one only being because of that Sight for Sore Eyes comic. Sooooo good.I read that comic as well, it was so beautiful!

DosEquus Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well, for me it all depends on the pairing and how it's done. Usually though, I just lurve to read fics that have subtle attraction between characters, giving off really enjoyable, pleasant moments.I find that I tend to like TwiDash, TwiLuna, VynOcty, and RariTom*.*Lolno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagination Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 For me it depends on the content. If the writer can make it work and there's a good story behind it, sure. I'll read it and I'll love it.Not a huge fan of any particular paring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltFlare Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 OHMAHGAWSH. I was flipping through here and saw you guys mention a pinkieshy comic, so I read it.I literally went "d'Awww!"Loud enough my mom was all "WTF."So thank you for that, one of the most adorable shipping comics I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChancellorPuddinghead Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I still want to see Luna and Big Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosEquus Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well it's kind of subtle, but you can find a little LunaMac in the story Frigid Winds and Burning Hearts by Grey Prophet. Plus, it's a pretty interesting story overall, IMO.FanFiction link: http://m.fanfiction.net/s/7037421/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arlGrey Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I get a bit irritated when people start spouting their favorite pairings everywhere they aren't related. Honestly, it's a kid's show. If it was for teens and above, they might have more concrete character personalities and plots, but beyond that, I see no solid material for pairings.Doesn't mean I don't think it's adorable though. /)^3^(\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is the awesome thing with the fanfics! I mean, writers manage to create good stories with very 'simple' material.Moreover, the 'lack' of character personalities and plots can be a good thing for the authors to develop backgrounds characters (as long as they stay 'realistic', of course )But that's my point of view, and even if I love shipping fanfics, I totally understand that people don't, so...
