Wow indeed… :P first off, towards the desciption, Hasbro never forced anything. Second, no one has a marefriend or is officially shipped, with the exception of Cadence and Shining.
shippers are gonna ship. I saw this coming the moment i saw Quibble. As a soarindash shipper myself, this pic gave me a chuckle, but i know full well drama follows everyone of these pics. (Artist description doesn’t help much either)
It’s kind of funny in a way. Just in terms of time spent interacting with these three, I’d be willing to bet Soarin’s actually the one she’s talked to the least.
Such is the nature of shipping though.
Actually, you know what I’d like to see? These three all sitting together, getting along. Quibble strikes me as the type who would have all sorts of technical questions for a wonderbolt (“…so in issue 37 of the Power Ponies, Zapp talks about doing a barrel role to elude the villain, when the visual actually depicts an aileron roll instead, and I was wondering…”), Zephyr I could see either sharing some of his childhood memories of Rainbow Dash with Soarin (since it’s suggested they have known each other for a while) or maybe asking who does the team’s manes, and Soarin just seems like a nice guy, so he’d probably enjoy talking to these two. Plus I bet he’d bring pie or something.
Also I just don’t see Soarin’ ever beating up another pony, no matter how jealous he got. It doesn’t really fit what we’ve seen of his personality in the show.
I ship Soarin’Dash but honestly QuibbleDash doesn’t bother me at all, and I thought they were rather cute together in the new episode. I can’t take ZephyrDash seriously because it’s clearly meant as a joke, but I don’t hate on people who legit like the ship. Why can’t people just enjoy cute ponies being cute together without throwing a tantrum?
