Ok, I gotta throw in my 2 bits worth here about the big bruise on Celestia’s right shoulder. With normal non magical equines of all species the stallion likes to bite the mare’s withers during the mating act. Granted not all stallions will bite so hard as to leave a bruise that big but we’re talking about a character that is portrayed as being a klutz and it’s not too far a reach to surmise that Troubleshoes might go a bit too far due to his clumsiness or even that Celestia “likes” it that rough. And let’s reach juuuuust a little farther, go ahead, you can do it, that there’s a room in Canterlot Castle that Twilight never found and Luna has tried to forget. A room with a plaque over the door that reads “Sticks and Stones May Break Your Bones but Whips and Chains will Excite You”. But this is all pure speculation, and the royal pr staff still refuse to comment. They just blush and run away.

Lines like “Don’t ask the question you don’t want answers to” or “I see what kind of friendship this is” isn’t ambiguous, it barely even passes as coy, its very hard to write ambiguity with the questionable character’s interaction.  
An easier way to pull off ambiguity is for say Cadence to come to a realization after Celestia is gone.

I never understood the whole Villain X Hero ship, but I guess that Tia X Discord could count, so take what I say with a grain of hay. Also, Foe said the she tried to make it ambiguous, but admitted that she failed at that part.

Fair point, could be worse though, like trying to use foe-yay as a premise.

“No ship sailing” yet heavily implied sexual encounters… Strange definition of shipping.

Man, I feel like folks are missing the point. They tried, it didn’t work out. No ship sailing from this. It was supposed to be about how she doesn’t need to be in a romantic relationship to be happy, that she’s fine with being single until the absolute right person, pony or otherwise, comes along. You can go on a date and have nothing significant come of it.
 
 
This is something I was talking about in the previous drawing and something I would agree here.

While I agree the attempts at shipping are eye-roll worthy, I like Silfoe’s art and really they can do as they please, Silfoe isn’t obligated to anyone by any means.

@SilFoe  
I just realized something. One reason your attempt to be ambiguous failed has to do with this fandom’s desire to ship. All we needed was Celestia to say that she had a good time, but won’t go for another date with him for us to see that they’re a couple. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the main couple in your Royal Sketchbook series’ Twi and Luna. There’s no romantic chemistry in the show, and the semi-canon of the EQG movies imply Twi to be straight, but you see a bond between Twi and Luna that causes you to ship them. Think about that.

Actually in the second and third panels we can see the front edge of her wing right by the joint and there is a large bruise there that wouldn’t have been visible to Cadence until then either. I think what Cadence was inferring was that Troubleshoes used her wing joints has handles to pull her back into his thrusts. First panel she thought they had fought, third panel she noticed the wing joint bruise and thought they fucked.

And? That’s exactly the point: it doesn’t stop you from loving them.  
When people marry they don’t think about that fact that one day one of them will have to bury the other.  
The fact that Celestia would know she would be the one to do so doesn’t mean she can’t love, come on…

You’re focusing way too much on the death aspect and not enough of being happy living together.
 
That’s a pretty pessimistic worldview ya got.
