Basically it works like this, we take a look at a character and ask “what do we know about him/her” and then we take that one tribit of info and crank it up to eleven. Sometimes for comedic effect, sometimes because we just don’t have much else to work with.
@SentryBronyPlatinum
I don’t ship them either but your formatted your question very strangely,almost as if you have a malicious intent to start a pointless dialogue about such an asinine subject.
@Scrounge
No, in my opinion that is totally not weird. There are a lot of perfectly sensible ways in which one character can be shipped with multiple other characters, for example there’s harem scenario’s, three-way-relationships, and expanding on the last one: omniships.
I’d recommend a fic that, imo, nicely explores the stuff behind a three-way relationship, but it’s kinda above the image rating so I’ll just spoiler it: “Room For One More” by bats
That is not including things like selfcest, as well as my general motto that more shipping is always a good thing. Except that thing that @Poptard posted.
@Scrounge
Ships that will objectively inspire incredibly amounts of revulsion and despair in even the most open-minded shippers if someone ships them unironically.
@Scrounge
Feel free. Apart from the NOTP ships, all ships are equal, though some are more equal than others. Most people focus on the stuff they see hinted in canon, so be warned obscure or cracky ships like Cocowhinny probably will go under the radar. Still, maybe you might get lucky if you can write a convincing and appealing fic; I remember when VinylxOctavia was still just an odd ship that a new story on EQD proposed and look where it is now.
@Poptard
If all ships are equally valid, does that mean I can try to make Cocowhinny a thing?
I honestly think they’re compatible: Coco is capable, demure, kind, and patient. Ms Harshwhinny is the “tough but fair” type who demands the best of everyone, and gives her praise sparingly, but has plenty of integrity and a soft side that sometimes shows through despite her best efforts. It’s a pretty standard dynamic that I think could have some interesting nuances.
@Scrounge
Maybe weird, but plenty of others share the sentiment. You can book passage on more than one ship. Since none are truly more valid than the other and liking mutually exclusive ships has no real effect on the other, nobody cares that your like this long to kiss this other pony or that other pony.
@barbeque
Is it weird that I can find more than one ship for a character appealing? For example, I think Rarijack is fun for the teasing and quarreling, but I also think that after MMC, and even more so after the Season 4 finale, Rarity may be looking at Twilight a bit differently. (Now I ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold digger… Okay, maybe I am.)
