Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie · 7:36pm Oct 17th, 2023
The most common Sunset Shimmer ship of all, and one of the most popular ships in fimfiction, is Sunset Shimmer/Twilight Sparkle (Sci-Twi) which is completely understandable. The two are very similar and have a close canon relationship, and in fimfiction their ship has been part of some of the best fanfictions I personally have ever read. The only problem this ship ever really encountered was the canon relationship between Sci-Twi and Timber. There is of course no problem continuing to ship Sunset and Sci-Twi together in fimfiction stories, highly encourage really cause again great stories, I feel like there has been another, more canon compliant, ship overlooked, Sunset Shimmer/Pinkie Pie.
Actually looking through the various Equestria Girls media and you'd notice that the two are very close, one of the closest relationships Sunset has in their friendgroup, and there are various moments that could be used for shipping. There was the painting short where Sunset was Pinkie's inspiration for her painting, the snow day short where Sunset threw herself in the way of a snowball to protect the treat Pinkie Pie had made as a gift for Rarity (platonic winter tradition gift), and the biggest shipping fuel of all for the two, the music festival.
While not the strongest Equestria Girls special, it certainly put Sunset and Pinkie's relationship at the center of the story, with the two ending up bringing out the best in each other and in Pinkie Pie's case, going a little crazy at the thought of Sunset not wanting to be around her.
The main point I want to make is that while Sunset/Sci-Twi is a great ship its not the only one that could be used with Sunset and there plenty of possibilities out there, and to keep an open mind when planning your own fimfiction story.
Thanks for reading, bye!
Sure wasn't expecting this but was worth the read being a sciset fan myself.
