Ships and ‘Intimacies’ I Hate · 6:39pm Sep 5th, 2016
Okay, I know that I’ve been one to dissuade haters on this site. But I need to get it out of my system. And know this is my opinion. I respect yours and you are free to have yours. But no snide or dissenting comments this time. I’m only expressing myself. So garbage and hateful remarks will be deleted; take this as fair warning.
Let’s get on with it.
My # 1 hated ship is the one that is absolute BS, but permeates fanfict and fan art: Rarity x Spike.
What? is Rarity a pedophile? Spike is a baby of a species that is all but immortal. Therefore, sexual maturity would take centuries. Rarity has flirted with Spike to get him to do something for her. But it is obvious that she sees him as a funny little fellow with no more attraction to him than perhaps a little brother. Aside from that, the writers stated that is ain’t goin’a happen.
Next is Twilight x Flash Sentry. Yes there’s some attraction shown in the EG movies. But no real hints aside from one quick glance from Flash as he got back on the train to the Crystal empire. Let’s face it, Twilight has better things to do than hang out with the hired help.
This is followed up by one that makes no bloody sense: Twilight x Discord. What are you thinking? This has about as much chance of happening as Muffins (Derpy) becoming a princess.
In a related note, all of those stories/artworks of Twilight x Shining Armor. That’s just sick. In fact, Shining with any other pony other than Cadence is asinine. Why would he screw up such a good thing.
And come on, Twilight hangs out with females all the time. Infer what you will from that. In fact the only pony that has shown any romantic attraction to any male pony is Rarity.
Then there’s Discord x Celestia. WTF? That’s as wrong as Twilight x Discord.
Okay, those are my top ones. Sorry if I have stepped on someone’s head cannon. But as I said, this is my opinion.
Thanks for letting me rant.
Nah, I'm good with your dislike of all of these ships. Spike and Rarity is the one of them I'd accept the most, though only in the fics where he is aged up a bit more. Quite a few have him hit puberty and suddenly be two or three feet taller than a pony, so i'm more okay with that.
Celestia and Discord, I dunno, one is harmony and peace, the other is chaos, it's that whole yin/yang thing. At least, that's what I always thought of it. I don't condemn stories who had them interested in eachother in the past, like, centuries ago. But, I do dislike stories that work on getting them together now. Though there is one great story of Flutters taking on close to a mother role for Discord and the Celestia x Discord ship happening, but that story was mainly good for the interactions between Flutters and Discord. To me, at least.
There are many ships I dislike and do not understand, Shining Armor x Chrysalis, for example. But we all have ones that make us really twitchy.
It's perfectly acceptable to dislike ships that other people likes. We all have our own tastes and perspectives of the world after all.
Although it is worth mentioning that Discord and Celestia seems plausible when you acknowledge either that a lot can change over the years, or/and that passion can be fueled be hate, rage and even fear. All of them are well used kinks that may or may not describe the relationship between Discord and Celestia.
Sometimes we don't like things because we don't understand them and sometimes we do understand them and yet we decide to dislike for one or other reason.

See, I hate Rainbow Dash x Fluttershy. In any situation. Because there's no indication from the show that they knew one another before Rainbow stood up for her or ever spoke again. If they were lifelong friends to the point of being sisters, Rainbow wouldn't have had to have been told that they couldn't prank Fluttershy.
I also hate MacShy. C'mon, that's Cheerilee's farmcolt.
To reduce the level of hate going on, I absolutely adore DashPie. It's slyly canon~
They share a bed and iirc a blanket in Rainbow Rocks.
I'm okay with RariSpike, but Spikibelle is better.

There one Fic, where Cadence was Chrysalis all along and The Chrysalis you see was her Second in Command take her place.
So it make sense in that Alternate universe way.
But I am kind of person that say lot of ships can make possible with good enough writing, and I don't get hang with shineing all that much... I mean they are AU where Shining and Cadence never hook up and fell love with other ponies
