My Thoughts on the TimberTwi Ship as Presented in Legend of Everfree. · 2:17am Oct 3rd, 2016
Okay, so I think I've got a pretty good comparison for what I feel about the ship.
Timber Spruce: He's like peanut butter, a food that goes with a lot of other foods. One that tastes pretty good on many foodstuffs... maybe don't think too hard about my similes.
Human World Twilight Sparkle: She's like a high quality laptop computer. Something that's really nice & fun, but it's probably not the best idea put food too near it. At least you shouldn't if you're the company pushing out the products (Fan Fics writers feel free to do whatever ahoy! I don't really want to stop you fan shippers or fans of the ship or anything like that).
This is the first time in the Equestria Girls movies that I've felt like the unneeded romantic subplot actually took away from the quality of the movie, I think that it could've been much better if the romance was removed even if it was replaced with literally nothing.
All in all, I think that both Twilight Sparkle the human & Timber Spruce are passable to great characters (I'm not thinking too hard about where exactly they fall in that range), but I feel like their relationship as presented in the movie didn't have the characters romantically mix together well. I don't think they had good chemistry.
(Plus Camp Counselors are supposed to be adults, but... let's not get into that...)
So now its. Human Twilight Sparkle x Timber Spruce. Princess Twilight Sparkle x Flash Sentry.
Also, who is the better for Twilight shipping? Flash or Timber?

As applied to official works, I think that Flash Sentry X Princess Twilight Sparkle had a slightly better overall execution than Timber Spruce X Human world Twilight Sparkle.
However, I don't currently know my opinions on those two ships as presented in fan works or them with the Twilights switched around (though I guess Princess Twilight X Timber Spruce would be pretty weird...).
(As an interesting aside, I once saw fan art for Fluttershy X Timber Spruce & it made me think, "If they need to put in a romance subplot in the movie, it sure would make more sense for it to be Fluttershy's given this particular movie's theme.")
