Rainbows and Butterflies

Fluttershy sat in the third row of the bleachers that looked out onto the bright green and well-kept soccer field of Canterlot High. Her legs were crossed and her hands placed firmly in her lap, not wanting to accidentally nudge or bump into any of the students that sat around her. Her eyes quickly moved to the right as she intently watched the Wondercolts' captain, Rainbow Dash, speeding by with the ball in her possession. With a flash of black and white, the ball went flying through the air and straight into the goal of the opposing team, the Griffons, barely giving their goalie a chance to react. Fluttershy clapped her hands together and quietly cheered, the crowd roaring over her small squeals. Rainbow Dash looked confidently into the crowd and waved but when she caught eyes with Fluttershy, her confidence faded into a nervous, almost frightened look. Fluttershy smiled and gave her friend a thumbs up before she turned away, putting her head back into the game. This was the first goal that the Wondercolts had made the entire game which was now almost over, while the Griffons had already scored twice. Fluttershy wasn't very interested in anything relating to sports but knew that winning this game meant more than anything to Rainbow Dash because the Griffons' captain was her rival, Lightning Dust, a former student of Canterlot High.

"If they can just score one more point they'll have a tie and the game will be extended," she thought to herself, nervously rubbing her hands together and watching as the ball was kicked back and forth across the field, never getting too close to either of the goals. Finally, Rainbow received the ball from one of her teammates and rushed towards the Griffon's goal with less than a minute of the game remaining but was quickly blocked. She smiled, knowing just what to do and nodded at one of her teammates before kicking the ball to her which was then passed to another teammate standing closer to the goal. She was quickly surrounded by the opposing team and kicked the ball high into the air. Rainbow Dash rushed forward and the ball landed directly at her feet and she made her way towards the goal once again. The Griffons tried to stop her but she was too fast. She could feel it, she knew she could make the tie. She raised her leg high into the air for a kick but fell backwards, slipping on a rather wet part of the field. The ball slowly rolled forward and came to a stop as the Griffons rushed out onto the field, celebrating their victory.

"Oh no," Fluttershy whispered, quickly looking away and frowning. "I have to go talk to her." She stood up with a look of determination on her face and rather unsuccessfully attempted to push her way through the uproar of the crowd to reach her friend. She let out a sigh of relief as her foot reached the grassy field and there were no more students in front of her. She turned to the right and headed to where Rainbow now sat on a bench looking sulkily at the ground, her team surrounding her and attempting to give comfort.

"Hey Fluttershy," said one of the teammates as she approached and motioned for the others to step away to give the two some privacy.

"I screwed up, Fluttershy..." she said looking up as her kind friend sat down next to her and placed an arm over her shoulders. "I let them all down," she continued, a combination of disgust and disappointment filling her voice.

"It wasn't your fault that the field was wet," Fluttershy said comfortingly and smiled innocently at her friend.

"No, I shoulda been paying more attention...I guess I was just sure I was gonna make it. I got full of myself alright!" she quietly yelled, her fiery pink eyes fading as they filled with tears.

"Oh Rainbow," Fluttershy mumbled, wrapping her arms tightly around the defeated captain.

Dash hugged back for a moment but soon pushed away and with a sniffle said, "Let's just not talk about this right now okay? I wanna get out of here."

"Yes, that would be nice," Fluttershy said. "Let's go do something to cheer you up."

"I wanna do something...relaxing, nothing crazy. I just want to escape I guess," Rainbow said, wiping away any evidence that was left of her tears.

"We could go to the park?" Fluttershy suggested. "I always go there to get away. It's quiet, peaceful, relaxing, and there are always cute little critters to watch."

"Alright..." Rainbow Dash agreed to Fluttershy's surprise, "and let's get out of her before Lightning Dust comes to shove it in my face." Before standing up, she looked down at the grungy, mud coated jersey and shorts on her body. "I should probably change out of these first huh? Come on." She motioned for Fluttershy to follow and headed to the girls locker room in the high school.

"I-I'll wait out here," Fluttershy mumbled, stopping in front of the locker room door.

"Oh come on Fluttershy! We've known each other for years and besides, it's a locker room. Girls get undressed in front of each other all the time in there," Dash asserted, motioning for Fluttershy to enter.

"Okay..." Fluttershy said, beginning to blush as she cautiously walked into the locker room.

"So, I was..." Rainbow began to say but stopped as she noticed Fluttershy nervously glancing back and forth at her. "Ugh, Fluttershy! It's alright, you don't need to be acting all freaked out," she scolded as she slipped her jersey over her head. Fluttershy's blush quickly returned as she attempted not to stare at Dash taking her shorts off. Even though she tried her best, Fluttershy couldn't resist looking up and down Rainbow Dash's perfectly toned body.

"I-uh need to... take a quick shower to get some of this dirt off," Dash stumbled to let out as she realized that her friend was staring.

"Oh...s-sorry," Fluttershy whispered and quickly glanced away, blushing brightly. She nervously crossed her legs, let her hair fall in front of her face, and put her hands behind her back, grasping them tightly together.

"It's alright. Just try not to stare. You're making me nervous now," Rainbow said, pulling down the straps of her sports bra and pushing it up over her head. She then sat down to slide off her panties before standing back up. Fluttershy slowly turned her head and saw her cyan body glowing in the warm sunlight pouring in from the small window behind her.

"Oh my," she mumbled quietly.

"Stop bein so weird!" Dash chuckled and rolled her eyes, blushing slightly. She turned and headed for the showers, giving Fluttershy a glimpse of her backside.

"Anyways, I was thinking that before we head to the park, we should stop at that ice cream place. You know the one we used to always go to back when we were kids? It's right next to the park," Rainbow said as the two walked down a quiet sidewalk in the shade of the oak trees which hung over it.

"Ice cream huh?" Fluttershy giggled. "That'll be fun. I'm buying."

"You don't have to do that," Rainbow said, smiling.

"Oh, but I want to," Fluttershy responded, staring cutely at her friend.

Rainbow Dash sighed, "Alright, you win."

"This is going to be so nice," Fluttershy said, attempting to pass the time.

"Yeah, I haven't done anything remotely relaxing all year. I've just been so busy with all of these sports. This'll be good," her friend responded. "I can't even remember the last time we actually did something together. I kinda miss it."

"Me too--" Fluttershy began but was interrupted by a 'Whoa!' from Rainbow Dash.

"We're already almost there? It seemed like it took forever back when we were kids...hm," she mumbled to herself before grabbing onto Fluttershy's hand. "Come on, let’s go!"

Rainbow pulled her friend along with her as she raced across the street and down to the entrance of the ice cream shop. "Just like old times," she sighed with satisfaction, opening the door and allowing Fluttershy to enter.

"Hey, I remember you two," said an older man standing behind the shining white counter. "You used to come in here all the time." The two nodded their heads and smiled, thinking about the past. "Well, it's good to see ya again. A rainbow sherbet right?" he asked as Dash approached the counter.

"Yeah! How do you still remember that?" she asked.

He pointed at her hair and smiled. "You like it because it matches your hair. The same for you correct, young lady?" he asked turning to Fluttershy as he scooped out the sherbet and placed it atop a waffle cone.

"Mhm..." she mumbled.

"Oh yeah, you're the shy one," he said comfortingly. Fluttershy nodded her head. "Well that'll be two bits."

"Thank you," Fluttershy whimpered quietly, handing him the bits and placing another in his tip jar.

"You know--" he said as the two turned to leave. "--it's really nice to see that you're both still friends, not many friendships last throughout your school years but it looks like yours has and I really hope it lasts long after that.

"Yeah, we've had a few problems but we've pretty much always stuck together. Thanks again," Rainbow said as she pushed the door open with her back and waved before walking outside.

She smiled, watching Fluttershy lick gently at her ice cream as they walked to the park. "Let's sit here," Fluttershy said, trudging through the grass towards an old worn out wooden bench which was located by a small stream running through the park. "You haven't even touched your sherbet yet," she said with a small laugh as Dash sat down beside her, the melting ice cream dripping down onto her hand.

"Whoops!" she responded with a chuckle and began to blush, realizing that she had been staring at Fluttershy the whole time since they had left the ice cream shop. She licked the colorful melted sherbet from her hand and quickly ate the rest of it, attempting to catch up with Fluttershy who was already eating her cone.

` Fluttershy smiled as Rainbow ate the last of her cone and said, "See, I told you this would be nice."

"Yeah, it is nice. It's really gotten my mind off what happened earlier," Dash sighed with delight and closed her eyes, listening to the peaceful trickle of the stream as a few spots of sun which pierced through the trees warmed her face.

"Awww," Fluttershy murmured, causing Rainbow to open her eyes and tilt her head forward. "I told you there would be cute little animals here," Fluttershy said, pointing to a small chipmunk at her feet that was nibbling on a berry.

"Cute," Rainbow Dash stated as she watched Fluttershy observe the creature, a large smile on her face.

"Bye, bye little guy," Fluttershy said as the chipmunk scampered into the brush in search of more berries. She turned her head and was greeted by her friends blushing face.

"Fluttershy...I-um, I'm gonna be kinda cheesy for a sec but just bear with me," she stuttered. "I-I just wanted to say thank you for hanging out today. It uh...really got my mind off the game and...made the day pretty good."

"Oh, you are so welcome, Rainbow Dash. I'm always here to help...even if I can't really do much," Fluttershy chimed in and smiled brightly.

"I'm uh...not done yet," Rainbow responded, scratching her head. Fluttershy nodded silently, waiting for her to continue. "You're right, you've always been there for me when I needed help or was feeling down or anything like that and have always just well, made me happy....you're a really awesome friend, Fluttershy. You've been by my side since we were kids and I seriously don't know what I'd do without you."

Fluttershy smiled and blushed. "Thank you so much. You know, you've always been there for me too, defending me from bullies when I was little, doing all the brave stuff for me that I couldn't, and most importantly just always being a great friend," she continued, fiddling with her friends wristband.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Fluttershy heard and looked up to respond but stopped as her eyes caught Rainbow Dash's.

"I-I was...fixing..." she whimpered. Dash with her cheeks glowing a light pink, wrapped her hand tightly around Fluttershy's and leaned forward, kissing her lightly on the lips. Fluttershy who's cheeks glowed an even darker hue of pink, nervously kissed back. She smiled, her stomach tingling with a combination of nervous energy and pleasure, Rainbow's soft lips feeling amazing against her own. Grinning, Dash wrapped her arms around her friend and pushed their foreheads together.

"I...I love you," she struggled to let out.

"I love you too," Fluttershy whispered. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Rainbow leaned back and placed her hand upon Fluttershy's cheek, staring deeply into her eyes. "I've always loved you but I guess I didn't realize it was like this until today.

"I've been wanting to tell you for so long...but I was so scared that you'd say no," Fluttershy mumbled, leaning her head against Dash's hand.

"Why would I say no to you?" Rainbow asked lovingly.

"I wasn't even sure if you were interested in other girls and besides, you're athletic and brave and strong...and I'm none of those things. I thought you wanted to be with someone more like you," she responded, placing her hand over top of Rainbow's.

"None of that stuff matters to me. What matters is that you are sweet, caring, loving and just an all-around amazing girl who's always been a part of my life," Rainbow Dash said before pulling Fluttershy closer for another kiss. As their bodies pressed against one another, Rainbow felt the quick and steady beating of Fluttershy's heart and smiled. "Awesomest day ever..." she whispered, pushing her fingers through Fluttershy's soft hair.

"I agree," Fluttershy whispered back, rubbing her cheek against Rainbow's. "Thank you so much...for everything."

"No, thank you," Rainbow said with a smile, rubbing her hand up and down Fluttershy's arm. Fluttershy leaned forward, her cheeks still glowing red and passionately kissed her new found lover. She quietly whimpered as she felt Dash's tongue enter her mouth but quickly embraced it, closing her eyes in pleasure.

"That was amazing," Fluttershy moaned as Rainbow pulled away.

"Yeah, I know, I am pretty awesome after all," Dash said, using her arm to wipe off her mouth before smiling.

That entire evening, the two held each other in their arms, kissing one another and staring deeply into the others eyes, rarely speaking any words except the occasional ‘I love you.’ Not wanting the amazing moment to end, they sat together on the park bench until the glowing orange sun fell behind the trees and the world around them grew dark save the warm glow of the lamp posts lighting the streets around them.

"What are you thinking about?" Fluttershy asked, Rainbow Dash's arm wrapped tightly around her as they quietly watched the ever changing reflection of the moon bouncing off of the stream.

"I was thinking you really enjoyed going into the locker room with me today huh?" she grinned, her teeth glowing in the moonlight.

"Oh yes, very much so," Fluttershy giggled, blushing once more…

Omigod please please PLEASE write more flutterdash fanfic! You did a nice job on this.

I just might and thanks.

The main reason I decided to make this story in the EqG universe was to tap into the high school setting. If this story was normal pony it just wouldn't have had the feel I wanted and probably wouldn't even be the same story at all.

You'll be happy to know though, that the next shipfic I'm doing will in fact be pony.

fluttershy says yaaaaaay:yay:
and dash is like SWAG!!!!:rainbowdetermined2:
its so totally awsome :pinkiecrazy::heart::heart:

I loved this story it was so amazing I really hope that there will be more like this one.:heart::heart::heart::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::

3161713
Well, thank you! I am actually working on another shipfic right now. It's about...halfway finished. Let's just say this one is a bit more meaningful and the pairing is definitely more uncommon. It may be a while though. I've been so busy with school related stuff that I haven't had much time to write...or I'm just not in the mood to haha.

Um, excuse me, I'll have the sequel with a side of RIGHT NOW please. Thank you. :twilightsmile:

3474457I usually get really pissed off because people make the characters homosexual :flutterrage:, but since this is actually the best fanfic I read for a while and it put a smile on my face, I'm gonna have to say congratz :pinkiesmile:

3474926
Awwww yay! Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

3474926
Wait huh? Why does that piss you off?

3496066 Because it's just annoying when people try to bring homosexuality into the show, it's just really annoying how often people try to do that...

3547050
How do you know that there are no homosexual characters in the show? :applejackconfused:
I mean the only ones in the show of the main six that actually show any signs of sexuality is Twilight in Equestria girls and Rarity for prince blueblood. Other than that how do you know? :rainbowhuh:

3556337 Dude...it's a show made for little kids.I doubt they would let the characters show any signs of homosexuality :ajbemused:. The "signs of homosexuality" you speak of are simply the older fans trying to make the show more interesting, they are no more than rumors spread to make the characters seem to have a much deeper background than they already have. I'm sorry if this decieved you but don't worry, it happens with every fandom of a show :eeyup:.

3569334
I said signs of sexuality. Not homosexuality. The characters on the show for the most part don't show any interest in anyone except to name a few. Like Twilight blushing about Flash Sentry, Rarity wanting a prince, the cakes having babies, spike's crush. And why is it that homosexuality isn't for kids? That's nonsense. They should be educated on the matter in my opinion so they don't get a bias standpoint on homosexuality and have their sense on the matter broadened. I think it would be cool if the show actually showed homosexuality. But I doubt that will happen. Too much controversy for that shit. Hasbro wouldn't want that. :twilightoops:

Anyways the thing you said about people making rumors to add character depth, is that a bad thing? the canon show by itself is good but people are free to twist things in their own stories like make characters homosexual. hell sometimes the stories are better than the actual show. I'm bothered when they try to do a story according to canon yet make a character like spike homosexual when its clear he isn't. I mean yeah it happens to every fandom and my answer to you is......soooo what? :trixieshiftright: just don't read the stories that don't suit your tastes. The characters in the show could be gay. Like Fluttershy, you don't know her sexuality, because she never shows interest in anyone in that way.

Anyways, If homosexuality bothers you in Fimfiction, then don't read stories about same sex pairings. There is a filter. :moustache:

3572760 "And why is it that homosexuality isn't for kids? That's nonsense. They should be educated on the matter in my opinion so they don't get a bias standpoint on homosexuality and have their sense on the matter broadened." ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME WITH THIS STATEMENT?! Kids shouldn't be educated in things that are too explicit for their age! :ajbemused:

You obviously don't know how shows for the whole family work, if there are kids watching why would they hint at homosexuality? Sure it's an interesting topic and it's sometimes even cute, but it's not appropriate for kids. And I didn't say you weren't talking about signs of sexuality, I'm merely stating that there are less signs of homosexuality if not ANY signs of homosexuality in the show. Whereas signs of sexuality or "love" in a kids case would be much less obscure and much less inapropriate. :eeyup:

Plus the signs of sexuality outnumber the signs of homosexuality in the show, the fanfics showing signs of homosexuality doesn't bug me, it's the fact that it's so overused that pisses me off. If you're going to show a love interest in characters in my opinion it should be more sexual than homosexual. :scootangel:

Plus to be completely honest I doubt Lauren Faust or Hasbro approves of these "signs of homosexuality" that the fandom seem to be bringing up, they know that many kids watch the show and allot of Bronies or Pegasisters are kids so they wouldn't hint at homosexuality. I stand by what I said before, if these "signs of homosexuality" that you seem to be so pursuaded that MLP has to offer then you ought to know that it's simply Bronies that sneak them in there, not the original creators. :twilightsheepish:

My point is (As if I haven't already stated it at all :derpyderp2:) that if the fandom wants to keep sneaking homosexuality into the show, then I'm fine with it. But if it gets overused to the point of having like 500 fanfics based off the topics then I'll get pissed. The homosexuality theories that Bronies bring up don't bother me, it's because they are litterally brought up eveywhere I look. :flutterrage:

3572930
hahahaha 2 things.
1. What about homosexuality in general is too explicit for children? :rainbowhuh: Kids know what homosexuality is. Most do anyways. Some even know relatives who are gay. Its not too explicit. If your talking about what homosexual people do behind closed doors that's taking things way too far and is not what I was saying at all. Sexuality IS homosexuality. Its a type of sexuality. Sexuality in general is attraction or love. it can be homosexual or heterosexual. Some people are bisexual and pansexual but that's whole other topic. I'll give you an example of a kid friendly MLP episode with homosexuality. Say fluttershy comes out and says she's gay. Her friends at first think she's weird. She's hurt and cries friends start to see fluttershy is no different than how she normally is and boom they make up, twilight writes to Celestia about what she learned about acceptance and tolerance for other's preferences and package that and wrap it up! Episode for kids and adults, nice moral about accepting and tolerating those who are different and you got a kid's episode. Do you think that scenario I described was too explicit for a 7 or 8 year old girl? :trixieshiftright:

2. the reason homosexuality is prominent in mlp fanfiction is because most of the characters in the show are female and very few male characters that you know. Spike, Big Mac, Soarin, Flash Sentry and that cowboy from the buffalo episode (Braeburn?) and Shining Armor. Other than them there are no male characters known. You'd have to make OCs and that takes more time and planning and can be risky, because you gotta make him fit with the MLP world and the characters. Its no wonder there are a lot of lesbian stories on the site when you look for romantic stories. Its not over-used its just more suited for the world. You know more about the female characters and their relationships with each other are strong so its not that unbelievable considering the lack of development with the male characters. Spike and Shining Armor being exceptions. :eeyup: :moustache:

3574077 Are you even listening? I said that I doubt Hasbro would feature homosexuality on the show! Plus homosexuality and sexuality are two different things. Sexuality is the relationship between male and female, homosexuality is the relationship between two people of the same gender. :facehoof:

I don't want to start an argument with you, I really don't. But laughing at my statements and making it hard for me to put my point across is just making you look like a douche. There's this new thing, it's called PLOTTING. If you're suggesting that people are too lazy to make an OC that fits into the story as well as the other characters then that's pretty pathetic, I practically had my OC in the story with a unique character, an interesting background story that matched his behavour and had planned out what would happen if he met all of the characters in a matter of simply two days. Where as the mane six probably took at least months to make! Why not just make up your own male character (Like everybody does) and have them develop a love relationship with one of the mane six?!

All the statements I needed to make are in my last comment, but you seem to be being ignorant and simply sticking to your point rather than listening to much of the things I'm saying! Look, in your mind homosexuality may be appropriate for kids, but no one would ever approve of homosexuality being hinted on a kids show! The show has been going for almost three years now, why would they suddenly throw homosexuality into the show? It would shock everyone, even the Bronies that are 18+ years old! And I doubt that Fluttershy would just come up to her friends and say she's gay without showing any signs of a homosexual love relationship before hand, and if she did how would that be kid friendly? It's basically saying that the owners want to make the characters in the show seem more sexual, why would they? Kids are watching this f***ing show dude. And fanfics that include homosexuality are more fitting for the world, how? Allot more people will feel more comfortable if it was a female to male relationship, plus I think that allot of Bronies would feel put off if they saw that half the fanfics on this site are about homosexuality...

3574253
Woah alright chill. I'm just having a conversation with you man.

I know Hasbro wont introduce homosexuality into the show, because it would create too much controversy. Look what happened with derpy with just her name and eyes. So I get that, but I still think personally it would make a good episode. You didn't answer my question either. You danced around it. I asked what is about homosexuality that is too explicit for children? Give me a straight answer. do you think it is too explicit for children because its between those of the same gender. And no literally the definition of sexuality is the ability to have an erotic or sexual response. Sexual orientation is what you are attracted to. Homosexuality is the attraction to the same sex, heterosexuality is attraction to opposite sex. Sexuality is not automatically heterosexuality. Look it up. :ajbemused:

And you didn't read what I said did you. I said OCs are an option. but they are harder to do. why? Because you have to create a deep interesting character otherwise no one will be interested. And having an OC be with the mane six, it has to be an OC that works and a lot of the time it doesn't work because the mane six become OOC. Its hard to keep a balance. And I refuted all your points. You are not acknowledging what I said. I'm not ignorant of what you're saying, I just disagree and I am stating why I disagree with you're point of view.
:moustache:

Also that statement about no one accepting homosexuality In a kid's show is just religious or bias claims that its not appropriate yet they show characters in the show liking the opposite sex or showing crushes. Homosexuality isn't innapropriate and you have already shown clearly you can't state why it is. You just state that homosexuality is liking people of the same gender instead of heterosexuality where as you are liking someone of the opoosite gender. Which doesn't prove anything you said other than "hey there is a difference in sexual orientations!" :facehoof:

3574327 Holy s*** you replied to that fast :twilightoops:, homosexuality has nothing to do with religion, just wanted to get that out of the way. :scootangel:

It's inappropriate for kids because when they learn about people being homosexual or "gay" in their way of saying things they soon come to find that it can be used as an insult, and parents don't want their kids to be calling other people gay! Plus this is the very reason Anti-Bronies exist, because other people use the word as an insult they think that anyone who does something that's not likely for their gender to do they think they must be gay. :moustache:

How am I not acknowledging what you're saying? If I wasn't acknowledging it then I wouldn't come the the point of saying that you were being ignorant would I? I noticed that you were pretty much saying the same thing as before!

Now enough of this nonsense, our pathetic arguing is making Fluttershy cry! :fluttercry:

3574382
Oh fluttershy is tougher than she looks! :rainbowdetermined2:
no, you didn't acknowledge me before because you took what I said out of context like with the "are you f**king kidding me with this statement?"

Also I have to ask why did you read a story that clearly stated was flutterdash even if you hate stories that have homosexuality. You think its over-used but you still read them? :rainbowderp:

And kids wouldn't take it as bullying. Kids aren't that stupid. I mean yes kids do use gay as an insult but that's up to the parents. Besides its all the more reason why we should teach kids that saying gay as an insult isn't nice and we shouldn't do it. This is why I'm saying teach them more about it. sexual orientation is as genetically determined as whether you're right or left handed, and we don't make fun of the left handed kids. Its important we teach kids this but religion or bias does block this. Christianity is renowned for its homophobia view point. Again not all Christians are homophobes but religion teaches kids to look at the world through a doctrine rather than experience and knowledge. I don't hate religion, but I do see how it blocks an open mind at a young age. I was homophobic when I was younger but I sat down and did some research talk to gay people and came to understand there is nothing wrong with it, and we shouldn't treat homosexuals differently and tolerate their preferences. I think that's a nice message that MLP could do (though of course they won't.) :ajsleepy:

its the same as not teaching kids about mental illness because then they'd see it as an insult (retard.) But if we don't broaden their knowledge, then the world is gonna be full of narrow minded assholes who promote stigma, and I will have to share a planet with them. so I'm saying, teach kids more shit about how life works. So they can develop their own opinions and understanding of it rather than just growing up believing homosexuality is "unnatural" because the "bible says so." Seriously look it up, religion does have an effect on children and can have bias opinions about gay people. :moustache:
There is actually a group of Christian bronies who have forums discussing why homosexuality is evil and wrong.

3574504 So you're saying that if people aren't taught things that are inappropriate for their age the world will consist only of "narrow minded assholes"? We don't teach them that stuff now unless they ask and the world has plenty of smart people...

Plus you're making more Ponies cry :ajsleepy::applecry::fluttercry::pinkiesad2::raritycry::unsuresweetie:

3574515
fine if you want to ignore it then I'll concur and stop. I like arguing about things like this, because it gives me more understanding of why people are against the things that they are. I am trying to be civil you know. I meant no ill will. :moustache:

3574538 So you said about fifteen minutes ago that we weren't arguing but now you agree with me, plus who the fuck enjoys arguing? Are you some kind of troll? And by saying that I am against what I am you're dropping down to the level of petty insults? Maybe I'm the troll here... :facehoof:

Your realisation of how you were making things worse has made the Ponies happy :pinkiehappy::raritywink::twilightsmile:

3574547
Wait what? How was I making things worse? This was an argument sure, but I was trying to keep it civil. which is why when I said calm down i'm only having a convo with you. By the way a conversation is just exchanging ideas or points of view. We were arguing our conflicting points but there isn't anything wrong with that. You learn things you keep an open mind. I try not to make it heated. :twilightsmile:
:moustache:

3574564 Well for starters you just called me gay... :ajbemused:

......okay what? When give me citations! I did not call you gay once. And if I did I doubt it was in insult. Are we even looking at the same text. I did not once personally attack you.

3574585 " I like arguing about things like this, because it gives me more understanding of why people are against the things that they are." And you seem to think I'm against homosexuality then...well...figure it out for yourself. :twilightsheepish:

3574585 3574576
Whoa, when did my fic becoming a message board for discussing homosexuality?

3574605 Since Fluttershy started crying :rainbowwild:

3574609

You blatantly stated you are against homosexuality in stories. Anyways I never said you were gay I simply said I wanted to know why you are against homosexuality it stories because you said "it pisses me off when people put homosexuality into the show."
