Welcome to /phoenix/. This is a wildcard board. It will be assigned a topic, and every couple of weeks, the topic will change. The time frame for topic change may vary depending on how popular a topic is. The idea is to encourage fresh discussions, particularly of things which have not been talked about too often in the past.

The board's traffic will likely die out, and then rise from the ashes, born anew when the topic is changed, much like it's namesake.

The new official topic for /Phoenix/ is shipping!

We're asking that the threads be kept in relation to MLP for this topic, and we're going to cycle through board topics more quickly from now on to keep things fresh.

We're expecting some healthy debate on this subject, but try to keep things civil. Standard ponychan rules apply.

Enjoy!

Is it sad that me and a friend came up with an in universe reason that the Mane 6 would all get shipped with each other?

Is this pony shipping material? How much does appearance count into when you ship? Is it really what's on the inside that counts, or is it more if they just look good together?

In a desperate attempt to keep up activity, let's make up some stupid pairings that there cannot come anything good out of. I'll start as usual.

-Rarity x Black Dynamite (guess what my pic is)
-Pinkie Pie x Mr. Whiskers
-Mary Sue x Marty Stu x Big Macintosh (harem three-way)
-Twilight Sparkle x your mom. Neh, just kidding

Any other ideas?

We don't seem to have a thread about this, so here goes.

This chart shows how common different pairings are in fanfiction. Please read the text in the image before asking anything about it.

So based on that, let's discuss why some pairings are more common than others. For example, you'll notice Appledash is the most common paring, and Pinkity the least common mane6 pairing. Why is that?

I'm indifferent to FlutterDash. In my eyes, they are just very good friends, just like approximately every other Mane Six combination.

But of course, it all boils down to shipper logic, which as we all know, rarely makes sense.

It's a board where topic changes from time to time, so only temporarily will the topic be shipping.

How do you feel about fanfics and pictures where the author/artist is shipping 'you' with the pony?

Does is disturb you're making out with an animated pony?

Or does it give you the chance to insert your OC in the situation of love?

Or have you just fallen in love with your equestrian phantasmal significant other and you love that stuff to death as you silently weep to yourself why they're cartoons?

I find it clunky, since the character described as 'you' isn't actually me.

I'd much rather the characters all be themselves than one of them be meant to be me. Generic "insert-yourself-onto-this-character" protagonists are awful, whether or not they're presented in second person.
>> No. 14912
It's actually not really disturbing, but a great way to insert yourself into a place that might not exist or exists in a dimensional area.
Think about this: What if all cartoons had some kind of world of their own in a universe of their own, something like a universe of cartoons.

And, personally, I love Rainbow Dash a lot. But that doesn't matter, because 2nd person takes quite a lot of skill to master in order to make it so it is as if you are in the story.
2nd Person uses a lot of words with "you" in it.
Ex: You, your, yourself

It isn't. Most popular shipping is, by far, Applejack/Rainbow Dash. Most common background pony ship is Vinyl/Octavia.

Because they were seen together all the time, and that sparked a shipping.

To be honest, I'm new to this whole shipping thing. Majority of the shows/movies/comics/etc that I like/have liked are usually unshippable or the characters I like can't really be shipped (or it just wouldn't make much sense). Honestly, the only characters I have ever shipped before these two were Jessie and James from Pokemon and that was like, what, back in '99? lol

I also didn't know there was a story tied to that picture. Do you have a link?
>> No. 14895

I do! It's The Fires of Friendship by Ponydora Prancypants.

It's actually a pretty good story.

Can we get a shipping vector thread going? I really love making "Real life" pony pictures and writing short stories about them, and pictures with shipping vectors are the most enjoyable to write about.

I don't care if it's straight, gay, or who it involves.
Kissing and hugging is fine.
