Bull3tM0nk3y Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Leave it to the fandom do hook up random things... Eh, could be worse. Like MordiTwi. Mordecai from Regular Show and Twilight Sparkle. L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Mordetwi was just terrible. No reasoning or hinting led up to it, yet it is a popular (and widely hated) crossover ship. Mordecai doesn't have anything in common with Twilight Sparkle at all, and their personality traits don't match up whatsoever. At least with shipping with on-show characters, there were inklings to full-scale connections of potential ships. Though, the crossover ships I support are PinkiePool (DeadpoolxPinkie Pie) just for the reason that they both are insane 4th wall breakers, SonicDash (despite being hated. SonicxRainbow Dash of course) because they have many things in common and would actually make a good pairing, and Keldity (KeldeoxRarity) because it isn't a stretch, I like how the fandom interprets the pairing and the fact that they just seem perfect for each other based on their designs (Can't use personality, since Keldeo's general personality is like that of a background pony. If personality is used, then you can say he would probably have one befitting of a knight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonk Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's nothing bad if you support a ship. Just make sure that it isn't a ridiculous ship that makes no sense (or in the case of Discord shipping, idk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I think shipping of already established characters is stupid anyway. Mainly because almost NOBODY actually THINKS about the characters they're shipping. They think about ONE personality trait, and run with it, when characters a hell of a lot deeper than that. They also inflate minor character traits into the main thing about the character, or turn it into something completely different. Background character X Background character is fair game, because their personality traits have never been established, but most of the pairings are just plain strange.

Lonk Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Shipping is an important part of fiction (we know I love reading it) because it is capable of fleshing out characters and progressing the story along nicely (at least in the good fics. Badfics rush into a relationship immediately with no development). That's my reason of enjoying shipping at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 In my book, shipping is when fans imagine a relationship between two characters who aren't in one. Writing a relationship with characters that were created by oneself, and not preexisting characters, is important for a story and fleshing out characters. Trying to pick two random characters from your favorite tv show and saying "They'd make a great couple," is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I don't mind shipping with established characters for the sake of fiction (as stated), but it has to be done in a way that it is very plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Part of the reason why shipping tends to be so obscure, is because it involves characters with already established norms, and throws it all up into the air.Well, more or less.

Shradow Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I only ever ship stuff that's completely/mostly canon, anyways. Unless it's Fire Emblem. Then all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Discord would have a charming singing voice, like as if he was Scar in the Lion King. But I guess that was too late since Discord has turned good so we won't see that discorded side of music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Amazon listed the blueray as R before the movie came out, mistakenly. To be fair, if there was a fan-made movie of the same premise... SO ANYWAY, other than fanfiction, are there any other fan works that you guys follow? Personally, I really only pay attention to this series called Doctor Whooves and Assistant, which essentially states that Doctor Whooves is The Doctor, having been reincarnated into a pony, in an alternate universe this time (That universe being the same Equestria is in, not an alternate Equestria). The aforementioned assistant is Ditzy/Derpy, and they do her character very well. The series has no animation, though there have been people slowly animating the parts, so it's almost completely the voice acting and imagination, with a few pictures, though there's generally, like, one or two, maybe more for the really long episodes. Lots of humor, lots of drama. Really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
