Yeah, I never figured it as anything other than an apology/gesture of reform. Even if there was something between the two, I think even Discord would realize that was very much the wrong time to make his move :-/

Now the wink, the wink clearly meant that Discord and Celestia had plotted together and arranged the whole thing as a way to get Twilight to open the box! This is clearly the only explanation and the whole basis for my fanfiction universe :twonk:

Nobody gives a fuck about shipping, stop talking about it in this place that expressly forbids it.

Shipping is dumb, but I would love a scene or comic issue with Discord and Celestia just kinda broing out in the castle.

If nobody gave a fuck about shipping, then nobody would care when it was brought up, so there would be no need for a rule prohibiting its discussion. It seems that such a regulation has to be in place because people do give a fuck whenever shipping is brought up, so therefore the original statement is a faulty explanation for the existence of a legal ruling.

...

But whatever. Let the conversation die.

I care about shipping. Not, like, fanatically, but I do find it fun on occasion. I actually don't understand why it's banned here, other than presuming that it's a result of some kneejerk reaction to something in the forum's distant past.

But whatever, it's against the rules. :pinkieshrug:

Because there are few more toxic subgroups in fandom than shipping wars and shit, and it really doesn't add a ton, not to mention the issues some of us in, say, the lgbt community dislike the logic that fuels most ships of "two women/men who make eye contact? Totes gayzos for each other."

I guess some people really have had enough of silly love songs.

Oh well, as you like. It's a bit depressing, though, for a guy who grew up on Disney to hear.

Cut the shipping talk-debate out.

To answer any questions so this issue can rest, shipping is banned here because we don't want anything to do with the drama that inevitably follows it. While pony doesn't give the same level of fuel that Avatar TLA did (Which is the fandom that is the genesis for this rule), we're avoiding the issue entirely by making it verboten.

It's not a knock on you if you like it, you're free to love it as much as you like on Fimfic or Skype or whatever, but the forums aren't the place for it. That's all.

Just finished a re-read of the Celestia/Spike "Friends Forever" comic. I'm wondering now if I wasn't paying attention the first time around, cos I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it this time. Nice premise, super charming art and some great dialogue between the two leads, even addressing a really important topic in the show, i.e. to what extent is Celestia deliberately tagging Twilight in for all the big villain showdowns?

Great stuff, glad I went back for a second look.

You know what I meant. The point is don't bring it up.

It's against the rules because I'm too old to be dealing with moronic Zutara-esque people anymore. I actually don't really care that much about harmless shipping, or if people enjoy ship stuff on their own time. Whatever floats your boat. But in discussion forums it inevitably leads to the crazy, and I (and the mod team) don't want to deal with it. There's plenty of other places where it can be discussed, and you're free to talk about it there.

Yep. In my mind it just perfectly addresses both characters; Spike gets to be more than comic relief, but do it in ways that are both more natural and more believable than when the show gets it into its head to do a "Spike isn't just comic relief" episode, and gives a surprisingly thoughtful look at Celestia's own personality and actions as well.

Think it's far and away the best of the FF series so far (not to say other FF issues haven't been good). It did the best at making the story really showcase the two being friends, rather than being and issue with these two characters. The CMC/Discord issue did a good job with this, and even the Rainbow Dash/Trixie issue did a nice job developing a friendship between two who were not friends.
