I Dream of Twilight modblog
Month
(In this post, “Twixies” refers to the Twixie Genies run by NavitasErusSirus, “IDoTS” stands for the I Dream of Twilight Sparkle blog, and “Albumin” is my Albumin Flask.)
The three names (and bottles) mentioned in the title are what I call the Genie Gang, a reference to the Gang of Four that…
That’s be interesting. Though I hope you’re not meaning to drag us into a story arc together this soon or anything. As we’re kinda busy with our own plans for our own blogs for a little while. Next time I see Navitas though I’ll tell him about this though. And if it’s just a fun one-off thing then we can see what we can do.
I also got your message to me about putting our characters into a single image. So it sounds like it’s pointing towards a one-off thing. Which again, we can see what we can do about it.
Oh, if you have a Steam or a Skype account we can IM talk instantly as to make this easier if you’d like. Both me and Navitas have accounts on both. ^^
I have recently saw the Twixies’ latest works - the mane six in a lamp - made for a friend of mine, Genie Twilight. This is indisputably an attempt to shut me out of the scene. Therefore, I declare war on these two magical ponies.
Wait what? That’s no reason to declare anything. The genie costumes were mainly based on something I did earlier in Genie Twilight where Twilight did a Genie Simulation. And it’s just for fun not to mention it was just a nice thing he did for me as a gift, if you fully intended to have all the Mane 6 as Genies in your blog, this doesn’t mean anything towards that. (It’s a one-off kind of thing anyay). Navitas/Twixie Genies’ mod is also one of my friends.
Your genies are vastly different anyway, don’t think I or Navitas are trying to shut you out. We both in fact are very much supportive of your blog and wish it (no pun intended) success.
I’m being moderately cagey about who ships with who in my TwiDash canon.
In the end, no matter what I do, I know at least some people will be disappointed. There is literally no way around that, and it’s impossible to please everyone.
I’m pretty open minded about ships, and I generally don’t…
Very well put together thoughts ^^
In my opinion there’s no such thing as a terrible or even a perfect ship between the Mane 6. My thoughts on shipping at least for Ponies is “If you like a ship, just ship it”. There’s ways a relationship between a pair of the Mane 6 can work and there’s way they can’t work. But a perfect pair is boring and unrealistic. The Mane 6 all have personalities that have some sort of contrast and similarity. It’s a big part why we enjoy the show in the first place, we like to see the personalities mesh and clash against eachother occasionally. Putting two of them in a romantic sense just adds more to that.
Some ships are more popular then others, but I think there’s just as many pros and cons you can find in a common ship like AppleDash then you do a less common ship like ApplePie (Applejack X Pinkie that is xP). Shippers have their reasons, which why even when Sam or Serious Dash say TwiDash is a terrible ship and/or doesn’t make sense. Even if it’s mainly a joke, I don’t really think it applies. Because people like Pirate Dash or you, Ambris have your reasons. You can ultimately agree or disagree with a ship, but there’s no such thing as an objectively terrible or perfect pair. It’s all personal opinion.
