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.
