Nah I’m not thinking of the fandom ships. Just protenal cannon ships.
 
 
@Background Pony #2471  
I agree with you with the sitting/standing near you = we’re a couple ship. What I don’t get is how in the hell is this episode ruin?

@Background Pony #2471  
So what I’m getting from you is: you don’t ship it.  
Cool. Whatever. I don’t get why fandom reactions “ruin” episodes for you, but you don’t need to throw a tantrum over it.

@Entrinity  
How is this pandering?

@Entrinity
 
Man what ? Nobody in the fandom shipped marblemac before the episode so how is that pandering ?

@Background Pony #B5BB  
I never said I liked Cheerimac either. But that one was at least not totally directed to the fanbase. This one obviously was.

Pinkie’s the one that shoved them together in the first place. Of course she loves it.
 
All part of her plan to make the Apples and Pies one family.

@Entrinity  
The whole point of “Hearts and Hooves Day” was that it was wrong of the CMC to try to push Cheerilee and Big McIntosh together when they didn’t have any interest in going beyond friendship. The Cheerimac shipteasing we’ve had since then is just as much pandering as this was.

@Background Pony #0846  
I totally ducking agree with you! I’m buttmaud!

Because fuck Cheerilee. It’s actually pretty annoying that the writers keep pandering to the community. Whenever a franchise starts pandering, it almost always ruins it.

@Background Pony #0846
 
but they actually showed signs that they liked each other
 
this is not a fanon ship
 
this is a fanon elaboration on a very obvious two-sided crush in canon

first of all, related, distant or not most people hear the word cousin and nope. second. this is literally “pinkie pushed you into me, now lets fuck” this is as bad as the fact that there are ships based on two characters sitting near eachother.  
Also, this entire episode is ruined now, any time there is marble everyone will think mac, whenever people think of this episode, it wont be the “oh hey, its christmas and the rock family has some crazy but interesting religious practices” it will be “marble x mac lolololol”  
Yes I’m buttmad

@elvis jeger  
Big Mac.  
Flash is only implied to steal waifus because tumblr wants him hated/dead  
and Spike helps out everyone, but only has eyes for Rarity.

big mac vs flash sentry vs spike, who steal more waifus ?

@Kamazeustra  
it’s a give and take.  
if they are related, then it’s two wallflowers blooming together  
if they aren’t, free game

They obviously had chemistry together. Does nobody in either family care, or are they just all operating under the assumption that they aren’t related?

@Background Pony #AA70  
Big Mac gets ALLLLLL the Mares

@Nova21  

 
You mean love rectangle….. Or love x-gon if really think about it…

And so the love triangle begins

Even Pinkie canonically wants them together.
