this art has mastered the shade and light effections

Rarity: My ship has sunk. :(

Ship

I don’t care what anyone says I still ship these two

Boy, I am a sucker for a really well-done atmosphere and this piece just has it. Beautiful lighting, weather, and details like how Sweetie Belle’s hair is being messed up by the rain.
 
Not much of a Spikebelle shipper, but this is the type of art that would change that.

Its a really cute pic even if I do absolutely detest the ship. Nice touch with the weather.

I like to go about it a bit differently. Instead of shipping two characters that are most similar, I try to ship two that I think would be compatible. In some ways, this does mean similarities: similar age, similar values/morals, a shared interest in something, etc. But in some ways, this means having differences: one is more social than the other, one is more dom/other is more sub, one is more lawful/other is more chaotic, etc. This allows enough similarities to be able to relate to one another whilst having enough differences to keep things ~spicy~. This is why I love Spikebelle _{and hate Fluttermac.}

@Jryvn  
In many ways.
 
And yeah, always pleasing to have a chill resolution.

I did say “most,” not “all.”

@Jryvn  
I feel that logic is situational.

@Jryvn  
For the most part that’s true. But sometimes you’ll see a ship between completely unshippable characters and their will go down with their ship no matter what.

@Daneasaur  
I’m glad I was able to resolve that at least.
 
My theory is that most fan pairings revolve around two things: one, a character the fan personally likes; and two, a character they feel is most similar to them and thus can live through.

I 100% ship this!

@Jryvn  
That’s all I wanted, a Spikebelle shipper who admits that.
 
Most have some overly complex claim that Spike mingled with the CMC frequently, when that was never the case. Just glad to see one who just freely admits they just like to pair them.

@Background Pony #BAFA  
No problem, I guess.
 
I suppose I should say I’m sick of defending my ships. Anyone who tells you what you like is wrong can bite themselves.

@Jryvn  
Sorry, I was responding to something else

@Background Pony #BAFA  
It’s who I am.

@Daneasaur  
Are you ever not negative and not nitpicky?

@Daneasaur  
Thia fandom ships characters Before they even appear on screen together

@Daneasaur  
I’m guessing my dude here doesn’t know how shipping works.

@Daneasaur  
So what?

By the series end, Spike exchanged fewer words with sweetie belle than he did with Gabby Griffon.
 
Just admit you only ship Spike with sweetiebelle because of that single snapshot frame in Canter lot Wedding Part 2 and have no other basis for it. ^^
