Description

I absolutely adore these two and their friendship (I love unlikely/odd/ friendships far too much for my own good). Seriously, their friendship is my favorite in all of MLP.   

But if you ship them that’s just fine (I honestly don’t care what you ship, being mean to someone over fictional character’s love lives is ridiculous) I admit that I can kind of ship them at times, especially when I see cute fan art of them. I just prefer their relationship staying platonic.

While I do ship things and have OTPs, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a strong, close friendship. Just two people that care and love each other in a way that’s not romantic. You don’t have to be related to someone for them to be like family and I adore friends that become family to each other. Friendships often seem to be overlooked to romance in fandoms, (I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with romance, I can really enjoy a good gradual romance, just that it’d be nice for platonic relationships to get more attention) which is a shame.

So anyway, I love Fluttershy and Discord being super close, adorable best friends that are comfortable with each other.  

 draws some amazing art with them and portrays their friendship wonderfully in her fanfic Chaotic Netrual. She definitely inspired me to draw Fluttershy and Discord. She’s one of my favorite MLP artists here on DA so you should definitely take a look at her art if you already haven’t. ^^

Oh thank you so much for the shout out! ;w;
And this is adorable sfskdsdhflsdh!!!
This really made me feel a little better. It seems lately all I've been doing is defending my opinion to people who seem to think the only reason I don't ship them is because I MUST be a-sexual or something. (not that there's anything wrong with that, but to be told that MUST be why I don't ship them romantically is rather hurtful.)
I'm just so happy to see I'm not alone. And not everyone thinks everything I do with these two is wrong and "not good enough".

You're very welcome, I love your art!  
Aw, thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you.  
I'm really glad I could make you feel a little better. ^^ I'm sorry to hear that, I don't know why people would assume that you're asexual or something just because you don't ship them. Not everyone is going to ship the same things, but that doesn't mean someone is wrong. We all have opinions and it isn't right to try to force others to change it or insult others for thinking differently. You shouldn't have to defend your opinions. I understand why you don't ship them. They already have such a wonderful friendship that I don't feel it needs to be romantic to be meaningful. Friendship is just as important as romance. ^^
I don't think that everything you do with these two is wrong and "not good enough" at all. I honestly adore what you do with Fluttershy and Discord, your art of them always puts a big smile on my face.  I always really enjoy looking at your art (and I loved reading your fanfiction Chaotic Neutral). I'm sure that there are other people who prefer their friendship too, so you're definitely not alone.

Thank you so very much X'3 I'm so happy to hear all of this. It's something I've really been getting into stupid arguments with recently. And I honestly don't like defending myself and arguing. It makes me unhappy.
So this really cheered me up a great deal.
And thank you very much for reading my story ;w; When I write another, I hope I can do just as well.

You're welcome!  Aw, I'm glad I was able to cheer you up.  
No problem, thank you for writing it. XD. I'll be looking forward to your next story, I know it'll be great. ^^ (I really don't want to sound nosy or pushy, but I was wondering if your next story is going to be about Fluttershy and Discord? I'm in love with how you portray their friendship and there can never be too many stories about their friendship.  Just curious, I understand completely if you can't answer that yet. ^^)

No I can let you know what I have going for now
I definitely will be focusing on Discord and Fluttershy again I also want to give some nice focus on Spike, who I actually like a lot. But it will focus on Discord and Fluttershy. This isn't a spoiler at all (I'll probably mention it in the first chapter) But I actually want to use Sombra as the villain for the story, since I feel he had a lot of potential and wasn't used enough in the show itself.
I'm just letting the idea simmer for now. I have Comic Con to go to and I plan to start writing after July when I come back from the States because then my head will be clear and I can feel fresh with a new project. I will also hopefully be getting a doggy then, so it'll be a good time to start new, big projects you know?
That's the one problem with writing long stories and being so involved with them @___@ it takes a lot of mental preparation and you can't just churn out stories like others who do it more naturally. Or maybe that's just me XD;;

Lacedra In reply to C-Puff [2015-04-06 23:08:10 +0000 UTC]

*cheers* I am so glad to hear that.  Oh, I like Spike a lot too. ^^ Sombra definitely has a lot of untapped potential, I'll be looking forward to what you do with him. 
Oh, you're planning on getting a dog? Do you have any idea what kind you might get?
Some people do churn stories out fast but there's nothing wrong with needing to take more time (it would probably take me a very long time to write what you did XD). The effort you put into your story definitely showed. I think that all the effort you're willing to put into writing is really admirable. ^^

Entire fanbase already think that you are asexual.

They look so cuddly; I love it. Cuddles are my one true weakness *faints*

Friendship or romantic, it doesn't make much of a difference for me. As long as it's Fluttershy and Discord, that's all that matters, right?

Lacedra In reply to MissDarkAngel1 [2015-04-02 02:19:57 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thank you (cuddles are my weakness too)!  

Absolutely, though just friendship is my preference I really don't mind romance. ^^ I love these two cuties.

Thank you!  I had trouble drawing ponies at first so I'm really glad you like how I draw them. ^^

I wish I could draw ponies but they look terrible.

They can be surprisingly tricky, that's okay my first attempts were really terrible. XD All I can say is that practice really helps, at least it helped me improve a little.

Yeah, me too. ^^ I generally prefer to draw girls but I've been trying to draw guys and animals more often.

KenneDuck In reply to Lacedra [2015-04-01 14:46:36 +0000 UTC]

I can draw like only a couple guys but I'm bad when it becomes to the torso of a man's body.

Lacedra In reply to KenneDuck [2015-04-01 14:53:30 +0000 UTC]

I'm not really good at drawing guys, I keep worrying that I drew them too feminine. XD Younger boys are easier for me since they aren't bulky.

I need facial hair to make sure they look like a guy.

I don't think I've ever drawn a guy with facial hair, I don't know why I haven't. XD
