Description "Request" for that I pretty much ran away with. I'm pretty oblivious to this ship. Posting before bed.

This represents a specific memory of mine, one that I cherish long after the friendship turned sour because the feeling was so wonderful.

Not a particular fan of this shipping myself (mainly because I want Fluttershy all to myself...) but ... this is ultra cute!

Dear diary, the authorities have removed the pair of black pants from the couch, there is no longer any place for me to sleep. I vomited three times in protest but there is no sign that anything will change-

Whoops, sorry, wrong picture.

This is very nice, and I believe it has the power to reach the hearts of many viewers.
It tugs on those heartstrings and memories many of us will never let die.

Thanks. I wish the inspiration to do this kind of picture would hit me more often. Backgrounds and colour palletes are such a great way of conveying feeling.

I don't know why this pair is liked so much.......Aside from it being one of the few F/M shippings.

some-pegasister In reply to CelestialRainicorn [2013-06-12 05:08:06 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, I think most people like it because it's popular. Young or immature fans of shipping see it very frequently and don't really understand how romance works, so they can't form their own opinions about what characters would work well together. It's become one of the steriotypical ships. Generally, if someone ships Fluttermac, they also ship Soarindash, CaramelJack, Sparity (or sometimes Raripants), PokeyPie, and Twilight one of three or four random background ponies (Orion, Comet Tail, or sometimes Cappachino). They're common, so those who don't understand howlove works gravitate towards them and often become rabid (i would know, I used to be a rabid Fluttermac fan until I grew up a little). Though I am not saying that all fans of any one of these ships are like this. I personally like FlutterMac, because Big Mac is drastically different from many people's interpretations . In my head, he's sort of a sexual deviant who never realy cares about the mare herself, he just wants to get lucky. He's very smooth when flirting and not nearly as shy as he's depicted. He ends up falling for timid Fluttershy and her actual personality. However, he needs to learn to be gentle and respectful. He also helps her to be braver when it comes to new experiences, like dating and intimate relationshsips. They balance each other out. That's just my interpretation for you.

I think it's because they're both kinda shy and enjoy spending time on their own. I don't ship it personally, but I guess I can kinda see why. And their colour schemes look good together.

I think it's because their colours go amazingly well together and their personalities and everything. They're really fun to draw.

The contrast between the deep bright colours of the characters and the faded softness of the background work really well together. Pose is cute and sweet and I can really see how it would represent a fond memory of yours, well done

Aww, thanks! Yeah, I did a lot of deliberating on whether or not to remove their lines completely and paint them like the background, but I think I found a pretty solid middle ground.
