Happy sex? |
| Derpie_Pie #244185 1 year ago |
Hope, this will happen in Season 2
@181: No, they are close friends. |
| Gill_Sans #244190 1 year ago |
FUCKING GOD WHERE IS MY INSULIN? |
| Jackarunda #244213 1 year ago |
Derpie_Pie said it.
They are close friends. |
| MaroonBunyip #244215 1 year ago |
^ that
Just cause I like to spend the most of my time with my closest mates, dosn't mean I bend over for them. |
| Zharkaer #244228 1 year ago |
I'm pretty sure fanon has established that they are married to each other |
| MaroonBunyip #244238 1 year ago |
fanon opinion matters? |
| Zharkaer #244264 1 year ago |
In this fandom, probably |

More like friends with benefits |

@Maroon
Considering these two (and all the background ponies for that matter) are only characters because of the fandom, yes fanon opinion matter |
| Anonymous #244378 1 year ago |
Where's that quote from Lauren Faust? You know, the one that basically says "Sex and sexuality have absolutely no place in a children's TV show."
That's why fanon opinion doesn't matter on any issues. |
| Ponyholic #244409 1 year ago |
They can still be a couple without sexuality coming up. |
| AdrianBrony #244588 1 year ago |
insisting against fannon is even more pointless insisting against cannon. fannon seems t be them being married or something like it. and honestly I don't see anything wrong with that.
they can be close friends to you, but don't get annoyed when people make them lovers. |
| Doctor_Whooves #244718 1 year ago |
They could be made a couple in the show without giving "sex and sexuality a place in a children's TV show", unless we assume that Twilight and Pinkie's parents shown in Cutie Mark Chronicles aren't married and are just really good friends, lol.
It probably still won't be done, though. This show airs in America, though, and unfortunately too many parents there would be against the idea of a same-sex couple on a children's show for Hasbro to ever risk allowing it. Another 10 or 15 years, and maybe they'll get there. |
| Ponyholic #244736 1 year ago |
Not to mention the fact that the show acknowledges romantic attraction, so relationships are definitely already in there. |

I actually am not overly fond of this pairing for one reason and one reason only;
Why must all fandoms of everything ever always make EVERY-ONE gay??? |
| Anonymous #244753 1 year ago |
@739
it doesn't help over 90% of the ponys in equestia are female, be grateful they don't have a amazon like culture. |
| Doctor_Whooves #244758 1 year ago |
Well, Equestria's gender ratio just seems badly skewed (though not as badly as in previous incarnations as MLP), so if you do want to ship a main character with a male there's barely anyone to choose from. Just Spike, and he's not really old enough. There are scarcely any male characters with official names, even.
Anyway, Rarity's the only character whose been shown to be attracted to males, but even that could just mean she's bi. And after her experience with Bluebood, I wouldn't blame her for giving it a go with Fluttershy, lol. |
| Ponyholic #244794 1 year ago |
I might be more annoyed at people forcing traits on them if they had any of their own to begin with. It does rub me the wrong way when people ignore established story and character to come to their own interpretation, and then try to cram that down our throats, but there is nothing established here, so whatever. |
| AdrianBrony #244822 1 year ago |
the way I see it in this fandom, most works only have a few characters at a time be gay, and the rest our straight. in one piece of fanart, rarity and applejack myght be gay, while in another both are straight while 2 other characters are gay.
I've only seen a handful of fics with more than 2 couples worth of gay characters. so that's why it doesn't really bug me; nobody made EVERYONE gay... at the same time. |
| AdrianBrony #244828 1 year ago |
#244718
there is SOME hope. it's a canadian team, and times are changing. it's only a matter of time until the first kids show with one crops up. |
| Doctor_Whooves #244842 1 year ago |
Yeah, Canada would do it; but the way I hear it is that Hasbro needs to approve pretty much everything that's included in the show. They even approve the designs for every background pony (I wish they'd use some of them for toy colouring instead of those nasty, clashing recolours they pump out).
Even if some people at Hasbro really wanted to do it on a personal level, I don't think the company as a whole would okay it quite yet, since their primary goal is just to sell toys. And if they did that, it could potentially cause those conservative suburbanite parents to boycott their toys... maybe not even just MLP toys, depending on how much publicity it got. |
| AdrianBrony #244863 1 year ago |
#244842
at the same time, hasbro has a history of being the type to mostly go "sell toys, don't get us sued, and don't cause a massive moral panic, and do whatever you want." I'm not sure how much of a moral panic there WOULD be in the country over it. I mean, archie comics got away with it just fine with not a single person speaking up. though you are probably right. fix news and the like can really whip up a moral panic over nothing. |
| Ponyholic #244865 1 year ago |
I doubt they could say anything outright, yeah, but a plausibly deniable implied relationship might be doable. |
| AdrianBrony #244882 1 year ago |
#244865
I could say they could probably pull off something like "thost two are such nice friends" from one of the CMC, to with Applejack or someone responds. "well... I'll tell you when you're older." cutting it close? yeah, plausible deniability of romantic involvement? no. plausible deniability of trying to indoctrinate children? yeah. |
| Anonymous #245558 1 year ago |
This is honestly the only ship I'm cool with, probably because BG ponies have so little characterization that you can do anything with 'em without stepping on canon's hooves. (So what Ponyholic@794 said.)
But at the same time, I'd be okay seeing them as just hetero life mates. Not enough lady-bromance on the TV box. What's the word for that, anyway? Womance? Homance? |
| Drasvin #245563 1 year ago |
I like the idea of these two being a couple. Most shipping I don't like, but I find Lyra and Bonbon adorable and lovable. Shame the 'moral guardians' wouldn't put up with a same-sex couple in a children's show. |
| Anonymous #245983 1 year ago |
I long for the day when Pinkie goes to Lyra and BonBon's house in an episode for some reason or another, and it's Lyra that answers the door.
And when she greets Pinkie Pie, it's Ellen DeGeneres as the VA. :-D She'd invites her in to try "The Best Cupcakes in Equestria" assortment that Bon Bon has just set to cool. To complete the joke, she'd be wearing pants. |

hmm... actually that voice would fit pretty well. |
| Doctor_Whooves #246120 1 year ago |
@Anon558: Great, now I want to see these two as Jay & Silent Bob. |
| Anonymous #247129 1 year ago |
I'm against EVERYPONY being gay, but I'm fine with Bon Bon and Lyra being gay. What's wrong with a few gay ponies? |
| AdrianBrony #248512 1 year ago |
#247129
I'm similar. I'm against all of them being gay... at the same time. if a writer has plenty of fics, and in total the author has made gay couples out of all the cast... but only one fic at a time (AJ and rarity are lovers in one, but are straight in a different fic.) then I'm fine with it. if every single character is full on gay not even bi in the same fic, well, then things might get a little far fetched for me. |
| AdrianBrony #248958 1 year ago |
but then again I get bugged when someone goes all "X is STRAIGHT/GAY" as if they are trying to prove a point, and as if fans actually think any character is anything canonically in that regard.
also bugs me for some odd reason when a fific has everyone shipped and not one of the characters involved (not even a background character) is gay. that, however, I know is just petty. |
| Anonymous #1344186 2 months ago |
What bugs me is people assuming that someone (or somepony) can only be either straight or gay, and bisexuality does not exist at all. News flash: IT DOES. (And no, it does not necessary mean being attracted to both genders on the same level. And also no, bisexuals do not CHOOSE to love them both.) |
