So I got a drawing tablet for Christmas, but didn’t use it until recently. So I did a sketch dump of my Mane 8 ships! Since I have such unusual ships I want to explain some. 

TwiMac (Twilight X Big Mac)

Honestly, when I first came up with my Next gen I just thought this was cute. Twilight’s friends were everything to her, so it made sense to me she might fall in love with one of her friends’ brothers. I felt Big Mac would marry a hard working pony, and felt Twilight was just so. Plus, Big Mac is a very calm pony and Twilight can get rather excited and worried, so they felt like a good pair. 

RariTail (Rarity X Comet Tail)

I.. kinda just thought of this and thought it was a good ship. I had never seen it before, so that was a plus Before this, I shipped Sparity and I still have a Sparity foal in my next gen, mainly ‘cause I didn’t want to get rid of her  I’m not completely sure of how I imagine Comet Tail’s personality. I like the idea of him being an awkward(I feel like I spelled that wrong ) and sassy cinnamon roll.  

ThunderDash (Thunderlane X Rainbow Dash)

For Rainbow I oringinally shipped Soarin, but than a fanfiction made me ship Thunderlane with her (sorry Soarindash!). Though, he seems like a patient and fun guy that I think would work well with RD.  

FlutterSentry (Fluttershy X Flash Sentry)

Okay, I love this ship so much I don’t know why but they are my one of my OTPs and probably my favorite Mane 8 ship. I like the idea of Flash being protective of Fluttershy and her calm nature being a breath of fresh air from guard stuff.

PinkieFavor (Pinkie Pie X Party Favor)

It’s Pinkie Pie don’t question it XD jk, Idk I like this ship. Party Favor stuck me as a very responsible pony who is kind to others, and I felt Pinkie could use him. Plus they can have a good time partying together XD.

AppleBrown (Applejack X Hash Brown)

sigh Luckily, I’m not super popular or something (yet) so I haven’t gotten any comments about shipping an OC with a main character. Honestly (ha), I couldn’t find anypony to ship with her. Nopony seemed good. So I thought “why not make a character?” I know people don’t like it, but what’s the differene of shipping Caramel with her when we have no insight of his personality? Or any background with a main character? The only difference is that you didn’t design the character yourself. 

Anyways, I am going to do a bio for Hash Brown at some point. He’s a polite stallion with a good heart, who enjoys spreading happiness with good cooking. Applejack and him will have a very fun realtionship

StarStar (Starlight X Star Tracker)

I think this ship is cute and I haven’t seen it before. Before I shipped Starburst, BUT two reasons I changed: 1. All of my Mane 6 ships were uncommon. It felt weird shipping something so common, especially a main character. 2. In the Mintiverse, Starlight and Sunset are sisters, and I liked the idea of Sunburst being their cousin. I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that, since I couldn’t ship Starburst… but I did and had to look for a stallion to ship with Starlight. At first, I thought maybe Starswirl… but thaat didn’t feel right. Then I thought of Star Tracker. That seemed cute. I like the idea of the two socially awkward ponies together. 

Sunixie (Sunburst X Trixie)

Since I didn’t have Starburst anymore, I wanted a different pony for Sunburst. I didn’t ship Trixie with anypony, though she did have a foal with Discord. I find this ship to be super cute and I think Sunburst and Trixie would make a great couple! 

That’s it! I do have stories for how all (most) of these ponies got together. Some more dramatic than others. I’ll have to draw some pictures for that soon XD
