Top Ships in My Little Pony

Shipping, you either love it, or hate it. I belong to the first group, and consider myself one of the shipping masters, thats why I have devised this list of some of my favourite ships and I hope y'all enjoy^^
It also includes some of my principals in shipping which should be standard imo.

Shipping is an Art, it can not be rushed

[@todd_the_odd]

agreed

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

Also, if there is any confirmation that Fluttercord is canon, it's Angel Bunny. After Fluttershy and Angel switch bodies in She Talks to Angel, Angel, as Fluttershy says, "I talk to animals, I wanna marry Discord..."

[@doc_anubis]

He potentially could just ship it himself, but my opinion remains that it was implied in the last problem

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

But didn't the show runners say that was just Angel teasing? Although, that begs the question of how he knows Fluttershy has a bond with Discord to be made fun of.

[@tygical]

ok but angel would be a huge troll so i wouldn't be shocked if he was trolling

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

@@tygical Still, how would he know enough to joke about that?

[@tygical]

@@JCBro-yg8vd because fluttershy qnd discord are good friends so he said it for the funny

[@tmnttfplover2012]

Ah god i adore fluttercord its so pure🤧

[@doc_anubis]

That just works so well, even if its best friends to lovers^^

[@beastmaster9731]

Fun fact in the Christmas special during season 9 you can see in the back ground marble crying seeing BM and SB under the mistletoe, or mistlehoof

[@doc_anubis]

The special isn't directly part of season 9, but yeah, this scene makes it canon that she had a crush on Big Mac, and I still think she would have been a better fit for him, Marble deserves all the best

[@howlinghollow8893]

The most likely way I could see zipp getting more involved with sparky is teaching him to fly I mean he's going to become more conscious of those wings sooner or later and I imagine hitch after trying to stop him after he almost gets hurt will ask zipp or she'll offer to teach him

[@doc_anubis]

Another possibility of getting Hitch and Zipp closer together that I could see happening, nice

[@RenzoXD2069]

Also, I guess that Starlight and Sunburst finally get married together in the last episode of G4 for sure (despite of not showing as official in the series). After all of the events for them, hope they ship could finally worked. 👍

[@doc_anubis]

It definitely could work out, thats why the headcanon of Luster Dawn being their daughter exists

[@RenzoXD2069]

@@doc_anubis sure, maybe we can see Luster in some moment of the G5 series too.

[@doc_anubis]

I wouldnt expect it, but it would be nice

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Shipping is one of my all time favorite things about this fandom! and pretty much almost every ship you listed in this video are some of my all time favorite ships Doc! especially FlutterCord, SugarMac,LyraBon,AppleDash and Spabby in fact pretty much for the exact same reasons as you do Doc i also ship Spike and Gabby both because they are minors and because Gabby has way more in common with Spike than Rarity ever did.

[@doc_anubis]

I know right, Im so happy they gave Spike Gabby in the end

[@RenzoXD2069]

Yeah, I forgot the many ships Big Mac had during the series (on TV or comics) but I really enjoy more his ship with Marble Pie too (they had same attitudes and feelings, despite of only in one episode as a couple).

[@doc_anubis]

True, if he didnt have a canon wife, my main ship for him would be Marble Pie

[@RenzoXD2069]

@@pemanilnoob Yeah, but we never knew any real proofs that both are familiar after all.. only we know is both families (Apple and Pie) got along well in the end.

[@RenzoXD2069]

Also I reallly enjoyed that special comic between the ship of CelestiaxSombra, one of the best of the G4 comics. Well, at least an animation of them together as a couple ("Life is a Breeze") I found in KZbin really fits well what will be possible for them as a couple at the end. 👍👍

[@doc_anubis]

Eyup, the tragic romance us great, I released the comic overview of thise issues a few weeks back and have a video planned praising that storyline like I did back with the Nightmare Rarity story

[@071alec]

1:14 i just realized that out of context zipp looks with jealousy at sparky

[@doc_anubis]

I said it, it is canon now

[@8nicopink868]

Spike and Gabby deserves so much more attention. The ship I didn't know I want, but when I got it, I wanted it like chocolate!!

[@doc_anubis]

Too much then I assume lol

[@8nicopink868]

@@doc_anubis Yes, admittedly 😂The pair up was so ingenious. They have so much in common! They quickly became one of my favorite ships in MLP 😁

[@Gottobun_Kimetsu5172]

Lyra HeartStrings and Bonbon are the most beautiful couple in the entire series Cadence and Shining Armor are also extremely entertaining brides and grooms, if you take the entire series into account But hey, I'm talking to you about Lyra and her personality development which is truly incredible and touching. Even if Bonbon reveals herself as a secret agent to carry out missions on Tartaros, it is to protect her dear and tender friend

[@IllusionMaster17]

Ahh shipping. I love ships and the art of shipping, and more when they become canon. Everyone has their favorite ships, one way or another. From G5, HitchxZipp is my co-top favorite ship, just along with HitchxSunny (childhood friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes), also I love IzzyxSprout despite they haven't interacted besides the videogame, but they look sweet together. From G4, my favorites ever are SpikexGabby because Spike finally has someone to share a lot and be himself with a cheery and enthusiastic girl like Gabby; and StarBurst because they are so perfect, and I'm fully convinced that Luster Dawn is their daughter. Close to it is Fluttercord, they must be confirmed no matter what! And I still like FlashLight, it had potential.

[@doc_anubis]

Not a fan of Flashlight, but I love most of the others you said, especially StarBurst for mentioned reasons

[@dragon321ergaming3]

Who do you ship Muffin or Derpy with? I think Derpy was renamed to Muffin.

[@doc_anubis]

She is called Muffin officially, but Derpy by he fandom, but my ship for her is Doc Whooves, especially because of slice of life and their connection in the manga

[@dragon321ergaming3]

@@doc_anubis I ship her with him too.

[@zillycat8534]

Always remember, the real cringe are people trying to stop people from living their lives peacefully For many years I was petrified of shipping publicly because of shame, but people- or ponies- like you, help create confidence in people who are afraid to love the things they love Also you got some cute ships, Fluttercord is a personal favorite, plus there are so many writing ops for characters so different to each other

[@doc_anubis]

Im glad to help build your confidence, this fandom helped myself to get more extroverted, so Im glad I can do a similar thing for you^^

[@dylanhentch9719]

I personally ship Starlight with Sunburst and Trixie and Maud and Mudbriar. I get big polyamory vibes from that group.

[@doc_anubis]

I think I could see it... IF TRIXIE WASN'T MINE, jk

[@WhirlwindDrums]

Valentines day came early haha. I like shipping to an extent

[@doc_anubis]

I couldnt wait till Valentimes Day for this, and to an extent is fine, mine is to an extent too since I follow the principles discussed on the video

[@batterbee]

I love starburst so much FNKJNFDKSNKFJNAKJNDFJKNSDKJFNJ 👌👌👌👌

[@071alec]

starburst ship name has to used because sunlight may be promt to confusion

[@doc_anubis]

Aaaaaaaand, StarBurst sounds cooler

[@thaddeusr.3967]

Shipping can be interesting. It might be interesting to see some of these used in the series.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

the cutie mark crusaders got both big mac and cheerlie together but i love fluttercord.

[@doc_anubis]

The CMC tried, but it didnt work out in the end

[@viviennemorgan7217]

@@doc_anubis yeah you're right about that.

[@velipamrainbow]

I agree with most of these ships, but you forgot one main one, twi-flash. Also, it would be interesting to see you find ships for the CMCs. Btw, first 😀.

[@doc_anubis]

I have shops for some of the CMC, and I definitely do not like Twi-Flash, I have better ones in store gor Twily

[@velipamrainbow]

@@doc_anubis Yeah I am not a big fan of Twi-flash either, just wanted to see what others think...😅

[@doc_anubis]

Good that we can agree on that, and it gave me an interesting video idea, just letting my viewers give me ships, and I rank them, could be interesting

[@AmicaSecret]

I agree that Pony twi and pony flash cant be a couple

[@rowanrawlz1871]

Kinda annoyed that the ending of the show they went "Implied", because the story of the episode simply doesnt work if appledash isnt canon lol. Esp since all supporting media supports appledash, its kinda dumb how its considered not canon (but pinkiecheese is?) double standards imo

[@doc_anubis]

The implication there makes it canon for me, they just didn't wanna state it directly for... reasons

[@rowanrawlz1871]

@@doc_anubis Yeah peoples obsession with something needing to be "ultra canon" is annoying

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Isn't Gabby an adult too? She has to be older than Gallus, who attends the School of Friendship. So isn't GabbyxSpike also illegal? Plus, with Spike, it's not exactly clear how old he really is. Is he a "baby" in pony years or in dragon years? If the latter, is it because dragons live so much longer than ponies? Supposedly, Spike is a child, but as far as we know he never attends any kind of school either while in Canterlot or in Ponyville.

[@gamerninjask6746]

Who do you ship Derpy with?

[@doc_anubis]

I told someone else earlier, I ship her with Doctor Whooves, mostly because of Slice of Life and their interactions and connection in the Manga

My top 10 favorite MLP ships: 1. Fluttershy and Discord: Fluttercord 2. Applejack and Rainbow Dash: Appledash 3. Spike and Gabby: Spibby 4.Applebloom and Tender Taps: Appletaps 5. Big Mac and Sugar Belle: Big Sugar 6. Bright Mac and Pear Butter(Buttercup): Buttermac 7. Lyra and Bon Bon: Lyrabon 8. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich: Cheesepie. 9. Zipp and Hitch: Zitch 10. Rarity and Capper: Capperity If you agree that all of these ships are or should be canon, please let me know. Love is in the air.

[@lorelaimorace-kk1xz]

CAPPER i am more of a rarijack or applety shipper but those two are also great also i haven't seen anything past season 7 so i don't know all these characters lyrabon is art

[@thomashanson9173]

I actually am wondering. Has Sunny and Izzy even had a major interaction in TYT or MYM. I don't remember them even talking to each other. Am I missing some post ANG moments?

[@doc_anubis]

They don't really have much shipping material after the movie, except for the newest TYT episode and maybe the comics

so who do you ship with Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie?

[@doc_anubis]

Twilight, the pony one, gets Sunset, Pinkie obviously has Cheese Sandwich and Rarity in EqG gets AJ, for Pony Rarity it seems like she has no lover at the end of the show, so my take is that she has realized that she doesn't need a stallion to be happy

[@thomashanson9173]

You ship Sunny with anypony?

[@doc_anubis]

Indeed I do, Sunny is shipped with Izzy, mostly because of the ANG movie, Sunny just needs to learn to compromise a little and Izzy needs to get more assertive in that department

[@generalbiscuits2490]

Be honest it should have been rarijack of the finale because there was so much hints towards it. I'm also very annoyed appledash "Canon" mostly because of Rainbow Dash.

[@doc_anubis]

I actually prefer AppleDash for the main show, it brings variety, cause EqG then has even stronger RariJack implications, this way, we have different ships for the different universes
