In your opinion, what makes FlutterDash "work"? I think that RD is just too ambitious and aggressive to make for a good romantic partner for someone as fragile as FS. She goes better with someone naturally tough, like Applejack or Twilight Sparkle.

I have an odd way of shipping.

Either there’s some overwhelming cute factor to it, or something a bit more logical and/or cheap. Or a bit of both.

FlutterDash definitely has a lot a cute potential in it. And really, I also can’t see them as true lovers in a relationship because of the stark personality differences.

But they really fit together as good friends. They have a great history of friendship and their personalities are nice complements with how Rainbow Dash encourages Flutters to see her true potential and how Flutters keeps Dashie in line with her brazenness.

Also, cuuuuute.

Of course, that isn’t my top ship. RariDash* and RumbleLoo are my tops ships for the really lame reason of “because I’m writing that into my blogs.”

*Here’s a dumb footnote. I only truly enjoy RariDash with a burning passion in context with Ponyville Diaries.
