Shipping name between Pinkie Pie and RD should be Sugar Rush.
>Not picking the obvious name ‘taste the rainbow’
Shipping doesn’t always have to be sexual though.
To many ships get sunk by it being purely an excuse for sex. There need to be more ships that are about the romance as well as the little things like person A waking up person B with a nerf gun.
I love working at joann fabrics today a guy asked me to show him the fake fur and when I did he goes “noooo… this won’t do” and part of my job is giving advice for projects so I asked him what he was using it for and he looks down at the floor and quietly says “… I wanna make a yeti costume to scare people with when we go skiing…”
show: *introduces smirking obnoxious boy in the first 5 minutes who will be her love interest*
me: well it was good while it lasted
Lemme guess. If it was a smirking obnoxious female, it would be okay?
no it would be awesome because then it’d be a lesbian story
What if there was a show with a cool female protagonist that had a different ‘possible love interest’ in every other scene so you end up actually wondering who she is going to get with and she isn’t getting with any of them and the whole point of the show is to fuck with you that way the whole film?
Here’s a story idea. Cool girl meets two boys. One is nerdy and has a huge crush on her and the other is indifferent. she meets awesome girl who ends up dating indifferent boy. Later awesome girl and indifferent boy break up and indifferent boy dates cool girl. Somewhere along the line, nerdy boy ends up dating a sweet girl they find and cool girl and indifferent boy have a fight and break up. Cool girl then goes through serious trauma and writes to awesome girl. They hang out more often and eventually get together so nerdy guy and sweet girl are a thing and cool girl and awesome girl go on a vacation to the spirit world while indifferent boy goes back to pro bending or whatever.
i’m not directing this to anyone specific but once upon a time i made a comment to an artist asking why all their characters backstories were so sad/painful/depressing/whatever to which they replied “because otherwise it wouldn’t be interesting :P ”. that was replied to by me immediately unfollowing them. i’m sure anyone who reads this will have a few certain artists on their minds, but i won’t name any names. i’m just saying that a character’s back story doesn’t need to be hellish in order for that character to be interesting.

That’s a pretty shallow reason to unfollow someone, just because they aren’t telling a story the way YOU want them to. Ever think maybe someone writes their characters that way because that just so happens to be their strength in writing?
People have different writing styles and preferences, and maybe someone prefers to write in the horror/tragedy genre for example.
You can’t just force a horror writer to suddenly write cute happy characters.
Yeah, a character can be interesting without having a shitty backstory, but that doesn’t mean people have to write every type of character to be a good story teller.
I think it’s targeted more for the people who are terrible at writing grimdark but still do because they think nobody would be interested otherwise. The blog they unfollowed probably wasn’t that good.
