I absolutely adore these two and their friendship (I love unlikely/odd/ friendships far too much for my own good). Seriously, their friendship is my favorite in all of MLP.
But if you ship them that’s just fine (I honestly don’t care what you ship, being mean to someone over fictional character’s love lives is ridiculous) I admit that I can kind of ship them at times, especially when I see cute fan art of them. I just prefer their relationship staying platonic.
While I do ship things and have OTPs, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a strong, close friendship. Just two people that care and love each other in a way that’s not romantic. You don’t have to be related to someone for them to be like family and I adore friends that become family to each other. Friendships often seem to be overlooked to romance in fandoms, (I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with romance, I can really enjoy a good gradual romance, just that it’d be nice for platonic relationships to get more attention) which is a shame.
So anyway, I love Fluttershy and Discord being super close, adorable best friends that are comfortable with each other.
draws some amazing art with them and portrays their friendship wonderfully in her fanfic Chaotic Netrual. She definitely inspired me to draw Fluttershy and Discord. She’s one of my favorite MLP artists here on DA so you should definitely take a look at her art if you already haven’t. ^^
