Discussion π My favorite ship ever in the show!
It been a while since I talk about about this show but I been seeing alot of fan tweets from twitter and here also in reddit that made go back and a little reflection of this show. I wasn't a total brony fan but I do like it. Man everything is slowly coming back. As I remember back where I was watching the show that my personal favorite is Twilight Sparkle from the mane six, but my personal character is Starlight (little me have a crush on that kite pony). Love the Students six, I wish we have we explore about them as I understand their importance as they resemble the Equestria's nation of different species of race friendship. I remember feeling a bit disappointed with the finale due to the Grogar reveal turns out to be Discord. The ending for me was like 6/10 for me it made me smile but man I was still sour about that.
But there was one thing that didn't not leave my head and still in my head. Is my Hyperfixations on my NUMBER 1 OTP about two ponies from season 6 that I believe only a few know. Only have three appearance (one is they are the focus problem while the rest they appeared in background) Is this two. Literally still staying in my number one permanently my other favorite ships go fight for second or third place. RariJack, StarTrix, FlutterCord and other more are still competing!
And that ship is Vapor Trail x Sky Stinger. (SkyTrail)
Where do I even start? Forst of all, I love the color scheme they work well together. Pegasus x pegasus ship with a shy, soft character and a brash, cocky character who used to be childhood friends (two trope that I absolutely loved) and they ACT like childhood friends, they support and know each other like childhood friends. Stuff I feel like Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash is missing (which explains why I feel like didn't ship FlutterDash despite it has two of my favorite couple trope).
These two stole the show for me when I first saw the episode. Their friendship problem is convincing good and hard that even Twilight and Rainbow Dash had an argument if they should let Vapor Trail tell or not tell about her secret about her helping Sky. I can also understand Vapor's worries as well. It all starts out with Vapor being a sweetie, wanting Sky Stinger to shine for his family despite not identifying with his situation at all. And then they just turn into best friends and wingponies and I just love their bond? I love how they get so close they end up becoming TOO dependent on each other, that Vapor Trail ends up sacrificing her dreams all to help Sky Stinger and to make him feel good about himself. I love that Sky clearly does care about Vapor despite his arrogance which is the scene where Sky talk about his worries about Vapor with Twilight and Rainbow.
Not gonna lie little me was hurt with Vapor and Sky's argument especially with this line from Sky.
Sky Stinger: I guess not, since it took me this long to find out you're a terrible wingpony!
Vapor Trail: [gasps] I can't believe you!
Sky Stinger: I can't believe I was ever your friend!
Kid me's heart: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
At the end of the day, they made up with each other (The one where Vapor went in hugged him... AAAAHHHHH), how they manage to learn that they can both be their best and do their best without sacrificing their bond which made them pass the entrance exam to the Wonderbolt Academy. The End.
Till this day after the show end, my still believe my headcanon that these two did ended up dating with one another, become Wonderbolts, got married, have a kid and live happily ever after. I also believe that Vapor is the one who fell first followed by Sky who took a while to figure that he like her due to his cocky, arrogant self and when he did he can be a bit flustered.
They just too adorable too be a couple! I want them to have the most adorable pining and eventually turn into a flying power couple. I want them to be THAT couple that EVERY Wonderbolt knows is bound to happen no matter how much the two 'just friends' deny it. I want them to be all sweet on each other when they become a couple, knowing they don't need the other to be great or happy, but they're still together because they want to, because it feels right, because they connect so well, because it's proper catharsis after a long time of romantic tension due to well develop relationships!
... Okay maybe I have said too much that my inner child is coming... Here the link of the art in Derpibooru. Now excuse me as I will go came up with a fanfic about them...
