Actual Statistical Shipping Chart!

Someone actually went through all the fics on here and created a chart showing how many stories each pair has been shipped in.

This is way more interesting than it should be.

Poor Rainbow Dash never gets a break!

>is writing an applejack/pinkie pie ship

Oh this'll be fun. To be criticized as the first to attempt the pair. Augh.

No spike x bigmac?

There's a Spike and Celestia one?

I MUST FIND THIS.

Anonymous said...

According to this Rainbow hasn't been with Trixie, spike and Rarity. I think Trixie could happen if you spin it right. Rainbow doesn't like being with Rarity as if it wasn't obvious from the one time she was put into a powdered wig.

PinkieDash, the backbone holding this fandom together.

locojom said...

wait... no spike/applejack? *le gasp*

Anonymous said...

I think we may need to rename Rainbow Dash to Town Bicycle.

Twinkletail said...

wait...if i'm understanding this chart correctly, there hasn't been a twilight/rarity ship? are you sure about that?

if so, then this one i'm working on is gonna be the first. i'm ok with this; pretty sure i was the first to ship applejack/fluttershy too ^_^

Naxts said...

The applejack and big mac ships are beginning to scare me.

And somebody shipped Trixie with herself... Twice?

no raritydash or spikedash or trixiedash? this is madness!

also trixie X trixie?

Twinkletail said...

oh nevermind, i missed the lines connecting the two on the first look. disregard.

sleepingcobrox said...

Is there a higher res one?

Clearly this chart shows that we need a Trixie/Derpy story as soon as possible

What story shipped Fluttershy and Derpy?

I noticed that there is no line connecting Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

Didn't Everyone Loves Dash establish a line between them?

Ciroton said...

I demand a Pinkie/Celestia or Pinkie/Luna.

Also, Spike needs more love. ;_;

Wait, someone shipped Trixie with ...herself...? I fucking lol'd..
But part of me wants to see that ship. Where is it?!

Goombella said...

I wish there were a lot more lines connecting Fluttershy and Luna. My favorite pairing, and there's still only the one story. At least there is the one, though.

someone needs to count comics too [like http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/comic-trollestia-strikes-back.html#comments for example :3]

I would also like to know what fic shipping Applejack and Celestia O_O

FasterThenRainbows said...

That's a lot of magic going on...

Anonymous said...

Wait, so how does this diagram work again? If there are more than 10 lines connecting the same set of characters, Hasbro is going to make that ship cannon in Season 2, right? :P

Other notes:
1. Rainbow Dash... just wow. You're just giving it away now aren't you? What, do you just hover above a street corner in downtown Ponyville?
2. Big Mac. Seriously bronie, you have no game. NONE. All your ships are cuz you are the only male pony on that diagram. Wut? Come at me bronie!
3. Trixie. Shipped with herself... twice? What... I don't even... By magic? Somebody please re-post the link to these stories! My curiosity is killing me!
4. Luna. Why isn't Luna getting more pony love? Sad Luna is a sad pony. :(

9Nine9 said...

>MFW someone didn't count Reconnection, which puts Rainbow Dash and Spike together.

Rarity = I'll make Rainbow Dash a wonderbolt costume so she'll love me.

Trixie = What there is someone who doesn't love the great and powerful Trixie well I'll show her... runs up and kisses Rainbow Dash.

Anonymous said...

...also, why isn't Bloomberg on this chart!

Rainbow Derpy said...

I think you are missing a Twilight / Twilight ship. I don't know if it would count though because it was her human counterpart, but its still herself theoretically...

Anonymous said...

The sheer density of Pinkie/Dash connections will soon be enough to distort the fabric of space-time.

Hayquill said...

Clearly we need someone to write Spike x Derpy.

Anonymous said...

You know what, I thought the diagram must be wrong for a second after counting the actual number of lines between Pinkie and Dash... but then I realized that the lines must just have started overlapping one another. :P

Fon Shaolin said...

I could have sworn there was more AppleDash than Pinkie/Dash. Darn it, I need to step up the propaganda campaign...

Adrian Brony said...

>make SpikexCelestia, a shipping fic so purely batshit insane that it somehow stands out on the chart.

>see people notice in the comments

I just love it when people react to that. Everybody asking, it's one of my fics, "a simple affair"

it isn't as crack-pairing as it first sounds...

Wolf Nanaki said...

@Naxts I shipped Trixie with herself once, don't know who did the other one though.

Also Trixie got shipped with Big Macintosh? Twice?

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous

Dash and Rarity have lots of differences but they ARE close friends.

Someone fix this problem now WRITE A DASH X RARITY FIC! DASH MUST BE SHIPPED WITH EVERYPONY.

Brian said...

Are there no fics pairing Twilight with Pinkie Pie? :(

It's pretty cute.

Auta Mane said...

@Anonymous If it's what I think it is, it was a fic written for Valentine's Day, where Twilight and Spike went to Canterlot for dinner with Celestia as a family. Twilight left the room to get the carrage ready, and that's when the shipping started, though it was very clean, only being quick kissing and implying history. I have no clue what it's called at this time, though.

It's called 'Simple Affair'.

Anonymous said...

*vain attempt to keep sanity* Heh, it's funny that there's a graphical error that indicates many people have shipped Big Mac and Applejack together.

Gilda should be on the chart.

she's been shipped with quite a few characters.

Dashy proves that pimping can be easy.

Wait, when were Mac and Luna shipped together?

Also, I see a distinct lack of Mac/Derpy shipping. This needs to change.

Homfrog said...

We need tags that conform to the shipping parameters.

Nopony Important said...

Flutter/Dash is surprisingly popular. I can't tell how popular exactly, because at least one of the lines is at an odd angle and crosses over several others. But I think it's at least nine, which puts it unexpectedly close to Apple/Dash and Dashie/Pie.

Dashie definitely takes the lead as Ponyville's prime playa, but Twilight and Fluttershy are really fighting over second place according to this.

Why no Apple/Pie? The pun alone from that should make that obvious, but there's no Pinkie/Mac either, so maybe she's just too random for the Apple family. And how are there FOUR Pinkie/Shy fics? I need to find those now(I'm only aware of one that was recently updated). Somehow I thought there might be at least one Derpy/Pie, but apparently it's yet to be written.

There's also the ommision of Twilight/Spike here, I know that's happened at least once(IIRC, it was one of the early fics, the one with Pinkie getting Dash pregnant. Again).

Am I really the only one that ships this?

Anonymous said...

I am honestly surprised we haven't had Rarity/Luna yet.
Rarity is so interested in Canterlot & the royal family, and fanon Luna could benefit from some attention from somepony detail-oriented with a lot of empathy. I don't know if I could see Luna enjoying being the center of a makeover plot, but Rarity… would enjoy the opportunity.

Anonymous said...

@Ebon Mane

That's one of my favorites too, actually. I wish it was written more often.

venbrou said...

@Anonymous So far, Pinkie/Dash is the only one that surpasses 10.
Answer to other notes.
1. Her entire HOUSE hovers over a street corner...
2.I totally agree.
3. I believe at least one of those involved a mirror.
4. The number of lines connecting her to her own sister disturbs me...

Someone needs to write an Applejack/Luna ship

Ebon Mane said...

@Anonymous

Way ahead of you.

Merely A Mare is going to be an Applejack/Luna ship. The prologue is done, and I'm steadily working on the chapters. I'm going to submit the prologue and the first two chapters to ED when I'm done with chapter 1 (chapter 2 is already done. Chronological derp.)

Purple Tinker said...

Raw data... I demand RAW DATA! Can the creator of this post an Excel sheet or (better still) a Google Docs spreadsheet? :)

5t3v0 said...

TBH I think that Pinkiedash is over done. Also, I used to have issues with it (partially family reminder related. though not so much since I saw Pinkie Pie as another person in one of Megasweets Pictures... that made me more tolerant) but I still think its an overdone concept.

Now Pinkieshy or Flutterdash. Now thats Dawww.

There us not one spikextwilight story?

Realy??? How???

nova_25 said...

Hum... No RD-Rarity shipping ?

Spike-Celestia... wait what ?

Applejack x Celestia? Where's that?

Anonymous said...

@MyLittleBrony Did Sethisto say it was for that content? Because it seems to me that the uneven writing might (also) have been a factor.

Even as a silly/random fic, the characterization and narrative tone make it a little challenging to enjoy.

nova_25 said...

@Anonymous
Yes, yes you are. RD-Pinky is one of the most 'liked' out there.

The chart need the DJ P0N-3 and RD.

Still don't know where are those Celestia-Luna stories ?

@Anonymous
I wasn't very surprised when it didn't make it since I wasn't even serious or anything. I was surprised that he explicitly told me it was for just that reason, though.

I'm kinda sad that I can only find 4 Mac/Twilight ships, and the majority of them are quite depressing. Very well-written, but it would be nice if reading them didn't fill me with sadness haha.

Those Twilight/Dash lines are deceiving. Most of them are harem situations or love triangles. And I think that maybe TWO of the stories that involve only them have a happy ending.

Seriously, TwiDash really needs some love. :\

No, I hate the pairing too.
And it doesn't help most of the fanart and fanfiction of it is incredibly OOC or sound like it's written by the equivalent of 13 year old Narutard fangirls.

Anonymous said...

I think Rainbow Dash/Big Mac has been my favorite of these. The things people come up with are infinitely amusing (and occasionally disturbing), but at the end of the day I guess I'm really not all that much of a shipper. Right now, anyway.

But don't let that stop anypony from shippin' 'til every last possible ship is shipped! xD

ickusdurandal said...

Rainbow Dash sure is compatible with her friends, eh?

OH DEAR GOD, WHAT IS THIS.
Celestia and Luna? Big Mac and Applejack? INCEST, DEAR GOD. D:
And Spike x Celestia? Oh god, pedofilly.

DooDawDay said...

So, when do we get an archive filter based on the updated shipping chart. Wouldn't that, or something similar, make looking for all these stories waaaaaaaaaaay easier?

Nopony rests untill Dash has clopped with everything!

Anonymous said...

Maybe I'll go through Fanfiction, the story archives here, and through the clopfic stories to make a graph of the shippings and the stories which they were involved in (excluding clopfics).

Maybe I won't.
If I do, it will be one huge-flank graph.

When I said "and the stories which they were involved in (excluding clopfics)." I meant the names of the stories, excluding clopfics.

@rob

My thoughts exactly

Also, Trixie x Trixie is totally Great and Powerfully canon

George DesRoches said...

According to this chart, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle are whores, and Trixie is more self absorbed than one could begin to imagine.

to be honest, i kinda wanna find that trixie fic...<.<

While it lacks many a character and is likely outdated by now due to more fanfic coming out in the intervening time, I have a few comments.

Apple/Mac? Cel/Luna? GAH

Spikity needs more love. (C'mon, floks, it's prolly the most canon out of all of them!)
There's never too much Dashie/Pie!
And where's the Doctor/Derpy love?

Anonymous said...

To be honest, most of this chart doesn't surprise me. But the fact that there is so little Twilight x Luna makes me rather sad. After all, it is my favorite pairing, followed by Twilight x Trixie. But one thing that I would love to see, even it would never happen is Celestia x Ditzy. For some reason, I want to see how that would happen

I'll agree that seeing the idea of a Celestia/Luna or Applejack/Big Macintosh pairing is a little ... squicky.

I don't know how to feel about Celestia/Twilight, either, and that'd extend to Twilight/Spike if it ever came up.

And for Celestia's sake don't mention others who 'need' one. I found this chart because someone cited it as their inspiration for a Twist/Gummie pairing. And if it weren't for the other ideas I had in mind, I'd probably now be considering Angel/Gummie.

This chart was made over four months ago, people. Of course there have been ships since then that aren't on here. For example, there's now a fanfic that ships Rainbow Dash with herself. TWO of herself.

we also need Luna and Pinkie Pie. We could call the pairing "Moon Pie"! eh? eh?

Jolttix said...

Proven. Rainbow Dash best pony. She must be really tired of this too.

I'm honestly scared of shipping anything, but I might try something like RariDash after I get out some popular stuff. Eep! The very concept is extremely delicate and horrifying.

Just because it isn't shown on the chart doesn't mean it has never been done before, I'm pretty sure all possibilities have been shipped before, it's just that there are so few compared to other ships that it is not worth showing them. Also, more LunaShy is needed. :)
