MLP Shipping is boring

I'm gonna say it. While I acknowledge that there are plenty of great ship art and fics I appreciate, you really have to put in a lot of legwork to make any of them interesting. Like, even with the best fan ships I have to squint at it to see anything beyond a friendship, and the canon ships aren't much better. I don't like shining armor, sugarmac is stale, LyraBon is cute sometimes, don't really care about appledash.

If you like it, that's great! More power to you. I just don't feel like any of the characters are really suitable for romance stuff.
