rubs hands
Aaaaaand here I come once more with the wave of ship feels to make some random obligatory fanart for it... this time for EQG since I was getting the nostalgia bug at the same time, hehe lol =).

And thus, here's a batch of my personal current HC ships within the EQG-world of my "Universe A" (also known as "the Diamond-Verse"). A mix of ships that are either longterm OTPs of mine, and/or just pairs I think could be narratively interesting/creative to work with (-which prob explains why a good chunk of these are crackships lmao). Hope you enjoy, fellow EQG fans alike!~ ^{w^}

Ofc do keep note these are all just my personal ship opinions & such so -do-refrain from any unnecessary ship wars/complaints below if you disagree with anything here, thank you-🙏

-Sunset Shimmer x Flash Sentry-

From exes torn apart by greed & power, to slowly rekindling friendship thanks to Sunset's change of heart... never would either expect that things would fall back full-circle through them regaining feelings again~ :heart:

Was it a perfect transition? Probably not. Would there still be days of Sunset doubting herself, even with Flash's doting patience with her? Absolutely. Yet even so, as every phoenix burns bright... Sunset's happy to finally put her past behind her, embracing these changes everyday with Flash proud to cheer her on~ 💙❤️

-Sci Twi x Aria Blaze-

No one in their school would've ever expected the Dazzlings of all people to redeem themselves among a normal school faculty... yet the M6 proved them wrong as one by one, these once-pesky sirens have worked to become better beyond their hypnotic singing prowess.

With these two in particular, the purple second-in-commands seemed to be an interesting match of opposites; the cool-tempered punk and the giddy nerd. Whilst Aria may deny feeling much for Sci Twi when they're out and about... there's no denying the warm glow on her face whenever Twi does something like banter on about science facts, take her exploring the town, or even just the lil things like gifting her a plush that "reminds her of Aria" (aka: a sea-star lol). Silly, insignificant things the old Aria would've declared back then... but now, when it all comes down to it, she'll be glad to throw the biggest siren hands to keep this adorable dork safe & sound~ 💜

-Fluttershy x Adagio Dazzle-

To tackle redeeming the main leader of the Dazzlings was a task no better to give than to Fluttershy, the soft-spoken Element of Kindness herself. Of course, her dear friends were worried of how she'd handle being around someone so "conniving" like Adagio... but well, if her pony counterpart could handle bringing a Draconequus down-to-earth, then why not her human self with a siren baddie?~ ;)

And so, that's what leads us to today... as now the once haughty Adagio has gained a new sense of pride lovingly doting to her butterfly-winged angel. From fancy dinner dates, dancing, and occasionally playing with some duet karaoke... there's no prying apart these star-crossed sweeties~ 💛💗

-Applejack x Sonata Dusk-

With Aria & Adagio out of commission in terms of villainy, all that's left was Sonata Dusk... while arguably not a huge threat with her impulsive "simpleton" ways, there's still big a risk to let her roam about freely. And so, among the M6 to take the job of calming down this sneaky siren was none other than Applejack. I mean, the gal's handled plenty of pests with her natural-born firmness, this shouldn't be a problem...

...well, which is what she would've said, if it weren't for the revelation just how much of an annoying, perpetually-clingy cat Sonata can be when it comes to "bonding". Hmpf, well whats an AJ to do, if this pretty lil pest's not gonna be leaving her side anytime soon, now...? What to do, what to do, indeed...~ ;P

-Pinkie Pie x Rainbow Dash-

...Weeeell, ngl I don't really have a big story for this one, I just wanted an excuse to have RainbowPie (one of my first ever M6 ships) in my main HC verse somewhere whilst still having AppleDash within the pony world variant... yee lol :dummy:

Bubbly lil party girl with her headstrong tomboy gf, a true prankster power couple in Canterlot High one would say~ :giggle: To say any of the M6 were surprised when they announced they were dating would... well, okay no one actually was, they could spot those two's chemistry from a loooong mile away~ lmao

-Rarity x Timber Spruce-

Now, this one's perhaps the one pair no one expected to form in this colorful group... as Rarity figured with all her other bffs gaining partners of their own, she'll just have to go find her future beloved herself. Cue her going down an embarrassing list of blind dates, matchmaking events, even simply batting her eyes at some potential suitors at her tailor job only yielded so many results...

And so, Rarity resigned herself to take a break from the madness by visiting the museum's cafe section now & then... which just so happened to be Timber Spruce's favorite spot to hangout, coincidentally-enough. Though not expecting much aside from a brief hello & goodbye... something about their meetup just sparked the two to talk more, grab some coffees and exchange numbers after catching up on their lives. Cocky as he may be on the surface, there was something about Timber that had an odd, wholesome charm to him with his enthusiasm about gems, plants & silly puns... and Rarity has thought about sprucing up her workshop some more...

(Did this bring up any awkward feelings, given Timber Spruce's status as Twilight's ex? Oh certainly, as Rarity would ofc fret about that very night... but well, as she'd come to realize (from even Twi telling her face-to-face), her & Timber had long since moved on after amicably splitting so long ago. So really, as far as Twi sees it... as long as Rarity's happy, thats all that matters~ :huggle: )
