Ships? I prefer Boats!

[Sentimental Gentleman]

Well, there's always plenty of Appledash to go around. Maybe I'm funny, but I really don't mind it, and I'd even say I'd enjoy much of the Appledash material out there, though I usually don't actively seek it out; in a world without selfishness or jealousy or emotional hangups, as I imagine Equestria to be, I see no reason why a friendship as close as theirs shouldn't be basically the equivalent of a romantic relationship in our world.
