I am, actually. I mean, I was before but I still am. I thought that the point of shipping (and fanfiction in general) was to explore some ideas that are not touched upon in the main series. To even get the urge to expand on something, somebody would have to see something which interests him or her. And I just don't get why Big M here compels people. Vinyl Scratch appears for literally less than 10 seconds, but her design is so unique and outstanding that I could see somebody going "Well this is cool, I want to write something about this pony". With AJ's brother, it seems more like "Well, I really want to write a shipping fanfic with Luna, but I don't know who to ship her with... ah fuck it, it's not like I know any male ponies except for Big Macintosh." And if you wanted to use a characer precisely because he has so little actual personality, you might as well use an OC. |
