I thought Flash got so much heat because people were mad their ‘waifu’ was being taken. The ‘he’s bland and uninteresting’ arguement doesn’t really hold considering there’s been blander characters which people don’t want to kill.

Got another of “artistic crisis” days where I feel my art is not that good…  
You know I draw ponies in the style of the show.  
But whenever I see someone else’s artwork done in the same show style (both SFW and X-rated) here, on DA or Twitter, I feel they just did a better job than me…

I was building on from your response to why people aren’t mad about him because  
He was a loser.
 
Maybe people find Sunburst more relatable and he hasn’t quite made a move on their not as popular ‘waifu’?

Sunburst was also set up in advance as a clear romantic interest and being integral to Starlights characters development. He didn’t just show up out of nowhere to sweep starlight off her feet.
 
I don’t hate flash. It makes sense for a teenager to crush on a handsome guitarist who’s also a nice guy. But it would have worked out better for us the viewers, if we spent more time with flash’s character before he immediately became a romantic interest for the main character.

I’m indifferent to him personally. I’m interested in what creative things that can be done with him besides being tied to Twilight.
 
Also today was pretty gloomy.Usually I’m glad about having time to sleep and laze but knowing that I have to find some kind of money gaining profession for the next 3 months is really killing me.

Oof. I’m not gonna pretend to know your struggle since I’m not playing the same “show accurate” game, but imma tell you that even if there are better guys than you, it don’t mean you aren’t good. you is pretty goddamn good.
 
Sometimes there are just those Nadal Jordan Mayweather McNurmagomedov types out there that are just…superhuman and I personally find it just discouraging trying to compare myself to them.

Because he’s a loser.
Bro? Are we looking at the same Sunburst here? The chaddest of all chads?  
Dude is the closest to being Twilight’s actual boyfriend by far. He’s got far more in common with Twilight than he does with his love interest and he’s seen with Twilight many times. If you’re just going by screentime alone.
 
Flash Sentry being a shy dork and Twilight falls for her; RIOT.  
Sunburst being an alpha stallion and regularly enters Twilight’s personal space? I sleep
 
Are we just cucks here? Are we simping when Twi is with Sunburst because we scared of Sunburst’s massive stallion balls?
 
It doesn’t matter if Sunburst’s primary love interest is Starlight. What if he needs some secondary wife. He can’t just like, ASK Starlight to dress up like Twilight and–

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I can ship him with Twilight when I’m not shipping him with Moondancer, I’m not saying he’s unshippable.
 
I’m just saying he’s a loser. Like Twilight.

I think Sunburst & Starlight are just friends in canon, there’s no real romantic implications between them, besides maybe the finale teasing it, but like the other ‘ship teases it had, it’s up to the viewer to interpret however they want.
 
Though, I guess “CheesePie” was a li’l blatant with Pinkie having a child in the future named “Li’l Cheese.”

@WyrmSpawN  
I see.
 
Still my nagging issue is this:  
Sunburst is blatantly someone’s love interest. That’s why he was first introduced, and that’s how he is portrayed throughout the series.  
Flash is the same, really. He’s someone’s love interest. Twi or Sunset or someone else’s.
 
So how come Sunburst didn’t get his house looted and burned when he did things like this?  
 

 
Is Sunburst the perfect self-insert OC? Did the writers somehow mange to write a male ponysona that represents the viewers? Very smart.

If study after study conclusively supports that you are wrong, it is time to accept the fact that you are very likely wrong.

The staff know exactly how much this fandom likes shipping. They knew they didn’t have to make the romance obvious when they knew we would do all the work.
 
Sunburst was created for Starlight. They wanted this new character to be popular and talked about so on top of her being a super powerful reformed villain with a “sad” backstory, they gave her a potential love interest straight outta the gate for us to talk about between season 5 and 6.
 
I’m not knocking it. They set Sunburst up in advance and he’s actually a well rounded character in his own right who can carry an episode without starlight.
 
But he’s clearly the Ken to Starlights Barbie.

I dunno, they never really seemed like lovers to me in-canon, and they’re never refered to as such, so I think that’s mostly fanon.
 
Meanwhile, on the opposite end when “Big Mac X Sugar Belle” was canonized, it pissed off many CheeriMac, and FlutterMac ‘shippers. So maybe canonizing pairings doesn’t always work.  
Honestly I have nothing against them personally, and I kinda understand why they created a new ’ship, instead of using a fanon one.
 
Heck, some fans complain enough already about the show “catering to older fans/bronies” as it is.

Sunburst & Starlight are just friends in canon
The romantic implication is about as clear as the homosexual undertones in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Which is to say…it exists. They have been denying the gay subtext for more than a decade and only recently are able to say “yes. yes it was gay” because you simply couldn’t (still can’t to some degree) have a relatable gay protag unless you want the world coming down on you.
 
Okay. In Nightmare 2, MC is canonically not gay. But the gay subtext is now finally very much confirmed. I’m wondering if DHX will confirm the romantic subtext of Starlight x Sunburst even IF they’re canonically just friends. I mean c’mon. You can’t ignore it. All the tropes are there.
 
look we got an entire jealousy episode for Starlight, with all the appropriate tropes. It wouldn’t even be out of place in a rom-com.
 
DHX please just give us closure.
 
Oh, and apart from Fluttermac anc Cheerimac shippers, there is another who REALLY got hurt by SugarMac.  
 
this scene actually, physically hurt me. made me cringe and buckle.
