Not only that, but as someone else pointed it out to me specifically, the position here is heavily reminiscent to that of Korra and Asami in the ending of Legend of Korra, as they were confirmed a couple.

Suffice to say, I know Hasbro probably can’t have them kiss on screen or tell each other “I love you” without getting more backlash than they’re willing to deal with at this point, but between all this, and all the blushing and meaningful looks shared in this episode…
 
>>1774500p (merged) >>1774642p (merged) >>1774643p (merged)
 
…then at this point, if you’re still gonna claim they are just friends, you’re just in denial about the obvious fact that Hasbro is trying to present them as a couple as much as they can get away with without making it explicit.
 
Long live Rarijack, and thank Hasbro and DHX for this amazing special!

The facial expressions and body language speak louder then any dialogue ever could. sadly most people ignore body language and don’t get the whole picture These two are just as canon as Twi & Timber at this point. But they aren’t Steven Universe sadly so will never have the freedom to openly say it vocally. Thus all the visual ques.

PRO GAMER - I am so lonely. All the other gamers are scared of me. No one DMs me. No one friends me. They think I am unstable. They send me from match to match, wiping lobbies in their name. And as I rank up they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own ELO. "Pro Gamer". I don't even get a real nick. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some sessions I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point. Not a single person in the entire ladder would care. Take it to your grave.

Make Nick Confalone aware that this ship is liked and maybe he will write it into FiM in S9 or G5.

The shippers are bad. The “anti-shippers” are becoming worse. It’s to the point where I’d rather see “character x character forever!” than “Well actually, let me tell you why you are wrong and why your comment is a disease. After all, I NEED you to know to take this show seriously, especially when it’s about ships.”
 
Heh, thank you.

AFter watching the episode, i can see that animation team wanted to “canonise” it as Korrasami. But form the narrative, it isn’t even as teased as discoshy, where a third party would point this out. And whole episode was more about frinedship crisis than romantic interest.

guys. “Best friends” is code for “Obvious cartoon lesbians and we’ll let it slide but let’s not get too carried away just in case.”
 
It’s what they said for Lyra and Bonbon too.

This comments section is why everyone hates shippers. Garbage humans, all of them.
@Background Pony #B950  
The blushing and the positions of their heads and arms do form quite a suggestive scene… that could easily be a coincidence. People also forget that hearts are strewn all over the series with no intended romantic connotations.

Honestly this is why to try hard to get try and convince people your ship is real.
 
“you’re just in denial about the obvious fact that Hasbro is trying to present them as a couple”
 
Seriously just put down the shipping war boner you have.
 
Hell this isn’t the first blush between two main leads in eqg; look at Sci-Twi and Sunset at the end of Everfree they were blushing and Sci-Twi and timber are still cannon even though all the SciShimmer fans go about like it ain’t.
