I like Fluttershy on the basis that she flies -- I enjoy things that fly. I really love her relationship with Rainbow Dash, though; I can kind of see myself in her position with some of my friends...I can also see myself being Rainbow Dash in certain situations (I'm opinionated, loud, outgoing), so their interactions are making me ponder some of how I treat people.
I will say this: I have some weird issues with the fandom for FiM. People are like "YAY DOCTOR WHOOVES" and I'm like "dude, his name is Time Turner." That may just be me not giving a rat's ass about Doctor Who, though.
There are other fanon things that are weirding me out...Like the people who ship Derpy and Time Turner because they're standing together for five seconds in the Hearts and Hooves Day episode. Or because they both have "Hooves" as part of their name (EVEN THOUGH TIME TURNER DOESN'T). And there is a bizarre amount of people who have decided that Derpy is Dinky Doo's mother, since Derpy was once going to be named "Ditzy Doo" and they have a similar color scheme -- When Dinky Doo shows up with other adult ponies and never with Derpy!
I was glad, however, to discover that the fandom is somewhat partial to my ship -- I LOVE the idea of Applejack and Rainbow Dash as a couple. I've been unimpressed by the fanfic so far, but I was happy other people ship it too, since I have a fic in the works X3
