How would you make a more likable love interest for Twilight?

>>26755400
One that shares her interests in science or learning or magic

>>26755400
Someone that is like her, but not exactly like her.
So, for example, a bookworm which in turn has a flair for adventure and can be led by instinct.

i would use flash. he would be similar in many ways to shining, and she would develop a crush over time. she would then realize that these feelings come from a deep seated desire to have a more personal relationship with her brother, which would confuse and scare her. eventually she would give in to this personally forbidden fruit and make whoopie with flash, unleashing all of her pent up desires. this would become a regular thing, though a solid relationship would likely never form.

I'd give him orange skin and blue hair. Make him a "rocker bad boy" type. Have a nice car and play the guitar. Maybe have him bump into twilight often

Starlight or Moondancer seem like good candidates. They're smart magi who she can have meaningful relationships with and discuss the fine points of academia.

But anon, he's probably going to be with Starlight.
If the premiere has him falling for Twilight and Starlight getting mad that would be very kekworthy.

>>26755818
Actually, I can see this...

>>26755818
god damnit they had a chance with this
now he's going to be starlight's partne-
oh my god
is he literally the ONLY pony we've seen with a beard other than starswirl?

The biggest problem with both incarnations of Flash Sentry is that they didn't even try and make him into a character. One's a mishmash of cheesy high school drama tropes, the other's a background decoration.

There's all sorts of ways to create a better love interest for Twi, but it's more in the execution than anything else, and it will take time.

Establish the love interest as an actual character on his own. Make him do something funny, something cool, something touching that actually convinces us that we should be interested in him. And maybe drop a hint that the pairing could be possible. Test those waters.

They can try again with pony Flash.

>>26755400
Establish him as his own character beyond twilight, or beyond any of the m6, if any love interest comes in.

Twilight's boyfriend should be Spike. They've been together since he has been born and he has been besides her ever since.

>>26757215
Actually, We're talking about love interests, NOT boyfriends.

>>26757772
There will be no lesbian love interest for any of the Mane 6, yurifag.

>>26755400
I actually thought Sunburst was gonna be a love interest for Twilight.

>>26757270
That's like banging your older sister, gross
>>26757934
But besides the point Tony Stark is actually a great starting point when you're trying to build a good love interest for Twilight.

Heck it is funny how much fanart there is pairing Twilight and Peter Parker because they do seem like a good pairing as well

What do you have against sibling love?

>>26755400
I gave you my heart and then you turned around.

Uh, no.

Someone more developed than she. Someone she only recognizes as an adversary at first, yet ends up learning much from.

Someone who teachest her the most difficult and final lesson of friendship: Being callous and harsh when it is what a friend needs.

These.

The Love interest has to be a pony/person who has his own problems, goals, and, of course, things that make him cool and fun for us, the audience.

The best way for it to happen is for there to be NO buildup to his introduction. He just appears onscreen, doing nothing spectacular or important, but the importance is in him being shown to be somebody who is just like everyone else, and "probably unimportant" at first. His connection to Twilight will come slow.

No Chadding (or mary sue-ing on twilights part). He just appears, and he's doing his own thing, and from there, events just lead up to a very gradual build up of a relationship, and the connection between them is consciously realized much, much after it already happened.
It's the exact same thing happens with making friends.

No love at first sight high school BS, make them legit spend some decent time together on non-romantic terms, and see how happy they are and how much fun they have when they're together, before they both realize they like each other.
