normally when people say "in a relationship", it jumps to being a going out loel relationship.
It could be any kind of relationship you guys, maybe it's not going to be so close :P
They're BF/GF, but it's not like they'll be making out or screwing each other onscreen or anything. I'm mainly doing this because I want his OC to be dating somepony with Fluttershy's personality, but an OC with her personality wouldn't work. It would make the whole thing feel awkward. It would look like we ran out of ideas and threw in an extra Fluttershy just to avoid shipping with official characters, which would pretty much ruin the series... So, yeah...
Onscreen?? So they're still making out and screwing? I'll say this again, oohhh helllll naaaaawwwwww
not making out onscreen.
Oh heeeeeeeelll naaawwwwwwwww
shipping with an OC is an even worse idea

Hopefully, it'll come across as cute rather than rage inducing.
bloop
If it makes you feel any better, this is the only Shipping in the webtoon that involves an official character.
The only other instance of shipping I can think of is between an OC and a discarded/rejected character from the show (Firefly).
