YoshiShy

YoshiShy is the het ship between Yoshi and Fluttershy from the Super Mario and My Little Pony fandoms.

Canon
As both hail from different franchises, they never met. Both are major characters of their respective franchises, although Yoshi’s involvement in the games gradually increased after his debut in Super Mario World. Both also have the ability of flight, but each have their limits of performing such: the dinosaur requires specific power-up wings or a blue Koopa Troopa shell to gain such, while Fluttershy does not fly much of the time in the cartoons at first. Plus, both Yoshi and Fluttershy are friendly, and can also be considered to be the “cute”-type, in their own franchises. Both characters in their respective shows usually teach about friendship, though Yoshi has a childish personality and a big appetite in the DiC cartoon.

Fanon


Despite both characters debuting over 10-30 years ago, this crossover ship has been the latest one to be conceived. It is greatly overshadowed by more-popular ships like Yoshirdo (Yoshi×Birdo), Fluttercord (Fluttershy×Discord), and FlutterDash (Fluttershy×Rainbow Dash). The ship is mainly focused on fan-art.

An artist by the name of Justin Valdecanas has drawn and colored both characters together since mid-2021. He uploads mainly on DeviantArt and Instagram, the latter under the names of “YoShy” and “YoShy alt”. He also made fan-children from the pair, two male dinosaurs and three female ponies, their names based on their “parents”: Yoshy (eldest son), Fluttershi (eldest daughter), Lil’Shy (older daughter), Yoshishy (younger son), and Dinoshy (youngest daughter). The latter is half-pony and half-dinosaur. Besides these, there are also artworks where they mostly have just Yoshi and Fluttershy. Some artwork pics that were drawn include Fluttershy using Yoshi as an umbrella, Yoshi and Fluttershy on a date, Fluttershy singing the song You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song (a song that Pear Butter sang to Bright Macintosh in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season 7) to Yoshi, Yoshi carrying Fluttershy, and even one based the infamous MordeTwi Airplanes meme.

Other YoshiShy fan-artists include, , mlp_ships.0, and _poxxy.pop_.
