But she's blushing and has a feather tucked behind her ear, a fanon symbol of romantic intima--

I mean, yes, that's clearly the intended interpretation. They are clearly mother and daughter.

We have been shown twi blushes easy and Fandom symbol which is not canon soo

You can see it as romantic but I like to believe it is a non romantic situation, however you wanna see it is cool

Well, the author expressly says it's a shipping picture, so it comes off as kind of pushy from your end. There are *tons* of Momlestia pics out there, and no need to claim this as one of them. And since the gesture of giving feathers is never shown in canon, it's purely fanon anyway. Authors choosing to evoke it are evoking the intent in fanon, unless expressly stated otherwise. The same way if somebody is shown with Dinkie being held by Derpy they aren't showing a child kidnapping or a mail pony getting touchy-feely with somebody else's filly. Also, when Twilight blushes out of insecurity her ears fold back. They're perfectly erect here.

Again, you have a fair argument but I will see this picture however I like and you honestly cant make me see it another way

That doesn't mean you have to share that interpretation when it's been blatantly stated to be the opposite. It's a bit different if the picture is neutral, but that's like shouting "Long live Jesus" in a mosque. Or bringing a Palin flag to an Obama rally. It's not illegal, but it is kind of impolite.

I was just saying I saw it as a mother like picture, you could of ignored it and moved on

You could also have ignored the labelled shipping picture and moved on. I came to see them as a pairing, not to see them as adoptive family (especially since Twilight already has a family). There are pictures of them as mother and daughter for people who prefer that interpretation elsewhere on the site.

I felt like enjoying it here, and I have the freedom too, so if you would be so kind as to leave me to do as I please that would be fantastic
