I love the style.

Reminds me of Dark Pegasus from Dan and Mab’s furry adventures for some reason.
ArkoneAxon
Good example! An asexual, aromantic badass who would never be caught in a relationship with any other character.

Who is that dressed as Dora the Explorer?
QuanticChaos
Having watched the show, I just cannot understand this ship...
AsianLeprechaun
Probably a redemption thing. Still weird though.

My best guess is that Sombra best fills the "brooding dark badass villain" slot, while simultaneously being the ideal "but I can fix him" fandom option. Pairing him with Fluttershy is the big opposites attract trope in action, with her simultaneously being a total polar opposite, but also having a dark side (she's a vampire, canonically) and being super kinky in the fandom's eyes. But it all relies on rewriting the characters into pure fandom creations only vaguely inspired by the originals.

It may be that the author thinks they mesh well. It may just be that it's fiction and they're doing whatever the hell they want with it.
SilverNicktail
Willfully batshit ships seem to outnumber the credible. Canon relationships are to be completely ignored.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
My guess is "Fluttershy likes Discord, she must like Villains!"
SilentShift
Speaking of, I will forever ship Fluttershy and Discord, it can be a cute pairing
CallMeBaconLord
I swear I thought that the VA for Fluttershy actually dubbed this comic at one point

I justify these kind of ships by telling myself they take place in one of countless alternate universes.
KommanderKayriel
Beauty and the Beast/Taming the Beast archetype ship. Umbra is clearly insane and evil, mad overlord. Fluttershy is the sweetest and kindest thing on the planet.
DarkDuskBlade
Innocent Princess + Dark Prince is a really common trope in some circles
FllintEasywood
She's not a princess, and he wasn't even really a character, in the show he was just a big evil cloud. The two of them never interacted.
ArkoneAxon
Which is why the related comics actually have Sombra as having once had a romance with Celestia... before being corrupted into a villain. Or maybe it was a Sombra from an alternate timeline, I don't even recall the details right now.
Badgerbadgerson3
Right? Reminds me of the people who sexually ship Alastor, a LITERAL ARO/ACE SERIAL KILLER, with Charlie, the sweet bean already in a loving relationship.
DannyJammy
No idea why people do that
AllMaktAtTengilVarBefriare
Dude 99% of yaoi ships are straight up crack ships, don't try to find logic in ships.
BlueDsc
People will ship anyone with anyone. I've seen people ship characters from different series entirely.
Roune
And yet no one will ship me *sobs uncontrollably and runs away*
TyphoonMuscles
That would be human trafficing.
tanebot
Awww OK you can be dating BlueDsc, the two of you met in line for waffles at a local icecream shop.
Roune
Are….are the waffles blue too?

Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy (in leather pants, ofc)
ArkoneAxon
To be fair, Draco was definitely obsessed with Harry. Though Harry certainly didn't feel the same way - he was more into Cho, and then Ginny pounced and claimed him.
nspriest233
And then bitch rowling said she wished she had put hermione with harry not ron.
ArkoneAxon
Yeah, my favorite response was from a guy saying, "ain't she write the damn books?"
