The plot thickens...
@redweasel  
I know I’ll take heat for this, but not everthing needs foreshadowing. I can think of alot things you guys don’t complain about that had no foreshadowing whatsoever.
 
sugar belle must have just been the personal preoccupation of someone at dhx with enough influence to crowbar her into the plot, and they just dumped it on the rest of the team without any forethought, because if the rest actually thought about it they’d start raising objections.
 
I certainly don’t think someone ran into a board meeting and announced, “hey I’ve got a great idea! what if we disappoint all the shippers!” so, I figure sugar was just someone’s baby, and her inclusion as big mac’s love is stubborn and self-serving, and a disgusting lack of professionalism.
 
I think you’re overthinking it honestly…  
Also, honestly the ‘shippers aren’t really a huge priority, and I can understand them going with a different potential girlfriend, especially due to the unfortunate-implications of CheeriMac, (undermining the lesson of “Hearts & Hooves Day”) or MarbleMac. (Possible incest.) There was also FlutterMac, (which used to be popular too) but they apparently aren’t allowed to give the Mane 6 boyfriends, as to respect the wishes of Lauren Faust. (And why they were vague on that in the finale.)
 
Plus. they already kinda catered to the ’shippers with stuff like Lyra & BonBon. (Originally, they were just two background ponies that just appeared sitting next to each other only once in the first season. Then suddenly they became a huge fan phenomenon.)

No more then it’d be for Cheerilee
ah yes more real than a drug induced haze. real high bar there.  
or Marble Pie.
factually incorrect.  
Though, frankly you do see Mac & Sugar walk together alot in the backgrounds of episodes
only after the episode in which he’s already fallen in love with her. it’s ridiculously poorly planned. all they had to do was a little bit of foreshadowing, where he was making eyes at her in the background somewhere that they were likely to meet (like the season opener), but they didn’t. sugar belle must have just been the personal preoccupation of someone at dhx with enough influence to crowbar her into the plot, and they just dumped it on the rest of the team without any forethought, because if the rest actually thought about it they’d start raising objections.
 
I mean I welcome any other explanation for the lack of foreshadowing for something so huge (or all that foreshadowing that I missed). I certainly don’t think someone ran into a board meeting and announced, “hey I’ve got a great idea! what if we disappoint all the shippers!” so, I figure sugar was just someone’s baby, and her inclusion as big mac’s love is stubborn and self-serving, and a disgusting lack of professionalism.
 
the characters work alright together though. you just need to foreshadow that sort of thing!

@redweasel  
No more then it’d be for Cheerilee, or his may-or-may-not-be cousin Marble Pie.
 
Though, frankly you do see Mac & Sugar walk together alot in the backgrounds of episodes sense, so arguably their relationship developed mostly off-camera, and let’s face it, romance isn’t a huge priority for the show, and we can’t expect them to focus on every supporting or minor characters’ relationship.

@northern haste  
Some still try to argue that “CheeriMac” was canon “off-screen,” and became an “aborted arc,” when the “new evil writers” came on board, and such… Some refuse to let their ‘ships sink, and will go down with them while playing violins.
 
Ok, speaking as somebody whom used to be kinda CheeriMac, even the “teases” don’t really confirm they were ever in a relationship, and I kinda wish some would get over it.  
I also don’t get all the hate over the character SugarBelle as honestly she is still a sweet pony/person, and has a bit more spunk then Cheerilee, or Marble do.  
(Do they hate her for sinking their ‘ships, or not being a fanon ‘ship, or because of that one time she lost her schmitz, and yelled at Big Mac & Justin Beiber pony for basically fighting over her, therefore “she’s a meanie pony undeserving of Mac?”)
 
Also, wouldn’t CheeriMac becoming canon also kinda undermine the lesson of “Hearts & Hooves,” that you can’t force a relationship?  
(Plus, I’m sure some would complain about it too, as some hate fanon ’ships becoming canon.)

big mac is happy guys can’t you just be happy for him

It was lined up for the show to go that direction.
 
I beg to differ. Big Mac and Cheerilee were under the influence of a love poison, whereas his love for Sugar Belle was real and developed more naturally.  
If Big Mac had ended up with Cheerilee, then the whole moral of Hearts and Hooves Day would’ve been nullified. Big Mac had to find an actual love interest, without being forced into it.  
I lost two months of sanity after that episode aired.
 
If you’re so invested in a fictional relationship that the writers taking things in a different direction is that mentally damaging to you, then that’s on you. Nobody else is at fault here.

in my opinion was one of the stupidest episodes to ever exist in the show and one of the other negative points too. i lost two months of sanity after that episode aired.

it was lined up for the show to go that direction but alas at the peak, the writers said fuck it and did what in my opinion was one of the stupidest episodes to ever exist in the show and one of the other negative points too. i lost two months of sanity after that episode aired.
 
But in my headcanon… Cheryl and Big mac are still a thing so that can never be taken from me.

cold and cruel
“Well his sister gave us what is essentially ecstasy in our drinks once, noone got raped and the dosage wasn’t fatal but we basically got high for 22 minutes, gave each other awkward nicknames, almost got married, and then walked into the sunset together and that was the entirety of our relationship. It was kind’ve like a trip to Las Vegas in a nutshell.”
