Is not, the only ship among those three that was confirmed was LyraBon, as for pony Twilight, she’s single, and is Sunset the one who is more likely to end up with Flash at this point
Mind you, this comic was just a joke, not to be taken too seriously. For example, the Bonbon/Lyra actual confirmation came several years after this comic was drawn.
However the Scratchtavia thing came from the Slice of Life episode, where it was revealed that they lived in the same house and have “ionate music making session, where even Octavias clothing item got ripped off, that’s how intense it was”
Like I said, not actual confirmation, just a lighthearted shipping comic.
Btw. if you reply to this comment, I may not see it, as I don’t browse derpibooru anymore. That I saw this today was just a mighty huge coincidence
While i wouldn’t mind any official acknowledgment of a girlgirl ship, i do not think it would happen, but i DO wish they would at least leave it open or “hint”, something like…making Sunset say she wish she could spend more time with Twilight. To a young person or conservative it would seem just like a “i miss my friend deal” but to the fanbase it would be enough to make the shippers happy.
While true “love at first sight” was one of the problems, there were several more. One of the bigger ones, that SunFlash also would have, is that Flash is STILL just the token love interest, nothing more nothing less. As people pointed out in the legend of everfree reviews, at least Gloriosas brother had some importance beside being twilights love interest, but Flash? ALL he does is trying to get laid. You can’t be a more 2 dimensional character if you try. This is why the first moment Flash haters started to sway was in the friendship games short where he was making a banner with some other guys, because at that point he finally showed a side of his that wasn’t all about “Does this girl like me?” and “How can i make this girl like me?”

I somehow doubt any lesbian ship is going to get any official acknowledgment other than Lyrabon, which is between two mostly-insignificant characters and was basically treated as a joke both times it got any focus (“Slice of Life” and “All’s Fair in Love and Friendship Games”). And I get the feeling even that much was considered to be pushing the envelope. Even if they wanted a gay or lesbian couple on the show, I don’t wink they’d risk the kind of backslash it might get in less tolerant countries where the show also airs. Not that that Americans ourselves are necessarily as tolerant as some might like to think either, but that’s a whole other kettle of fish.

Sunflash does at least avoid the whole “love at first sight” thing, which was the one big problem with Flashlight other than Flash himself being poorly received. And Flash isn’t looking as bad to most people now that Timber’s around.
That said, if he was sending any signals, I think it’s pretty clear she didn’t notice.
