So in the G5 media Hitch and Zipp are heading towards a couple. He even asked her out on a date once, they just didn’t word it that way.
I don’t know why G5 is so intent on setting them up. They would not even remotely work together unless we forgot what little personality either of them has. They ought to despise one another.
Hitch is obsessed with societal duties and Zipp does everything she can to spite her societal duties and quite frankly anything anyone else asks of her. She was even willing to completely ditch the royal portrait renewal, which would cause a massive scandal and break her mother’s and sister’s hearts.
By all means they should be able to put up with or appreciate each other as friends who don’t live together, the way that Rarity’s friends put up with her - but Applejack and Rainbow Dash are completely out of their depth in the Boutique and Rarity isn’t remotely comfortable on the farm (although when she’s angry or entitled enough she can handle an athletic event). Likewise Hitch would be constantly scolding Zipp and holding her back, and she would take him down with her and force him to publicly answer for her every time she acted out and caused a problem, which she would do specifically because he was scolding her and holding her back.
They would be the worst possible partners for one another unless one or both became completely different people (which is not a healthy relationship standard.) They’d be George Costanza’s parents before they were thirty… except written by people who can’t write a joke.
