A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

It's not sentient, but IIRC, it is in fact a parasite.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHasbro executives, presumably.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Yeller's correction: Oh, all right... so it's not sentient... though, I'm now thinking if it would be Queen Chrysalis' favorite plant... Free kisses, free love? What's not to like in the deal?
@Flash Sentry: I kinda had to shake my head about Mr. Sentry... I just... there's nothing for me to say without being redundant from previous times.
After the reaction to Flash, I kinda doubt that any sort of canon romance is going to popup. And even if it did that's not going to stop anyone. Honestly, one of the things I like about the show is that it has a female cast that isn't focused on romance; it shows that they actually have ambitions and goals aside from finding the right person. Not to mention that their one attempt to seriously do that (Flash Sentry) didn't go over well at all.
My other objection is that if they wanted to handle the romance well, they'd have to dedicate a decent amount of screentime to developing the characters and the relationship, which could take it into Romantic Plot Tumor territory. The alternative is to leave it in the background at which point there's no real reason to have it at all. If say, RD got a boyfriend or whatever, I don't think it would work unless they spend a lot of time developing him, time that could be spent on other stuff.

Reaction Image RepositoryI dunno, CMC/Cannon is pretty close to being supported.
But seriously, if they were going to show a developing romance in the show, I'd much rather than it involve secondary characters who wouldn't throw off the mane cast's dynamic. Like I'd be fine if say, Cheerilee/Mac became canon. But a canon relationship with a mane character would just throw off the balance too much. You wouldn't have a single group, you'd have a group and also a pairing.
Reaction Image Repositoryi do love it when the thread derails into bad puns.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.I'm not a fan of bad puns. But if it's clever enough it gets a pass.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayBad puns can still be entertaining. Especially when they come in droves.
The only puns I like are ones that are either incredibly witty, or horrible. Anything in between is just meh.
Reaction Image RepositoryI'm wondering what film I should see I've got a choice of 3 films that I want to see: I can either go see Anchorman 2, The Hobbit 2 or Frozen. I personally want to go see Frozen and I've heard great things about it, though I liked the first Anchorman I'm not so sure about the sequel same goes for The Hobbit 2, oh decisions, decisions, decisions.
"Transform and Roll out!" Optimus PrimeI'd say go see Frozen. Though to be fair I haven't seen the Hobbit 2 so I can't compare.

Well they needed someone to prove Twilight isn't a lesbian.
