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.

If you have such a huge issue with it, then why not ask the staff about the issue? It's not like they make their Twitter pages inaccessible. XP
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987@Nomuru: While I agree with you that Seraphem is taking it a bit too seriously and he needs to chill out, I agree with him in that Fluttershy's plan isn't actually the most reasonable solution based on the information the episode presents.
Her entire plan relies on the assumption that the bats will stay in the designated section of the orchard, and honestly AJ has absolutely no reason to believe that they actually will. Twilight's solution is honestly more reasonable because it's better for all involved. It doesn't really hurt the bats (all she did was remove their desire to eat apples; they can eat other fruits), and it removes the risk to Applejack's business. The only reason it didn't work was the unforeseen side effect of turning Fluttershy into a bat pony.
Fluttershy's solution requires Applejack to basically sacrifice a chunk of her orchard for a benefit that Applejack has no guarantee of actually getting. Fluttershy fails to have any real dialogue with the bats, so there's no reason to think that she'd actually be able to confine them to one section of the orchard, and she probably doesn't know enough about botany to say for sure whether the benefit gained by the apple seeds would outweigh the difficulties of half the orchard being eaten.
Also, the farm has had an infestation before, so they already have vampire fruit bat enhanced trees.

Did you ever try my GBA game?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayAdventure Ponies does get old after a while, though. Eventually you just want to unlock all the characters.

Do you have an educational degree related to this topic?
