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.

Pinkie Pie does tend to have the best pormanteau ship names. I especially like Twinkie though.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI just got done Archive Binging the Fanfiction Red Flags thread. It's mostly people saying the same few things over and over, but I suppose that's reassuring.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayUgh, I'm getting annoyed at how people keep complaining about how Twilight's royal status doesn't pop up very often in episodes ever since the S4 premier. What, do they want ponies to constantly bow down to Twilight every time she shows up somewhere public? Cause that would get pretty old after a while.
I'd me more annoyed if it did pop up, given what we've seen of the setting and characters.

I think its because the show does not seems to acknowledged twilight being a princess apart from her wings and the premier. I'm a little miffed at that, but I think this is justified. For all we know, Celestia would have just asked the population to treat Twilight like your average pony. (It helps that Twilight doesn't have a dominion to rule over yet. Celestia and Lune rule over Equestria and can control the Sun and Moon, While Cadence rules the Crystal Empire)

Besides, it's not like she's actually ruling anything. Celestia and Luna get respect fom being 1000+ year old god queens, not just because they have a fancy title.
Twilight's done impressive stuff too, but noone knows that.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah. No-one except anyone who has heard of Luna's return, or Discord's awakening, or the fact that the Crystal Empire has returned...
I'd complain abou Sweet and Elie, but it actually sort of makes sense for thoe upper-class twits to be that self-absorbed.

I have a message from another time...That's not nearly as strange as you would think.
The idea is that some people may not have liked the idea of her being Princess, but now that she is one they would expect it to have some effect on things in the show. The fact that it for the most part hasn't outside of the primer has some people miffed in the "why make her a Princess if it's not actually going to mean anything?!" way.

I think she ought to actually be doing some princessing at some point. I liked in the opener how she had to take charge when Luna and Celestia went missing, but there's been nothing since.
However this is completely understandable as all of the episodes since have revolved around a different protagonist. But whenever they get around to doing another Twilight episode, I think it should definitely get some focus.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Yeah, I think Mio captured the drive of a lot of complaints; if they're going to change the character, you might as well do something with the change. But then again, it's not like there's no precedence for this. The Mane Cast have saved Equestria multiple times and no one recognizes them, so I tend to write off the lack of fame as something inherent to the setting.

Ponies just have ultra high standards, I guess.
XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!What's the significance of this? How do fimfic groups work?

You haven't been in the fandom long enough, have you? These ships can multiply even with one shot background characters in 10 seconds flat!
So, how is everyone today, if you don't mind me asking?
