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.

@Librarian: Oh, I hope I didn't ruin that for ya.

https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qPretty sure there have been shorter ones before, but I don't remember offhand what they were.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@CDRW: Not that I know of, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Also, I have a question: everybody seems to assume that the whole "casting a spell on the fruit bats to make them not eat fruit" was going to be a disaster based on the parasprite incident. While I can kinda see why that happens, why doesn't anybody consider the fact that the thing with the parasprites gives this spell a greater chance of working properly? Twilight is now fully aware of the potential collateral damage, and could modify the spell so it doesn't happen again. While it didn't work quite as planned, it mostly did what it was supposed to.
I mean, yes, the parasprite spell resulted in disaster, but why would everyone expect Twilight to drop it like a hot potato rather than try to modify it to be useful. I mean, the minute she pulled out the bat spell, why was the reaction "Ohnoes it's going to be the parasprites again" rather than "Hey, maybe she worked out the kinks this time"?

Reaction Image RepositoryWell unless you're certain that she has, it's a sensible reaction. And there's no particular reason for her to have done so. It's not like the parasprites ever came back.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@ JT: I actually didn't think about the parasprite spell until somebody else brought it up. I was horrified because she was willing to cast a spell on a group of animals that would remove their desire to eat. That's really horrifying.
Even if we mentally add in a "they only don't want to eat apples" clause, it's still incredibly bad.

I wash my brains on a regular basis. In soapy water.

Yeaaah, I'm going to put Bats! down as one of the series' more... odd episodes. I try not to think about it so hard, lest my head implode.
