I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Well now I just regret potholing it instead of keeping up the facade for a few posts. :P

Your description of it piqued my interest, but it seems hard to search for. Google just keeps turning up other characters named Mizuchi.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

@Kyler: that's because it doesn't exist. Wryte made it up.

@Wryte: To be fair, it would be easy to assume that you were trying to pothole to the series page and it redlinked because it was too obscure.

Also, I just found out that there's a Kickstarter for getting Wakfu dubbed into English, which is awesome.

Exactly. I didn't bother mouseovering it either.

One Double Standard in this fandom that annoys me is when fans vilify one character for doing something the others did. For example, Rainbow Dash and Princess Celestia get criticized the most for leaving Twilight at the chapel after the latter called Princess Cadance evil. EVERYPONY left Twilight just to fawn over the (unknowingly evil) Princess, so why single Dashie and Celestia out?

[up] Well Dash is the Element of Loyalty (but the fridge horror page points out that the ponies do not live up to those elements all the time.) not sure about celestia though.

Because Dash is the element of Loyalty, and Celestia should have been doing some mentoring instead of ditching her, I guess. Honestly, I was with all of them against Twilight in that case.

Wait, that's a thing that happened? People have been singling them out and criticizing them more? This is the first I've heard of it.

here's the bullet in question:

* More Fridge Horror regarding fandom. There are numerous cases where people ask why the heroes do something nice or not do something mean, only to claim Fridge Brilliance because it ties into their Element. What's horrifying is that this means that the viewers see the good that they do is not because they're good people, but rather out of some sense of obligation to fulfill their duties as representative of a cosmic imperative. What's worse is that our heroes fail to live up to their cosmic imperative not infrequently.

I assume that the elements are also the reason for the singling out in the former case (as in people think that the Man 6 ditched her because Rainbow Dash "betrayed" her)

And that quote just shows the person fully did not understand how the Elements or the Mane 6's connection to them work. NOTHING about the Element influences them, the reason they are connected to that Element, is because it is ALREADY a massive, integral part of who they are. They would act the same, Element or no. And because they do, is why they were chosen as bearers for the Element.

You're presenting headcanon as fact again.

By the way Dark, remember when you posted the list of Adventure Time season 1 episodes you should watch? Could you post it again please? I don't really want to go looking at the moment.

How is it headcanon? When it's made clear right from the pilot that's how it was. Each of the Mane 6 received the Element that they already were embodiments of. nothing in any way changed about them because of it. So it was because of how they already were.

When is anything about the nature of their relationship with the Elements made clear? You don't just get to claim your pet theories are proven because there's no contradictory evidence when there's no evidence to support it either. There is no evidence. Period.
