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!

There's some really unpleasant fans on tumblr (mostly men's rights idiots) but, overall, I don't think this fandom is any worse than other fanbases.

Oh I know there's crazy people in the HP fandom. Just look at how defensive they can get if you have any criticism about the books, or at least that's what I've noticed. seems a lot of it runs on nostalgia and if you dare to point out any flaws, well Celestia help you.

It's about as sane as the Sonic fanboys over yonder.

That's the joke, slowpoke!

More like if you say Ron is kind of an ok character you have a 50/50 chance of getting shot for saying that.

[up][up][up] From what I've gathered as a causal Potter fan, you're allowed to criticize Dealthy Hallows' epilogue but not much else.

Also, am I misremembering, or did Soarin's cutie mark change between A Canterlot Wedding and Rainbow Falls?

Yes. It was the Wonderbolts' icon. I'm headcanoning it that the old one was part of his uniform (He was in uniform)

Maybe he borrowed a teammate's uniform for the gala. He got pie all over his own uniform.

@Purple: Well... it's Tumblr. That's par for the course.

Also, I don't think we've ever seen Soarin out of uniform before.

His flank was ostensibly uncovered at the Canterlot Wedding, but it's possible they have like, standardized cutie mark stickers as part of the dress uniform.

Cutie mark stickers... hmm... that raises a few questions.

An episode where the Crusaders discover cutie mark stickers? tongue

Like, would there be a reason for a pony to put cutie mark stickers on themselves? Some kind of a selfish gain reason.

A con man putting on a sticker of something he's trying to hawk so ponies will assume he knows something about it? Like, say, a Marching Band Conductor's Hat?

@Kegi: I considered stickers, but thought magic uniforms was more likely considering the royal guard.

So is Soarin's special talent being a Wonderbolt? That's oddly specific.

Or something like a fake instructor who gets paid for teaching fake martial arts. "Of course I know how to fight with swords, I got a sword on my flank right here".

Only his old cutie mark from when he was in uniform was the Wonderbolts' cutie mark. Presumably why they changed it. Even still, not necessarily. He could have had the same talent and cutie mar as the founder.

Thanks for the responses to my question, guys. It makes me feel a bit better, but I still very much don't like that the distasteful sectors of the fandom is what's most noticable. Kinda brings it down for everyone.

I have a message from another time...

@Enlong: tell me about it.

in other news, the weather's getting wonky over here. i had a 60°F day yesterday, and today there's a chance of snow. i'm talking within 24 hours.
