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!

Now I'm wondering if there's some sort of Party Academy somewhere.

"And the loser?" "...doesn't."

Matilda!

Is that a polka beat I hear?

Did the rainbow eye thing happen before?

If you mean Pinkie's eyes after the Goof-off, then yeah. Rarity had them in RtM after looking at the empty stands with the rainbow ribbon things and Rainbow had them in RF when the pitcher of water caused a rainbow to hit Derpy's flag.

If that isn't what you mean, then the preceding paragraph works as a recap if anyone wasn't aware I guess?

That is in fact what I meant. Thank you.

I'm going to have to go back to Rarity's episode, because I didn't notice that. And also I should go see RD's, because I haven't yet.

Post of the Day #640

I don't care for the Everyone is Gay atmosphere of fanon either, but in some cases it does work.

My attitude toward shipping in general is basically that it's the same thing as any other kind of fanfiction, fanon, or miscellaneous fanity. There's nothing that makes shipping fics or fanart any different than fics or fanart that present the same characters in literally any situation that doesn't occur in canon. And since I don't reject fanwork in a general sense, and I am more inclined to appreciate the warm fuzzy feeling of a good romance story than, well, Cupcakes, or even sometimes more than an epic adventure, most of what I read is shipping fics.

And now I am contractually obligated to say it:

WORST. PAGETOPPER. EVER.

Meh I just don't care for romance stories in general. So don't care for shipping either. Unless it's done really well, and has something else to it. Like Shipping And Handling THAT was a great shipping/romance based fic.

I just realized that the Mayor never does anything besides give speeches. Does she do any actual governing?

I wonder if she's elected. On the one hand, it is a monarchy, on the other hand, the local positions are much more likely to be elected.

I totally see the Mayor as a King of Town character who just up and declared herself the mayor one day and the residents of Ponyville were to laid back to raise any sort of objection.

The Mayor's an Authority in Name Only. I wonder if the Sunbutt and Moonbutt even bother to run important decisions by her.

Sunbutt: Oh, Mayor Mare, there you are. I've asked Twilight Sparkle and her friends to release Discord from his stone prison, so you'll be seeing him hanging around Ponyville.
Mayor Mare: I...what?
Sunbutt: Have a pleasant day.

I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!

Mayor Mare won probably because no one else really wanted the job, aside from her brother Mayor Stallion, but he wasn't very popular with the younger voting demographic.

Well the Princesses seem really hooves off, so likely just let each town handle their own governing, but ponies are so over all well behaved there's really little they need to do besides give speeches and a few minor administrative things,

I wonder if there are any teachers besides Cherilee. It's rather convienent that all the kids seem to be the same age.

[up]Well yeah. Not having to come up with to many extra flash assets is convenient.

#44920: Feb 2nd 2014 at 7:43:00 AM

I chalk it up to her schedule. She teaches a few dozen kids in the afternoon, some older kids with cutie marks indicating a talent for education and teaching, and the odd adult classes when time allows.

[down] Yeah, pretty much. With a fairly solid enough ability for society to figure out your special talent, it at least seems to render a lot of advanced schooling unnecessary unless they specifically want to keep in school.

In that case, I have to wonder how common the apprentice style would be, a colt or filly having a talent that can be taught skills relating to it by older ponies with jobs where they'd be useful.

Well, it's likely they don't need quite as much schooling as RL. Just, the basics of math, reading, history. Just he basic foundation, then simply free to specialize in whatever field their special talent lies.
