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.

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

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.

Oh speaking of crack fanfic titles/descriptions, what the heck?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI just realized that the Mayor never does anything besides give speeches. Does she do any actual governing?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI 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.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe 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 wonder if there are any teachers besides Cherilee. It's rather convienent that all the kids seem to be the same age.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI 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.
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.

In cycles? But wouldn't all the metal pieces hurt them? Especially if someone starts riding it...

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?
Walking off into the sunset. Like a true party cowboy.

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