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!

[up][up]I know. That's what prompted it. All the Harry/Hermione shippers (perhaps the single worst shipping faction in the history of internet fandom) crawling out of the woodwork.

Aw, shit. I don't have a pagetopper.

Worse than Zutara shipping legions?

I have a message from another time...

I doubt there is any one "worst" shipping group. Except maybe people who ship their OC with a main character.

Which is why I only pursue shipping as a joke, and this fandom seems pretty relaxed in comparison.

Oh my freaking goodness, Dark that excerpt was great. Please expand that into a full story.

I want to write a story where Twilight Sparkle starts dating my OC... and the longer the relationship goes, the clearer it becomes to everyone that they really aren't a good match. Eventually, Twilight and the OC agree they're better off as friends.

And why I just plain don't care about shipping.

it will never be as bad as in the Harry Potter fandom, where someone in the Literature thread is bitching about how Ron is terrible.

Reminds me of a story I saw going around Facebook where Rowling says she regrets Hermione/Ron.

Shipping isn't so bad as long as you don't turn into a crazy possessive asshole about your ship. I fully endorse Twidash, but I still like other pairings involving those characters.

Eeeeyeah, that's why I don't touch HP. Not a bad series, but I don't wanna end up like that. Especially since the creator seems to be starting to feel a bit off kilter.

Anyways, I want a gummy.

Seconded.

Also, I think Zutara is an especially obnoxious ship since the characters are enemies in the actual show. There's only one scene in the entire series that even hints that they might be compatible (the cave scene at the end of season 2).

I only ship as a joke. Fanfics that take shipping seriously are a big turnoff for me.

Write it, Meta. For the love of cheese, write it.

The Pinkiedashers are pretty rabid. And don't even get me started on people who ship Rarity and Sweetie Belle, AJ and Big Macintosh, or Shining Armor and Twilight. Squick. Especially that first one. And yes, it does exist.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SPANISH!?

For a second, I heard a pretty irritated Emmy when Pinkie did the pinata song. Ah, nostalgia.

The last two episodes have been my favorites of the season so far. I'm hoping the Breezies episode is just as good, cause Fluttershy. :3

Hi all! It's been a while since I last showed my face here.

You see, at the end of season three, I decided to quit watching this show. I was still enjoying it, the whole magical feel was gone, and I was seeing a few warning signs that the show will never be quite as good again. I opted to "stop at the top" so that the good memories I had of this show wouldn't be overwritten by a sub par season that generally precedes cancellation.

Since then, my life didn't get much better , and I've officially run out of way to distract my mind from going mad with boredom. And then I remembered that there was a fourth season of ponies.

Before I start watching, I'd like to know what you guys think: did the show get better or worse, and is it still worth watching?

[up]I still believe that each season is superior to previous one, so show get better and worth watching more than ever.
