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.

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]Princess Celestia disappears and the mane 6 venture into Starswirl's secret library to find answers. We also see some flashback of Starswirl and Celestia, Starswirl being something of an Eccentric Mentor (some are comparing him to Disney's Merlin.)

Not entirely sure what Princess Gwenevere didn't like about it. I thought it was great.

The mirror world arc sounds... interesting, to say the least.

And (as I said before) I bet a lot of fans are gonna be pissed that their fanfics don't line up with canon now.

@Crow: It's the Starswirl/ Mirror dimension arc. It's supposedly heavily focused on Celestia, but she's pretty much absent, (except in flashbacks), and it frankly paints her in an irresponsible and contradictory light. That's all I'll say without spoiling.

I'm sorry, my hideous Celestia bias is seeping through and I've had no sleep. I just felt the whole thing seemed rather out of character for her.

People change over time. I'm sure Celestia has changed a lot in the past thousand or so years.

Seems like the comic writers get their hooves on all the unsaid material the show's not covering in the emediaate future they could get away with.

[up][up] I get that. I really don't want to seem like the MUH HEADCANON or the MUH SHIPPING type because that's not the case here, (Or I like to think it is) but I'm having trouble buying that Celestia would seemingly allow her emotion to put not one, but two worlds in danger, when she did the very opposite with Nightmare Moon.

Speaking of Celestia, when's the last time we actually saw her on the show? Feels like its been awhile. We need more screen time for the princesses dang it.

I haven't gotten the comics yet, so I can't say. Although if it does take place a thousand years ago it could be a matter of Character Development and her learning to put her emotions to the side when she has to.

@Princess Gwenevere: From the way I read it, it seems like it was very early in her reign and she probably wasn't as firm as she is now.

Say, did anyone else notice schematics for the magical locked box on the wall of Twilight's library in the Maud episode?

Second from what I've heard, the whole arc is about her making a choice, and the way things could have gone had she chosen differently. So yeah, development. Showing her become the pony she is now.

Yeah, most likely she made a bad decision and that taught her to be more responsible and think things through in the future. She screwed up and becomes a better person so it doesn't happen again.

Also, I'm really wanting to read the comics but I don't wanna spend my first paycheck on downloading them all. Blarg.

I wanted to buy the comics for Chirstmas last year, but Amazon didn't have the first volume.

I guess you guys are right. I really shouldn't be to quick to judge, especially since I only have half the story. It still strikes me as irresponsible and beneath her, but again, my bias is kicking in.

Sorry for unleashing my butthurt on you guys; my tits are now in a calm and upright position. tongue

I just realized something. Today's Winter Wrap Up.

And now that I think about it, I'm sure somebody probably already pointed that out.

What exactly constitutes an angry tit position? Do they make crude or threatening gestures?

@Crow: Well, mine tend to flail when angered, but I guess it varies from person to person.

Sounds uncomfortable. Do they only do that when you're angry, or can they become angered independently of you? Or can one get angry independent of the other?

I should probably stop now, this is getting weird.
