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!

Can you search your archive for posts of mine containing both "twilight" and "mediate"?

Was this before or after the nuking?

Wait a sec, how is that? All I recall of him after he blew up was maybe a shard or two visible in the aftermath.

It showed him able to regrow from only his horn and then explicitly showed that his horn survived the explosion. It couldn't be more obvious that they wanted to keep it open.

Still unlikely. You can definitely put Tirek under 'potential return' though.

After the nuking, I think.

Well you can probably just search for it via Google then. But I can do a search later if you still haven't found it.

Yeah, I initially though that his horn would reform, but, well, he's had 2 seasons, and nothing has come of him. It seems Cadance and co. did pretty well at cleanup duty.

He'll show up when they need a new villain.

Once they've Exhausted the Drug Addicted cat lady and the Magma surfer, I guess.

Yeah, but if the show goes on long enough, he will be brought back and he will be retroactively not dead the whole time.

And besides, Tirek went two and a half seasons without a peep.

@story: To be fair, the writers kind of welded that story onto the season finale, which is the only reason a time disparity exists.

Mc Carthy says Sombra's dead, but we all know her.

The thing is that in this show, Word of God can later be contradicted by the show. So Sombra is dead until he comes back at which point he will have been alive retroactively.

He's only mostly dead.

there's a big difference between "mostly dead" and "all dead." (please open his mouth.) tongue

[up][up][up][up]Indeed. Remember when Megan claimed that Flash Sentry wouldn't be in Season 4, only for him to make cameo appearances in both Three's A Crowd and the S4 Finale {The latter of which he even spoke in}?

Even if Sombra is dead dead, there's no reason to discount the idea of him coming back from being dead somehow.

Given all the magic that's sitting around waiting to be messed with improperly by someone who doesn't know better, it wouldn't be that much a stretch for them to say "oh look, someone did something stupid, and now Sombra's back again."

Tirek spent longer to show up, but there's a difference between not being known to be part of the series, and being known to be part of the series, and last seen obliterated.

I'm mostly just saying that no, they did not go out of their way to show he was alive. Quite the reverse, I'd say.

Okay, back from evening duties, and I'll try to at least get up to the finale tonight. This one looks like a Rarity episode.

Spike is indeed Rarity's favorite dragon. The alternatives are sociopathic dickwads who kill wildlife for shiggles.

Tubby puppet pony is an asshole. Also his puppets are in less need of fabulosity than...exorcism.

Rarity's going for the ice cream. That's like Defcon 3. 2 is wallowing and exile, and 1 is a demonic compulsion to make everything perfect so all shall love her and despair.

Wait, did Spike just solo the trip through the Everfree to the castle? Oh wait, no, Owlbro was with him.

oh god why is owlbro inside the bookcase. SOOOON.

"Hey, let's give this ominous spellbook bathed in sickly fel light and with a toothed vagina on the cover to a distraught and emotionally unstable unicorn! What could possibly go wrong?"

Spike fails all spot checks forever.

Holy plot that's a lot of ice cream, Rares.

"You want me to use a book that looks so dangerous it nearly stabbed me in the face when you held it out." "Yup." "Meh. Sure."

Of course, nobody notices Rarity's sudden propensity for evil laughing.

Puppet doucheface chewed out Rarity for making the puppet box too small and not mobile enough. So instead, he's setting up in the doorway of Sugarcube Corner, which is even smaller, literally nailed into a building, and has customers going through it. PONY LOGIC

That may be the best smugface Rarity has ever made.

Owlbro is silently judging you, as Owlbro is wont to do.

Okay, Defcon 1 it is. This will be a glorious and fabulous death.

OWLBRO STILL JUDGES.

"Everyone loves surprises! Especially when it turns their farm tools into solid metal weighing several times as much as they do!"

Rarity seems set to out-Lesson-Zero Twilight here. I'm not sure I can even provide much commentary of this. It's just going to be too glorious.

Wait a sec. Rarity is just blinging things out, right? So that means the mariachis were already Octavia and co. Someone write that fanfic!

Spike looks like the lovechild of Robocop and the Ice Titan from Hercules.

Holy shit, Rarity splinched some dudes inside a solid wall! I'm pretty sure Spike should be drawing the line at negligent equicide or something.

Well, it's not the way I'd have tried to hide a book, but I gotta give Spike props for trying.

If negligent equicide was not a good place to draw the line, making terrible puns with her own name most certainly is.

"You should never be afraid to tell me the truth. Except when I'm a superpowered tyrant of fabulosity. Then you should be very afraid."

I feel like that episode was amazing whenever Spike wasn't on screen, and meh when he was. The writers really haven't been giving him much credit. Like, ever. Also that toothed-vagina book is not gonna come out the other end nicely.

This is also the second time Rarity's been demonically possessed and turned into a supervillain. She's actually ahead of Trixie now.

They went out of their way to show that he could come back. He's not actually alive until they decide to bring him back.

I just recall broken shards that we all thought "ooh! Maybe he'll re-form, like he did in the episode!" and then "maybe Trixie's amulet is linked to him!" and then "maybe he'll show up in the finale!"

I'm just saying that I don't see it, at this point.

I mean, yeah, I suppose anything could happen if the proper magic handwave is applied, like necromancy or something. But story-wise, it rather feels like his ship has sailed.

All that means is that they have no current plans to bring him back soon.
