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.

     Original OP text 
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!

I want to apologise.

I feel that I have insulted several people here and that was never my intention. I've apparently come across as something particularly nasty. I'd protest that I'm not actually like that, but it is irrelevant if that's the way that I have been acting as that's the part that matters.

I analyse the show the way I do because that's how I gain maximum enjoyment from it. I'm sorry if I was insulting the way that you gain enjoyment from the show.

As I said, I definitely don't choose to interpret the show in a way to support the explanation I like. I've changed my mind, sometimes in ways I actively dislike too often for that to be true.

However, I am stubborn and opinionated and treat things as Serious Business. That last part has only become bigger as I've written more, because I think about how insulted I'd feel if people decided that the exploits of my own characters somehow didn't "count" and was therefore ... feeling insulted on the writers behalf?

In any event, my intention was never to say that my interpretation was the only possible correct one. Just that it was the one that made the most sense to me.

Again, I'm sorry for any offense I've caused.

I just realized that yesterday, I was sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon. Still no howling at the moon though.

Also, do I get points for predicting that there was no greater signficance to the Pony of Shaodws stinger?

[up]I'm pretty sure the Pony of Shadows is a red herring.

@Sereg: I don't think anyone was particularly offended. I know I wasn't.

Exasperated perhaps, but not offended or insulted.

It's alright Sereg. It's just that you tend to take your headcanon a bit seriously as if it was part of the show.

If someone is really into headcanon, would that make him a canonhead?

[up]No, that sounds like someone who's memorized all of the obscure details of the show and brokers no theories or speculation.

I thought of another idea about Princess Sterling and Princess Gold Lily. What if one or both of them were Earth ponies who became alicorns, similar to Twilight (a unicorn) and Cadance (a pegasus, according to the book series) doing the same thing? Their names relate to things found inside the earth (flowers and metals) and I had an idea about Gold Lily that her name doesn't refer to the metal gold, but to lilies that are a yellow or golden color. like these flowers:

http://www.thelilygarden.com/pages_lilies/asiatic_yellow_1.html

So I thought, maybe she's the Princess of Flowers who calls upon the Earth pony part of her alicorn powers to wield power over flowering plants and lilies in particular? And then I thought that maybe she could have originally been an Earth pony, and then we'd have examples of each type of pony becoming an alicorn.

RIP Edvedd's joke, May 13, 2014 7:08:33-7:14:55.

You will be missed. Well, not really actually.

@dark: Like Sombra, it shall not be remembered.

@Kyler: Apple Bloom writes to her and tells her that the Tiara she's looking for is in Ponyville. Bad things happen.

Well she can use crystal to magnify love, so diamond's probably close enough.

Now I'm imagining Tiara turning into a diamond pony and Silver into, well I think you know where I'm going with this.

I still think Filthy Rich should teach the Apples proper buisness skills.
