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!

Because there are a variety of methods, yeah, but there's still the strong implication that Cadence's ascension was triggered - though I haven't read the book, I do recall there being mention to some sort of artefact. Even if we do assume that it was triggered by the act of kindness for the villain of the story, what does that mean for Celestia and Luna? Their respective ascensions were triggered by an act of great sun and moon?

While the nature of the action involved likely has a say in the resultant aspect, all signs point to the fact that something needs to be done to trigger ascension in the first place. Some kind of enormous magical gathering, or artefact, or possibly even someone with a strong connection to something just up and dying and coming back to life. But there's no real reason to think that Twilight ascended just because she was a really good friend, or particularly philosophical.

You'd be hard pressed to find many contexts where Twilight isn't adorable, so no, you aren't.

Just to stop the argument before it starts, two things:

1. Given that we don't really know exactly how the spell works and how much of it was the spell and exactly what Twilight did to reverse it, the whole line between "the spell did the ascension" and "something else did it" is kinda blurry. The most certain thing we can say is that the spell was part of the sequence of events that lead to Twilight's ascension. Whether the spell specifically was required or whether Twilight could theoretically could've ascended via a different set of circumstances is unknown.

2. We honestly don't know enough about how ascension even works to extrapolate anything given that our sample size is two. We have no clue whether each alicorn ascends differently, or if they're all the same.

what does that mean for Celestia and Luna? Their respective ascensions were triggered by an act of great sun and moon?

Luna: Whoa, Celly, slow down the car! (sticks her rump out the car window) Hey, Tirek! Kiss it! Hahaha!

And that's how Luna became an alicorn.

I think I'll stick with something more classy for my fanfics. Though I may include Pinkie turning into cotton candy and having an I Taste Delicious moment.

Not much. And oddly enough, I just had pizza.

Also, thinking about buying a new pair of headphones.

Also, apparently the government owns the birthday song for some reason.

It's not the government, it's a private company which claims to own the copyright. But their copyright is rather questionable, and last I heard, someone was actually suing to get it overturned.

Funny you should say it's the government, because that's one of the few things that isn't copyrighted. In most cases, everything produced officially by the US government is Public Domain.

AOL Time Warner owns the birthday song. Ever notice how no one in cartoons or TV shows actually sings 'Happy Birthday'? Yeah, that's probably why.

Of course, they can't go after everyone who uses it in public or in private, so they don't bother on that front.

Is "I like the color scheme" a good enough reason to justify having an OC?

If that's all the reason you have... Eh, I dunno. If I make one I'd prefer he/she is interesting for reasons besides pure aesthetics.

It depends on what you're going to do with the OC, I guess. If you just think it would be cool to draw or whatever, go for it.

And now I sleep.

I can't even draw, I just have a picture of her in my head. It's a unicorn (because they're always unicorns) named Cherry Limeade. I think you can imagine what she looks like.

I don't plan on doing anything with the character, I just like green and red.

Okay.

Also, question for my fan fic. Where would you go in the Canterlot castle to dispose of a book? Would they have a furnace or boiler room?
