Her and Sweetie Belle are getting an episode, other than that I'm not sure.I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Also, are Rarity threads going to be a regular thing now? I could get behind that.

>>29889076
Of course. The artist is doing another little comic featuring Rarity, though so far I'm not enjoying it that much.

No real progression for Rarity in S7. We will be revisiting Manehattan, and she won't have her own song. Twirity episode never, but we'll have some sisterly bonding. I wouldn't be surprised to see her do something with Glimmer, and at least one episode where she's paired with someone.

>>29889097
We've picked up the slack lately. Still fairly slow, but we're hitting that autosage, second time in a row now. And hopefully now with the show back on we will have even more to talk about.

Reminder that the second Peek Behind the Boutique is out.

>tfw a joke has turned into a legitimate discussion

Happy Easter everyone! I was talking to my eleven year old cousins earlier, and apparently public school is utter crap. Aside from them learning far less than I did as a kid, they are unable to do much of anything at recess anymore. They play dodgeball with styrofoam balls, can't play football, not even twohand touch, no baseball, unable to touch people at all (no romance period), can't use your fists or hit a tetherball hard, and the clubhouse is segregated by one gender at a time. Is anyone elses siblings or kids at one of these schools?

>>29889367

For some reason, Night Light's presence in anything sexual feels pointless and random unless it's incestuous or with Twilight Velvet. I guess because he has no real character beyond "Sparkle family dad."

Nevobaster's style is pretty fantastic, though.

>>29889367

I was born in '88, raised in Texas, and that was already true when I was a kid. Don't think I ever played dodgeball with anything harder than that.

>Not even interesting clothes.
Darling, please. Maybe your clothes aren't interesting, but Rarity could make them so. Rarity would probably be quite inspired by the new challenge. She'd take your measurements and try all kinds of fashions on you, if you let her. I'm not sure how experienced she would be in men's fashion (especially human men), but at the very least she could design something that ponies would like to see you wear.

If a human woman came to Equestria, Rarity might actually lose her mind creating new designs for her.

>>29889395

This is probably Monochromatic speaking through me, but I think Raritwi is a patrician and natural ship/friendship. Twilight, an educated upper class mare given royal title, who sorely needs help adjusting; Rarity, an upward-climbing socialite with dreams of marrying into royalty, who could help her friend learn the ropes. It's bizarre that they've never had an episode where it's the two of them and nopony else.

I feel the same. Not even a shipperfag, somehow their frienship seems so natural to me. There's just so much sublte things to explore here. Even something like them bonding in Canterlot over the city life would be great. Rarity, who wanted to be there for so long and Twilight, who lived there most of her life and is a natural. Just imagining it feels so comfy. Sweet&Elite teased it well but it was still focused on other things. I think a Raritwi episode would've worked better in earlier seasons but there's no reason for it to not work now if they give an interesting spin.

Feels just awful. But we can still have an episode of the two. They have a lot in common now, and if the map ever sends them somewhere, they could tackle any problem with ease.

Rarity and Twilight would be an absolute power team.

The best time for their episode would've been in S2-4. But even now there's a lot that can be done in Canterlot alone, Rarity and Twilight see the city differently, not to mention any other places like something in the middle of nowhere where both feel out of their element. I feel like using them the show can tackle pretty serious and subtle friendship problems.

S1 when the relationship was still fresh would've fit well, too. S4 right after Twilicorn would probably make the most sense. Too late for that now, but Rarity is still an owner of three boutiques and Twilight is still a skillful organizer. There's still so many things for them to have a nice slice of life ep about.

>>29892709
Glimmer being a bit of a psycho and sociopath could definitely use some mentoring. There wouldn't be the proper bonding that Twirity would have, but it could still be pulled off into a solid episode.

Darling, please.

I'd actually like to see a Glimmity episode. Glimmer is damaged, but Rarity can be very patient with things like that. Look at how she helped Flutters in Filli Vanilli. I think Rarity would see Glimmer's concerns, and subtly work around them to make Glimmer more comfortable without her realizing it. And also make her more fabulous simply by proximity.

There's too much glimposting for me to take a low-effort post like that as anything else other than bait. While not a fan of Glimmer herself I don't mind her episodes and actually welcome the show trying to work her in to make her likeable for me. Rarity being the most socially aware pony aside from Pinkie (when written well) would be a great help in making Glimmer fit in and be less of a sperg at times, I agree.

Starlight is the closest thing to a pony autist we have, desu. She basically just stays in the castle doing magic, and has like two actual friends outside of Twilight- one of whom is Trixie, who somehow has *worse* social skills. Having an episode where Rarity and Starlight go to Canterlot, Manehattan, or wherever else- it'd be a fantastic chance to have Starlight become a more likeable and sociable character.

>>29891097

That's Moondancer, anon. Starlight is just a girl who's afraid of failing, like Twilight was. She was also afraid of everyone continuing to treat her like shit, which is understandable. Nothing implies that she's a sperg.

Starlight is also a little too... self-centered, I guess, unaware of what is and isn't socially or morally acceptable (Every Little Thing She Does being the prime example). She grew up anti-social and used to bending everything to her will, which is something she is only now after all these years trying to steer clear from. There's a difference between what she did and what Twilight did in LZ over her fear of failing.
Rarity and Trixie would be a fun duo as well, I could see Trixie playing on Rarity's nerves really quickly. They had that one comic (Friends Forever?) together where they had to cooperate on Sapphire Shores' show costumes and effects. I don't remember too much about it anymore, but that's probably good since it means I wasn't bothered by something stupid in it.

>>29893871
>She grew up anti-social
No she didn't. She grew up with one friend who eventually left her and treated every other friend as her own property. Nothing autistic about that, unless you're unaware of how people act yourself. Plenty of non-mentally ill people are like this with their friends.

Twilight did literally the same thing in LZ when she mind controlled a huge group of people into loving a doll.

I think those two could work out. It would be a bit like Rara and AJ, except Trixie would be a different kind of annoyance for her. It would be nice to show that Trixie needs to be more generous and Rarity is too generous.

Yes, she grew up with one friend who left her town when he got his cutiemark (so still as a colt, and I'm glancing over the fact that apparently mail wasn't a thing back then and neither was visiting, I guess) and then Glimmer decided to shun cutiemarks, refused to make new friends and grew up closed in, studying magic to remove CMs and mind control people or what not. If you're being a loner overtly attached to one friend until you're 10 and then spend your teenage years being emo and outright refusing to make friends, that classifies as antisocial to me.

The bottom line of what happened in LZ and ELTSD is the same, the conditions are very different though. Where Twilight is beyond a nervous breakdown, believing she is rightly fucked if she doesn't think of something, she, panicking, thinks of creating a friendship problem with the CMCs. Give them the doll, tell them that sharing is caring, write a letter, done. They don't like it so she forces them, without thinking the consequences through. Shit spirals out of control.
In ELTSD, Starlight is scared of doing friendship lessons because she might disappoint others. Somehow, by doing all five at once (prior to any mind control plans), this fear goes away. I'm not sure how that conclusion was reached. Trying to do all of them obviously fails, so she decides to turn the M5 into her mind controlled slaves. There's no last minute panic, there is no spell gone wrong, she rationally thought this was okay, it was intended. You can actually see that at the end of the episode, because she doesn't even feel bad about what she's done. Or, in better words, "I feel bad not because of what I was doing, but because I was caught doing it," and then she openly tries to figure out how to mind control her friends better so she could get away with it later on. Her moral compass is fucked.

Rara and Trixie both enjoy theatrics, but they would soon find out it's not always so pleasurable for the other side. That'd be a fun ep.

>>29894149
>and I'm glancing over the fact that apparently mail wasn't a thing back then and neither was visiting, I gues
They honestly don't seem to write to each other too often. They prefer to visit, and she was clearly too shy to do so. Also, I remember her feeling ashamed that she didn't get in with him.

She spent her time studying like that, but she technically made friends in that town of hers, regardless of what her secrets were. I should concede that she was a bit anti social as a child.

She gave the problem to everyone else as well. Big Mac got in trouble with the paper because of it. Starlight flipped out that she might disappoint her teacher, as did Twilight, and resorted to mind control, as did Twilight. The main difference was the magnitude of the spells. Starlight's was a powerful one, which is horseshit as it did basically the same thing as Twilight's. so it caused massive headaches to the girls. All Starlight did was mind control them to doing the things for her, like Ponks baking and Dash looking for a spot to chill, it wasn't a slave deal exactly. No more than Twilight turning others into a doll obsessed slave.

She didn't exactly plan it all out as she panicked when they all came on her and jumped into a book to find a spell to use. She flipped out the same way Twilight did in LZ, only there was no one to constantly tell her to calm down.

Starlight did all of the shit in that episode in the season ending, but she wasn't being judged on it, so it wasn't so bad. If anything, she has anxiety over failing tests and disappointing, which is a common thing, and not autism.

Didn't she go and apologize to everyone for fucking around with them? If anything, having such a moral compass just means that she's a sociopath, not a sperg. I'd like to see them dig deeper into this for some real character development.

>>29894149
>>29894205
Do they really? I haven't seen the newest episode, so I can't confrim. I know that Trixie can make roses appear, and has a fashionable cape and hat, so they could fool around with that. All in all, I believe that they have more in common than they both realize, and it would be fun to see them eventually coming to that realization and becoming good friends in the end.

When Sunburst moved away he or she could've visited each other, or just stay in contact. Makes me wonder if Starlight has (had) any parents, because that's some lousy parenting. Calling the ponies of Our Town "technically friends" is still stretching it, I'd say.

In Lesson Zero, you have Twilight at the brink of insanity, desperately trying to think of something to make the CMCs fight over the doll. It seems the Want It, Need It spell is something she hasn't really ever tried casting, though, since she doesn't know how it operates. So she tries to take the doll from the CMCs, fails, enrolls Big Mac, it snowballs from there. At that point Twilight already knows she colossally fucked up, regrets her decision and, when Celestia steps in, is ready for punishment.

In ELTSD, you have Starlight taking on five tasks at once out of something that is part anxiety and part laziness (really, I still don't understand how "I'm afraid of doing one friendship task -> I will do all five at once" is a logical train of thought), and when she encounters her first hurdle, she decides to assume direct control over her friends. Even the spell is on another level (charm a doll/direct control, and yes, it is a slave deal when they have to obey every command). She thinks this through, justifies her decision and expects to actually be praised for doing this (and congratulates herself). She then proceeds to boss her "friends" around for roughly a half of the episode and while Twilight is out there fixing everything she just sits there thinking how to mind control her friends better. She only feels bad when she's told to.

Yes, on a very basic level LZ=ELTSD, but the intent, the circumstances, the magnitude, the lack of regret, that's all different. Though I am not arguing about whether or not she's a sperg or autistic or whatever. I'm arguing that what she has done was worse than LZ, and that she lacks a moral compass because of it.

Oh god I can't even fit in the character limit.

Her apology doesn't feel like it's enough to me simply because of the scale of what she did. We're not talking murder, but it's still serious physical harm, break of trust, and, well, fucking mind control. The fact she got away with it with a simple sorry is bullshit. And she also apologized more because Twilight told her "This is bad and you should feel bad, now go say sorry". The whole episode and what she's done is so insane I cannot see that apology as sincere, because to me she is just deranged.

>>29894211
Trixie is a "magician" who likes to put up a show. She's an entertainer, always talks highly of herself, so on. Rarity is a drama queen, no doubt. Theatrics is something they have in common.
Plus there's still the unsettled score with the green hair.

>>29889097
She's going to get a fuckawful "Hey Sweetie Belle, let's do kiddy shit we never did when you were a kid! I, the most socially smart of the mane six, will fail to see what's wrong with babying my no-longer-baby sister when I could be working!" and that'll be it. Maybe a few "She exists and is the prissy one" moments in the episodes of others.

Fuck Miller.

>>29894440
>When Sunburst moved away he or she could've visited each other, or just stay in contact.
I know this, my point was that most ponies, nor kids, don't seem to do this. At most my friends and I would call each other on the phone occasionally.

They sure seemed like good friends in the S6 finale. They also seemed to like her and that white horse was her friend in the S5 opener.

Her insanity was caused by her own craziness. She was told to calm down, but freaked herself out and mind controlled people. Starlight was given a second chance, one that she seems to fret over because she's afraid that people don't really forgive her, and panicked to ensure that she'd pass the test.

It really isn't more of a slave deal than the love spell. She was afraid of failing and took control, which is what she does very well if the S6 finale is anything to go by. If by bossing her friends you mean telling them to do what they were doing anyway without her, then yeah, she treated her "friends" like slaves. She feels bad when she realizes she fucked up.

Twilight decided that mind controlling people into having a friendship problem was a good idea so she could be praised by solving the misery that she herself caused. Sounds like she had the intent of hurting people, while Glimmer didn't.

The only thing that makes Starlight worse in this instance was the magnitude of the spell. I'd say that at most, what they did was equal as they were just a different way to do the same thing, and her not having a moral compass is questionable as she clearly regrets doing the bad shit she did and is desperate to be forgiven for it. Lacking a moral compass would be bugbutt who would rather curse her people to an eternal hunger than let there be peace.
>>29894483
What she did was have something spiral out of control and fail at fixing it. No malice intended, so an apology is fine for me since Twilight did the same thing and all she got was the princess telling her not to freak out again.

All that was caused for harm was a headache. Take some pills and they're over it. Break of trust is no worse than mind controlling children.

What did you expect her to do? Beg for mercy and get whipped? She could have given a half assed apology, but give a sincere one in front of everyone.

There is no proof that she's deranged at all, just unaware of how to act with people. Deranged would be if she did it, laughed and gave a shit apology because it was that or get kicked out.

Rara puts on a show with her singing group, and since human Trixie can sing, I assume pony can too. I'd love a duet with the two.

Oh shush, since when Rarity and Sweetie episodes are bad? They can't possibly fail such an easy concept of one of the most empathic ponies understanding that her little sister isn't a literal baby anymore, right? Surely she won't act absolutely oblivious and Sweetie won't lose her temper over her sister's attepts to spend time with her, right? I mean we're long past that.

>It really isn't more of a slave deal than the love spell
It is, because the M5 were literally her slaves. Twilight had no control over the ponies in LZ, that was basically the root of the problem.
Twilight insanity was caused by herself, agreed, although her friends probably should've tried harder to stop her instead of laughing it off at the picnic iirc, that's kinda why they run to her defense at the end of the episode.
The difference in their decisions is that for Twilight this was her last chance - she tried being reasonable about the friendship report, and this was absolutely her last shot (in her eyes, at least) that she could take, so she took it. For Starlight, mind control is the first thing on her list after encountering the first problem in a challenge she made harder for herself without any solid reason.
Intent is also different. Twilight didn't want to mind control the ponies, she just wanted them to fight over the doll and motivated them to do so with force, intending to immediately break it up before any real harm occurred. Glimmer wanted to mind control the M5. She knew what was going to happen, that was her goal, and she was perfectly fine with it.

>as she clearly regrets doing the bad shit she did and is desperate to be forgiven for it.
Where exactly in the episode does that happen? Before or after Twilight told her that instead of thinking about a better mind controlling spell, she should feel bad? Before or after Twilight and Spike told her that she's missing the point?
She felt bad because she was told to.

>>29894549
I wasn't expecting anything different considering this is a kids show where being sorry is all you need to be forgiven. But she shouldn't have been forgiven on a dime by the Our Town ponies, by Twilight in the S5 finale, and by the others in ELTSD.
As for deranged, well, she was all but laughing while doing the spell and had to be told to go and apologize, so I definitely wouldn't cross "deranged" out.

Here's a question for everyone here: is Rarity's last name Belle? Does she have a surname at all?

File: 1419374345842.jpg (63KB, 879x653px) Image search: [Google]

63KB, 879x653px

>>29896024
Probably Belle, like Fluttershy's is Shy, Rainbow Dash is implied to be a Dash and Ponks is a Pie. I'm just wondering if Twilight's last name is Twilight, since her mom is Twilight Velvet.

>>29896024
Ponies don't have last names.
They just have names, some of which have more words in them than others.
Familes tend to have names that fit a common theme due to a combination of tradition and nominative determinism.

The alternative leads to bizarre and awful ideas like
>Cup Cake was named Cup *something else* before she got married but then she changed it and took up baking
or
>Cup Cake and Carrot Cake are actually brother and sister and didn't think things through all the way when they picked an unrelated stallion to give them some foals
and
>Twilight Velvet is horse-Japanese and Twilight is her (and her daughter's) surname
not to mention
>the Flim Flam bros' full names are Flim Flam and Flam Flam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ydBkyCXfao

Rarity's full name is Rarity.

>>29896271
>Ponies don't have last names.
This is completely wrong. Rainbow Dash called Fluttershy's parents "Mr. and Ms. Shy".

>>29896037
WhiteDiamond is a jewel.

>>29896334
Fluttershy's parents' names are Mr. Shy and Mrs. Shy.
Again, the alternative, in which the Cakes consistently address each other by their full names, even when talking to their foals
>Mr. Cake: Uh uh uh uh, we don't chew on things, Pumpkin Cake.
, and Pinkie's mom is Cloudy Quartz Pie and Applejack's sister is Apple Bloom Apple and Rarity's dad is Hondo Flanks Belle, but Rainbow Dash is just Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle is just Sweetie Belle, but Fluttershy is Fluttershy Shy for some reason, is too stupid to seriously consider.

>>29896603
>>29896271
>>29896087
>>29896024
I think we can sum it up by saying that names are inconsistent. It seems some families prefer to have surnames, like the Pies and Cakes. Some prefer a general theme, like the Apples. Rarity's family names, however, are just all over the place. There are no rules they must follow.

As for Mr. and Mrs. Shy, I suppose they simply elected to give their daughter a one-word name.

Twilight Velvet and Night Light are credited as "Mrs. Sparkle and Mr. Sparkle" in their one speaking role. Let's not pretend that we actually know the names of Fluttershy's parents.

>>29896603
You just proved my point.
>>29896765
Not exactly. The only people who are really inconsistent are the Apples. Everyone else, Dash assuming, has the last part of their name as their last name. Ponies are just inconsistent with calling people by their full names.

They more than likely call her by her full name, like Twilight, Pinkie, and probably Rainbow.
>>29896781
>Let's not pretend that we actually know the names of Fluttershy's parents.
We do know their names, or their last names rather, which is all I was saying. That shows that ponies do indeed have last names.

>>29897013
>We do know their names, or their last names rather, which is all I was saying.
But Twilight Velvet's full name isn't "Twilight Velvet Sparkle," nor is Night Light's "Night Light Sparkle." That isn't attested anywhere.

What you're calling surnames are more like associative titles, like calling John Smith's wife "Mrs. John Smith." There's no reason to believe that Fluttershy's parents are handled any differently.

>everyone else
Where is Rarity given a family name? Where are Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles given a family name? Where does this exist anywhere outside your headcanon?

>>29896024
Sadly I wish I had a good one to throw out. Let's me add a little more personality to her in my day dreams.

>>29897036
When did I say we know their last names? I said it's assumed that theirs is Sparkle, and according to >>29896781 they are.

Don't be a jackass. They were literally called, and credited as, Mr. Shy and Ms. Shy. I don't know which country you're from in which people just call each other whatever last name they feel like, but in mine they use their surname, unless of course they use their maiden names.

Hondo Flanks and CC aren't relevant in the slightest, and I never said they gave Rarity a last name. I specifically said "probably Belle", you jackass. Learn how to comprehend what you read.

They're credited with those names because that's how they're written in the script, which the writers don't always expect us to see. Larson fell prey to this in his Slice of Life panel, where he declared it absurd that Hasbro would force him to change Derpy's name to Muffins in his draft. "But why?" he said. "No one will see it!"

As for why the script would say Mr. Sparkle, or Mrs. Shy? There are plenty of reasons. Pulling straight from asset filenames (this is why Cloud Chaser is sometimes called Stormwalker), or maybe the writers just weren't aware, or maybe it was a placeholder left in after the fact. We have many, many ponies with multiple (conflicting!) names because of these, like Cookie Crumbles/Betty Bouffant.

Anyway. You're taking a very flimsy concept and expanding it to literally every other character in the show, when the overwhelming evidence says that pony names just don't work that way. They're very loose concepts that are often, but not always, centred around themes common to their clan. Sometimes this results in a pattern, and sometimes it doesn't. It definitely is not universal.

>I don't know which country you're from in which people just call each other whatever last name they feel like, but in mine they use their surname
Sure. On Earth, in the current day. But family surnames are a pretty recent concept. Historically, it was all bynames, epithets, patronymics, occupational titles, etc -- not family surnames. "Leif Erikson" was named as such because he was the son of Erik the Red, not because his father was named Erikson. And in "Leonardo da Vinci," da Vinci is not a surname; all it means is "Leonardo of the town of Vinci."

Sorry for the long-winded post.

That doesn't make something less canon. Just means that we aren't supposed to know of it.

No, I'm taking a fact and expanding it to those characters who are affected by it. Are you really this retarded to where you can't read?
>pretty recent concept
Once again, this isn't relevant. FiM is already modern with the way things are. Whatever ancient aspects it had in S1 are gone as they're technically advanced, and follow American culture, which would in fact imply that they all have last names.

>>29897219
Alright, anon. If these are familial surnames, tell me why they only use one-word names for Rarity, Scootaloo, Cheerilee, et al in the same context as Twilight Sparkle, Sweetie Belle, and Rainbow Dash.

You're telling me to read? Use your context clues, and take on the burden of proof.

It can't be personal uptightness, because Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are hardly uptight. It can't be differing occasions, because one-, two-, and three-word names are commonly spoken together in the same context. So what is it?

Despite well-mannered and reserved behaviour Rarity is a big bundle of joy inside. Ponk brings it out in the best way (though sometimes they overdo it a bit in my opinion).
On the other hand Pinks can be really girly and she can easily connect with Rarity because they're both pretty empathetic. She's not a stranger to Rarity's interests unlike say Dash or AJ, just as Rarity can get Pinkie pretty well.
Sometimes it almost seems like Rarity tries to act like an adult towards childish Panka, that's her natural trait and it balances them well. Making Pinkie more grounded isn't easy but if anyone can do it, it's Rarity.

>>29899912
She gets along well with all of the mane six.

>>29900051
True, but her and Penk have a relatively unique friendship; one that's not based on a gimmick like lol opposites (Applejack) or we're so feminine (Fluttershy), but on general companionship.
They rarely seem to be doing anything specific when they're together.

That's pretty rare in cartoonland.

She's differently not, she finds her more noisy-annoying if anything else.
I don't believe anyone in m6 except maybe RD really connects with Ponk and even she outright calls her "annoying" on occasions, Ponk's just that kind of a pony - she have a lot of "friends" but no really close friends like Rarity\Fluttershy.

They're both outgoing ponies and we know that Rarity has a silly side to her. Plus she has enough patience to put up with Pinkie's bullshit. Pinkie brings out (or tries to) the child inside Rarity, even when she's attempting to be serious.

Rarity and AJ grew up in the same town, but there's no indication they were childhood friends. Recognising a name (especially in a small town) doesn't mean you're someone's friend necessarily.

AJ knowing the name of a Ponyville resident is not really proof that they are childhood friends. Maybe classmates, at best. If you consider how they couldn't stand each other in LBYS, them being childhood friends is not really plausible.

>>29904309
>>29904311
Considering she didn't know any of the either girls, Fluttershy included, implies that they were friends. Rarity wasn't a fashion mogul, nor is the town that small. Also, they were friends normally and there is no reason to suggest that they wouldn't be friends as kids, especially since she left the city early.

Friends have fights all of the time. They also have disagreements. They sure seemed fine being with each other in the S1 opener, and in the Applejack episode.

>>29904321
She didn't know any of the others because they never lived in Ponyville in that timeline. In all timelines, AJ and Rarity are the only Ponyville natives.

Because none of the girls were in Ponyville you dense motherfucker. The Rainboom didn't happen in those timelines. Fluttershy never fell off the sky, Pinkie never left the rock farm, Twilight never succeeded at hatching a dragon and we don't really even know why Dash lives in Ponyville.
And if they were childhood friends, why would they still be ironing out their relationship in the show? You'd think that if they spent years together at that point they would already be used to each other at least on Made in Manehattan-tier, not like what we got in S1.

Are you one of those jackasses who believes that friends never fight? You believe that you can never get pissed at people you like? Leave your fucking house, idiot. Also, Dash lives in Cloudsdale and never moved to Ponyville.

>If the village is as small as you claim, then there is no way they wouldn't have been friends.
I can tell you didn't grow up in a small town.

Anyway, we've never seen them doing anything as children together, so the only source to go on is the fact that one recognised the other's name. This means all of jack and shit as far as actual friendships go. Simply knowing a person does not mean they're your friend.

>Also, Dash lives in Cloudsdale and never moved to Ponyville.
How can one person be so wrong?

"Rainbow Dash: I'll tell you what -- making this party epic! 'Cause this isn't just any birthday. It's also the anniversary of when I moved to Ponyville!"

>>29904354
I can tell you have no clue how people actually work. Unless one of them was different as a kid, they'd have been friends as kids as they are as adults.

We hardly see anything of them as kids. She knew her name, they grew up together, their personality didn't change much, in fact their sisters are similar and are best friends.
>lives in a cloud mansion not in ponyville
It's very shaky were she lives at best.

Regardless, we know very little of any of their pasts, and all we have is guesses based off snippets of information. What we do know is they've known each other the longest, which gives them a unique friendship. The only ones to rival it are Fluttershy and Dash.

>since they are the only two to live in Ponyville as a child, that makes them childhood friends
No, anon. There is no proof they were friends as foals, and just because they live in the same village doesn't make them such. Are you childhood friends with every classmate you had? We don't even know if they visited the same school. It's safe to assume so, but we do not know. You don't even see AJ anywhere in Rarity's flashback in the Cutie Mark Chronicles. There is no mention they go that far back, you're just making assumptions.

>friends never fight
Of course they fight and argue, but they don't get mad over basic shit like this. That's the difference in how AJ's and Rarity's relationship improved over time in the show. I have friends I know for 10+ years, they are indeed childhood friends, so I already know what to expect of them. You learn to expect, tolerate and accept their negative sides. You don't flip out at a basic character trait of theirs after dealing with that same character trait for ten years. Rarity wouldn't get butthurt over AJ being a mudpony in LBYS to the point she doesn't want to be in the same room with her if they were friends for so long. Later on in the show it gets much better. AJ doing mudpony stuff is more of an "ugh" eyeroll moment instead of "oh my fucking god, I'm leaving".

>Dash lives in Cloudsdale
Already proven wrong above.

Why must you assume they they absolutely had to be friends just because they lived in the same place? The only reason the mane 6 are friends now is because Twilight brought them together. They didn't really hang out before that, they had no reason to. Why would a farmer, a fashionista, a party pony, a weather pony, and an animal-loving recluse hang out together?

>But they lived in the same town, they had to hang out
No. That's not how it works. In season 1, they were still learning about each other, indicating that they were not very close before Twilight brought them together.

Actually, while that would make sense considering season one (and it's still headcanonned for me), I'm afraid S7E1 shits on that, because in one of Celestia's flashbacks you can already see the M6 sans Twilight hanging out and being friends. I plan to treat it as just a background gag and Celestia's hazy memory because all five of them knowing each other doesn't make sense, but strictly speaking that's how the show says it is so that's how it is.

>>29892538

An episode about Twilight is trying to teach Rarity "real" Unicorn magic, because Twilight thinks that Rarity is just wasting her magic in silly thing like fashion. It could make lots of sense in season 1, were Teilight is still learning about friendship and stuff, but now is way too late for that, well they could still make something like that but with starlight instead of Twilight...

I don't think Twilight would ever think like that but it can be more of Starlight thing, I can see that.

If I remember it correctly Twilight herself copied Rarity's spell one time. And Rarity also volunteered to test Twilight's wing spell. In S1 magic was less commonplace and seemed a lot harder to master, so I never thought that Rarity is "weak" since she's so precise with her magic. Frome sewing to trasforming leaves and branches into pony shapes to teleporting a vest onto a pony, she did everything casually. Such mundane applications of magic contrasted Twilight's academic and serious approach, pushing herself and learning constantly. They had a very special dynamics being the magic users of the group but they are rarely together these days so it lost its charm a bit.

Back then, magic was more magical. That might sound stupid, but there were these small quirks to it. Twilight with the triple corona when banishing Ursa Minor, exerting herself with teleporting, Trixie with the show stage magic, Rarity with the branches and gem finding, it was like everyone had their innate magic basically tailored to them and their cutie mark. Just like their auras were different, so were the spells they knew, everyone had their skillset. Learning new magic was possible, but difficult, because what came to one unicorn naturally would be completely foreign to another one.
Sadly it didn't last long. Regular unicorns just do basic levitation spells, Twilight (and later Glimmer) do whatever the fuck they want. We have laser beam battles, powerful amulets, ancient tomes. In some ways the "lore" expanded, in some it shrank, and I don't want to be the judge of which way was the right one, nonetheless the cute small scale, somewhat mysterious concept is long gone.

Man, I guess I already suppressed that sloppy scene in my memory. It just doesn't reconcile with how they interacted in season 1... My only explanation for this is that it was not a precise visual representation of a memory, but an idealization of it. Yet, she did still call them "friends"...

Ugh, why did K&J ruin this? I want to like them because they wrote Gauntlet of Fire and helped with Rarity Investigates... These episodes were otherwise fine, but with this scene and Castle Sweet Castle, it makes me wish those two would never touch story/continuity ever again.

I've never been one to ignore canon, but this mistake is just too egregious. I can't handle it.

Well, to be fair, if any unicorns were able to do all kinds of magic, it'd be those whose special talent is magic like Twilight and Starlight.

With Twilight learning and pushing herself, she can now perform spells with ease, whereas they used to take great effort. She has grown, and now she can teleport and shoot lasers on the fly. Helps that she's an alicorn... Glimmy, on the other hand, has had nothing better to do. No friends, no obligations, she just practiced wizardry I guess. So of course she can cast barriers and lasers instantly. She's about Twilight's level, potentially even more advanced in terms of spell knowledge. Twilight's raw alicorn ability puts her on another level.

Rarity, on the other hoof, can flawlessly multitask and cast simple beautification spells. They seem to just come naturally - I doubt she expressly practices these things. Magic comes from within, right? With Rarity's personality, those kinds of spells just pour out of her, especially when inspired.

>>29905131
The scene was obviously made for time-constraint reasons. The point was that Twilight should make friends with those five ponies Celestia picked. The point was not that they were already friends beforehand. It's just easier to represent in a few seconds of screen time if you show them all together. It's not an intentional continuety error, it's just sloppiness. Yet you keep treating it as if it was the main focus of the entire episode. So much nit-picking.

I absolutely agree with that, somehow the magic, well, just lost it's magic. Something like learning a spell or even borrowing another pony's spells was already a feat of skill. Growing a mustache was a thing Twilight had to actively learn how to do. It's almost scary how powerlevels shifted over time. By the time Twilight's Kingdom aired it wasn't even that impressive.
The other thing is I think with the low-key magic of S1 it was easier to be creative with it, a lot of spells wasn't universal. Something Trixie did in Boast Busters was pretty much unique to her and it was impressive. From there we went to it not even being "real" magic. And Starlight is just a completely different case altogether, at that point they obviously didn't care. And now we're getting that "anger magic" or whatever. How much more of a special snowflake can she get?
Not everything needs to be JJBA levels of creative magic powers but what we have now just seems a bit lazy. Lazers are about the most boring thing you can do with magic. I'm surprised that we've seen a new Twilight's spell in CA, almost forgot it was a thing at all.
Twilight herself doesn't even focus on academic magic anymore which is a shame. Wouldn't mind her taking after after a very specific asthmatic shut-in librarian she was being compared to so much in S1, writing her own spells and combining them to make even more. Seems like cutiemark magic is her field now but it's yet to produce any results.

>>29905229
Uh, how?

>>29905243
Twilight is the princess of friendship now... I don't think she has the time to practice magic now, especially with having Starlight as her student. But now that she ""graduated"", maybe she can take some time to learn things.

Eventually you will reach the state where you stop considering certain oversights and inconsistencies as canon. Basically making your own headcanon, but not by adding stuff, only removing some nitpicks here and there. It's where I have ended up being. You have to face the facts that caring so much about the lore and every single detail takes an extra amount of weaponized autism that the show writers don't care for.

I really hate that magic power buff that came thanks to Twilight and Glimmer. Glimmer wasn't even THAT powerful a unicorn until Haber buffed her nonsensically for no discernible reason.

If it means anything though, despite constantly being around these crazy powerhouses, Rarity does seem as a talented unicorn herself with everything she's able to control and manage at once. I'd like to think that she's actually really good with more percise, delicate magic as opposed giant laser beams and the sort of that nature. She does have some knowledge of things beyond basic levitation as she could use a gem finding test.

>>29905243

I like to think that unicorns have a limited mana pool. You can train yourself like you would train your stamina and physical abilities, but at a certain point you just won't be able to do any more magic. You can still learn new spells, but you can't keep casting hellfire for half an hour and be okay because you studied hard. Everyone is born with a certain skillset and mana pool given by their cutiemark, which can be expanded upon with further studying and training. Twilight, being the element of magic and now an alicorn as well, can of course do all sorts of advanced spells. I was more pointing out how we went from what seemed to be "each unicorn has special spells, but this purple one is better at them" to "unicorns levitate stuff and the purple one could genocide Equestria in two minutes".

>>29905243
I'm not actually sure at all how to feel about the whole anger magic. It's a completely new concept that might explain (retcon) some things, but it introduces so much new bullshit. So unicorns are leaking magic if they're not using it now?
You're right, though. The power shift is insane.

>>29905258
I really liked Glimmer as the villain who studied one spell really hard to exploit other ponies and do her own thing. I didn't even take her as magically talented, I assumed she simply spent her life learning that one single spell. Then the show did a 180 and Glimmer is now (almost) alicorn element of magic-tier. Huh.
Rarity has precision where the others have brute force, but it's not like the delicate magic is anything extra, it's simple telekinesis. We could argue about how many things she can control in air while powered by the magic of song animation, but I don't think there's any point in doing that.

>>29905293
Still do, still tune in every Saturday to watch it live.

>>29905283
All friendship is magic but not all magic is friendship magic. Of course Twilight studies friendship and cutiemark from the stendpoint of magic, as an academic pursuit - even calling it friendship science. The thing is though, it's unclear what it can be used for. A lot of things happened before she began the study and she had nothing to apply it to. The Cutie Re-Mark was the closest thing to it but it didn't even take a lot of science.
The very fact that "science" is basically a lost concept in the show already speak volumes about how much it changed.

>>29905311
>Still do, still tune in every Saturday to watch it live.

You're a funny guy, though I don't know what got you so invested into this unless you're expecting a (You) harvest.
For your amusement: I still do enjoy the show, I like the new episodes for what they are, and I am able to treat them as the kids show they are, and not like they're the holy book or something. I still draw enjoyment from it simply because on a day-to-day basis I do not care about "oversights and inconsistencies". Because a few seconds long scene doesn't ruin the 22 minutes of pony. Just because I dare to criticize and acknowledge that there are oversights and that there are shitty episodes doesn't mean I am sitting here, screeching at the monitor every time Glimmer is on or the show gets something wrong. It's not perfect, but it's not shit either. World isn't black and white. Hopefully that satisfied your curiosity.
And next time, for a better bait, assume I stopped watching after S1. It would make more sense, because including S3 means including a garbage season and the dreaded MMC Twilicorn. And you get the bonus faustfag accusation points, too.

I'd disagree though that's it's a bit more than simple seeing exactly what she's done, how she manipulates things. Maybe that tips into headcanon territory since you can spend a lot of time arguing things (like you said the validity of magic in a song is debatable). Not to mention, she's an Element of Harmony, that has to mean she is a lot more than just average, (and I'd argue the same extension for the rest of the Mane 5 in respect to their pony types, and how they're different in their own ways). If that makes sense. And it's the only way to deal with the buff in my book, since the only thing that kept everyone on the same level was thrown out the window.

>>29905347
>oversights
Why do you call canon an "oversight"? Thinking like this you can call anything in the show an oversight and say "This whole episode was Spike's dream therefore it's not a canon".

>>29905368
What else to call canon conflicting itself? Is everything in the show canon? Do you think there are actually 5 Lyras in Ponyville? Did Maud Pie spawn out of nowhere? She wasn't in the family photos nor in the Cutie Mark Chronicles flashbacks.

>>29905368
And? So what? Why does canon matter?

So what if I want to say TWABA isn't canon, because instead the revenge of Chrysalis comic arc takes precedence. Who cares? If you enjoy it more that way, and aren't arguing with others about it, who gives a shit?

>>29905396
Canon is canon. You're free to enjoy the show however you like, and even believe in the magical highschool universe behind the mirror, but canon is not negotiable. When you're discussing the show you have to acknowledge it, headcanons need to go to the side.

Can we just say that M5 being friends before Twilight's arrival wasn't confirmed but also wasn't confirmed to be not true? I did assume that they weren't that close but ultimately the fact that they were friends doesn't change much. It's not unreasonable to think that introduction of Twilight changed a lot of dynamics in the group so at the point of her arrival it didn't matter that much.

>>29905404
Says who? You and your authority? Why? You're even already doing it yourself by acting like EQG can't be a part of it.

When discussing the show, yes what happens in the show needs to be addressed. But the conversation at hand, which arguably was a better one, involved more than that. "Headcanon" allows for differing viewpoints on the same matter, going off of what was presented in the show. Magic can be discussed, and here you see how people were talking about Rarity and magic when it wasn't exclusively discussed.

Again I go back to, what is canon? Because if you say literally anything in the show, you already accept the contradictions, and then things like MA Larson in the show thanks to SOL. Congratulations, humans are canon in Equestria now because of the basis of them appearing in a single frame. Oh also so is Slenderman I guess.

>>29905395
>canon conflicting itself
Mostly it's conflicting your headcanon, not itself. Animation mistakes and gags are completely different problem and have nothing to do with a canon.

>>29905396

>>29905416
>wasn't confirmed but also wasn't confirmed to be not true?
It is confirmed by Celestia herself.
>it didn't matter that much
It makes all the difference in the world.

>>29905424
Well I should've clarified that until CA it wasn't confirmed. But what difference does it make? What exactly does it contradict? I don't remember anything in the show saying that they were not friends at that time when Celestia saw them being friends (which is also not certain as it could be a month before the Celebration or a year).

>>29905436
>What exactly does it contradict
Nothing, I never said that, it's actually explains a lot.

>>29905421
I'm the other anon, the one with the oversights, fyi.
So yeah, I agree, what we talked about is mostly beyond canon and just our interpretations, but if the show states otherwise, you can't go against it. Or, you can't say something in the show works in a different way than how the show itself said it works. That's where canon steps in.
So yes, it's not hard defined, gags and inconsistencies should not be considered canon.
The whole argument is kind of pointless, though, it's not getting us anywhere.
>>29905424
If a third sister suddenly plopping out of nowhere is an animation mistake, why would the M5 hanging out not be the same? Is Maud my headcanon, or is her not being in the show at all prior to Maud Pie the episode my headcanon?

>>29905450
You never actually got around to explain what it explains.

>>29905421
There's a difference between something like a reference and a gag in the show and what we discuss as canon. Do you take everything literally, like Twilight literally combusting from being angry and not just usage of it as a gag? If something we discuss has been specifially adressed in the show, as in shown explicitly or discussed by the characters, then it's canon. Are we going to argue that tanks and bullets exist in Equestria because Rainbow Dash knows these words or something?
When it comes to something show already adressed there's no room for headcanons. You can have your viewpoint as long as you accept that it's not necessarily shared by other people when discussing the show.

>>29905466
>If a third sister suddenly plopping out
Twilight's brother suddenly popping out is an animation mistake too? There are things that just never was mentioned before for whatever reason and specifically written dialogue that explains something from the past.

>>29905466
>explain what it explains
There is a whole thread that tries to explain that and more >>29873556

That's a Rage Shift, Anon. It's explained in Past Sins. ^:)

>>29905517
We haven't seen Twilight celebrate with her whole family. Shining was never brought up, Maud was outright missing.
That's my point. It's not an animation error, nor a gag, and both of those things can't be canon. It's an oversight, an inconsistency.

And pardon my laziness, but all I see is the same old Celestia has a master plan theory that's been around since 2010, nothing about the M5's relationship, and people who somehow missed that Discord told Twilight that Starlight has to go. I don't really see anything concrete, but I don't have the time right now to read every post.

Honestly I should be asking you that question. Because what's the difference between a gag and an animation error, and how does that not mean canon? I mean, Derpy was an animation error and look how that turned out.

My point is it's pointless to argue over canon, especially in cases like this where it is heavily debatable when a writer makes something that is unexplained or can contradict things. Therefore headcanon is acceptable in this type of conversation.

But seriously, this whole talk of canon, everywhere, is annoying the hell out of me. Listening to people bitch all the time about EQG, the comics, the books, seriously just watch what you want and pick whatever the hell you want to be canon. Most of the writers don't watch the show anyway, do what you want.

She's the element because of her Generosity, not her inner magic. Yeah, she has that hidden power that gets unlocked with a really nice hug, but it's not something I'd imagine manifests into her daily life or her overall abilities. Her being an element doesn't give her a better magic, the elements don't give you a buff in any way.

You just have to learn difference between animation error and purposely written dialogue.

>>29905668
And there can be hundreds of explanations for the M5 being seen together, and only few of them involve them being friends. So how come your interpretation is the right one, and mine isn't?

>>29905668
I don't know why you think I'm the one who doesn't know that difference. I just said animation errors of how absurd it is to be that concerned with canon. When even "purposely written dialogue" has loads of faults. So I guess keep focusing on that less than serious comment when you have bigger problems to deal with.

If you want to play that game, I dare you to establish how much time has past since S1 strictly off of written dialogue. Like how at least a year, almost two has past between S1 and S5, yet Rainbow didn't have tank long enough to know he hibernates.

>Derpy was an animation error and look how that turned out
Yes, and she was a gag character, a nod to the fandom that animators inserted everywhere. It was a reference and nothing more. If at that time you'd argue that she's canonically named Derpy it wouldn't be true, and a lot of people argued about her name. Was she the one referenced in WWU for example and so on. But as soon as Rainbow said the word "Derpy" she became an acknowledged in-universe character that is canonically named Derpy and canonically a clutz. Yes it was retconned after but it still happened. And the retcon is now canon whether people like it or not.
>writer makes something that is unexplained or can contradict things
Nothing in CA contradicted what was previously shown. In regards to EQG it was already discussed above, FiM never directly acknowledged EQGverse and contradicts its existance, it is not canon to FiM universe. EQG had FiM universe in it so FiM is canon to EQG, but not the other way around.
>is annoying the hell out of me
Because it's for some reason important to you that it's canon. It doesn't have to be. I enjoy EQG and some comics even though they have literally nothing to do with FiM, just like I enjoy fanfiction and spin-offs. I don't think you should be bothered by it and insist that your point of view is correct. When we are discussing FiM we are discussing what only happened in it, not the extended universe, I don't see how that's a problem at all. I am in no way trying to police what you enjoy but when having a discussion it's presumed that we have an objective common ground that is show canon.

>>29905714
>Because it's for some reason important to you that it's canon
I think you misunderstood what I meant by that. It's the discussion of whether or not EQG is canon that annoys me, the constant bickering back and forth because someone appeared in the show, or whatever. What I meant was if EQG really shouldn't be canon to you, then don't let it. If you want it to be, let it.

When it comes to show discussion, let me clarify. In the context of show discussion and strictly show, like say the direction of where things are heading, or what's established, yes you're right the common ground is to think of just the show and that's it. But in stuff like this where things are debatable, I feel like it's okay to talk about headcanon and what you feel to offer different unique viewpoints.

I hope that clears how I feel up.

When will we get a Rarity-Trixie episode? I think that would be a really interesting interaction.

>Glimmer/Twilight convince Trixie to apologize more directly
>She also has to hang out with the other ponies and get to know them
>Rarity forgives her for the green hair and makes a dress/accessory for Trixie
>Trixie is vain, she loves it
>Rarity has basically found a living mannequin

Trixie does have great hair after all. Rarity can work with this.

>What I meant was if EQG really shouldn't be canon to you, then don't let it. If you want it to be, let it.
The question is why would I want that? It doesn't affect my enjoyment at all.
And the bickering would stop if people would stop making a big deal out of what's canon or not. Why would you want it to be canon? The fact that EQG is just a spin off of FiM doesn't mean it's bad or it's wrong to like it. I'd say it's partially because people insist that EQG is canon this board is so anti-EQG at times.
>But in stuff like this where things are debatable, I feel like it's okay to talk about headcanon and what you feel to offer different unique viewpoints
In matters unclear personal opinions come into play, as long as they are treated as opinions. If the show has direct proof that this opinion is invalid the point no longer stands. I know people like their headcanons and sometimes it's more important to them that the show. Especially if waifu fantasies. But when it comes to the show we have to play on even ground. Just separate the two, don't mix canon and headcanon and you can have it both ways.

I mean I'm not stranger to it as well, like for example I had a lot of theories about Rarity's parents before it was cleared up in S2. I had no problem with it even though had my own headcanon. It was undefined so it was speculation but once it was cleared up it was impossible to ignore. Imagine holding on to these headcanons to this day, being left out of any discussion concerning her family. That's just denial. I still love Simply Rarity though, fucking cried bitch tears the first time I read it back in the day, feels silly now

And I'm sure dashfags and applefags will deny whatever their family episodes will be. I can't say I'm not looking forward to that glorious fallout.

I just wish the show were more auteur-driven and had a consistent creative vision throughout rather than being cobbled together slapdash by the clueless hack of the week.
I'm not even a Faustfag: anybody with a coherent idea of how MLPFIM ought to be and the will to keep the writers and artists in line would do.

It should've been that right from the start. However there's no saying what the show would've been. It would surely not be this long. And whether or not I disagree with its direction sometimes I don't want it to be over.

I don't know, if that's really what you prefer, I'd say don't let anyone stop you so long as you don't try to talk over anyone with that with a conversation of Rarity's family.

>>29906772
>I'm speaking more towards that direction
In that regard I myself have a lot of things I prefer my own way. Ironically it is canon that there is no wrong way to fantasize, so with Celestia's blessing anything goes. I cannot condemn anyone for creating their own interpretation, as enjoyment trumps everything when it comes to such a deeply personal thing.
>Is it a fic worth looking uo?
I liked it back in 2011 but now it's probably just my nostalgia speaking, it's hard to take it that seriously now. At least it's pretty short.

>>29904990
>I plan to treat it as just a background gag
They all knew each other in the first episode.
>>29904922
>They didn't really hang out before that
Pure headcanon. Considering they knew each other before Twilight came in and were friendly to each other, it heavily implies that they were all friends before Twilight came in.

They weren't learning much about each other in S1, Twilight was. They were at most still ironing out some quarks.
>>29904431
You hardly see anyone in the CmC. Fluttershy and Dash are easily the longest of friends, but there is no reason to suggest that Rara and Jack never knew each other until Twilight came. Judging by Rara's parents, and that Jack only knew her regardless of the rainbow, it implies that she knew her before she knew the others. They have no reason to be enemies, but were all friends, so it makes more sense that they were old friends.

Friends most definitely get mad over basic shit. I know people who have fought with their best friends over stupid shit, they always make up, but it happens.

She was mad over her being dirty and forcing Rarity to get dirty as well. Apple Jack was mad that Rarity was putting more care in cleanness than getting things done. AJ is stubborn as was Rarity. Makes since that they'd fight.
>mud pony
Don't be a jackass.
>Already proven wrong
Hardly. She lives in a cloud mansion that's hardly within Ponyville's bounds, if at all. At most it depends on the episodes, like Fluttershy's cottage which is shown to be on the boarder of the forest, but at times within the towns boarders.
>Except we do not know, you have nothing to back this up with other than assumptions and headcanons.
Which is all you have to dispute it.
>>29905239
>The scene was obviously made for time-constraint reasons.
Always nice when someone tries to dismiss something because they don't agree. I'm sure a comic will have proven one of us wrong, but people will ignore it claiming non-canon.

>>29905293
>Her "gem finding" is a cutie mark related talent, not magic

This.

>>29905424
>It is confirmed by Celestia herself.
This. The first episode had them all as friends too. Twilight was the only one who didn't know or hang out with any of the group.
>>29905466
>If a third sister suddenly plopping out of nowhere
>>29905517

Retcons like this is exactly why that line in the first movie does nothing to make it less canon.

Well I just gave it a read anyway. I found it very sweet, and I think I can definitely see why you liked it, but for me I just think it's too much. I feel like there are a bit too many fanfics of people trying to give characters a depressing history, and it's definitely not exclusive to Rarity. I remember one group of people I spoke to prior to Flutter Brutter were convinced Fluttershy came from either a loud family or an abusive one.

Even before knowing her parents I hoped that she just came from a normal family, and I'm glad it turned out that way. I think you can definitely see how she grew up in that environment, and I find that really sweet.

Estee made an interesting backstory to how Rarity got her boutique. It's a bit harsh, about as much as you'd expect from a very young pony buying her own store, but I find it well thought out and mostly show friendly.

>>29907153
>Did she?
Yes. In one of the S4 episodes I believe. She says to Spike that she learned the spell from Rarity, which is stupid as it makes her "talent" generic.

Bullshit. That was filly Pie, and Maud is around her age. For one, she was just getting her degree, which would make her in her early or mid twenties, which is how old the M6 are. Two, she looks like the other young adults, and nothing like the older ponies.

This discussion is nothing but a shitstorm at this point. He contributed as much quality as the rest of you have. We should end it at this point as we aren't changing each other opinions and we're only pissing people off and going the way of the SSG.

>>29907125
Yeah, it was a product of its time, exploring a lot of darker themes and giving the show a more grim context, but at least without going too much OOC. Fluttershy was a prime target for that as well.
Her actual family was pretty fun in the show and explained some of her traits, I think it was handled really well.

>>29907173
>Maud is around her age
Even if she is what difference does it make? She still could've been playing with her friends (rocks), visiting some relatives or something.

Twilight Velvet looks like anyone from m6 but I believe that she's much older, or is she?

So basically she the offspring Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind and Real Desperate House Wives.

Well Twilight steals the spell right in the episode it's introduced. That was a really cheap solution for the episode (and it also doesn't make sense, why exactly the way with the most gems is the right one?), but considering it's the element of magic I don't mind her copying the spell so quickly overall, that's kinda her thing.
So to backtrack all the way before we started shitflinging about canon, that was already one of the first steps where magic started losing its magic. They took something that was unique and turned it into something common in the matter of like 10 seconds, and it foretold that the show won't go the way of visible unique magical talents for unicorns.

>>29907213

No. It suffers from the same problem every other MLP comic has. That being: Cool concept, horrible execution. You're better off finding a fic.

In a nutshell, it was littered too much with focus all over the place, on Luna, Spike, the Mane 5, Rarity, the execution of it was horrible (rather than being a corrupted Rarity, it was basically just Rarity used as a vessel so what even is the point?) it had about 4 issues that felt like nothing but buildup to something that never came.

You know, for the longest time I thought Rarity's special talent was finding gems. As a filly, her horn dragged her to the gem-filled rock, right? This caused me to believe Twilight was OP because she outright copied it.

But then I noticed exactly when Rarity got her mark. It wasn't when she discovered the gem-finding spell, it was after she designed the fabulous costumes for the play.

I'm glad I realized this, because it clears a lot of things up. I always wondered, why can Celestia raise the sun AND moon, when Luna (perceivably) can only raise the moon? I had assumed her special talent was raising the sun, so it seemed unfair that she could also do Luna's talent. But it seems that magic is not directly tied to cutie marks. The reason Celestia and Luna have their marks must be because they know how best to take care of their respective celestial bodies. But they both have very powerful magic, so I'm sure Luna could also raise the sun if she needed to.

Twilight Sparkle is still OP, btw. But not because of copying cutie mark spells, because it doesn't work that way.

But the question remains... Why did Rarity's horn drag her to the rock?

E.U.P. outfits are pretty different, at least what we've seen of them. Twilight got to wear that sick pilot jacket with shades.

It's so sexy. Fucking heels on hooves, man.

>officers never have different uniforms
youngfag, please go.

That's right. They were both different officers, right?

Twilight Sparkle's is a Top Gun reference. At least, I always assumed that. I haven't actually seen the movie.

Pinkie, Flutters and AJ represented some historic figures as well. It's definitely not just regular uniforms.

Aren't they for different branches, like AJ is the E, Rara is the U, and Twilight is the P? I was wondering if they were officer uniforms, or just for the members in general.

>Rarity's outfit is just the best
I agree. It always kinda bothered me that Rarity called it "unattractive." But you know, maybe she just wears it well. I am trying to imagine it on other ponies, and I don't think it would look as good.

Each uniform was worn by an important Wonderbolt. https://youtu.be/OjdOoN8LdJY
