Now that everyone isn't drooling on the floor squirming from the official alicorn Twilight affair, it's time for me to state my opinion on the matter. I'm not going to say what I think of the incident, there's plenty of videos and posts about that already, I am instead going to tell you all what went through my mind while all of this was going down, and I will tell how to NOT act for future reference.

So, when I first saw the fake news from that so called "Hasbro employee", I was kind-of shocked, and it bothered me a little bit to think about Twilight as an alicorn, but it faded away as time went on. When I saw it was official, to be honest it didn't really bother me, the only thing I had any emotions towards this with is my theory on alicorn powers in general, which is that being an alicorn is a magical power and not a race, that is passed on to royalty and rulers of Equestria. Hearing Twilight will become an alicorn gave a strong support to my theory, but other than that, and the fact that Twilight looks amazing as an alicorn from the pictures Hasbro gave out , I didn't really care too much, I know it's just going to be another plot device, not really anything more, so why bother troubling myself with it?

That brings me to the next bit, the reaction. From what I've gathered, the fandom was about a 20/20/60% split, 20% hating the idea and in hyper-ventilation, 20% fully supporting the idea, and 60% that |don't really care/are nothing more than okay with/are waiting to see how it gets implemented and then decide their state on| the idea. So it was nothing too major, but really it should not have gotten the backlash it got, even if it's not that much, it did not deserve it.

So dear fandom, I here by decree that you have done okay, nothing more than that, and in the future, don't be so dramatic, it's just a silly show for little kids about talking ponies after all
