    Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie are pretty good at representing their element as a core of what they do. Rarity and Rainbow Dash both show their element well from time to time, but it's not a central element of their character. Applejack doesn't just poorly represent Honesty, she lies a fair bit. Both to herself (Applebuck Season!) and others.

    Alright, chapter three has been posted: the first in a two-parter. This one weighs in at about 5,400 words. If anyone out there is complaining that people only ever use species shown on the show, this is a chapter you might like.

    Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Applejack. Twilight is plenty embarrassing, as is Pinkie Pie, but Applejack is being embarrassing while completely missing the point and being a yokel about it.

    What tropes are you seeing? Because while they're more capable in a dangerous situation than the average pony, I don't see much else. They more Chosen Ones than super heroes. They certainly don't actively seek out evil, they live happy mundane lives until it appears, and go right back to their happy mundane lives as soon as the threat passes. In a comic book, if Nightmare Moon hadn't been their call to heroism, Discord would have. Heck, their super powers are even super limited. There have been a grand total of three enemies they've tried to use them on, and a fourth we know they could have. All of the other threats they face, they're more action heroes than super heroes.

    It's been a bit of a longer wait than normal, but chapter two is up. This one is a bit lighter than the first chapter, only about 4,850 words. If anyone's played Planescape: Torment, there's a wonderful quote for this chapter: "Endure. In enduring grow strong."

    I know you're trying to be funny here, but didn't Thunderlane catch the flu from a female pegasus, rather than transmit it? He wasn't the one coughing.

    I'm pretty sure one was in the featured box on Fimfiction just in the past week. I say go for it anyway. Just because the idea's been done doesn't mean it's been done the way you'd do it.

    No, because My Little Pony isn't Secret Saturdays. Maybe not even Batman, because of what that meant to me when I was younger. My Little Pony has an easier time competing against my lesser loves, like Sym-bionic Titan, Outlaw Star, Garfield and Friends, Rocko's Modern Life, Adventure Time, Darkwing Duck, and Aladdin. That's not bad, though: Secret Saturdays is a tough act to beat.

    The Rainbow Dash belly button one, which was, like, the only one I've seen you with. >.>

    Pinkie Pie practically already is an alicorn. She merely uses highly advanced illusion magic to hide her horn and wings from her friends. That Pinkie. What a prankster.

    Wow. The Japanese version is pretty darn good. I think I have to give it the nod. The singing voice is somehow even better than the English version, and that's saying something.

    Where is the full-sized version of your avatar?

    1) More Luna. 2) An episode about Celestia and Luna's struggle against Discord (likely with the three reminiscing while Twilight listened). 3) The Cutie Mark Crusaders start earning their cutie marks. 4) Take us back to the Crystal Empire once or twice a season.

    No easy way to deal with Changelings was revealed in the comics. About the closest we ever got was Pinkie's idea of using costumes, which only helps you keep from being confused in the middle of a fight.

    I absolutely love the kind of analysis Digibrony does on the show. However, he has some opinions that I consider badwrong, and he also has the idea in his head that Celestia and Starswirl were contemporaries. I have no clue where that idea comes from, though I know it's taken up residence in fanon somehow.

    And Velvet posted a really big spoiler to issue #5 right there in the post. Although I suppose it doesn't matter much, as that issue is all exposition for what the arc of 6, 7, and 8 are going to be about. As a reminder, you still have time to find a local comic store, or if you cannot, then to go to Comixology or iTunes and buy the back issues while you wait for issue #6 to come out. ... Sorry, I'm a bit of a booster for the My Little Pony comics.

    The things that possessed her are still around, but they got booted back to the moon. They are... Shall I say... Still active... If you read the comic. Not in Luna, though. It actually looks like she gets to be a big dang hero resolving their latest attack, actually.

    Changelings. Everyone knows this: it's not even a contest. The parasprites are easily controlled once you know what to do, and the ponies already know what to do. Equestria is a land of plenty, so them eating the food in one area before someone can play pied piper isn't a very big threat. The Changelings, though? A hostile group of shapeshifters? How is this not a gigantic threat? Just about the only thing the ponies have going for them here is that the Changelings need them alive.

    The first few towns the Mare comes to might think her to be a curious, quiet sort. That's alright though: the Sisters have only just defeated Discord, and enough ponies bear scars caused by the tyrant for everypony to know when a mare just wants to keep to herself. The defeat of the King of Chaos isn't the end, however. Great beasts now roam Equestria, preying on its inhabitants. On her quest, to Sisters-know-where, the Mare will defeat the monsters, and finally bring peace to the nation. Read it on Fimfiction: The Mare With No Name Chapter one is up, and weighs in at about 5,350 words.

    I think I'm supposed to be laughing with you, HarmonyStar. I think so. If so, you have done a very good job and have my congratulations—nay! You have my admiration!

    Actually, considering the falls ponies have withstood without injury, I doubt the Changelings would have been much more than "annoyed" by being flung out of Canterlot. Never mind that each and every Changeling there was an invading soldier, and so even if they were hurt then nobody can complain. The comic portrays it much as I would expect, though: Changelings hit dirt, and immediately start grousing at having failed in their conquest (i.e. no wounds to tend to).

    Season three was a bit of a letdown, but not enough that I wouldn't buy it. Season four looks to be a bit better, from what I heard about the writing staff, so I'm certain I'll buy that too. Even if a particular season was pretty bad, though, so long as the series recovered by the end I'd go ahead and buy everything.

    Changelings are a predatory species that must prey on sapients; reasonably, they're going to be born with an innate disregard for the happiness of any kind of creature they feed off of. Good Changelings should be at least as rare as bad ponies: ponies just seem to be generally nice by nature, but there's no particular reason for this to be (at least not as strong as "if a Changeling is repulsed by the act of feeding it will at best become frail and at worst starve to death"). If the Changelings, as a species, were to feed ethically, they would need to be tightly integrated with a host society that was comfortable with the idea of offering up its citizens' emotions to a parasitic species. I can easily imagine, in a realistic setting, a Changeling ruler attempting to do this diplomatically. I can also imagine, in that same realistic setting, the Changelings being told to go to Tartarus. That leaves conquest if they want to feed on any real scale at all. So on one level you can say yeah, they just wanted to take over Equestria because they need to find hosts somewhere, no malice in mind. But you're gonna have a hard time saying that the Changelings would be particularly nice chaps to be around even in a world that accepted and accommodated their feeding habits.

    Realistically, there is pretty much zero chance that Twilight could convince me that Cadance was evil. She'd be certain to convince me of her sincerity though, for what it was worth, but that doesn't get her very far. I suppose she'd just be relieved to finally find someone who doesn't tell her that she or Cadance is just stressed, and instead wants some hard evidence. There's basically no way I'd see why everyone ostracized her at the end of the first part, though. Heck, I think that required making everyone else act out of character.
