    Who says Roman Catholics (I presume you are referring specifically to Roman Catholicism) aren't traditional, happy, and loving? We certainly do not have married priests, though.

    I certainly like both Cadance and Shining Armor. For characters who could have easily been made milquetoast stock personalities, no more than necessary stand-ins to facilitate the events of "A Canterlot Wedding", the writers have provided both of them with unique traits which are consistent with the rest of the cast. In other words, Cadance and Shining are relatable as people, even if they occupy prestigious positions in society. The two of them take most everything in stride with a pinch of good humor. Cadance possesses an air of refinement without being a pompous Mary Sue who chews up the scenery and minimizes the importance of other characters. It's clear that she knows she is a princess, but she doesn't let her status contort her personality. I wish I could put my finger on it, but there is something about Cadance that leads me to believe she is not perfect---even if she has committed no major blunders thus far in the series. I could easily envision her being very honest about her mistakes and shortcomings. Shining Armor has a touch of the adorkable hero who is equally capable of leading a squad into battle to defend Equestria and being humorously embarrassed by his little sister. He's really the Captain America/Steve Rogers of MLP. I also think the surfer accent makes him a bit quirky. I guess people could dislike both of them for being too perfect a couple. I honestly don't get that vibe from them, though.

    Princess Cadance: "That over there is a crystal mud bath, which relaxes your body and rejuvenates your coat. After the crystal mud bath I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub." I'll add some substantive reflection later, but for now I'll just make a thinly veiled American Psycho reference.

    This can be nothing short of amazing. How many times have we (Bronies) joked about MLP in Japanese and how ridiculously awesome it would be to hear their names rendered in Japanese and such? Imagine the songs, too!

    I had the impression that Mane6 received the C&D several days ago but were only recently making it public. That would explain how they had the time to explore legal avenues.
  10. Yellow Diamond
    They would probably get in a lot of legal trouble for doing so. Anyone handling the commodity would then be subject to Hasbro's C&D order. Even though I wasn't on the edge of my seat waiting for Fighting Is Magic to be released, it is a bit of a gut-punch to see a staple project of the fandom shelved. I hope they can resolve this issue, but it's difficult to get projects like this back on track once the horse is out of the barn. I find it curious that two of their devs up and left. It is unclear from the blog post whether their departure is related to the recent legal issues.

    Well, the writers enjoy screwing with us. That has been pretty clear throughout this entire season. Prepare for the endless speculation as well as fanfics involving Rainbow's past, leading into a sad/heartwarming fic involving her and AJ talking about their parents.

    There is a difference between discussing the nuances of a topic with other members and engaging in a self-propelled conversation. The point is to foster interaction primarily between members within the thread, not with entities who cannot readily access the forums. You otherwise no longer require other participants. That defeats the entire purpose of a dedicated public thread.
  15. Yellow Diamond
    Blogs are a suitable place for such conversations. If members give you grief about the matter, you can content a member of the staff. Keep in mind that this topic should be generally available for all members. To repeatedly post conversations you had with your tulpa creates an imbalance in the topic, i.e., only those with tulpas could really understand and/or participate in those particular exchanges.
  16. Yellow Diamond
    Hey folks. This is just a friendly reminder to all participants in this thread that the discussion should remain focused on tulpas rather than entire posts dedicated to conversations with them. If a conversation helps elaborate on a technique or opinion, that is acceptable; anything else will be treated as off-topic. Thanks!

    Presumably she was sealed away with some sort of magic. The prophesy of the stars aiding in her escape and the revealed power of the Elements of Harmony strongly suggests a magic greater than Night Mare Moon's prevented her from leaving at an earlier date. One could argue that Celestia, recognizing she could no longer use the Elements apart from Luna, set it up from the very beginning so that Night Mare Moon's return would coincide with the Elements of Harmony bearers meeting each other. I vaguely recall an official source (perhaps Lauren Faust?) mentioning that Celestia always wanted to redeem Luna, but that banishment to the moon was the best she could hope for until the true bearers manifested themselves.

      Trust me: that's so esoteric that *I* don't know exactly what to make of it. That line comes from a former professor of mine, not from me.

      If one delves too deeply into a field, eventually one becomes like an infinite spring of wisdom with no mouth, knowing so much yet unable to share the knowledge due to pointless jargon deteriorating the overall quality of the spoken language.

      On the other hand, someone has to keep that jargon alive, lest we forget what it meant in the first place.

    Really?! How about that! Funny how we were so cautious and hidden about our affinity for Sailor Moon yet presently have few qualms with advertising MLP.
