I'm in a love-hate relationship with Twilicorn. I love a lot of the fanart for her, but I hate the actual canon stuff. I know there's not a lot of it yet, but it really disappointed me that the show had been reduced to shoving pretty princess crap down our throats. Perhaps that's because I've seen this stuff way too many times before: I'm a teenage girl who grew up in the 2000's, AKA the "Princess Era" of marketing. While princesses have almost always been a trope associated with young girls, it was around this time girl's marketing started to advertise them everywhere. Disney Princess merch was piled onto store shelves. Evil queens and princess heroines reigned over girls' entertainment. And this still continues today. Yes, I realize this isn't the first new princess to be added to FiM, but Cadance doesn't bother me too much since HALF OF ALL THE EPISODES don't revolve around her. If the writers give her some flaws then she'll be set. But Twilight is the main character of the series, and I wish Hasbro waited until the last episode to ascend her to royalty. Also, while I could very well be wrong, but Cadance seemed to cure her OCD in Games Ponies Play. And I'm sorry, but seeing Fluttershy say "You look just like a princess!" made me cringe. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe season 4 will be amazing. Maybe I'm just saddlesore. But making me wait 6+ months to find out isn't exactly helping.

Yeah, I believe that Twilight manages to bring magic to the human world. I actually like the wings and no horns deal, I always drew humanized ponies like that. Too bad they come with those freaky anthro ears and hair extensions.
