I'm not extremely open about it. I mean I don't know anybody IRL to talk to it about (not saying yall aint real, I mean someone that I have met and can physically interact with), so there hasn't really been any need for me to talk about outside of the forum. Most all my friends know, I can tell that it kinda bugs them, even though they say they don't care.

Thank Celestia for this! I've been looking everywhere to find a good quality version of this song! At first It wasn't my favorite but it has really grown on me.

I'm pretty sure this might have been discussed before on a thread. So If it doesn't belong I apologize. In the premiere of Season 3, we see Princess Celestia using magic to show Twilight Sparkle the story of the Crystal Empire and King Sombra. However during this scene we see Celestia using what seems to be dark magic. As she uses her horn to summon, she says that "Hatred and fear take hold". Now first off she of course isn't speaking of her hatred taking hold, but the possibility that she can control her hatred is there. She uses this dark magic only to show Twilight what happened to the Crystal Empire, yes, but there could be more to that. When using this dark magic her eyes glow green and her horn has purple bubble magic around it, however when she destroys the evil crystal shards her eyes are glowing completely white. This magical appearance seems to be a bit different as well. Celestia's normal magic does not change her eyes to being white, and the bright yellow background may suggest that she is using a special magic. Later TS uses some of this dark magic and says that she learned it from Celestia. Seeing how dangerous the dark magic is, one could speculate to fully control it you would either have to be filled with Hatred and Fear, or have extreme control over your magic. Princess Celestia using this dark magic shows that maybe perhaps she has a little of evil in her. Now of course there is the fact that Twilight Sparkle uses this magic later on in the second episode of the premiere. She does struggle with the conjuring of, and after words she mentions that it was "a little trick" that Celestia taught her. Hearing that we could say that Twilight hasn't really learned all about dark magic, Celestia has only showed her a quick trick of the dark magic. Celestia's knowledge of the dark magic is never fully discussed however, but a similar magic is used by her and Luna to banish Sombra, which then turns him into shadow. Now of course he could have turned into shadow just due to the fact that he was defeated, because the magical beam coming forth from the sister was a beam of light. So again we see this "Light" magical power, which doesn't really seem like anything weird at all. Celestia controlling the sun would of course mean that she could use such magical powers. But is it possible that Celestia knows all about dark magic and just hasn't told Twilight anything about how to use it due to its darkness and hatred? Over in another thread there is the discussion that Celestia might be a manipulator and takes away free will from the ponies. Now I personally don't subscribe to that theory, but it does seem possible to me now that I think of it, and with the addition of dark magic I believe that maybe Celestia is a manipulator. She apparently isn't effected by the use of the dark magic, but how did she come to learn it, and was she ever affected by it?

No way is it to girly. I have one of my own. The only reason I don't wear it around my neck Is because I don't wear necklaces. I have it on my keys. Go and buy it, its awesome.

She was most likely torn limb from limb then the school kids ate her and devoured her soul..................oh..........um............I mean. She probably had to clean the school and then after time they all forgave her and they all lived happily ever after....................................................forget that first part.

Thanks dude. And yeah, Hot Topic must burn to the ground now. Hopefully there won't be anymore raids in my area, they come quick and deadly.

Yeah, funny thing recently I went to my local Target and the box was filled up (this was before i was buying the cards). I come back when I start collecting them and the box has been raided. Every trace of it is gone. Anyways, you are right Hot Topic charges way to much and mine barely has any MLP stuff. They said "MLP Wasn't cool anymore". But yeah Online seems to be the only choice, thanks.

You sir, should be a writer for the show. Such a simple idea yet so awesome. It would be awesome to see Spike as a pony, just for one episode however.

Does anypony know a good place to find the card packs? I mean all my stores are fully stocked on all cards except for MLP. My walmart carries around 20 Gala Tins (for 10 bucks each) and a couple of RD tins. But no matter how many times I look the MLP box is always empty, even though the other boxes are always getting refilled. Any idea where a good place to get them?

Fluttershy. Iron Will was just doing his job, Flutter just went way too far. Great episode, great story as well but yeah I think its Flutter's fault.

You're right. When people use it for everything then it is just unbearable. The T-shirts I don't find annoying, they are kinda cool, I just don't see them a lot.

Most of the time no not really. Sometimes when Its someone I know really well, and they either laugh or sorta insult me about it does hurt a bit. People are always gonna hate you. You kinda get used to it after a while.

After a while it gets a little stupid I think. I heard it a couple of times when I first started watching the show. Now it's alright but kinda tiresome.

My reaction to seeing the price on these shirts is like having a heart attack. I mean I don't expect them to be only 5 dollars or anything. But still I wish their price was a bit lower than they are.

I think they are taking orders now. Not entirely sure, but I do hope that they come out in stores. Not just hard to find stores but places like Target and Wal-Mart. Its so hard to find awesome pony merch without having to find an exclusive store.
