StormBlaze

So ponies, Nightmare Night is coming, lets talk about costumes!!! What would your OC dress up as? Or do you have a fave costume from the show? Stormy usually sports a Shadowbolts outfit, but she also takes on her Siren form around this time of year.

Tabitha, Rebecca (Equestria Girls more) and Kazumi Evans are my faves. Also liking Vincent Tong a bit more recently. The only one I have met in person is Peter New.

they are based on the Blue Angels, but as I am not American, I am not familiar with them and what they do. We do however, have our own variation of them, the Red Arrows. Which are military, but not used in combat, they are entertainment and a national symbol of morale. I assume the Blue Angels and Wonderbolts would be the same terms. BUT We have seen the Wonderbolts deployed as military units. The episode where Spike grows full size, its the Wondebrolts who attempt to come to the rescue as authority measures, but fail. The main one is the use of the Wonderbolts as an Air Force in the Crystal War against Sombra. Ok so its a different timeline and the Wonderbolts will likely have been reassigned to combat, but that would not have taken effect until Sombra returned. We would note that peace in the timelines are the same until the Crystal Empire returned. Then there is the History of the Wonderbolts. Originally they were part of the Royal Equestrian guard, but branched off for morale entertainment purposes. So I would say that they are trained to be ready for combat, but its not needed during peacetimes, which is why they don't come across so militaristic. Heck, even Dash just wants to join up to show off her flying skills, not to enlist.

loving Dashies new look, at last something thats more her and NO SKIRT! Im very indifferent to the others, but Im not os sure about Sunset's more studs look. Kinda reverts back to her old look, her bully look and I dunno if i really like it. Just annoyed it came out just as I finished putting together my sunset cosplay of her current nice look. x.x i am however, glad to see the giant boot look gone!

join up and become the new double crime spree team? LOL i dunno. My faves are Vinyl, Lyra and Sea Swirl..... though I guess Sea Swirl really wanted that dress that she couldnt afford....

Fallout Equestria would be a thing =D but meh, it would more likely be Crystal warfare than nuclear

wasnt intended to be mean. Heck, Lauren Faust has been posting such things for AGES!!!

my god my heart just melted when Sunset ruffled Flash's hair <3 really shipping hard now. Flash has grown on me too. I love that short. Also pushing more Bulk Shy shipping ^^ I found it rather amusing that Dash works in a sports shop....... if anyone knows of Sports Direct stores, its notoriously the worst retail company to work for, poor Dash. I cant say I enjoyed Coinky Dink very much. just a sub par Pinkie one really. *shrugs*

Rainbow Dash. it was nice to finally see a decent tomboy character in a cartoon and ironic because she's got rainbow mane and tail. Still my fave. So she got me invested in the show, but community fandom stuff didnt happen until 2012 when I went to a pony promotion day at my local Forbidden Planet - they were having a pony day for all the new merch they just got in.

Sunset, Twilight, Fluttershy and Dash I always seem to find suitable ships for. (though Dash should only be with Soarin imo) I always struggle to pair Rarity, AJ and Pinkie with some ponies. Pinkie could be asexual for all I know lol. Rarity and AJ I just pair together. I imagine Rarity would have had so many breakups with past stallions.

another Brit with a British complaint. its the correct way to spell it. same goes for Colour. It annoys me when its spelt wrong. (dont you say "spelt" is not a word google auto correct) Anyway. A few peeves are the lack of remembering when something has already happened. Like this weeks episode - Twilight being unable to do a magic hair spell after being able to give Spike facial hair in earlier seasons. and the spelling of Griffon....... its either Griffin or Gryphon please.

i wouldve thought in general some horse terms could be used. "Mule" is one they dont like to be called anyway. "Lame" could be used as a slur for broken/disabled/mentally slow. A lame horse is a bad horse. Zebras could be "griffon/manticore fodder"..... because thats the closest to lions we'll get... food chains and all that. ^^; im not good at creating insults really.
