Oh I know that, and it's unimportant, it's one of those things in the overthinking it department, but it's something I notice .

Here's another instance of pony practicalty that baffles me. So you're a pony who prefers to wear clothes, ok cool. Not many do that. Mind explaining to me how you get your tail through the hole in your clothes? Look at all these screens. Any time there's a pony who wears clothes, their tail goes through them. If you had a tail and put a coat on, you would have your tail covered by your coat. But putting your tail through your coat is really difficult looking, even if you were a human. Imagine trying to get all those strands through a tiny hole. (and with hooves nonetheless!) Every time I see this it just looks ultra impractical and really difficult. How do you clothes wearing ponies do this? It seems like such an extra step! Even the idea of a Sunburst cosplay or fursuit, you would have to get your tail strands through such a small space. And in that case, at least you would have hands and fine motor skills!

It could work if done right. Though I'm pretty invested in Starlight and Sunburst, I love their relationship or friendship or whichever word you'd use. Though I think people like to see them free so they have some sort of perceived "connection" to them, I think? (oh and no season 8 spoilers please, if pertinent)

Man as curious as I am about this, and as much of a science person as I am, I have to admit I guess a little nervous when I read about hypnotism. I've always loved the idea of transformation, and this seems like something I would enjoy doing, but I always wonder if it will have detrimental effects if done the wrong way, or how something that deep could be messing with my mind in ways I don't know. It's awesome sounding, but spooky sounding too. I love the idea of feeling like I would be a pegasus, even if it's a mind trick, but I get spooked at the idea of some sort of hypnosis having lasting or permanent effects on me. I have OCD, I see a therapist for things, i dunno if I should have another layer of something too...?

Had one big time for Spitfire. She's one of my favs. And although I'm a guy... ... ... ... ...Sunburst too. in a way. Or maybe it's just that I adore him that much.

Starlight seems to be really good as the outside point of view. Just like with A Royal Problem, the situation was enough that SHE needed to be called where Twilight would have trouble doing anything. And all Starlight did was have suspicions about the finale, she just pushed Twi in the right direction cause she obviously is too fangirled by Starswirl, and he must know best, right...? And I think i would even say Starswirl's attitude about once a villain always a villain reflects a lot of fans' preferences toward not redeeming villains too. Though sometimes redemption works well, sometimes it wouldn't. Plus the thing with Stygian parallels her incredibly meaningfully. "I guess I might have been banished to limbo too." Ow.

I've decided to bump this thread. Why is this guy not getting so much attention? Really, since February? I love the dude! He is pretty much my favorite unicorn male in the show, and I've started to become invested in his and Starlight's friendship or relationship or whichever word you want to use. This guy's personality is cute, and I even got inspired to make his cloak for real! I'll be sure to post it when it's created, but I have no idea how long that will be. Images time. Ahhhhh Out of any custom plush of a pony that you know Hasbro is never going to make, He is at the top of my wants. I know those things cost hundreds of dollars and the commissions aren't always open for those, but I hope to get him one day!

...Do they really have DJ? If so, this... bears contemplation.

As a dirty human it would feel weird to go without clothes even if it was allowed. Some ponies prefer to wear clothes anyway. Though maybe if I was a pony that attitude would be more flexible.

That scene where Sunburst is clearly uncomfortable about being naked in bed with Starlight around. The scene is cute enough, but it has all these implications.

I'm trying to stay away from things, and I'm doing my best. But i can't control what reccommended youtube videos appear on the side. And from that, I have a fragment of a concept. Only what characters it involves. Even something like that I don't want to know yet cause it just gets me askign questions. I see descriptions of episodes normally when they go on TV or get announced officially, this shouldn't be any different just knowing there's a thing about certain characters, but UGH I can't stop wondering! And it involves characters I really like so now I'm just speculating. Damnit youtube don't do this! For those who wish to know So I'm just stuck wondering, I don't want to do this! What do I do?

Everyone usually puts Apple Bloom on the bottom of the three, but for me, she's always been my favorite, and is sort of the unofficial "head" or focus of the three.

The only constructive criticism I have of the episode is that it would be so good as 3 episodes instead of 2, fleshing out the artifact finding (which almost reminded me of Ocarina of Time, seriously, 6 legendary figures having to seal a dark power), and maybe even get some more lines for the other pillars. But I loved it.

I was going to post this gif, since I saw this and felt just like it. for how I felt, since I had just seen Shadow Play and didn't have to avoid any spoilers, anymore, but now that things are supposed to be on youtube, I have to post how I feel. Both for now I have to avoid things again, and I feel frustrated for the show creators. I don't want to know yet!

I watched Shadow Play a few days ago, and it's awesome. But Stygian. Man. Love the guy! But let's talk about his...inner feelings. Oh man. Disclosure: Before going into this episode, I knew there was a guy named Stygian, had to do with the Pony of Shadows, and might not be a bad guy. But I didn't know what happened or why, and I've spent weeks speculating. Now that I've seen the episode, I know what happened and why. And reflecting on it, I've... come to realize that the emotions he felt are eerily real to me. I've been jealous before. I've felt wronged and spiteful before. And in the worst case scenarios, when that happens, all these awful, spiteful grudging thoughts take place. It's almost like saying that misery loves company. It's a draw I've been in before. Feelings of rejection seem to breed utter contempt. Case in point: Weeks before Thanksgiving, I bought the Zelda Breath of the Wild DLC, which had a code in recepit form. I purposely put it with my game systems so it woudln't seem like some random recepit laying on the floor to be accidentally thrown away... but it was. My mother did that as we were getting our rooms clean, and I started to get frustrated, because that was $20! I was told that it was my fault for putting the recepit there, and that I would only get $10 back, but I was pretty livid. If someone took a $20 bill from you and burned it, yeah you'd be pissed! I started to make a bigger deal out of it, and the $10 was rescinded, and I made a bigger deal out of it. How could it be my fault when I put it in a certain place? On Thanksgiving I drove to the same Gamestop trying to see if I could get a reprint, but they couldn't do that, and I made an even bigger deal, this time really pissed off and yelling at the phone. This just about ruined Thanksgiving. I was off somewhere, when I came home I was ostracized, and I felt spurned and wronged. I just wanted to be away from everyone. It's not far fetched to have spiteful thoughts at this, just steeped in darkness. (things were fixed later, but this is a situation that had these sort of contemptuous thoughts that are easy to get into. There's a good line I found from a deviantart drawing of Styg: Feelings of jealousy and betrayal can lead one to become consumed by the darkness growing within them. And as Stygian discovered, in a world as highly magical as Equestria, that last part can potentially become literal. I'm only just realizing this contemptuous mindset extends to my attitude toward many poitical things too, which I ruminate about way too much now thanks to OCD. Things that may or may not have anything to do with me but are thought about too much anyway.. Things that are happening that flood me with disgust. I've hypothesized what one would do to stop something like that, what (very much not good) ways one would take things into one's own hands. Things I would never want to do, but the spiteful feelings are seriously real. Sometimes I've had to shake those thoughts off, but it's concerningly soothing to think about them. The thoughts Stygian must have been feeling are very real. Not in a literal shadow sort of way, but even so. Some posts I've seen dismiss him, one using the word "crybaby", which I don't really agree with. Dismiss the idea of it just being "emo" and you see some serious feelings going on here. And though poor communication skills between him and the Pillars is very obvious, the sentiment expressed is eerily resonating. I know I'm not a dark person, but it's easy to fall into this trap. What about you?

The Cutie Markening of the Crusaders Three. I'm all like, "They did it!" and in sort of disbelief and happiness,
