Yep, that's why season 1 is my favorite season. Joking aside, I never really noticed that. With the ponies walking on 4 legs, when they face away from the camera, their flanks are gonna get shown. Might it just be those specific episodes you watched? I'm not usually specifically paying attention to that when I'm watching the show, and I've never really noticed a difference in flank shots between seasons. Maybe they weren't sure what to do about it at first, and then got better at not using those kind of shots as much in later seasons?

You can't take parenthood back. Once you have a child, that's it, you've got one forever, it's your responsibility, your time, your money, and hopefully your love that's going to them. That's a lot of work, you are raising another living, breathing, thinking, feeling human being that is mostly helpless without you until they grow. A child is not like a doll. Some people are unhappy with kids, some people don't love their kids, some people just can't deal with it. If somebody does not want children for any reason, they shouldn't have them, that could end up being harmful for not only themselves, but also their partner, and the child/children they have. Lives are not something to be toyed with, in my opinion you should only really have children if you really want them, and are capable of caring for them. I don't hate kids, I like them, in small bursts anyway, but I'm not willing to potentially throw my own life away, and potentially bring some kid into this world when there's a good chance I could screw their lives up too. As for people who want kids but can't have any...I feel for them, I really do, that's really unfortunate, hopefully they can adopt or find some other way to make their dreams come true, but it is not my responsibility to raise a child just because they can't. I don't have to join a professional sports team just because a person who can't walk wants to but isn't able to.

Alone, bored, even more miserable than I already am. Nothing but dark things, really.

None of us really know, but I know that every time a new season is coming, people start predicting it's the end. Saw it happen with season 2, with season 3, with 4, with 5, now with 6. Sure, they might be right, but people always manage to convince themselves of it, it's a little silly. It could end here, it could end at season 26.

Doom and Gloom and Bloom. Larson leaving sucks, all these other writers leaving sucks too, but hey...Season 6 isn't out yet. I'm keeping my hopes high for it, it's another season of ponies, I love this show to death and I'm not going to let some bad news spoil my excitement. Anytime something happens too many jump to the worst case scenario, looking for anything to convince them it's the truth. The season might totally suck, but I'm pretty doubtful. We'll probably at worst just get an "Average" season, and even that isn't so bad, something average can still be enjoyable, and have a few great gems in it. As for the show ending...Possibly, though I hope not. Six seasons, plus a movie, plus the EQG movies is a pretty good run, but I'm hoping for at least a seventh season. Honestly, I'm dreading the end of this show, once it's gone I'll have next to no reason to watch TV other than Doctor Who. Probably just end up watching pony reruns for all of eternity.

Season 5 was without a doubt my favorite. Too many great episodes to count. The Cutie Map, Castle Sweet Castle, Slice of life, Make new friends but keep Discord, Amending Fences, Do Princesses dream of magic Sheep, Rarity Investigates, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, The cutie Re-mark, were all great episodes and some of my favorites. Even the "Worst" episodes still seemed pretty decent to me. Second place is a tough choice between season 2 and and season 4 for me, can't really decide between them. They're both really good still.

Um...How? How would they do away with Ponyville? It's where they all live, they can't just "Make it go away", that wouldn't make any sense. Just because Ponyville isn't specifically mentioned in any of the episode synopses doesn't mean it doesn't take place there, the episodes that don't specifically mention any place will probably take place in ponyville, since it's sort of the "Default" setting.

Right back at ya my friend, hard to believe it's already been that long. @,

Yeah, I definitely would. The fame would make me a bit nervous, but how could I possibly say no? Especially not to Twilight or Luna, geez. That's fine. Maybe the ponies would feel the same way. Maybe they'd view dating us like dating monkeys, creepy.

Sorry, I guess I didn't word that clearly. I wasn't talking about liking the Stereotypes themselves, as much as liking the character that seems to be stereotypical. You might just like them cause they look cute, or cause they had a funny line, or cause somebody wrote a 75 chapter fanfic that's now your headcanon or whatever, even if there's not much to them, and they might just be a "Nerd" character that showed up for like 5 minutes in one episode. Obviously, just being the "Nerd" wouldn't work for a main or important character, but somebody who only shows up for a few scenes is fine not having much depth, if it's this fandom the fans will do all the work anyway. I'll edit the post to be a bit more clear on that. Edit: I'd consider things differently for some stereotypical character that clearly is harmful in some manner. A stereotype "Bully" existing for a scene or three is different than some severely harmful cultural stereotype being used as a joke.

Honestly, of the main characters, I don't think any of them are really stereotypes. Anyone who wants to point out how one of the mane six is a stereotype is almost always pointing out a character they don't like or find boring, meanwhile almost anyone who actually likes that character can point out plenty of reasons why they aren't just a stereotype. Rarity isn't just the typical fashion girl, for instance. While it's true she can be self-centered and a bit manipulative with her looks, she's kind and generous, truly loves to create her art and to make others happy with it, and is actually rather intelligent. Doesn't fit with the usual "Fashion" girl I see on TV at all. It's similar to real life in that way. I don't think I'm a stereotype, and my friends likely don't think of me as one, but from past experiences I can tell that people who've disliked me have viewed me as a stereotype of some sort. I can also say I've occasionally viewed people I didn't like or didn't know well as "Stereotypical" when that's really only because I didn't know them that well. Everyone's a stereotype to someone. Some of the side characters might be actual stereotypes, but we usually only see them that way because they've either had very little screen time, or very little development, or both. Even though you might like some of them anyway.

Doom and Gloom. If you go in convinced you won't like the episodes, chances are you're gonna find every reason you can not to like it. Sure, be skeptical, if you don't like the idea that's fine, but at least give the episode a chance still too. Maybe it'll surprise you, even if it's not literally the best episode ever, it might still be a good time. If you don't like it, oh well. Even if you don't like the episodes, it's not the end of the show. There's still a whole 24 episodes after it, and I highly doubt Flurry will play a big part for all of them. MLP's not going to turn into the Flurry Heart show just cause of a few episodes. Every single time there's a change of any kind, somebody becomes convinced the entire show's gone down the drain, it's silly.

382187 Yeah. Thanks for talking with me, I think I'm good for now. I'm going to try and avoid really thinking about things for a bit, try not to stress myself out.

382185 Alright, sorry. I need to figure out...first at least how to cope with this a bit better. Sometimes I manage to calm myself down successfully, I need to learn how to do that more often, and get a bit better about asking for help in a better way.

382181 It's me trying to convince myself of something I don't really believe, honestly. Even people with unpleasant personalities I feel still have worth. They can still be great to someone. Someone bitter and angry can still have a lot of good to them. Though some people are dangerous still... Wasn't planning on using this place like that again, I just...sank into a really low mood. Probably won't try to do it again, hopefully I don't sink this low again.

382174 I mean this. I think people took it differently than how I intended. They took it as a good thing, which makes sense, it seems like a good thing, but that's not necessarily what it is for me. I'm not planning to do this for my benefit or happiness. I'm going to get a job, so I can be useful. My personality has no worth, until I make myself useful. I plan to change who I am, even in ways I don't want, so that I can finally be pleasant to be around. There's no worth to "Being myself". I guess I was looking for two things. Either someone to prove me right, or someone to prove me wrong. Because I don't want to live like this, but it seems the only way I'll ever make anything out of myself is by ignoring my own feelings and desires and forcing myself into a life I don't want anyway.

382171 Which part are you asking about? I need to know what you mean before I can answer if it was sincere, my thoughts are a jumbled mess right now.

382168 My own thoughts. What people have said to me, memories from my past, spending too much time on the internet reading peoples comments on things relevant to my personality. When I thought back to the people who "Mistreated" me when I was a kid, all those "bullies". I can't help but think they were right. And there were positive comments. Up until I said how I really felt, then it went sour. I should have left it at the positive part, why can't I just learn my lesson?

382163 Yep, everyone's still sick of my crap. Sorry about that, I'll delete the comments. Have a nice day guys.

382150 Perhaps? I've decided I'm moving forward with my life. I'm not going to sit here anymore. I need to change, there's no room for me. I need to be the person other people want, not who I want. My feelings and personality only get in the way, they need to change, whether I like it or not.

382145 Welp, I'm doing something with my life now, I guess. Maybe.
