I don't think this holds together as a theme. Discord isn't really prideful as some have mentioned, and frankly I don't see Chrysalis as representing lust. She didn't care about the wedding or Shining Armor, she just wanted someplace for her people to feed.

Fixed.

Posts to lock thread are spammed and cause thread to be a hot topic. The death of a thread is so much more complex than the death of a human (or a salesmen).

Really? If I may go off topic for just one post, I think the term "changeling" is rather common compared to some things. For instance I think the term "equines" is less common than changelings. (However, I am American and think equine may be from another language, so this may not be the best example for everypony.)

I find your lack of Sweetie Belle love disturbing. No really though, she is totally the best!! She always comes up with the greatest schemes/ideas (and their associated faces ) and she has an amazing singing voice: More awesome Sweetie Belle pics ^___^ (I love the last one)

How long do we have for this vote? (Pinkie vs Twilight)

Well you may have made it up but it does make a lot of intuitive sense... You have some very well thought out points. The fact that none of the dragons really questioned the fact that a letter came out when spike belched/breathed fire is also a very good point. I hope we get another Spike focused episode at some point. Dragon Quest did address some things, but there are still so many questions left unanswered... Do we assume that Spike maturing will make him proportionately greedy/dragonlike, and if he doesn't become greedy he will remain unmatured? (EDIT: If dragon age is proportional to greed and spike could completely mature over the course of a day, why would there ever be teenage dragons?) Is it safe to assume that dragons live longer than ponies (there is a canonical reference to dragons being able to sleep for 100 years at a time, but I don't recall any numbers referencing how long ponies live)? Is there any chance that spike is an atypical dragon or not a dragon at all? If ponies are too afraid of dragons to learn anything about them, why would Twilight receive a baby dragon as a filly? It seems like Princess Celestia would know the answers to all of these questions, but she hasn't exactly been straightforward with her favorite student in the past (the sickly phoenix).

Did you get all of this from Dragon Quest? I must not have been paying enough attention... EDIT: and Spike isn't like other dragons anyways, he has some kind of special connection to Princess Celestia (dragon-breath mail communication). Maybe that's just a spell? Is that fair to Spike?

That's so true! And I don't think I've ever watched Spike and felt that he was not acting in accordance with his character. He's complex and multifaceted. Now that I think about it, it's probably easiest to identify with Spike than any of the other ponies (even the mane six).

You can (I think) actually have a "rock garden", depending on the geology of where you live. They don't "grow" like plants do, but they rise to the topsoil from old riverbeds. (EDIT: I think this works for the same reason that different sized rocks put in a jar and shaken up will have large rocks on top and small rocks and dirt on the bottom.) Just a little caveat, I'm only 90% sure on all of this, it was something my older brother said once. Anyone have some experience in geology to back me up?

I think it's pretty safe to assume that Pinkie's parents are not old enough to have died of natural causes.

Dragon Quest was almost the best episode ever. Right about here I started getting all tear jerky with many a d'awwww and sniffle: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVkHsCzAbZc Then at about 5:00 it kinda shifted gears and Spike went on his quest to see what a generic dragon does, instead of really finding out who he is. Anyone else have a similar opinion? EDIT: I can't quite figure out how do get the video to start at the correct time, but I had it start at the scene change at 4:06 in the video.

This is getting surprisingly deep. The parts I bolded really resonate with me as things that could be true about Pinkie's back story. I really hope there is an episode about this now!

There is actually something (EDIT: I think it was a picture or series of pictures) that talks about this, an adult spike reminiscing with a younger generation of ponies about the mane six... Anypony else heard of this and can give us a link?

OH! Sorry. I thought you were suggesting that the author of Daring Do be synonymous with Philip Kaufman, one of the writers of "Indiana Jones".

Specifically to download them or have them in a playlist somewhere. I know you can find them all on YouTube but I'd like to have the audio tracks to listen to. Can anypony help me out?

I think that's a good compromise. It's certainly a more likely situation than the OPs idea... I'd like to see either one personally.

He certainly had personality! It seemed like he and Dashie had a previous argument or something too.
