VitalSpark

Don't worry. It's all imaginary.

With a bit of interpretation Regulus's post can be used to find a second place in the chain where the same trick gets pulled, which I missed the first time around.

Really, the fifth? This just applies the rule sqrt(a/b) == sqrt(a)/sqrt(b ), which I believe holds for all a and b where b is non-zero. I think the fifth equality looks sound. I'd say the 6th one is the bad equals sign. The sixth one implies that: sqrt(1) == 1 sqrt(-1) == i But actually: sqrt(1) == 1 or -1 sqrt(-1) == i or -i The "or" bits have been conveniently forgotten, and the rest of the chain just assumes the square roots are equivalent to 1 and i respectively.

Thanks muchly!

Cool, so it's like a hotel for monsters?

You people really need to watch something like this Youtube video. The UK has a variety of very, very different regional accents, some of which are lovely and melodic, and some of which are... shall we say rather inelegant. If you want to hear a cute accent you should check out the BBC's adaptation of the Katie Morag books (there are some on Youtube). The girl who plays Katie Morag is from Glasgow, but nevertheless gets the Scottish Highlands and Islands accent pretty much spot on.

Favourite film: Frozen. Least favourite: stuff that isn't Frozen.

Any chance you could do one for this filly? (I haven't come up with a name for her yet.) She's called Vital Spark. She's super-brainy, cute as a barrel of kittens, and occasionally a bit of a prankster. I couldn't get the hair colour quite right in pony creator. It's intended to be a little like this but with blonde streaks. Thanks!

This is just an outline of an idea. If I had loads of time on my hands I would write it as a fanfic, but alas that is not the case. Queen Crysalis journeys to Tartarus to free Tirek, and along the way discovers a severely weakened King Sombra. She explains her plan to them: the ponies have defeated them all by uniting with each other, but they should be able defeat the ponies by working together. Meanwhile in the human world, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash are preparing to go on holidays, each with their respective families. Sunset Shimmer doesn't have any family in the human world, so instead she's got a summer job working for Princess Celestia, doing various odd jobs around the school. (She'd done a good job rebuilding the ruined school after EG1.) Back in Equestria, Tirek, Sombra, Crysalis, and hundreds of changelings descend upon Twilight's castle. Before the ponies can use the magic of friendship against them, Tirek uses magic to imprison them all in cages, and send the cages to the ends of Equestria. They're too far apart to use the magic of friendship. However, Spike manages to deflect the beam of magic aimed at Pinkie, allowing her a few precious seconds to escape up a tower. She is pursued by Sombra. She finds herself in the room with the mirror, and with nowhere else to go flees through it. Sombra enters the room to find it empty. Pinkie emerges in the human world, panicking, and runs straight into Sunset Shimmer. Together they hatch a plan to get the human Fluttershy, Pinkie (can't have Too Many Pinkies, right?), Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash together to go to Equestria and defeat the evil alliance. The hardest part will be finding the human Twilight Sparkle and convincing her. Cue various scenes of them going to fetch the girls. To convince human Twilight Sparkle, they play a song together and become half-ponies. The girls line up and go through the portal, emerging in Equestria as ponies. Sunset Shimmer comes too. They find the land covered in swarms of changelings, but manage to defeat them and Queen Crysalis quite easily. The rainbow magic that radiates from Canterlot frees the real ponies, and they are swept back to Canterlot. Magically. Sunset Shimmer helps free Princesses Celestia and Luna from the cocoons they'd been imprisoned in, mending the relationship between Sunset and Celestia. Pinkie to camera: well, that took less time that I expected. [Audience looks at watches: hmmm... yes... it did. We were expecting at least another half hour to this film.] Twilight asks the inevitable question, "but where are Tirek and King Sombra?" Celestia: "But I thought you knew...?! They followed Pinkie through the mirror!" The humans, Sunset, and the Mane 6 go to Earth to find Tirek and Sombra preparing some kind of evil plot (I'm a little fuzzy on the details). The Mane 6 try to use the magic of friendship to defeat them, but it's not powerful enough in this world. The humans and sunset try to use rainbow magic, but that doesn't work either. But using both together (I'm guessing all standing in a line, ponies one side, humans the other, Sunset in the middle) works. Yay.
