  1. Hmm, okey. Let me give this a go. :3

    Likes: Uh hmm everything? XD I like chatting about all sorts of things, and I really like philosophy, regardless of what yours is. I just find how people think to be really fascinating. I like all sorts of music, especially brony artists. Sherlock, DW, Tim Burton films. Cryptozoology and aliens. Creepypastas. Art. Reading, esp. fantasy. Probably other things too but this is what comes to mind >.<

  2. As a Catholic, no, I don't believe in them as they appear in the show, clearly. However. I feel like the ideas that people come up with and the ways they use to express them can be infinitely valuable to theology. The Bible uses parables to explain things. Do we actually believe there was a prodigal son? No, but we believe the essence of the story because it makes a point and represents a truth. (or if you're not Christian, insert any parabolic tale you find helpful into that example) Therefore, I believe in the Sisters so much as I believe that they represent balance and virtue to me; they are a parable that I especially connect with and love. 

  3. This is true. However: While we've seen SOME ponies whom have strayed from harmony and friendship and all that jazz, its a bit odd that entire Species of sentient creatures seem to have the same problem. If it were only SOME dragons that acted like what spike saw that would be one thing, if it weren't ALL of the griffin kingdom that was dilapidated like a demilitarized zone, then it might not carry some of the undertones I'm pointing out here. As it stands, non ponies who seek friendship and harmony are in the drastic minority, while the opposite is true of Ponies (the disharmonious ponies are in the minority). Showing another race that, while different than ponies, is just as "good" and has their act together as ponies, would go a long way to helping to fix these undertones. 

     

    Also showing a group of Dragons that Spike can actually look up too instead of swearing off all of Dragonkind as greedy and selfish would help it too. 

     

    I suppose that's true too. We're not exactly told for certain that all of the griffins we see come from that particular region, as we do have Gustav - it seems unlikely that he would have come from a place like Griffonstone. On the other hand, it seems that Griffonstone is central to the Griffon people and thus represents them as a race. :|

     

    There are other races we haven't seen fleshed out yet, such as the Saddle Arabians we saw for a few frames. What would be really good to see is the mane six working together with members of another species to help a singular member of that species, or even a pony. Party Pooped was good as in the end, the ponies didn't really end up 'teaching' the yaks anything; in fact, I believe Pinkie apologizes at the end of the episode. So it's not all that bad, but seeing a new or underdeveloped species present themselves as positive but different would be quite nice, agreed.

  4. These are all really good points, but take into account that we've also seen the mane six helping and teaching their fellow ponies, even large groups or communities of ponies at a time. Every episode revolves around a friendship lesson, whether that lesson is being taught to other species or fellow ponies. It's the girls' job to spread harmony and do their best to make things right; so of course we're shown them doing just that.

  5. I actually like some kinds of cereal quite a lot; though to be fair, I'm not the household member in charge of purchasing milk. 

    I kind of think the whole thing about millenials being 'lazy' is more like we just prioritize things differently. We grew up in an era where computers and technology were becoming quickly prevalent, and many of us tend to have jobs that require us to prioritize technology and intellectual pursuits over unnecessary physical tasks. (especially students, ofc) so that's oftentimes much more important. Can we take a breakfast bar to class or eat it on the way? Can we easily read a book while consuming a bowl of cereal? Is it more important to do the dishes right now or finish that essay? Of course we all do procrastinate, but whether or not that comes into play doesn't really change the fact that streamlining things makes them a lot easier for everyone.

  6. I really think the wings are adorable. I'm not sure why there seems to be such a strained reaction to her in the trailer as it seems pretty obvious she'd have been born an alicorn (or maybe not, as Dad isn't an alicorn? I dunno.) But the wings are very cute.

  7. My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Rarity

    How did you find MLP Forums?: The googles o.o


    How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Someone on a small art forum (now defunct) that I used to belong to recommended it to me. I fell in love and I've never really stopped being in love. I've always felt connected to some character in some way, and every time I watch an episode there's something special in it for me.

    I've filled out my bio in my profile pretty well but hi ^^ I am le average teenage female human who lives on the interwebs. I like Melanie Martinez and pastel goth things and art and snakes. (my avvie art is my own, actually ^^) I've just recently lost someone close to me and I'd like to reach out and make new friends. So! Hi guys. <3
