Dash would see all the rainbows and assume they were in her honor. Upon finding out that it wasn't for her she'd be annoyed and secretly a little hurt but then she'd realize how important it was to the LGBTQIA community and say how awesome it was people were being celebrated for loving others. Then she'd find out the full meaning of why Pride exists and become confused at first and then really bucking pissed off. "What? Are you for real? You've GOTTA be kidding me. Are you REALLY trying to tell me that people get hated and oppressed just because of who they love? Or because some of them struggle with their identity? Really? Now that's not cool at all. Why, back where I'm from if a mare loves another mare we don't hate them because of it. My friends Lyra and Bon-Bon got married and the whole TOWN showed up to celebrate. The very idea that some of you humans would be that cruel, why...it just makes me so bucking MAD." Whereupon Twilight would have to convince her that no, they can't invade Earth and force people to love everyone no matter what. It would be frustrating to her and she'd be angry for a while but afterward, she'd put a different plan into action. "If those haters think they're tired of seeing rainbows everywhere NOW just wait. I'm going to fill the whole WORLD with rainbows EVERYWHERE. You just freakin' watch me, Twi. THIS Rainbow is going to help the LGBTQIA humans feel so much Pride we're all going to be 120% bucking COOLER." It'd be pretty bucking awesome.

Impressive bit of thread necromancy going on here. As far as Flurry goes I think she was harmless.

There is literally no way for a show to limit headcanons as headcanons by their very nature depend on one's imagination and the only limits to that are ones you place on it yourself. You are literally the only one who can keep yourself from imagining any given scenario that derives its inspiration from the show. For example in my fanfics Twilight's tree was never destroyed. According to your logic because it was in the show I shouldn't have that as my canon. Really there's absolutely no reason I can't have that taking place in my own version of their world. That's what headcanon is all about-taking imaginary worlds and making them into the worlds you want them to be. Faust's MLP headcanon and its huge differences from official canon is how we got IM in the first place. Btw-canon should always be seen as more of a guideline than a rule. These are fictional worlds made up in someone's head. At the end of the day Death of the Author applies just as much to made-up TV show universes as it does to fiction. Once it's out there it belongs to everyone-for better or worse.

The library tree. Everyone else deserved it. The destruction of the tree was unnecessary as it was already more than obvious how destructive Tirek was. There was no need to vaporize Twilight's home. What made it all the more insulting was how obvious its destruction being dictated by Hasbro in order to sell that ugly castle toy was. Yes I'm still salty.

I honestly hope they don't as these particular characters are a part of indigenous American religion. Their inclusion in G4 was yet another appropriation and misrepresentation of their culture. https://www.backstoryradio.org/blog/the-mythology-and-misrepresentation-of-the-windigo/ As much as i love G4 the writers definitely committed cringe now and then when they tried to mimic different human cultures. More often than not it came off as parody which can be used effectively but when it's done in a way that perpetuates misrepresentation of real people's beliefs it's just bad. I hope G5 moves away from trying to emulate existing human society as much and focus on giving ponies their own unique ones. You can still have similar creatures. They just need to put more effort into making those creatures their own.

How will it prevent people from having their own headcanon's or any of that stuff? As long as people are able to imagine those things will exist. There's nothing G5 can do to prevent people from doing any of that.

I think the art looks great plus they've got long-time fan artist Imalou heading up character design. I like pretty much everything I've heard about it so far. I just hope that the mane 6 plus Spike end up being included in a meaningful way, rather than just being legendary figures that only get referenced now and then.

I got into pony back when the meme's were first starting to make their way around. I think the show had been on a few weeks. Mostly though I was using the cute ponies to troll haters over on the Runic Games forum. I was (and still am) part of the Torchlight community and we had a spate of really obnoxious trolls. My first real 'pony' experience was being allowed by the developers to continue spamming meme's until most of the trolls got fed up and left. Then of course spamming meme's was made against the rules lol (I'm still cool with the devs tho). Later on in 2011 I started hanging out on a community Minecraft server and two of my friends there wanted me to watch the show with them. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. I have a difficult time enjoying shows about friendship by myself. We watched the series for about two or three months when they had a falling out and stopped hanging out on the server (and with me). It was hard to watch the show after that as all it did was remind me of the friends I'd lost. Fortunately in 2013 I made a really good friend who became my best friend and I ended up getting him into the show. We've been huge fans ever since. Such huge fans that I consider myself Dash and he considers himself Twilight. The characters are so similar to us and we identify with them so much. They mean a lot to us and always will. It sucks knowing that's all we'll see of 'our' ponies but we're both optimistic about G5. Yeah it will suck their not being the ponies we fell in love with but we wouldn't be staying true to 'our' ponies if we didn't give them a chance. I agree with KawaiiYandere 100% when they say as long as we do our best to be kind, loving, compassionate, accepting and good friends we'll keep that magic going. I was a Star Trek fan back when there wasn't much of a fandom and I've seen it grow through numerous new series and new characters with every new iteration adding something special to Star Treks legacy. We're like Trekkies only instead of "Live long and prosper, we say, "Live long and brohoof." Bronies will be around for a long, long time.

Kawaii you are most definitely 20% cooler. :)

I'm ashamed to say that I've been having a difficult time embracing Starlight Glimmer. I'm not looking forward to this episode as much since she's in it. I feel bad because I don't like not liking things having to do with MLP:FiM.
