  1. @CloudMistDragon Taking a read of this, above all, I commend your effort and thought you put into this theory. It is extremely interesting to read. My problem with G5, is not G5 itself - but how it is written. The concept of G5 being a seemingly post-apocalyptic outcome to G4 is something I find to be compelling. My problem is that the "Downfall" of the old Equestrian order happens so soon right after the conclusion of G4 in the canon. If I was to personally suggest anything to the writers, it would be that Opaline comes about at least a few hundred years after Twilight assumes power over Equestria, that way, everything the characters in G4 doesn't seem to be in vain. My problem with the canon, is how Opaline seemingly comes about right after Twilight becomes leader of Equestria, leading to the downfall of how things once were. That timing just doesn't add up to me, at all, and the fact it's canon to me just shows that the writers like to shoehorn in a ton of world impacting events into a small timeframe. This seems very strange to me. I have not read the G5 comics, and knowing how the comics were separate from what was shown on screen - I do not know if it is the same case here or not. My biggest problem, is the unity crystals being some sort of cliche "let's all work together and the magic will work right", even if that is what the show itself is about, just feels cliche to me. We have seen the trope of having different races, etc, coming together for some utopian dream in MLP and other genres so much, it's very hard for it to impress me. If I remember correctly, when the ponies have magic and are fighting, there is some anomalous magic that breaks loose - this seems to act as another measure to enforce the cliche. When ponies fight, there is (X disaster) that occurs relating to magic, enforcing the narrative that they have to work together. Let's think for a moment if that wasn't the case. The ponies fight over their differences, and it's far harder to convince them to work together as a result, why not have it so the act of convincing the ponies to work together has far greater weight and meaning to it, rather than it being enforced by the magic itself? If Magic was created, and contained in the Unity Crystals - wouldn't it have then also gotten rid of Opaline's long lifespan? I am assuming, of course that the long lifespan that alicorns enjoy is based on their magic. If the Unity Crystals is the source of magic in G5, and it being absent for so long, where does Opaline's long lifespan come from, alternative to that? If the Unity Crystals truly do contain all of the world's magic, than surely there could be some way to release the world's magic back into the world itself rather than within a seemingly unguarded artifact - that's another question I have too, why are the Unity Crystals under so little protection? Why doesn't Opaline come by herself and take it - since Misty doesn't seem to please her? Doesn't all of the world's magic being contained within a physical artifact seem rather dangerous, knowing that it could be physically destroyed, stolen, or corrupted using other types of magic to suit anyone's whim? These are just general questions, you don't have to answer them, as they are things only the writers themselves know. I may have misread or misunderstood things in G5, so it is entirely possible that I misunderstood some things. Your interest in Twilight Sparkle is fascinating, though in my personal opinion, I wouldn't have had Twilight Sparkle or G4 connected to G5 in any other way other than mythology. Having the potential for Twilight Sparkle or the Mane 6 to still be "alive" is something I am anticipating, and it is something that I will not personally like to see. G4 is in the past. Let it rest in the past. I do not wish for the writers to lean too hard into nostalgia or sentimentality by coming up with some pillar-esque arc in which the Mane 6 were frozen in time and brought back to life or something of that sort. Seeing Twilight Sparkle in the G5 pony style has felt rather uncanny to me, to be honest. As for Sunny, I don't consider her an alicorn. She may have alicorn magic, but she isn't physically ascended into becoming one. Her wings are temporary - and not fixed. For that reason, I don't consider her a "True" alicorn" like the others were. I do like how Sunny has been portrayed thusfar, however. This is all just my opinion, though. I just have so many questions about G5.
  2. Happy birthday! I remember you.

  3. Do not pay mind to the title, this is actually "Mission Imponable". This was one of the most interesting episodes so far! I love showing more development with Misty and Sunny. This one was excellent!
  4. Happy birthday!

      Thank you!!! :)

  5. Magloria would look to Pinkie Pie with devious eyes. "Game's on!" she shouted and stood up suddenly and grabbed a large white cake from the table and suddenly threw it right at Pinkie! She could see the pure chaos and carnage going on all around her, making her giggle like a devious little filly!
  6. Have had a few close calls over the years to say the least.
  7. I didn't. I took college classes in high school though I dropped out of them quickly.
  8. Got a lot of cleaning today, so I am happy with that.
  9. @Catpone Cerberus Sombra would take note of this, and he would lead the way out of the library so they could talk more in private. He'd lead the way towards an alleyway by the library - and take out his map. He'd look at it for various potential locations for a private collection - and his eyes would fall upon the museum. He would suggest that there could potentially be hidden artifacts or a restricted section in the museum, and if not, perhaps they could try the homes of various highly important individuals - which aren't marked on the map of course, but would potentially not be all that difficult to find due to their high status and wealth in society. He seemed to relent somewhat, allowing Una to discuss what the options were with him.
  10. Hope you have fun!
  11. I sure hope not. If you go through the trouble of making something new - you better stick to it and follow through with it. It'd be a huge let down to see G5 abandoned for a reboot that'd only likely mess up G4. G4 was convoluted as is. Let it rest.
  12. @Skylight Scintillate @Silverspark184 @Princess Silky @Nook Cranny @Brony Number 42 @Sir Hugsalot Magloria chuckled at the mess here - the mess was everywhere. She more or less just stood there and watched all the ponies throw food at each other. It made it all the better for here to see! She would eat a few more muffins and cookies, finding herself to be quite full - she could barely walk! Magloria fell over into the floor, into the mess of cake debris. The food covered the blue mares fur, but she was too full and too satisfied with herself to really seem to care.
  13. Some things in life are simply not worth caring about or worrying over.
  14. PC user for my whole life - though, I have converted to becoming a Mac user.
  15. What annoys me about youtube and the internet and general is that there is so much pointless drama. People who you think are mature and cool headed - turn out to just be children.
  16. @Princess Silky Together - to the end.
  17. @Rikifive Oh my! This is awesome!! I loved it so much!
  18. Socks, I wear my rubber shoes while vacuuming or cleaning.
  19. Would be my second choice, to be honest. I quite like Russia a lot. I was always fascinated by it's history and culture.
  20. I was born to Upstate New Yorker parents in a German community in Pennsylvania. Lived there until I was 3, then moved around a bit, then moved to where I am now. There is no community I feel apart of, in this place that I live in. My family was never really one for friends or get togethers.
  21. I saw this coming for a long time. You'll do great. I've had your back for all this time, and that will be one thing that doesn't change. You are one of the most important people I have met in my life, and I do not say that lightly. To see you, in such a role, is only fitting. Your guidance and patience with me has been a virtue. One that I will never forget. @Princess Silky
  22. @Nook Cranny @Silverspark184 @Nitobit @Sir Hugsalot @Princess Silky Magloria would observe the various interactions of the ponies here. She'd giggle slightly under her breathe and look out to the window and then back to them all. Most notably, she saw Nook Cranny eat one of her muffins. She'd approach Nook Cranny. "I see you are enjoying my fancy, homemade, and DELICIOUS muffins!" she smirked wildly. "I am glad you like them. Have some more, they are all here for everyone here to enjoy!" Magloria said as she took a muffin and also would begin to eat. "Mmmmm indeed...."
  23. Happy birthday! Hope you are well. You were one of the earlier people I talked to on here.

  24. I am feeling great to be honest.
