  1. It looks like a chunk of the story involves mc trying to reconcile with his brother. This ties directly to helping Saffron reconcile with her mother. Saffron and her arc definitely passes the story relevancy test.
  2. This also opens up a potential running gag of her trying and failing to explain what her Mark is to people. For the record, I have a minor in Mathmatics and still only have a vague idea how the Mandlebrot set works.
  3. Given ponies tenancy for meaningful names, working the color orange in isn't a bad idea. Might work better in the mane, and give her a less flashy coat since she seems rather quiet. Depending on the time scale of the story, you could have her mane start in some sort of bun, or other subdued style that she let's down and grows as she becomes more social. Coat color could be a softer color, possibly a green referencing her mother. However, white might be a good canvas if her Mark would benefit from a lot of colors (Such as a Mandelbrot set) Eye color should be chosen not to clash with coat and mane (if coat is white you can get away with just about anything). Also, same rules apply to her magic color.
  4. Is the main character the friend who helps Saffron? If not, you might need to involve them more. There's probably some way to work them in even if they aren't technically necessary for Saffrons arc. Maybe think less about how the MC contributes to Saffrons arc, and more about how Saffrons arc affects the MC, and how what they learn from it is useful in the main conflict. In any case, I don't think there's anything wrong with a relationship that spends most of the story in a completed state. Romantic subplots have a way of swallowing the main story, so there's real danger in trying to jam one in for extra drama. Also, a decent love interest is a fantastic supporting character that the main character can play off of. Its difficult to say more without knowing the themes, tone, and general plot.
  5. They're not particularly consistent with the passage of time. Example: Rainbow is excited for her first winter with Tank in S5, implying that most of S2, and all of S3 and S4 took place in less than a year, and there was a Hearthswarming (i.e. winter) episode shortly after she got Tank.
  6. If we didn't have Cadance, we would have dozens of poorly written "Alicorn of Love" OCs, so she did save us from that. And they would probably be red and black.
  7. 1: A fun episode, but it's not the epic finale a lot of the other season enders are. It got a lot of build up throughout the season, which is a big plus, since they don't have to waste time with exposition. 2: This lacked that kind of buildup S1 had, and it really held back the episodes. On the other hand, Chrysalis was great for what little undisguised screentime she got, and even as Cadance she was a lot more menacing than a pink pony princess has any right to be. This episode also has the "This Day Aria" which is extraordinary. Shining and Cadance didn't get much development, but I really like the concept behind their characters. 3: This needed to be a two parter, and it shares the problem with S2 of too little foreshadowing. At least we had Cadance to indicate other alicorns were possible, and some vague hints from the opening, but overall I think this is the weakest of the finales. Still, it's nice to see a TV show willing to totally upend the status quo once in a while. 4: In terms of the overarching story, this is what S3 should've been. This shows the benefit to having the whole season leading up to one moment. Episodic stories have a tendency to ignore everything in the setting that's not the heroes and the villain of the week, so bringing Discord into the story really makes the world seem more consistent. The Twilight/Tirek fight was just a fun action scene that this show only rarely gets to play with. Easily my favorite of the finales and one of the best episodes of the series. 5: Starlight is a good villain, even if her motivation is ultimately rather weak. Seeing all the little details in the evil timelines really shows how much effort the writers put into developing the worlds, especially the Sombra one. Only downside is no Trixie future. 6: Discord said it best "Well isn't this quite the collection of secondary characters!" Their little dysfunctional team is a refreshing change of pace from the Mane 6, and they even get to grow a bit as characters from it all. I preferred the old changelings, but having Chrysalis reject mercy was a brilliant writing decision. 7: The various past characters could've used a bit more foreshadowing, but overall, this could've been a lot worse. I didn't particularly care for the Pillars, or the backstory of the Tree, but the main conflict between Starlight and Twilight was decent. Not bad, but not great either.
  8. Where you sell may also depend on the price you're asking for. If it's a lot, you definitely want to minimize your risk, and some sites may be better than others for that.
  9. Many interpretations of Celestia's control of the sun qualify as a WMD. What's one more in her arsenal?
  10. I feel like Fluttershy wouldn't want Discord to be alone, and would probably put up with immortality for his sake, and Twilight's if alicorns are immortal. Alternatively, Discord bequeaths chaos powers to Angel Bunny and travels to the afterlife to be with Flutters.
  11. I would. I've seen surveys like this before, and I've always wondered how they turn out.
  12. She is Sci-Twi because she is to Science what pony Twilight is to magic
  13. At FIMFiction, there are over 1k users online right at this moment. A lot of fandoms would be over joyed to have that kind of activity.
