I think Dashie would have a painfully awkward start because she likes to deny anything even sorta girly forget anything mushy like love. That would create some hilarity You make a good point with this..... hmm I doubt it could be pulled off without regulating the guys to "house husband" status.

Nopony needs to meet that special somepony. Relationships based on need are unhealthy any how.

Oh no my memory is good but not that good. I am rewatching the episodes and writing bullets for a short write up. As far as not going too deep you are right. I avoid that for two reasons the first is that I do not wish to go so deep as to make this bland or boring for some. The second is that generally when ethics, psychology or philosophy get deep they tend to end up talking in circles that have slight deviations but all really say the same thing. Which is something that makes me wanna scream. I hope others enjoy this as I intend to do the entire series

Any thoughts on my posts so far

MLP Episode 3 Ticket Master In this episode, Twilight Sparkle gets two tickets to the gala and more than one pony wants to go with her. It appears that somepony is going to be very unhappy no matter what she decides. Which is a reality in life. Sometimes there are no good choices. Sometimes no matter what we do someone is going to be unhappy or left out. This is ok and just something we must deal with As the episode goes on her friends start to do favors which make her uncomfortable and really start to put pressure on her to make her choice. They know what they are doing is wrong as you can tell by the fact that they get guilty when they are called on it. But this is something that a lot of good people fall prey to. Desire, however, can push even the best of people to act foolishly even as they regret it. The best response to such pressure is shown in this episode as well. When our values and actions are in question sometimes we need to stand firm and say no even if it is to a friend. Even more importantly we must realize sometimes the right action is no action. As is shown by her refusing to make a choice that could hurt somepony and just sending back the tickets instead. Our final lesson of this episode is that lack of communication can create problems and knowing when to speak up can solve a lot. Had Twilight thought to ask for more tickets she would have had them in seconds and this whole mess could have been avoided. Have you ever made such a mistake? I have learned that Halons razor is a great way to avoid such a mistake this razor states “ Never attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.” MLP Episode 4 Applebuck Season This episode focuses on the idea of taking on more than you can chew. In it, Applejack decides to take on the task of harvesting her families entire farm when her brother is injured. However, it swiftly becomes clear that she has taken on a bigger job than she realized. Worse she fails to plan her schedule with gaps for emergencies that she might need to handle and even forgets to account for many other commitments she has. This leads to her not taking care of herself to a point that she is passing out at random times. Had she listened to her friends and learned to say no rather than accepting every request for help she got things might have turned out differently. Though in the end, she learned to accept help and things turned out ok. However, it might not have turned out so well if she had held out any longer. She could have lost crop at best and at worst gotten hurt or ill due to her disregard for her health. So what lessons can we take from this? That we need to accept our limits and learn to say not at times. Further that when we commit to things we need to leave gaps for emergencies that might crop up. We also need to know how and when to stop and take care of ourselves no matter how big the job or we put our health at risk. Finally, accept help there is no shame in it.

Agreed, I mean the idea could be fun and could be workable. But man they would have to be careful with how they write it out.

I think it could be great. Just has to be done right. Might even make an interesting "holiday special" for hearts and hooves day or something. BTW am I the only one that misses holiday specials being a normal thing for cartoons?
