Is it wrong to watch MLP together with my family on Christmas?

Your dad getting over your interest in MLP finally? 

Nah imho some of those Hearthswarming episodes are really good, but I mean if you want them to understand the show better sounds like a gift within itself

Depression does happen, it's ok if you're feeling it just make sure it doesn't consume you fully and that you have a healthy way of coping. @J.Jis a lovely person to talk to if you need someone to discuss it with. Very down to earth and kind person 

As for myself. I'm dealing with some confusion and strangeness. But I'll deal <3 Probably need a break. And I'm sleepy. 

She speaks the truth! 

And aww, I'm a little sleepy to lol, but it usually wears off within the first hr or so of me being awake   

As for "confusion and strangeness" that sounds like my entire life, so if anypony can relate, "look no further!"

I'm feeling depressed right now.

What's going on? Been seeing some of your posts lately on here...

I'm trying to figure out if I'm either unnaturally brilliant or dumb

That is was possible for all creatures to go vegetarian.

That the world was large enough for this ever growing population. 

That I could just find peace with people that value me more than anything.

I have a lot of "wishes", most of them ending cruel exploitation of animals, the mistreatment of humans, a world that was padlock tight on crime... There's so many different areas I don't know where to start, couldn't think of any bold generalizations to cover all my bases,

So I guess my one wish is that all of the physical creatures of earth could be spiritual entities immune from physical suffering or exploitation and corruption, inequality and degradation... If people wanted bliss it's achievable in "some ways." But there is a never ending cycle of pride, wrath, envy and greed that will keep this world spinning in the same direction until the end of time, this in part due to the choices made by people that claim they want peace themselves...

When people say, "this is what's best for the world" or, "we want world peace" they are talking about "mankind" in specific, not their MILLIONS of roommates that live here with them, it's not "your world" just bc your the smartest animals here?

Right now we've got Beyblade Burst technically running on Disney XD, there were property disagreements after MLP Tales, and making this big of a concession is a lot bigger than allowing some ponies to make a cameo appearance in a crummy Chip & Dale reboot.

It's just, if they wanted to get network recognition, Disney is running out of new relative animation at the moment, something is either going to sink it entirely or bring it to new found glory, there may come a time when Disney is willing to put up the right amount of money for ponies on Saturday...

Edit: not a property surrender. They'll put up the money and have a lot of over achieving writers of their own...

My whole life is a series of weird experiences, if you are around me long enough you become superstitious...

last night was the longest sleep ive had in years off medications, i sleep about 2-4 hrs a night usually... 3-5AM to 7-9AM

Still my girlfriend. Living the best life already.

you win

The Pony Hip Hop was my ringtone for a steady two months lol, that slaps idec, but the ending of Sunny Day Dinners makes me genuinely happy, they've had some pretty rough ones, but they've had a lot more that were good than bad imo...

Well now we know that Zipp isn't the only one capable of flying the plane, hope they don't "over utilize" it in MyM just bc they have a convenient way to get around now, but it still brings up questions because it always seemed like they could get between the 3 pony capitals relatively quickly irregardless...

It was cute just not to eventful, can't expect that much from an episode completely about baking cookies lol.. just that I nostalgia can make anything taste great lol

Love and Friendship..

I personally think my true love is probably in a mental institution or something, i really dont care, as long as they are unique and loyal

it's not the best one - the quality is very up and down for G3 so you might find yourself liking some of the others (although gen 3 is definitely not to everypony's taste ). Minty Christmas tends to get the most positive responses from bronies.

YES, if you read around on some of these other topics about g.3 I do praise A Very Minty Christmas after I took the time to watch it, the characters defectives actually impact the plotline, there is an actual adventure and a story, lol, Minty putting that sock in the Christmas tree was the best thing I've ever seen lol, "Is this how you Christmas?"

Lol yeah I really enjoyed a Very Minty Christmas, but I'm a huge sucker for Christmas specials lol, I was just like dang everypony got to the North Pole pretty fast via Air Balloon, these ponies must live up North lol, but yeah I have like 3 or 4 posts amongst these classic gen topics trying to fathom how Princess Promenade is 7.5 and A Very Minty Christmas is like 4.9 like the gen.3 fans or reviewers confuse me lol

For some reason I really can not stand "Shake Your Tail." Lol it sounds weird when you listen closely and hear those inorganic voices cropped over it that sounds like a little boy saying "shake your tail" lol, but honestly CHS Rally song is BY FAR the best EQG song, followed by Rainbooms part in "Welcome To The Show". Sunset kills it honestly, and it's one if the numerous reasons I love Rainbow Rocks, lol I've seen that movie so many times I can recit 3/4 the whole movie word for word lol

When someone says, "what?" And forces you to repeat yourself even though you know for a fact they heard exactly what you just said, it's annoying thing to me, like they're half paying attention but actually knew what you said and just want you to reiterate the statement over again, it's annoying AF to me ..

I think I can do something, my prices have increased a little, if you see my latest post

Idk how long it will take them to approve of this, so I might just PM you, but yeah, just let me know what you have available, you would basically have to render her yourself, but that's the only inspiration I have and her cutie mark I couldnt actually get on to Pony Town, are you saying it will be 35, or 50$ was kind of confused as I don't know all of the commissioner lingo in the art community xD

Cant relate on hating the snow AT ALL, but I can DEFINITELY relate to others trying to force things on me I have no interest in and would not enjoy AT ALL. I thought this was pretty good, guess Sunny and Hitch become professional snowboarders in record time seeing as this is the first snow near Maretime Bay and (x) amount of moons lol, but ultimately yeah this was pretty good, I like celebrating in the snow, they could have been pretty vanilla with the episode theme and I would have still enjoyed it, but showing how Posey wasn't about conforming was pretty cool. We're all different lol... 

"Only shooting stars break mooooold"

I have Sunset and Starlight plushies, I'll post pictures when I'm around the apartment again

Flavored water, chocolate milk and sometimes sprite.

(\

14 years ago, I was imagining a MLP Tales show that was completely soap opera oriented, and it would work. Now, it took FiM a long time (5 seasons) before it got to that state where I felt the characters and story was good to top that idea. Like how Starlight Glimmer was really evil, for real, but at the same time was a real character with feelings.

 

She was by far the LEAST "evil" of all the MLP villains, her reformation means a lot to me as a person, but no, the experiences Starlight went through as a pony genuinely made her believe that what she was doing was for the greater good of all ponies. We don't get direct context as to how she persuaded the ponies that she did to partake in the project of "Our Town" but there is a lot to be said about why she wasn't honest to begin with,

1. Can a unicorn really even remove her own magic? Or would Starlight have to teach some spell to another unicorn to be able to accomplish doing this? We know that Starlight is LITERALLY the only pony who has ever been able to accomplish doing this? How long would it take her to teach this magic to anyone else? In doing this, that would suggest there be a never ending chain of unicorns teaching new unicorns how to perform this spell so that they all in fact could be equal? Well it's gonna be awfully hard without having magic in general to teach the spell...? How do we know all unicorns would even be capable of such a complex spell? Eventually you would hit a wall in terms of magic capability/comprehension...

2. Starlight NEVER, "enslaved' anypony, she manipulated them, again there is lacking context, but there is nothing to suggest she was threatening them into staying in the community with their lives, they were brainwashed, we don't have all the context as to why they decided to join "Our Town" to begin with, but obviously their lives were indeed lacking if they chose to leave them behind in trust of a unicorn they have just met... The way that the ponies of Our Town rationalize their conformity and the way they neglect to ask any questions or look for these answers despite being long term residents of the town itself says just about as much for their competence as it does for Starlight's manipulative tendencies, they were conceptually "happy" not asking these questions....

3. Starlight's "control bit" and quite possibly her entire obsession with magic as I have explained MANY times comes from a direct result of her understanding as to how the world prioritizes those that wield it effectively and in her mind, (since I actually do headcanon for good characters) She thought that if she could use this magic effectively at it's conception she may have been able to catch up with her long lost friend or that her being able to use the magic in general was the end all for how the social structure of pony importance worked in general, she got deep into using it because she genuinely disagreed with the sentiment that made her so obsessed with learning it herself, this sentiment is about the social hierarchy and importance of "magic wielders" more or less and not the magic itself, she wanted to genuinely seperate others from having to make personal concessions for not being as "up to snuff" as other ponies, because that is what she knows is capable of happening because of these "special talents"...  She uses magic to control because she doesn't want to feel helpless herself, and if she can keep others under control she won't have to make these personal concessions ever again.

4. If there was EVER a pony deserving of her successes and vengeful vindication through the destruction of these, it was DEFINITELY Starlight, Starlight never invited the Mane 6 to "Our Town" they show up randomly via instructions of some little magic map,  and start to begin investigated it's political infrastructure based off their own intuition, there really is nothing to prove that if they had not been looking for answers themselves that they wouldn't have not just initially been allowed to leave... Yeah we know Starlight sees Twi and it becomes her goal to confirm an alicorn, but they asked to see the vault, they made it their mission to try to get to the bottom of what was going on there, and up to that point they were welcomed as guests and given crappy muffins to enjoy, not force assimilated by some brainwashing film or whatever, yeah AFTER they tried to step on Starlight's toes, Starlight put them in a room for seemingly causing anarchy in Our Town by making her followers go against the towns philosophy.. who knows what would happen if Starlight just let these ponies go? They would probably come back with an army to destroy everything she worked so hard at building?

5. When Starlight seeks revenge against Twilight and her friends she doesn't do this with the intention of "ending the world" she does this with the intention of ending a single friendship circle? So they can feel like she did when 1. She lost Sunburst (obviously) which makes her backstory make MORE sense in this situation bc she's proving part of her point about special abilities ending friendships by ruining friendships with special abilities. 2. So they can understand the loss of everything that matters most to them and EVERYTHING that they covet being taken away from them, but even this isn't even completely true, because if Starlight had succeeded at altering time in any one if these dystopias, they would have no recollection of what they had even lost, it's not like they get to keep all these memories? It's not like they have to feel the hurt from losing their true friendships? She's just preventing them from ever happening... At the end, when Twilight takes Starlight with her, to this dystopian wasteland that is left of Equestria, DO YOU NOT SEE Starlight's reaction? She doesn't want to end the world? She wants to make it better in her mind? She didn't want that to happen, she just wanted to remove Twilight Sparkle and her friends from being an ideological threat in concept in part of this new world? She wanted to make the world better through equality, not destroy it...? 

6. Starlight studied all these spells and had a genuine idea for what she could do to change Equestria for the better, these plots weren't for simply "revenge" or because she "lOvES ChAOs wooo" or because she simply wanted to become more magically powerful? She genuinely did what she did with purpose and conviction not just outright malice? When she says, "everything else I said was true, the only way to be happy is if we're all equal" or when she says "no I stopped them from bullying because we all should be equal, stopping the rainboom is just a bonus". She believes in this philosophy, she just as I've explained before, if she were to adhere to it herself that would add a lot of complications but ultimately contradict the purpose in why she is doing what she is doing. Starlight sacrifices everything BUT her magic to live in this little podunk nothing town in the middle of BFE, and she's sacrificed her time, any luxuries she did have, she's genuinely doing a lot to mobilize for this philosophy she's trying to spread, this did not come without her own hard work and sacrifice, something Twilight utterly invalidated in 2 episodes so she could feel accomplished as the princess of friendship.

I'm not going to justify Starlight's obvious lies, but I'm going to say there were objective reasons for some of them, Starlight is by far THE LEAST evil villain of all of My Little Pony, probably the entire franchise, being cunning doesn't add to the malice of someone's intentions, people act like personal competence always is supposed to be attributed to common sense, ummm Starlight has literally been taught from Filly to full grown mare up to this point that magic is the way, it's how she's taught herself? One could argue by extension she's breaking the chains of others that have her claimed inherently that she can't escape, but the point is her reformation... She just gets even better, we get to see that it isn't flawed intention that causes Starlight to make these mistakes, it's flawed thinking... If anything these mistakes should "humanize her" not start up a witch hunt against her because she's been inherently led to think differently than other ponies? Them giving her a chance makes the most sense, but I can give you all these reasons separately as I'm getting way off topic on the MLP gens post lol...

There's just a lot to suggest that Starlight may have never been "evil" on its face, rather misguided and prone to a different belief system that was self justified and by her own emotional competence and experiences... Starlight knows little of Hearrhswarming or the Wonderbolts yet, she can change one of Starswirls spells? She had her own intentions, her own interests, her own priorities, she didn't do what she did merely for power, she just couldn't give up her power to achieve what she wanted....

Started catching feelings for someone I can't talk to

I had Thanksgiving FOR breakfast... Do pretty much every year... Nothing is more important than breakfast, but what you have for breakfast doesnt matter

4,2,5,1,3

1 really is a beast of its own because some are really good and some are really bad 

It's like if I had a comprehensive chart of comparison there are some episodes of earlier gens that are MUCH better than some g.4 crappers, just like everything else it's hit or miss but there really are some g.4 episodes that are literally cartoon hall of fame, it's not a question as to which is the best generally...

Edit: accidentally counted Tales as G.2 again 

Known by few but disliked or distrusted by the majority of these people, liked and acknowledged by very few, but I like them genuinely... Neutral with some, as we only ever have interacted casually, but I don't ever believe in majority rules, 2 friends have just as much of a right to be in a public place as a literal cult or any group of people that may hate them...

Alternatively I think some of the people that "don't like me" might if they actually knew who I was or what I was about... I'd love to make actual friends, sometimes humbling yourself to be around the right people is part of this process...
