OOooooooo!!!! That Sunset is going to be VERY hard to resist! Do you think they would make the Princesses?? Luna would be a MUST and I would love a Cadance as well!

Do they appear in the Gameloft App? Does that specify?

My fault, I should have specified!

Sorry, MLP fandom only!

A thread just for fun! Name a character you think gets a bad name in the fandom (CANON ones only, please!) and why you don't think they deserve their reputation, OR what you like about them. I'll start; Princess Cadance isn't bad, y'all are just mean. She's confident, sweet, one of the best singing voices, happy to help but also happy to deliver some home truths if you need to hear it. Her colour scheme is also great! I think her bad rep comes from her sudden introduction, and she wasn't given much room to breathe before suddenly a wedding and a baby shortly after (though defending the Crystal Empire was pretty dang great). I would loved to have seen her ascension with Princess Amore, sadly we can't see it!

Sunset Shimmer has really grown as a character over the EG series, and she has come back to Equestia a couple of times. She seems kinda content to stay in the human world, but we saw an alicorn verison (kinda) of her in Friendship Games. It makes me wonder, now that Twilight has pretty much taken over Celestia's role ... Would Sunset Shimmer be the Sun to Twilight's Moon? Okay, not quite, but it's an idea. Sunset saw herself as an alicorn in the mirror and wanted the power, and was banished for it. She's grown and developed in the EQ world, and harnessed the power of friendship to become her own human version of an alicorn. It's almost a parallel of Luna's story, albeit without sisterly jealousy. I wonder; would she come back to Equestria now that Twilight is ruling Princess, and could she ascend to an Alicorn in her home world? Could she have been destined, in some AU fic, to be the balance to Twilight? The more down-to-earth, friendly side, the one that has learned from turning to the bad side and recovered, one that has great magic potential (Celestia wouldn't have taken her as a pupil otherwise!), and one that has a sun-themed name and colour scheme to balance the night themes of Twilight's name and colours. What do you think of the idea?

The title kinda should be 'bred for success', but that carries connotations I don't want O_O So, I think Twilight is the worst pony for a lot of reasons, and a lotta people point out how privileged she really is, even before she became a princess. I don't doubt her destiny was earmarked for that from the beginning, even if I don't like how the show did it and how the show ended. My greater point is this; the episode 'Sparkle's Seven', there's an established rivalry between Twilight and Shining that was encouraged by their parents from the very beginning, and that got me thinking ... Were Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armour bred/made from the beginning for success at the expense of their development? Here's what I mean by that; both of them have gotten some high positions and some incredible lucky breaks. But it seems that this has come at the cost of some humility and friendship for the pair of them, more obvious in Twilight than Shining. She was almost brutal in her desire to win in the trivia contest, going so far as to be outright hostile to Pinkie Pie at times, who only wanted to help. It just seemed so grossly out of character at times, it was almost torture to watch. Here are reasons the pair have gotten pretty much Equestria handed to them on a plate: Both are born in Canterlot, true that's something out of their control. But you can't say that doesn't give them a huge advantage; imagine someone from Appaloosa having to take the train to Celestia's school every day if they could make it Shining Armor becomes Captain of the Royal Guard, an incredibly high position He marries an alicorn Princess, Cadence, whom he just happened to win the heart of in high school. Sure, the comics show him as a 'nerd', but how many nerds are handsome by pony standards with surfer accents? Cadence babysits foal Twilight. How many foals have ALICORN PRINCESSES AS THEIR FOALSITTER???? Twilight just so happens to personally impress Celestia and is taken as her personal student She has an incredible home in Canterlot that she can just abandon at will to move when her Princess commands. She moves and is immediately given a job in a new place, and shortly discovers she holds the most powerful part of the Elements of Harmony, as well as making 5 friends super quick after being hostile to them for quite a bit. Defeats a legendary evil, and that becomes super common. Becomes a Princess in her own right rather suddenly Twilight becomes the aunt of the seemingly first natural-born alicorn foal in all of Equestria, and Shining Armour fathered said foal Shining Armour is Prince Consort of the Crystal Empire, but also still Captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard? It's not clear Shining Armour can rope Celestia and Luna into playing this stupid game with his sister under the guise of increasing security I think their parents are kinda giving this family unhealthy vibes. Who does this super-competitive contest and doesn't reign it in? Especially when Shining is quite a bit older than Twilight? It's clearly damaged Twllight's noggin, as she goes crackers in Sparkle's Seven and the trivia episode. She already had a problem with being the best and being perfect (like in that library episode that was PAINFUL), shouldn't her parents have done or said something about this? Or are they going with it as they groomed Twilight and Shining for perfection and high status from the start? I dunno, Twilight just seems untouchable and it really annoys me, the Sparkle's Seven part reminded me of the Geller Cup from Friends. Ross and Monica had a super unhealthy dynamic as kids that was pretty much emotional abuse from their mother, and their father didn't stop it. It gave me the same vibes. Discuss!

(Whoops sorry! Iooked at a few areas and wasnt sure where to go!)

Hello helloooo ~ I'm looking for some fics to pass the time, but mostly looking for a specific theme. I am looking for dark/selfish/evil Twilight, but NOT Mean 6 Twilight. Original, show Twilight with her flaws brought to the forefront and overriding all else. Post or pre-Princesshood is fine. Not looking for gore or horror. Just Twilight being a meanie!
