As I've gone through FiM, I've realized (in what I hope is not a very controversial take) that the mane six, while extremely well written, aren't always the best representations of the "Elements of Harmony." I've given it some thought, and I think I've discovered better "elements" to each of their personalities, and I want to share them. I'm curious what people's opinions on this idea are, and what other ways you have interpreted them. I will note, these aren't intended to exactly be elements of "harmony" still, but rather aspects I feel like can be a good trait for people to understand and learn from. Pinkie: Laughter Starting off real basic, Pinkie is pretty one-note, and there isn't much changing for her element. Her entire spiel is partying, having fun, and that still shines through. It's important to keep a positive attitude in life, especially in the chaotic world we live in. Fluttershy: Empathy Essentially kindness, but with a deeper meaning. Fluttershy often tries to uncover what it is that is bothering someone, and tries her best to help. If you can put yourself in someone else's shoes, it does a lot to help understand what they might be going through. It's also the backbone of compassion. Rainbow Dash: Confident (But Modest) Although our favorite spunky flyer starts out headstrong and full of herself, she tempers out over time. Confidence is important to have, but it's also a tight line to walk. It's honestly a core part of her character, and it's important to believe in yourself. Just don't take it too far. Applejack: Dedication Honest as she is, Apple is more of a hard worker than anything. Whether it's pursuing a goal or learning a new skill, dedication is needed to move you forward. Sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation, but you'll never improve if you become stagnant. Rarity: Passion I used to get some mixed responses from friends when I talked about how much I like Rarity. She can be a bit of a drama queen, but in a way, I find her deeply relatable. Not outwardly, heavens no. But if anyone here is an artist, compare the way she acts out loud to your internal thoughts where you're deep in the zone. It can be chaotic, it can be dramatic, and you sometimes go all over the place trying to make your craft express your vision. Not only is she a very creative person, she's very passionate about her craft. Finding what you are passionate about can become the driving force of your life. Twilight: Studios (With Balance) Like Rainbow, this might at first sound like the antithesis of her character. Twilight is always excited to learn, and was a massive bookworm at the start of the show. Wanting to learn, even if you're not one for the school setting, is important because it keeps you aware of your own limits of knowledge. Sometimes people think they know more about a topic than they really do, and being open to learning can help avoid that mindset. The show does illustrate a good point, you need to strike a balance between your social life and personal pursuits.

Cheerilee is such a wonderful pony. She's one of my top favorite side characters. Have one of my goofy 30 second mspaint pony doodles!

I've been slowly going through the series with a friend and we're almost near the very end... Like 5 or 6 episodes left. We're saving the finale for when we meet up at a convention in December, but I am not ready for it to end. I pretty sure it's what convinced me to start writing my own side story in fanon. I will read fimfic until the heat death of the universe if I much. This series will never end in my heart <3

Of all people, it started with Rarity. Then it became Coco pommell.. and then magically it evolved into the best pink haired pony around. Enjoy my silly little scribbles

I guarantee my list is to become longer as time goes on (probably with bookmarks so my tab list doesn't become a visual toy box). But what sites do YOU keep in rotation? I'd love to find more places worth checking up regularly.
