cider float 2,538 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 I'm guessing this was to encourage children to get off their smartphones and computers and read books. I feel that I had a falling away from books as well. However from the recent episodes she seems to have a falling away from books as well. Anyone else feels this way? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJLeeTeam 914 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 Maybe it was to get kids off from electronics but we haven't seen much books in her castle yet.

colt .45 259 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 I think it was to show that "nerds" can also be "heros". And that knowledge=power. For the record, I have the "Journal of the Two Sisters", the "Journal of Friendship", and recently the "Elements of Harmony" as E-books. ...and I plan on reading more on my tablet. With that, I have also bought a hard copy of "Journal of the two Sisters" for my five year old niece (who recently got into reading because of 'read it and weep". She loves Dash) Chicks that like to read books are awesome! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcheoPony 76 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 I highly doubt that, I'm more inclined to thing the "nerds can be heroes" approach. Lauren in part put her together like that to show that you can still be nerdy and into girly stuff and be awesome. That's the whole reason of the M6 archetypes in the show, Twilight's nerdyness is just one of the archetypes the kids can relate too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight 7,287 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 (edited) I feel like it has nothing to do with getting kids off of technology, but more with the mane 6, each pony has a different personality. It can easily show that any type of girl, no matter the personality, can be strong and be a hero. Rainbow is athletic and confident, Rarity likes fashion and is also confident in her own femininity, Pinkie Pie is hyperactive and loves to laugh, Applejack is a tomboy who likes to rough around and work, Fluttershy is shy yet strong on the inside, and Twilight Sparkle is nerdy and highly intelligent. No personality is better than the other and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. Twilight just happens to be intelligent and enjoy learning/reading; a personality type that some girls may be able to relate to.

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 I think that she just really likes to read. Done. Nail on the head. You're welcome. As does Rainbow ever since the events of "Read It and Weep" (provided it isn't a Twilight-authored guide to griffons xD ). 2 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination.

JonasDarkmane 19,787 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 I don't know, there haven't been that many episodes yet, however, I think they could include more books with her .

sweetolebob18 728 June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 To be fair, she did lose her entire library when Tirek blew up her library home in Twilight's Kingdom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLPFanatic34 3,234 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 She simply loves reading and learning about new things in books, to be honest who doesn't love to read lol, I sure as heck do!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grepper 3,192 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I don't think she's obsessed with books to encourage kids to read; it's just part of her nerdy character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 That could be part of it as that was obviously the message of the episode Read it and Weep but it is also to show that it is okay to be a little bit "nerdy" as well of course being a major part of Twilight's character. We havent seen it as much in more recent episodes but is still in fact there. Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I thought this thread said About Twilight's obsession with her looks. Well books=knowledge right? Knowledge = power right? How can you blame Twilight for her obsession it's not like it is a bad thing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right but I also think it's related to the shows theme(fantasy). When it comes to magic, most fantasy, is known for that magic comes either naturly or by knowledge,sometimes like in mlp, it's both. So I think despite her personal interest in Books, it also comes from her magic training, she's from the beginning thout that learning comes through hours of practise and reading a lot.

[NULL] 906 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 She reads books, because the internet, computers, or other more accessible means of getting information don't exist in the MLP universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
