    There is no proof that Celestia and Luna are gods. They are just very powerful. Maybe they are so long lived because of their powerful magic or due to their contact with the elements of harmony. All the alicorns so far have been shown to have very powerful magic. Maybe if a pony has enough natural magic they develop into an alicorn

    I've got them all pegged as being in their 20s with the exception of Pinkie Pie possibly being 18 or 19. Twilight is the equivalent of a grad student, others are all business owners or employed in positions that require independent work and responsibility Pinkie Pie despite planning out some important parties seems to still be new to working and being on her own. The Pies were reluctant to leave her to run the shop alone so she must not have been employed there very long

    Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash seem to be the closest out of the main group. They seem to be seen more times away from the others doing things on their own and Rainbow Dash is protective of Fluttershy. This is why people get behind that pairing. They are already close friends, and since this is a cartoon being discussed on the internet, obviously they are lesbian lovers

    Fluttershy

    I think Pinkie Pie is the youngest. She is definitely the least responsible. Fluttershy is a year older then Pinkie Pie I always say Applejack and Rarity as the oldest. Although I base this off of maturity which doesn't always go with age. I always saw Rarity as one of the more mature ones. She acts dramatic but she takes on a ton of responsibility owning her own business and not having any help with it

    All the ponies and Dash

    I think there is more evidence that Twilight comes from an upper circle of society. Even before we found out she was babysat by a princess we know she lived in Canterlot, where unicorns seem to be aristocratic, she got a chance to go to the sun raising ceremony, her parents had connections to get her an entrance exam at an exclusive school, and her brother is an important part of the military at a somewhat young age- possibly he had connections. None of it is really concrete but there isn't any evidence she comes from an average family either.

    Adding a seventh mane character does not sound like a good idea to me. Way too many shows have gone down that route with disastrous results since the new character is usually thrown in to either bump up the ratings or because the producers think they know how to make a better character then the writers. I think the method they have going now works fine. The show already has a strong supporting cast, with the CMC almost having mane character status. New characters should be start as supporting characters and if they are popular and interesting enough used more. I would like to see Cadence and Shining Armor get some more episodes but it would feel unnatural if they suddenly where mane characters with a thin explanation of why they are living in ponyville

    In the first season Fluttershy is too shy and timid to tell the others she is afraid of dragons and goes with them. By the end of season two she is able to stand up to her friends and refuse to see the dragons. In both instances she still acts like Fluttershy but her growth has led her to act like Fluttershy in a different way

    She relies on her few spells looking more impressive then they are so its deceptive but it isn't a con. She never tricked anybody out of their money. Its like saying a magician is a conman because he doesn't really cut people in half. Now if she said she was going to do a trick, collected payment, and left without doing it then she would be conning them

    When I was reading about Faust making FiM it was mentioned that it was assumed girls would watch boys shows, but not the other way, which is why boy shows got more attention and investment
  12. elsporko
    She's still not conning anybody. Its basically the same business model as The Harlem Globetrotters. They come in, talk up a big game, throw out a lot of flash and razzmatazz, solve a mystery with Scooby Doo, and take off without anybody posing a real challenge.

    It might be good to get it separate from that thread so it can be the focus. I think they can see the aura but nobody noticed with Cadence. Its probably not something ponies really pay attention to since its common to them. It would be like somebody changing eye color or their dominate hand. People close to you would notice but the Changling queen made sure that everybody near her was mind controlled or occupied with the threat. Its unlikely Twilight would catch it since it had been such a long time since she had been around Cadence.

    I'm confused about your rant. Can you please expand on it? I understand he worked alot in the background but he also was taking actions that went against the magic goverment. He couldn't just go around killing death eaters. That would require knowing who they were and being able to prove who they were. Snape was his double agent. He needed to keep him close His fault is keeping Potter in the dark which he admits.

    Trixie isn't a con artist. She just heavily plays up her powers. She didn't con anybody out of money.
  16. elsporko
    In universe reason Twilight said unicorn could be because using the horn to cast magic is unicorn magic. Twilight was comparing Cadence to unicorns because they use the same kind of magic.

    She is a traveling performer. Her home was destroyed but prior to that she had a home. The nature of her show probably works best with a new audience. All she did was say she is the best and show up some ponies who tried to prove her wrong. That can be entertaining enough for a show that rolls into town but if she was in a set venue people probably wouldn't travel to see her insult them.

    Looks like I need to do some basic research when trying to talk instead of going off of memory. Although if Celestia could use the elements by herself why did she leave them in the castle instead of continuing to use them? Maybe the elements need multiple users to be powerful so she couldn't wield them effectively by herself. Six ponies to draw the power from made them powerful enough to help Luna rather then banish her
  19. elsporko
    So I just rewatched the episode. Why were the Cutie Mark Crusaders the flower girls?
  20. elsporko
    Celestia was unable to use the elements as half of them belonged to Luna. Thats why Nightmare Moon was banished.
  21. elsporko
    Exactly. It was clever, people got some good discussion out of it and it wasn't really all that disruptive. Good times were had by all
  22. elsporko
    Celestia seems like she is way more straight up and honest with Twilight then Dumbledore ever was with Potter. The only time she was deceptive that I can think of is in the first two episodes, which was probably necessary because telling Twilight that Nightmare Moon was coming would not have helped her make friends

    Its also worth noting that those articles appeared to be saying that playing sports tend to lead to more confidence. I don't think anybody is arguing against this. Competing even helps Rainbow Dash's confidence. Rainbow Dash's problem is that she has difficulty with internal self esteem. She feels good when people reward her in a positive manner. When she isn't being rewarded she doesn't feel good, they don't need to be putting her down just not giving praise. Not wanting to admit that she has self esteem issues Rainbow Dash talks herself up alot. If others think she is confident then she must be confident.

    If he is a troll it was a really bad attempt. A good troll is somebody whom you can't even be sure if they are a troll (unless they are going for meta trolling where they troll by acting like an obvious and really bad troll) A good troll also has to contribute something, humor, controversy or even just rile the other users against him. Trolling has to contribute some sort of entertainment back to the community

    I'm surprised with the quick banning. This topic is really dumb but he didn't seem too malicious. Thats why I wondered if he did something else that caused the banning.
