The same one wherein the level five adventurer was granted demi-god rank simply for completing a 99.7% finished spell created by a level 20 mage, rather than actually create a new spell.

Also, if the creating of an entirely new spell warrants ascendancy to demi-god rank, I can only assume that Starswirl the Bearded was already an alicorn, given he had created time travel, and 80+% of the magic used in Equestria. Similiarly, anyone who created the other 19% must of also achieved alicorn ranking. And if we're assuming that the storybooks aren't a total nonsensical canon-break, then you don't even need to succeed in creating a new form of magic, since Cadance became an alicorn through little more than stopping a single villain with the power of love - and not even creating a new form of magic in the process.

So yeah. Level 5 adventurer tier = Alicorn rank

Not sure what's so impressive here. So you randomly singled out singular letters within the names to form one word that has nothing to do with the names, show or overall genre. Anyone can do that.

Princess Celes(t)ia

Princess Ca(d)ance

I am both fascinated and horrified as to where Alicorn Twilight will take us. As an analogy, 'You don't use a 20th level mage to clear a cellar of rats.'

I think given that Hasbro has decided to suck all the mystique and grandeur out of alicorns by making them as easy to become as clearing a 5th level adventure campaign, then it's safe to say that alicorns are no longer 'level 20 mage' tier.

She got violent with rainbow dash, one of her best friends. Thats kinda the opposite of Clingy

Not with some of the clingy girls I've seen.

If you compare her behaivior with the symptoms of Schizophrenia, They fit.

There have been studies on it... sadly enough.

People have also said she might be a sociopath... but meh.

I think there is a lot wrong with Pinkie.

Which just makes it so much more right. >:3

Or! She's just really, really clingy and people are reading way too much into it. If you correlate this with another study, called Occam's Razor, then you'd find that this is far more likely. And more right.

Seriously, diagnosing her as Schizophrenic because she's clingy and needy is basically like diagnosing a kid that's bored at school as having ADD. Oh wait, people already do that. Guess the fault lies with the poorly researched diagnostic studies.

And it gave a look into her Psyche.

Its highly possible she's Schizophrenic.

Can you blame the fans for taking it and running?

What I took from that episode is that she's clingy and incapable of being by herself for longer than five minutes without throwing a fit. Sorta the same conclusion I derived from the Cranky Doodle episode.

• Season 3 succeeded in neutering Discord
  

Can't help but agree here. He didn't need to be redeemed since in the first place as he wasn't ever really that malevolent. I've always viewed him as the same as the character they heavily took from in forming him: Q from Star Trek. Q could be arrogant, haughty, self-absorbed and entirely out for his own amusement and entertainment, as well as a highly disruptive and chaotic force - but that never necessarily made him 'evil'. Same with Discord. I never viewed Discord as being 'evil'. Just a self-serving trickster. Heck, Discord could of easily served as a 'neutral' character, amusing himself but in the process providing the necessary conflict for the protagonists to learn new lessons in life by dealing with this adversity.

Welcome to the site. I imagine it's not hard to tell where my interests lie. lol

I DON'T LIKE IT. GO AWAY!

It's fun to tease him - also, it's always fun to have a fellow nord to meddle aorund with and poke fun of each other and the other nords with too.

Noxious.

Speaking with no uncertainty implies that you think your canon is the one and only - that might as well make your way official, by the way you present it. >_____>

The hedgehog got its name because of its peculiar foraging habits. They root through hedges and other undergrowth in search of their favourite food - small creatures such as insects, worms, centipedes, snails, mice, frogs, and snakes. As it moves through the hedges it emits pig-like grunts — thus, the name hedgehog.

Hedgehogs have about five thousand spines. Each spine lasts about a year then drops out and a replacement grows. The spines are hollow and springy with a flexible neck and they are erected by muscles, meaning that a hedgehog is actually very soft to hold unless it's feeling threatened. At the base there is a smooth ball which bends on impact. There may be up to 500 fleas on one hedgehog but the specific hedgehog flea (known as Archaepsylla erinacei) rarely bites humans.

Yo!

Problem is when you speak as though your particular choice in canon is official, which is what you did here.

It was talked about in Twilight's book. Im a lore pig.

I'ma just delegate to this post:

I'd be wary of mixing canon from comics/books in relation to Friendship is Magic, the cartoon. Lore is already pretty vague/loose as it is, and not everyone follows the comics or other outside sources of lore. A good example of how these things don't match up is with the various "official canon" maps we've seen of Equestria. The one found from a promotion, the in-cartoon map, and the comic map are completely different.

Cadence did much less, had no formal instruction prior to her becoming an alicorn, and probably no education. She was an orphaned pegasus in some backwater village, unknown to the world until she ascended and was discovered by Celestia.

..when was this? Did I miss something somewhere in Season Three or somethin'?

I wish I could hate you dea-- *Smacked* Oww.. fiiiine, I wish, err.. for more Sonic Crossovers! Because I'm self-interested like that!

I wished I could hate her dead.

I'm actually a huge fan of Twilight becoming a princess. The idea of the "earning your right to princess status" over having necessariy been born into it sat right with me. I never especiay found it a mary sue quaity. Actually, it just seemed like a natural evolution to her character. I feel like the show had been dropping hints from the very beginning that Twilight was going to ultimately assume the role of princess. Namely, the fact that Princess Celestia took an unusual interest in her as a student. I think it might just be unspoken lore that every pony is born with the potential to be something special, but that not all of them necessarily exemplify all of the qualities necessary to succeed as a leader? From the finale, I was kind of gaging that Starswirl the Bearded could have possibily been Celestia's prize student in the past, with the potential of becoming a prince, or a male alicorn. However, the fact that he couldn't come to terms with understanding the fundementals of caring for others likely prevented that from ever happening --- hence her focus on pushing Twilight towards friendship rather than academic studies?

Either way. I like the change. It actually pushed Twilight into my favorite character spot. She grew a lot as a character from the very beginning, and I was ultimately satisfied with Magical Mystery Cure. I loved the episode. I wasn't bothered that it was a musical, and felt the songs were really strong, and memorable. c: Ultimately, for a one-episode finale, it was pretty epic! Better than I'd really anticipated.

I don't think anyone had a problem with the fact that it happened - just WHEN it happened. That sort of change would of been better suited for the series finale (which if memory serves was Faust's intent). By having it happen right at the end of the third season, when so much more could of happened, cheapens the magnitude and significance of the transformation. Twilight hasn't done THAT much, even though her feats have been quite impressive, and so this is kind of like making an adventuring hero royalty for saving the kingdom a couple of times - an act that would be treated with great favour and praise, but not an immediate spot on the royal family tree (short of being promised a princess' hand in marriage), let alone the power of the gods.

Howdy - I know a Gunner that's a pretty cool roleplayer. Small interwebs!

..What? It adds finality!
