Yes I was, and I still want to see Kamen Rider Twilight! :lol

Someone doesn't like Twilicorn...
I used to not like the wings and royal demigodhood, then various canon sources made it stop being a shark jumping.

Plus, there was this:

I don't hate it, but I don't love it, either.
The elevation of Twilight makes her less relatable. It's harder to project yourself onto her because her problems are undermined because now she's royalty (For fixing a problem she set in motion, strangely...)

Oh, and what the hell?
Starswirl made so many spells he has an entire section devoted to him in the Royal Canterlot Library, including a spell that allows the user to travel through time, and he gets nothing, but Twilight finishes one spell he started to create, and she gets coronated?
Equestria might be a bit sexist :p

Well, she was probably nobility before her brother's wedding, what with the having princess/goddess as here personal teacher and quasidemigod as a foalsitter and probable family friend.

And on Starswirl, I'd say Twilight's mind was more plastic than his when it comes to things like achieving royal status and cosmic powers.
Think about it, Celestia said it was his LAST spell and that he didn't understand friendship like Twilight. Now, recall that Clover the Clever had Starswirl as a teacher in the time before Celestia and Luna's rule. This implies that Starswirl was an ancient Mage that had his whole life revolve around magic, like Twilight, but that he was a professional at it and was quite famous. Thus, it's safe to say he probably had friends, but they were more like scientific colleagues than buddies you go and drink cider with on a Friday night. As such he most likely only discussed magic, with magic users, in magic related settings for a long time.
So when his life's twilight (see what I did there?) drew close he started on his magnum opus. But it required knowledge on friendship's magic. He tried to use his understanding of friendship, but it didn't work and he was to old and set in his old "friends=superiors, colleagues, assistants and students" ways to change his viewpoint.
Then came Twilight, possibly endowed by the Element of Magic itself to understand the Magic of Friendship better than even Pinkie "Fourze" Pie. Every time she learned about friendship in any situation, she gained more knowledge than others would in that situation, as if she had an EXP. Multiplier active. Thus, when Celestia saw Twilight was ready to fulfill her destiny, she sent Twilight Starswirl's Last Spell.

Uuuuuuuh...

I finally have designs for the Harmoranger megazords, HarmoPony Megazord and Harmony Dragonzord. Now i wish i could draw mechas. *Sits in the corner.*

You know I just noticed something... My school's team name is the colts. Spooky yes?

Yes!

Just told one of my BFFs that I was brony... apparently the second f was a lie. :(

I'm not sure whenever to laugh at that or cry at that.

Man loses a friend over a TV show and your fist instinct is to laugh?
That's needlessly cruel.

No i mean the way i read that made me laugh. I feel bad for him though.

So I saw the season 2 finale last night. Holy crap, I think that was one of the best episodes so far, I mean it had everything. (Who is shining armors VA? He sounds so friggin familiar?) I think this is probably of the few episodes Ill go back and watch for fun later :lol

Oh and the part where Applejack puts her hat back on durin the weddin, I cracked up. I mean that is exactly what I would do, not wear it the whole time, but when nobody is lookin, put my hat on :D

He played Megaman in the battle network anime and Vert wheeler in the hotwheels cartoons.

I love A Canterlot Wedding! It was so much fun that it's my 3rd favorite episode of the series!
After hearing that it was originally going to be a standalone episode about how "People grow up and change, and you have to accept that" I'm so glad we got the Changeling plot and all that :lol

There are like 4 (5 with mine included.) MLP Sentai stories being written on Fim fiction at the same time. XD

Same here.

You still have us. *hugs guncannon*

But, if that's what breaks your friendship, then he was never a worthy friend to begin with, as far as I'm concerned.

Aaaargufufuzfuagh double post!

So are changlings supposed to be like zombie ponies or just designed that way?

They're supposed to be Insects.

They're just designed that way.
They're G-rated succubi, not insects. Hell, outside of their wings, they share nothing in common with insects.
And no, until confirmed as such, I don't believe the "Chrysalis gave birth to all of them" fan theory people push to force a connection to insects, as the Changelings are capable of thought, breaking the tenuous connection to being mindless drones a la insects.

So...the dude making my bling bag Wizard is doing a giveaway for a blind bag scale Discord...

According to the rules, the contest ended last month, on June 7th.

He meant July :lol

Idea that showed up in my head earlier for Harmoranger.

>Harmony Blue saves human Scootaloo.
>Scootaloo goes gaga for Harmony Blue getting a poster of her for her locker.


I haven't actually written anything for this yet i just thought i'd share it.

You're still trying to structure your story as if it's being presented through a visual medium, not a written one.

Really? I just like doing one filler chapter before doing something that progresses the narrative.

Why do you need any filler?
It's a story, not a TV show.

I don't really know, the filler stuff just pops into my head when i try to write stuff that's actually relevant. So i post the filler while i try to write the good stuff. I do that a lot.

Really? I'm the opposite. Whenever I think of stories, I think of huge dramatic things first.

I guess for me it's just what's left of my early writing days when i wrote Sonic fiction, it was mostly comedy.

I think of both at the same time :lol I try to think of good stories, finally figure it out, then have 20 random ideas for nonstory stuff :lol

HOLY CRAP!
I figured out why Shining Armor souds familiar.
Lasse Aeon from Gundam 00 and Iceman from Xmen Evolution.

OMG and Big Mcintoshs VA is Ian Vashti from 00.

Yeah, pretty much every VA was in at least one Gundam series. Usually SEED.

EDIT: Look at what I just found, Matrix.

Of course he's an Alicorn.

Kind of feel that Kaito would be the one to do something like that... but still, it's funny. :lol

Yeah, but Egophiliac mentioned in the Tumblr post "Decade's power to take candy from children" :lol

A TV show is merely a medium to tell a story. As such, filler is needed in a written story precisely for the same reason as in a TV show; it's not always fun to focus on the plot. The reader/viewer/audience needs time to take a breather and gather themselves together. It also can create versimilitude, in the sense that not every second of story is related to the main plot. I could tell my story of today from 12:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the main plot being of me getting my permit, but not all of it will relate to me getting my permit. Heck, about nine hours of that story is me sleeping, the earliest form of action being waking up to find that I have about 10 minutes to perform the fajr prayer. It's… not the best example, since the opening is filler, but the filler adds a touch of versimilitude to the story.

You and Ego are both on my list now.
I'll be arriving shortly.

No, it's not.
Filler isn't needed in the slightest. Filler is used to pad out the length of the work to make it seem longer than it actually is. Filler is used by TV shows to fit a 35 episode story into the run time of 49 episodes.

Using it as a "Breather" is a nebulous point. It's still a story. The breather is the space between chapter 9 and chapter 10. You ruin pacing and flow if you go from having Character X kill Character Y, but then decide "Well, that was too intense. We need to have a quick break." Then dedicate the next chapter to a inconsequential side character that has no bearing on the events just to give the audience a break is meaningless. Once again, you're trying to treat it as if it's a TV show and chapters need "Breather episodes" every once and a while.

Using filler as verisimilitude might work, but then it runs the risk of being excessive. You set yourself up for readers asking "What's the point of this?" when you describe a character's morning routine, then travel to work, then their work day in full, just to pad out the story length.

Filler's necessity varies depending on the kind of story. Some stories, such as a frequently updated fanfiction, do need something that allows the audience to take a break. Other stories, like a children's storybook, don't need something to make it longer, as the story is too short. Filler is a tricky device that only works when used properly, just like any other literary device.
