It continously amuses me that this conversation is based upon the false premise there is some kind of gender inbalance in Equestria.
Next you will tell me everypony has several identical twins running around, often going to the same events at the same time.

The way I see it, Rarity is starting to see Spike as a work-in-progress; he's not quite the gentlecolt of her dreams yet, but he's steadily getting there, and she'll be right there waiting for him when he's finally ready.

How do you retain sanity/your view on life and be able to enjoy things such as this show?
So scared of change. How can anyone ever be happy in life? How can anyone ever enjoy things such as this show without being mocked and ridiculed? What changes happen to personality when you get a salaried job?
Scared sockless.
Know thyself.
You define who you are, and nothing else. You are not defined by what others think of you, you are not defined by your situation in life, and you are not defined by your job or your hobbies or your responsibilities. If you don't know who you are as a person, there is the danger of letting other people tell you who you are. Refer to the Belkar and Shojo mental conversation.
As for the show... that follows a similar issue. I know why I like the show, and there's nothing wrong with those reasons. If anyone wants to challenge me on that, they can go right ahead. My defenses are built on strong reasoning. There's nothing wrong with liking good writing, solid humor, and great music. So yeah, it has a lot of girly things visually, but that's a price I'm willing to pay. It's worth it. Besides, TV has entirely too much Dark N' Gritty stuff now anyhow. It's refreshing.

I'd put Ponithid as having been Primary Red, Secondary Green or possibly just Red.
Bleakmane would be Primary Black, Secondary Blue. (Joyreaper is probably Black or Black / Red).
I'm not sure who my new OC really is yet, but my instincts say she might be Red/White.
The nWoD Virtues and Vices are also a good system.
Let's see;
Ponithid is Hope/Gluttony
Bleakmane might be Fortitude/Pride. (Joyreaper perhaps Prudence/Wrath)
Unformed proto-OC? Hmm. Hope/Wrath, or possibly Hope/Lust (Though not in the sexual sense in this case).
Let's see, how would my pony-related OCs match up...
Well, as I said before, TS-407 is still developing his personality, so he'd be Colorless for the time being. I could see him developing into White, Blue, or maybe Black (if ponythread is the only influence he gets). Red doesn't make much sense, and Green is obviously right out. I've got no idea for Virtue or Vice.
Regis (the human OC from my fanfic) is kinda tricky. His main character concept is that he has to control his strong emotions (fear especially) with rationality. I'm thinking that would be best represented by Red/White or Red/Blue/White. Virtue/Vice would be Fortitude/Sloth?Wrath? It's difficult to say.
As for me, I'd guess Blue/Red and Hope/Sloth, but these kinds of things are hard to judge about yourself.
It also occurs to me that Rarity is a perfect example of Charity/Greed.

UFOs 1-3 and terror 1 (first and second attempts)

Dear Princess Celestia,
It's me, Colgate. This was supposed to be Lyra's team, but she and Bon-Bon were messing around drawing fire in the first mission and I ended up having to do all the sniping. And then I got promoted to sergeant just like that. So uh, I guess this is my team now. I was going to call it team brushy, but somepony said that was too boring, so I'm calling us team Clean Sweep instead. It's close enough. And we've gotten good at making sure we don't leave a single alien standing.
So, I guess I should introduce the team. We're basically all the backups. We've got Lyra and Bon-Bon on point, I'm doing command, Derpy's on heavy weapons (that filly loves her minigun, what can I say?), Vinyl Scratch and Octavia are frontline support, and Cloud Kicker and Dr. Whooves have been watching the ship and doing the medic thing when we need them.
The first couple missions were super dooper easy. There was only one sectoid the first time and I sniped it easy-peezy. This was a breeze compared to dental school.
Second and third missions were a bit tougher, but we really lucked out. The third UFO landed, and we captured the entire thing intact. We're almost done researching alien alloys and I can't wait to get some body armor. Bon-Bon and Lyra made a great team too. I'm pretty sure Bon-Bon has been keeping some secrets from us though. That filly is basically a ninja pony. It's pretty much the only way I can explain what happened when she was the first into that alien ship. Door opens, they rain fire on her, and not a single shot touches her. I guess you could blame it the aliens not being able to hit the broad side of a barn, but if you'd seen Bon-Bon flipping around like she was in the Matrix, you'd understand what I mean.
Our first terror mission...didn't go so well though. At first, it seemed like it would be okay. Our new tank rolled out first and out we went after it. But no sooner had we disembarked the ship than a massive bomb went off. I...was the only survivor. I panicked, I'm sorry, I just, I didn't know what to do. Once every round in my gun was gone, I regained my senses and ran back into the ship and took off.
Lucky for us, I didn't get this hourglass cutie mark for nothing. A little time travel later, and it's like the whole thing never happened. And the second time was way easier. Instead of exploding us when we came out of the ship, a bunch of the floaty alien guys were just hanging out in the open. Let me tell you, watching that first cannon shell collapse one of those toad-things was beautiful. And you won't believe this, but I guess Lyra has been working on her aim ever since I got promoted ahead of her. We didn't bring any capture equipment, but Lyra's shot on the leader was non-fatal! Our very first terror mission and we brought back a live floater leader. I'm so happy.
Your faithful dentist,
Colgate
P.S. This letter is also your notice of conscription, princess. We're opening a second base in Istanbul and you and princess Luna are going to be running it. Surprise!
Awesome! Hope you're having a lot of fun with it! What have you been researching right off the bat? (I take it you built a alien containment facility right away if you got a prisoner.)

the problem is that magic's colors are only tied to ideology some of the time. zombies are black creatures but by being mindless they can't be ideologically aligned with it.
similarly, thubby's status as an eldritch abomination makes him black, but everything he does is trying to unhinge reality and bring the ultimate force of madness into the world. madness being a distinctly red thing, but is touched on in black and blue also.
so ya, i guess black works. maybe he'd have a red ability if he were a card.
@forum explorer: my bad, ill go fix that.

Okay, I think I got it. Diego/Elixir (basically the same character) is blue/black/white. I study alchemy because I want knowledge (blue), I want knowledge because I want power (black), I want power to protect myself and those I care about (white). I could also make arguments for green since I do a lot of tinkering with nature.
Virtue... dunno. Temperance? Vice... I could go with all of them but Sloth or Envy work well.

I'd like some citations too. I get the feeling that a lot of the hints we're given about season 3 are hidden in the depths of any number of the ton of interviews and panels we've had from various cons and whatever. And I'm not sure we get enough of a summary of the major points from those. That's often my impression, at least.
