Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
Finale speculation
Spoilerdepends on the Pony maturity rates and how long they live. It would definatly be odd kinda like someone getting married as soon as they are 18. It might even serve as a reason for why Twilight is initially opposed to the marriage and looks into it more. It might even serve as more motivation for Candence to pretend to be an immortal Alicorn (because age concern get silly when one partner is thousands of years old) Alternatively Twilight has been studying with Celestia longer then we think.
Regarding spoilers about future episodes I find it hard to avoid them. I would prefer that they didn't release them ahead of time at all.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

I'll only list my Twilight Sparkle choice for this, since I only actively searched for her wallpapers.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
Finale speculation:
SpoilerI don't mind Cadence as a third Alicorn or princess/royalty....I just hope she not directly related to Luna and Celestia. She doesn't really fit the theme they have going on....major case of 'one of these things is not like the others.'
Princess of another land, though? Great, let's see what happens.
As for Twi having a brother...eh, I can dig it. Though I hope they work in some mention/hint of him in the episodes between now and the finale (maybe even the upcoming time-travel episode?)

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
Spoiler
Fanfic idea:
Her discovery? Pinkie Pie has been trailing her during her entire life, from birth to death, and the message from the future is about this discovery. Twilight does not beilve it at first, then goes thru family photoes only to find a mare with a fake beard as family friend, the same mare but with strange 70's clothing hanging out with her mother, ect.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
Future ep spoiler:
SpoilerHeh, "future ep". Anyway, that could be a tiiiiiny bit better, the whole "whatever you do, don't (is cut off)" trope is a mite overused, but oh well. The episode itself is likely going to be about worrying about something inevitable, with Twilight generally freaking out and making silly faces as she desperately tries not to do anything that could do something bad. The ending could go a lot of ways, but given the show will likely end on a good note (i.e. no flash-forward to a future Twi surrounded by killer robots). And in any case, the fanfiction is likely going to explode in every possible direction. Forbidden spells in the Canterlot library are one of the things even I had theories about.
Also, if the show is going to do a cyclic timetravel plot wherein Twilight repeatedly goes back in time to warn herself, in a self-induced Groundhog Day Loop, I will probably forgive whatever silly nonsense they'll invariably stuff into the episode otherwise. Mainly because I like Stanislaw Lem's stories, and one in particular features a similar premise, except at a "slightly" grander scale.Last edited by Sean Mirrsen; 2012-03-08 at 04:13 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
♫ What is this place filled with so many spoilers? ♫
♫ Casting its spell that I am now ...oiler? ♫
...eh, I was never good at rhyming.
Random discussion!
So, in Boast Busters, Spike mentions that most unicorns only get a little magic that coresponds to their special talent. Now it seems that there are plenty of spellbooks around, with all sorts of different magics. I'm wondering, is it possible for a unicorn whose talent is not magic to learn the spells in those books? After all, what unicorn would have a talent of flying that would let them cast that wing spell as default? Obviously there can't be that many unicorns with a magic talent; we know of Twilight and Trixie and that's about it (unless you count Star Swirl and Clover). Who's writing all these spells, and for whom?
That probably seems quite disjointed, as I'm just throwing out my thoughts here. TL;DR: How do you think the average unicorn learns magic? Mostly natural aptitude, or studying magic? And could a unicorn learn a spell that is outside their area of expertise (i.e. could Rarity learn a cloudwalking spell if she really studied hard?)
Also, random thought recently occurred to me: What does the title of Over a Barrel refer to? I'm not quite sure I understand where that comes from. Google tells me it means "being in someone's power". I'm not sure how that relates to the episode. Unless it's a pun I'm missing? Were they keeping the apples in barrels?
And to top the post off, random images.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
Saturday's Episode clip
SpoilerThat clip's pretty cool, I laughed at the "next tuesday" bit. Future!Twi sure looks... future, though, for somepony who's less than a week future.
Given the show in general, I'm fairly certain it'll be something silly and non-serious. I'm betting that Twilight doesn't prevent whatever is going to happen and it'll be something really silly and comical like the accidents of Feeling Pinkie Keen rather than... epic pony war.
I'm rather excited to see what they do with this. If nothing else it's a Twilight episode, which is awesome in itself.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
episode speculation:
SpoilerI hesitate to say this because of the high chance of it being likely and possibly enjoyment robbing.
Future Twilight probably meant to say "Whatever you do, don'tSpoilerPanic."
Which means the episode is a Self fulfilling prophesy where Twi causes her own panic and misfortune by going back to prevent it"Winning with friendship means winning at life!"

SpoilerI'm sure you're right. Something self-fulfilling at least, which I'm totally fine with.
Also, unrelated, but Twilight is seriously adorkable in that clip I bet that she'll safely cement her position as Best Pony again with this episode. I was getting worried lately that Rainbow Dash might claim that position

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
Well we know Rarity can cast the Locate Gemstones spell naturally, and she doesn't seem to cast anything other that Locate Gemstones and the basic cantrip-level TK. Only two other unicorns seem to know any magic aside from that: Trixie and Twilight. We know Twilight has a totally hax Talent, and thus doesn't really count for this discussion. We also have no idea how Trixie came upon her magic. So there's really very little to go on.
But my hunch is that most unicorns don't know magic. They get on with basic TK the way most Pegasi just use their wings to get from A to B. At most, they have a single spell they developed naturally. However, all unicorns can learn magic if they bother - again, like a Pegasus who trains willl be a better flyer, a unicorn that trains will be better at magic. Obviously natural talent (not Talent, like Twi has) will factor in how good they get at it.
I'm pretty sure 'wizard' is a legitimate career path for unicorns.Last edited by SlyGuyMcFly; 2012-03-08 at 04:50 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
bet response
SpoilerI'll take that bet. Two bits says he puts in a token appearance somewhere during the middle of the episode, possibly near the time travel areas of the Canterlot library.
video clip response
SpoilerStable time loops are the best time loops. Also I don't see this spoiling the episode at all. We still get to see Twilight in external panic mode, which is distinctly different than her internal lesson zero style panic mode. Plus Twilight geeking out over time travel magic is already the best thing ever.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
we also saw Rarity do quite advanced light show/illusions for the 2nd fashion show with Hoity Toity
also i wouldnt call Rarity's tk cantrip level..we have seen her manipulate multiple items a few times each in its seperate tk field
---now im trying to think if we have seen Twilight do that...we have seen her pick up large amounts in a single tk field, but has she done the multi field thing rarity does
kinda like Twi's tk is raw strength while Rare has better control/versatility
but of course we havent seen bg ponies do enough tk in different situations to judge whether one or both of them is significantly above the curve in tk(though its a safe bet that Twilight is as OP in tk as in everything else magic related)Last edited by otakuryoga; 2012-03-08 at 05:50 PM.

SpoilerActually I think it has something to do with the spell, seeing how it seems to generate sparks. Maybe it's needed to cast the spell, maybe to protect her, which - now that it's damaged, possibly irrepairably - will explain why she can't do the spell again later on.

Re: My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!
She also uses a Fabricate type spell to turn fabric into clotihng in both Boast Busters and Sweet and Elite (so why she still needs the sewing machine is beyond me).
Thinking about it, how many unicorns have we actually seen do any magic other than basic TK? So far I can think of:
Twilight (obviously)
Rarity
Trixie (mostly illusion and transmutation)
Snails (horn light spell, though that might count as a basic spell, since all unicorn horns glow, and I can't think how light spells relate to snails)
Flim & Flam (possibly. Their magic powered their machine, but I'm not sure that counts as a spell so much as just pouring "mana" into it for power)
That's about it. (I'm not counting the princesses).
I know that Lauren said that some of the gadgets in the show would be made from magic to explain away the need to electricity (the example she gave was Rarity's sewing machine if I remember rightly, and of course, the Super Squeezy Cider Machine) so there must be specific spells for that. What else?
