Funny MLP iOS game moment:
I was playing the ball minigame with Pinkie Pie and halfway through it the game glitched and the ball disappeared for a few seconds. Obviously its just a rare "oops" with the game... so why was I shouting "Darn it Pinkie!!" as if she was really there breaking physics?

My wife wishes she got that moment on video.

Hmm I think there's a knock-off line of "You might be a brony when..." jokes to be made from situations just like this.

also, what is the deal with hasbro? do they not get that they can mess wiht a very passionate fanbase?

I'm wondering if the whole Royal Coronation thing and toys is a giant troll by Hasbro. Maybe all the raving in the fandom made someone at Hasbro think it would be cool to make up an event that actually has nothing to do with the show but just happens to make it look like the rumors are true. I can just imagine them cackling to themselves while throwing barrels of gasoline on the fire.

After all, the synopsis and title for the final episode doesn't seem to have anything much to do with a coronation, unless we're missing something (which I suppose is quite likely). M.A. Larson also seemed to be having a lot of fun on Twitter when the episode synopsis was revealed. I wouldn't be surprised if they fooled us all.

My guess for the whole Royal Coronation thing is that the one to be coronated is going to be the little girl who wins the contest to go out to LA.

My one thought on the whole issue is, remember last year. Remember how it turned out awesome?

I think the show has earned a bit of trust, we can complain after it airs if we want.

5. Furthermore I will not appear in anyone's dream as Rainbow Dash in a suggestive fashion
6. Nor may I make the sky green. Again.

8. Just stop making the sky other colors! Blue is perfectly fine! Though I am allowed to change it on holidays.
9. No, Appleoosa does not look better upside down, put the town back to normal!
10. I may not subtly change the constellations to spell out "Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy <3 4 Ever" curse you Twilight…..
11. There is no such thing as "humans" and I will stop referring to them as soon as possible. I will also of course cease winking in random directions (Not! *wink*)
12. I will not make apples taste like oranges
13. Or lemons
14. or pineapples
15. or bananas

20. I will not pretend to be a genie and go around granting people 3 wishes.
21. I will not take anyone's words literally ever again.
22. No, I may not go fishing nowhere near water.
23. Or sit on clouds upside down and start fishing upwards into the sky
24. I may not convince Rarity that she will be protected from dirt forever if she simply prays to the tiki gods of some random tropical jungle while doing strange rituals
25. I may not make Rainbow Dash's pelt match her mane.
26. Nor may I randomly teleport Pinkie Pie to Manehattan just to see what happens.
27. I will not convince Spike that I know anything about dragons. EVER.
28. Furthermore, I will not convince Twilight that I created the world and everything within it.
29. I will not dress up as this "Ebon Dragon" for Halloween that uh…holiday I forget its name, the one with the scary monsters…
30. However I am allowed to have a television to watch his numerous failures while I eat popcorn, and laugh, because I am clearly far better than him.

I don't know. I wouldn't say Cadance and Shining Armor turned out awesome, in fact I wouldn't be the least bit sad if we've seen the last of them (unlikely though), and I didn't exactly cheer their return in S3. The changelings, sure, they were awesome, but the wedding ... they just sort of covered that irksome bit with enough changeling frosting to make us swallow it.

• If the abbreviation 'NMM' doesn't translate first to Nexus Mod Manager when discussing the modding community...
• If being asked to help bake cupcakes causes you to hide all the cutlery in the kitchen...

I agree. I totally look forward to the season finale, wings and all. The show has been fairly consistant with season openers and finishes so I trust that they will keep at least that status quo going.

[erikun]

Well well well, look at what has recently turned up in a toy magazine. *Kind of-Maybe-Sort of Spoilers?*

Spoiler

Show

Well, I think it's pretty safe to say now that Alicorn Twilight is happening.

The first thing I notice is that "Twilight" is taller than the other ponies. The second thing is that Hasbro toy devision has never seemed to get the colors for Luna and Cadance right. Heck, I've seen Luna toys that I was sure was Twilight (or maybe even Midnight) at first glance.

Spoiler

Show

That's a very purplish Princess Luna.

The third is that this isn't even the first time we've seen wings on a unicorn, and those sure don't look like pegasus wings.

Spoiler

Show

Yes, I realize Rarity had wings in Sonic Rainboom. That doesn't mean the toy devision won't slap wings on any pony they want.

Ultimately, with this being a Crystal Empire set and only three other of the main cast there, I'm thinking we're looking at a purplish Cadance rather than an alicorn Twilight.

Even the wings are like previous Cadance toys.

I don't know, that tiara she is wearing looks suspiciously similar to the Element of Magic, and the window on the right of the playset looks like it is shaped like Twilight's cutie mark.

I don't know, that tiara she is wearing looks suspiciously similar to the Element of Magic, and the window on the right of the playset looks like it is shaped like Twilight's cutie mark.

This feels like a reach. The top of the band of the Element of Magic is decorated with filigree, not spikes. It's set with many small jewels below the main one, not one singular jewel. And the main jewel is not a sphere. Can't speak to the window, never having examined or purchased any merch.

I feel like the question of what Celestia wants to use Discord's magic for really needs a canon explanation. Nothing aired this season so far has me more curious than that right now.

Showlestia is technically pink as well. Admittedly, it's pretty close to the lightest shade of pink possible and nobody would actually call it pink (since it's white), but nevertheless it's pink.

- Sombra is a Princess mistook to be a king.
- Sombra got gender-bent and reformed and given her own nation.
- "Queen" Sombra, in more ways than one.
