My Little Pony LXXXIV: That's Not Canon Yet!

Images of the parents of the Royal sisters that resembled that(probably false) are part of what led to the Crystal Ponies to belive that their mysterous Progenitor Race whose name as been lost to time were "Crystal Alicorns"

That's SoLIM Canon Now.

[DigoDragon]

She does, alone of all the ponies, introduce herself as "the Unicorn." Trixie comes close with her "most talented unicorn in Equestria" and "the highest-level unicorn," but as far as I know, Rarity is the only "the Unicorn."

Huh, then I guess that comes as a bit of amazement with my daughter thinking in that way.

That's SoLIM Canon Now.

You should save that for the game's next OOC thread. :3

CMC get cutie marks in new 3rd-party toy line.

Interesting. It seems that those same cutie marks were shown in a cookbook, so... maybe canon in the future? They seem appropriate enough.

Sweetie's for sure. Apple Bloom's is kind of... boring? Sure you could say it'll be an apple because that is what the family always get for marks, but I would hope there'd be something more to it. Reflect her creative side. Not sure what a butterfly means for Scootaloo.

It means the artist got lazy and copypasted G3 Scootaloo's cutie Mark even though Fim Scoots is somewhat more athletic and signifigantly more of a tomboy, and that's not a very good comparison.

Sweetie Bells Mark, IIRC, is copied from her G3 Counterpart as well.

I get the butterfly, sort of. Why would Scootaloo get a cutie mark of an animal that starts out life entirely ground-bound, but goes through an amazing metamorphosis where it gains the ability to fly? Yup, can't think of any reason there.

Would also indicate Fluttershy being involved, which could be interesting. Maybe Rainbow Dash sees a parallel between Scootaloo being a weak flier (at best) and what Fluttershy had to go through due to her lack of flying skill as a filly. Could be a fun story, and I could certainly see Fluttershy being able to teach Scootaloo a few things Scootaloo lacks. Like patience.

Of course, hilarity ensues when Scootaloo tries to make her own cocoon as she didn't quite get that Fluttershy was talking in metaphors.

I wondered why my daughter knew those cutie marks. She watched some G3 stuff so that must be where she's quoting. I think Spike was blue in G3... that's about all I remember.

That does work better than my idea of 'Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee'. Though doesn't have much to do with talent as I was thinking of it.

Don'y you love how neither the human form dolls nor human form box art loos anything like the actual human form characters in the show?

Yeah, I noticed that happens with most of the toys. The mane color never seems to match on any mini.

Also, I've just seen a minifig for Rainbow Powered Cheerilee today. I wonder how that's supposed to work.

Nice! I wonder if those cutie mark patterns would look good on big cube-shaped beanbag chairs.

My daughter was quizzing me on my knowledge of ponies with a guessing game. Stuff like "I'm related to Applejack, but I have freckles". I was getting them right so she decided to up the ante: "I'm a unicorn. Who am I."

And who was the first one? Big Mac, Babs Seed, Goldie Delicious, Applejack?

Of course, hilarity ensues when Scootaloo tries to make her own cocoon as she didn't quite get that Fluttershy was talking in metaphors.

Hehe! That would be like the cocoon Millie worn when the Ozy and Millie webcomic got renewed after a pause.

Update: Now I'm imagining that Apple Bloom has painted Ms. Peachbottom's cutie mark on Scootaloo's flank to prank her.

Pony Dazzlings are a little odd, since we know they were non-ponies even back in Equestria. But I don't have a problem with it, personally.

Anyway, Sonata sure is popular isn't she? Not that she shouldn't be adored and worshiped. But as always, it seems people are falling over themselves to make her all repentant and nice. Me, I prefer to think of her as the most unrepentant and evil of the three. Adagio is just mad for power and revenge, Aria just wants to feed (or generally apathetic), but Sonata clearly enjoys being evil. I can't imagine Sonata feeling sorry for those she hurts or seeking to redeem herself. She's clearly having far too much fun doing what she does.

Happy Birthday!

A thought on Chaos Campaign~

Spoiler

Show

It sucks when one of those random civs pop up and steal your planets. One thing I do in m games is not build space ports on all my planets and keep a troop transport ship on all of them. It's a bit metagamey, but when the planet finds it can't build spaceships and part of their population suddenly left the planet into orbit... >:)

Barring that trick, I always try to retake the planets I lost ASAP. The computer opponents seem a bit slower at that, so I take advantage and liberate some of theirs for my own without needing to risk war with anyone but the new civ. Love how it's all chaotic. Those are my favorite games.

Unfortunately it happened while I was already at war with the Changlings and Humans. And it's really messed up my economy as a result. Luckily I do have rather massive cash reserves, so I'm still plugging along.

In the end though? Doubt it will matter, cause the Dread Lords have shown up somewhere beyond my sight meaning I'm depending on the Humans and Changlings to actually focus on them instead of on me, or for Sombra to somehow manage to kill them.

No, seriously, the most visible tip-off that Adagio Dazzle is some sort of unnatural creature is that she doesn't visibly buckle under the weight of that huge bundle of hair she has. If she took out that hairpiece, it would probably reach her ankles or something.

It's three times wider than she is, for goodness sakes.

Really, if her hair got wet, it would probably weigh more then her, which seems like a really terrible fashion choice for a aquatic creature.

I don't know. If there are the only three Sirens, and assuming that the Human World runs on a similar timescale as Equestria(Thus they're over a thousand Years Old) The Sirens would have to be Legendaries.

Better use an Ultraball, or maybe even a Master Ball to be on the safe side.

That sort of thing is manageable...just. With assistance from a chiropractor and sometimes a surgeon (and a comprehensive health plan to pay for it). Just ask the actresses who play Megara at the Disney parks.

I've discovered a surprising pony dislike.

Ponified Dazzlings.

Especially interacting with other ponies. I can only think that it's a mental objection to clearly non-pony Equestrian creatures being depicted as ponies. Once or twice was ok, but now... Now it's starting to really bug me at a level far beyond how it deserves.

Odd.

Kay. I'll make a note of it. But Sonata might get a free pass, if only because she's adorable.

Don'y you love how neither the human form dolls nor human form box art loos anything like the actual human form characters in the show?

I mean, I'm not the first one to mention this but looking at Sonata Dusk my first thought is "Zombie Mime Prostitute"

They're meant to compete with Monster High.

Science rules.

...No, I'm not quite sure why they used Pinkie instead of Twilight.

I don't think Twilight has the requisite boundless energy to be Bill.

I just don't, most of the time, because I am, and let's be fair, basically, A Right Git.

Is there a Left Git somewhere?

With a name like 'Two Princesses, one Queen', what did you expect?

Ah, but remember they were banished by Starswirl, who's got considerable associations with time manipulation. It may be that they were banished to the future, perhaps to a time closer to some ultimate "solution" (such as we saw in the movie) and have only been there for ten years.

Though they may still be legendaries; I'm not too familiar with Pokemon, but I understand Mewtwo to have only recently (relative to his canon appearance) come into existence.

Spoiler: Off Topic thingy about most powerful Pokemon

Show

Mewtwo is also a modified offspring/clone of Mew, depending on if you're going by the Game lore or the Everything Else Lore, respectively.

Mew is believed to be the genetic ancestor of all Pokemon, and considering that it has a very wide move pool and can learn literally all of the HM,TM, and Tutor Moves in each game it appears in, it's a reasonable assumtion to make.

Mewtwo, while being less versatile, has greater raw power than Mew Stat wise.

In Terms of Pure Stats, Mewtwo is stronger than most of the Legendary Pokemon. For Two Generations it was literally the most powerful.

Mewtwo has a move called Psystrike, which uses its' special attack stat to calculate the damage of a physical attack.

In the XY Generation, because both of it's Mega Evolutions, in terms of Raw Stats it's the most powerful once again.

Both versions of Mega Mewtwo have stats even higher than Arceus, who is literally the Pokemon World's Capital G Creator God.

So, if Age is a factor in Legendary Status, Mewtwo gets himself an exception.

Question: Is it true that Twilight's friends will all become alicorns in season 05?? If this is a rumor, then what is the flimsy basis for this rumor?

That theory has been flying around in different forms since the start of the show. Except maybe for merchandising screw-ups and show staff jokes, I can think of nothing even vaguely resembling evidence of it possibly happening that we know of.

[Rater202]

I've seen nothing of the sort, but if immortality is part of the Alicorn Pakage, then it would explain the "Twiight Won't Outlive her Friends" thing that was floating around.

If it's true, I could see it as either a good or bad thing.

Good: Twilight and her friends would Be Equal, which is nice.

Bad: Look at how many people bitched and ragequit after one Mane 6er became an Alicorn.
