Fluttershy can stare down dragons and even a cockatrice. She has a special bond with animals and is an amazing singer. Also she became a world famous model.
don't forget..she is also world champ of Shhh!

Okay, well have a game instead then. The game wherein Shining Armor throws his wife over and over and you get to control her flight and direction. Hate Cadance as a character? This is your chance to crash her into black Sombra gems over and over. Love Cadance? This is your chance to go for a record in crystal heart collection. Just want to see a silly picture of Cadance justifiably angry at Shining Armor? You should also play this game.
I also have a question I'm hoping ponythread can help me out with. Does anyone know the first fanfiction to call Derpy Hooves by name? I'm thinking it was late October or early November 2010, right after she was released, but if anyone can authoritatively point me to the first one, you'll get citation credit in my project.

Bubbles used the name "Derpy", but not Derpy Hooves. I'm not sure about other early fanfics, nor which ones used the Hooves last name.
Providing a little something myself, does anyone else like these? I'm not you'd call them - I'm sure there's a name for it somewhere - but they are quite catchy. Pinkie Pie Fluttershy Twilight Sparkle

Actually Royal Crystal dialect is a very complex language where slight inflections change the word completely. To the untrained observer, there are only three words: "Slave", "Crystals", and "BLARG"

and the big finale...

Eh, I think up to the end of the Chunin Exam Arc he was still salvagable. With a lot of work. I think Itachi, world-class seven-asterisking moron that he was1, just broke him with that second... thingy which I can't be bothered to look up the name of. I've read enough Naruto fanfic to believe it is possible, though maybe not probable. (And also that any opportunity to mock him via parody should be relentlessly abused, because I'm pretty sure that would really, really, grind his gears is being laughed at and have his jumped-up-selfish-wankst mocked and belittled, because he's the sort of person now who totally deserves it.)
Also, I refuse to throw out as ridiculously awesome concept as the sharigarn just because the wielders apart from Kakashi are depicted as pants-on-head bonkers. (Seriously, there must have been a few sane ones at some point in Uchiha history, they were basically the Konoha police.)
Sure, he was alright until then.
And then he got worse. Now he continues to get worse and my best metaphor is that he's kishimoto's spoilt kid.

The real issue that arose was that he contacted the royal sisters after his banishment. Some of his smoke got in his nose, he coughed while saying "Crystals", and it came out to an unspeakable insult. They just went 'welp he's still evil'.

Distance formula for time spent falling. Distance d for time t:
d=.5gt^2. d=.5(9.8 meters per second squared)9^2 d=396.9 meters, or 1302.1654 feet.
So, Twilight just fell down a .2466 miles. She fell down almost a quarter mile of stairs, and was only mildly dazed at the bottom.

You subscribe a level of organisation to the fandom that did not exist at that time. The name bounced around in 4chan memes and in thread semi-spontanious RPs. Fanfiction evolved slowly and haltingly, much of which was lost to time or unpublished.
Bubbles is about as good an example as you'll get, but I remember several that existed before it did.

Distance formula for time spent falling. Distance d for time t:
d=.5gt^2. d=.5(9.8 meters per second squared)9^2 d=396.9 meters, or 1302.1654 feet.
Actually, you're off by at least 30 meters. The stone has enough time to reach terminal velocity so drag is a significant factor. Let's assume rock density rho=2.5 g/cm, spherical shape and radius r=4cm
Because these variables are basically guesses, I won't bother with more then one or two significant figures from here on, so g=10 m/s^2
this handy tool will give us terminal velocity of about V=60m/s. Without drag the rock would reach this after 6 seconds, which is less then 9, so the effect of drag is indeed noticeable.
Because I can't be bothered to remember how to solve differential equations, let's approximate the rock's trajectory thusly: first it falls under acceleration g for t1=6 seconds, then falls with terminal velocity for t2=3 seconds. This will give us a distance a bit longer then the real answer, but with the quality of given data it's good enough.
10*6*6/2 + 60*3 = 180 + 180 = 360 meters
If we take a smaller rock that would more comfortably fit in a pony mouth
r=2cm, V=45m/s, t1=4.5, t2=4.5
10*4.5*4.5/2 + 45*4.5 = 1.5*45*4.5 = 300 meters
So, is anypony else seeing possible underlying recurring plot points and overarching plot happening this season?
Twilight Advanced to next level of her studies, and Luna and Celestia are doing a lot of knowing mystical mentor stuff, more so then normal, and the book felt like a big hint.
just finished up This Story, and must say it is pretty good..and features Twilight at her maximum adorkableness
Spoiler
i mean..come on..she has a hot mare cuddling up on her right, another hot mare cuddling up on her left, a 3rd hot mare cuddling up from behind and using her rump as a pillow
---and she dreams...of a library with the other 3 there debating the theory of magical dueling........

Bubbles is about as good an example as you'll get, but I remember several that existed before it did.
It's true, I do subscribe too much organization in the interest of making my life easier. But Bubbles is too late. That story ended up on EQD in March, after Hasbro had already inserted back into the show with the gag in Feeling Pinkie Keen. At the time that Feeling Pinkie Keen first came out, people got excited because Derpy was in it. That means people already knew about the Derpy character including the muffins gag and the idea that she works as a mailmare because it had gotten enough attention that the animators stuck it back in.
If there was some kind of preserved piece of fiction, especially one that came out before "Feeling Pinkie Keen" it would make a much better case that Hasbro doesn't own the character. If there isn't, I'll have to settle for an explanation about how the character evolved. I'd much prefer to cite an actual story or work of some kind than to cite the know your meme page.

Well, this one appears to have been published in December 2010?
Ironically, I found that by following the footnotes on the KYM page for Derpy
It is one of the more useful internet culture websites.
KYM and Encyclopedia Dramatica are far, far more useful for this kind of thing than they have any right to be.
