My Little Pony VIII: Friendship is Music

Think about what you wrote, and you will have an answer.
Short version:
Government makes laws, government lives from taxes. Government makes laws to keep people from not paying taxes.
Long version:
Tax authorities always emphasize correct accounting. Otherwise companies could shuffle gains from state/nations with high taxes into ones with low taxes. Which they try to do, it's an eternal battle between private and public.
Also, since HUB is not solely owned by Hasbro they can't shift the gains without committing financial fraud.
last but not least, managers are usually at least partially paid according to the company's gains. And more importantly, the prestige of a manager and the influence he has derives from the amount of money he makes. You'd be surprised how many economic decisions are made out of spite or to impress people at the next summit.

Economic analysis is depressing.

This sort of motherliness makes the Owl episode more interesting, because Spike jumping to the wrong conclusions becomes something that's outright painful for Twilight.

Also, given that she was pulling him from tall heights and the like, it's proof that she REALLY needed more socialization. Spike may have been a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, the responsibility kept her from having spare time to make friends. On the OTHER hand, she probably wouldn't have gone out to make friends anyway and Spike gave her someone to talk to, even if she could be a jerk about it.

Also, it makes Boast Busters interesting, since Spike's goading of Twilight comes off as, "MY MOM CAN BEAT YOU UP!"

Season 10, or the next reboot of this franchise will follow elder dragon Spike and Pinkie Pie, immortal incarnation of laughter, as they search for new bearers of the Elements of Harmony. It takes place in an Equestria under siege by evil.

Are we talking "needs to be done by June 1st" or "will occur at some point in June?" I write slow. Leadup time will be helpful.

Also, looks like Pinkie's gonna be a double auntie.

Leaning more toward "will occur at some point in June" but generally can be translated as "will happen the second Sethisto gets bored". Start brainstorming and planning now, so you're not caught off guard.

Also, that is the best ship. I don't care that FlutterDash is my OTP. That is the best one. I go.

I just have to say, this might be one of the weirdest methods of getting fanart I've ever seen.

[Thanqol]

Making such a declaration in front of others, and starting a thread to record your progress... you're certainly a brave one Thanqol. One wishes you the best in this endevour .

Thank you! If I've learned one thing about my psychology, having an audience, even an imaginary audience, makes me go to elaborate lengths to finish stuff.
