They all have pleasant voices really.

I don't get weird over any of them though. (Except AJ's, an maybe Celestia's)

Treehouse, though they have the annoying habit of censoring words (or, in the case of Griffon the Brush-off, entire goddamn episodes), because someone's kid might get their feelings hurt.

Make me wonder why they bothered picking it up in the first place.

I think Audio Erotica is fine as a page, I just don't think we should add exmples that we could feel the slightest bit ashamed of.

Yeah, I guess.

I wish I hadn't admitted it.

I think we've gotten rid of all the MLP Audio Erotica examples.

I guess I'm fine with that.

Do you think we're ever gonna see a villain who's stronger than Discord?

It doesn't seem possible, does it? And I'm not sure if they should either. Discord was pretty broken already

I for one would want to see more mundane rival-type antagonists that must be overcome or, aha, befriended by less drastic means than an Orbital Friendship Cannon.

Yeah me too.

Diamond Dog level baddies. Pose a danger to the ponies, but won't end the world if not defeated.

I'd like to see some Twilight-level unicorns sometime. Someone who can kick her plot in a magical duel.

AJ and RD are Lightning Bruisers they are both to stong for speeder and to fast for glacier.

Hmmm, Let my muse help me cook a little something.

Rivals for the Harmonies:

1. For Applejack, a rival produce farmer who is otherwise a genuinely nice pony, except when it comes to competing businesses.
2. For Rarity, a competing fashionista who vies for a contract with a celebrity.
3. For Rainbow Dash, a not-quite-as-talented by technically more skillful pegasus who also wants to impress the Wonderbolts. It's the old Technician Versus Performer argument, of course.
4. For Twilight, a talented Unicorn who resents her position as Celestia's favourite student. Wizard duel ahoy!
5. For Pinkie Pie, another party pony who decides to outdo her at throwing epic parties.
6. For Fluttershy, a pet collector who otherwise really cares for the critters she "collects".

I'd love to see a 'mad scientist' type baddie. One who combines magic and technology. And who is comepletely out of their freakin' mind.

Anyone of those would be great. It could show that just because you don't get along with somepony, dosn't make them a bad pony.

Would you know where I can find a list of which specific changes they made? I ask this because I have Treehouse back home (not here at college) and was considering watching an episode on TV when I go home for Remembrance Day break. (Assuming one will be coming out around that time.)

Depends on the sense in which you mean "stronger, " and to what extent.

I always thought that Rainbow Dash's rival should actually be MORE deserving of a spot with the Wonderbolts than RD. (ssick relative needs the money or something)

The moral would be about being willing to give up your dreams if someone else needs it more, and being a graceful loser

A too-absorbed-in-their-work kinda techie unicorn with a penchant for mechanopunk, who ends up annoying the Mane 6 with their disruptive inventions for most of the inventions, but eventually learns themselves some restraint and discipline after messing up and nearly wrecking Ponyville with their latest haywire hardware?

A equally valid rival tale of course. Rainbow Dash could learn from her rivalry and come out of it more mature, and definitely more awesome.

Yes,

I'd love to see that.

Perhaps they can be the one who causes a freaky friday flip among the mane six?

Would that make them an anti villain?

edited 11th Oct '11 10:55:49 AM by Justanotherbrony

Would that technically make RD the villain of that episode?

It might, if that technie unicorn accidentally everyone else's day by accident because they did small things like take little items from here and there and generally disrupted everything with their absentminded well-meaning.

It'd show her another example of Loyalty, one strong enough for her to give her rival kudos and step aside to give them a chance to shine.

Know what would be awesome?

If they are basiclly a ponified Wheatley.

Could be a way for the creators to pay homage to all the Portal crossovers.

I wonder if the elements can be used individually to power up their respective wielders (like make Rainbow Dash faster or something)

What's Twilight Sparkle even being graded on?

It's completely out of her control whether she learns something new about friendship or not. Either a moral happens or it doesn't.

Is it a continuous assessment by Celestia? (easiest course in the world if that's the case) or is there gonna be an exam waiting for Twilight at the end of all this?

She already had her exam. It was called "Beat Discord."

She's being graded? I thought this was field work?

That, or an excuse to get her to write every so often. You know, keeping in touch?

I assumed she was still a student.

Logically that would make this part of her assessment. I was just wondering what Celestia's scoring system is.

I tend to think that...how do I put this? [I get a lot less lucid before 7am, and currently it's a quarter to six, so...)

The letters are simply a way of reinforcing whatever it is Twilight learns. Remember, the whole project is first portrayed as a convenient excuse for Celestia to let her pupil stay with her newfound nakama. This also has the benefit of making sure that Equestria's #1 weapon against The Really Bad Stuff is easy to reach, since its six components spend most of their time within a mile of each other and can be rounded up with a single letter. Celestia described it as a semi-formalized research project for Twilight's benefit, because her pupil is still a bit neurotic and by-the-book. She keeps the letters stockpiled "just in case" (it worked, didn't it?).

At least sixty percent of this is headcanon, but I think it works.
