I want the fanon that Scoots is an orphan to be utterly crushed.

I never thought of her as an orphan, myself, and I hope we get confirmation of her parentage very soon, too.

I don't know, but it'd be constantly changing.

Wow, seems like you've been here a lot longer.

If they manage to do an entire episode about Scootaloo having nightmares without actually having her sleep in her house then we will know for sure that the writers are just fucking with us.

So these G1 ponies were never made. They appear to come from space and are named Celestial Ponies or Fairy Brights.

Let the WMG begin?

@ Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi: But she still went into the forest on her own. In The Magic Duel, she had to be dragged (by her animal friends AND she was still trying to runaway, in mid-air) to Zecora and Twilight. I guess Trixie's antics, as bad as they were, weren't exactly life threatening.

Interesting thought I just had. Perhaps it was Fluttershy's friends (Rainbow Dash) that threw her off, triggering an anxiety attack of sorts. Expectations, as you mentioned Kuroi.

Looking at things as Perpetual pointed out earlier (i.e: May the Best Pet Win is where Fluttershy is truly OOC) her personality is restored. In May the Best Pet Win, the animals are clearly afraid of the Ghastly Gorge while in The Magic Duel, they are fine and Fluttershy is portrayed as being a Mother Hen.

My previous reaction (mentioned earlier) is supported then when taking this into consideration (Fluttershy is having a very bad day today) I can clearly see why Fluttershy is a nervous wreck.

In any case...moving on...

Oh, now that would be cool

Every scene she's in, her mane would start off dark gray, and then gradually fill in with red. It's almost impossible for her to finish a conversation without randomly pausing in the middle.

@ Crowfall: That would seriously be the best thing ever.

What would a YouTube pony be like?

I don't know either, but it would kind of suck to go through life with this for a cutie mark:

Fluttershy was probably pretty frazzled by being trapped in Trixietopia, so I cut her some slack for being so terrified. Do we know how long Trixie was in charge?

I can just imagine, every night they come up with some ridiculous excuse for her to sleep somewhere else. First it's Applebloom's house, then Sweetie Belle's. Then she stays at the treehouse for some reason. Then finally she's at Bon Bon's house with absolutely no explanation.

A Youtube pony would start with 5 stars as his/her mark, then change to a like/dislike sign. Also her body color would change from white to light grey.

Do we know how long Trixie was in charge?

Approximately eleven-and-a-half minutes, including commercials.

So Magic Duel was submited when Fandom was young (I think it was even before Great Pony Wars on 4Chan).

And people still call that pandering fanbase episode.

Speaking of time when I joined - Spoiler thread is now bigger that this one when I joined. (At page 100 was discusion about Cutie Mark Chronies and I joined fandom after premiere of D Iamond Dog episode).

Thanks. I'm glad you're here to keep me informed.

Those Celestial ponies look like a group who would potentially be the type who would be nocturnal ponies and they would hold Luna in higher regard than Celestia. They or a similar type of pony could be integrated into G4 as a tribe of nocturnal ponies who worship Luna instead of Celestia, and Luna finds out about them and is happy to find that not all her subjects sleep during her beautiful night, but that some of them even prefer it.

The Spark that is revealed when the 5 Elements are gathered, eh?

Edit: Of course...Celestial ponies passing over...Celestia? Similar ponies then.

Fluttershy is as adorable as ever :3

Personally I'm hoping it isn't, but odds are almost certain that it will be.

Remember when we were certain that Hearthswarming Eve would crush the fandom interpretations of Celestia and Luna?

If yu still ned a name for that magic implement, how about Florabaculus?

It basically translates to (the) Staff of (the goddess) Flora

@CDRW: I think the writers actively try to think of ways to add to the setting without confirming or denying any fanon.

Celestial Ponies? That means they get Acid Resistance and Smite Evil, right?

really? I never thought they were making any special effort. They've introduced stuff like Rarity's parents and a new alicorn pretty casually.

Yeah, what they avoid confirming is just things they can use for a later episode.

What I mean is that so far they haven't really done the "intentionally take a sledgehammer to every fan theory ever" method. I.e. when the Trixie episode rolled around, they handled it in a way that didn't really counteract any of fanon interpretations of the character.
