So need to see her and Daffy interacting.
And as to the movie killing Spongebob, that was becuase the guy that was overll in charge and responsible for it being decent left, wanting the movie to be the Grand Finale.
but, it's MLP, it's got a good public awareness, and the rate the fandom is growing, in a year or two should bea good investment. Maybe a few direct to DVD movies to test he waters first.

I can't remember Bridle Gossip...but did Twilight say that 'spoken curses' is bullshit basically?

Pretty much. Or at least that that's not how unicorn magic works.

Just thinking about the power of 'spoken verse'...a runic language that can act as magic...nothing big.

I suddenly have this idea of a unicorn that insists on reciting incantations when casting spells.
"It helps me focus."
There's no need to sharpen my pencils anymore. My pencils are sharp enough.
Even the dull ones will leave a mark.

Or just because they think it sounds cool. In fact I can see Trixie doing that just for the showmanship of it.

Incantations are cool.
Also, I just introduced my mom to Scootabuse. She reacted surprisingly well.

Much as I dread comparing this show to those books, the notion of an entire magical language is kind of neat. Old pony, the characters of which where all the runes that are used to cast magic...
Or maybe it could be like magic in The Belgariad, where it's less the language and more the will behind the words - magic in that series was basically just ordering shit around, and meaning it so much that the stuff obeyed you. And yeah, they could do every kind of magic(Except destroy stuff. the results of trying to are... messy). Wizards in that series were badass.

I could imagine some unicorns using incantations, not because they actually add anything because the cadence of the incantation reminds them how to best regulate the flow of energy to help realise what they hope to accomplish with the spell.
Speaking of magic, I always liked LeGuin's take on it in the Earthsea novels. All magic is performed by speaking draconic and since it is impossible to lie in the original tongue, reality rewrites itself so what you said was true.

In other news, I watched part of the Das kleine Arschloch movie and at one point, he plays 6 or 7 instruments at once. It reminded me of Pinkie Pie.

People who are more familiar with editing pages than I, The Changelings are on the Always Chaotic Evil page. I'd like to add an addendum saying that they might be closer to like, Always Toadstool Blue being a parasitic race by nature. Would that be something to just add directly, or would it be wiser to go through discussion first?

Isn't it a bit early to say a race is always chaotic evil when we've seen them once, and the ones we saw were an evil queen an her army? For all we know they've got a bunch of normal citizens hanging out in Changelingtopia.

I wouldn't believe that all Changelings would unite under Chrysalis.

And for what it's worth other examples such as Thomas and Spongebob aren't dead, in fact they're being milked somewhat shamelessly.
From what I've heard, Spongebob definitely did end after the movie. Your TV is a liar.
Also, Changelings don't have any alignment requirements.

Or maybe The Elenium, where all magic really boils down to asking favors from the relevant god, and "incantations" are actually prayers.
That would be running a punchline into the ground.

This is just another silly attempt by me to give E Ps powers. I'm sorry. 
Although...I do think E Ps have a magic in them...it's getting it out that's hard. Case in point...Pinkie can sneeze confetti. It's magic.
