Royalist dream come true.

Go monarchy!

...What?

Are we in the weird place again?

@Kalloon White: do we ever leave the Weird Place?

Do we ever leave it?

I kissed a ninja and I liked it.

Well we've talked about the more controversial episodes so many times that people don't really feel like arguing about them now.

Wait, let's back up a second here, because I missed something:

How exactly are herd mentality and Fluttershy as a dominatrix connected, exactly?

And before that gets used on me, no, seriously, I saw it on the last page and it's seriously confusing me.

Shooting the clones was perfectly ethical!

@kegisak: they're not.

If a Stallion met the criteria for becoming a princess... are they just screwed? Or do they ascend as well?

I think it'd be kinda sexist if they couldn't reap the rewards of their hard work.

Or would they ascend and in that transformation become female?

He gains one horn and loses another.

IIIIIIII'm inclined to think a Stallion can still ascend. Then again, I'm also inclined to think Twilight literally exploded and died in the season 3 finale and came back as a corporeal ghost, so my fanon here is weird.

The poor Stallion. Course with all that magic, he can probably switch back and forth as he chooses.

Oh that was some interesting mental imagery there Applelight... especially imagining the horn still... looking like it did when it was down south.

Im going to go eat dinner now.... Im getting silly from lack of food

so are 'fanon' and 'headcannon' the same thing, or is there a difference?

Fanon is a bit like a headcanon shared by many.

@ Apple:

Cackles madly

Waitwaitwait. In Magic Duel, didn't Twilight mention that only very powerful unicorns can switch gender? Well, she's bested Starswirl's greatest spell and is an alicorn, I think that qualifies. Let the kinky fanfics continue as scheduled.

I think my brains falling out of my ears.

I was mystified too.

Could a doctor pony highly pro efficient in anatomy magic switch genders?

Just imaging some scenes for my crews doc.

Nightmare Night for Gilda and Dash

@Dark: I think the jury is split on whether or not Gender-changing magic is possible. I believe Trixie's exact words were "But that's impossible", or something to that effect - but at the same time, she could easily be exclaiming disbelief that Twilight could do it, not that it could be done at all. She certainly seemed aware that the Alicorn Amulet didn't make her all powerful, I think, just extremely powerful.

Some time ago in the LGBT thread in Yack Fest, I and another fellow sort of co-opted an idea for a fanfic based around gender switching magic. The idea was that Twilight was trying to adapt the Butterfly Wings spell into a spell that would temporarily change a pony's race. A rune was mixed up in writing it, however(This is at a time when "Twilight botches a spell" was not quite so cliche, and at that there was a difference in that the spell was cast perfectly, just worked differently from intended. Like a line of code that causes a program to perform a different function than intended. I once wrote something intended to teleport a red square on contact, and wound up duplicating it), and the 'unfortunate' target of the spell wound up being temporarily turned into a mare... something 'he' was not in fact displeased with. She then spent a while gallivanting about in her new mare body, and met a handsome young stallion... she then found herself repeatedly going back to Twilight to refresh the spell. After a while her body would start to adapt to the spell, and it would be less effective. Eventually her new boyfriend, who was an actual doctor, would find out, and start working with Twilight to find a way to make the spell permanent.

So basically, a story about Equestria's first Male-to-Female transexual operation.

ya know what would be an episode i would love to see? a pony stealing a Mare Do well costume from Rarity and running around in it, delivering justice and friendship in the night or something.

Hmm, actually sounds fairly interesting. The problem with a lot of ships is that a lot of new characters aren't explored as most are established good friends.
