God also never said it couldn't NOT be noncanon.

Watched the first few minutes (don't have time to watch it from start to end now), and at the very least I like that they addressed the fact that Twilight doesn't feel quite equipped for the position. It's nice to see that at the very least her personality didn't get overhauled. Also, I love how the wings keep her from getting to sleep.

Probably adjust to it in the season 4 premire. I still think Twilight is too uptight to be a princess. That just makes her the Wonder Woman of Mary Sues. Still, she's better than those horrid G2 ponies that did... something.

Except she's nothing even close to a Mary Sue. Though between the movie and the book, I get the feeling that the crown will become a more or less permanant accesory for Twi, both end with her getting more comforable wearing it.

Which is just DUMB! Not only for, well not needing something ELSE to make her stand out, but, she already almost lost it once becuase she didn't keep it locked up with the other Eo H's why the HELL would she STILL keep it around and not secured? Hopefully, if she DOES wear a crown everywhere, it's at least the fake on Sunset tried to swap with, with the real one secured with the other elements.

How is she not? She's a smart, snarky, somewhat-overpowered know-it-all who's only goal in life was to... LEARN! If that's not Mary Sue material, I don't know what is.

Ohh new Slice of Pony Life.

"Please note, I am wearing the serious hat." I just love she actaully had to create a singal with her family for when she was in Serious Mode, and yet... "I want to live in the cupcake." She's till Pinkie.

becuase there is NO simple checklist for mary Sues? it's all about how they interact with the story, and nothing about Twi is in anyway Sue.

A Mary Sue, by definition, is a character who is either not flawed at all, or whose flaws are so small that they're inconsequential. Twilight might be intelligent and powerful, but she has serious social problems, she doesn't handle stress well, and she tends to overestimate her own abilities. That's more than enough to boot her from the "Mary Sue" tier and into balanced character territory. She's nowhere near perfect enough to be considered a Mary Sue.

You ever have one of those days where you're all bored and restless, but for some reason you can't make yourself do any of the dozens of things that you should be doing? I've been really out of it today, and everything has just been a big blur of... I don't know. I can't even find the motivation to do the things that I ostensibly want to do, like update the RP I'm running, or progress my fanfiction. I hate this feeling, and I hate it even more because I only ever get it when I'm on the edge of a major depressive episode.

That was me a couple of days ago.

Oh yes, all the damn time.

I've kinda been like that today, to. I just got started working full time, so I'm waking up about an hour and a half earlier than I used to. I was okay yesterday and today, but today it caught up with me and I've been on autopilot.

I don't know how often I've been like that, but it's irritating when it happens.

Also, I love how in EQ Pinkie isn't phased at all when Twilight grabs a pen with her teeth.

meh. I've been in and out. Gonna go play some games afterwhile.

That was nice. And just so Pinkie, she's so random, she doesn't think twice about others doing weird things like that.

That's our Pinkie! She's so non-judgemental, she just doesn't care.

I thought more of her insecurities came from UNDERESTIMATING her abilities more than overestimating them. The only time she goes overboard is when Celestia is involved.

I'm like that everyday. If it wasn't for my depression, I'd be writing like a bat out of Tartarus.

@Steve: It cuts both ways. In some cases, she thinks she knows far better than she does, and in other cases she sells herself short. But yeah, I guess it's more accurate to say she can't gauge her own strength well, whether over or under estimating it.

Evening everypony. What's going on?

That's me most days. Anxiety disorders and depression do that to a person.

I surprised myself tonight by making a fairly inspired dinner even though I wasn't in the mood to cook. Stuffed some steaks with garlic, seasoned them with rosemary, pepper and salt and then after cooking them both, paired them with a mustard gravy and a sautee of peppers and onions drizzled with balsamic vinegar. My brother teases me, telling me I ought to be a chef. I don't have the eye for detail or the presentation to be a proper chef though. I don't know that I've got the passion either.

Hullo there, Orion. We've just been discussing our impressions of Equestria Girls.

On Equestrian music

Hopefully I'll be like you Theory and have some inspired days.

Okay I need some ideas for my fic. I'm going with a Threshold Guardians thing for the protagonists (One each for the 10 characters, then One for the CMC and one for the whole group.) The first is based on Pinkie Pie. any ideas?

Hi guys. It's DJ Vinyl Scratch under a new name. I wanted something that wasn't Pony-related since I have found that having a Pony reference in one's username makes one a prime target for haters.

I think I'll do a rewatch of all the Pony episodes starting from the pilot and give my impressions. I haven't watched since February.
