And because we're a bunch of perverts. :P

The one that really surprises me it didn't raise more eyebrows was in Sweet and Elite when Rarity was kissing Celestia's hooves. Seriously, how did we not just go nuts with that?

Now that Twilight has wings, she's closer to qualifying to be RD's pet, right?

[up] [up] Now I actually got that one. That's very easy S/M material right there.

Speaking of shipping, I've never come across a Rainbowshy or Pinkierare fic yet. You'd think Rainbow's childhood friendship with Shy would warrant more, but I keep finding Appledash and Flutterrare. For that matter, Rarity and Rainbow also seems a rare pairing.

I know, right? And with Molestia of all ponies on the other end? It practically writes itself.

There's certainly plenty of Rainshy fanart, so I'd be surprised if there isn't much fanfic of it.

I'm not too surprised by lack of Raripie, since the two of them don't have much in common or many on-screen interactions independent of the other girls. I do remember reading an Appledash fic at one point where Rarity and Pinkie pranked AJ and RD by putting them both in the same bed after they'd had too much cider to make it look like they'd slept together. AJ and RD figured it out and pulled the same prank on them at the end, where the twist turned out to be that Rarity and Pinkie had been together the whole time anyway.

Same story with RD/Rarity. Not much in common, and no significant on-screen interaction.

I just want to apologize for the ignorant things I said yesterday. I shouldn't have judged the whole fandom for what I see on 4chan and Memebase.
One of you hit the nail on the head: it's Foe Yay in fandom form. I can't stand it yet I can't look away.
If you must know, I saw the pilot episode way back and thought it was going to be a fantasy adventure series with magical girl elements. You can imagine my disappointment when it didn't turn out to be Alicorn: The Last Sea Pony. I guess I never got over that.
Now I'm off to find a hobby. You'll never see me here again.
OT: Hey, if Hasbro sends a C&D for that lesbian horse video game, wouldn't they be indirectly admitting MLP is about lesbians?

No more than their C&D against the fanmade fighting game means the show is actually a Street Fighter remake.

Not too much adventure aside from the season openners and endings. Heck, G1 has more action in in the first episodes than Fi M does.

[up][up][up]It's a shame that turned out to be the case, though I don't begrudge you for being disappointed that the show didn't turn out the way you hoped cause despite my enjoyment I also find it a shame that we never really got more of that (even at this point in the series).

Thank you for the apology. I hope you are successful in finding a new hobby that you can enjoy with no problems, or at least as few problems as possible.

For what it's worth I actually prefer the Slice of Life episodes, mainly because I think the writers are better writing those than they are at adventure episodes.

[up]A shame, but true. Faust's decision to down play the adventure parts she wanted was probably for the best in the long run. It was either that or try to track down writers who had experience in that sort of thing, and I'm not sure if they would have wanted in.

^^^ Ditto. There's tons of animated adventure shows to pick from. Being primarily Slice of Life is another of the things that sets MLP apart for me.

Exactly. It's like, if I wanted an adventure show, I'd watch something that was designed with that in mind. Like ATLA or Wakfu or something along those lines. There are really few legit Slice of Life cartoons today; most of them can't go very long without trying to escalate themselves into Epic territory. There's nothing wrong with adventure, of course, but not every show needs to be about that.

I think the show has to work twice as hard at adventure because of the episodic format. Not only do they have to establish character in with the assumption that viewers could be watching any (of the non-multi-parters) in order, they need to get through a more complex plot. Which leads me to believe the whole "watch in any order" schtick really hamstrings any serious attempt at full-on adventure.

That line just made me realize part of why I love The Venture Bros. so much; it does exactly the opposite of that. It takes a cast of characters, situations, and themes that all belong in an adventure show, and then plays the whole thing as a slice of life for people whose daily life just happens to include butterfly-themed supervillains, secret government agencies, and clone farms.
