That would be wonderful. I would be all over that like flies on sugar-coated shit.

There is a tumblr about an insane thread about ponies.

There was also that one season 12 episode where Discord turned out to be Applejack's long lost father. Talk about an Ass Pull.

Don't you remember how the shooting stars that represented AJ's parents passed through the constellation Serpens? How Discord targeted Sweet Apple Acres in "Keep Calm and Flutter On"? How, in "Flight of the Discords", he kept starting conversations with AJ, then changing his mind and leaving—like he was trying to broach a topic he knew would be awkward? It's clear that the showrunners were planning that reveal for a while.

Granted, everything else about that episode could have used a few more revisions.

And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

I've made an attempt to resolve my political problem. Right wingers shouldn't be voicing opinions here anyway. I'm well aware that I've a ban on my record already so, I'm treading a fine line.

I don't think I could be pulled away from you guys. You're too important to me and have been for these last couple of years.

It's just an oddly specific thing to bring up twice within one season.

The way I see it, while "Lesson Zero" gave lip service to the moral of not making mountains out of molehills, Twilight didn't actually internalize that lesson at that time. Because the other lesson—"Pay attention to your friend and help her, even if her problem seems unimportant to you"—got so much more focus. So Twilight needed to lose her marbles over something unimportant, again, before she actually learned not to do it.

I wonder if Twi just bs's her way through some of the lessons. From a factual standpoint, she gets the moral, but saves the understanding for later to sink in.

Most of the episodes didn't happen. Twilight made them up to get her homework done and impress Celestia

Pinkie Pie is Twilight's imaginary friend.

Man... Now I want Asylum to hurry up and update.

ALL of Twilight's friends all imaginary. The loneliness drove her mad

A fan of Petriculture, then?

Wait, is that actually a thing in Petriculture? Maybe I should check it out.

It's a little more complicated than that, and saying more would go into First Episode Spoiler territory, but yes.

Like, I think sometimes she does get the moral, but other times she has a "Meh, I'll figure it out later" response to finish her homework. How is Celestia to know she's telling the truth anyway? I mean it's MLP and only the wicked characters would lie about that, but still.

In a more cynical universe, Twi would have just said a diamond dog ate her letter and Lesson Zero wouldn't have happened.

Of course, if Twi did lie in her friendship reports, that would result in Celestia overestimating Twi's competence and sending her on some dangerous mission she's nowhere near ready for.

Alternate Character Interpretation time! Twilight Sparkle lies or plays up more than a few reports. She does understand friendship, but is still just as cynical as ever despite her best efforts. Luck has saved the day more times than she'd care to admit.
