This news scares and entices me.

Princess Pony Page Topper!

I would in fact be very interested to see what that Valentine episode looks like. I predict mass head-implosions.

This makes me imagine a streamer six-shooter. For smaller occasions. Or when you're on a budget, at least.

What's this? The possibility of romance in FiM? Oh most wonderful of nights!

On the bright side, romance means male ponies being added. Which means my Slash Goggles can finaly get to work. (Unless they go there...which...as awesome as it would be. They wont)

Re: Princess Ponies

I'm starting to notice a trend here. A lot of artists doing humanized ponies seem to have trouble making them not look like the same person with six different outfits and hairstyles. (That is, they have damn-near-identical faces.)

Hold the bloody phone. Really?! Romance in my ponies?!

This... oh, this is going to crack the fanbase wide open.

This isn't just a problem with ponies. Most anime-ish art styles change only the breast size and hair styles and nothing else.

This will be gorgues to watch.

I personally can't wait.

I REALLY hope the romances do NOT involve around those that have not already been established, such as Spike's crush with Rarity.

My prediction: The episode revolves around Big Macintosh being constantly swamped by swarms of mares as he's Ponyville's hottest bachelor. However, he doesn't want to get in a steady relationship at point in time, but everybody, including the Mane Six and his family, are trying to get him to hook with somepony, with most of the dates ending in disasters.

Or it'll just be a spike/rarity thing again.

I'm always down for Spike/Rarity.

WHAT? I AM SO SHUT UP.

, Spike and Rarity actually go on their first date, and despite the subtle yet immense build-up that something is going to go catastrophically wrong and possibly destroy the whole town, ruining whatever big event is going on, nothing happens. The episode then ends with Spike realizing that his crush was really just a simple boyhood crush and merely considers Rarity good friend, while Rarity realizes that in Spike she has found her own personal Prince Charming but is simple too young and exploitable to allow her feelings to go deeper. The lesson here is how one's feelings for another can change, and even when there is no deeper love, there is still friendship.

Shipping? In My Little Pony? It's more likely than you think!

Maybe instead of the cast being interested in anyone, there are stallions interested in them and the episode is about how they react to that. I'd actually be interested in seeing how they react to sudden romantic attention.

You know that stallion Rainbow Dash "saved" back at the gala? I would LOVE to him suddenly pull up to Dash's house, declare his love for her, and shower her with gifts, with the pegasus freakin' out EVERY TIME. XD

Concerning Party Ammo calibre, I wonder how my proposal for belt-fed confetti rounds for my Nerf Vulcan would go.

i hope they have rainbow sprinkles◊

Hey guys, back from work.... What I miss? I want details and news updates and shenanigans. And yes it is two in the morn, what of it?

Claymore party mines. For the ultimate surprise party.

Discussion about an adopted Diamond Dog, Ginger freaking out about various things, and apparently we're getting a Valentines Day episode.

Now I'm imagining a pony Ragnar Benson who makes heavy party weapons out of household goods.

....

WE'RE GETTING A VALENTINE'S EPISODE!?

Oh, I guess, adopting a Diamond Dog would be pretty weird, they'd be sort of cunning but also sort of not very smart, they'd be weird pets. And if you wanted to control them, instead of bapping them on the nose with a newspaper or using a squirt bottle you'd just have a recording of Rarity's voice.

But really, WE'RE GETTING A VALENTINE'S EPISODE!?

Apparently. I can't tell if that reaction is excitement, shock, or rage.

So it would seem.

Shock and rage. I hate Valentine's day. And Valentine's day is two days before my birthday, who needs that constant reminder beating over their heads so close to the day they're getting older? I hope my general bitterness will not cloud my judgement of the episode.
