I'm hoping for more Twilight too, though I think Fluttershy is more deserving.

I'm thinking there might be some Pinkie Pie Promises that Dashie will be making everypony take for her because she's not too subtle about hiding embarassing secrets

Has Fluttershy actually had an episode this season?

I own two brushables: Twi and Flutters, both restyled, although kind of badly because I had no experience prior to them (plus I did it before any of the guides became more prominent).

I also own 6 blind bag size ponies, although only one of my Twis is a real blind bag. Canadian selection is kind of bad and even though we got moulded blind bag size where what pony it was is visible. I ended up picking up a copy of each those, which included the main six minus Fluttershy (damnnit, Hasbro!).

Oh and I have plushies. Well, one plushie as far as official merch is concerned (the Target "Mohawk" Sparkle ), as my two Fluttershies and one Pinkie are all fan made.

EDIT: Nope. Lots of good little moments as a secondary character, no focus episode. She really does need one.

And as for Twi, we should see at least one more episode with her in focus or shared focus, since she's supposed to be getting a song that's either a solo or, failing that, where she leads.

I should like some more Fluttershy episodes too :3 From what I hear, many JPN bronies simply love her.

I thought so!

Thats not really a surprise.

How big is the brony community in Japan, anyway?

I'm still immensely amused that she did that covering-up gesture right in the cold open.

They're mostly on Pixiv and Nico Nico Douga.

Hehe, yay, for naked people gags with ponies who normally walk around naked anyway?

I'm watching Mousa's livestream atm...Pinkie is so much better in colour!

Edit: I'm still laughing at that Blushyshy too!

She's just that shy I guess

I suppose it'd be less awkward to meet Equestrian ponies since we can talk or something.

Sorry Apple, my internet cut out briefly, the stream should be back up now.

Assuming we speak the same language. I imagine a sudden meeting with beings like us would put the ponies on guard.

Most likely, like why our claws are soft, where did our scales or fur go, why we don't have magic, where are our tails, and other such oddities. And also, how do we know so much about them.

I imagine this thread to be like an actual gathering in Ponyville in a chatrooom, and we're all mares.

It'd be nice to make friends with some Equestrian ponies, mind. As herbivores, they'd have less of the predator hostility I have to put up with regularly, although they'd be somewhat alarmed by our omnivorous tendencies. (Thankfully I don't eat horse jerky or they'd be even more frightened)

They might be a little bemused and overwhelmed by our tendency to want to give them cuddles though.

I'd want to know more about Fleur.

True, i hope the urge to hug them is not too overwhelming

I guess people who've worked with Terran horses and ponies would find it easier to get friendly with Equestrian ponies.

I think I'd hold back on the hugging/cuddling until I could calm them down and gain their trust. They might take the movement as a hostile action otherwise.

EDIT: Kyun: Interesting way to think about it. Actually, that makes me wonder: how many other people here have a ponysona?

"My little ponies, where we come from, we call them opposable thumbs. You should try it. They rather... er, handy."

We're discussing merch now, huh? I have the McDonald's toy versions of Twilight, Applejack and Cheerilee, Blind Bag Twilight, and a custom blind bag version of Twilight's mother. I'm currently contemplating picking up a McDonald's toy Rarity off of eBay.

I have a Twilight figure, but that is it for merchandise.

@Kuroi: Yeah, gotta wait until they're comfortable with you before hugs time.

@Jteeth: Nice, the Mc'D's are really good ponytoys that even beat out the Official Hasbro Blindbag ponies. I might want to scour flea markets locally to see if I can get my mitts on some.

I'm kind of kicking myself in hindsight. When I first got into the fandom, the McD's toys were still around, but it was at the very tail end (last week or two, I think). But when I heard about the toys, I kind of dismissed them because I wasn't into it enough for merch yet. If only I'd been more enthusiastic (or something).
