I was expecting it to happen in the final episode. I assumed Celestia would just give her powers to Twilight somehow, although I guess the implications might be a bit depressing for a kids' show.

Heero/Duo. I got into Gundam Wing when I was thirteen, and that ship got me into some really bad habits that were absolutely endemic in the shipdom, like ukeification (Duo's number came second! He had long hair! Must be the bottom!) and bashing female 'rivals'. Twenty-six-year-old me kind of wants to slap thirteen-year-old me, then go find Relena and apologise...

I'm not in GW fandom any more, but I still have a lingering fondness for the ship (when done right) and still have a bunch of art saved for it. (And I want to rewatch it as an adult, since I suspect I'll actually really like Relena now.) Just. The fans....

i know. like how much do you wanna bet that MRAs are gonna come into this thread and misandry? what a load of patriarchal binary, that is so the MRAs as a collective

I think she's repulsive in every way.

I waver on the rape thing. I agree with you that it was a very stupid thing to do to a woman that was going to be a priceless asset very soon. But...well, my mother is 20 years younger than Philip and Elizabeth. She's an incredibly intelligent, worldly, and educated woman. And she still goes to a "it's your own fault if you're raped" default she learned as a kid in the USSR. Like, if I talk about date-rape, the first thing she'll say is that you shouldn't be inviting a man into your apartment in the first place. I can see the rape in The Americans being tolerated because Elizabeth was taught to blame herself for being weak if she was raped, and her superiors relied on that attitude being installed in their girls.

I think you should just let it go and let her enjoy the thing she likes.

No, but I feel like that makes me into some kid who can't deal with her own problems and has to run to an adult to get them to fix it.

Plus the classmates would get extremely offended and react to me and my group even worse, because he's already got this weird paranoid delusion thing going on about us.

And again, this isn't just my own paranoid delusions- everyone who works with him reports the same problems.

I liked the episode, singing and all, but I do cynically (but no doubt correctly) believe this was all done because someone at Hasbro went "Okay, we need a new toy to push on the kids, we're doing well selling you-know-who to the Bronies but we can't put her in the main line because we can't use her name, and everyone's getting tired of recolors... I'VE GOT IT! STICK WINGS ON TWILIGHT! AND MAKE SURE IT GETS INTO THE SHOW SOMEHOW! DON'T ASK QUESTIONS, DO AS I SAY!".

They should have waited at least another season for Alicon!Twilight as a plot development IMHO, but what's happened has happened.

Just Desolation of Smaug. I'm not big on movies, heh...

if you haven't already read it, read sirens of titan because i just finished it and it is great.

AYRT

Exactly. I wasn't rabid, but I liked it. Not anymore, because of the age gap and because I couldn't see what attracted me to it in the first place, especially in the manga, which I still love to bits, however.

I can't say EP1S1, but I predicted it as of EP1S3.

Besides, why the hell would she need a personal student otherwise? What was the endgame. I believe it.

A "social experiment".

Classic.

*DYING*

"Alistair Never Loved You!"

/same anon

I never disliked Mira as a character either. I loved that it was she--and not Spartacus--who spilled first blood for the rebellion. I just never fully bought her and Spartacus as a couple. We had gone a whole season seeing him so resolute in his fidelity to Sura... it was like he was devoid of desire or, dare I say, sexuality in general. It was like that part of his personhood was simply excised in the loss of Sura. With the exception of Oenomaus (who seems to be in the same boat with the absence of Melitta), Spartacus was the only main character to show no real sexual interest in anybody else. It just always seemed like the relationship with Mira came out of left field. (Probably because the writers were wondering who the hell Spartacus could chat with after Varro had been removed from the picture.)

this

Frodo/Sam. I read the book/s when I was a kid and just didn't see ships, the movies came out when I was in my early-mid teens and shipped everything that moved, and now I pretty much see them as platonic soul mates, but not romantically or sexually attracted to each other. Teenage me didn't really have much interest in non-romantic love, now I adore those relationships. It's still my favourite relationship in the series, just not... a ship.

look, your mom had probably been reading trashy romance novels for a while now and that's just something you should get over

worry if she starts reading Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series. Now that thing was messed up

I came here to mention them. Why only one season, RTD? Why?

Dude, man, like, because. Man.

/inb4 THAT'S SEXIST. WHY NOT "WOMAN?!"

Hell yes for Donna and the Doctor, and Eowyn and Merry!

except not so pure and simple, there's no evidence that this was a unilateral decision by solely Hasbro. Honestly the whole finale smacked of being a potential series finale with the whole montage at the end, and given how the episode was said by the writers to have been written back in 2011 it's much more likely that this thing was written as a potential end to the series itself, since back then the shortened season would have put them at the magical 65 episode syndication mark that has killed so many kid's shows in the past. When it was written there was probably much more uncertainty over whether or not there would even be a season 4, maybe a direct to T.V. movie at a later date or maybe corporate was debating having the equestria girls spinoff be the new direction while axing the original series.

Honestly, a lot of season 3 came off like the writers were trying to wrap things up with a couple of vague outs in case season 4 became a reality, the trixie and discord episode, scootaloo finally getting an episode, and rainbow dash finally making it into the wonderbolts academy.

Actually especially the wonderbolts academy the original ending to that episode very much came off like an attempt to wrap up dash's ambitions by having her choose her friends and morals over her ambition. The current ending leaves things much more open for future development and could have changed after season 4 was actually confirmed.

But eh whatever, it's all speculation, I just highly doubt the alicorn Twilight decision was solely a Hasbro thing.

have you tried contacting them again? personally i can be somewhat aloof and will often not initiate hang-outs myself, but that doesn't mean i don't want to hang out.

you should give it a shot. if you think about it the fear of rejection is probably outweighed by the possibility of friendship, right?

Yes, this is a bad thing. You are contributing to PinkieDash, RainbowShy, RariDash, and AppleShy erasure. Check your AppleDash privilege.
