Lauren Faust said it was never in her vision to have Scootaloo learn to fly. She wrote her to be the equivalent of a handicapped person.

Which I think is a really interesting direction to take the character (and by extension the rest of the CMC) even though I doubt they will go with that in the show itself (maybe leave it ambiguous like Applejacks Parents) it would be interesting to see.

It might not get addressed as such but I still really doubt she'll ever fly.

Well, as much as it's nice to know Lauren's original thoughts on it, her word still doesn't necessarily make it canon.

Personally I go by the Star Wars/Star Trek EU levels of Canon on things like this (obviously modified for this show of course)

A Level Canon: Stuff in the show itself
B Level Canon: Stuff from other Official Sources (i.e. Hasbro,Studio B,Lauren,The Upcoming Comics ect.)
C Level Canon: Generally accepted Fanon
D Level Canon: Personal Head Canon

A overrides all other levels, B overrides C, and C overrides D (Within Level B Lauren Overrides everyone when it comes to stuff introduced before she left. For stuff after that Studio B Overrides everyone else in Level B)

I consider it canon until it's said otherwise in the show.

That tower defense game is frustratingly difficult. Like, it kinda makes me wanna flip my desk in unbridled rage.

I managed to make it up to level 21 on that game finally. It is rather hard at first but its less about the number of character you can put on the field and more about upgrading just a few well placed ones at least until at least level 20.

Yeah, I've gotten up to Wave 20 once, Wave 17 once, and aside from that I'm just failing left and right. The thing is, even getting three or four characters into strategic locations and fully upgrading them still isn't even close to being enough to down some of the waves past 15.

I mean, I can't help but feel I'm doing something wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I mean, there are certain round where they literally seem like you're not supposed to be able to get through them unscathed and it's driving up a wall... but I can't stop playing it. @__@

Edit: I BEAT THE FIRST MAP YESSSSSSS

Sup guys I'm back (or have I been forgotten?)

Not to change subject, but, I was wondering on everyone thoughts on this:
Why is it PRINCESS Celestia? There appears to be no queen, so how is she still Princess? (Other than the fact that Princess Celestia has a ring to it)

They wanted it to be Queen Celestia but Hasbro said no (Because Girls only like Princesses according to them) that's the only reason.

Also I bet the first map in Canterlot Siege :D Fluttershy is again OP just like in Adventure Ponies.

I keep forgetting how to speak gamer...

I almost beat the hard map... but I pulled a stupid move and got a second twilight to try and take out the final boss where I should have gotten a second Fluttershy to keep the final boss in a pit with two Applejacks. |D

Aside from that though, it was awesome. O wO
Love me right now! Done.

because for some reason it is considered that queens are evil and princess' are not
princess celestia
queen chrysalis

kind of how like kings are good, but emperors are evil

it's kind of just a writing trope


although if i remember the third narnia book correctly, a character questioned how the 4 children were kings and queens if they weren't married
so it may be that

although if that is the case, then chrysalis would have a husband

he would probably be terrifying

Now hold on, friends, let's not get judgmental yet. I for one remember a whole lot of neighsaying around the internet when Discord's design was shown, even by me, but he worked out perfectly in the show. Let's wait until we see more than the head and shoulders (shampoo) of this villain, or see him in motion.

He kinda reminds me of a mix between Scar from The Lion King and Vlad from Danny Phantom. And if he's anything like either of them, then I'll like his character just fine.

PS: The second map of Canterlot Siege is even more infuriating than the first. :U

You know, this guy.

Yeah I would agree it all depends on his personality really for me looks I can easily get passed, no matter how silly and over done he looks. But again we don't even know if hes in the show IIRC so this might all be for nothing.
Heh I beat all 3 yesterday. Just remember this a Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy team both fully Upgraded (upgrade them as soon as you can on damage and time) is borderline broken. Add a Twilight and that's all you should need until Chrysalis.

I am wickedly far behind in Moonstuck. It updates crazy fast; I'm just not on tumblr enough to keep up with it.

Which is unfortunate because it's entertaining and incredibly adorable.
