FLUTTERSHY IS BEST PONY

Was there really any doubt?

...

Rainbow Dash - agile weatherpony, athlete, enthusiast of fine literature, and...RAILFAN?

Nope, just a McDonalds' pony, a fence, and a pain-in-the-haunches kind of autofocus which makes me so frustrated I could just scream! *eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

The Equestrian Scrolls Predicts a Potential Love Triangle.

Oh my gosh.

I've heard rumblings of this storyarc from the greats ever since the days when Hasbro decided to re-brand the pink castings of Celestia as "Princess Cadence" and sell some kind of wedding playset with "Shining Armor".

Long story short, for a while Hasbro was producing figurenes of Celestia using a rose-pink plastic--now, of course to devoted bronies, this is heresy. I, on the other hand, would regard it like a variation of a Lionel 6464 boxcar or SP Caboose--nothing out of the ordinary, just a bit rare. However, enough people pressed Hasbro to make more authentic figurenes so...yeah. Just sell off the last of 'em, or have an idea for this brilliant marketing move--make more, re-brand, and add something with plenty of play value and new trinkets.

I guessed the screenwriters down at Studio B would be cooking up a brilliant introduction to the characters. And suprisingly, deep in my subconscious, I sensed an iminent love triangle storyarc.

Now, if these fellas at Equestria Daily predict that my OC is the dragonborn, I'll take them seriously...

FUS RO DAH!
(If I have the Thu'um within me, you should be thrown backwards now...)

WRT Derpy Hooves: "We Put Her On The Map"

Spread the word, everypony. Spread the word that Derpy (along with fan relations to Hasbro) is in peril of fading away.

For individaulity, for endurance, and for being able to smile and laugh despite struggling. Hang in there!

EDIT: Something lighthearted for everypony reading this: http://equestria.fadri.org/comics/034-Offensive.jpg
[ATSF Asbel guarantee: Pre-read this one, nothing incredibly vulgar. Just an un-derped Derpy Hooves pointing out some hypocrises.]

Did they just...

Here's my original take on the Derpy Hooves "removal":
Well, some whiny viewers of MLP apparently must have threatened to take Hasbro to court or something because of the whole thing with Derpy Hooves. So therefore Hasbro decided to go back, ALTER THE ANIMATION, AND RE-DUB THE SCENE, eliminating Derpy's name and crossed eyes. Seriously. The only people they made proud are the anime butchers who work for 4kids...

Not kidding though. They removed Derpy.

From my recollection, Snips and Snails both fulfill more of the archetypes of a mentally handicapped individual. I mean, when your "talent" is being mentally slow, that's actually crossing the very same boundary.

Derpy also serves as an expression of the individual who may be deficient in some areas but is still an endearing, well-liked member of a social community. By making her conform, Hasbro sent a worse message: ableism (the act of discriminating against someone based off of mental capability) is socially acceptable.

I've fought for mental equality on other accounts and pages before. I'll admit, though, I didn't even know what I was talking about. I also couldn't grasp its meaning.

This however, hits home. I can't say for certain what kind of impact it has, but it muddies the waters a bit for my fellow bronies and I.

Sweetie Belle Derelle!

This blog has been Derelle'd!

Confound these Ponies!

Yep, another brony blogger, another railfan blogger, and another point at which Equestria and the real world collide.

So let the randomness begin!
