Season 5 episode discussion (Stream & episode links in first post)

@Cirrus Light  
The top image G1 AJ looks distinctly 80s in style. Pretty neat touch there on the artist’s part.

@SeraphimDawn  
I thought Rarity was the one that was based on Glory, not Coloratura?

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Yes, Rarity was inspired by Glory. But for some reason, Coloratura bears an unusually strong resemblance to Glory. Oddly enough, both Ponies seem to be good friends with AJ. I’m beginning to think that Glory basically split into two distinct characters in the transition to G4. Rarity with Glory’s personality and race, Coloratura with Glory’s colours.
 
Oh hey! You’re back to your smiley Silver Spoon!

@SeraphimDawn  
And Coloratura took Rarity’s nickname, too.

@SeraphimDawn  
I figured it was about time to change back to something a little cheerier.

@Cirrus Light  
I thought Rarity’s nickname was “Rari,” not “Rara?”

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Rarara.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
I thought it was “Rares” or something like that.

@ToskiHero  
Hmph. Looks like I’m not the only one with a new avatar.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
New avatar too.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Found a better one btw

And I’m still Mega Raichu.

@ToskiHero  
@atalarikt  
Looks like I picked the same night as everyone else to change my avatar.
 
@Jarkes  
I still remember when you were Dinobot.

@Crystal Neighybánya
 
Yeah, that one was very brief, then I changed back to Mega Raichu.

@Jarkes  
And I’m still Nano

@Crystal Neighybánya  
I changed my avatar before it was cool

@ghostfacekiller39  
Stop being such a hipster. xP

@ToskiHero  
I think “Rares” is the canonical one. Rara or Rarara are fan nicknames.
 
Heh. I wonder how she’d respond to being hailed as Rara, Rarara, or Squiggletail…

@Cirrus Light  
I thought her most common nickname in the fandom was “Rari?”

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Dude, I’m pretty sure that I’m some sort of mega-hipster in this fandom.
 
I was a (closet) fan of Sunset Shimmer the very day she was revealed.  
And for the record, this was before she was confirmed to maker her debut in the first EQG movie
 
…  
Okay, so I wasn’t amazed with her appearance in the first EQG movie, but that somehow didn’t deter me from losing interest in her. Fanon Sunset, on the other hand, was what kept me interested in her. Plus there was this really great Sunset Shimmer fanfic - Sunset of Time - that I loved reading, and it’s now one of my favorite MLP fanfics of all time.
 
And then Rainbow Rocks came out, and I fell in love with Sunset all over again.  
Now I’m an open and dedicated fan of Sunset on both fanon and canon terms.
 
I’m still pretty fond of Rainbow Dash (she’s still best pony for me).  
But Sunset these days is pretty damn close to outright dethroning her given status in my book.
 
Honestly, I should just go and declare Sunset as best pony.  
_{If only my loyalty (heh) to Dashie wasn’t so conflicting in going through with that decision.}
 
…  
God dammit I’m such a fucking nerd

@ToskiHero
 
Say what do you think of the IDW backstory they gave her?

@ToskiHero  

 
Replace “Sunset” with “Coco Pommel” and “Dashie” with “Fluttershy” and you’ve got me :I

@EHAN  
Man, you really like moe girls, don’t you?

@Crystal Neighybánya  
yeesss

@EHAN  
Get with the times, man: meganekkos are where it’s at.
