Fair 'nough

Reasons for all the seeming plot holes.

Statue is new, but the celebration isn't.

Actually, real question here, how long has it been since first two episodes?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Well, since you posted the sketch there, might as well post what came of it:


I should point out that the entirety of that image was made way past my normal sleep time, so the quality suffers from that. Also, I can't use the "thick colored outlines" thing properly, really messes with the mechanical bits.

I think I'll go back to sketch stage and try to do it in a more normal way later.

Real time: First episode october 10th, 2010. Second October 22nd, 2010 (luna's last appearance was exactly one year before Luna Eclipsed, mwahahaha).

In universe time: Uncertain. Possibly under a year if this celebration is before the summer sun celebration. Over a year if there's been another summer sun celebration but not an episode for it (yet?).

[Dsarker]

Further reasons.


Why is the celebration not new? How do we know? Because Nightmare Moon is their version of the boogeyman. We know that Spike knows enough without, presumably, being familiar with the story, to say 'but that's just an old ponies' tale'.

The entire celebration is put on by the adults like a halloween party is. Sure, there's 'scary' stuff, but we've also got the 'babysitter' type, who is clearly intelligent enough to know that the only reason she's being 'scared' of Nightmare Moon is to play with the kids.

They probably didn't know that Luna was coming, but they had been used enough to the celebration that they already had things reasonably organised. I'm thinking that season 2 happens at least two years, maybe more, after season 1.

Lesson Zero. Great episode, or greatEST episode?

Rarity was cut for time

Note Lauren's phrasing:

"Sounds like" she got cut.

Translation: She didn't know, because she's no longer a big enough part of the team to even know, she didn't watch the final cut before it was considered a finished product, she didn't watch it at any point during the (8 months?) between completion and airing, and apparently, she didn't even bother to watch it when it did.

Lauren found out Rarity wasn't in the episode when a fan told her. Apparently that's how much a part of the project she is now.

Hello everypony!
How are things going for fellow bronies?

[TheBronzePickle]

Hi and welcome to the forums. We're doing...sorta okay, I guess.

[Kaiser]

Thanks for the welcome.
Good to hear you're doing okay.

Hello everypony!

I read this in Twi's voice. You're going to hear that too, once you read this.

And welcome to Bay12, where the Shanghai is always noon and the crabs are aplenty.

What have you done to my mind, I can hear Twilight speaking to me...

[Zaerosz]

Little tip, Kaiser. Should you happen to encounter a thread called "Mane 6 and the seven dwarves", do not open it. Unless you're prepared to find one of the only fics capable of topping Cupcakes.

These are things no man, dwarf or pony is meant to know.

[TheBronzePickle]

He's lying. It's quite a nice story, you'd like it, but some people are jealous of our amazing writing ability.

No, not really. It's pretty gruesome, but I'd recommend you check out the thread just so you know what's going on and don't get caught in our special little hell.
