Why did they let Twilight keep one of the school supplies instead of discarding it after the exam?

>>42268894 (OP)
Twilight molested Spike, he just doesn't remember it.

>>42268906
Huh

I like the idea that it was never supposed to work in the first place because the egg wasn't fertilized. As a result it was completely unprecedented and they just went with whatever Celestia gave the okay to.

>>42269193
Some people would say that the existence of Shining Armor is a contradiction to Twilight being a lonely loser but I say that Spike also is. Friendship is Magic is a somewhat remake of Rescue at Midnight Castle so the girls should have met him during their adventure like in the G1 movie.

>>42269221
To be fair she's not a lonely loser, she literally thinks she's too good for friends at the start. It's why she treats Spike kinda like shit.

>>42269236
mind = blown

Can't believe FiM Twilight was a board user all this time

>>42269240
Except, she's got the knowledge and research to back up her sense of intellectual superiority. Say what you will of Twilight, but she isn't a pseud, unlike the rest of us.

>>42269256
Except when it's funny for her to be a complete moron, then she literally stands on a soapbox.

>>42269262
Membership to the Dunning-Kruger Summit Club can never be revoked. Anyone who's intellectually curious will forever remain trapped in a state betwen being very informed and very stupid. There's a lot that you know, but much more that you don't know, and the more that you know, the easier it is to convince yourself of your own intellect, so the easier it is to make yourself look really stupid by overstepping your own knowledge. Basically: she's smart, and that helps her, but she knows she's smart, and knowing that she's smart is usually what undoes her.

>>42269256
Exactly. This thread wasn't about sucking on Twilight's horn, but I gotta say that I admired her precisely for that. Bitch spent her entire life studying and gathering information that led her to predict and prepare for a tragedy she had no one to convince anyone of. Even (from her perspective) the Princess herself was mocking her. But she remained true to her principles and, armed with her knowledge and conviction, managed to stop an invasion and build a group of friends for herself. FiM Twilight was extremely based and peak marehood.

>>42269285
Bitch believed in a random fairy tale like a gullible child, nothing about it was logical. She didn't even attempt to make friends with the others, they fell into her lap and did all the work socializing with with her. She stumbled through everything unearned through sheer happenstance, she's a shitty mary sue.

>>42269539
>she's a shitty mare sue
shut up

>>42269539
To be fair I'd imagine it would've been a lot smoother if they'd gone with the original plan and had Nightmare Moon be the finale of the first season. Then she would've had time to actually earn all of that.

>>42269558
>Moon be the finale of the first season
Source?

>>42269560
They way everypony acts in season 1 toward the six ponies that saved the world make more sense if they haven't saved the world, yet.

>>42269577
No one ever noticed the M6 for saving the world at all. Not even after they defeated Discord.

>>42269578
They should have, that's the point. It was literally enshrined in the royal palace. Discord dances around in the stained glass window that depicts all six of them purifying Luna.

>>42269650
They had celebrations honoring their accomplishments both times too with all the same copy pasted ponies in attendance.

>>42269240
Everyone loves books.

Why did Celestia make Twilight raise a baby at age 10

>>42270940
She had to take responsibility.

>>42270940
It's a vital lesson for caring for all the little ponies when you're the ruler of Equestria. After all, Celestia once had a child too.

>>42270940
Equestrian orphanages don't accept nonpony babies.

>>42271196
>After all, Celestia once had a child too.
What?

>>42269236
Kinda like Peter before becoming Spider-Man. He wasn't some meek soft spoken nerd like in modern portrayals. He got bullied because he was a standoffish dickhead who thought he was better than everyone else.

>>42271941
Yeah, it's a fun arc for a character to have.
