It should go without saying but any links to unreleased content is a permanently bannable offence. Anything that has not official aired should also be considered spoilers. Be considerate about them.

This confuses me a little. We've had leaks before; sometimes episodes appear online well before airing anywhere. Obviously spoilers should be tagged and signposted, but this is the first time I've seen spoilers be a permanently bannable offence. EqD is treating it equally harshly.

I have discovered the existence of a game called Celestia (http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/blog/post/review-and-recipe-celestia-and-fluffy-frittata/). It has nothing to do with everyone's favourite sun princess.

...Unless someone makes it have something to do with her.

"I like Pina Colada getting caught in the rain".

Misquoting a classic song provides the opportunity for a short fic or comic about the filly sometimes labeled as related to Berry Punch or Berryshine. (Not to be confused with Berry Pinch/Ruby Pinch).
I'm thinking a pegasus filly or colt playing a prank on her because of their foalhood crush.

Any takers? Anyone think it mildly amusing?

For a ship with such a perfect name, why doesn't it exist? Is it because M/M pony ships are generally unpopular?

Preface: I usually preface these idea posts to say that if you want to take these ideas and run with them you are more than welcome to, with or without notifying me, but this time it is slightly different. I still don't need to be notified, but as my idea relies so heavily on the work of an existing story that does not span a universe of fics, I would highly recommend notifying Horizon once any derivative work is complete.

Preface: I am not a writer, and therefore never expect that I will write any fics with my ideas. If anyone reads this and sees an idea they'd like to make reality, go ahead. I don't ask you to ask me first, and I don't even ask that you credit me for the idea. I merely request that you tell me once you've written it, so I may enjoy the fruit of my idea (no matter how far it may have deviated). If you want my advice on the idea or assistance developing it further, I can do that so long as I

Season 4 finale - spoiler warning

An amazing episode, with shipping, cultural references, fandom nods, a classic villain reworked for modern audiences, and an epic battle.
I haven't got a deep analysis for my few readers, but there is one thing to note about that epic battle: It provides an implied upper limit on the power level of an alicorn.

I was right, Pinkie's key was a gift from Cheese Sandwich. (Boneless the rubber chicken)
Just waiting on Fluttershy (Breezies episode as a guess, since we know it is a Fluttershy ep), Applejack (unknown episode), and Twilight (I'm now pegging it for the 24th episode, with a hunch that it will involve Trixie (although Celestia is also possible))

For anyone following season 4, it is pretty obvious that Rarity's key is the rainbow spool she received from Coco, and Rainbow's key is the pin from Spitfire.
What may be confusing some people, is why it is the pin rather than the qualifying medal, especially since the medal is rainbow and this is all leading to the mane 6 gaining Rainbow Power forms.
My theory on that, is that the key is always a gift, not a reward, for representing their element.
