Words and Opinions *WARNING! SEASON FINALE SPOILERS AHEAD* · 1:27am Jan 30th, 2013
Has anybody else noticed that there is absolutely no drama going on right now about alicorn Twilight?
No, seriously. Every time EQD makes a post about her, the first twenty comments are all like "OMG dem broneez is gonne flip out DRAMA BOMB LOLO LLOLOLO!!!!!!!!!1!!!!111!!!!one!!!!!!!!1!" And then there's nothing else. That's the only type of comment I see.
It's just like the with Derpy fiasco; a couple of fans have a small freak-out, and then LIKE A THIRD OF THE FANDOM goes on and on about how wrong those people are and how they poison the internet and they're stupid and dumb and we should all hate them and censorship and blah blah blah rabble rabble rabble.
This is not a base-breaker. I don't understand why so many people are saying that it is.
In all seriousness, though, Twilight's ascension did put a pretty major dent in my headcanon. I guess I'll just have to watch the season finale, and then decide what I can salvage, what needs to be changed, and what I'm just going to have to retcon. (Though I have made a few changes already to account for Trixie's canon backstory, along with the existence of the Cosmic Council.) Still, I guess that makes it kind of a good thing that I didn't get any more chapters posted over the course of season 3.
Yeah, sorry about that, by the way. It's been a really busy year. But hey! Chapter three is looking like it'll turn out at over 25,000 words, and that brings the total word count of the story up to 50,000, which is probably more words than I've ever written before in my whole life! But that doesn't change the fact that I'm writing at a snail's pace, so I apologize nonetheless.
Apparently there's Twitter-rage at Faust. MA Larson & McCarthy have said to snap at them, not at her, at least.
This is a big shift, though, in terms of Hasbro's willingness to engage in a game-changer that would increase the difficulty of showing episodes out of order.
It also raises questions about her responsibilities and position. She couldn't stay a 'librarian' if a Princess, would she?

I did recently hear about some Twitter harassment...
I'm not saying it isn't a big change, though. I'm only saying that the perceived level of outrage is quite a bit greater than the actual level of outrage. Me personally, I'm looking forward to this. As long as it doesn't totally screw me over, I welcome this change with open arms.

Oh, it'll happen to you. Happens to most of us. It's called "Being Jossed". And when it's not you, it's the funniest thing in the world.
JK Rowling used to do it all the time in HP fandom. Mostly on purpose.
