Site Update » Twilight Tag · 7:26pm Dec 11th, 2014
I meant to do this a long LONG time ago, but Twilicorn has now been merged into the Twilight Sparkle tag. The reason that tag existed was because of all the drama around the time Twilight became an Alicorn but it no longer makes any sense to pollute the tag pool with two copies of one character.
Incoming drama in three... two...
And a new flame war begins.
You fool... what have you done?!
Unacceptable! I hate you knighty! You're not my real dad!
Finally!
As someone who was a bit weirded out by the non-consensual forced physical transformation of Twilight by Celestia, that pic is heartbreaking.
Nooooooooooo not Princess Twilight! How could you?!
No, seriously, this does indeed make sense.
To be honest I think I only used it once, and that was a fic set 1500 years in the future when it shouldn't matter anyway.
Drama starting in 10-9-8
Oh i cant wait for the reactions to this...
2647034 You're a prophet.
Twilicorn drama? I still haven't gotten over the Gala drama!
S1E26 didn't happen, okay? In my headcanon they had the best night ever!
Wait, there still isn't a "Villians" category in the character selection? Best draconequus is still a "Side Character"? Alright, I'm okay with that. I don't make the rules.
still need a blossumfortth tag
Wait a minute... you receded and changed stuff because of drama? Yea... we're done here. You've just gone a scale lower in my opinion.
So do all stories that used to have the unicorn version have it as the alicorn now automatically?
2647056 The reverse.
Maybe this is out of the question, but...
A tag for post-transformation Twilight Sparkle, and a tag for pre-transformation?
Idk, I'm just throwing an idea out here.
There isn't really much reason to be upset anymore. Season 4 showed us that unless it's an episode specifically about Twilight as a princess (which we had what, 3 all season? Unless you count the two parters as separate episodes, which I don't), you barely even notice it.
I'm okay with this. :)
Now can we get a Royal Guard tag please? Thanks based Knighty.
Yeah, makes sense. Honestly I never saw much value in it in the first place, but I think people are over it now. Plus people weren't using the tags consistently anyway.

...isn't that literally what was just removed?
RUN AWAY, SAVE YOURSELVES!

Incidentally, this reminds me:
Might it not make sense to change Luna into her modern form, seeing as she only ever didn't have the whole starry mane thing for that one episode?
I hate you for this, you know.
Wait, Twilight's an alicorn? When did this happen?
But… what if you have Twilight and Twilicorn in the same fic like I do?
This was necessary.
neat
but... I like having two tags...
2647075
Yes, please. This has bothered me ever since I got to fimfic. Why base her tag off of an appearance she had for like two minutes?
Why is Cadence not listed under "Princesses"?
I was never bothered by the dual tags in the first place. This change leaves me similarly unaffected.
The only thing I dislike is that you're keeping the unicorn Twilight tag instead of the Twilicorn tag. It would make more sense if you used the tag that showed her current state. For that matter, we need an updated Luna tag.
BLASHPAHMY!
Now to just set us up with a fresh batch of emotes and we'll be rockin' like a real site
2647094
Because she's a princess?
Except for Perfect for Me.
2647081
oh god please no Hasbro
Takes time to do this, but still no beta site for testing. Shame on thee.
2647041
Hm... inb4 fanfic inspired by that and that picture.

2647101 Then why isn't she?
Yay for the removal of redundant tags.
2647072 Yes, that IS literally what was just removed. Talk about not taking stock of the situation, eh?
2647083 If your story description isn't enough to reflect that absurdity, I honestly don't know what to tell you.
Personally it would have made more sense to me to have them separated to show that a story would take place before or after the season 3 finale, but oh well.
The Unicorn tag is kept, yes!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's silly that people complain about Twilight Sparkle being an alicorn. It was a wonderful ending to a wonderful season. If you were to keep the tag, I would just keep it in the "Princess" section. But you've made your decision so I'll respect that.

So having the Nightmare Moon tag and Luna tag is a bad thing? In which case, people consider Nightmare Moon as a separate from Luna: one being who she really is and the other being, I assume, not. Wanting to get rid of this all for the simple fact that Nightmare Moon on made an appearance in (2647075 by the way) two episodes? Why don't we just remove the King Sombra tag while we are at it. *sarcasm* I mean, he made less of an appearance than Nightmare Moon, and he even said less words.
Thanks Knighty. Looking for ships with Twilight was really hard when I had to go though two tags to find them.
2647109 Maybe I should write a short one-shot about it. xD
2647117 They're talking about the image
