Ascended Fanon? · 3:34pm Aug 1st, 2015
So you are all aware of the Midnight Sparkle Friendship Games toy that has been in shelves for a while now. According to some, it represents Sci Twi corrupted with magic.
Now, I'd like to draw your attention to the toy's packaging.
Look at the background. What do you see?
Ponyville and CHS in some sort of rift.
Now I want you to reread PEG for me one more time.
Yeah, same thing.
I dunno if this is some sort of coincidence or not--the 100th episode is proof enough of how much the fandom impacts the show--but if this actually happens I'm gonna flip.
It's gonna be a bit tough to actually see it, though--that's like right at dinner time, plus is well into college time and I have OTW stuff like right after it. I don't wanna miss the film now, though.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that one episode with Luna and the Tantibus and the dreams. That one was also one big love letter to the fans (it gave a reason to bring back Flutterbat, for one). Prince(ss) Big Mac was already a thing long before that, though. I can't believe I missed some stuff from that part when I first watched it--I mean, I remember watching CatDog a long time ago on... was it on Cartoon Network? I don't quite remember. Though I assume it was, that was one of the two kids networks I had access to at the time, the other one was a local one. And yeah, I was barely a 90s kid.
My point still stands though: these two episodes show how much the fandom impacts the show.
