A seventh Element...? · 9:51pm Sep 22nd, 2012
From the FiM wiki:
Shining Armor is listed as possessing a seventh Element of Harmony, Love, in the 2012 My Little Pony trading cards. Princess Cadance is also listed as possessing this element.
...can someone tell me why the hell was I not informed of this beforehand...? o_o
Gah. This is what I get for procrastinating and playing Skyrim too much over the summer... If it wasn't for it, I would've finished "HS" by now. Damnit.
Well, this certainly throws a wrench in my way, as I feared it would when the season 2 finale was about to air. But at the same time, it also puts things in a new and interesting perspective.
There are now seven Elements of Harmony, with the final one being Love. Makes sense being the final one 'cause without it, well, the world wouldn't be the way it is today...nor would the other Elements even work. Hmm...
This definitely is a sudden twist...but with there being seven of them, it also makes the possibility of a canonical Super transformation much more likely and real now... The question is, who? All of the possessors, or one who represents all of them? o_o
...stay tuned, people. I'll have to give this some much-needed thought.

Come on Super Klonoa, there are still more dragons out there.
I don't really feel that this has to be taken into account. It isn't canon from the show, and it doesn't at all fit in to how the rest of the elements work. If you want to bring it into your story, sure, but don't feel you have to.
._. ....... *brain lets out a tiny, squeaky fart* ... My brain hurts.
I agree with... Urala Alaha?
Whatever!
For now, we shouldn't mix up the FIM canon with Hasbro's merchandise (I'm still waiting on MLP: The Flamethrower. The kids love that one.
). My understanding is that the Elements can only do so much individually and are intended to complement each other, which is where this "Element of Love" falls short. Not only did Shining Armor's and Cadance's combined power act independently of the six Elements of Harmony to vanquish Disney cliche villain thingy, but the Elements of Harmony have functioned properly on multiple occasions without a seventh one, suggesting that the six are already complete as they are. Not to mention that we haven't seen this "Element of Love" itself (the jewelry, not the bearer).
Of course, since the writers pulled Cadance and Shining Armor out of nowhere at the end of the season, we still don't know how much of a role either one is going to play in season 3, so it's all just conjecture. Oh, and if you're wondering why I called Chrysalis and her changeling swarm a Disney cliche villain thingy, I don't know how anybody else reacted, but I cringed when I heard that the changelings fed on true love.

I swear, I'm level 45 and there is still so much to do in it. It's ridiculous! XD
