    50 Questions

    Last year, around October, Ice Star posted this fun questionnaire and I ask whether I could do it too. The answer was yes but the thing is, I was busy and completely forgot about doing it. Now, as I'm sick in bed, I have time and I can answer (I don't know if that's clear). So, stick with me (if you want to) and let's go!

    It wasn't plan like that

    But I happen to be writing a mini thesis about the Brony fandom for one of my College classes about subcultures. Life is amazing!

    Why I certainly will be obliged to cancel The Last Flower (and it's breaking my heart)

    I know, I know, the story's been on hiatus for at least a year now. But still, I really wanted to keep on writing it and bringing you the rest of the story, once College will leave me enough time to write something on a regular basis. I have really enjoyed creating this post-apocalyptic AU which contained a lot of theme which were dear to me and which, unfortunately, hasn't even been tackled

    Dashie's playlist N°1

    Yeah, I know this isn't a story but... I wanted to share with you the playlist of songs I've made which for me fits with Rainbow Dash as I made her in The Truth About Girls. Also, I used to play many of those songs when I was writing this fiction and A Story of Love (Among Others). Hope you'll enjoy, and don't forget to tell me what's your opinion. Thank you :twilightsmile:

MLP Quizz · 8:51am Oct 12th, 2017

Found it on Awesomo3000's userpage and thought it was cool.


Fav characters? Well, all Mane6... But also Soarin, Spitfire, the CMC, Luna, Celestia, Derpy, Trixie, Maud, Daring Doo, Sunset Shimmer, and Spike (even if he doesn't appear much in my stories :facehoof:)

Least fav characters? Discord, Starlight Glimmer, Tirek (and em... sometimes Fluttershy)

Fav background pony? Derpy... Yeah, it's rather common...

Least fav background pony? Don't really dislike any of them!

Fav Mane Six member? DASHIE (and Pinkie Pie really close).

Least fav Mane Six member? Well, Fluttershy, mainly because I'm not amazed by her character development.

Fav CMC? Sweetie Belle

Least fav CMC? Scootaloo, I guess...

Fav princess? I really like Luna, but I have to say Twilight. Although she's not in my top 3 favorite of the Mane6 I still like her a lot and think the way her character has evolved to be very interesting.

Least fav princess? I'll say Cadence. Don't get me wrong, I think she's OK, but I don't find her particularly useful to the plot. BUT her singing voice is probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite.

Most overrated character? Starlight Glimmer and Discord.

Most underrated character? Applejack.

Fav season? I'd say season 1 because I really enjoy the cartoonish humor which reminds me of what I used to watch in my childhood, but I'm one of the few persons who really appreciated Season 5.

Least fav season? Season 3. When I did reviews for my blog, it's the one which got the worst ratings.

Fav episode? A Dog and Pony Show. Also probably because it was the one episode that made me want to watch the cartoon. But also Hurricane Fluttershy, Testing, Testing 1,2,3 and Newbie Dash (by the way, I took my time before I watched it since I was scared to be in front of one more episode where Dashie's character is bad written and I was pleasantly suprised about what it showed of her). And more generally, Rarity-focused episodes.

Least fav episode? Dungeons & Discord. Discord + role play = a torture for me. I also hated 28 Pranks Later for I thought it was over the top to scare Dashie making her think her whole village is violently ill because of her, just for a few little pranks that weren't that mean... But that's just my opinion). Also, I tend to skip Keep Calm and Flutter On and Putting Your Hoof Down.

Most okay episode? I don't know... The Cutie Pox?

Most forgettable episode? Just For Sidekicks.

Fav episode focused on your fav Mane Six member? Those I already mentionned: Testing 1,2,3, Newbie Dash, but also Wonderbolts Academy, Rainbow Falls, Read It and Weep. Oh, and Parental Glideance!

Fav episodes focused on the other Mane Six?
FLUTTERSHY: It Ain't Easy Being Breezies.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE: Lesson Zero, Magical Mystery Cure, Twilight's Kingdom.
RARITY: A Dog and Pony Show, Sweet and Elite.
APPLEJACK: Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.
PINKIE PIE: MMMystery on the Friendship Express, Too Many Pinkie Pies, Party Pooped.

And the CMC? Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Ponyville Confidential (but I could never understand what was so shameful about the fact Fluttershy could have mane extensions? Poor mama did nothing wrong!)

Don't forget Spike. Power Ponies.

How about Starlight? Argh... Thing is, I don't really enjoy her episodes... So, let's say, Celestial's Advice... Maybe...

Any episode you hate but everyone else loves? Putting Your Hoof Down. But I'm not sure everyone loves it.

The other way around? The Return of Harmony (part 1 and part 2).

How about a episode everyone loves but you find good/okay? Slice of Life (I only really enjoy Derpy's parts).

Any guilty pleasure episodes? Party Pooped. When I've read reviews, I was suprised to see the general opinion was the humor and episode in the whole was overall okay, but not that good. Each time I see it, I keep on thinking this is incredibly funny! Same thing with A Dog and Pony Show... In all honesty, it's not the most exciting of episodes but it remains my favorite one, even if that's a little silly.

Any episode you didn't like at first but grew to like when you watched it again? Sleepless in Ponyville.

Have you ever skipped an episode? No, never when I watch the episodes for the first time... But I do when I'm rewatching, whether it is because I don't like the episode or I only want to watch my favorite ones.

Fav season premiere and finale? Well, Friendship Is Magic (because it's the beginning of everything) and Twilight's Kingdom.

Least fav premiere and finale? Celestial Advice and The Cutie Re-Mark.

Fav song? A True, True Friend, Apples to the Core, This Day (Aria) and Pinkie's Smile Song.
(For the Equestria Girls movies, that would be Hope Shines Eternal and Shine Like Rainbow)

Least fav song? I can't remember the name, but that's the Discord's song in the Three's A Crowd episode.

Best villain? Queen Chrysalis.

Worst villain? I'm going to quote Awesomo3000 here, since I totally agree:

Starlight Glimmer. Childish interpretation of equality + pathetic and unsympathetic backstory + somehow making it to adulthood still bitter and angry over something she should’ve gotten over long ago (when compared to Apple Bloom who actually handled it like an adult and sought out new friends) + horribly-rushed and frankly undeserved redemption where she instantly gets accepted by everyone including the Our Town ponies she brainwashed for Celestia-knows-how-long + plot armour that allows her to somehow be able to compete with an Alicorn + getting off scot-free for her crimes without receiving proper consequences or even a smack upside the head (and no, “consequences” is not synonymous with “capital punishment” or “the guillotine”) + dull personality that amounts to little more than "I'm reeeeally sorry for what I did" + constantly moping and reminding the audience of her previous villainy thanks to there being no outside force reminding her of it to drive the conflict + blatantly repeating her past crimes (brainwashing her own friends) and getting off scot-free with little more than a slap on the wrist + getting stapled as an obligatory "straight man" who deflects, absorbs and reacts to more interesting and funny characters who steal her spotlight (Trixie, Discord, Thorax, Maud, Celestia and Luna) and creating the illusion of character development where none really exists + abusing her magic (No Second Prances, Every Little Thing She Does, A Royal Problem) and getting praised/rewarded/let off scot-free for it thus never learning her lesson + having the other characters be made completely useless so she has to be the only one who can save the day + growing into little more than a sycophant who trips over her own hooves while attempting the most basic of social interactions = UGGGGH.

Best tertiary antagonist? I don't know. Trixie? I really like her "tada"! :rainbowlaugh:

Worst tertiary antagonist? Don't know either. Always thought Diamond Tiara to be too much of a stereotype until Crusaders of the Lost Mark.

Do you like the first Equestria Girls movie? I have to admit: I did. At first, my feelings were mixed, but I eventually enjoyed it after I rewatched it.

What about Rainbow Rocks? Except the fact that Dashie is protrayed like a parody of herself, yeah I enjoyed it much. It has a lot to do with the songs of the Sirens, which are great and Sonata's personality. Plus, improvement of Sunset Shimmer's character.

And Friendship Games? I think it's the best of the three.

Don't forget Legend of Everfree! Not the best, but probably the funniest one, in my opinion. Though I'm not fond of the "superpowers thing", since I don't really like superheroes and superheroe movies.

How about the three specials? Only saw Dance Magic so far and it wasn't that bad. I like how it expands the lore of the Equestria Girls world (could we say "lore" about it?)

Speaking of movies, looking forward to the 2017 movie? YES! CAN'T WAIT TO BE NEXT WEEK (It's only released on October, the 18th in France)! Though I have to admit I'm not thrilled about seeing it in French :fluttershysad:

Fav shippings? SOARINDASH :heart: But also SunLight, FlashLight, CheesePie, PinkieMac and I can enjoy a bit of RariJack.

Least fav shippings? FlutterDash

Fav bronies in the community? Dusk Writer and Midday Giggle because they're the sweetest :heart:

Best kind of fans? All those who are swarming with creativity :twilightsmile: I just LOVE creativity!

Worst kind of fans? Those who absolutely want you to say their headcannons are the best, or the more logical and who don't want to hear about yours because it unsettles theirs. I mean, the point of fanfiction is to write what you'd like to see happen in the show and know it probably won't happen). I'm very fond of SoarinDash but I know there's very little chances for it to be cannon one day, that doesn't mean I'm going to annoy those who love other ships because I'd think they're wrong, or something like that. Also, those hating on Flash Sentry, just because they "stole their waifu". Take a deep breath: they're both not real!

Any characters you didn’t like but grew to like as the series progressed? Trixie.

Have a waifu? No :rainbowlaugh:

If you could remove one meme from the fandom, what would it be? "Rainbow Dash is a lesbian because she's a tomboy and her mane is a rainbow". Being a tomboy doesn't mean you're lesbian, like, for example, being a ballet dancer when you're a boy doesn't mean you're gay. Let's get out of those stereotypes. I've known a lot of lesbian girls who were very feminine, they're not all butches. "Soarin is acting stupid in front of apple pies". It only happened once for now. And of course, the "Applejack is best background pony" thing. She may be not as eccentric as others, but the role she plays in the group is as essential as the one of the others.

Can you name anyone you want to guest star on the show? Maybe some actors from old Hollywood? Like Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable of Audrey Hepburn?

And finally, what about a guest star to voice a one-time villain? Hm. Christina Aguilera?
