It's actually a little sad.

3942365 I was considering tagging it with sad. Do you think it should be?

Certainly different, I'll say.

Very nice, I thought.

Never really considered that angle to this relationship. Kind of puts in a new light what Chryssi did to Shining to keep him in line.

Weaponized love, I like it.

I don't understand.

Shining Armor suspects his love for Cadence is the result of her casting a spell on him, so in his anger he responds by...through means never explained...causing everyone in Equestria to fall in love? That doesn't make sense. If he's really angry about being made to fall in love...it doesn't make sense for him to respond by doing the same thing to everyone. Unless he's completely a jerk.

I see that the payoff is that Cadence apparently casts a spell that undoes all magically compelled love in all of Equestria, thereby "proving" his love for her because presumably his love for her will remain despite the undo spell. But the setup doesn't make sense except as a contrived way to give you an excuse for the payoff.

3944425 The prank Shining pulled and the fight they had aren't connected, time-wise. Most likely the fight was a long time ago. The prank was just meant to be a harmless prank.

This doesn't usually happen, but I'm not sure what's going on. Cadence made everyone fall in love as a prank, I got that. Shiny was having doubts about their relationship, there's two.
My dumb brain just can't figure out how those fit together.

I wonder whether Princess Mi Amore Cadenza will every be able to generalize her magic to full mindcontrol. As it is, she can control ponies, but it is hard because she has only 1 of the levers.
