Luna looks excessively masculine there.



I like it. The style works for me.

It is a bit arrogant, yeah.

But it's still a damn good song.

Not gonna remark on Vinyl (anyone who speaks the obvious I will smack you), but I will say this: Octy looks weird in a suit. Black slinky dress fits her better. Just saying.

Still a blank-flank.

Not that she had a talent to begin with, so I guess this would amount to Fridge Brilliance.

Maybe her talent will be bullying the cmc?

Well personally, that is why I don't like her that much. Like a Mary Sue character she is just a little too perfect and bland. What makes a character relatable is often the character flaws. So for example, Twilight becomes a more interesting character due to her mental breakdown (and borderline Aspergers / obsessive compulsive disorder?), and Pinkie Pie becomes a more interesting character because of the way that her impulsive, flimsy nature (ADHD?) sometimes causes harm to herself and others as she fails to consider the consequences of her actions.

One could make a case for Pinkie being an aspie too , due to her strong lack of social tact and inability to grasp subtle social cues. This is partially why I identify so strongly with Pinkie, in addition to my love of cupcakes and hyperactive nature.

lol, I wanted to check something on the wiki page for Aspergers and accidentally the swedish page. Instant headache because I expected english... I'm weird.

Hmm... first of all, I don't think that she in any way shape or form behaves like someone with Aspergers, but I'm no expert. Second of all I don't think that one should be too quick with labelling people with psychological diagnoses. One can not make such a diagnosis based on some simple list of criteria, it's allot more complicated than that. To begin with, the diagnosis should only be applied if it causes serious problems in the persons life, and I don't think that this can really be said about any of the main six. Also, the symptoms must be persistent for a long period of time. Short and infrequent "mental breakdowns" due to stress or other factors don't really qualify. Most people have those at some point in their lives for various reasons. I guess I'm kind of guilty of this myself, though in my defence I only meant that they act a little like one might expect someone with adhd etc. to act.

All in all I agree with your statement Sesh, but it can be fun to grab a psychology book and go to work on your favorite T.V. characters. Pinkie doesent fit the steretypical aspie mold, but I have met people like her with autism spectrum disorders. Additionally, her narrow yet obsessive range of interests (friends, parites, cupcakes) is also pretty aspie-ish.

Indeed, though I'm a little troubled by how casually people can label others and themselves as having this or that diagnosis sometimes...
You can get almost any diagnosis to fit almost anyone, if you really want to.

True, but isn't that more like because she is a cartoon character and is supposed to have her super special ability that she is really good at :p
I mean, if you look at it that way, all of the ponies have pretty narrow interests. :p
