I Just Finished Watching The EQG Summertime Shorts (I Am Slowly Working My Way Through My Watchlist)

I think it is time I made my statements about the ships I enjoy from gen 4.

Full disclaimer though, these are my personal opinions! Everyone is entitled to their own headcanons and ships ^^ if you don't like mine, that's chill. As long as yours aren't problematic or harmful, I won't judge cause we're all just here to have fun 🙏

Likely my most controversial, but I ship Twilight Sparkle and Flash Centry. I can't help it. Them being canonically flirtatious in eqg wrapped its claws around my throat in 6th grade and I've never been able to escape. A tragic love story for the books.

I also enjoy it because her brother, Shining Armor, is a royal guard and with Princess Cadence. Flash Centry is a royal guard. Twilight is a princess. Do you see my train of thought?Also Twilight with any of the other mane 6 feels strange to me, although I can't express why.

I am a Fluttercord shipper. Fluttershy makes Discord lunches AND has pillows of them together in her cottage. And you know damn well they made those pillows together during one of their tea parties. They're canon without being canon and no one will ever change my mind. Also the tragedy of discord living long after Fluttershy. What is joy? I wouldn't know.

I ship Appledash in FiM and Rarijack in eqg. But also I think Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity should just be poly in FiM.

Pinkie pie and Cheese Sandwich.

I like it when they're canon.

Honorable mentions:

Flutterdash (because I'm a sucker for the protector x the lover trope) and FlutterHugger because they're stoners.

And Pinkie Favor or Party Pie or whatever (Pinkie Pie x Party Favor) but that's literally just because they're cotton candy together and they're both party ponies. I like pink and blue combos.

Its very likely that I'm forgetting some of the ships I enjoy but meh. That is all.

YES I AGREE!!!

Honestly, I don’t understand the design choice at all. I mean, other toys being released from this time looked so cool! More fluid with a modern feel. These toys feel like they wanted to capture earlier MLP gens retro feel on something that was very much not. Don’t even get me started on the gen 5 toys.

My dream gen4 my little pony toy

The discourse has long since passed on this since MLP Gen 4 has been out for years, and now they have the g5 toys which are even worse, but anyways.

I think its a real shame they didn't make the g4 pony toys have like... any poses.

Lauren Faust has such a dynamic artstyle and I understand how it was hard to make into 3D but I refuse to believe this was the best they could do:

When theyre posed they have ugly little tube legs and no elbow. I think lauren fausts artstyle works with horses because she actually tool the time to look at horse anatomy and make it unique and stylized but these look so bad and not even very dynamic when they do do the poses but usually they dont do any poses at all.

I guess Fluttershy just has a pet lobster now 🦞(if he doesn’t return in later shorts, I will be devastated)

^this is from Equestria Girls: Better Together “I’m on a Yacht” music video (from the Spring Breakdown movie)

I finished watching Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown for the first time and I loved it 😭

Some of the plot lines didn't make sense to me, but overall it was a lot of fun and I ADORED how the eqg mane 6 got to visit the pony universe

But man oh man, when are these girls gonna catch a break?? Can't they get ONE vacation that doesn't go to shit, PLEASE😭

Low-quality pony expressions dump bc they’re silly

Trans pony go brrrr

Starcatcher 🤯

I just saw a head canon of polyamorous Cadence (y’know… cause she’s the princess of love). I don’t know why this never occurred to me but it’s genius??? Poly Cadence for the win>>

S5 E19. What in the Junji Ito is this?

Dance dance dance

S9 E18 “She Talks to Angel”

THIS IS EPISODE IS AMAZINGGGG I’m never going to get over Angel in Fluttershy’s body saying “I talk to animals, I wanna marry Discord” PUHLEASEEE I will never recover from this.
