That's actually kinda badass, but I'm not sure if Sonic can really represent all six Elements, particularly magic...but then I have a mental image of him having an epic battle with Discord and I can suspend disbelief. :3

Keep in mind that the element didn't activate by Twilight's magic.
It activated the moment she realized how much she cared for her friends.

Friendship is Magic afterall.

Can't argue against that.

Anyhow, looking forward to tomorrow's episode.

I watched the spoiler clip EqD posted, it's not really that big a deal (like previous episodes, it's probably a scene that will turn out to be fairly important, but spoiling it doesn't ruin the entire episode). I assume it's either the first scene in the episode or something in middle of the episode, but that's just me speculating. Seems like a standard fantasy sequence. I'm wondering if it's going to be the only scene like that in the episode or not. I'm definitely eager to find out!

Tabitha's blog has replaced the word Derpy Hooves with ____ . So it seems a name change is a high probability now. I kinda on the wagon with the whole 'prevent copyright' scenario with the word Derpy than fan-complaint. Though ever since her receiving talking scene and having that voice, I've kinda figured something like this would be inevitable. Besides, I don't care much for her anyway, and she worked better as a silent background "Where's Waldo" type character anyway.

However, everypony is really up in arms with this and jumping to conclusions like the ponies in Ponyville whenever they overreact to something to a point that it seems a tad ridiculous. It's not like the show is in danger of getting canceled or anything which is a true worry than for some background pony who will probably just have a name change (and maybe scene change in Last Roundup) and nothing more out of it. Yeah, I understand the whole "Derpy insults people with mental illness" is ridiculous, but fans overreacting and petitioning about Hasbros choice of Derpy removal without more information on it will just add more fuel to the fire.

Tabitha's blog post being edited is almost certainly her screwing with people (there's a better way to phrase that, but I can't think of it at the moment). Hasbro doesn't have the power to censor personal blogs of people just because they work on the show, and if they did have that power the post would be gone.

I agree. Tabitha likely did this as a runing joke on the controversy.

[Legendary Emerald]

In better news, the webcomic Questionable Content released what I believe to be its first comic featuring a My Little Pony reference.

That moment you realize you're not the only person on SSMB who reads QC.

[Emperor Robrainiac]

Yeah, I'm, sure Tabitha's just screwing around. Like Celestia said, I doubt Hasbro would have that much power to censor the people who work for them, plus I'd probably be doing the same thing if I learned that a character I played was going to be censored.

[Dark Qiviut]

It might be just a copyright issue, after all!

The episode isn't back on iTunes, but it looks like a situation may be resolving…I hope.

[Tornado]

That does lend credence to the idea.

It's great that "Derpy" is back on We Love Fine. Hopefully it is just a copyright issue.

[Speederino]

It looks like this might be blowing over, but I went ahead and signed the petition anyway. If this is a case of political correctness, then I refuse to let the will of three or four easily offended, misinformed people ruin one of my favorite characters. Not. Happening.

While I usually don't believe the credibility of Online petitions, I signed anyway... Who knows?

Anyways, I find it strange that Derpy's possibly in legal trouble due to her name begin copyrighted, and yet there's nothing regarding DJ PON-3 being mentioned in the Equestria Girls promo.

Am I missing something here?

While it may not be (and probably isn't) the reason, the fandom knows who coined the name Derpy. I doubt the same can be said for D.J. P0N-3.

Really? A friend of mine just told me that some random anon on 4chan coined it.

Speed me up, then. Who exactly named her "Derpy Hooves"?

Also, sorry to just poke in all of a sudden, but has anyone seen in the latest episode that a Thor Pony just randomly popped up in one of the scenes?

I think her most common fan nickname is Mjolna, and she already has an ask blog.
