And her being an Alicorn wasn't really important to the plot at all.
Also, Faust didn't want any other Alicorns in the series.
However, having another one isn't going to ruin everything. So... weh.
Shouldn't the bottom left be "New Mane Villain" ??
Love this so much.
Once I saw the finale and put a personality to her, I genuinely liked her as a character and I want to see more of her and Shining Armor in the future. Hell I'm even brewing plans to take this Cupcake pony I ended up with and make her into adolescent Cadence, since she has the right hair and about the right size.
Yeah, they really should've gotten Ron Perlman to do his voice.
Or Keith David.
Or H. Jon Benjamin (c'mon c'mon c'mon Studio B bring him in for a third season character)

I would like to see more Archer/MLP.
I pretty much have an idea what clips to use where but have no skills to put it together

I'll have to give it a look. The few times I've tried reading any of the fanfiction, there were enough clumsy word choices in the first few paragraphs to put me off reading any further. The only one I finished was this one, which could be subtitled: "The Redemption of Prince Blueblood", which isn't bad, but is also overlong and repetitive in spots, and has a few aspects (like the final fight and Luna's actions) that simply make no logical sense.
Saying it's in your top 10 stories does pretty much just make me question how many books you've read, but I'll ignore that.
Clones/time travel/alternate universes, I assume. Meeting yourself through time travel is already canon, so...
Better version (the cuteness, it burns...):
Also, I stumbled across this randomly while looking for that pic... this is the tumblr of the animator who designed Chrysalis. She seems kind of awesome. (NSFW warning, blog is also full of zaftig topless barbarian ladies)
EDIT:
It's actually pretty clever how the contrast between the fake and real Cadences mostly short-circuited any possible fan resentment of the latter. It's such a relief by the time the real one shows up and she's in such a pitiable condition, it would be hard to hate her. And then the montage at the end of her eating Applejack's fritters/dancing with Pinkie Pie/etc. seals the deal. She's fairly helpless on her own, so you can't really consider her a Mary Sue or an usurper to the status of Celestia/Luna, and all that's really left is people grumbling about there being more than 2 alicorns, which was never stated in the show to begin with.
There's at least five videos of that on YouTube already.
It made a pretty great Chekov's gun, even it if it's been done before.
EDIT: I have acquiesced to your demands on behalf of the bandwidth-starved philistines. But next time, let them eat cak^H^H uncompressed TIFFs!
I live on the edge
I've got my fantasy nerd cred to live up to so I'll just say I'm a big fan of terry pratchett, robert jordan and brandon sanderson.
RE: Season 3 bingo
'Bronie' - Seriously?
Lauren Faust obviously planed for them to be extremely long lived. Perhaps we're back to 'When a daddy unicorn and a mommy pegasus love each other very much' territory?
Ed & Larry : "Doesn't matter."
I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
Clone, twin, magic spell, parallel worlds, etc.
Because fanfic writers are awful people.Edit: okay sorry that's not true. Obviously most people aren't awful. Most fanfic is though.

I was mostly bothered by the fact that making Cadence an alicorn and a princess didn't seem to add anything at all to the plot. It felt like a hasty rewrite. But at least she's still a somewhat likeable, humble character rather than a prissy fairytale princess.
Other than that, "Trust your instincts" seems like a poor lesson to take from the episode. Especially when they could have gone with something like "You get your strength from the ponies who love you."
"... and so do Succubi"
There, see how much more relevant to real life that is?
This is actually the one part of the plot of the finale that irked me, especially since it was handled better in earlier episodes:
One of the really moving things for me about Pinkie's character was she had two different episodes where the lesson was basically "listen to your kids when they say something bad is happening" and in this episode we flat out had the voice of "adulthood" on the show sort of glossing over the fact that she ignored a child telling her- literally- that her babysitter was being abusive. Look, I admit I am over-thinking that, but seriously Hasbro.
The problem here wasn't Twilight's instincts, it was that everyone in authority ignored her. I dunno, I felt like that would have been a great opportunity for a line like "no, Twilight, I learned something today"
(RIP 2012-2012)
Twilight spotted something her friends and teacher hadn't and followed through with it.
What if this alicorn 'situation' escalates?
First it starts with Cadance, then an alicorn moves into ponyville. After that alicorns are running the ponyville bank, bakery, art studio etc.
Next thing you know the mane six are out of their jobs and riding their own alicorns into town to pick up their state benefit cheques!
Hasbro gets to market a pink princess pony
Studio B gets an awesome season fanalie out of it
The fans gain another pony character or two for thier dA fodder.
Totally worth it if it prompts a "DEY TERK OUR JERBS" from Applejack

If the trade off was "You guys can have your white Celestia, as long as we have a pink princess to market" im ok with this. But to all you die hard fans out there thinking she ruins the lore of Equestria, worst case scenario is that she is mentioned a couple of times. I honestly don't see her coming back visually for season 3.
