Okay, I just thought of something. I'm sure someone's said this before but I haven't seen it so let me go off:
I love how casually and surprisingly progressive the MLP finale is with where everypony ends up.

went on tiktok and they're saying that applejack isn't butch because she doesn't despise femininity :(
currently making ref sheets for mane six rn so in the mean time take some brainstorming I had (tho I definitely think Starswirl is a first draft/I’ll make a less rushed design later,,)
Sure is funny that the only capitalist in MLP is called Filthy Rich...
the mane 6 in order of how well they get along with discord
fluttershy (duh)
twilight (she acts like she hates him but they’re very good friends)
pinkie pie (theyre chums but also she kinda frightens him)
applejack (they’ve come to an understanding)
rainbow dash (are able to relate to each other through their shared trait of I Love Fluttershy but not much else)
rarity (they’ll do favors for each other if need be but also. the yuck vibes are off the charts between them)
What they say: I'm fine
What they mean: it's not that the mane six (sans fluttershy, who is hereforth exempt) or celestia are "secretly the REAL villains" or w/e and its not like discord doesnt need to learn how to not be so goddamned dysfunctional, but sometimes it feels like they really don't value the nature of who and what he is and where he fits into their magical ecosystem, or bother meeting him half way and being compassionate about his dysfunction, to the point where sometimes it feels like their take away (and to some degree the audience's?) is that he needs to fundamentally change who he is in order to be "good," rather than the bad things he does being not much more than breakdowns or reactions that are the result of understandable maladjustment. They also dont seem to comprehend that a lot of his paranoia and trust and self-esteem issues and diffuclty making connections could be helped simply by maintaining open communication with him and not making him feel like a prisoner or a chairty case, acknowledging that they ultimately need him to maintain order in their realm
Okay so I had a discussion with @babywonderlandwerewolf in the notes of this post and now I have enough Thoughts on Sunset Shimmer to make another post about it:
Cause like, if they're correct about time passing slower on the other side of the mirror and that's how the humans are younger (at least in maturity?) than the ponies, then think of what that means for Sunset
She gets mad and runs away at like 12-14 and by the time she comes back (on the human side anyway) she's 15-17. So, to her, it's only been 3 years. She would mentally still be a teenager
But, on the other side of the mirror, we know it's been longer than that since she's been gone. She left a little bit before Twilight became Celestia's new student, which happened when Twilight was a little kid (age not confirmed). By the time Sunset Shimmer comes back, Twilight is already an alicorn which means she's advanced in her studies (again no specific age given but she's definetly an adult by pony standards; she lives without her parents and stuff). So, at the lowest estimate, it's been 10 years on the pony side
Imagine how fucked up that must be. Sunset Shimmer would mentally still be 16 but, whenever she goes back to Equestria, she's a teen in an adult's body and everypony she remembers from before she left is now way older than her (this gets more juicy if you believe on the "Sunburst and Sunset are siblings" theory, which I do)
Then again, this still wouldn't explain why going through the mirror apparently aged down Twilight when she went through in the first movie already as an adult mare (unless it was adjusting her to match everyone else?? but if Sunset remained the same age the first time she went in then.... Idfk)
Also, if we're viewing it like this then the Princess Twilight/Sunset ship is messed up now because, even though they physically would look the same age, Sunset lives like she's 16 while Twilight lives like an adult (ew Twilight). It's like in Bojack Horseman when Bojack dates Wanda
Honestly,I think the MLP fandom right now is one of the best fandoms to like discuss stuff in right now,cause all of the most stupid people from it have either decided the show sucks now or have really had their time to think about self reflection and become better people because of the show
