Line 163:
 
== The opposite of Twilight's element is actually Science. ==
If Discord had brainwashed her into opposite, she would be acting like [[G La DOSGLaDOS]]. [[Even Evil Has Standards|And that would have scared Discord beyond the point of madness.]]
 
== Twilight's new spells this season... ==
Line 499:
* ''Hurricane Fluttershy'' confirms that the bullying she received was emotionally traumatic and still affects her to this day.
 
== At some point during season two Fluttershy will [[You ArePlaying a Tree Charlie Brown|be a tree]] in a [[Theater|play]]. ==
And she will be perfectly content with the role.
 
Line 615:
*** I think this is the most likely explanation. Sure, she's fast, but she has little to no experience in ''formation flying'' - only alone. Even in Winter Wrap Up she's seen to be the ''captain,'' but does little flying of her own, just pointing the squads where to go.
* Also, she won the ''Young'' Fliers' Competition. It's possible ponies just don't join the Wonderbolts until they're older.
* Jossed. Season 5 has Rainbow Dash explicitly setting the all-Equestria speed record for long-distance flight, beating out the prior record holder (Spitfire's predecessor as Wonderbolts team captain). So, Rainbow Dash is officially the fastest pony in Equestria.
 
== "Rainbow Dash" isn't her real name / Rainbow Dash is a natural blunette/violette with really girly hair. ==
Line 693 ⟶ 694:
She's so sympathetic to Fluttershy's angst in "Hurricane Fluttershy" partly because of her guilt in being part of what made her so self-conscious in the first place.
* Probably not, or at least not to the same extent as the others. The pegasus race in The Cutie Mark Chronicles started with Rainbow sticking up for her, after all. In fact, she could have been sympathetic toward Fluttershy ''because'' she was always the one who stuck up for her.
** Vanishingly unlikely. Not only is Fluttershy perhaps Rainbow Dash's oldest friend, but we have also consistently seen that RD ''hates'' bullies, and did so even as a younger foal. Add in that she was mercilessly teased ''herself'' in flight camp ("Rainbow Crash", anyone?), and its inconceivable that she'd ever have been part of this. Indeed, her and Fluttershy likely bonded initially over being stuck with reputations they absolutely couldn't stand; Rainbow Dash eventually managed to overcome hers, but Fluttershy didn't.
 
== Rainbow Dash is the last descendant of an ancient race of special Pegasus. ==
Line 803 ⟶ 805:
* That or she hadn't finished it yet/could not for the life of her get it right and was at home being melodramatic as she does. Exactly like with the nest Twilight made in Winter Wrap-Up. Because it was too fantastic to make properly, much like a [[Final Fantasy]] outfit can be to certain people. She just made it too awesome to actually make.
* I'd like to imagine that she designed most of the costumes worn in the episode. She made so many that by the time she finished her own costume, she became tired, fell asleep, and missed the whole event. By the time she awoke, it was morning, but Sweetie Belle left her a bag of candy.
** [[Word of God]] is that is exactly what happened - Rarity knocked herself out making everypony's costume and slept in that night. The Doylist reason for Rarity's absence is simply that Tabitha Gt. Germain is the voice actress for both Rarity ''and'' Princess Luna, and since this was a Luna spotlight episode Rarity's part was cut both for length and to lighten Tabitha's workload.
 
== Rarity is an amateur fashion designer. ==
Line 870 ⟶ 873:
** Fluttershy owns the cottage and obviously has some kind of business in order to feed and home literally hundreds of pets. Her actions and the fact that she has stocks of pills in the episode with Celestia's phoenix suggest she may be a vet.
** In fact, the only of the mane six who DOESN'T own their own home or business is Pinkie.
*** Pinkie Pie is a professional party planner in addition to being an assistant baker for the Cakes, so she actually does own her own business. She just works two jobs.
 
== The Mane Cast ==
Line 1,087 ⟶ 1,091:
* Mind you, she did eventually relent, and she wasn't behind every misfortune that came Dash's way (she had no way of knowing about the Flim Flam Brothers).
 
== Alternate theory on the Element of Magic. (Borrowed from [[Friendship Isis Dragons]]) ==
The general agreement on how Magic fits in with the other Elements is that it's a [[Title Drop]] - but what if that's not it? The thing is that Friendship is not just one thing. It's many elements coming together that make up a bond between people (or ponies, as the case may be). So how is Magic connected? Well, think about it. The Mane Cast are as different as different can be - a socially awkward nerd, a flamboyant fashionista, a down-to-earth cowfilly, a silly [[Reality Warper]], a shy but kind girl, and a brash athlete. And yet, they all get on, despite the fact that their personalities SHOULD, by all rights, be incompatible. All of these ponies, coming together, getting on... it's just like ''magic''.
 
Line 1,102 ⟶ 1,106:
* Rather than a romantic couple, as some have speculated, Dash and Fluttershy are actually sisters. It's why RD stuck up for Fluttershy at flight school, why she insisted that Fluttershy was her number one flier, why she was so enthused to see Fluttershy unhurt after the incident with the Changelings. In fact, it may well have been her desire to look out for her sister that caused Rainbow Dash to leave Cloudsdale and move to Ponyville. After discovering her talent for helping animals, Fluttershy saw no need for staying in Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash could have stayed and worked more on her flying to fulfill her dream to join the Wonderbolts. But her Loyalty to her sister drove her to move to Ponyville as well.
* Kind of the opposite of the usual older-younger sibling dynamic then? Considering how much taller Fluttershy was as a filly.
** Jossed: we see Fluttershy's family in season 6. Fluttershy ''does'' have a sibling, but its not Rainbow Dash but instead her brother Zephyr Breeze.
 
== Their "Friendship" Magic is interchangable. ==
