I resemble that stereotype. *gives cookies**Offers fruits*Gasp! Healthy eating? There's nothing wrong with girls being afraid of bugs, I just think it's nice to not promote that as an expectation. There was a lovely bit of film over here with David Attenborough and Princess Charlotte - I forget how old she was - asking if he liked spiders, because she liked them. It's not that phobias of bugs are necessarily caused by media presentations of them...but it's nice for girls to know it's okay to like bugs I'm honestly worn out on the subject of tone, identifiers or whatever. To be honest, what would be nicer would be people not jumping to conclusions, especially for no reason. It's fine to ask questions, or seek clarity, that's how you come to understand other points of view. But I don't feel like the tags are very helpful in the main to neurodivergent communicators in particular, even though I know some really love them. They seem to be ways to avoid using actual words, sentences and such.In any case, let's leave that subject alone and go back to the G5 stuff.

PonyfanWell, that's one form of promotion o.O
If this clip works, this is the moment It's of all of them, but from about 1 min 02 is Charlotte's question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFa4W-iKXw8I really love spiders, so I loved that she asked that. It'd be cool to have Izzy have a spider friend...It's not that it's a problem for people to be scared of bugs to be scared of bugs, but you know, to encourage those who aren't scared of bugs to be more confident in it, that would be great.I'd also love to see more love for plants, because people don't treat them very well, but if we're going to save the environment, we really need to be nicer to our trees.
Ah, yes, as a neurodivergent individual I do sometimes find it hard to interpret tone from text communication! I interpreted that comment as something like "your favorite is wrong" but I guess it was intended otherwise Sometimes I have trouble in real life social interactions, too, but in real life at least there are other cues i can try to use, like body language, so I'm usually okay especially if it is someone I know well...with strangers is another story...especially if they want eye contact...I can get overwhelmed. I'm really lucky to have a BFF who is a psychologist Anyway, the little things at the end of posts like /s for sarcasm and such, like in Wardah's article are super helpful to people like me! Or when people use the little smiley faces. I love the faces. Or even varied punctuation. I do try to use the smiley faces myself a lot of the time. Hopefully others find it useful, or at least acceptable and not annoying.A question I have for people who have seen the whole movie: Alphabittle seems to be the only pony with a dramatically different body shape compared to the others. Is that true throughout the cast of the movie? I've really only seen the song scenes and the trailer, I think. Is this addressed in any way? He also has that grayscale color scheme. I'm just curious if his body being the way it is has any significance. He intrigues me as a character.
I don't know. The Unicorn place makes me conflicted, as I feel like there's a lot more going on there but we're never going to know about it because they already moved past explaining it.Like Izzy's background as well. Why is she different and why doesn't she have any unicorn friends?
44 minutes each? Dang, that's a little long. I mean, if you cut out bumpers and commercials I think your average single cartoon episode was roughly around 20 some odd minutes.

I think those are the specials, the article says the regular episodes would be 22 minutes.
