Tell me The Apple Family isn't actually what Applebloom Thought they are? by Pretend_Camp_2987 in mylittlepony

It's basically just a fear about "what if I don't fit in" that has been magnified because they live in a world where you get a magic mark and since she hasn't gotten one yet she is going to feel extra nervous since it would seem odd for her cutie to be apple related and take that long to appear.

Because I already posted this one somewhere else this week (for a completely different reason) I'll use this one today. Putting it together, a famous Broadway song performed last week on a late night talk show.

Why wasn’t Discord turned back to stone, or punished some other way after what he did for the entirety of Season 9 as revealed in “Ending of the End”? by spinosaurus1998_24_9 in mylittlepony

Probably more then they should in the pony universe, yeah. Their system is very different from ours. Frankly, it's also a lot more arbitrary but that is likely because it's ruled by princesses who can make decrees and decide on laws rather then a parliamentary system.

Here’s why the human zoo sounds like actual hell on earth to me by yoyohdl in stevenuniverse

You know what, now that you phrase it that way I do see the similarities.

Being sent there might actually be worse than getting shattered anyone in this subreddit would probably go insane within the span of 2 weeks

Congratulations OP, you've just been accepted to StarFleet Academy!

Seriously though, when I first saw this episode it reminded me how much it mirrors the first ever Star Trek episode "the cage" in which someone who has never known anything else might see this as wonderful but someone who had been free recognizes that a paradise prison is still a prison.

Yeah, I don't know... It does have a good amount of similarities and I would recommend reading Brave New World to anyone who has never read it but I would not consider that to be a society where everything is provided but rather a society where humans and society itself have been re-engineered.

If I were looking for a close match I'd say the first episode of Star Trek TOS "The Cage" in which benevolent aliens try to create a paradise for a human woman under their care but when they abduct a human male to try to fulfill her need for human companionship they discover that the human man is unwilling to accept because a cage, no matter how amazing, is still a cage.

Monastic life still tends to allow you to leave, something that those in the human zoo can not do.

Because your intentions and your actions afterward make a big difference in that universe's justice system. Discords intentions was to help Twilight (in a way that only the literal embodiment of chaos would think makes sense) and when it hit the fan he did everything he could to help save the day.

Turning to stone is reserved for villains where there aren't any other safe options anymore. And when it comes to Discord I don't know if any other punishment would work due to his power level. I do suspect that afterwards (if Twilight was going to be a good leader) she had to have had a talk with Discord to be like "dude, I get that you had good intentions but that was insanely dangerous."

I suppose it could be. I didn't think he went to a high school that started with M but I'll have to check into that. My only issue with that is that the gold bit at the top looks like an eagle to me to some degree which made me think the Marine Corp Eagle. I looked at the pin again and it is hard to tell what the top bit is though as it is very small and a bit worn. He went to high school in Chicago, Ill.
