WE HAVE A PONY HATER IN OUR MIDST? 

But no it wasn't a deliberate pony reference. XD. I don't mind the shows, I think it's cute, but a little spastic for my preferences [[b][i]god fucking dammit Pinkie Pie[/i][/b]]. The fandom produces some fantastic stuff though, and mostly I follow the fandom because of that.

As for the evolution... well... is it a good idea to require that in the first place, much less all at once in otherwise rather strange situations?
