Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

One does not simply say any mane 6 is worst pony.
You and ponyGAF have a lot to learn about each other.
Take it slow, at first, lest you trip over all the "Celestia/Luna/RD/Twilight/Lyra/Derpy DEFENSE FORCE" encampments scattered about.

None of those characters need a defense force except Celestia, who is continuously bombarded with slander.

Applejack is worst pony.
Did someone say Luna Defense Force? Who dares to...
Eh, DrForester is right, she doesn't need one. The Princess of the Night can take care of herself. Besides, we know she's not evil, because we've already seen her evil side. It got harmony'd.
Tyrant-sun goddess Celestia could use a good harmonying. No doubt her innate evil kept her from using the elements of harmony herself.
It is interesting why she can't anymore. Maybe you need at least two ponies embodying half of the elements each to use them? So, which three did Celestia have?

Show indicated she used all 6 to defeat NMM the first time, I've always thought that she could have used them again to defeat NMM again, but that would not have gotten Luna back. We saw the the elements only defeated NMM, but Luna herself had to accept forgiveness and humility. Celestia handing her flank to her again probably would have just made her more bitter. Celestia wanted her sister back, so she gave up the elements so someone else could defeat her.
I thought it was kind of implied that Celestia lost the elements a long time ago. Possibly even after having to use them against her own sister. That had to be a real kick in the Loyalty, Laughter, and Kindness, at least. I mean, the physical representations of the elements had turned into stones that were kept in a very decrepit castle in the middle of the Everfree forest. Whereas the repowered elements of Harmony are kept in a locked vault in Canterlot. Which, by the way, kind of backfired on them. Twice. Maybe another solution needs to be found...
Now, if the elements are that powerful one would think that if Celestia could use them, she'd have them in that vault for quick access. But she didn't. Instead she did the only thing she could have, attempt to repower the elements with a new spark of friendship. Which is where Twilight Sparkle and Celestia's mad gamble comes in. So many things could have gone wrong with that, but Celestia trusted her student to get it right, even if Celestia had to be really cryptic about it so she wouldn't contaminate any friendships that were formed. They had to be genuine, not just some goal for Twilight, otherwise, the elements wouldn't trigger at all.
It really was a pretty desperate plan, but it paid off, in spades. Not only did she get her sister back, but when discord returned, well, the Mane Six were sort of ready to face him.
Someone should probably teach Twilight a spell to summon the elements for extreme emergencies, though...

Celestia's wording in Return of Harmony indicates she didn't lose her connection to them until Twilgiht and co. got them. And they had to work to get them, just giving them to the 6 should have been cheap. It's like the Gryffindor sword in Harry Potter, you can store it, but it will go where it's needed.

"smile" is boring a hole in my brain. I don't understand what's happening.
So I ended up downloading Colors 3D to see if it could help me draw better, ended up making this in a few hours (based on Friendship is Witchcraft):
It's easier than just drawing for sure, but I wish there were more than 5 layers. It's also weird drawing on the 3DS screen, it's so slippery(?) and fast.

I'm pretty sure the elements are immobile. Otherwise, the whole changeling thing would have been over much quicker. Princess Celestia was knocked out and all six element wielders were in the same room? If the elements could move, they would have there. But the Mane Six had to go get them themselves.
Celestia losing the elements could also simply have been a gradual thing. The one element that keeps them all together is Magic/Friendship. So... what happens if the sole wielder becomes distant and loses her friends... possibly just to time? Sure, Celestia has magic to spare, but friendship? Not so much. She's the goddess-ruler of the world, more or less. You don't get many true friends in that kind of position of power. A lot of ponies want to stay friendly with you, yes, but actual friendship? That's a problem. So, maybe Celestia did still have Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and Loyalty, she has shown all of these traits during the first two seasons, but she lost the spark a long, long time ago.
Which actually would explain why Magic didn't even have a stone, it was just... gone. Twilight pooled her own magic with the magic of friendship and made the last element reappear, but in a new form. The Magic of Friendship instead of just power magic power. That's why the elements cured Luna rather than banish her again. It was a similar, but different spell. One Celestia herself couldn't do.
And yes, I am aware we're discussing magic superweapons for ponies right now.
Why is it so hard to make toys that look like the show.
The fans, using store bought material, has made shit that puts Hasbro to immense shame.
I think they have gotten so used to decades of little girls buying anything they make that they dont see the point in actually making decent toys.
They look like Chinese knock offs, but they dont care cuz the millions of little girls will buy them anyway.
The hair kills it for me. They went all out to get everything else to at least look somewhat like the show, and then they ruined it with the hair for some reason.

Because it's more expensive to make them look more show accurate. The fanmade ones are done by hand whereas the hasbro ones are mass manufactured off shore. Also, little girls (their target demographic) don't care if the dolls don't look perfectly like the show characters (imagination and all that jazz).

For those wondering, it's a newish tumblr which features Vinyl Scratch and Octavia as an octopus - not the real Octavia - thanks to Twilight's spell.

These are but a prelude.

It's Friday. I've believed enough for one week.
It's all about skeptical mistrusting now.
You have to be lucky to get Tara Strong, but you have to have swag to get lucky.
and, Tara has to be drunk.
I heard she was drunk.
I REALLY wish I coulda gone to Bronycon this year...
wat.
isn't she married? And also, wat? If Bronycons are going to be like this...maybe, i dunno. I dunno...
I am ready to grind with some Goddess group cosplayers.
(why aren't they making money taking pictures at cons yet? for um...charity. yeah. charity. Save Apple Acres...or something. >_>)
anyway, now we know how Twililicious would act while drunk at a party.
