Description hey guys! we are almost done putting together the stuff for the bronycon comic. we are gonna have another comic at the bronycon like last year and we were thinking that maybe some people who can't go to the bronycon (or those who can) would like some advertisement on it, you know, like an ad for your gallery or for your tumblr or if you make any kind of merch, anything. we will be selling ad space for $5 if someone is interested, just send me a note to discuss about it. (we screwed up big on this and now we only have until friday to do it, hurry up)

...

That doesn't make sense, would there be reverse psychology because Chrysalis used a mind control spell and trapped Cadence in the cage? THink about it, Chrysalis didn't want to go with Cadence...

SO CHRYSALIS MUST BE LYING AND SHE "IS" THE TRUE X! Because one comic stated they had been married by some random way before Shining and Cadence, therefore Chrysalis would have, bigomy being legal in Equestira, cheated on!

Firedon In reply to Dreams-hold-Ambition [2013-07-09 14:47:35 +0000 UTC]

But Shining is married to both Cadance AND Chrysalis, however her marriage is legal, while Cadance was married by Celestia, which is against the rules. So legally, Cadance is an ex and Shining was cheating on Chrysalis.

Dreams-hold-Ambition In reply to Firedon [2013-07-09 14:53:30 +0000 UTC]

You recall how Chrysalis was foiled by their love in the S2 finale?

What's to say Chrysalis could very well simply be lying in order to kill 2 birds with one stone as Cadence and Shining Armor were the reason her plan during the wedding failed. Also since Chrysalis isn't a Equestrian native as she's banished to the out-lands with her whole race. Plus Celestia being the ruler of Equestria having been the one to wed Cadence and Shining overules the Chrysalis and Shining marriage as Chrysalis is not a legal native of Equestria. If anything Chrysalis plotted this from the beginning and its HER marriage that's invalid and therefore SHE is the real ex and trying to get Cadence to kill kill herself and since she isn't the real ex Shining will still die.


So, how can you disprove this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Firedon In reply to Dreams-hold-Ambition [2013-07-10 08:44:28 +0000 UTC]

Simply. I'm not talking about feelings. I'm talking about the legal aspect of this conflict as presented in the comic. And in that, a wedding can't be performed by a member of the royal family, thus making Chrysalis his real wife(legally). Just because she's not an Equestrian citizen doesn't mean that she can't get married to one. Also, given the events of the comics, I doubt that Chrysalis is "banished" to the outlands, as she is wandering around Equestria without Celestia interfering.
So while there is no love on Shining's part, he is only married to Chrysalis and since Cadance was his girlfriend before he married Chrysalis, she'd be his last ex.
But I think we're seriously overthinking this right now.^^

One thing I'll point out.

Where in any of these comics was it said Cadence made him fall in love with her that way?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Firedon In reply to Dreams-hold-Ambition [2013-07-10 22:30:09 +0000 UTC]

I think it was hinted at in evergreen cafe, where Shining said that he mysteriously fell in love with her, even though he was going to propose to Aquarius.
I don't deny that that could have happened normally, but it's pretty suspicious.
Also, even if it did happen without her using her powers, the other exes don't really seem all that evil to me as well, so I'm willing to interpret that "evil" as just a thing for extra suspense.

Dreams-hold-Ambition In reply to Firedon [2013-07-10 22:32:48 +0000 UTC]

So how does that say anything? If you recall when she as with X #6 (Screw Loose) she said "did I do the right thing marrying him?" Sounds like a big hint to she didn't use her love magic. This is Twilight Sparkle's brother we're talking about. Twilight would have easily caught if Cadence used that spell on him having seen it often. And also, if their love was artificial then how'd they stop Chrysalis with their love.

Firedon In reply to Dreams-hold-Ambition [2013-07-11 01:18:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, the thing we should be able to agree on is that we're drifting off into some heavy speculation about how everything works, so I#ll give you a theory to the question of how it worked toward the end.
1. Her questioning her decision to marry him, doesn't mean that she didn't use her magic on him. Have you ever wanted something, but when you got it you found out it wasn't really what you thought it would be? In this case, it'd propably be his good look and seemingly good personality, but several mares that dated him telling her how terrible he was, she might have come to regret her choice.
2. I don't think that Twi would have really found out about it. I doubt that she gave him magical examinations and remember the wedding? Shining marrying Cadance came completely out of the blue for her, so she had no idea of their relationship.(Otherwise she propably would have asked him about Cadance, since she didn't recognize her full name)
Also, why would she assume that a spell was at work, even if she found out? She could have thought that her brother and her foalsitter, both of which she considers to be very nice people fell for each other because of their nice personalities. But again, I doubt that she knew. And her brother simply getting a girlfriend isn't that unusual either.(he had 6/7 after all)
3. Last but not least, my theory on the nature of the show's love(For this I'll assume that Cadance did charm him with magic):
Just because Cadance created that love, doesn't make it less real. Maybe she only provided the first boost of love, which helped Shining with falling for her, so the love he feels now is "genuine". And even if she had to refresh the love periodically, that doesn't mean that it couldn't be harnessed. For Shining, the love he feels is real. And that is all that matters. After all, if it didn't matter, then how would changelings work? The victim thinks that they love the individual they're with and as such, their love gives power to the changeling, even if the the actual object of their affection is elsewhere. They still think that it's real, just like Shining would if he were to be charmed, so I don't see a problem with using that love as a power.

(Hope everything's alright with what I wrote. It's getting quite late here ^^')

Chrys married Shiny the week before in some wild Vegas style night that ended in a Vegas wedding while Shiny was engaged to Caddy. He went ahead to marry Caddy almost forgetting he already married Chrys. They decided to deal since polygamy WAS legal and all. But now Chrys is pointing out that Caddy's wedding was invalid since she got a royal to marry her and Shiny. So Caddy and Shiny AREN'T legally married while Chrys and Shiny ARE. Since Caddy isn't his wife, she is his ex due to the fact that he DOES have a legal wife. So Caddy IS the last ex.XD

Except by marrying Cadence after and not being aware of his marriage with Chrysalis and ignoring her over Cadence. Cadence can't be an ex, and you need to remember how cruel Chrysalis has been shown in both the S2 finale and the first arc of the official comics.

Chrysalis very well could be lying to kill 2 birds with one stone as Cadence and Shining Armor were the reason her plan during the wedding failed. Also since Chrysalis isn't a Equestrian native as she's banished to the out-lands with her whole race. Plus Celestia being the ruler of Equestria having been the one to wed Cadence and Shining overules the Chrysalis and Shining marriage as Chrysalis is not a legal native of Equestria. If anything Chrysalis plotted this from the beginning and its HER marriage that's invalid and therefore SHE is the real ex and trying to get Cadence to kill kill herself and since she isn't the real ex Shining will still die.

And Shining DID forget he married her if you saw that comic.


Let me see you counter that information?

Pinksneasel In reply to Dreams-hold-Ambition [2013-07-09 17:59:57 +0000 UTC]

This is his comics, so what happened in the show is invalid.XD

Second, a wedding doesn't become invalid or open if you forget it happened, otherwise, Vegas weddings wouldn't count half the time. And since he WAS married to Chrys, he CAN'T legally just leave and say 'I married this mare instead, your my ex now'. He has to divorce Chrys for their marriage to be ended legally. And since he IS legally married to Chrys and not Caddy even thought he was engaged to Caddy first, he and Caddy's wedding WAS invalid as show by this new Celestia supported plot point that he decided to use. He MADE this law as a funny plot point in his comic, and he probably had it planned all along. You can't tell him what is or isn't right in HIS OWN DAMN COMIC.

Also, in what country(certainly not Equestria) is a wedding nullified because of the bride or groom's nationality? In fact, IN AMERICA, a foreigner can legally marry an American in order to avoid getting deported and to gain American citizenship. It's one of the most well known scams to gain citizenship. The government can't say your not married just because your wife is a Mexican.XD

And in case you forgot, this is his comic. He can do and make up whatever he wants. Your argue,net is invalid.XD

Pinksneasel In reply to Dreams-hold-Ambition [2013-07-09 19:02:44 +0000 UTC]

Speculation is rudely that: Speculation. We are talking about the facts of the comic, not random theories. I could theorize that the sun will rise in the west and that it will rain Chocolate Rain tomorrow, but that doesn't make my argument valid when I'm discussing actual weather patterns with meteorologists. Theories and random speculation is fine, but only matter to you or to other people that want to humor your ideas. It is only valid to you and them, but not to the artists plans for his own comics or to people who pay attention to the FACTS presented by the comic.

The very fact that your theories about the comic go AGAINST what is presented by it makes your arguments concerning it invalid. Nobody cares about your speculations and they most likely won't be true since you're not making this comic.

So argument INVALID.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dreams-hold-Ambition In reply to Pinksneasel [2013-07-09 19:07:47 +0000 UTC]

One loophole there. Its a theory "I" made.

Theories don't need solely facts and can also add a possibility the facts can't show themselves. Your argument is against a theory I made overall. Facts maybe shown in the comic, but since this comic is part of a series, so you also have to include facts from those comics and not just this one. Also what you see isn't always what's there, I've seen comics that blow the facts we see on one page away completely on the page after it.

So even if they aren't true its my overall theory and idea, true or not I still have the right to speculate. And overall with what's been shown in all of the other comics and what things we can apply overall form them and how we know this character even if they are a bit OOC, stating this is invalid simply because it doesn't follow the facts of the comic is counter that counters itself overall since this is a theory.

So argument... VALID!

Were ANY of the Exes truly 'evil'? Can you really say whether or not Cadance was just as good or bad as any of them? And besides, Cadance was the one who hunted down 6 mares that had moved on with their lives and did nothing to her and encased each one in crystal. Would you not call that 'evil'?

Dreams-hold-Ambition In reply to Pinksneasel [2013-07-09 19:23:03 +0000 UTC]

Well there's one point here. They were considered evil before Cadence even put Aquarius in crystal, and all of the comics with Shining and Cadence, even when Chrysalis was present, Cadence did not commit any evil actions!

So overall, considering the words Chrysalis used, the fact she didn't go with Cadence to take them out, and told Cadence once she had come back exhaused...

(In Phoenix Wright style) Chrysalis very easily could have used her meeting saying she had been married to Shining Armor as a masquerade for an elaborate this whole time!
