Also... SCP Nickname: The Chaos Crystal Item #: 1827 Class: Keter Containment procedures: No containment procedures exist for this specific crystal yet. Speculation has been made that it can be contained much in the same manner as the Crystal Heart. First finding a magically resilient live catalyst would be required to become the vassal of the crystal's power. At which point, attuning with its specific emotional whims would pacify it to the point of hooves-on handling. Description: A quick sketch was made by surviving agent ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓, a member of the first and only team to come into contact with the crystal deep below the surface of the Everfree Forest. The other agents were vaporized within seconds of entering the resting chamber of the crystal. The sketch shows the crystal to be approx. 3 ponies tall, and the air around it to be a chaotic mixture of elements. Reference: Magical Crystals of this size and nature have the capability for huge amounts of destructive power. Referencing the passive Crystal Heart again, a magic crystal capable of restoring life and power to an entire kingdom when powered with its attuned emotion - the calculated power of a crystal so much larger is immeasurable. It is speculated that there is only one crystal of this type, as each magical crystal of this level has so far been unique. Being in the wild - being outside of control and containment - this crystal poses a constant threat to Equestria. Rather, the whole world.
In this game you put something in the vending machine and the pony below tells you what you recieve. Example: Pony 1: I put in a pancake Pony 2: You get breakfast! I put in a strawberry Pony 3: You get strawberry cake! I put in <something> etc. So, I start! I put in a banana!
You get a meme I put in a jar that has my accomplishments and happy moments written on pieces of paper in it this year.
And that translates into me being arrogant enough to think that the writers would need my help... how? If you're going to insinuate passive-aggressive ad hominems, rationalize it properly. And your logic is fallacious, besides. My standards are hardly exclusive, based on concepts any writer (who call themselves one) should know in order to do what they do well. There are very few acceptable excuses for poor performances (like time constraints, and backseat drivers with more authority over the content, among other things), and the demographic -- I feel I must add -- is not one of them. For the record, I am not entirely convinced that they're strictly bad writers; good writers can produce bad material for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they don't take it seriously enough because of the demographic, even though that hasn't stopped plenty of other cartoons aimed toward children from doing it. Maybe they don't actually care enough about the show, or get paid enough, to put more than the required effort into it, or all that matters to them is doing enough to earn their income (whatever it may be). In the end, I've seen better from this show, from silly and serious episodes alike, so -- by and large -- much of my standards are based on the past performances of the show itself, in tandem with the skills and knowledge any decent writer should know. And if a finale isn't a good time for a writer to do their best, then when is it? That's not to say that none of my criticism stems from personal opinion. I thought Chrysalis had the most potential to be the best villain in the show thus far (for the reasons stated before), but it looks like uncomplicated, uninspired, and/or stereotypical villains is going to be this show's standard. Which is something that I'll just have to resign myself into accepting.
