Good day hoofponies,
Today, it is time to admire the holy ponies of Equestria.
First up is Twilight Sparkle:
Seen here, Twilight Sparkle is honored with her own stained-glass portrait. Note that this is not Princess Twilight Sparkle, but rather simply Twilight Sparkle. It is curious that the artist would have been inspired to create this image before Twilight Sparkle became a princess, is it not? Well, not really, since most of the pony fandom agreed that Twilight Sparkle should not have been made into a princess (she was already a princess just for being the bookhorse that she was). This portrait honors that. It also respects Lauren Faust’s vision for Twilight Sparkle because if I recall correctly, while Lauren Faust did want Twilight Sparkle to one day become a princess, she wanted to wait for the show finale. (And as an aside, I would say that it also doesn’t make any sense as to why she needed to grow wings in order to become a princess. For example, if she was the pony to revolutionize the social systems in Equestria, wouldn’t it have made more sense for her to have been the first ruler without wings?)
While the original video honoring Twilight Sparkle’s bookhorseness was deleted for an unknown reason, the YouTube channel, “Deleted Pony Songs,” which contains a collection of deleted pony songs, kept a copy of the song. Even so, the original song had a music video with it.
After a brief YouTube search, I was able to find the original song and music video (except with Spanish subtitles added to it) which you can find below.
Note: I recently discovered that the song is a cover of another popular song. (If you know which one, consider commenting below.)
Bookhorse deserves our praise and recognition because she:
- Makes plans and follows through.
- Casts spells.
- Goes to school.
- Values friends over experiences.
- Saved us from eternal night.
- Doesn’t give a buck.
- Reads many boring books.
- Is a mare.
- Studies a lot.
Praise be.
