Like, full time. Why would they be involved with Cadance in any way? Why would they be chosen for that? I asked these questions because they bother me in the stupidest way possible.<\/p>\n<p>This really happens all the time. They have background ponies they just throw into shots, in locations that aren&#8217;t Ponyville, and I just have to wonder why the hell they&#8217;re there. It just doesn&#8217;t make any sense for all of Ponyville to follow the Mane 6 about on their adventures. Berry Punch, Golden Harvest&#8230; why does Pinkie Pie imagine them as floozies specifically in her little story in MMMMystery on the Friendship Express? I just want to know why!<\/p>\n<p>I guess it&#8217;s me being too english-major-y and whatnot to expect their to be reasons behind this. But it just seems like it&#8217;s incredibly easy to make a &#8220;new pony.&#8221; You just pick some colors and draw a random cutie mark. We&#8217;ve seen cutie marks so ridiculous that you could really draw about anything, and then it&#8217;s a new nameless background pony. Why not do that when the cast is in Canterlot, and leave the Ponyville background regulars to Ponyville, you know?<\/p>\n<p>It takes me out of the show. About cartoon ponies learning lessons about friendship. So, you know. Fix that, Hasbro.<\/p>\n<p>(I am so lame.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a thing that I point out like every single time I watch ponyshow and is really so stupid and says a lot about my level of obsession.
