So, I was wondering this: Should we make the use of the MLP category less? I mean, if it's Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy or whatever is the main character, you can add the MLP category. But in pasta series like Breath and Crimson Tales, ponies from the actual show usually get pushed to the side. And I don't really think expanding the list of MLP-categorized pasta series by over 9000 pages is too handy.

Second, here's something that happens... pretty usually in MLP-like pasta. (Maybe) Ponies who are supposed to be dead are back to life and some psychonies can't remember their allies or act like they never met anyone that is also a psychony. How come? Because of the Alternate Dimension/Time Trick. Or as I stick to call it: Time/Space Manipulating. Here's an example for both happenings.

If I want, say, Rainbow Dash to suddenly become a psychony alive and well without mentioning her being killed, I use the Time/Space Manipulation to:

A: Create a new parallel (if I spell that right) dimension where RD never got killed.

B: Create a timeline and go to the past.

If you read some of my pastas involving only Crimson (Crimson Tales: Introduction), Crimson was already home at that time while I wasn't finished with Crimson's Journey. This is another example of just skipping ahead to the future a bit and later fixing what should've happened first.

Now, this next example actually happened in the very first episode of Breath 2. Skyblack said:

"I HAVE NOTHING BUT ENEMIES!"

When Fluttershy died. Of course, he met with Crimson according to Breath: Crimson Darkness. But, that is yet another example of playing around with dimensions and time: Breath 2 takes place in a time/dimension where Sky and Crim never met.

But why am I talking about Rick's new amazing series? And why am I ranting about a method/trick that a lot of users probably know? It's because users can get confused or angry after reading pony X still lives after pony Y killed him/her. I actually got confused while reading the first episode of Breath 2. So, if you use the Space/Time Manipulation, please mention that you did it somewhere.
