Talk:On Your Marks/@comment-10390252-20160409161043

Okay, setting aside my preconceptions, that was a cute little story that actually addressed almost like a list all of the objections to the Crusaders' destiny raised in the aftermath of Crusaders of the Lost Mark. Dave did a good point in showing how these interests are actually dividing influences between the Crusaders and that they can only be really happy together if they learn to subsume those skills into their broader talents for helping other ponies.

Now... tell me this, Apple Bloom. Did you find dancing fun because it was fun... or was it fun because it involved doing stuff with Tender Taps? Yes, I'm shipping them; I was shipping them from the moment we saw him hiding in the corner. I also suspect that, the minute Sweetie Belle gets a hint of this, she'll be a worse Yenta than Rarity ever was!

So, overall, once I clear my mind and look at it objectively, this is a solid 8/10.
