So, since today is Tawnyjay's birthday, I decided today was the perfect day to post the article I've been thinking about. Here I go.
I've noticed that in MLP:FiM, birthdays suck. Really the only birthday that didn't suck that we've seen was Gummy's birthday. I can't really talk about Cheerilee or Zecora, since their birthdays were only mentioned in passing, but all the other ones we've seen, SUCK. And I have three and a half examples to show this.
I'll start with the half, while although not technically a birthday, I still felt I should mention. This would be Diamon Tiara's cuteceniara (I hope I spelled that right). She throws an elaborate party to celebrate getting her cutie mark, when three blank flanks steal all the glory. She had been looking forward to this, and it was ruined for her.
Okay, on to actual birthdays. I'll start with Spike. It starts off pretty good. He gets a kiss from Rarity and a bunch of presents. Then his dragon side takes over and he becomes a giant greedy monster, almost destroying Ponyville. Sure, he learns a valuable lesson, but he nearly destroys a town. If it had gone any farther, he may have even killed Rarity.
Next, Twilight Sparkle. Sure, it had a happy ending, and SHE didn't realize the full extent of what happened, but Rarity forgot about Twilight's birthday, lied so that she wouldn't have to go to it, and never finished the dress she promised her. Twilight may have liked the dress, but let's be honest. IT WAS AWFUL. Plus, while dancing in it, she embaressed her self in front of the upper class of Canterlot.
On to the most obvious, Pinkie Pie. No one came to her party (I know it was because they were throwing a party for her, but bear with me), Spike told her that her friends hated her parties and didn't want to be her friends anymore, and she had a friggin' mental breakdown! She was talking to piles of rocks and bags of flour, serving them cake and talking for them. She did the eyes pointing in opposite directions, which, although a screencap of that was some of my first exposure to ponies, was still extremely creepy for a kids show.
I hope you all can now see why pony birthdays suck, and I hope you all enjoyed reading this.
P.S. Dear Tawnyjay, AquoMoon wanted me to wish you a happy birthday since he didn't get to while you were online...

"Well.. I guess I should get going" Ditto said, starting to leave.
"Wait.. One last favour sweetie... How would you feel about being the next captain?" Celestia asked.
".. What?" Ditto asked, a bit confused.
"As you may or may not being aware.. Shining Armour and his lovely wife are too busy with The Crystal Empire.. So the guards need a new leader. And they saw how skilled of a fighter you are.. So they want you" Celestia replied.
"Oh.. Well., Guess I could do that.. I mean.. Why not" Ditto replied.
"(kisses his cheek) Good boy.. Let me show you to your new office" Celestia said, and lead him further into the castle.
