1) Uh… Am I supposed to?
2) If all I did was eat, sleep, and pee I wouldn’t have been a very useful commodity, now would I?
3) Despite having the power to defeat Twilight and all her friends all at once, Nightmare Moon opted to go the indirect, subtle route and use traps and tricks. In doing so she inadvertently granted Twilight the means to win by giving her the chance to realize what the sixth element was and the opportunity to reach the Elements of Harmony.
Let’s not waste any time on how badly Chrysalis kicked the proverbial dog into the reinforcement warehouse.
4) It’s in the queue. I’m elsewhere at the moment.
5) No comment at this time.
6) Seduction is just one of the many forms of deception. But not one I’m very good at.
7) An interesting proposal, but ultimately one I will not be considering. You make a decent argument, but I just have no intention of changing my tumblr address.
Would you being the Element of Deception make you Applejack's mortal enemy then?

I don’t think so.
If I somehow embodied such a concept, to remain in harmony I’d have to use it appropriately, right?
It’s a differing tactic, and yes, it conflicts at it’s core. But only if used incorrectly. The same can be said with honesty. Even Applejack has secrets.
Yeah, in retrospect it seems lik the kid probably has some sort of emotional issue he needs to sort out, so I suppose me calling him a jerk comes off as callous, but I hope things can get sorted out. Also I was trying to think of an original Element to file you under, so I hope you can forgive the cop out one I thunk up.

Considering everything I’ve done in my life, the element of deception would probably work best.
And that’s not some self-loathing garbage either. We all have to lie a little, to ourselves and others, to spare their feelings, or get through the day.
It’ll never be a popular opinion, because it’s so easy to take things too far. But deception is just as important to harmony as honesty.
All things in balance.
