I will admit, I do not understand the Bronie thing in the slightest. it baffles me.Have you watched the show? If not, doing so may help grant a bit of understanding.
No, and to be honest, I can't imagine myself ever sitting down to watch a children's cartoon featuring My Little Ponies. It's just not going to ever happen.

I'm not judging it. Just saying I am baffled by it. I am not going to watch it because cutesy cartoon ponies gushing about friendship is so far down on my list of things I ever want to put in my brain that I think it ranks below Goatse just a tad. Just saying that it is incomprehensible to me how this whole thing came about. It's like thousands of straight young men all of a sudden decided to get really, really into Carebears. I just don't get it, is all.
I just don't get it, is all.Well, don't complain about not getting it if you haven't tried to get it. That's all we're saying.
I would be more interested in hearing someone explain what the appeal is for them than attempt to discern it for myself.It is a well-written, very funny show, that just happens to have a lesson at the end of every episode (no gushing). That is the general appeal.
The show actually deals with some serious issues, sometimes.What sold my brother was that they had to deal with a fuckin' manticore in the second part of the first episode.
And because Spike is the most adorable dragon EVER. *pinches his cheek*
Hay, they even dealt with freaking racism in an early episode (Hello Zecora, my love <3) and handled it WELL.

That's another thing. The main characters aren't immune to flaws, but unlike other kid's shows, they didn't force the flaws on the characters in a way that made them out of character. They made it scarily natural.
Zecora is an awesome character and needs another episode dedicated to her. I also like how they are keeping something of a continuity with the plot, as one episode led her to briefly believe that perhaps the other ponies had become scared of her again.

Zecora has canon voodoo. I want to see how that meshes with Equestrian magic in general. I can totally see Luna and Zecora enjoying tea and playing chess while they talk shop.

I've only seen a few episodes on youtube (it really is a better show than it sounds with my favorite being AppleJack ;D), so what are some good episodes to look up and watch?Ooh, Applejack fan. She hasn't been getting much focus lately, unfortunately. Only really having major roles in the ensemble episodes. Of course, maybe that's because she is already such a good friend that she doesn't have many lessons left to learn. ;)
The upcoming Applejack episodes I'm sure are gonna be sweet n' all, but personally I'm preparing my body for the Pinkie Pie episode! :)

You know, I still remember that post you made in the original thread saying you didn't like ponies. If I recall correctly (and this would only be thanks to the dynamic nature of signatures), by the time I read that post, you had the Pony Countdown in your sig. XD
Slightly off topic: The spoiler button is a nuclear symbol? Well that's certainly interesting. XD
*bro-hooves Dakota* Now if only we can convince Notch... He's still not into the show yet.

To be fair, only the Mane Six are supposed to write letters. And none of them were even really a part of this episode to learn a lesson about friendship.

I'm pretty sure Apple Bloom's written letters before, though.

No, I'm pretty sure she hasn't. When she formed the CMC, that was Twilight. Both "Stare Master" and "The Show Stoppers" only had implied letters from Twilight, and "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" was another Twilight letter, in which spike lampshades the mushiness.
Technically, Apple Bloom did write a letter in this episode. However, that was only the forgery she made with the help of the other CMC. Y'know, the one she used to try to trick Granny Smith to leave town with.

Which one-time characters would you like to see return? I'd like Steven Magnet ("water serpent"?), but I heard Glinda and Trixie have their fans.
Trixie and Discord
Trixie and Discord
What I would love is to see what Discord's past with the Princesses' was like with his other reign of chaos.
You should see the amount of DisLestia fics we get...

That... sounds remarkably fun.

Did anyone else get creeped out when they invoked the Horror atmosphere?
When Mr Cake was explaining how two Earth Ponies could end up with a pegasus and a unicorn as children, and then finished with "....That makes sense, right??" I think I almost chocked on my drink, hooray for sneaking in naughty jokes! ;D

Yeah, in a "Fuck yeah this show is awesome!" kind of way.
I saw that one too. BTW: I belong to the camp of bronies that believe that Fluttershy has some Earth pony in her.

Sounds pretty reasonable. I'm sure the other characters have different blood in them. It's pretty much inevitable.

If you can justify it in the story with enough to back up WHY? Odds are good we'd take it simply for the sheer uniqueness of it.

"It's magic"
Or incomplete dominance.
Another option I was thinking was to give it archaeopteryx-like wings
Although it's possible that the genes for horns and wins are polygenic, like albinism in mice.

Scootaloo really needs her own episode. :(

Ah, memories... I grew up with this. Good times.
From what I heard a lot of characters were copyrighted.
Still, they could just make a parody or homage character and call it that.

AAAAGH! Death and fire from the sky! Run for your lives because death has come! Hiding is useless for they will find you with their huge and adorable eyes! And then they eat you.
Am I the only one that thought actually playing that could make Fluttershy the scariest thing out there. I mean the constant “yayâ€Âs alone would haunt my dreams. Almost ranks up there with the Miniblins’ “Dek dek dek†from Wind Waker.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCP9Jn2Q0cQ

Yay~
B: This ISN'T the first spoiler we've posted. Seth DOES warn that hey, spoilers for the episode, don't watch the linked vids if you don't WANT the spoiler.

Ditto...I still have my ponies from when I was a wee little girl. :D
So I'm working on a shipping fanfic that involves Pinkie Pie and Rarity, and takes place right after the end of today's episode. The only thing is, a part of me wants to turn this into clopfiction, while another part of me wants to keep it clean enough to be able to be posted onto EqD. Is it possible to take a third option, wherein I have two different versions, or even an "alternate ending" that turns into clopfiction or something? I...uh...I'd like some advice.
Oh, and I was hoping maybe I could find someone to help edit my story/stories.
The best fics are the ones where you don't realize there IS a clop version, and it doesn't detract from the main body of the work by having the clop not included.

Fair enough. I now have a question. According to submission guidelines, the story should be at least 2500 words. I've hit what could easily be a conclusion at 1300 or so. So I have two questions.
1. How strict is the minimum word requirement? I mean, I can add to my story and do my best to not make it suck, but I'd practically have to double it, and I'm not in the business of making things unnecessarily wordy just to pad my story's length.
2. Would a one part story be able to include a kind of self-contained epilogue if I though I had reached a conclusion early? I suppose it could, but unless I change up the last bit, I can't see any way to really do this without a time skip from...maybe the next morning when they finally are able to get a train back to Ponyville, or when they actually arrive. I suppose if I were a more experienced writer, I'd be able to figure out what to do for myself without asking. Also, I suppose typing here is a way for me to turn options over in my head for how to continue/extend this story without the quality suffering.

To your first, the fic has to be MIND-BLOWINGLY good to be under the word count, especially that far. If it's that low, odds are good we'll tell you to post it to FIM Fiction or something. Equestria Daily is a double-edged sword with our requirements. The reason we have such a high minimum word count is because any fic that meets that mark is generally pretty damned good (though we've had exceptions...) and to try and keep the flood of fic down (which doesn't help, surprisingly).
The second... you can have the epilogue, and it might add several hundred words to your word count, but admittedly, it wouldn't hurt either way.
Anything else? :3
Pinkie's dad as a homophobe has been done to death. I'd suggest an alternate characterization than that.
2436 words? we're willing to let that slide, if it's good enough. good on you for submitting it to an editor. I'd like to see it when you get it back.
From what I heard a lot of characters were copyrighted.
Still, they could just make a parody or homage character and call it that.
Unfortunately, I don't think they CAN, according to Faust (so I've heard) and Thiessen (at BroNYcon September). It edges too close in terms of characterization to qualify as fair use or even an homage.
I'm well aware of Discord shipping fics, I've read most of them. ;D
I just thought shipping between badass villian from G1 with the princess goddess from G4 would be an awesome idea, especially if there is some sort demon spawn that is the end result of it.

Requesting you e-mail it to me after that edit pass, B. You have me intrigued, which doesn't happen often.
Kkat and Fo:E can both burn as far as we pre-readers are concerned. We're regretting ever allowing that to go up in the first place.Curious Inquiry: May I ask why?
So I just axed the homophobia part in favor of Pinkie Pie having doubts about being worthy of Rarity's love. Rarity then basically reveals that if fate hadn't stepped in to solidify her fashionista career, she was considering becoming a chef, and as such, she envies Pinkie somewhat. She still loves her fashonista business, but she has a "what could have been" feeling about her path in life.
In short, she talks about how amazing she thinks Pinkie is for being able to do something she once considered. Yeah, my explanation may sound a bit muddy. I know. I just wanted to let you guys know what I tried changing things to.
I'm getting another editor to read through it right now. :D

Now THAT sounds like a good read, B. That's what we like to see from authors, rather than "Fix A, B, and C, and it's good to go" and then never hearing from them again.
We've gotten buckets of 'rainboom fail' fics, unfortunately... if you're not doing something different with it, we'll reject it.
And you're over 2500! that's good! Veddy good!
Hey, don't give up on it. You might come up with something we haven't seen, eventually. Right now... there's at least five 'rainboom fails' fics I can think of on EqD off the top of my head.

Word count's feasible, you leave the detail work to we pre-readers.
And I may bow out of pre-reading it, as I've been helping you (therefore bias), so somepony else will probably pick it up. Shipping... probably Snarkle, Mech, Hidden... possibly Cray. Kits won't touch it, since his OTP is Pinkiedash...
Straight from the pre-reader IRC, lucky pony! Siraj is yours truly, kits is one of our legendary pre-readers.
[13:37] <~Siraj> ... anypony taken a look at 'New Horizons' in the queue?
[13:40] <~Siraj> I really tried to help him... but it looks like it desperately needs a ponychan and the omnibus, doesn't it?
[13:43] <@kits[work]> i'll look real quick
[13:44] <@kits[work]> yeah
[13:44] <@kits[work]> um
[13:44] <@kits[work]> does this go into history?
[13:44] <@kits[work]> like a nice flashback?
[13:45] <~Siraj> the fic? nope
[13:45] <@kits[work]> yeah. this is pretty much not suitable as it's own story ATM
[13:46] <@kits[work]> if this was the CONCLUSION of a story line following these two through several days/episodes with some build up, it could work
[13:46] <@kits[work]> Like, show Pinkie falling for Rarity
[13:47] <@kits[work]> As it stands now, it's suddenly PinkieKisses (not a bad thing, just not EqD-able)
[13:47] <@kits[work]> the OTHER thing that couls be done
[13:48] <@kits[work]> is to flash FORWARD and make this the 'beginning of the relationship scene'
[13:48] <@kits[work]> and show their relationship in a slice-of-lifey manner
okay, in order...
1. Yes, expand on it. It moves too quickly, and it's what we call a 'February fic', that is "I have a crush on somepony but I can't tell them and then when I tell them it's requitted so it's all okay now".
2. You don't HAVE to craft a second document. We've gotten 6 and 7 K stories, all the way up to 23 K before. A couple thousand more words might make all the difference.
3. Kits read it, I read it, and a couple of the others took a peek. Generally, we skim, unless the story draws us in, or we see something on the skim that makes us stop and go "wait, this needs to be fixed."
4. As pre-readers, we DO have auto-post privileges. Here's the funny thing though: None of us have EVER used them. We hold each other to a higher standard. One of our guys went through 48 revisions of his first chapter alone, and had scrapped it twice, before it was post-worthy. We will buck the hay out of each other's work to make damn sure it's GOOD work.
Yeah, just build on what you have. It's too short and too fast, really, that's about your only issue as it stands.
vital suggestion: change the permissions to 'anyone that has the link'. We've had trolls previously pop into stories and nuke 78 pages of work over the last two months while the author was asleep or away from the computer.
We don't comment on fics except when we're doing something funny amongst ourselves. We do all our discussion in the IRC and e-mail threads.
Will do and have done. They now have warm fuzzies.
Good, good, I no longer have edit access according to Google. You're golden. So, before I go off to do laundry, all I suggest is that you build up and have some backstory on when and why Pinkie fell in love with Rarity. We need more than "I really like you" "I really like you too, but I was afraid to admit it" and end.
Good luck with the fic, but to me Rarity and Pinkie Pie seems a bit weird.
That's a reply from Seth and/or Cereal, all right... Ponychan is your best bet. You fix it up first, throw it there, and once they give it a pass, re-sub.

Fair enough. I do have on question though. What's "talking at the reader" and how is this fixable. Maybe it was discussed in the Omnibus, but I read it at like...3 or 4 in the morning, and had to be up early today.
Good luck with the fic, but to me Rarity and Pinkie Pie seems a bit weird.Dude, almost all shipping for this show seems weird to me. It's so... innocent, I rarely think of icky romance. *E13 has regressed to the mind set of a 9 year old).
I think your flashbacks will be fine.
Also, I ship Twinkie, Fluttarity and Appledash.
I blame a fellow pony author, Gabriel LaVedier (if you've read any of the Bad Apple series of stories, that's him) for getting me hooked on Twinkie. Twilight having a pet name for Pinkie of 'My little cookbook' gave me diabetes. Again.
Fluttarity? Hello, weekly spa dates?
Appledash... ... I should hope that one's obvious.

Ok, I have a question for everypony here, who would you like to see do a guest voice on the show??George Takei. Because he's been doing a lot of voice work lately anyway, and is quite obviously the most awesome man alive.

So the President is fielding questions on YouTube to be addressed live from the White House on the 30th. Naturally, several people have asked about FiM.
Now, I realize that there's a lot of important issues out there besides FiM for our Prezzy to address. Regardless, I still think it would be fucking awesome if he answered at least a single question about whether he or his kids watch the show. Actually, I think the Internet would fucking implode.

There's so much to trope about! The vaudeville boys Hoisted By Their Own Petard because they agreed to let the "honorary family" help out. Also, the very idea that they are considered honorary family in the first place is kinda heartwarming.
Also, I can so totally see Rainbow Mac fics coming out of this.
So I just got done watching 8 episodes of season 1 of MLP:MIF. While I think the show is witty, sarcastic, colorful, etc. I don't think I would become a diehard fan of the show. I mean, it's a good show and I'm not hating on it, I just don't see what the hype is.

There's already an Epic Cupcake Time 2 in the works, according to the creator back at BroNYcon January...I'm just impressed at the animation & voice quality. It's... eerily similar.
Never having foals... couldn't pay me enough... okay, with one exception... *glances at L and grins*
I just watched all of season one and up to episode 15 on Youtube and I gotta say this show is starting to get to me. It reminds me a lot of the Powerpuff Girls in a lot of ways.

This is probably due to Craig McCracken (creator of the Powerpuff Girls) and Lauren Faust (brains behind Friendship is Magic) being married.
Also, apparently Dirk is a Rainbow Dash fan (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006427). This means my two current favourite things in the world have now crossed together, and this is unbelieveably exciting to me. (She IS so spunky. <3 )

Does Hasbro show episodes on their websites? Episode 16 is coming out tomorrow and Youtube has been cracking down on MLP videos so it's going to be hard to find the next episode. Or does anyone know of any sites that host videos of new shows?

A friend made it for me, technically yes it is still a colt. It's my MLP persona.

I agree that the episode was a bit predictable and formulaic but the cat burglar outfit really made my day.
Two squeaky smiles. Loved that.
Also a big fan of the Rainbow Dash burgling outfit.
“Screwy†pony was pretty funny, too.
It's also especially funny in the whole "MLP is Ableist!" drama.Somehow, I didn’t think of that. Maybe because I have been staying out of the drama.
How the hell did the episode make MLP ableist? I didn't get a single vibe of that.
I too liked the burglar suit.
Oh, I thought you meant Read It and Weep. I thought they made Derpy that way because she was famous among the fandom as Derpy, and it suited her name.
So here's a question with no clear answer. How much of the story was RD's imagination, and how much was part of the book? I mean, there's a combo, but how much of each is unclear. :P
Well, I'm glad for that, at least. :) As for the macros, I think there was a point where I had posted more of them than I did actual text. But I won't derail you guys. ;)
It's a great show because:
- it doesn't bludgeon you over the head with its lessons, nor are the lessons the primary focus
- it doesn't treat the target demographic like a bunch of idiots. It's a girls' show whose characters don't primarily focus on boys and fashion. (Rarity, the cast's executive-insisted fashionista, is much more a creator than a follower. She's an artist whose medium just happens to be clothing.)
- the characters aren't one-dimensional
- it has some really cute art and character designs
- it's actually pretty funny
- the voicework is excellent, especially the singing voices. And anything that regularly features the voice talents of Tara Strong can't be all bad.
- Oh my crap, are those songs earworms.
- Lauren Faust already knows her way around making good cartoons, being the wife of Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)
- the creators listen to and interact with their fans, and acknowledge the periphery demographic
- it's not godawful like the '80s series. It's a reboot/relaunch/reinvention/remake done right.

Last Roundup. People got bitchy at Hasbro for making Derpy... well, Derpy. Suddenly it's a 'take that' against the retarded and somehow ableist.
No, I don't get it either. As one of the other pre-readers put it on his blog post: This is why we can't have nice things."

I don't see how it's in any way ableist to make a pony who is clumsy. That's the only impression I got of Derpy: a well-meaning, clumsy pony.
Also, since pony avatars and posting pony in other boards is likely to cause trouble: if you have OC ponies, why not post a (reasonably-sized) image in this thread somewhere? :3 That way we can show off our horrifying abominations (http://ongaru.deviantart.com/art/OC-Pony-Zena-264738288) without annoying the non-bronies.

Last Roundup. People got bitchy at Hasbro for making Derpy... well, Derpy. Suddenly it's a 'take that' against the retarded and somehow ableist.How being ditzy is the same as being mentally ill, I don’t know.
- Derpy is a ditzy and klutzy character
- Therefore, Derpy is supposed to be mentally retarded.
- Derpy’s mental illness is played for laughs.
- Therefore, My Little Pony is making fun of people who are mentally ill.
- Anyone who makes fun of the mentally ill is ableist.
- Therefore, My Little Pony is ableist.
I look forward to the day I can post a response macro, like every other fandom does, and not have to try and ignore three, four, or five posts of "fucking bronies, leave that shit at the door." S'all I'm saying.Oh, ye gods, is this all I want as well.
Thirding what Art said, although I'm still tempted to try to turn the tables and derail this thread. ;)
That said, I'm curious about where the Pony hype is coming from. What is it about the show that's made it so popular? I don't at all mean this in a disparaging away, I'm simply curious about what it is that has gotten so many people this excited about the show. Whenever I've seen bits of it, it always just seemed like a typical child's cartoon, but perhaps there's something I've missed due to my admittedly limited exposure to the show. So... what draws you guys to it?
/me being nosy.

Why do I like the show? Well, there's quite a combination of factors.
The girls each have distinct and unique personalities.The show isn't afraid to be cartoony/zany at times.
- Each personality plays off of another, and the show derives a decent portion of its humor from this
- The personalities are diverse and realistic enough that you're very likely to associate with at least one of the ponies.
- Even when you don't normally associate with a pony, the writers put the ponies in enough situations in which you're likely to associate with a character you otherwise normally wouldn't
- The voice actors really help to bring the characters alive.
- Although it's not canon, the fanfic writers will flesh out background ponies or ponies that get less screentime
- Many of the people working on this cartoon are used to working on cartoons without a girly stigma or history.
- Slapstick knows no gender.
Meh, this list could be longer, and maybe I'll elaborate more later. The point is that this cartoon isn't afraid to have fun. Oh yeah, and the show isn't afraid to engage in adventure from time to time, and does it surprisingly well. Hasbro owns the rights to D&D, so they've got pretty free reign on the monsters that appear in the show. Hell, they own Wizards of the Coast I think. That also means they own Magic: The Gathering.
The personalities are diverse and realistic enough that you're very likely to associate with at least one of the ponies.Why do you think I’m a Fluttershy-guy? I just wish I had the Stare.

I'm willing to do what I've had to do in every fucking forum I go to - not participate in spreading my fandom like EVERYONE ELSE - but change our avatars? Seriously? Our fucking avatars? That's self-censoring I will not abide by. This is the fucking FUNDIES forum, and I will not be pushed around on it because some people don't like a kid's show. They have a right to ask I not put pony-related material in other threads, but they have no right whatsoever to regulate my avatar because it makes them "uncomfortable".
Even something awful, which has banned ALL pony discussion, even their own threads, allows pony-related avatars. Just saying.
Wait, is there a site where we can just make ponies for the lulz?

The thing is that I'm laying low for while with the avatar, because in my opinion, it seems some obnoxious bronies on here decided that they were going push buttons, and I still have a feeling there's a few on here who really hate all bronies on the actions of a few, go look at the F & B thread, I mean mentioning MLP as every other thing you hate in a post gives off that vibe, just sayin'. And as I mention in another post in this thread, I don't want to be hated. This is a quirk that I have, I hate having people be upset at me, especially for dumbass shit that I have no control over.
BTW: Here's my pony that I created

I apologize if I'm coming off as somewhat of a drama queen, I don't mean to. I'm just not all that comfortable with having a pony avatar right now(I'll probably have one back up within a week).

Example:
Someone posts an image that says “Woohoo! The Above Poster Rocks!” Now, if this image included a picture of Princess Zelda, Aang, Master Chief, Ash and Pikachu, Batman, Leonardo DiCaprio, a Rageface, or even a friggin’ “Arrow to the Knee” Skyrim guard*, it would be okay. But if the image included Applejack or Fluttershy, the next 20 posts are guaranteed to be people complaining about My Little Pony. Now, who really de-railed the thread, here?
Yes, there are a lot of bronies that go overboard. But that goes for every fandom.
---
* Okay, people do complain about Arrow to the Knee, but usually only if it is specifically saying something about Arrows to the Knee. I would expect him to get a pass for simply “Woohoo! The Above Poster Rocks!”
Threads only get derailed because people go along with the derailment. Like I said in IRC last night, this forum has some fucking ADD issues. Hell, I've seen threads repeatedly get derailed even over non-pony stuff.Yeah. Shane and I have come pretty close to a few Harry Potter derailments. But no one else ever got involved in those, and we usually shut up after the fourth or so go around.

To be fair, my OC pony has a laptop cutie mark, and those don't really exist in Equestria either. ;)
Meh, the Britney Spears song ruins it for me. Good editing though.
So what do you guys think of the pony diet? After all, flowers are totally edible!
This post was inspired by nickinack's sig quote about flowers. After all, the major difference between buying flowers and dinner is that - for humans, at least - flowers are not delicious, and are not considered to be good forms of sustenance. That's where I thought the argument fell apart, and that naturally led to the topic of pony diets.
Pinkie's also stated she likes hot dogs with mustard. (It was later clarified these are veggie hot dogs.) Throw in all those pastries and other apple derivatives Applejack and family make, and you're sure to find something you like. Rainbows are not for eating, though.
Alternately: the Parasprite diet plan.
Me too. I can't wait to see what won. I hope they're all ones I picked. =3You can cheat, you know. The inside flap of the bags have a number written on them, that coincides with the list on the back.
Also, finally there are some blind-bag pony figures around where I live. I'm going to have a lot of fun at the toy store now~ I refuse to stop until I get some shiny mane cast members, or one of the hidden ones. (Don't tell me who they are, because I don't know and want to be surprised.) There are a couple others I might want just for their names. Interestingly, both the ones I got today have "luck" in their names. I take this as a good sign. =3

Aw, that doesn't sound like any fun. I'd rather pit my own wits and luck against the bags' stats. I'm quite good at it; I can get rare Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards like nothin'. There was a set of Pokémon cards not too long ago... I bought only one pack from the set, and it had exactly the holo Spiritomb I wanted in it. I like to think of it as a talent. ^-^
I has a dream last night where I turned into Pinkie Pie. And I don't even watch MLP. Is... is this a sign I should turn to the dark side?

And here's why I love the blind-bags. Today's prize yielded Pinkie Pie~IhadtoomuchPinkiePieonce,andletmetellyou,itdoesNOTcomeouttheotherenedsonice.KindalikethatonetimeIhadtoomuchRaisinBran,andIcouldn'twaittogettothe... On second thought, I'll stop there. (http://i.imgur.com/ROEnes.jpg)
Now, technically, I already have Pinkie Pie from that big 12-pack, as seen here:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/Bedroom/TaisRoomUpdatePlus002.jpg)
But she is my very favourite. And you can never have too much Pinkie Pie. Never. ^-^
Celestia's still technically inaccurate. She's not pure white, either. She's a very light pink--lighter than the old toys, but still pink.That would probably require a new type of paint vat at the factory in asia. Ain't got time or money fer that! Use the white! :P
Also, WANT Zecora and Nightmare Moon SO MUCH. <3

So the new toys will likely be popular with bronies. The real questions are:Most "exclusives" are done for two reasons:
1) Will they be popular with the target demographic?
2) Will their popularity cause other retailers - they're Toys R Us exclusives - to want to snatch them up? Furthermore, is the exclusivity because other retailers merely want to see a test market because they're skittish, or did Hasbro only seek to sell to Toys R Us, and didn't even bother to talk to Wal-Mart and others about this?
2. The toy maker chose a specific place to target a limited sales demographic. Hasbro is most likely in this case skittish and doing their own "testing."
Matell, for instance, has a longstanding relationship with a small but devoted group of He-Man fans. To this day, at conventions and through their much more well-organized on-line store, they do they limited releases of Masters of the Universe and She-Ra figures.
This is based on my experience being friends with two VERY big toy collectors. One of them literally has two rooms with nothing but his toys, and took a second job just so he could pay for more toys. :-\
Yeah, but they are used to people going nuts over Star Wars and Transformers. People generally don’t go nuts over My Little Pony. They are cautious because they don’t know if the brony phenomenon will be as strong as the other fandoms they do deal with.2.

I find this funny, given the fact that Hasbro does the bulk of the Star Wars figures, including EU characters that the real geeks like myself know about...
Exactly. So, I'm buying crap up. Bronies apparently wiped out the grab bag ponies from the on-line Hasbro store in less than 24 hours after they went on sale, so that should give them hope.Yeah, but they are used to people going nuts over Star Wars and Transformers.

Well, it doesn't sound all that hilarious to me... >w> So is that why most of the hooks at my Toys "R" Us are still constantly empty despite weeks and weeks passing, and I've only ever seen the really big Rainbow Dash plush all of once? I can't even find that one on Amazon... =< (At least I did get the Pinkie Pie variant (http://darkfiretaimatsu.xanga.com/754757633/pinkie-tai-you-are-so-random/).) They only did just get some pink Celestias, blind-bag ponies, and Crusader combo packs, like, this week, but seriously.Are you SURE the was a Rainbow Dash plush? The Hasbro store doesn't seem to have one, and all I've seen are Twilight and Pinkie Pie. :/
It sounds pretty disenheartening, because I kind of have my heart set on that new Nightmare Moon already, because she's not only important to me, but also to my ponysona character. I would probably kill for that toy, and if you think I'm exaggerating, you lay down on the butcher paper and try not to move. >w>

I'm as certain as I can be with no actual proof or way to verify.
Question: @0:21-0:22, Is that Derpy & Doctor Whooves on that one bridge??
Because I'm having a"They are listening to us" moment over it.

Why yes. Yes it is. When you look close, you can clearly see the hourglass mark on the stallion, and Derpy's eyes are lopsided as usual.
Edit: You know, pausing at that scene... there seems to be at least three lesbian couples around the square. They actually out-number the straight ones.

Just saying.

While possible, it would seem to defeat the purpose of the scene. Sweetie Bell is singing about how almost everypony has that Very Special Somepony in their life. And then it pans out, and you see a lot of ponies coupled together--the Crusaders being the only example of more than two ponies being near each other.
It just so happens that if you take the time to look, most of those couples were made up of two girls.

Well it still could be that they have more female ponies made as stock backgound characters and therefore instead of making extra male ponies just for one song they pair up the spares.
It was just an idea, please don't hurt me.
Caramel is paired with blues in an overhead shot, but later with a girlfriend in the song. Hm...
*rubs chin*
Lyra & Bon Bon are best couple in Ponyville, hands down.The fan-wank... dear gawd, the fan-wank... :o

I find it more likely the animators grabbed ponies at random for most things, rather than any specific relationship agenda. :P

Again, it's possible. But if they took the time to specifically include Doctor Whooves and Derpy, not to mention Bon Bon and Lyra, it doesn't feel like an accident. And there are other male ponies on the scene that are part of couples, but there's also just a noticeable number of two-girl pairings.
Also anyone one else creeped out by the face on the pony in the jelly, I don't know why it just creeps me out.Yeah, they’re having fun with that over on Memebase.
Whether or not all the mare/mare pairings are intentional, it does leave room for interesting interpretations. More important plot devices have been born of authors just rolling with an initially-unintended detail.My main point is I'm 99.99999% certain any speculation is purely fan interpretation. The animator crew, I highly doubt, puts much thought into it.

OK, how about this - I prefer to take overall take Faust's stance on the matter and not think about most sex-based issues, in relation to the show.

But... it was an entire episode dealing with romantic relationships. And I never mentioned a thing about sex. It just seemed that Ponyville has a whole heck of a lot of lesbian couples. And I only even noticed that because I checked to see if that really was Doctor Whooves and Derpy in that scene. It just so happens the same scene had Bon Bon and Lyra, plus about three other lesbian couples.I know you said nothing about sex. It's just labeling relationships and shipping, regardless of intent, well... it goes places. I've investigated all things pony, and I have seen things I'd rather not.
So yeah. Daymn. Ponies are hot stuff.

I want a Derpy Hooves figure.I want a pets pack. And Doctor Whooves. And Big Macintosh. And Discord.
I have a Rainbow Dash...now if only the stores around here would stock any other ponies I actually RECOGNIZE instead of this Fiddledeedoo Hooves or whatever the fuck these randomass ponies are.

They probably do. The more recognizable ponies simply sell much, much faster. It's kind of a given that your average little kid is going to buy a Twilight figure a lot quicker some random background pony. Even the more recognizable background characters like Derpy or Lyra are only really recognizable in the older "brony" crowd, which despite its size is still dwarfed considerably by the target audience of pre-teen girls who OMG PONIES.
So what you're saying is, I need to stake out the joint and wait for the new shipments? Hmmmmm.
@B-Man: I have my doubts that these ponies are actual background ponies in teh show as opposed to random-ass, generated bullshit. :/

Heads up, Target stores only know what's coming on the next shipment. It allows for the Distribution Center, which decides what product to send, to respond to sudden sell-outs of certain products.So what you're saying is, I need to stake out the joint and wait for the new shipments? Hmmmmm.
Or at the very least, ask an employee when they expect the next shipment of MLP merchandise. Since stocking shelves is a big part of the job, almost any employee in the proper department should be familiar with the schedule. And if not, a manager should be able to find the information.

I have been waiting for that song for a while now, and it was great to see it in an episode. And we got about three or four other songs as a bonus. =3
Also, I would totally buy a '80s Jazzercise Pinkie Pie. I would buy one of it. Because, really, why would I need more, from a display point of view?
Pinkie is so huggable, and never moreso than this episode. I want so badly for her to be real so we can be friends. >w>

Ditto. This episode is another reason why I LOVE Pinkie Pie, and she's the BEST PONY!! Also did anyone catch Derpy in the snowglobe??
I caught Derpy with my eyes as well. She was flying upside down as I recall.
I have to say that it was neat to see Pinkie redeem herself through her freakish memory - Chekov's skill? Honestly though, I shared Twilight's sentiment more than a little.
Also, Rainbow Dash was in the library reading the Griffin's Goblet. She was about halfway done. Yay continuity nods! :D
The moral of today's episode: If you're painfully annoying for long enough, people will become your friend.
It certainly seemed like it to me. Pinkie Pie annoys the poor old man to no end, snoops through his personal belongings, destroys his property on more than one occasion, and yet faces absolutely no consequences because she manages to not fuck up one thing. One thing that would have happened sooner or later anyway with both donkeys living in the same small town.

While I get that, there's kind of a limit. Pinkie should be in jail for everything she did to Cranky.

She learned someponies don't like to be bothered like that. It was right in the letter. She kinda learned her lesson, and was properly rebuffed by Cranky. I don't think there was anything to worry about at all. :'(
Sweet Celestia,... Look, she's an exaggeration of overly hyper and interested people. I had a friend in college who would follow you everywhere unless you were very, VERY blunt, follow you into your room unless you were the same. The exaggeration is hyperbole that is appropriately frowned upon in the magical pony-filled world.Destruction of private property usually results in a lawsuit.It certainly seemed like it to me.

But there's also the stalking, breaking into his home, and the massive invasion of privacy by snooping through his private materials...
Yes, it was mostly meant to be lighthearted. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm not too fond of Pinkie Pie, so I'd have liked to see some actual long-term consequences to her overbearing actions.The long-term consequence is that she has to restrain herself! Duh! :P
PINKIE PIE IS BEST PONY OF ALL PONIES
Also, today we learned that when Pinkie is overloaded with happiness she explodes into fireworks. wat.
I gotta go with Scootaloo. She really needs an episode to herself. She's got the most mysterious origins, in that we don't know anything about her beyond "World's Biggest Rainbow Dash Fan" yet.I agree good ol' Scoots needs an episode. Seriously!
This episode is another reason why I LOVE Pinkie Pie, and she's the BEST PONY!!

Who here has watched Friendship is Witchcraft?
Aw... so I missed the last episode :( but from what I read it seems to have been a good one.I'd never post a link to evil pirated materials. Gosh no.
Guess I'll have to go and look for it on Youtube or something

So, um, here's a link (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/friend-in-deed-streamsdiscussiondownloa.html) to a really cool post at some blog about a show with equines or some such...
You know, catching Winter Wrap-Up (which happens to be my favorite episode) the other day, I realized something that's usually hard to notice since to date there's only been two songs that involve all six of the mane cast.
But Rainbow Dash clearly has the best singing voice. Followed closely by Twilight.
I do realize that only two of the mane cast has the same VAs for voice and singing, but as far as the actual singing goes, Rainbow just seems the clear winner in quality.
Anyone have any thoughts on this to share?
Try something subtle. Like me, I carry my Rainbow Dash bag (http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=997) pretty much everywhere I go. (It's 20% cooler than any other bag out there.) If someone recognises it, you're in. Or, even if they just want to know what it means, there's your opening.
Of course, mine also has a couple pony figure keychains on it, which helps. =3 And also gives me something to play with if necessary. >w>
I've toyed with the idea of crocheting things in Twilight Sparkle's signature pink-and-purple. :3
This song seriously makes me happy as hell. I'm posting it!Aw, that song's awesome! The choir at the end!

You know overall, I'm not a fan of the whole "Celestia is a Tyrant" joke, but for some reason it all changes when it's Star Wars-MLP:FIM crossover joke. I really enjoy the whole "Celestia is in league with Palpatine/ Darth Vader/various other Imperial" and "Luna is aiding the Rebellion"jokes.

Mind you, their singing voices are by classically trained singers, while AJ/Dash have a more rockin' gal for their singing purposes.

I imagine it could be fairly lonely to be Celestia. Aside from the normal "untouchableness" of royalty, she's essentially a goddess, far more powerful than any known living creature aside from her own sister--who she didn't have by her side for 1,000 years. Her one attempt to spend a meaningful amount of time with her personal protege ending up consumed by the trappings of her station, forced to pay lip service to noble ponies she obviously cares little for on any personal level. Even her other attempt to just spend time with the people of Ponyville as a whole was cut far shorter than she would have liked.This. I think she absolutely adores the mane cast.
I am, however, disappointed that they edited out RD calling her by name.
A lot of fans are overreacting at best, It's not like they're not going to derp her eyes for future episodes, one of the animators says that she's fine in that respect (http://kreoss.deviantart.com/journal/Derpy-287023334). Just when I thought I seen the worse of this shit in other fandoms(Star Wars in particular), this comes along.I'm perturbed, but I appreciate EQDaily is trying to keep things sane. But the rants... Oh, sweet Celestia, the rants.
I'm mostly irked over the fact Hasbro caved at all, while everypony else was going "We like this portrayal of Derpy, even if Tabitha St. Germaine kinda messed up the voice, but that's okay."
This really is why we can't have nice things... maybe this upcoming episode with Fluttershy will help. Especially if they get R. Lee Ermey to do Iron Will's voice. Or, failing that, The Rock.

Spoilers on the upcoming episode synopsis, I suppose.
I don't really spend a lot of time on the site, mostly because the format makes navigating it rather painful. They really should work on that.My only issue is that do not make full use of tagging. I'd love it if when, for instance, a news post popped up that Derpy centric, I could click a Derpy tag and have all the news posts about the derpy crisis pop up. Instead, most of the tags are broad and don't help when mining for info on a particular thread of news. Therefore, if I've been gone from the site for a few days, I have to glean info from a vague, later news post and comments... or spend forever going through other posts. The search engine isn't also too accurate on this, since it will grab any post with the keywords, and that can be... problematic with the plethora of posts each day.
I'd think the site would be big enough to move beyond something like Blogger by now. o.o; And certainly there'd be no shortage of willing hooves to handle coding a new site.A new site would require funding beyond the small fee for forwarding from EquestriaDaily dot com. Considering the traffic size, I do NOT want to know what their bandwith charges would be.

The new scene is horrid and ironically IMO by fixing her eyes she becomes more offensive
since now she seems like an idiot rather then a normal person with a vision problem
I keep forgetting not everypony frequents EqD (or in my case, has it as their home page). We hear about upcoming episodes... usually two, three weeks in advance. We have another Fluttershy episode coming up, a Spike-centric episode (with world-building!) ... Hasbro loves us.
Not by a long shot. The advertising bucks Seth gets back accounts for what would be roughly 18% of what he'd actually need to pay the bandwidth, as memory serves. He'd need donation drives monthly just to cover bandwidth, and he's not willing to harrass the EqD userbase for it. So, on Blogger we stay, until a better option comes up.
NOT AN ACTUAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION:It's no different than an episode synopsis on TV Guide, B. It's all we get for upcoming episode info. That's it. We don't get spoilers... well, unless you count the early release of Hearts and Hooves day on Itunes...
Yeah, I snatched them up immediately! :D I encourage others to do the same and spread pony far and wide!.. Well, farther and wider than we already have... Where isn't pony these days? It's across the States, Canada, Australia, Europe... I don't know about chunks of Africa, South America and I don't think we own all of Asia yet... Hmm...
How is it that so many stories on eqD are [Grimdark]? (4/4 in today's updates) The originality of contrasting the kids'-show setting with gory themes has worn off by now, but apparently people still aren't fed up with it.

Execution is more important than genre. Also, you have to remember that the show has well-developed characters, and many Grimdark writers like to take advantage of those personalities by putting ponies in less than ideal situations that the show would never be able to properly cover.
You think that's a lot of Grimdark? you should have seen the fic queue in October... we once got 76 fics in one day. 37 of them were grimdark. EIGHT in a ROW were grimdark. It nearly made three of us quit.
And Grimdark's popular because of the pile of trash that is Fallout: Equestria. No, we're not kidding. We didn't have this problem before we stupidly agreed to post that fic.
Then Kkat, the author, has the damn nerve to tell us that A., we're wrong in our assessments of most fics, and B., she can do our job better than our collective 30+ plots can.

You think that's a lot of Grimdark? you should have seen the fic queue in October... we once got 76 fics in one day. 37 of them were grimdark. EIGHT in a ROW were grimdark. It nearly made three of us quit.
And Grimdark's popular because of the pile of trash that is Fallout: Equestria. No, we're not kidding. We didn't have this problem before we stupidly agreed to post that fic.
Then Kkat, the author, has the damn nerve to tell us that A., we're wrong in our assessments of most fics, and B., she can do our job better than our collective 30+ plots can.

So, you wouldn't want to read my upcoming MLP 40k story, then? :P
As a fellow pony writer put it to me on the phone: "These are happy, fluffy, smiling ponies! Why would you put them through such utter hell?!"

How is it that so many stories on eqD are [Grimdark]? (4/4 in today's updates) The originality of contrasting the kids'-show setting with gory themes has worn off by now, but apparently people still aren't fed up with it.
Execution is more important than genre. Also, you have to remember that the show has well-developed characters, and many Grimdark writers like to take advantage of those personalities by putting ponies in less than ideal situations that the show would never be able to properly cover.
Thankfully. I could barely handle the Discord episode!
I'm an odd bunny. I watch slasher movies for fun, but make Twilight Sparkle sad and I fall apart. :(

Well, it might have something to do with the fact that Twilight is not an asshole, but 9 out of 10 slasher victims are.
Ahem... Lesson Zero, anypony?

I dunno if that really qualifies her as an asshole. She was a neurotic, emotional mess at the time. Silly filly that she can be at times, she honestly believed her entire life would be ruined if she didn't write that letter. And it's not like her first resort was trying to create a problem--she looked long and hard for somepony having a genuine problem to try and fix, and got desperate and panicky.
And even then, an example pool of one doesn't really make a pattern or trend. She's never done anything of the sort before or since.
re: GrimdarkReapers could NOT handle the friendships.
Thinking about this, I guess I shouldn't complain. It would be hypocritical of me since my own plot bunny would be a Mass Effect crossover (Celestia and Reapers on the same playing board oh yes)
But how does freaking out equal being an asshole? That's what was being said. Or at least what's being heard, since your reference to Lesson Zero was a response to a post saying Twilight isn't an asshole.

She was getting pretty pushy in Lesson Zero for something to write the Princess about to the point she used what amounted to a mind-control spell on the vast majority of Ponyville. I'd call that being an asshole. Swarm of the Century? She was so convinced another spell would work that she didn't consider any other possible options and we saw how THAT backfired, instead of her listening to Pinkie...

In Lesson Zero, she was having a nervous breakdown. She wasn't really in control of her actions.
And as for Swarm of the Century, nopony took Pinkie seriously. Because she's Pinkie. Pinkie randomly going around asking for instruments doesn't exactly sound like the proper response to the town being destroyed. It sounds like the kind of thing Pinkie would do on any given day of the year. Yes, she should have taken the time to listen--but they were trying to thwart disaster, and Pinkie looked like she was just trying to throw another party.
I just have issue wit the idea of Twilight being labelled an asshole. She'd never intentionally do anything to harm or insult anypony, which I think is kind of important to that label. She can be insensitive at times, because she's not used to having friends--which is kind of the point. She's learning as she goes.I really don't see anypony acting wrong in Swarm of the Century. Seriously think about it.
Pinkie Pie spent the entire time barely trying to explain herself. She just assumed the other characters knew wht she was doing.Exactly. It doesn’t matter how much Twilight or anypony else tried to liste if Pinkie was not even trying to give an explanation.
Well, why is today Derpy Day?
Who cares why? Any day is a good day to celebrate Derpy~BINGO
Every day is Derpy day, though. I'd have to go 24 hours without screwing something up, and well now tats nt hapening!Who cares why? Any day is a good day to celebrate Derpy~BINGO
Well, I think I'm officially obsessed with ponies now. I'm starting up my first fanfic tonight. Going to test the waters with something relatively small, a short Applejack/Rainbow Dash fic. I'll post a link to it once it's done and uploaded somewhere.

An extra set of eyes never hurt, so I'd be glad to take you up on that. Might be easier to handle if we talked about it over AIM or something though, so feel free to message me on any of the names I've got listed over there.
Can someone link me to the new episode? Is it the one where Fluttershy becomes a model or something? I've lost track since having my mom living with me the past two weeks.
Also, my apartment allows for its residents to be able to paint on the walls, I am so thinking about painting a pony mural, though I suck at drawing really. It would be cool though.
So think about Fluttershy's insults to Rarity and Pinkie Pie for a minute. She insulted their lives' callings. Everypony dreams of the day they find their calling, earning their cutie mark in the process. She berated and belittled that.
I mean, what she did was rude, but if you consider just how much a pony's life calling means to them, then she was indeed a monster.
Also apparently Faust said that Luna turned evil due to external forcesSo think about Fluttershy's insults to Rarity and Pinkie Pie for a minute. She insulted their lives' callings.

I'm starting to think what Discord did wasn't turn people opposite, but essentially turn their personalities inside out - the deepest part of them that they are quite capable of but subconsiously deny suddenly became their main personality.
Rarity innately has the capacity for great selfishness, Pinkie Pie has the capacity for great party-poopering, Fluttershy has the capacity for great meanness, Applejack probably has the capacity to be deceitful, and hell, the very first thing we saw Twilight Sparkle do was be an antisocial loner.

On the subject of fanfics, I can't wait for the Iron Will fanfics, I hope someone does a background story for him, because I have a great idea of making him into an ex-pro wrestler for some reason.

One thing I like about the episode is that at the end, he was actually very reasonable. He wasn't a monster, he was just teaching others wrong.
My personal fanon for him is that he was actually bullied a lot growing up, and had to teach himself how to handle it, since no one else would help him. And then he saw others being bullied, so he taught them to do the same.
When he was met with non-violent resistance for the first time in the form of Fluttershy, it surprised him and essentially changed his viewpoint on things.
I suppose he could've been a pro-wrestler along the lines. He certainly acts like one XD
In case you can't tell, I like Iron Will. He's sorta like Gilda's opposite.
Yeah, there was nothing wrong with Will, just his methods. I quite enjoyed the episode overall. Not my favorite, by far, but not the weakest either. Plus, I know it made N. de Plum happy. Yay.

So, Tai used his Taibrain while watching the new DVD, and some thoughts came out, and it eventually ended up as some weird art.I'd have gone with Spike... and had Rainbow Dash as the "cool sixth ranger". :p

Didn't the Power Rangers get like a big robot thing? I wanna see what a pony version looks like =P
Also, is anybody else as hyped about this weeks episode as I am? Time traveling Twilight is just an absurdly awesome premise for an episode.
Stop tempting me with spoilers, goddammit!
Stop tempting me with spoilers, goddammit!
Come to the Dark Side, B... we have Luna! and fudge!
... and Rarity comes over every other Thursday.
Hsssssss! No spoilers! Hssssssss!
Can I at least keep the hat? Miss Cheerilee gave it to me...Hsssssss! No spoilers! Hssssssss!
Bad E! don't make me start taking away your hoard!
Yae: I do make fudge on request for a price. Interested?
Glitter twilight must've used morph magic to turn into astral creature. Like, something similar to an Ursa Minor/Major, I mean.
I didn't see the new episode yet( I was at work), but it by B-man's new avatar and the spoiler clip I can tell it's going to rock.
BTW, the blind bag mane 6 collection is complete, yesterday I got the Fluttershy I got on ebay, and today AppleJack came in the mail.

I can't help but think you probably paid way more for it than you had to collecting it that way. You can cheat to see which figured are in the bags, you know...

I know, but the thing is that none of the toy stores in my area stock the blind bag ponies except for that one time I happened upon Twilight Sparkle,Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Raindow Dash at the Christmas Tree Shop. I got those 4 for $2 each. I only got AppleJack & Fluttershy through ebay. I didn't have problem winning the AppleJack, but I had to buy the Fluttershy for a little more then I wanted to, but it was better than the crazy bidding that was going on for her.
Am I the only one who noticed that they actually have a hell in this universe?
Granted, it's Greek hell (considering Tartarus is more or less unofficially the "hell" of Hades), but still.
The fandom theory that G4 Equestria is the pacified G1 Dream Valley makes more and more sense..Am I the only one who noticed that they actually have a hell in this universe?
Granted, it's Greek hell (considering Tartarus is more or less unofficially the "hell" of Hades), but still.
Well, it didn't sound like an "underworld" so much as like a prison for the creatures too dangerous to leave free. And considering dragons and ursa majors are allowed to live in Equestria, just imagine the kind of power anything deemed dangerous enough to be locked in Tartarus is...
Breaking out of Ponyville is impossible. Breaking in is INSANE.
Have Las Pegasus and the other town been mentioned before? I enjoy all of the different towns being added. Puns rock. Whoo hoo!
Baltimare got confirmed as canon, after long being fanon.The review confirmed these for me. Yay EQDaily!

Dude, I've watched Cannibal Holocaust. You're gonna have to do better than a photoshop filter and ponies. ;)
I'll warn you, I haven't been able to work up the ability to try Human Centipede. I might not be tough enough to be pals. :PDude, I've watched Cannibal Holocaust. You're gonna have to do better than a photoshop filter and ponies. ;)
I watched Martyrs without flinching. Let's be pals.
Please! Please! We don’t need that kind of Centipede hangin’ around my ponies. :P
...Was there any genuine point to that?
Knowing this fandom, it likely already exists in some form. I'd rather not see it. My ponies (the figures on my shelf) are looking at me aghast enough as it is....Was there any genuine point to that?
*ponders for a few seconds, then shrugs*
No, not really.
If you want something that's on point, though, I just had an interesting thought along the lines of what Mrs. Anitchrist and e13 are discussing, and I could certainly ponify it for the purpose of this thread.

So Fluttershy's taming of Cerberus makes me want to really make up D&D sheets for the main 6. <3
for the record with the toys, I just want Luna, Nightmare Moon, Zecora, Trixie, AJ and Dash. I'm good after that.Dude, you're not going to mane six it? What a waste...

I don't think any of the 5 sets include a Zecora one... she's the only zebra in the show, so uses for her mold would be kind of limited. It sadly doesn't seem very likely.

Considering they had her shown as part of the Luna/Nightmare Moon/Trixie/Lyra set, I think she's slated for set 6.

Did they? I mean... I see all the others (and I'm pretty sure those are all set 5), but haven't seen a Zecora figurine. I'm not doubting you, but you could like link me or something? I'm really interesting in getting one eventually if it's true.

Oh, I remember that one. But I thought we were talking about the blind-bag figures...
That's cool Tai.I was taught hair braiding by a girl at my comic shop a few weeks back. All so I could personalize the look of "Blossomforth," a non-canon pony I bought simply because
And guess what fellow pony freaks, I brought a custom Derpy blindbag the other day, I can't wait for it to come so I can add it to my collection.
Anyone complaining about Spike keeping the egg I have noticed some animals do not take their young back if they are touched
Today's episode seemed kinda meh, especially compared to last weeks. also, Fluttershy is dragon-racist. but since they all seem to be dickbags I guess it's fine :PConsidering its apparently commonplace for dragons to destroy towns, kill bird children, steal and hoard everything in sight, I really wouldn't call her racist. Just rightfully scared. Prejudiced is as far as I'd go. If she was truly racist, she would assume Spike would grow up to be the same and treat him with the same fear.

I guess I should have been more clear, I was referring to the dragons ;D
Maybe it only applies to mammalsAnyone complaining about Spike keeping the egg I have noticed some animals do not take their young back if they are touched
Actually, that was just stuff people made up to stop kids from picking up baby birds and trying to take care of them. Birds do not suddenly decide their children are worthless if a human touched one. In fact, most birds don't even have much in the way of a sense of smell, so they can't even tell if you've touched their babies.
In this case, the phoenixes' nest was destroyed, and they flew off with all their hatched young. It's very probable they weren't coming back, considering the egg either a lost cause or a dud. And considering Twilight has a teacher who owns a phoenix, she's likely able to find the information on how to properly care for a baby one.
I wouldn't think so. I mean, I usually touch a squirrel baby, squirrel mom is all up in my face, chomping away.

Is there a clip of the “usually just into fashion” line from Rarity up yet?I almost screen capped her pose and made it my new avatar. Then I found RariJedi!

The Twilight one is most interesting because of the discussion it spawned on the page. I have to agree with the commenter who goes by DeeperMadness, "That is the most appalling use of Twilight I've seen since Stephanie Meyer discovered word processing programs."

BEHOLD.
Guess who owns a Dashie from McDonald's now!
P.S.: Her cutie mark reminds me of gatorade. :P
Just so you know, I got the toy for $1.49. So it's not erfect, but not only is it small and portable, but it's also relatively cheap and if you have a friend who's good or a steady hand and some supplies, you can modify them.
I got my custom Derpy blind bag the other day ;D
It was worth it too, because it's Derpy...

Well, I'm a 40k player, so I'm used to painting minis. But sadly, I haven't had the funds for paint in a while--and honestly, it'd cost me more paint than the figures are worth to fix them. I'd have to buy a ton of colors just for Rainbow, never mind anypony else. And with colors running somewhere around $3 per pot, it'd go up. Sure, I could use the paint for other stuff, but I don't have a use for a lot of those colors in my army.

Mine is Smile, Smile, Smile, but I'm a sucker for a Pinkie Pie song..

I missed this episode again...was in a psych hospital.
What did I miss and what is the episode called so that I can look it up?
Also, Priestling, I'm jealous. I so want to attend but I have no finances as well, I only wish they would have a MLP convention in my city.

On another note: There's a lot of nonstandard character design going on this season. Featherweight is a key example.
Ah, Roid Pony... he was one of the best parts.
Yae: We survived the last drought, we'll survive this just fine.
Once a week was probably generous, I admit. I don't really have any perspective, I've only been doing it a couple weeks at best~
And either way, I'm disallusioned by how many questions Bedlam gets, so... ^-^
And...Blossomforth is sold out of the stores. XD I should have seen this coming.She hasn't been regularily available for some time, having come from the first wave waaaaaay back. I had to go to ebay when I bought her a good two months before she became canon.
Time to call Toys 'R Us about ordering in some ponies... >.>
Saw this video with a bunch of criticisms of Brony culture and I thought it had valid points. Just wondering what everybody else thought.

Part of me doesn't want to deride these people merely because of their age, but another part is saying, "Pfft, teenagers. What the fuck do they know anyway?" There's like one kid who's a brony, at least. The rest of them range from somewhat cool to just plain annoying douches who've been shaped by all that stupid narrow minded boy/girl segregation shit their whole life.
I do like the one line about the girl who mentions that nobody gets in her face for liking Buzz Lightyear.

I saw Derpy once or twice, but I wasn't able to note if she was derped at the time.
Oh, that was the other thing I wanted to mention: Combat Party Cannon.
Going to copy and paste from the pre-reader e-mail thread discussion I started after the episode aired. Bear in mind, this was really, really hard to write, as a member of the biggest muffin pony fansite out there.
"Ironically, despite me being the one to start this thread, and initially enjoy the two-parter, and on some level still do... there's just too many problems with this season finale for me to enjoy the show, in a sense.
I realize, this is a cartoon made to sell toys to little girls. I understand that. But when you go so wildly off-course from S1E1 of "Celestia and Luna are Goddesses" to S2E25/26 where Celestia's getting beaten with... not much in the way of trouble, no sign of the massive amounts of Royal Guards shown earlier, no sign of Luna save for those three brief moments and lines, and no explanation as to how Cadence became an alicorn, or where she's from (is she from outside Equestria? if so, then does each province have an alicorn ruler? if THAT'S the case, then the whole 'all-powerful-deities' canon from the VERY FIRST EPISODE is thrown out the window) or any other details beyond 'she foal-sat Twilight'. Shining Armor? why didn't we see him in Cutie Mark Chronicles? Why wasn't Twilight writing letters to him, if they were so close?
There's so many holes here that you could fly the entire Wonderbolts squadron through, backwards, blindfolded, and pulling simultaneous Rainbooms.
... ... what happened to the show I knew and loved? Maybe... I don't know. If this is the way the show's going, I don't know if I'll even have much interest in season three."
I've got a few things to address about that, actually. I'm not saying you're wrong to hold that opinion, by the way.
1. The Power of Love is so powerful that not even a physical goddess can fight it... even when it's used as a weapon by a villain. The fact that even Queen Chrysalis was shocked by this is hugely telling. Also, it wasn't "without much effort"... it's just that in a beam war, it doesn't take too long to actually resolve.
Unless you're Dragon Ball Z. Taking 20 minutes to resolve a beam war is just not fun.
2. Luna's nocturnal. She was asleep. If you notice, she doesn't appear again until the night.
3. The guards were all outside, because they all thought the threat was still outside. As you can see in a snippet, the changelings were easily capable of overpowering the guards. VERY easily.
4. I think it's been stated that Cadence is Celestia's (great-great-great-great-great-great) Niece. As for how she became an Alicorn, well... that's The Question, isn't it?
5. The letters were probably being written off-screen. That being said, it's quite possible that Shining Armor was invented for this episode. That doesn't make it bad. As for why he wasn't at Twilight's entrance exam, well, he was probably in the middle of training.
I'm actually kinda sad that you're disappointed with this episode :( Not because I think you're wrong, but because it just seems so... depressing to have enjoyed this episode greatly and find that it caused another such anguish.
If this is the way the show's going, I don't know if I'll even have much interest in season three."
It's mostly the fact that S2E25/26 has sharply veered from the actual SHOW CANON that was used in S1E1. That's my main beef.
It's mostly the fact that S2E25/26 has sharply veered from the actual SHOW CANON that was used in S1E1. That's my main beef. To somepony that started with the show (all the way back in G1, mind you), that's watched all the episodes four times each at least, helped run and worked at major pony cons... it really, really bothers me that they've taken established canon and made it... a shadow of its former self.
In other news, thought I'd share the pain of THIS little gem of a fic. Bring brain bleach and booze. You'll need both: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22075/1/The-Gospel-According-to-Twilight-Sparkle/(http://i.imgur.com/5PrVb.png)
The point of "Embellishment for the sake of the story" was also raised in the pre-reader IRC. Thinking on it, it's a valid interpretation. I'm still bothered because I've come to see Celestia and Luna both as nigh-omnipotent Goddesses, and... I don't know, maybe it's that view, plus time constraints on the show, that bothers me. Several of the other pre-readers are also of the opinion that it could possibly have warranted a movie unto itself.
I'm feeling better and less... depressed, perhaps? over the episode. It still bothers me, but I can see where some of the issues lie, and why, now.
Sorry to be such a downer, everypony.
^ Though in her defense, she's been shown to fail at teleporting under pressure, and probably wanted to save all of her power for the fight.

Speaking of which, have you ever noticed that the only time you see her use that spell is on people who are already in love? Nice touch, MLP staff. It's not a spell that makes people fall in love... it's a spell that tempers and strengthens the already existing love. Enough to make a couple forget a silly argument and remember that they love each other.
It also could've been that Cadence, as an alicorn, was simply too powerful to be teleported safely at Twilight's current magical level - and it didn't seem like Cadence was an adept at magic herself, specializing precisely in love magic.

Nope. Remember how she teleported them to that cliff top? I mean, maybe you meant with great distances, but that's now how you seem to be saying it.
Actually, I forgot that Twilight teleported herself and Cadence closer to the entrance.
Well, there's still the whole "Teleportation is done respective to current location - you can't just teleport to Canterlot, you need to know where Canterlot is located in relation to your current position" idea.
So who has Netflix, and when is Season 2 coming up on it? I mean, I don't have Netflix, but I'm curious.
Personally, I don't even use "brony". I'm just a pony fan~I like having a term to differentiate from the target demographic. Those kids don't need to be lumped in with the likes of us. :P
It also, however, references the birth place of the periphery demographic, in the bowels of the internet, /b/ channel of 4chan.org (b+pony).
Well, the original nomenclature was /b/rony, so there you go.
Also, the lack of episodes is starting to get to me, even as a pre-reader (the really bad fic submissions we're getting are NOT helping), and I might have to have a pony marathon soon, at this rate.

Making it a con exclusive is simultaneously both the most brilliant and most disappointing news I've heard in a while.The "weird, for adults" toys tend to be convention exclusives. I believe long-time pony-fans have been given one ever couple years.
Today I bought the mane 6 ponies in blindbag form, and then gave one to each of my cow-orkers, telling them why they were like that pony and why they were good to work with.
I kept Pinkie for myself, because I like to make people smile. And I sure did that today~

"Shining Armor" is a blatant reference to "knight in shining armor", which invokes the image of a noble, selfless knight who helps others in need. So, in essence, they named their son after a positive trait. Just like people today do.Case in point: If I ever have a son, I intend to name him "Enormous Penis".

LOLConsidering pony porn even has its own name and subculture surrounding it, I'd be bloody surprised if it hadn't already been done long ago.
Someone, somewhere, is going to make a porn star Pony OC named precisely that.

What did your coworkers think? Are they even familiar with MLP?
A mother’s well-timed Facebook comment meant the difference between disappointment and happiness for her brony son with disabilities.
Fifteen-year-old Dragon, who goes by his middle name, was looking forward to meeting My Little Pony voice actress Tara Strong at the Knoxville Comic and Anime Show. But when Strong canceled her appearance, his mother, Rebecca Andrews, wasn’t sure what to do.
On May 31, she wrote on the convention’s cancellation announcement on Facebook:
“Thanks for posting. Just wish she'd cancelled before I paid for the vip pass. Now I have to figure out how to tell my disabled son he won't be meeting Twilight. :(“
Little did she know that Strong herself was reading the post. Strong quickly contacted Andrews to arrange a phone call with Dragon. In a follow-up posted on the convention’s Facebook page and on a LiveJournal’s EquestriaMLP, Andrews posted some of the highlights:

I've been mildly obsessed with apple juice lately. It's weird because I haven't drunk it in, like, 15 years. And then I started reading the Jappleack (http://ask-jappleack.tumblr.com/) archives, and BAM! Apple juice all the time, forever. FOREVER!
I guess if I had to get addicted to something, though, there's worse things than apple juice.

I don't really get why she can't fly. Is it only her? Pound Cake would fly and he's a baby.
My personal guess with that is that it's because Pound Cake's a baby. Scoots is a lot bigger than Pound Cake, but their wings are still about the same size. Thus, it's harder to move Scoots around than Pound Cake.
Alternately, it's another wild magic (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WildMagic) thing. Pumpkin Cake was using magic instinctually, but when was the last time you saw Sweetie Belle do any magic?
I am hooked...lol. I'm not worried it will suck, I can't wait to see Trixie back, and Fluttershy turned into a dragon.
Story of the Blanks is NOT happening...
... for one thing, referencing anything that came purely from fandom is a lot of legal trouble. For two? try pitching that to Hasbro, I DARE YOU! Do you realize how fast it'd ruin them?!
Lol, look what I found.

Why can't we just get along?
And Nick? De Lancie's said outright that he's doing A voice for S3... he just didn't mention any characters. So, possible guest star sorta thing.
Also, Weird Al may pop up in S3 as well.
The Pony hate is really annoying, there are a few on this message board that I would personally smack the shit out of them for being dicks about hating it(I'm not naming names here but if you pm me, I might).

also, still waiting on my proper Chrysalis figurine...

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Zecora's out, glows in the freaking dark, and is sold at Toys R Us. Shall I get you one, lovely?
We don't have a Toys'RUs in my town. Not that I'd be able to afford to order online or whatever anyway.
the 25th is the rumor, yes. Unfortunately, we really haven't gotten anything CONCRETE since then.
I'm also hearing October, and I'm hearing early November. The sooner the better, though. I need my pony fix!

Also I'm in need of some new pony.
For the others, in case you don't get it: There actually IS an FIM comic coming out. There's two issues done and going to the printers as I type. They're working on #3 and 4 now.

Can I assume from the cover that the comic is going to be hand drawn? No lazy vector stuffs, right?
So... November, eh?

Seriously, alot of MLB memes lately boil down to
"They be hatin', but we be toleratin', they can't touch us"
...But that is expressly the opposite of what I see. Bronies get pissed off by trolls ALL of the time, just like any fandom gets pissed off by trolls.
This "patting yourself on the back for something that's not really happening" bullshit is annoying the fuck out of me.

So have you guys tried out this game yet?
http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlpfim-cupcake-maker
It has a pretty nice difficulty curve, and starts getting pretty damned hard in the later levels.
Oh boy. I spent way too much time on a certain Tumblr this morning.
http://rabididiotbrony.tumblr.com/
Honestly this needs to have an article on Know Your Meme for a few reasons.
1. I think it seems to have memetic potential, especially with the spinoffs (http://rabididiotbrony.tumblr.com/search/spinoff). Really, it could be spun off to anything, making it an exploitable.
2. While I'm not sure whether or not it would go as the article "Rabid Idiot Brony" or "Rabid Idiot X" because of the spinoffs (which I'm not sure have much spread to begin with), the very idea of some of the more fanatical aspects of the fandom shitting themselves over this makes me happy. I can practically hear the cries for "deadpool +1" already!
I mean, as the blog/meme points out, it's not about bronies in general, but rather some of the more unsavory and hypocritical parts of the fandom. In other words, the fandumb.
I'm okay with Discord becoming president.

I always pronounced it lie-ra (in my head) Although I'm not sure the name is canon (Heartstrings is the other fan name for her I believe)
...And why have I still, so far, not watched an episode of this series yet?
Availability?Since Netflix has released episodes of the show, that isn't a problem. Now the recent episodes, I doubt I'll have access to them unless someone is kind enough to upload them (and that is if the series holds my interest). I should also mention that we can't access the Hub channel, which is a shame since it also offers reruns of Batman: The Animated Series and Beyond, which captivated my interest for that channel as well.
Lack of interest in the show outside of memetic material?Not a problem.
Lack of time?I often find myself doing a whole lot of stuff in the week, often including class assignments (and unfortunate procrastination and dedication to unimportant things), so that's a problem.
Fear that it won't match the hype?A possibility.
Don't want to be associated with rabid idiot bronies?Since I'm in the Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog fandoms, I've seen a lot of idiots or outright gross people, and I try not to get worked up about it. I've seen the ugly side of the MLP:FiM fandom and that hasn't scared me from looking into that show (or the stigma gained for being a fan of that show, but then again, I've seen Pokéfans slam Bronies... I mean at least the Pokémon series had its stigma for being for kids, boys and girls, where My Little Pony for the longest time was exclusively aimed for little girls).
I mean, hell, I'll be the first to admit that FIM just isn't for everyone. I'm not one of those people who thinks it's a fact that everyone who watches it is hooked. That's just stupid and arrogant.Oh yes. Bless you for not being those bohos who are just so... religious about this show. I mean what were they like before the Friendship is Magic series, and when someone on 4Chan's /co/ board snarked a negative review of the show on Cartoon Brew (the original author complained about how animation isn't like "better times" and now everything is just "toyetic")? When I'm in a fandom, it's usually because I like a work, not some sort of cry for attention. I mean I also pointed out that I might get disappointed (which is why for all this time, I never watched an episode of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimaya and Lucky Star, despite getting caught into them in 2007-2008. I mean I might hate them outright if I were to watch them now).
The one thing that really bugged me was the whole "And Boom Cadence Saves Everypony" ending.
I'm sorry, but I think this episode was WAY too over the top. I hope they don't go further in this direction this season.
I wish I could find those cards around here.I found them at both Hot Topic and Target.

I still like the interpretation found online... that Sombra was depression personified.
Gonna be out of town tomorrow so I won't be able to catch the episode live for the second week in a row =( Oh well. I hear tomorrow is a CMC episode so I'm a bit wary about it, not a good track record for the CMC episodes so far.
So...
Babs gets bullied at home and takes it out on the CMC = "She has her reasons, we should pity her and let her suffer no repercussions for her behavior."
CMC get bullied by Babs and take it out on her = "OMG what are you doing, that is never justified, bad CMC, shame on you!"
So I guess the moral of the story is: if you get bullied, you should attack someone completely unrelated rather than the bully themselves. Got it.
Am I the only older person who does like the CMC?? They're cute. I don't get the CMC hate.
The best CMC episodes are The Show Stoppers, Call of the Cutie, and The Stare Master.

USA Today did a article on MLP (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2012/11/26/my-little-pony/1725375/). :D

I do love plushies. I currently have the jumbo ones for Pinkie Pie and Twilight, and the full line of the mini plushes with the ribbon-like manes (Pinkie, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash).

Honestly, the gender-swapping is just making me want to own this episode legit.
...I may have issues.
Speaking of issues.
MLP:FiM is the only show where I actually like the Rule 63 content.
(Probably because I like men a lot, so a predominately female cast turns into a predominately male cast)
Heard the latest whining from the Moral Guardians? with the "gender switch" trick, Hasbro is apparently promoting alternate lifestyles like transgenders.
To which I say, "fuck dammit America, don't make me set you on fire" and reach for the booze.

I don't usually like Rarity (I don't dislike her, I just find her kinda boring), but I'm watching an episode right now all about Rarity that reminds my SO MUCH of working with difficult clients on design jobs.

If we're gonna play bingo, let's not discuss spoilers when marking the cards, at least not without proper spoiler tags. I mean, I know that the next episode is supposed to be about Scootaloo or whatever at this point. I don't know what it's gonna be about exactly. I also know that a lot of synopses have been released already. Details are not what I want. The more they can be avoided, the better.
60:40? more like 80:20 or 90:10... the only males I can think of off the top of my head are Rarity and Twi's dads, Ace and Pokey are together, Big Mac has Smarty Pants, Braeburn has Little Strong Heart, Sheriff Silverstar, Hoity Toity, Filthy Rich, Mr. Cake has Cup, Snips and Snails, Doctor Whooves has Derpy and Mr. Breezy. Donut Joe and Gustave Le Grande only have eyes for each other.
... sorry, 3:37 a.m., my shipper's showing. I'm going to bed.

I'm sorry, I didn't post it as "Hey, here are some spoilers", I posted it in good fun, and haven't read any of the synopses personally. On another note, you seem to get way too bent out of shape over spoliers, and spoilers aren't that big of a deal to get bent out of shape over. I don't mean to come off as a bitch, I just think you take spoilers in general, too seriously and need to lighten up a bit. If you hate spoilers so much why have you read any of synopses?? I haven't read ANY of the future episode synopses, and I have no problem with spoilers.

Yeahhhhh... Hasbro's really... kinda PISSED from what I hear. As I understand it, they're currently verbally bucking the hay out of Itunes and trying to get it pulled.
The only reason I watched it was because I have an exam when it airs, as well as tomorrow and late Saturday. Plus I figured I wouldn't have been able to avoid the spoilers anyways.
EqD warned that it was up on Itunes... and basically left it to the users if they wanted to see it early or not.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRdfX7ut8gw

Usually in fic, Fluttershy is referred to as 'Flutters' by Pinkie, sometimes Dash and AJ. Rarity is 'Rares' from AJ, everypony calls Twilight 'Twi' unless you're Shining Armor, Dash is... Dash. I seem to recall Dash calling Pinkie 'Pinks' at some point, and AJ gets either 'AJ' from everypony else, or 'Boss' from Dash.
Fluttershy and Rarity seem to only have singular names, like Scootaloo, Snips and Snails.
Also, death to Fluttermac shippers. Macinpants and Fluttarity forever!

You just picked the ones with the funniest names.

To summarize today's episode: Who's a silly pony? Applejack is!
Didn't like it. I dunno just i dunno didn't sit right
I'm surprised how many people seem to dislike this episode's songThe tune was catchy, but there have been off-the-cuff Pinkie Pie songs with more intelligent lyrics.
it was the pacing and kind of I thought Applejack would have learned by now not to overwork in general

Well, since her parents are supposedly dead, maybe she had to grow up too fast running the farm, or something.

No, at least not literally. I suppose you could consider her a metaphorical big sister after the Scootalove ep.

Where are Scootaloo's parents?
You know, I think I saw a comic where Applejack's dad was telling her "One day this will be yours." while holding his hat and pointing to the orchard. The joke was that he was referring to the hat.
I actually kind of like the idea of AJ's hat being from her father. That is to say, I kind of like the idea of it as a keepsake for AJ to remember her dad by. Hell, I'm sure a touching fanfiction could be written or a small fancomic could be made from the idea.

I know Discord's returning. I wasn't able to avoid that spoiler. However, I've been able to avoid knowing much about the details, but then Kefka dropped something that sounds like a pretty big spoiler to those of us who'd like to stay as much in-the-dark as possible. Yet you're telling me my annoyance isn't justified? Really, Priestling? Really?
Why don't I just find another show you like and start spouting off spoilers about upcoming stories? Not all of us care to speculate about this shit, whether you like to admit it or not.

• Fluttershy is definitely my favorite, but I love all the Mane Six. Even Rarity.
• I've been eating more apples and apple-based desserts lately.
Season 3 isn't on Netflix, but it's online somewhere, right?
I'm all caught up with season 3.

Q is still Q, he's just a little more respectful of mortals.
I'm enjoying this season. Just wish it was longer.

I have someone I call a brother that got run out of the fandom by the rabid dipshits. The ones that seriously act that you're less of a person for NOT being interested in the show.
That's kind of a mouthful, though.Kinda my point. Catchy labels make it easier for people to lump each other together. Case in point, the label "brony" makes you feel lumped in with the obsessives, the cloppers, and the other unsavories.
FiMatic.
Damn. I see everyone's talking about creating a new label to distinguish themselves from the obnoxious, annoying, or generally "unsavory" parts of the fandom. Pardon me, but I think using a separate label to distinguish yourself from segments of the fandom you don't like comes off as awfully pretentious and conceited.

I'm so glad you personally PMed me about this on IRC to tell me about this post so you can deliver a self-righteous rant about how pretentious and conceited I am.
Maybe you should look in a mirror before doing anything like that in the future.
Circle jerk?
Seriously?
I stand by my point about looking in a mirror before doing anything in the future. Because you've really decided to make a complete ass out of yourself over this.

Angel is the opening villain for season four.
I'll go ahead and sum my thoughts on Angel the bunny: He's an asshole, plain and simple.But he's so cute!

What the fuck? is that picture a real thing?
I seriously hope this isn't a permanent change.
Oh, I meant why folks are getting so worked up over what's happening to Twilight.
Honestly, the fan theories that Twilight was going to become a princess have been flying around since the early part of season 1.
Since, you know, Twilight is the period of time between day and night. The two most powerful ponies in Equestria were also named for periods of the 24 hour cycle (Celestia and Luna).
Not to mention that Twilight caught the specific interest of Celestia.
My only concern with Twilight becoming a princess is that, if that's been the ultimate goal of her studies, then that would mean she has nothing left to study for. Her OCD nerdiness is her entire character, so I really hope the only thing that changes about her is her appearance, and she'll still spend all her time reading and being a dork.
Several of the pre-readers, along with myself are hoping for "Here's the powers you're going to get to have... eventually. Enjoy them for a week or so, try not to destroy the country."
First, Hasbro's openly said this is permanent.

I have to ask, where has this been stated? Googling and checking the usual sources (derpibooru, EQD, /mlp/, r/mylittlepony) turns up nothing.

What is one goal if not the starting point of another journey?
For one thing, Twilight will probably have to begin studying new magic. Not to mention that she might have to learn how to do pegasus things as well.
I wonder, though... is it only unicorns that can become alicorns? Or can pegasi do this, too? Hmm.
This article (http://family-room.ew.com/2013/01/29/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-exclusive-twilight-princess/), which is linked to by The Hub's facebook post about the finale, talks about it. One reason it may not be elsewhere is that the information is supposed to be an exclusive, and is kind of an obscure site for someone looking for pony news.
Essentially, it talks about Twilight's personality not changing, but her having to endure the responsibilities of her new title in the future.

Isn't the Earth Ponies' power extra strength?
I dunno seems more implied especially since even without her wings Rainbow Dash is as fast and strong as Applejack

You know I read the article, and it still leaves a lot open for interpretation. It isn't black and white on what her future will be, as I said for all we know she could even give up the title and the wings for the sake of her friends(which I'm placing my money on) in the future.
basically they ended the curret prime season and the last one on major cliffhangers
5 minutes in, If I have to hear the "sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake" thing one more time imma punch a filly.
Also Hasbro had thrown Transformers under the bus before with some of the toys (looking at you powerizer gimmick)
I'm...
...actually leaning towards "positive" with this.
Even if it's Hasbro going "Lolz, more toyz, here have a plot dumped in your lap", I'm positive that the writers can take almost anything Hasbro can throw at them and turn it into something good.(click to show/hide)

No, Bratz dolls are way worse looking. At least in the concept art, they don't look like they have lips pumped up beyond belief with collagen, like Bratz dolls do.
I'm going to be honest, that last episode was just awful on me. Just so cringe worthy moments coupled with everything else.
Also, what was with Twilight's random breathing exercises? There was absolutely nothing leading up to them, it was just, "Okay, Twilight's suddenly not so high-strung anymore", but it didn't really seem to go with anything else that was going on.
I'm...Where is this concept art? I'd like to see it, just out of curiosity.

So I'm sure a few of you are familiar with the official map of Equestria, right? No? Well, if you aren't, then here you go.
http://futzi01.deviantart.com/art/Map-of-Equestria-323909537
One thing this interactive map doesn't seem to mention is info on the San Palomino Desert. Well, it does turn out that San Palomino IS yet another horse pun.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/palomino
" a horse that is pale cream to gold in color and has a flaxen or white mane and tail "
You know, I knew I was going to like the show when I saw the very first episode and learned that the land was called "Equestria," and this just makes me even more happy to know [about the show].
Also, what was with Twilight's random breathing exercises? There was absolutely nothing leading up to them, it was just, "Okay, Twilight's suddenly not so high-strung anymore", but it didn't really seem to go with anything else that was going on.
...If you had been paying attention, you would've seen it was a trick she picked up from Cadence very early in the episode.
Also, I hate mistaken identity plots, and I found the episode enjoyable in spite of it >_>

I did pick that up, but again... why? What did it have to do with anything? The episode lacked any sort of focus and just tacked a moral on the end. It would have made more sense if the episode was devoted to the message of not getting too stressed-out over things, but with this episode it was just sort of... there. I thought it was originally going to be like the flooding at Sweet Apple Acres in the Discord episode, that initially looked like something completely irrelevant to fill time, but then ended up being relevant later. I kept waiting for the breathing exercises to play some kind of role in the episode, but all we got was Twilight exclaiming, "I'm not worried! It worked!" ... That's the payoff? Really?

And yet people will blow this out of proportion and whine about it for pretty much the next few months. If not the next year.

I don't want to get into pony fights, but seriously, he's allowed to have a dissenting opinion.
well... we're getting 26 for season 4... and honestly? my brain was working on overdrive for potential awesome with this spin-off, to the point that I'm looking forward to it. Principal Celeste? Vice Principal Selene? Shining Armor, the captain of the Canterlot High Royal Guards football team? The Lunar guard being the junior varsity squad?
Sign. Me. Up.
Episode preview clip (http://www.tvguide.com/News/My-Little-Pony-Exclusive-Video-1060975.aspx)Huh, well that... actually looks pretty decent. And finally a song that has intelligent lyrics, a good tune, and doesn't feel shoehorned in (all the rest of the songs so far this season have failed at least one of those). As long as the episode can stay on-message, I'll still keep my hopes up.
Although aren't pegasi the only one's who can control weather so i'm thinking fluttershy should have gotten Dashies cutie mark
The fact that they have their original colours as their skin colours but I guess if they were all white that would create a few problems, especially with the Twilight Sparkle is black/indian and Fluttershy is a Muslim fancanon groups.

Wat?
I can't see Fluttershy as a muslim, if only because her long flowing pink hair is one of her most distinguishing physical characteristics, and that wouln't show with a head scarf.
In my headcanon she's jewish, but that's probably because she reminds me a bit of my wife.
In my headcanon, they're ponies :V:-P
Patches, you can't always expect to be able to relate perfectly to magical friggin' ponies. I don't think most people have to worry about their brother marrying an evil doppelganger. Or chaos incarnate ruining the world. Or their ruler's sister, who has been possessed by some unknown evil force coming to make the world night forever.
It has the potential to be a false ending, I thought. In other words, it seems like a conclusion, then Season 4 Episode 1 starts and reveals, no, the story for that arc is not quite over yet.
At least that's what I'm gathering by what Meghan said.
One of the things I like about FiM is that princesses are royals who actually do something other than sit around, look pretty, and have tea parties. In fact, being a princess is serious business.
In that sense, Twilight becoming a princess is less of a reward and more of a... promotion. And like all good promotions, it means she'll have a lot more responsibility to deal with.
This isn't an ending, but a new beginning.
That's good to hear, actually. Too bad I don't like the art style, or the character voices, or a lot about it.
I did like G1, though. Used to watch it as a kid.
Totally a leaked clip from new spinoff guiz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJcVZ6x3TrA)
If you're self-conscious, can't you just buy the toys off the internet? I don't think I'd have the nerve to walk into a store, pick 'em up and hand them to the cashier.

I got one of the McDonald's Mario toys that way, actually. Asking for it and buying it independently of the happy meal.
Just remember Zachski: With the brony fandom's size, you're not the only one out there gobbling up pony toys. :P

I know. I'm just surprised there's that many bronies in this part of Wisconsin XD
Also, trying to brush Luna's hair resulting in becoming crazy and magnificent all at once. The little spritely stuff is kinda neat, too. In the meantime, I've managed to contain it in a barrette. Hopefully it won't break free and devour the world.
Okay you know what?
I'm hoping some bronies leave the fandom over this. We could do with less bronies.
I honestly can't believe these people ever got into the show in the first place with the attitude they're displaying about this episode. I'm not saying everyone who is nay-saying the episode is bad, but a lot of them are just... petty and whiney. (Present company excepted, because even if I disagree, at least that opinion is well thought out)
This is a very polarizing episode, too. Most people seem to either love it or hate it, I've encountered very few people with any in-between opinion.
So I watched the finale again and watching Twilight's friends just bow to her, it irritates me. I can't give a detailed rebuttal or anything like that, but just seeing it, annoys me.
I was a little bugged by it for the same reason, but it was made better by the fact that Celestia bowed too, so it wasn't necessarily about submission to a superior. More like a sign of great respect for her accomplishment.
Plus, I'm sure the issue will be explored in greater detail next season, which I'm looking forward to.
I don't get any of the fascination with the .mov videos. At all.
They just seem... "HEY LOOK GROSS GRAPHICS AND RUDE DIALOGUE AND CHARACTERS OUT OF CHARACTER, TOTALLY FUNNIEZ"
EDIT: totally more leaked footage from new spinoff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dv4rFKoWBg)

So can I just say that while some people aren't crazy about them, I love the CMC. They especially have some of my favorite songs of the series.I like CMC, and I agree they do have some the best songs(I fucking love 'Babs Seed'). I also think Rarity and Pinkie get the best songs of the mane six.

Hopefully this doesn't put off the VA's and other staff members with interacting with fans and doing future cons.
So...I have a new fanfic idea. I was looking at Shining Armor's hair, and realized that Vinyl Scratch has much the same hair. I wanna do a fic in which they're related now. XD

Write it, and if it's good enough, odds are good it'll go up on EqD. It's at least DIFFERENT from everything else we get.
Hell, I'll help!
I won't be able to claim it as a pre-reader (due to bias) but I'd vouch for you.

So I think I'm going to do a review of Rescue at Midnight Castle. I watched it with poeticmind0189 a few nights ago, and I'd like to offer my thoughts.

Do you like Tirek??
Yeah, do not like DogSpike. He's not a pet.
They're diferent shows though. And on MLP, dogs/pets ARE inferior. Will that carry over to EqG? Don't know, but it's probably a better indicator than another, unrelated show.
It's not even the same Spike. Alternate universe rules and all.Then why not make Rarity a tomboy and Twilight a slacker?
It's not even the same Spike. Alternate universe rules and all.Then why not make Rarity a tomboy and Twilight a slacker?
MLP depicts pets one way, other shows do it another way. Different shows, different rules. Since EqG is an MLP spinoff, it stands to reason that it will probably emulate MLP rules more closely than some other unconnected show.
Thing is, is Winona going to be in EqG? If so, she'll either have to be elevated to a speaking roll like Spike, or he'll have to be reduced to a non-speaking or at least subservient roll like her, or they'll end up with some dogs that can talk and some that can't. Not that they couldn't do that (Family guy does it), but IMHO, you end up with something that doesn't smell right any way you cut it.
Since when do they have to abide by the rules of completely different and unrelated shows?

... can you seriously see Dash being prim and proper? or Gilda actually in anything OTHER than torn jeans and a t-shirt with a middle finger on it? I can't.
Though, the thought of Big Mac in a tux? nummy.

But Rainbow Dash always dresses in style!
it's a fandom thing, John. Luna's trapped on the moon, comes back, starts catching up... and trips over video games at some point. Addicted ever since.So it's just as random as that? I thought there'd be more to it.
In case any of you aren't following this, you really need to take a look at Tabitha St. Germains twitter (https://twitter.com/StTabitha), it's fucking insane.So Tara finally convinced her, eh?
Thing is, is Winona going to be in EqG? If so, she'll either have to be elevated to a speaking roll like Spike, or he'll have to be reduced to a non-speaking or at least subservient roll like her, or they'll end up with some dogs that can talk and some that can't. Not that they couldn't do that (Family guy does it), but IMHO, you end up with something that doesn't smell right any way you cut it.

oh no no no... the rumor is they're gearing up for a movie... and Season 4 is getting the full 26 episodes. They needed the lead time, from what I hear.
I came across this (http://www.roundstable.com/2013/02/04/im-a-brony-and-im-sorry/) article recently and it kinda stuck with me, after thinking about the whole Alicorn "controversy" for a bit. People starting to think the show was really for them, when it really wasn't.

Well, I've painted a pony to look like my custom OC, and am now waiting for her hair to arrive! :)
I also bought 20 ponies off eBay for dirt cheap--and today, when they arrived, I learned that the seller smokes. They REEK of cigarettes.

I'm going to watch it then read the /mlp/ reactions. At least get a laugh out of it. But seriously, jesus those eyes and lips, horrifying.
Well the show wasn't that consistent in her portrayal anyway, they had one episode where she dealt with her shyness, and then another in the same season.

Yeah, sorry. in Putting your Hoof down, Fluttershy overcame her shyness by becoming overly assertive and being a dick to everyone, at the end of the episode she was supposed to have learned that she can be assertive without being overtly agressive. then in Hurricane Fluttershy, she goes right back to being really shy.

Speaking of D&D, I was just thinking today it'd be fun to draw the Mane 6 as a D&D party. Their classes would be:
Twilight: Wizard (duh)
Apple Jack: Fighter
Rainbow Dash: Ranger
Fluttershy: Druid
Rarity: Artificer
Pinkie: Bard
Only problem is they wouldn't have a healer. Spike as a cleric, maybe?

Someone did that.Aw, dang. Oh well.
http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/
I haven't really read it, but Rarity is a rogue, (although I could personally see her as a cleric). AJ is a Ranger, which makes sense. RD is a barbarian and Spike is Twilight's familiar.
I think Spike would be a good cleric, considering he's usually helpful.
Although Celestia would likely be a deity in a D&D proxy, I would like to imagine her as a paladin. It'd actually work pretty well, if you think about it.I was thinking Shining Armor would be a perfect paladin.
I believe it's done by the same folks that are behind Darths & Droids.

Spike as a dog still annoys me.

So I can't be the only one wondering why the hell Celestia is sending Twilight through a dimensional mirror, right?
I guess that question will be answered when the movie comes out.
Spike went through the portal as well, I'm guessing it would be the same Spike.

Too funny not to post (http://mynationalistpony.tumblr.com/post/38570654681/wow)
This is probably the weirdest thing to come out of the fandom.
I actually am kinda dreading the theatrical release date, because inevitably there will be at least one story of some weird shit going down in a cinema.Oh look an excuse to post this, anyway, some guy who decided to have fun with the drama surrounding the movie over on the cracked article:
If I had any intention of seeing this in theaters, I would minimize the discomfort of my fellow moviegoers by brilliantly disguising myself in authentic little girl garb. I'm thinking a sundress; curly blonde wig; maybe I'd drag a doll around to complete the effect. This would be complemented by a three-day growth of stubble, and a smoldering stogie.
"Yeah, gimme one for the pony movie, or whatever," I'd say to the ticket clerk in a smoke-rasped Brooklyn accent, "'cause, y'know, I love rainbows and shit."
"Hey! Who Framed Roger Rabbit already did that gag, sort of!" someone would cry out.
And I would flee, utterly defeated.

I'm not quite sure what it is, but this article rubs me the wrong way. It almost has a "picking a fight" tone to me, and some of the assumptions it's making are...irritatingly sexist in their own right.
I've heard that early screenings of the movie have shown that 28% of all babies exposed to Equestria Girls spontaneously die.

So I was watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and the judge used brony when using a word in a sentence. I had to go look it up because I forgot, but the word was parvanimity (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/parvanimity). I think it was something like this:
"Jack accused his sister of parvanimity. She accused him of being a brony. Indeed, he takes his Fluttershy plushie wherever he goes."
I don't think it was exactly that, but something like that.

Fantastic. Doggy!Spike can talk. The movie's still going to maintain the humor of the show and there's a good reason for Twilight to be heading to HumanWorld after all.
I wonder what the comments say...

Wow. They have the gall to call anyone who enjoys this "[part of the] brainless brony horde"?
So much vitriol. So much accusations of "blatant marketing ploys". Have they forgotten that MLP, even the recent gen, is a "blatant marketing ploy" anyways?
Hell, most of the cartoons of the 90s, the cartoons that everyone loves, WERE BLATANT MARKETING PLOYS! And they were GOOD MARKETING PLOYS!
Holy fucking shit I hate these kinds of bronies.
This whole EqG think has made the Equestria Daily comments section un-fucking-readable. I normally don't look at them but I had a glance recently, it's like Youtube comments.
Any gameplay footage of that MMO?
would be funny if they implemented raids and stuff in that game, a group of player controlled ponies taking down a manticore or something.

I'm afraid to read it out of fear that it might break me.
She walked up to the old man and laughed at him. "Now you can tell me 'told you so' since I have climbed that mountain. I have done something that no one thought I could. I am going to post the photo of me on the summit onto my blog. My readers are going to be very excited about that!" Fluttershy said, before leaving the old man before he could reply.
"The main rules to the board game they were playing was this: firstly, everyone chooses one of Jesus' followers who then, secondly, take turns travelling around the Roman Empire converting people to Christianity. At first you can only convert Jews, but as your convert rating goes up, you can convert other people such as gentiles and pagans. Each turn, the person rolls two dices, which shows how many spaces they can move. Whenever they land onto a town, which has a small population, or a city, which has a bigger population, the player roles two dices, and if they roll a number more than the number written on the city, they convert the entire city. Each person converted is one point towards the convert rating. If they fail to convert a city or town the player can remain on the town for the next turn, but they have to roll another dice, which if they roll a six, the town will kill the player – forcing them to create a new follower, with its convert rating renewed back to zero, starting at Jerusalem. If they do get kill, they get to roll another dice, and if they roll an even number, God destroys that town or city. If the town or city is not destroyed, and a player lands on that city or town, they also have to roll a dice, and if it rolls an odd number, they die also, but they also get to roll the dice to decide if the city or town gets destroyed. The game continues until every town or city is converted or destroyed. I hope you like this game – I just came up with it right now."

BTW, other people here probably already know this because they're better connected than me, but... I watched a recent Q&A session with John DeLancie yesterday where he said that he'd just done a recording session for MLP, so we'll be seeing some Discord in Season 4.
@ Hof: No harm, no foul. We're all friends here.
@ B: Ah, so Lavender Unicorn Syndrome a-plenty, eh? Are we talking "so purple we can taste Twilight's fuzzy plot" kinda bad?
"Be unobtrusive!" snapped Fluttershy precipitously; staring at Spike like a parent would do toward their child when such juvenile is behaving impishly.
The edict implementation organization got there within a minute or so, since Ponyville was not a surely immense municipality.
Fluttershy was on tenterhooks that he would stop, but he kept moving agitatedly, which each movement creating more the guard more to cognizance. "Let us keep our contour squat, until Twilight Sparkle emanates."
"I had to get the coinage. I plagiarized from the Church's endowment. We are sure to make it back on donations though, so do not apprehension about that," she said. "Have you heard?"
It was going to be a large sum to pay...
"How dare you say such a…" before she could finish, Rainbow Dash shrieked and squealed, and then fell over. He had just had a heart spasm, sent from God himself to instil everyone their blunders of their conducts. "NEVER AGAIN," the pony lastly unremitting, "YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS CRAWL ACTION"
YES!!. Discord is coming back.If you do, we need pics.

If they can do this, why not Ponyformers?
I'm still willing to give it a shot. That being said, most of the fic pre-readers aren't looking forward to the inevitable EqG fics. I smell bans coming the first time somepony tries sneaking a clopfic past us.
I want to say that I would never understand playing a game to watch something on Youtube. I want to say that.
But the sad truth is, I do understand it.
If they can do this, why not Ponyformers?Transponies on the other hand, is a completely different thing.

2. Having to always be on your best behavior.
3. Knowing simple etiquette that alot of us other people don't know (which utensil is used for salad, steak, dessert, when they are all lined up.)

It's not so much that they think of all dragons as "primitive and hostile", it's that even gentle giants are scary simply on the virtue of them being giants who could kill you without even meaning to.I know that but the cartoon always portrays them as being evil and greedy by heart, it would be nice if they had an episode that gave more character to the dragons.
Finally broke down and sought out the Equestria Girls movie online. It wasn't too bad.I still can't get over how creepy the characters look.

Hasbro’s beloved horsies transform into high school hussies in the new movie “My Little Pony: Equestria Girls” — and New York moms are braying at the thought of the popular TV characters losing their manes and tails for mini-skirts and hooker boots.

So there will be a pony convention here in Finland next year, and Tabitha St. Germain will be there. for that alone I'm seriously considering going.I'd suggest meeting but I'm just not that into MLP.

Weird, because MLP:FiM itself could be considered pretty feminist (while still having a traditionally feminine aesthetic, what with the bright colors and cutesy flowers and so on).
(which makes it even weirder that there ARE sexist brony MRA hipsters out there. What, it's not enough to actively dislike women, you have to appropriate female entertainment* as well?)
*Yes, Faust wanted the series to be enjoyable for all ages/sexes, however its intended audience is young girls, who seldom have anything decent produced for them.

Despite having said this a couple times before, this is the one thing that will always bother me about a majority of MLPfans: the sexism and the fact that it runs on feminist philosophy, something despised by these people because they run on these cruel strawman memes from Republicans and other socially conservative/regressive folks who have been feeding them this bullshit for years.
This show should serve to keep them in touch with their feminine side, but instead because they're heterosexual, cissexual males they run on one of the memes that also makes them not only so sexist but also hostile towards others; the fact that the three corresponds to the unrealistic image of "manliness", something I beg every young man in this society to stop subscribing to and its image to be rendered to an irrelevant, unreachable fantasy.
You are also hearing this from a cissexual male (more accurately, a sexually inconsistent young male) who has been mentioned to be "manly" several times and because I despise this image and being tied to someone so inconsiderate to others because of this "because we're men" codswallop I purposely rebel from my stepfather's image of me.
All and all, I just wish most fans of this show aren't such meatheads who have to redefine a show targeted for younger girls (though Lauren Faust, married to the great Craig McCracken) as masculine when it's not all. These men seriously can't get in touch with their feminine side and I really hate them. I just in general really hate the shit that has to come out of this show because most of its fans are so insecure.
I remember when I first watched "The Last Round-Up", when I first saw Cherries Jubilee I thought "Oh no! Applejack joined a brothel!" Then I remembered "No, wait, this is a kids show." Never had I been more relieved to make that observation.

Apparently you better watch out mentioning ponies in the workplace, that shit can get you fired (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/09/losing-job-to-ponies-do-you-bring.html)Wow, that's really fucked up. This is why I don't talk about ponies (or just about anything from my private life) at work. I don't think my bosses would fire me over it, but you never know how people would react.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwxuMMlAbAQThat was so sweet! I gotta admit, I have a little (platonic!) crush on Flufflepuff.
I was talking about this with a friend of mine and she suggested that the guy is better off not working there anymore. If your coworkers will harass you over something you do then it is a sign that you do not fit in. Personally I don't think that firing those who are bullied is the proper response to bullying at work but she does have a point, if all of your coworkers are assholes then you will not enjoy that job.Apparently you better watch out mentioning ponies in the workplace, that shit can get you fired (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/09/losing-job-to-ponies-do-you-bring.html)Wow, that's really fucked up.

Anybody seen those Return of Harmony episodes in Japanese? the guy that does Discord is fantastic.Chiba Shigeru. He did Kefka's voice in Final Fantasy Dissidia. I know Discord was specifically written as a Q expy, but damn if he doesn't work just as well as Kefka, too. XD
Coming soon to Build-a-Bear: Fluttershy!
My heart just skipped a beat.
When Twilight went all alicorny, there was a lot of speculation that she was immortal now and would outlive her friends. The writers assured us that no, Twilight wasn't going to outlive her friends. The fan reaction was "Phew, she's not immortal." But I was thinking, "That's not what they said. It's also possible that they'll ALL eventually become immortal."
And now a picture of a chinese toy of Fluttershy with a horn has been leaked. Show inaccurate foreign knockoff, or alicorn six?
Personally, I hope they don't go that route, because making that many alicorns would kind of cheapen it. Also, I think it made sense for Twilight, but wouldn't fit with the other characters' personalities & character arcs.
I thought Larson was a lady.
Season 4 premier is going to be a back-to-back 2 parter (http://press.discovery.com/media/ugc/press/My_Little_Pony_Premiere_Announcement_Release_10-23-13_FINAL.pdf)
Is it time to get hype?

Anybody know when it'll air? Just wondering if it'll be up online before the Doctor Who 50th special airs here.
...I fail to see what's wrong with it. I find it incredibly well-written and accurate.
Maybe I missed something? :S

Who is that in your avatar, who are they cosplaying as, and WHY ARE THEY SO AWESOME!?

It occurred to me that although Discord was manipulating Twilight and getter her all ticked off, he was actually steering her towards doing the right thing. Could that be Discord's new role? To help the Mane 6, but in the most troll-tastic ways possible? That would be great.

Say, is anyone here at all concerned over the amount of (In-universe) attention twilight is getting with her wings?
I mean, she wasn't exactly mentally stable to begin with and the stress of limb implantation combined with the stress of all the attention she's getting might be just the trigger she needs to drive herself on a murderous rampage of death!
(Yes, they would totally include something like that in a show made for little girls.)

Funny, we've seen the reverse as a fanfic. It's what we refer to as 'Hitlerjack'... because AJ fully implies in THAT trainwreck of a story that Rarity's going to be raped to death, Twilight will suffer the same fate, and odds are good, so would Sweetie Belle.

Waited til today to watch the new episode. The ending was predictable and contrived, but all in all, I liked it a lot. Rarity had the best part, IMO. Still getting used to Twilight flying. Loved the tidbit about Luna liking slides.

Re-watching the episode, Spike just can't catch a break, can he? :PI'd be okay with the cruelty-as-humor if MLP was more set up to be more of an Edd, Ed, N Eddy type dark comedy but in the MLP sugar bowl it just comes off as mean.
My first thought? "The people that really truly like Uncle Grandpa are probably the same ones that got pissed off over how Derpy was portrayed in The Last Roundup."The only place characters that obnoxiously Gary Sue-ish deserve be is in a Foundation/GOC termination log.
Me? I find it so lolrandom that I'm of the opinion that even Pinkie would be put off by it.
Ask and though shall receive http://quadren4.deviantart.com/art/SCP-Containment-is-magic-Page-2-322452010... now I want to write a 'Pinkie Meets The SCP' fic... because the one Twilight fic we got died on the vine.My first thought?

I have no idea what to think of Steven Universe, and I'm not sure I want to know O_o
I do know that I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of Uncle Grandpa before I came to the conclusion that, while I find absurdity inherently funny, Uncle Grandpa was just too absurd to be funny.
Looks like they finally released a soundtrack on iTunes.
Just saw new episode. solid 7/10, bretty good. Rainbow completely spazzing out does get a little annoying after a while. Pinkie is still the greatest.I thought it sucked, the whole thing consisted of that guy sitting their until the end where he turned he head towards the camera and started screaming.
It might be that I'm functioning on a low-sleep schedule but I don't know what you just said...
But My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is pure gold! There was no other show that helped me feel better about my life! Before, I was complaining about my overwhelming chode covering up my GG Allen penis and how I'll live in my mother's basement all my lif, never fucking bitches ever. Now with My Little Pony (THIS IS NOT A FUCKING LITTLE GIRL'S SHOW, IT'S MANLY HAS HELL. THE NEW MANLINESS. DON'T ANY OF YOU FAGGOTS TELL ME IT'S A GIRL'S SHOW, CUZ YOU'RE A FAGGOT YOURSELF) I feel better about my life. Twilight is my waifu, k? So is Fluttershy. NO ONE TALKS SHIT ABOUT HER. Those poor future kids will never feel the same way with Gravity Falls, Wonder Over Yonder and Stephen Universe. FUCK THOSE FAGGOT SHOWS. My Little Pony is where it's all at. BRB, fapping Twilight again.
(I'm convinced that with a post like this, I would fit right at home in a site like Something Awful, but fuck paying a $10 fee to be member, let alone its elitist nature.)
So, when the gold ring got flung into the fireplace, was I the only one half expecting elvish writing to appear on it?

And you gotta admit, guys. Daring Do being legit and passing her exploits off as fiction? Azzie (because fuck spelling out his name) being added to the 'rogue's gallery' of baddies? Dash being INCLUDED in the new book?!
... oh yeah. It was dork-tastic.
... ... don't tell me none of you weren't dying of laughter when Dash and Twi were having the canon argument.
Would love to see "Azzie" make more appearances on the show, one cool looking villain.

A bit of random speculation/head-cannon that came to me today:
Snowflake (a.k.a. Roid Rage) has the same disability as Scootaloo. Bodybuilding isn't just his special talent, it's the only way he's able to generate enough power to fly with his tiny wings.
He might even be related to Scoots, a cousin, perhaps. That's how the CMC not only know him, but are on good enough terms to get him to help them train, despite the fact that he was clearly not thrilled about it.
good point, but I think those operated on Rule of Funny.
you mean she isn't on a permanent sugar high already?
... that being said, I'd really like a calm, relaxing slice of life episode around Pinkie, where she's just running Sugarcube Corner for the day. It'd be a bottle episode, sure, but it'd be pleasant to have an episode with almost no conflict for once.
Mane-iac has a fucking great villain laugh, reminds me of Mark Hamill's Joker.
those pony mash-up videos with his polka songs,Whaaaaa?! Link?

I liked it a lot! I liked that the writer paired up two characters who don't interact much, and that the conflict wasn't black-and-white. "Over a Barrel" did that too, but "Bats!" did it better if you ask me.I agree. I think the conflict and the overall episode was better than Over a Barrel. I never much liked that episode.
I like vampony Fluttershy more than Alicorn Twilight.

I would like to point out the resolution of this episode was a shitty one from an ecological perspective.
If you give those bats easy access to food they'll end up becoming unable to find food elsewhere, so if there is ever a disease that takes out a significant portion of the apple crop then the bats will all starve. Another possibility is that the bats will end up overpopulating and killing off other species.

A Rarity episode? Was there an extra episode this week that I missed?
I'm surprised nobody's posted in this thread about the episode. It wasn't too bad, but I can already see how people might not like it. Then again I'm not sure that's saying much. I don't hold the delusion that it's possible to have an episode that everybody in the fandom enjoys these days.I always love me a Rarity episode, and thought this one was generally decent. There were a couple of pacing issues (half the stuff at the train station at the beginning could have been axed in favor of spending more time on her transition into a slave driver), and the execution of the moral felt more along the lines of "Bribery gets you stuff!"
Several episodes from now, Spike will lose it and go on a shooting spree.
Please, for the love of Celestia, no more Spike episodes. Just, no. By the time "Spike at your Service" happened, I wanted to slap the writer(s) responsible. Please, please, please, no more Spike. Do an Applejack epp, or more Rarity, or even more Pinkie Pie. Do one about the background ponies, for heaven's sake![/rant]Several episodes from now, Spike will lose it and go on a shooting spree.
I really want to see him stop getting kicked around. I seriously want to see him go... well, not 'Secret of my Excess' berserk, but enough downright pissed that he finally gets EVERYPONY'S attention, Celestia and Luna included, and just give them a piece of his mind.
I actually liked most of the Spike-specific episodes ._.So did I (at least most of them, Spike at your Service rubbed me a wrong way). What I don't like is how common they are.
The Brony documentary is the dumbest thing, because it was made and paid for by people with an overwhelming bias towards portraying the community in as positive a light as possible
There’s nothing in there about the time when Milk wrote about some negative experiences she had at a pony convention, and was subsequently flooded by hundreds upon hundreds of death and rape threats (The Daily Dot wrote an article about that one if you’re interested)
Nothing about how BronyCon was originally going to allow open sale of pornography despite being an all-ages My Little Pony-convention
There’s nothing about how one of the most enduringly popular fan-creations is a comic based entirely around the idea that rape is funny
And I will bet any amount of money that if it was being filmed now, there would be nothing in it, about the (to the best of my knowledge still on-going) campaign to bully, humiliate, and silence a teenage girl trying to turn the fandom into a safer place (http://hcandersen.tumblr.com/post/72568207085)

That's right, Celestria is re-fabricated as a serial rapist, by name molesting various other characters of the show.

Slight tangent, but another thing I'd love to reappear is the Equestria Rodeo that was a plot point in The Last Roundup. At the very least, it would give Applejack a shot at more character development and it's a good counterpart for the Crystal Empire in terms of former-oneshot-ness.

Apparently APM was shut down because of a C&D from Hasbro. But the author was planning on ending it anyways, it just ended a little sooner than he intended.
He doesn't seem particularly upset about it, and I didn't really even care outside of "I do not want to read this" so yeah.
That being said, the actual rape jokes made by other bronies disturbs me.
I liked the name Bulk Biceps, too.
Also I liked that we actually got to see his personality this episode.
HE HAS NO INDOOR VOICE
THIS IS HOW HE TALKS
ALL THE TIME
AND IT'S STRANGELY ADORABLE
What a bunch of morons. Rape jokes don't cause rape, rapists cause rape.

Isn't ED's shtick to say absurdly offensive shit just for the sake of being absurdly offensive? Like, they don't have standards and don't give a shit if the stuff they say crosses the line?
What a bunch of morons. Rape jokes don't cause rape, rapists cause rape.
The basic argument is that when people laugh at rape jokes, we're telling potential rapists that it's OK to rape, that this particular form of violent assault is a joke. So they're less likely to restrain themselves when they see an opportunity to rape someone.

Also, is there an Equestria Girls 2 in the pipeline? time to get hype, or time to panic? (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/01/unconfirmed-next-equestria-girls-movie.html)
if they're going to make another movie, I wish they'd make one about the actual ponies.
Smell that? that's horseapples.
Or the smell of a 'special snowflake'. Same thing.
I think the fact that men felt so insecure in their masculinity that hey had to make a noticeably-male moniker for people who are fans of a show about My Little Pony (which is an inherently feminine program) was one of the earliest signs that the fandom might be in trouble.
Nothing against you, Jack. I'm talking about the tumblrs. It looks and smells like "We're not like everyone else in our fandom! Believe us! REALLY!"
Face it, having come from the furry fandom, it's a matter of putting yourself out there of leading by example of what not to do as part of a fan base, rather than waving a flag (metaphorically speaking) and saying that you're really not as bad as those guys on either side of you.

Couldn't really get through the whole video, the fake RedLetterMedia voice got kind of annoying.
There's only one analyst I like, and that's Mr. Enter. His analysis and defense of "Magical Mystery Cure" is one of my favorites of his. Silver Quill's pretty good too. But the "big ones" are pretty bitchy.
Same.
I have little patience for rants (I refuse to dignify it by calling it a "critique") of this nature in the first place. 5 minutes is generally the most I give it. The fact that this rant has been separated across four videos means that I don't even have the patience to watch 5 seconds of it.

Well, given that you haven't even seen it, you wouldn't know if it's just a rant. It brings up a lot of valid points, and EQG is full of flaws which is why the review is so long.
You know, as much as I enjoyed the wackiness, I gotta say that the parts of the episode meant to tug at your heartstrings were my favorites.I thought the message in this one was good. They were kinda setting it up like Pinkie was going to defeat Cheese and prove herself the best, but then they flipped it around and were like, no, you're BOTH great party ponies and you don't have to compete with each other. I liked that.
Side note, I counted 21 candles on Rainbow's cake. Perhaps the mane six are a bit older than fans have estimated (mid-late teens).I'd always estimated them to be about college-aged myself. After all, most of them live on their own, they all have jobs, etc.

As everyone else has said, lots of good call-backs and gags in this one (I especially liked Pinkie singing in Spanish and Cheese stealing the smile song), but there was one minor disappointment for me. The song at the end would have been perfect for a Vinyl Scratch cameo.

After this episode is there any doubt that Pinkie is truly the best pony?
Haha wow okay that's one way to see it, all I think of her is the well-intentioned if oblivious, goofy comic relief. I've known people like Pinkie.
"I have little faith that this lesson will stick" How many times has Fluttershy had an episode dealing with her shyness? There's some continuity in the show but the writers are clearly willing to let things slide if they want.

Well, there's that. There's also the fact that deeply ingrained personality flaws are something that don't just magically go away because you learned a lesson.
The running fan theory is that it ties the show into the 'Rainbow Power' toy line they're doing...
They should have an episode where Pinkies behavior ends up hurting someone, and in the end she learns to still be happy but not be a control freak.After this episode is there any doubt that Pinkie is truly the best pony?
.... Yes?(click to show/hide)
I'm looking forward to it. Then again, I enjoyed Equestria Girls (even if the ending was a little iffy).
The movie was worse than Hitler and it made me cry myself to sleep where I wet mah bed.I'm looking forward to it. Then again, I enjoyed Equestria Girls (even if the ending was a little iffy).
Same.
I'm really hoping they just don't pitch Spike's crush on Rarity over a cliff. I'm actually hoping that Rarity, in the end, turns him down, and tells him she already has someone. He's not much of a stallion, or even much of a pony, but she loves him all the same, and then sweeps Spike up into a hug.D'awwww!
Today's episode was really damned strong. Bravo, show people! You did a number of things that impressed me.
1. You portrayed the frustration of unrequited crushes well.
2. You did a good job showing just how off-putting/creepy infatuated people can be.
yyyyyeah, we over on EqD aren't sure what to think yet... we'd mostly like a movie where they stay ponies, thank you very much.

Totally random confession. I don't like the Twilight/Flash pairing, but not because "he's stealing my waifu" or because they're not right for each other. I don't like it because their color schemes clash.I had the same reaction. My friend called me racist.

(it's admittedly a petty complaint, and one I could probably overlook if their relationship had been stronger, but seeing as it wasn't... purple and orange just don't go together. x_x)

You know, as long as they've embraced the whole "PP is a dick" thing why don't they go the whole way? Pinkie Pie tells AJ she has a letter from her parents, Pinkie Pie makes sends a fake letter from Princess Celestia to Twi telling her that she's a terrible student, Pinkie Pie making Sweetie Belle think Rarities dead, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Perhaps I'm not. either way, all these would make better episodes than "Mysterious Mare Do Well" ;D

Actually, that's a running fan theory with decent credence behind it. Not exactly implausible.
Eh, didn't like the new episode too much. maybe my dislike of CMCcrusader episodes blinded me to the more positive aspects of it, but I just wasn't feeling it.

The episode wasn't anything special but all the Breezies were adorbz.I Know, that part was great.

I don't know why I occasionally come to this thread. Perhaps it is bile interest in the fandom itself and how fans in this forum follow this show. I myself - I have said this before and I will say it again - tried to like this show because I do not totally despise of anything cute or "kawaii" - as those damned "Weebs" have been saying since their obsession with Naruto and Bleach and those lousy animesque shows Cartoon Network used to air (save for Teen Titans, which I only hope was as good as I remembered it) referred to everything "cute" as.Dude, have a snickers.
While I was unable to enjoy the show thoroughly all I can say is that I feel sorry for all the decent fans of the show, and even more sorry for those who still use that horrible "Brony" label. I really, really, genuinely do. I can say this because the worst fandoms I am in are the Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon series.
Much like how the fandumb of MLP:FiM sexualize its female cast from Hell and back (I still fail to understand Chrystalis fans who non-jokingly want to fuck her), the Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon fandoms are just as bad about this (The Pokémon fandom is particularly bad about this), and the terrible OCs.
All I am saying is that the reason is Edge of Perspective, which is why I am not anywhere as hostile as most people I know (who dislike this show so much). I am in love with two video game series with horrible fandoms. But even so, these works are decades old. This show is almost four years old, and I simply find it inscrutable how this fandom spiraled out of control so soon.
AND THIS IS A SHOW THAT TEACHES YOUNG GIRLS TO VALUE THEMSELVES FOR WHO THEY ARE AND OTHERS, AND THERE IS NO REASON IT HAS TO HAVE A SOCIOPATHIC FANDOM THAT DEMONIZES NON-WHITES, FEMINISM AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS, HOMOSEXUALITY, TRANSGENDERED PEOPLE, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HANDICAPS, THE BODY TYPES OF OTHERS, NON-FANS, ALMOST EVERYTHING. TELL ME WHY!? OUTSIDE OF 4CHAN AND THAT HORRIBLE SPIN-OFF BOARD /MLP/.
Excuse me. The fact that a show like this is dominated by sociopaths, notably hyper-masculine, insecure bullies, enrages me beyond comprehension.
-RAGE-Honestly, you're expecting the honorable fuckwads of 4chan and /mlp/ to act like something other than /b/tards for what reason? This is the internet. Nothing is sacred, everything is pornography.
But really seriously:Most people probably don't put much thought into it. It's just what caught on as a nickname for pony fans outside the target demographic.

I find it so fucking hilarious that these people are crying over this shit.
Once again, why identify as a "Brony", when it was originally an derogatory term to define these homophobic, insecure fuckwits when you can use other names?

Was Brony specifically used to imply that the MLP fans are homophobes? I got the impression that it was a reference to adult (male) fans of MLP and no more. It was an insult only if an adult person liking a show meant for children is concidered to be a "bad" thing. So if you don't think that liking a cartoon series is bad the insult stops working.

This recent episode brought up a interesting question.(click to show/hide)
Once again, why identify as a "Brony", when it was originally an derogatory term to define these homophobic, insecure fuckwits when you can use other names?
Brony is the term that stuck around at the beginning of the fandom, generally once a "term" for the fandom is accepted it generally stays forever. It's interesting as we seem to have the opposite views on what people who designate themselves as bronies act like. As I've been on Second Life (http://i.imgur.com/M7LQ79e.png) basically every day for the past 8 months the general "brony" there is usually someone who rejects any sexual or darker content in the fandom and basically exists in a hugbox. That is usually what I commonly see however not all of them are like that and some being rather cool once you get to know them.
Anyways, direct question Alehksunos.
Do you believe that all social justice advocates should abandon being called "social justice advocates" due to radical fundamentalists that make up a vocal part of their base? If not, why is it that you do not apply this to other terms of groups?

Sorry to go a bit off topic here but does anyone know where I can stream MLP episodes other than on Dailymotion and Youtube? Because Dailymotion keeps having to buffer and reload and Youtube takes down the episodes.

Yes R34 exists, but I never heard about Dexter infuriated fans making disgusting porn of that one episode that was written by a kid purely because the makers of Dexter's Lab dared to have an actual kid involved with the creation of an episode.

That goes for any fandom. Bronies are just vocal and stupidly proud about it. Why, I have no idea.
The other optimistic interpretation is that they didn't realize it was a kid's OC.
