Bro-hoof.
Who else loves the show?
-
I've been watching FiM since the series started. I love it to pieces.
Admittedly, I never liked it much as a kid. The original show was garbage meant only to shovel as many pallet-swapped ponies as possible on young girls. I never owned a single toy related to it.
But this new series? Man, it's everything a cartoon should be. It has adorable art, and actually has real characterization and stories to tell.
I seriously need to find some plushies to buy... especially Rainbow Dash. Who is obviously Best Pony. (Preemptive strikes FTW)
-
I'm a Fluttershy guy, myself.
-
It was only a matter of time before a pony thread was remade on the new forums. XD
Yeah, I love the show. I'm also part of a group of fans in my state, but haven't really been able to attend any of the meetings because most of the group lives on the other side of the state, and I can't afford to travel.

B-Man: I MADE the original thread, thank you!

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.

While it's kinda a spoiler of sorts, I have a scene for you to view and hopefully laugh at. This is by far one of my favorite scenes. XD

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 never said you were judging it, and I admit that the fanbase is quite unexpected. I was just putting in a scene to maybe give you an idea of what the show can be like.
-
I would be more interested in hearing someone explain what the appeal is for them than attempt to discern it for myself. Quite frankly, I know that it will never appeal to me. I will not be able to comprehend the attraction from my perspective, so it would be nice to hear someone involved explain it from their perspective.
-

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.
-
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.
- 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.
-
Not complaining. Just expressing a thought. There is a difference, you know. And when i find things incomprehensible, I have this tendency to ask those who don't to explain it. And thanks for the answers. I still don't get it, but now I know why some people do.
-
Sandy: A lot of it (at least for me and mine) is that... well, mostly the previously mentioned "doesn't treat the viewers like idiots" bit. Throw in the actually good songs, some clever jokes that give nods to the old fanbase that grew up with it in the 80's that are parents now... it really surprised a lot of us 80's kids.
-
The thing about Friendship is Magic is that the ponies AREN'T gushing over friendship. In fact, the only importance friendship has is that it happens to fuel magic. However, other than that, they are just friends. They act like real friends would (well, if your friends happened to be a magical unicorn and a flying pegasus)
Twilight Sparkle is a deadpan snarker, like a friendlier, less brooding Raven from Teen Titans (same VA, too)
The show actually deals with some serious issues, sometimes. Other times, it deals with minor issues.
The weekly aesop is often poked fun at. And indeed, becomes the entire focus of one episode where Twilight goes literally insane because she doesn't have an aesop to report. And the aesops even become a plot device in one episode, the second of a two-parter, where they actually make sense as a plot device, and aren't hammered in.
Much of the music is aimed as much at the parents, being based off of music that THEY would have heard. "Art of the Dress" in particular is excellent, based off of a different song from a movie (or play, I don't know the details)
In short, Sandman, while it may be based off of a franchise that did have a lot of gushing ponies, the show is more like... more like...
...Huh, I'm having a hard time finding a cartoon to compare it to. It's a slice-of-life cartoon series with about four episodes that have adventure to it. And the cartoon doesn't even take itself too seriously. Hell, an animation error became the most popular pony in the show, affectionately known as Derpy Hooves by the fanbase. And Season 2's developers know this, hence why they started making her a cameo in every episode... and then lampshaded this fact by having her briefly hog the spotlight in the most recent episode.
And I am going on too long about this, so I'm gonna quiet down now.
-

What sold my brother was that they had to deal with a fuckin' manticore in the second part of the first episode.
Yeah, I consider a manticore to be pretty serious.

YAY!!! PONIES!!! I'm a proud member of both the cult of Pinkie Pie & Derpy Hooves :D

I like it 'cause it's cute, purty, and isn't Spongebob Squarepants (the later seasons sucked hard) or Family Guy lack-of-quality.
And because Spike is the most adorable dragon EVER. *pinches his cheek*

I was a fan of MLP when I was a wee little girl(I still have my ponies from the 80's). I think G4(MLP:FIM) is a great improvement over the other generations. It's not really all that "girly" in nature, look how 2 of the mane 6 are "tomboys"(both Rainbow Dash & Applejack).
-
I like the fact that they tackle issues that are normally reserved for "menfolk" (such as labor and extreme sports) but do so without blatantly being "I'M A GIRL DOING GUY THINGS, LOVE ME"
-
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?
-
All of them.

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. ;)
For an Applejack fix, you would want “Applebuck Season"‚ “Look Before You Sleep"‚ “Fall Weather Friends", and “Over a Barrel" from season 1 (episodes 4, 8, 13, and 21, respectively). Season two has “Sisterhooves Social", (episode 5), which is primarily a Rarity and Sweetie Belle episode, but features Applejack and Apple Bloom rather prominently.
The best ensemble episodes are the two season premiers (each is a two parter), “The Best Night Ever†(season 1, episode 26), and “Hearth's Warming Eve" (season 2, episode 11). “Winter Wrap-Up" (season 1, episode 11) is also pretty popular.
My personal favorite is “May the Best Pet Win!" (season 2, episode 7). It's a Rainbow Dash episode, but that song just gets me every time!
But, yeah, I otherwise gotta agree with Zachski. Watch 'em all, and find your own favorites!
-
So yeah, I don't have much to say right now. The only reason I came here to post was to remind everyone that the new episode is this Saturday.
-
And we're getting two AJ episodes in a row! *happydance*

I just hope Hasbro posts it up on their site. With episodes getting yanked from YouTube, and me not being able to afford cable (hence no Hub), I won't be able to bask in AJ's awesomeness otherwise. :'(

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

Ah well. That's not gonna stop me from enjoying ponies.

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.

That's one thing that's nice about this show. They can manage to deliver an Aesop while deviating from the formula. Also, family lessons do count as friendship lessons, courtesy of episode 5.

Man, Diamond Tiara is even more of a bitch than she was in season 1.
But Granny Smith as the founder of Ponyville is just awesome. :3 Badass grannies FTW!

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.

Ah, right.
So I loved this episode not only for the story, but for the little touches. The zap apples had some awesome affects, the "idea lightbulb" bit with the lamp was damned clever, and seeing the fillies sleep through Filthy's presentation was highly amusing. I especially found Silver Spoon and Sweetie Belle drooling to be funny, as well as Scootaloo's book faceplant. Ya gotta love the work that the entire MLP crew put into this.
-
1. Diamond Tiara needs a fucking smackdown
2. I want some zap apples
3. Granny Smith is the coolest granny ever, I claim her as mine. ;D
-
My favorite parts of the episode* were some of the reactions. When Granny Smith started singing, and everyone in the background startled, with Dr. Whooves in the foreground. And then when she tapers off her song to see the pots and pans, and the "...Really?" look that the shopkeeper gives her before suddenly going "Oh wait, customer, WELCOME!!"
Also, Scootaloo calling Applebloom a dictionary. And then turning a light on with her head.
In fact, facial expressions were at an all time hilarious this episode.
(*fun fact: I wrote "apple" instead of "episode" at first)
-
I found
today's yesterday's episode epic enough to vote for in the poll on EqD to narrow down the possible episodes for the mare-athon. Currently, it's tied in 20th place with "Bridle Gossip."
-
as I attended BroNYcon and was there for the screening of the episode... there's nothing quite like two things:
1. 500 ponies singing along to the theme.
2. 500 ponies dying of laughter when Scootaloo does the dictionary line.

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.

Her name is Gilda. As far as one shot characters, I don't know who I'd like to see back. I think seeing the cast of "Over a Barrel" again would be interesting, but I'm not sure how they'd work that into a plot.

Yeah, they live in a different town, and that episode drew quite a few complaints.

Me too, that would be awesome
-
I want to see Discord come back, get this power nerfed, and eventually become a friend to the ponies.
Hell, in an RP I did which involved a visit to Equestria, there was an alternate dimension where Discord was a good guy, and that the balance between chaos and order was just as vital as the balance between day and night. This dimension got destroyed by the real Discord who was superpowered by the Corruption that was spreading through the multiverses.
Ironically, it was the alternate Discord who popped in front of the heroes, screwed with them, and made them go to Equestria in the first place. He was still a puppet master, but working for good rather than evil.

And besides, we're already past Equestria. Sure, we're taking Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Alt!Discord with us onto the future worlds, buuuuut it's not MLP focused anymore X3
Sure was a fun RP though. We actually had a crossover with ILLBLEED in it.

Every episode is on youtube.
I think it is as good as if not better than PPG (the creator worked on that show) and better than many new shows today.
I really like how episodes are 22 minutes instead of 11.

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

Brace for Pony genetic theory vs Mrs. Cake is a cheating whore memes/fan art/fan fics. ;D
-
I saw this one punnett square chart which had the genes for unicorn, pegasus, and earth work in a rock-paper scissors way.
-
I saw that one too. BTW: I belong to the camp of bronies that believe that Fluttershy has some Earth pony in her.

Exactly :D

Sounds pretty reasonable. I'm sure the other characters have different blood in them. It's pretty much inevitable.
I was going to make a fic where an earth pony and a pegasus pony have a child with one wing, but I guess that's been tossed :P.

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.

-
Well, that's the general explanation, is recessive genes...

Yeah, as conversation seems to be suggesting, this would make an awesome fanfic idea, that's even now backed up by canon, but only if we take the Cakes info at face value.

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.

"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.

*Cough* I actually kinda like this show. Pinkie Pie is pretty bloody cool. But I'm still at the start of season 2.

Andrea Libman (Pinkie and Fluttershy in the show) is cute and adorable in person, too, but make her upset and you will quickly understand how Flutterrage came to be.

Pumpkin Cake looks like Mr. Cake, so I'm guessing he was just worried all that swinging he and Mrs. Cake had done had resulted in not-his-babbies.
Which Pound might still be, depending on whether dark manes and eyes are dominant or recessive in this world's biology. Pumpkin looks like her Daddy, though, albeit with blue eyes.

Hey, I'm still waiting for a full-on Fluttershy episode this season.

I actually watched some episodes of MLP a while back. (First season and a bit into the second...) and the show is ok but then I just lost my interest in it.
Anyway while ago I spotted a thread about MLP on another forum (which is mostly dedicated to historical re-enactment and armour making) so curiously I went to take a look if bronies had infiltrated that site as well. The thread began with some guys complaining about the show and the men watching it. Apparently bronies are a symptom of the "emasculation" and "pussification" of the male gender... That and closet gays.
Anyway lots of whining about the whole "emasculation" thing and few sensible comments before a total derailment but it did have a few funny comments:
"Breaking down in the face of the experience of enduring the horrors of war and breaking down while watching My Little Pony are two entirely fucking different things my friend."
The most vocal opponent of MLP declares that he likes Phineas and Ferb.
"It's gotten much, MUCh worse recently. ANd yeah, it does vary from school to school. But I just watched a friends kid VERY NEARLY end up a sex offender (he's 11) cause he slipped while playing tag in gym class and snapped a girls waistband. Yeah. That's it." This is a lie right? I mean it can't be real can it?
When a brony does appear and says that he is also a former cop and a SWAT member (and dresses up like a medieval warrior for battles) the response is:
"They're talking about prostrate cancer now girly man."
and a link to:

Some of those names are suprisingly similar.

Some people are scared to watch it for the same reason they buy expensive sports cars and all that crap. They're compensating for their tiny penis.

The original, Generation 1, My Little Pony.
The orange pony is the original Applejack.

Oh, and if I didn't need to go to class soon, I'd totally watch that clip.

Very silly. :)

I just saw Midnight Castle, which inspired a few characters from this show. I totally think they should have Tirek as a villain.
-
Ah, memories... I grew up with this. Good times.
And they can't use Tirek. Copyright issues.
-
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.

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.

So while others have popped up both in the featured and the vote page, my philosiraptor just sits there, not getting any other exposure than the limited exposure it can get here and in a small FB group. *sigh* I would share it other ways, but I'd really appreciate it if they didn't just totally ignore it.
-
Sorry, B-Man, but I have no idea what it takes to actually get on the vote page.
-
Okay, so I have a question. I can understand Memebase going all spoiler on our asses, but why did EqD post a picture of Pinkie that's apparently a spoiler for this Saturday with this whole "I Love Lucy" tribute thingy?
Grr. Fuck spoilers. D:<

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.
*sighs and facehooves*

I avoid stuff that's clearly marked, but this was in the goddamn DRAWFRIEND for today. It wasn't linked, either.
-
Okay, that's unavoidable, and yes, potentially sucky. However, Seth tends to put warnings on the Drawfriends for right AFTER an episode's aired. Beforehoof? can't do anything about it. I asked him about this a couple weeks ago, and he said there's so much art out there that he picks most of it purely at random (save for anything Trixie... the boy's hopeless, sometimes)
-
...and the fandom
rejoiced shat themselves.

Oh my little pony god, that was the best episode in a while, let me tell you~
Pinkie Pie was in rare form, which is always awesome. And even better? EVEN BETTER?
Holy crap, not only was Derpy referred to by name, but she had lines. Lines, you guys. LINES. Lines and character. Holy crap.
Oh, and I guess Applejack was in this episode too~ =3
(No, but seriously, I almost never stopped laughing the entire episode. I love this episode. I would buy a ring and propose to this episode, but it would probably turn me down because I bought a Star Sapphire ring at the comic shop instead of a real ring. The Star Sapphires are the corps of love, come on. It's totally symbolic. =< And this episode is going to be on the DVD? Holy crap, is February over yet??)
In conclusion, I love everything~ This episode wins first place. Ding!

THEY GAVE DERPY LINES......

While the fandom may be broken on the voice, I think it was cute. I also got the chance to warm up to it even more/again thanks to YT. <3
Pinkie sounded half-demonic by the way when AJ "broke" her promise. Now there's a topic for MLF: FiH> >_>

Ah, memories... I grew up with this. Good times.
Ditto...I still have my ponies from when I was a wee little girl. :D
Had to get rid of Bride Pony, Baby Whirly Twirl, and teh Remco unicorn knockoff, but I will never ever get rid of Skydancer. Recently restyled her mane and tail to look like Fluttershy's. :3

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.

My best advice is to write both versions, and offer one to EqD, and the other to post on FIM Fiction/clopsort. It makes things easier on us pre-readers.
As for editing, hit up Ponychan and ask anypony there for an assist. We pre-readers don't usually offer editing services (I'm already doing so for two other writers, myself), but Ponychan's pretty good about help.
-
Well, I'm working on the clean version now, and it involves them going to Appleloosa right now before nightfall hits. I'm almost tempted to make the cloppy version occur between the ponies kissing and between Pinkie waking up from a nice little slumber to go to Appleloosa. Also, I'm just saying "sure, why not" with the town being on the horizon, because I don't think spending the night in the desert alone is a good idea.
I dunno. Details clearly aren't done, but we'll see how things go. I'm honestly hoping for this to be a one parter, because 3000 words minimum just sounds insane to me. I dunno. We'll see how things develop.
-
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

I don't think so at the moment. I was kinda going to end it with them heading to Appleloosta with a bit about sending a lesson to Princess Celestia about what they learned, but I decided to go on to them seeing Braeburn and getting a room for the night, followed by the getting up in the morning so that the can return to Ponyville. I might even have some interaction with the main cast when they get back. Hell, I might have one or both of them write a letter to Princess Celestia at the very end.
-
A., it's Appleoosa. B., I'm going to want to read this. Odds are good something will pop up that I'll need to check over.
-
Right. Also, I'm half considering, now that I'm up to a point...
...I'm half considering making Pinkie's father homophobic. Like, they're spending the morning after breakfast together, waiting for the train back to Ponyville to arrive, and Pinkie's still a bit unsure about things. She wants to know how Rarity thinks the rest of their friends will react, and deep inside she's feeling slightly guilty about her feelings for Rarity as she [possibly] had a dream about her father disowning her for it. I mean, I haven't even written a dream out, but maybe I could script one in here, or at least a bit where Pinkie talks about her dream and about her dad.
Edit: I did go briefly into the subject, but I didn't dwell on it. I'm about to write the very last part where they get onto the train and go back to Ponyville. I probably will skip most if not all of the train trip and will have them meeting their friends again, who will understandably be a bit relieved to see their friends back safe and sound.
Well, I have it at 2436. I know the minimum is "2500 words," but that's pretty damned close. I mean, I'm sure it'll need some refining maybe here and there, and some words may be cut out and some added to make it flow better beyond other corrections. What do you think? Should I send it off to the fires of editors?
Update: I've submitted it to an editor from my state's brony group.
-
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.

Most of the characters are copyrighted, but I do think they could make something Tirek-ish(which would be SWEET, because Tirek was a hardcore demon/baphomet of a villian). BTW, is it wrong that an awesome shipping fic idea just popped in my head, pairing Tirek and Celestia??

Now that would be a great idea for a fan fic... face off between Tirek and Discord.
MLP VILLIAN FIGHT!!

So because there's a fanfic thread, I may...post the link there, here, or in both spots when my story makes it through the fires of editorship and prereadership.
-
For the record, I prefer "cherrychanga".
CHIMICHERRYCHANGAAAAAA!!!
-
I just finally came to the end of Fallout Equestria, after I've spent a lot of time in the last week on it. I... I think I have something in my eye... (The fates of the Mane cast+Princesses... Sniffle.)
-
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.
-
So I'm getting real time feedback as we speak.
Update: The story has made one entire pass through an editor, and several good changes have occurred. Tomorrow, another pass will occur.
-
Requesting you e-mail it to me after that edit pass, B. You have me intrigued, which doesn't happen often.

I take it you mean after the second pass. Yeah. I can do that. :D
While we're on the topic, how common is Raripie, anyway?
-
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?
-
B: Raripie? It ain't. That's a VERY uncommon ship, and I think we've seen it all of twice since I became a pre-reader and EqD STARTED. I'm interested... again.
Yla: Mostly for the fact that Kkat flaunted our 'no clop' rules after we okayed Fo:E to go up initially, since we didn't check followup chapters at the time we allowed it to go up. Chapter 20.5 explicitly mentions double-ended dildos and orgasms. When we called her on it in the comments, her fanbase basically responded with "HOW DARE YOU TELL HER SHE'S WRONG!"
Throw in that she's followed other authors to their FA journals where they're mocking a plothole or a character and she rages on them and says not to contact her ever again (when she... doesn't watch anypony on FA... so she has to either check the author's page, or be told about it by one of her toadies...); she recently said in a journal of her own that anypony that hates Fo:E is the same as somepony that hates chocolate; she's told us pre-readers that she could do our jobs (all ~30 of us) better than we could... We Don't Like Her.
-
Can't you take down the less than lawful chapters?
-
If we do, Zach, the Fo:E fanbase will inundate Sethisto's e-mail with fanwank so massive it might make his account explode. He already gets something on the order of 200 a day. We've all but blacklisted Kkat from ever posting again, since she's seen fit to throw our simple rules in our collective face.
-
Wow.
-
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.

Hehe. I used to be one of those, actually. I have yet to go figure out my "Rarity and three Wonderbolts die because Rainbow fails the Sonic Rainboom" plot I devised way back.
Well, I do hope you like it. There's a bit more dialog now as a result of the change, and it even pushes the story to over 2500 words. XD
-
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!
-

In that case, I might just scrap it. I don't want to crowd the market. I mean, I could read all the fics and try to find another angle, but c'mon. Fuck that. :P
...
...then again, maybe SOME day. Just not in the foreseeable future. :P
-
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.

Thanks. I suppose the mark of a writer is coming up with something fresh, whether it's an original fic idea, or a familiar fic idea written in a new and exciting direction.
Oh, and I'm thinking of changing my profile pic to what (currently) an unfinished version of the story's art (uncolored, rough sketch). I didn't draw it, but a friend in my state's brony group did.
Hell with it. Why not?

That could work really well, especially with the breakfast scenes in "Sisterhooves Social" to draw from.

That's what I was kinda thinking, actually. I didn't specifically reference the episode, but she does mention breakfast, and making it.

Expect it to grow longer. I...haven't made many posts in other topics on this particular board, and I think the others were in that "Heresy" thread.
I have 48 posts in this board - this will make it 49 - and this is my top posting board as a result. XD Hell, even my activity in this board is the highest at 5.37% of my time!
P.S. What do you think of my Raripie pic that a friend from a brony group made? I mean, it has yet to be colored, but you can still kinda see it okay. XD

So my fic went through a second edit session, and even further changes were made. I'm gonna review the unresolved comments and mark them off one by one, and then I'm ready for primetime. :)
Wow. Getting editing advice has once again added to my word count, and in an awesomely positive way. I now have 2673 2677 words of content. There's only two unresolved comments right now. One is a rewording of a brief mention of Lyra and Bon Bon, and the other is a strikethrough. I'm done editing it, and now it's time for prereaders.
Priestling, I sent something to your e-mail. I also have my editor reading it as more of a general reader, so he can get the whole sense of the flow, instead of getting too stuck on details. You both can comment on stuff that interrupts the flow or raises questions and all that.
I...am going to submit it to EqD officially anyway, but I thought I'd let you know. :D
Well, actually. Shit. I gotta include all that meta shit anyway. I just remembered that. Good thing I didn't fire off the e-mail to Seth et. al. yet.
Note: The short link wasn't working for the EqD submit staff, so it may not work for you. That's fine. I sent them the full link after I found this out, so you can have that along with all that other important submitter data, Priestling! When he's trying to find prereaders, I'm sure a Raripie fic will stand out, so there's that. Ehehehe.
-
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

So if I'm understanding this correctly, they'd like my story to expand beyond a one part story, perhaps? I sure the hell don't want to tear apart and rebuild what I've already written just to make this into a story that builds up or does a slice of life bit.
If I need to change the original document itself, that's fine. I don't want to, but I'll pony up [pun totally intended] and manage. What I'm getting from the transcript is that I need to flat out expand it, and that may require a second document.
Also, I'm curious if he actually read it. According to Google Docs, I was the last one to actually look at it, and that was at 4:06 AM CST. I'm not saying that reading it will automatically make him love it or change his opinion, but such a thing would be appreciated.
Also, I have a bit of a related question. DO fanfics made my prereaders have to go through prereading, and if they do, how do you handle that. You clearly are all familiar with each other, or mostly so, so how can you review a story without bias? Who do the prereaders go to if they need a story preread?
-
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.

Ah. Thanks for the clarifications. So as I understand it, there's nothing that inherently needs to be "fixed," save for the story being too damned abrupt? That's what I'm getting from this whole thing. That's cool. Hey, nopony ever said the big ticket of EqD with the crapton of pageviews it gets daily would be easy. :P
Hell, I kinda even went over the omnibus a little last night, and it says flat out that getting onto EqD isn't easy. XD
Also, since I gave general permissions on the story, does that mean that I won't see who has opened it unless I either explicitly give them permissions or they...comment or something? As I understand it, that would be the case that makes the most sense.
Oh yeah. I want you to give my regards to the other prereaders. You guys are awesome.
-
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.

If you're talking about the two with explicit permissions, then they're part of a group of my state's bronies, and one of them even helped me edit it. The other one read it, but didn't really suggest any major changes. Of course, there is the chance that a troll could exploit a security hole, if that's what you mean. I can change the general link permissions to just viewing if you guys handle things via chat/e-mail and whatnot, though.
I've even talked to them in group chat. I don't actually personally know any of them, but they all seem to know each other, so I'm relying on not only earned trust from being in the group for a while and seeing some of the posting habits, but also befriending/directly chatting with them and a kind of proxy trust that arises form them all kind of knowing each other a little. :)
-
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.

So the bit where Rarity gushes about her past and her secret envy of Pinkie is alright, yet I still need to flesh out Pinkie some more? I mean, I can build up for both of them more possibly, but I'm not sure if that would be too jumpy or confusing. Then again, I haven't even written anything new yet, so I can't really properly assess that until I turn ideas into reality.
-
yep, flesh out Pinkie. I think if you do that, it'll make it a much more solid work.
-
Good luck with the fic, but to me Rarity and Pinkie Pie seems a bit weird.
-

Hey, it can't be any weirder than the multitude of other shipping combinations people have made, right? ???
-
I don't read fanfic so I can't say. I guess the only one that really makes sense (to me) would be Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
-
So I think I can flesh out Pinkie more without changing the first half of the story leading up to Appleloosa. I'm gonna use two plot devices to do this.
1) A dream
2) A flashback, narrated by Rarity
Yeah, I know that sounds a little vague. I'm saying it to pique your interest. Also, I'm too lazy to type out my full plan.
Well, I might have to change some parts to keep things coherent, but I can keep the main structure of it together, I think. I have some other things I'll need to change that were pretty big after Appleloosa, too. XD
-
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.
-
This is a bit off topic to what we've been talking about, but I just noticed that my picture (drawn by a friend) has a lever system that looks a lot like the SMF logo. Hah. Imagine that. XD
Official reply:
"have a response!
----------
This is one of those days where the fic isn't overtly bad, but it is not good enough. The subject matter is what you'd expect, but the ponies have no conflict that lasts. I haven't a clue how to improve it without changing the story completely, but it would be torn to shreds on EqD.
It had some errors and mistakes in punctuation, and it talked at the reader too much. The language was distastefully informal at times, and the pacing was non-existent. Everything happens and resolves within sentences.
-------------
Gotta expand it! Hit up ponychan with it, they will help you flesh it out. You can resubmit after it has been fixed up."
I of course will be shifting the underlying plot, and I might hit up Ponychan later. I don't know if I'll get much done on it tonight, though. I have other...things...
-
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.
-
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.

Will explain after I land after my flight. Hang tight. Expect an answer some time tomorrow evening.
-
So, let me make it clear that this critique was a pretty big blow to my confidence. There are some parts to it that sound like inherent problems in my ability to write. Some of the terms that bother me are.
"Distastefully formal"
"Talking at the reader"
The pacing not existing makes sense, as the fic needs to be longer. Still, those other problems sound like they could be problems inherent with how I write. Yeah, I had it run through some editing, so I cant be sure how much of that is my editor's direct edits and how much it is me taking some of their suggestions, but not only am I not quite sure how to resolve these "issues," but the fact that they exist in the first place bother me.
I'm honestly not much of an artist, but I think you could draw some mediocre art or comics or do some other mundane act and get on EqD more easily than you can with fanfiction. I mean, there is amazing art, and there are great comics, but I question whether the quality threshold is as high.
Also, story updates aren't subject to quality control at all, which makes me envy the fuck out of those bastards. Yeah, I know they had to make it through the prereaders at least once, but I still find myself annoyed by it.
Hell, I think making PMVs or parodies have the lowest standards, especially for taste.
Then again, I can't bitch too much. Complaining about things never solved anything. I really only did it to vent over some frustration in the writing process.
-
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 focus mostly on Celestia/Discord, but occasionally ship Appledash and Rainbow Pie because YAY LEZBEANS.

I was thinking of having a Dislestia fanfic. They have a son.
And Discord kills him while being turned into stone
Here's a potential picture of him.

No, I agree that most shipping is weird. It's just that those two characters fit the best out of all the combinations.
-
I think I know of a way to improve my fic. I need to better employ the tool of UNRESOLVED SEXUAL TENSION!
That is to say, Pinkie will confess her love to Rarity (possibly rather bubbly), and Rarity's response will make things rather awkward for both of them for the rest of the way back to Ponyville. this awkwardness will start affecting their day to day interaction, and their friends will notice, and then stuff will go down from there.
That's the idea I came up with while taking a shower this morning.

Ok, I have a question for everypony here, who would you like to see do a guest voice on the show??
-
Ok, I have a question for everypony here, who would you like to see do a guest voice on the show??
Well damn, that's a tricky question. I think it would be pretty neat to see veteran voice actor Billy West on the show.
-
My choices:
1. Charlie Adler-veteran cartoon voice actor, he did the voice for G1 Spike back in the 80's
2. Mark Hamill- If they can get Q(John de Lancie), they can get Luke Skywalker, and the fact that he has a resume full of cartoon voice work is a good thing
3. Stephen Colbert- he's done cartoon voice work, and he gave a shout out to us bronies on his show
-
David Bowie. After he does the Venture Bros.
-
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.
-
Mako!
...oh wait... /bad joke
I don't know a lot of the voice actors, but I would be mightily amused if Martin Billany did a voice.

George Takei. Because he's been doing a lot of voice work lately anyway, and is quite obviously the most awesome man alive.
There's not even words to describe how full of win that would be... Takei is the man.
-
B: UST can work, and can even lend a bit of comedy to the work. Good choice.
As for your earlier post, "Distastefully formal" is basically... you're trying to be too strict in your writing. Your dialogue is so stiff to the point that you're writing more how you think they should sound, rather than how they actually sound. Writers for Pinkie are a good example of this, as well as Dash.
"Talking at the reader"... have you ever heard of the "Show, don't tell" rule? sounds like you were doing a lot of telling the potential reader "they did this, and this, and this" rather than showing us in the story. It's a common pitfall.

So you guys heard about who's going to be at BroNYcon, right?
John De Lancie (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/bronycon-turned-upside-down-starts.html)
I am insanely jealous.

AWESOME
I wish I could go...

We're also planning an Equestria Daily panel there. All three blog ponies will be there. Seth, Cereal, and our blog princess, Phoe. Word of advice from somepony that's upset her... DON'T. She will put her hoof so far up your flank that you'll taste her shoes.
But yes, so far it's an EQD panel planned... mostly what we do, who we are, what we're looking for...

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.

Never mind the internet, Seth, Cereal and Phoe would go positively nuclear!
... and we pre-readers would have a field day.

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.

Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness.
YES! I kinda wish I could afford a laptop right now. Hell, it's still a ways off, so maybe I'll be able to get a better paying job (Tutoring is okay, but you don't really do it for the money.) after this semester is over and I'll be able to buy this.
I think $150 is very reasonable.
-
We pre-readers are considering it... depends on just HOW basic it is...
-
So unfortunately Tek goofed and the laptop thing isn't real. Oh well. Whoever was posing as HP is in some deep shit now. I can hardly wrap my head around why someone would do something so mind-boggling stupid.

Well that's disappointing... I know Tek's gotta be unhappy, he's our geek pony...

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.

Well, noone said you had to be a diehard fan. :P I think it's good to see that you can at least praise the show some for its merits.
Oh yeah. I came here to mention that the yellow unicorn colt with dark hair reminds me of a cross between Seth and Cereal's OC ponies. XD

That's cool, I have no problem if it's not your cup of tea, I only have a problem when people are like "oh, it's a lame cartoon for 6 year old girls"

Yeah, it's the worst when they refuse to watch it. I know a few people on FB that have that attitude towards it, including my aunt, who was making fun of me a little over MLP.

I do have to admit that my favorite characters so far is Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. I love Rainbow because of her spunk and Pinkie Pie because of her hyperactivity and optimism.
-
Yeah, Pinkie Pie at times seems almost Monty Python-esque in her weirdness. Which is a good thing.

And Caramel finally got to say more than two words. that was great.

I've recently started to watch the show, but I wouldn't consider myself to the level of being a brony. The animation is simple but still really good(although it can look odd sometimes), and the writing brings back memories of shows I grew up on(funny, good message, etc.). One of my friends is a brony(well, one has stated they're one), and along with him, I saw references to the show on other sites I visit. I decided to give the show after watching the CR Familiar Faces review, and the first episode I saw was the one where Pinkie Pie babysits. When the joke about adultery came up, the first thing I thought was, "okay, this show might not be so bad after all." The jokes/references bring back a lot of memories about Animaniacs. The topics that were brought up in the Familiar Faces review were true, and the show really is entertaining. It's an entertaining show, and anyone who likes animation should give it a chance.
Also, one reason why I was hesitant to watch the show in the first place is because my only experience with My Little Pony prior to this was way back in Summer Camp when I got stuck watching the old show from the 80s.
So it's an entertaining show, but you won't find me doing any fanfic or drawings...that is, if I could draw in the first place.

So I'm sure most of you have seen the "Teens React to MLP (http://Teens React to MLP)" video, but I want to offer a different, and perhaps more genuine opinion of kids. Well, it's a different sample, so to say it's more genuine is subjective, actually.
Kids and teens review of the show (http://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/my-little-pony-friendship-magic/user-reviews/kids)
Average rating based on 33 kid and teen reviews:
85% say there are positive messages
73% say there are positive role models
70% say it's educational
The adults have a slightly different view.
Adult's Reviews (http://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/my-little-pony-friendship-magic/user-reviews/adult)
Average rating based on 33 parent and educator reviews:
85% say there are positive messages
82% say there are positive role models
55% say it's educational
Of course, this post wouldn't be complete without the site's review (http://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/my-little-pony-friendship-magic).
I'm not sure on the age of the review, but I know it's been around a while. I think that one point of interest is how there's a noticeable difference in the number of teens/kids that think the show is education relative to parents/educators. Now I'll admit that each sample size is pretty small at 33, but I do wonder if what kids and teens consider educational (particularly our ponies' vocabulary) and what parents and educators consider education is slightly or significantly different. Hell, a wider sample would be needed, but I think the suggestion is quite possibly there from the current data.
Also note that more adults think that the ponies are positive role models, compared to the minors.
-
Yeah, I would say one should define “Educational.†I’m sure a lot of the folks that say it isn’t educational only really think of “educational†in a strictly academic sense. That is, it doesn’t teach science, history, math, or language. But folks that say it is educational realize that children can be educated on social matters. And that is what the letter at the end of almost* all episodes is about.
*Really, what is up with you, “Family Appreciation Day?â€Â

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 )

Add to that a brilliant supervising director (Jayson Thiessen) and numerous veteran writers, and you have the recipe for epic win. Of course, the actual execution of everything is crucial to TRULY bringing the series alive.

We have worn down your resistance? Good, good. :D Those are nice doodles, by the way.
So I've taken to playing Eurobeat Brony's songs in my car and singing along to the ones with lyrics ("Discord" and "Luna," mostly). I find it to be an excellent way to get the blood flowing. In case your wondering, my car uses a tape deck, so I just use an iPod-to-tape adapter. :D

@ Radiation: Might I suggest looking up the Artist Training Grounds on DeviantArt? One of the blog ponies (our blog princess, Phoe) and several pre-readers help run it. I think you'd really enjoy it. It's a nice challenge, and it's even gotten me drawing... and I DON'T DRAW!
... I'm a writer, dammit. So the whole 'art' thing is weird right now.

People are stupid drama whores who get upset over everything from a character's non-existent mental disability (Derpy's a tomboy ditz, NOT a representation of someone with Down's Syndrome or Autism or whatever the fuck people are complaining about) to the fur color of technicolor ponies (OMG LUNA IS DARK COLORED AND EVIL AND I DIDN'T WATCH PAST THE FIRST EPISODE) and probably to a pony's eye color some day.

I still think the adventure story was fun and exciting, and seeing Rainbow Dash being adorkable is so worth it. Also, we have the series' trademark humor. XD

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."
-
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.
-

They did, but there were people that got pissed about it.
The entire reason I found this episode funny was because they had a mentally disabled pony barking and played it for laughs. And considering the ableist drama that's been going on, it's even funnier because, while I know this isn't the truth, it was almost considered a "take that".
-
Honestly I think the outrage over Derpy would have not been an issue had Tabatha realized that Derpy is a girl

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

How much of a movie is the moving images on the screen, and how much of it is the reel?
-
Ok, I didn't know where to put this, but I think the rest of the board hate our guts, because of some things that have happen. Maybe we could just keep the pony stuff on here for now, just sayin. I don't want to be hated by the majority of the members on here. Let's discuss this without opening wounds, and getting in an fight about who said/did what.
-
I apparently missed all the drama going down in 20 minutes or less... all I know is Shane got demoted, Nappy ragequit, and the thread about sugar kinda went off the rails... if we need to keep pony things to this thread for a while, then as the resident EqD member, I'll back this idea. All in favor, raise a hoof.
-
I just don't want to be hated. I changed my avatar, because I feel the others keep lumping all bronies together. I'm not the in your face type, I hardly post anything pony related on the other threads. And when people say insulting stuff about bronies in general, they're not only attacking the annoying ones, but the ones like myself, who are quiet.
-
I can't speak for all the other non-pony fans, but I just want to say that I don't at all hate any of your guts. My only issue was the constant pony references and macroes in unrelated threads. As long as nobody goes overboard with that sort of stuff in non-pony topics, I'm happy.
-
For what it's worth, I agree with Art despite any posts that may make it seem to the contrary. I don't hate anyone in the Pony fandom. I just dislike when things go overboard and topics need to be split off for the derailing.
Also in offering a point in doing what I ask of others, I'm going to scale back on my own L Word macros as much as I can.
-
To your credit, Shane, your L Word macros, and you talking about it, have gotten me interested in wanting to watch the show... much like how friends being interested in pony got me into THIS fandom, come to think of it. So thank you for that. And you haven't used those macros very often, as memory serves.
-
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. ;)
-
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. ;)
I'm not saying Rainbow Dash is a lesbian, but I can so see mashup memes of MLP and The L Word now.
The fandom does enough F/F shipping to begin with, even if it doesn't involve Dash, so...
-
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.
-
I'm going to re-quote myself from the first page:
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.
-
How the hell did the episode make MLP ableist? I didn't get a single vibe of that.
I too liked the burglar suit.
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.

That was my impression of Derpy, too. She is still my... *counts* fourth favourite pony, and I own her T-shirt (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/Blog%20Pics/X-masween11008.jpg).
As for the other thing, here is me as pony:

It seems that the logic is as follows:
- 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.
How being ditzy is the same as being mentally ill, I don’t know.
-
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.

A lot of issues would have been avoided if they went with the Ditzy Doo name. But I've been beating that name's drum for some time.

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.
Missed this for some reason...
My basic reason for enjoying the show is that it's fun, light-hearted, yet filled with a self awareness that allows anyone to enjoy it. You either feel really happy watching it or you don't.

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.
-
Why do I like the show? Well, there's quite a combination of factors.
The girls each have distinct and unique personalities.
- 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
The show isn't afraid to be cartoony/zany at times.
- 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.

It's funny, I associate with Twilight and AJ most often, but Rarity is best pony.

-
I'm personally drawn to the show because, frankly, it doesn't treat their viewers like idiots. That's enough for me.
Also, pony pic: http://cuppae.deviantart.com/#/d4jbh69
I'm the unicorn in the scarf. The older Earth Pony is the legendary Inky Quill (nee Twilight Snarkle) of Ponychan, who's sorta adopted me :3
-
I just recently gotten into the show and I have found it to be funny. It's a lot like the Powerpuff Girls in which I was a fan of when it was around and knowing that MLP was created by that very same person that did PG makes this an awesome show.
I also like this show because it's not syrupy, saccharine, and all "let's hold hands and sing about rainbows." There is an amount of snarkiness and cynicism in the show that balances the sweetness of the show. It's kinda like a good raspberry vinaigrette desert. Also, I am not one for musicals, especially Disneyesque types but the musical numbers on this show are bearable and some are actually catchy as well as humorous and ties in to the theme of the show.
As for avatars and signatures, I'm keeping my sig as I have worked hard on it and I will probably change my avatar to my ponysona.

Twilight Sparkle is best snarker. ;)

I can promise that I don't hate you guys, nor do I see any issue with Brony avatars and (reasonably sized) sig pics. Anyone who's petty enough to throw a fit over either of those things is someone you shouldn't be concerned with trying to impress, anyway. :)
By the way, I've never seen the whole Bronies vs The Internet thing as a big deal. The thread derailment and whatnot was mildly annoying at times, and I was a bit confused by the sudden influx of MLP stuff, but for the most part, I was just kidding around whenever I've mentioned "turning the tables" and whatnot.
-
Even if you did 'turn the tables' on us, we wouldn't hold a grudge against you or anything :3 we don't mind talking various topics.
-
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). As I said it's a weird quirk that I've had since I was a young child, and it's probably linked with my self-esteem issues that I've struggled with my whole life.
And Mlle. Antechrist, I believe you, and if you ever want to come in here and say hi and talk about stuff, you're always welcomed too. :D

In my experience, the derailment is often caused by the other people overreacting to a random image macro than the bronies just going on and on.
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.

Your mom has ADD issues.

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.
Your mom has ADD issues.
Well, at least she’s not a Death Eater!
-
Your mother's a Hufflepuff and plays card games in Hell.
That pony creator on DA is fun as SHIT. My little pony looks like...well...zie has questionable gender, shall we say.

Who gives a shit whether threads get derailed? That's half the fun here (in my limited experience).

As for ponies and an L Word mashup, I can see it. Just dunno what their cutie spots(?) would be.
-
it's Cutie Marks, Shane, but definite points for getting close.
And once I watch The L Word, I could probably figure something out.
-
Ah, see. I knew it was cutie somethin'.
I could toss you some links to some episodes but... *glares at US gov't*
-
Are there box sets out there I can buy? I could look into those once I have work again...?
-
Ja. There are. It's actually on sale right now for half off for the complete pack... (http://www.amazon.com/L-Word-Complete-Pack/dp/B002JIOOB2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328658948&sr=8-2).
-
*grumbles good-naturedly* Figures sales happen while I'm out of work... but I'll keep the link in mind for when we're financially stable again. The furnace keeling over and dying during a New York winter kinda puts a dent in any savings, even buying a replacement used...
-
Bette's should be a messed up "I Love You" ASL handshape. Maybe instead of ILY (thumb, index, and pinky up) it's the bullshit shape (thumb in, index and pinky up). *grin* Easy mistake, right?
-
@Priestling- I didn't even know it was on sale until I looked for it so who knows when it won't be?
@DPD- Ha ha. We call those the Horns round here.
-
If people have an issue with stuff... just light my PM on fire. Or, you know, press the report moderator button. More than likely I'll be the one dealing with it unless others get to it faster than I do.
-
The Horns tend to have the palm facing outwards, though, right? The variation of "bullshit" I'm thinking of has the palm facing inward.
-
Can be both depending on who you ask. I love the idea though.

5 seasons? even at the usual list price of $235 and change, that's NOT bad for an entire show's run for a box set!

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.

I love that my sigs have been getting attention
Well, it's been stated in the show that they eat hay, and Pinkie Pie sure loves her sweets
And Spike has the best diet of them all:Gemstones
-
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.

XD Oh, and here's an even more hilarious one.
"'Celestia can heal' Advertisment banned"
Hehehehe!
Also, my username becomes B-Stallion.
Oh wow. Tyrant!Celestia takes on a whole new dimension with ponify on this (http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=85835) quote. About the only things that spoil the illusion are the male pronouns.

I've actually attempted to go for more of a pony diet as a way to help my weight loss. I'm eating a lot more salad of late, not as much meat, picking healthier (some would say pony-friendly) options. I like to think that if Equestria does pop up (I write for The Conversion Bureau sub-genre of fic) the culture shock of having to give up beef/bacon/other goodies will be lessened. And hay, if it means I can keep dropping weight...

So the Fan Favorite Mareathon is coming! I totally have kinda missed other marathons, but I want to make this one.
-
Me too. I can't wait to see what won. I hope they're all ones I picked. =3
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

You can cheat, you know. The inside flap of the bags have a number written on them, that coincides with the list on the back.

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'm not gonna go with blind-bag pony, I'm just gonna go all out and buy a suitcase pony. Twilight and/or Rainbow Dash.
Tomorrow. Today is Ren Fest, and I want to have fun at that first. :3
-
So I totally missed part of the mareathon, but I did see the last 3 episodes.
As far as the new episode goes: SO MUCH WIN. <3
-
For anypony who missed it, the list went:
9. Hearth's Warming Eve
8. Feeling Pinkie Keen
7. Lesson Zero
6. Party of One
5. May the Best Pet Win!
4. Suited For Success
3. The Best Night Ever
2. Green Isn't Your Color
1. Luna Eclipsed
As surprised as I am that Sonic Rainboom and Return of Harmony, Pt. 1 didn't make the list, I'm even more surprised that Green Isn't Your Color scored so high. I mean, I love every episode (even Over A Barrel), but I wouldn't have bet money on that one.
Oh, well~ At least half the list is stuff I voted for. That's what counts, right? =3
As for the new episode... Well, it's always nice to give the supporting cast more depth and focus. I could go into more depth myself, but I can't because I'm still all melted-feeling from Sweetie Belle's voice, holy crap. @_@
-
Wow... that episode was amazing even by MLP standards.
Miss Cheerilee is so sweet, yet with an undercurrent of such powerful evil. I'm really starting to like her after that ending.
-
So I can see comics coming off of something from this episode.
They didn't use all the potion. There was more in that container from what they gave Mac and Cheerilee. Now granted, tehy probably dumped it, but what if someone got into it? Also, it arguably got into the water supply, although to be fair, it would be diluted a lot being in the water supply. :P

I'm cool with blind bagging when I want to collect a variety (I'm 50/50 with Super Rares in HeroClix), but I don't want to "catch them all". I just wanted the mane cast.
Thankfully, both of us win! ;D

Hol-ee shit, guys.
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/celestia-is-finally-white.html
Not only is she white (with golden grieves), but there's Zecora, Trixie, and DJ Pon-3 toys coming out, among others.

Today's song was easily one of their best songs yet, actually.
Also, Caramel has a canon fillyfriend :V

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?

I'm totally going to buy a Trixie, a Nightmare Moon, and a Zecora, Now we just need a Derpy Hooves
And about the new episode, very cute, it was nice to see Big Mac say something other than "Eeeeyup" & "Nope" for a change

And here's why I love the blind-bags. Today's prize yielded Pinkie Pie~
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.
Also, WANT Zecora and Nightmare Moon SO MUCH. <3

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

With regards to the Daring Do TvTropes page I have to say: Some people have entirely too much time on their hands. Fawesome.

So the new toys will likely be popular with bronies. The real questions are:
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?

Most "exclusives" are done for two reasons:
1. A special deal by a specific store, essentially paying EXTRA to have the deal (like my overloards at Targét did with the "Canterlot Collection").
or
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. :-\
-
It's nice to see some of the secondary and background ponies getting merch.
And seriously, that Nightmare Moon is awesome.
+4 to Hasbro.

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.

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.
-
So I can't seem to find the area where you create a Conservapedia account. What a shame. I really wanted to go troll them with a big long tirade about how My Little Pony is an evil, horrible, satanic cult that promotes witchcraft and idol worship and stuff.
Does anybody have a Conservapedia account, so that they can do that?

Yeah, the whole "wiping out stock" thing tends to happen when Seth/Cereal/Phoe post about it on EqD. It amuses we pre-readers to no end.

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.
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>

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.

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.

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.

I find it more likely the animators grabbed ponies at random for most things, rather than any specific relationship agenda. :P
-
Yeah, it's more likely that the ponies were paired up by random.
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.
-
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.
Besides, with mares outnumbering stallions by about 4 to 1, what else are they gonna do? /hypocritical aside

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. Dwelling over-much on pairings seems awkward to me.
I hope I'm not coming off homophobic or anything. I have no issue with a kids show giving gay couples an appearance of normality. I just really cling to the innocence of the show, and most shipping veers away from, well, innocent hand, er, hoof holding.
-
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.
As far as the episode's theme, well yeah it was about relationships, but there was also a funeral being held, kids playing video games, etc ("This one's too young, this one's too old..."). It was basically a busy day outside, and yes couples were out in full force.
I'm just saying, have your fun with it, but don't overspeculate.

I want a Derpy Hooves figure.
I want a pets pack. And Doctor Whooves. And Big Macintosh. And Discord. And Nightmare Moon. And Rarity clothing set with all her outfits from "Sweet and Elite". And Cutie Mark Crusaders stage set in full costume, with fully collapsing décor.

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.

Oh wow. I just had an idea. Fanfiction/fanart of the ponies that appear in toys that are perhaps less recognized.

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. :/

So? How does that deny them from getting fanart or fanfiction? I mean, background characters have had their stories fleshed out. Why not these poor things?

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.

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.

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>

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

I saw that too with Rainbow Dash. I'm kind of shocked I spotted Derpy right away this time around, I'm usually the last one to spot her.

Oh, you. That wasn't the Aesop at all. XD Speaking of the Aesop, nobody can bitch about Celestia not getting letters anymore. It was voiced over, but dammit, it was a letter!
Also, I finally caught the cold opening and bit after that I missed because of sleeping to 9:04 today. XD

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.

Destruction of private property usually results in a lawsuit.
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.
The aesop at the end specifically specified that some people want to be left alone and to listen to them, thus indicating to anyone that Pinkie Pie's actions were WRONG.
It was a silly episode with a good lesson. Pinkie's aggressiveness did NOT work. What worked was her simply stopping to think and help someone.
If you are intending this analysis in a more lighthearted manner than I'm interpreting, I apologize and will excuse myself from discussion. I don't find overanalysis of the series that interesting, as my overeaction to shipping has shown.

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.

Ok, Who is every brony's favorite CMC??
I like all three, but it's a tie between Sweetie Belle & Scootaloo for my favorite.
-
Scootaloo
-
At the moment, it's Applebloom. I realize she gets a lot more screen time, but I just tend to like her more in general.
-
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!
My fave is Sweetie Belle. I love the fact she squeaks and seems to have to think things through a bit longer than the others.
RANDOM PONY!

Applebloom, no contest. Making family and friends where you find them, like the rest of the CMC and Zecora? Sounds ideal to me.

This episode is another reason why I LOVE Pinkie Pie, and she's the BEST PONY!!
No. Pinkie Pie is Scariest Pony.
But there's also the stalking, breaking into his home, and the massive invasion of privacy by snooping through his private materials...
I know this little discussion has been pretty much resolved, but I just want to point out that Cranky would probably still have to press charges… :P

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?

As I've heard Andrea Libman (Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy) in person... she wins. Oh Luna's Night and Stars, she wins.
-
Scootaloo is best singer! :P
Also, I really wish I was better at breaching the subject of ponies in real life. I know this sounds like a natural problem, but I have some deeper issues. I can't breach it to nerds who would probably watch and enjoy it. I wasn't even able to breach the subject with my cousin when I meant her face to face for my other cousin's graduation. I introduced her to the fucking show, and I couldn't bring myself to talk about it IRL to her. If you're wondering, she loves the show. She would be a safe target to discuss the show without ridicule. I still can't bring myself to discuss it with her in person.
Celestia help me. I'm a very overt brony online even on my Facebook page, where is where I bring up things about ponies if I do to people I know IRL. Yet in personal encounters, the words just aren't their to start the conversation.

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>

Clearly you need to love and tolerate the shit out of your brother.
This song makes me smile smile smile XD Too good.
I can only imagine what Cranky was thinking as he walked up and saw all of that.

I loved the song too, but every Pinkie Pie song makes me smile, smile, smile.

B-Man, I know what it's like to not have anyone to talk to about your favorite subject especially with something that is considered a girls' kids' show.

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.

Speaking of Tyrant!Celestia, there was a really good fic that I was reading called "The Sun Is Tired." I don't think it's been updated in a while, but then again I've been busy enough where I haven't really checked the story updates. Everyone fears Celestia, and it tears her up inside basically. I like Celestia as a character. Stories that are from her point of view, especially sad ones, are my favorites.
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-sun-is-tired.html
-
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.
-
I have another Celestia fic I really like.
http://poni.0au.de/story/2721/For-Her
Also, I like Ponify. I've added a few holidays, and have turned "Christianity" into "The Solar Empire" and "Devil" and "Satan" into "Discord."
Ooh! Islam should be "The Lunar Republic" and "Allah" should be "Luna." Yes, I know that Allah and God are one in the same, but with the crescent moon and stuff, I can't resist. Also, because I keep ponify on most of the time, I'll be able to tell the two religions apart. :P
-
If you're interested in Celestia fics, there is also 'Eternal'.
It's an incredibly detailed look at the relationship between Celestia and Twilight, and it also touches upon the loneliness and detachment she suffers as an immortal. The last two chapters are more or less a single prolonged Tear Jerker. (oh celestia that last letter)
Would give link, but it has been hacked Tuesday already, and apparently now again. [1] (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/Eternal)tvtropes page, where sooner or later the reuploaded link will be edited in.

I enjoy Pinkie Pie and Rarity's the most. Mind you, their singing voices are by classically trained singers, while AJ/Dash have a more rockin' gal for their singing purposes.
None the less, Sweetie Belle has the best overall. Michelle Creber's YouTube page has her singing promo reel, and I find it impressive. Plus, it currently includes pony (at the end, for those interested).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjBoWdjfQak
She's been very active in the brony community, encouraging (non-creepy) interaction.

This. I think she absolutely adores the mane cast.

Well, I find myself in an odd place.
Recently, my pony love has been raging pretty hard. I've been rewatching episodes, some multiple times in a day. It's just not enough content to keep me satisfied.
So despite what's likely my better judgment, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend some good fanfics. There are a few limits here, however: Nothing sexual in nature, though romance (especially lesbian romance) is perfectly fine. Staying true to the characters is important, and AU stories always seemed to defeat the entire purpose of fanfics for me. And of course, overall writing quality is a big factor.
I'm kind of hoping there's fanfics up to my standards out there, otherwise I'll feel compelled to start writing my own...
-
Well, long story short, Tai futzed around with some toys last weekend, and now my custom pony is up on the Tumblr based on the character. Check it out, I'm pretty excited. (http://askmeaniebelle.tumblr.com/post/18175944040/check-out-this-awesome-custom-pony)

I have been busy reading a ton of pony fics from http://www.fimfiction.net/ (http://www.fimfiction.net/). they have some good stuff there..
:)
-
Well, I was kind of hoping for some recommendations of specific works. Years of Pokemon fandom have made me just plain tired of shifting through mountains of trash to find that one fic out of a thousand that won't make me want to strangle the person who wrote it with a garotte made of dictionaries.

Well, hardly a month's worth of material... most of those fics are well outside of anything I have an interest in reading. The ones I did read were pretty good quality, though.
-
So what do you guys think of the new Derpy voice thing?
-
The voice thing honestly doesn't bother me much. The original voice honestly made her sound retarded. As in, actually mentally challenged. When when you consider her entire role in that story was being "the pony that destroyed town hall" it could be seen as rather insensitive/offensive.
I am, however, disappointed that they edited out RD calling her by name.
-

Ditto
the "new voice" doesn't bother me, actually it's the new voice that I always imagined she had to begin with. It's the whole editing out her name that bothers me. Stupid asshats that have ruin shit for the rest of us. Also some bronies need to grow the fuck up, with this "whole I hate this episode now,it looks as if they underped her eyes/ I feel like the episode been raped"bs. They look just as bad as the people who were bitching about her to begin with.

Question: Is this new edit going to be the one on the DVD that comes out at the end of the month??
-
I think people are forgetting that the episode is supposed to be about Applejack, and that even with this change, there's still plenty of funny moments and a fun plot.
Also, I wonder how much smaller the change might be if Tabitha had known Derpy was a girl. I'd bet the un-derping of the eyes and the name removal would be the only change.
I think the voice is a lot closer to fan voices I've heard. I'm a bit disappointed, as I think the redubbing sounds a little less passionate, but I'll deal with it.
-
I'm more bothered by their removing most of the derped eyes. Instead of her coming across as silly, she just seems clumsy, and now I feel bad for her and am not amused.
The voice is fine, however.
-
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.
This is why we can't have nice things.

/facepalm
They seriously did that?
I mean, the series isn't "ruined forever" by it, but...
Ugh. Damn whiners can't leave well enough alone :-/
*doesn't blame Hub or Hasbro or any of the staff in any way, shape, or form for this*
-
Eh, my only real complaint is the name issue. "Derpy" isn't some word that calls out a specific group of people or anything. I think the voice is fine, and don't even mind if her eyes aren't crossed in every single scene. She's just a clumsy pony that is highly prone to mishaps. I just don't see they felt the need to edit out her name when her name isn't offensive.
Though, I suppose I could also complain that I haven't gotten more fic suggestions... I really won't wanna wade through a mountain of clopfics and garbage to find the ones worth reading...
-
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.

I just don't understand what went wrong ...with Derpy's original portrayal.

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.

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.
-
We don't have any choice, Yae. That's Blogger's formatting, and the best we can do.
-
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.
-

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.
Meh, white wine. ;D

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.

A valid point. But it's still kind of a turn off that the best source of pony news is basically impossible to navigate with any sort of certainty. I seriously can't find what I want the vast majority of the time.
-
Yeah, it's purely from a cash standpoint, or (as Seth put it back at BroNYcon September) we would have probably moved to a proper, non-Blogger site around the 50 mil mark.
He actually showed a few of us pre-readers the stats once. The sheer amount of bandwidth would run into the multiple-hundreds-of-dollars per month, pretty much without trying.
We are for pony what Fark is for news. Which means so much bandwidth that Celestia and Luna would have a hard time lifting it.
-
Even with that many visitors, there's no way to make up the hosting costs with advertising and such?
-
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.
-
Well, that is a little disappointing to hear. I understand there's no helping it, but trying to navigate the site if you don't visit it every day really is just a massive headache. ;.;
-
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
-

Uhm... she's supposed to be an idiot. Her name is Derpy. She was sitting there bouncing up and down on a storm cloud. In the middle of town. After being told to stop.
The problem is, the original scene made her come across as retarded instead of just klutzy and prone to disaster. The only change I really disagreed with was taking out her name.

I like EqD, and I frequent it. I just don't click past the break for new episode announcements, because I want to avoid the synopses for as long as I can. I usually see it on FB from the MLP page about a day before the episode airs. XD

Have you looked at the host NearlyFreeSpeech.net? I pay next to nothing for hosting of my site. Mind you, I get low bandwith use. I just know they have some of the better rates because, well, they give you no editing tools or what have you. You need someone to build a stie entirely from scratch (or use another program, but whatever.)

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.
-
Dark is fun! ::)
Sadness time. I don't know if any of you read Sister Claire by Yamino, however... when the "Last Roundup" came out, she stated she didn't care for the portrayal of Derpy, thinking some could find it offensive.
She immediately got flamed, hard, but it died down.
No, with the current... drama, check this out.
http://forum.deviantart.com/devart/suggestions/1703732/ (http://forum.deviantart.com/devart/suggestions/1703732/)
She's been driven to ask for the ability to directly block commentators, due to thousands of people flooding her deviant art page with hate. They're blaming one web comic artist, with a somewhat decent web profile, for "ruining" Derpy.
Love and Friendship indeed. She had an opinion and she's being badgered for it. None the less, she still seems to like the show. :-\
-
I've heard that she's been getting a lot of hate, I watch a lot of pony related stuff on DA, and most of the groups are telling their watchers & members to stop the shit.

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.

I don't mind dark stories. Sad times are a part of life, and what give the happy times meaning. But when a story is dark just to be dark, like everyone dying at the end for no good reason, it just feels kind of pointless.

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.

I'm pretty sure I'd find it hard to like anyone who wrote a fic called Fallout: Equestria. Never read it, but I have a pretty good feeling it isn't worth reading to begin with.

Do you REALLY want me to go back in the queue and count just how many 40K fics we've gotten in the last three months, Rat? Because I can do it.
Now, admittedly, we have a couple that have been pulled off (Archives of the Friendquisition comes to mind), but 40K, along with Fallout and 'Dash loses her wings' fics we've gotten so many of that we will automatically reject them.

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.

Rat and L: That's it, I'm getting Luna...
Yae and Nom: she did kinda freak as a filly with the whole "magic overload from Dash's Sonic Rainboom" trying to hatch Spike's egg... and the Parasprites eating Ponyville... Three data points in (at least, roughly) 16 years. That's just what we've seen in the show, too... what have we missed 'off screen'?
-
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.

re: Grimdark

Reapers could NOT handle the friendships.
Re- The parasprite issue wasn't her flying off the handle. It was her systematically trying to figure out an answer to a problem, and learning the trope about listening to the "crazy ones".
Being magically overloaded is not "overreacting". That's was her being overwhelmed by an incredible force of magic.
We're talking "asshole." When was Twilight an asshole? When she broke Spike's present for the birthday party, way back in season one, episode one... and didn't apologize.
"We don't have time for parties!" Twilight snarled as she galloped across the library, knocking over piles of books. Unbeknownst to Twilight, but now knownst to you, gentle reader, is that Spike shed a sad, sad tear that fateful day.
That's being an asshole. Not apologizing. Belittling one's friends. And, frankly, that's the only example I can think of.
By "Sweet and Elite" Twilight has become the embodiment of the perfect friend, and is currently dueling with AJ for my number two pony spot. The bookworms have a way of rising to the top with me.

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...
-
Yeah, most of Twilight's "asshole"moments involve Spike. I feel kind of sorry for Spike sometimes, poor little guy. That being said I would say Twilight is the my 3rd favorite pony out of the mane six, and she's the one pony that I relate to the most, because I can be somewhat of an asocial bookworm a good deal of the time. Also every "Which pony are you?" quiz I take, always ends up being Twilight Sparkle.
-
I'm really looking forward to the Spike-centric episode 'Dragon Quest' coming up.
And yes. That's the actual title of the episode. Those of us on EqD staff and among the user base old enough to remember the games from back in the NES days thoroughly geeked out.

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.

And nopony thought to ask why Pinkie was after these instruments...? admittedly, Pinkie did run off at a couple points in search of an instrument or two, but they still had chances.
I'll give you Lesson Zero, but the fact she even invoked mind control in a spell is pretty damn creepy. ... Even if it did give us the Macinpants ship.
-
Like I said... it's Pinkie Pie. She's a giant pink balloon full of random. Like I said, I do think they should have taken the time to listen, but considering the circumstances, I don't think it's unreasonable that they didn't. The town was being destroyed, but it just looked like Pinkie was trying to outfit a band for a "Ponyville's Gone" party.
-
Hm... I suppose, but it still bugs me a bit.
... that reminds me, I should watch a bit of pony tomorrow.
-
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.
Say you are a farmer. There are a swarm of locusts coming to eat your crops. You begin to collect people and start rounding up bug killers, bug zappers - anything that could possibly get at the locusts.
Then Bob bursts in.
"I hear you all got some locusts!" he says, his voice loud yet measured.
"That's right, Bob," you say, cocking an eyebrow.
"All right, who here has a trombone?" Bob asks.
"Why?" you ask.
"How else are we going to start a band?" he asks in return, his hands on his hips. Seeing no reaction from you, Bob storms out, mummbling something about a kazoo.
Pinkie Pie spent the entire time barely trying to explain herself. She just assumed the other characters knew wht she was doing. We, as the viewer, knew what she was doing was likely helpful, due to tropes. But how was anypony supposed to know that the one pony who seemed to be doing nothing was doing something very important.
Communication and understanding is a two-way street, and Miss Pie is not the world's best communicator beyond broad ideas. I love that pony, but to call anypony a jerk for considering her too... random, at that point in the show, to be helpful, is disingenuous.
And once again to Lesson Zero... once again, she was the grips of a mental breakdown. Twilight is high strung, but well-meaning. Did she act like a jerk? Yes. And it took a break with reality to do it.
-
as the trope goes, 'bad communication kills'
... or in this case, maims.

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?
-
Well, why is today Derpy Day?
Kinda wondering this myself...
-
I have no idea why, I just saw it on FB and DA
-
happy Derpy day :)

Who cares why? Any day is a good day to celebrate Derpy~

Who cares why? Any day is a good day to celebrate Derpy~
BINGO

BINGO
Every day is Derpy day, though. I'd have to go 24 hours without screwing something up, and well now tats nt hapening!

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.

Consider me at your disposal for a look-see, as the resident pre-reader around these parts.
Also, I'm an Appledasher, so it's right up my alley.

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.

I'll add you to my Trillian when I manage to get my plot up... it's 2:30 here, and I think I can feel Luna glaring holes into me across the dimensions, so... bedtime for me.
-
Well, that episode was rather hilarious. Flutterage is awesome. >D
-
I'm not overly fond of this new timeslot, but the episode was great. If you ever wanted a longer look at Discordant Fluttershy, here's this episode.
Also, I think she was beginning to develop her own Royal Canterlot Voice.
-
Well, I caught on a stream of a stream, and it was choppy in the beginning, so I'll have to wait for YT for an unbastardized version. Having said that, I found this quite interesting. The people who make this show are so awesome. <3
Also: Minotaurs!
-
I actually love the new timeslot. I am not a morning pony, and had actually adjusted my sleep schedule to be up in time for the show. Yeah, I record every episode anyway, but I like to watch it live with friends (which is obviously the best way to watch a show about friendship).
So now I can try to get back on a more natural (for me) sleep schedule and enjoy ponies with friends!
-
Well, I'm glad everybody is enjoying the new timeslot, because it's 11PM here I'm still waiting for the HD link to come up on Equestria Daily >:(
-
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.

The new episode was a hoot...I loved Iron Will and his entourage of goats. lol
-
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.

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.

I'm hoping for Nightmare Trixie, myself.
... it'd make Seth explode. Twice.

Nightmare Trixie would be awesome...

Really? Yes!! My world-view is confirmed!
Loved the episode. I love how Rarity being "assertive" is just being a tease. :p
-
(...) and hell, the very first thing we saw Twilight Sparkle do was be an antisocial loner.
*perks up* So...she started talking like Raven, then?
(http://www.cosplayhouse.com/images/D/Teen_Titans_Raven_wig_ver_01-2-03.jpg)
She could easily do that, y'know. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeyItsThatVoice) :P
-
So was anyone else reminded of the PPG episode where Bubbles goes "hardcore," or is it just me?
-
Nightmare Trixie would be awesome...
The fanfic The Dresden Fillies features her as a villain.

That it does. I've been so busy reading 'My Little Denarians' that I'd forgotten about that one.
-
So I see that the story I've been waiting on for forever is finally updated. I'm talking of course about The Sun is Tired.
-

Now that you reminded me of that PPG episode, yes does remind me of it.

I have to check that fanfic out.
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.
-
B: Several of the other pre-readers were happy about that themselves. Me, I haven't read it.
-

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.

That's a great background for him, I really like the idea of him being bullied when he was younger, and is the reason why he acts the way he does.
I suppose he could've been a pro-wrestler along the lines. He certainly acts like one XD

No wonder he reminds me of a pro-wrestler, I like him too.

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.
-
I thought the episode was very good. It was nice to see the "bad" side of Fluttershy, even though she was doing it the way she was taught by Iron Will. She just thought she was indeed being more assertive and did not see how she was turning into a bully. At the end she eventually figured out that she can have the courage to tell other ponies "no" and to be able to put her hoof down instead of being a push over.
I do hope that her newfound assertiveness won't take over her shy, domicile personality as that is what I like about her and I absolutely hate it when writers of shows try to change a character's persona.
-
Oh yeah, did anyone notice what was on Derpy's saddlebag in the market scene?? It was a MUFFIN!! lol
Here's a closeup pic of the scene

-
You know, that looks really uncomfortable. I can only imagine that most pegasi would kind of freak out if their wings were restricted like that.
Yes, Rainbow Dash endured it in the Running of the Leaves, but her fidgeting implied it was incredibly uncomfortable for her.
-
So, Tai used his Taibrain while watching the new DVD, and some thoughts came out, and it eventually ended up as some weird art.
You can look if you want to (http://andsean.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Morphin-Pony-Rangers-288882697), you can leave a comment behind.

I'd have gone with Spike... and had Rainbow Dash as the "cool sixth ranger". :p
Cute idea, though.

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.

Time-traveling Twilight's going to be... interesting, to say the least.
... If she goes to Pinkie for help, via Pinkie Sense... my inner shipper will squee.

The Hub released a 1 minute preview from the upcoming episode (Spoiler warning: It's glorious!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4igWjESBpsg
-
I'm not usually one for spoilers or teasers. This one? totally worth it.
-
This preview is all kinds of epic. And it needs to be Saturday. Because I need to see this episode.
-
Yay, another Twilight episode!
Too bad I'm working all day Saturday... >_>
-
Stop tempting me with spoilers, goddammit!

Now that I saw that spoiler, I so now want to see this episode. Apocalyptic Twilight looks awesome!
-
must watch new episode tomorrow!
-
I'm sure Priestling's seen this, but... Well, Tara Strong posted some audio on her Twitter this morning. It was a Twilight Sparkle Rap. Now, this exists:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblE8YYLyQ0
-
That is just... too damned cute...
-
Of course, as soon as she releases the audio, it's immediately turned into a flash ;D
Super pumped for the new episode, haven't been on one of the livestreams for a while but might jump into one just for this episode.
-
Oh man, that episode was great~ More like that, please!
Oh Twilight. You're so delightfully OCD. It's adorable and we love you.
I kind of saw where it was going about halfway through, but it was such a fun ride either way. It's fun to watch things like that unfold.
Oh, and of course Pinkie Pie stashes eyepatches all over the place. Why wouldn't she~?
(Plus, Pinkie in rubber catsuit? There's my fetish fuel for the rest of the month~)
-
So am I the only one who was reminded of mayonnaise and Homer when Spike was eating the ice cream and said that the stomach ache was "Future Spike's" problem?
-
Poor Twilight... her OCD is so crippling, and yet so adorable...
Speaking of Twilight and adorableness, I bought 2 pony grab bags today right after the show aired. I got normal Twilight AND the special "hidden" Twilight that's clear and glittery!
My two new figures, posing with the Rainbow Dash I already had:
(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w35/trainercardproductions/DSC00148.jpg)

Glitter twilight must've used morph magic to turn into astral creature. Like, something similar to an Ursa Minor/Major, I mean.

Come to think of it, that's a fairly accurate description since her body's clear...
-
The new ep was fantastic. That is all.
-
So Fluttershy's taming of Cerberus makes me want to really make up D&D sheets for the main 6. <3
-
I want to make something known, by the by (no, I haven't seen the episode... yet.) and that's that the 'restriction' from when Nappy and IB exploded all over the forums at us is lifted. Just don't go overboard with macros or pony in other threads. Nothing huge.
Now that that's out of the way... oy vey, we're dreading the incoming 'Equestrian War' fics and time-travel clopfic that's being written as I type... Luna save us.
-
Step 1: Discover time travel spells
Step 2: Have sex with self
Step 3: Absolutely no profit at all, why would you even write that
The fandom confuses me sometimes.
Episode was sweet by the way, the Twilight Plisskin outfit and watching how she gets it was awesome =P
-
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.

Ah... understandable, then. I kinda lucked out today, and it looked like Wal-Mart had just put a brand new box of the grab-bags (they sell FAST). I'm hoping they'll either have another fresh box or no one notices until Wednesday so I can go back and pick back through to finish the mane cast and the other 2 "special" figures. I saw them all, but really just wanted the Twilight figures today (and only had like $5 of personal money on me).

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...
-
They really ought to store Discord's statue there instead of in a garden where little ponies can just walk by, fight, and release him.
-
I was under the impression that that row was just a catalyst. He would have broken out eventually. And he will likely break free again sometime in the distant future (but most definitely not Next Tuesday).
-
Yeah. Celestia explained that what freed him was the fact that she was no longer linked to the Elements of Harmony. So at the very least, Discord is locked up tight until the mane cast start to pass away.

The fandom theory that G4 Equestria is the pacified G1 Dream Valley makes more and more sense..
Saw the episode now, was awesome (Twilight using high-end magic, Flowerpot, Terminator expanding timetravel bubble)
The creator of Friendship is Witchcraft probably felt really weird during this ep.
-
Hmm... that's an interesting idea. But I have no clue what it means. I know nothing about MLP aside from the new series. I never liked it as a kid.
-
Finally saw the new episode, I always like OCD Twilight, and I love how they had Cerberus about to mark his territory on that one house
-
Loved the way they had a whole 80’s sense of post-apocalyptic fashion there.
-
I wonder how long it will take before people start doing MLP/Escape From New York fics, especially since there is already crossover art featured on EQ.
Breaking out of Ponyville is impossible. Breaking in is INSANE.
-
Breaking out of Ponyville is impossible. Breaking in is INSANE.
For naming parallels, I would go with Escape from Manehattan, myself. At the very least, go with Canterlot. Ponyville is still just a small town. Wouldn’t have the right feel.
-
Have Las Pegasus and the other town been mentioned before? I enjoy all of the different towns being added. Puns rock. Whoo hoo!
-
I like how Twilight's board has time dilation equations. I also like how someone in the fandom spotted and recognized the equations. I'm not sure which I like more, honestly. XD

A few have been mentioned before, but that episode did include some new ones.

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.

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.
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.
-
Speaking of figures, the knowledge that the US still only on the first set of blind-bags of what will very soon be 5 really upsets me. Yeah, I only buy the show-canon ponies, so there's only a handful from each other set I want, but... I want them, damnit! Especially considering set 5 has Celestia and Luna in it...

Dude, 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.
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. :P
The first Human Centipede film wasn't that cringe-worthy, actually. The second one, on the other hand...

So Fluttershy's taming of Cerberus makes me want to really make up D&D sheets for the main 6. <3

... it's just that Luna would send me to the moon if I didn't get hers. And Zecora has voodoo... that's one Zebra I don't want to cross.
Trixie? Well, Twilight has to keep her ego in check...
-
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.

So (http://darkfiretaimatsu.xanga.com/759833075/if-you-like-pony-coladas-and-getting-caught-in-the-rain/), Tai has foolishly inserted himself into the wonderful world of pony ask-tumblrs. Thus, everyone's favourite socially awkward nightmare fetishist Taipony, Pinkie Tai, is available for questioning (http://darkfiretaimatsu.tumblr.com/). I'll answer things whenever I have a mind to~

Oh man, you guys. I am one figure away from finishing this blind-bag set. Let me tell you, it's pretty exciting. (Not counting the mane six, since those are already done due to that one big box of 12 with the other exclusives in it. Though I have gotten the mane six at one time or another in the bags, but I send them to friends because technically they're still duplicates.)
You watch, this will be the one figure that eludes me forever, while I build up an ever-growing army of sparkly Rainbow Dashes.
The rainbow dash pile doesn't stop from getting taller!
-
That's cool Tai.
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.

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90L2tzp4dqI
Just thought its interesting that it took ponies to get me back into buying toys and customizing.
Also, for those who care, she also drew Blossomforth for me, in regards to how she should look after completion:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Entertainer13/425200_10151386739995094_713990093_.jpg)
Yeah, she's awesome. The pony, I mean. And the artist. Whatever.

Well, if you like dragons, this episode's for you~
It did get a few chuckles out of me, too. ^-^ I especially liked that the red dragon from "Dragonshy" was visible a few times. And it seems Fluttershy hasn't forgotten her lessons in assertiveness, either.
Twilight's still putting ranks in Teleport, it seems. I can't blame her, it's a power I've always wanted myself.
Crackle is clearly kind of the dragons, no foolin'.
-
Anyone complaining about Spike keeping the egg I have noticed some animals do not take their young back if they are touched
-
Interesting how the younger dragons are more anthropomorphic than the older dragons.
I'm just hoping that the one clutch of bullies isn't too indicative of dragons in particular.
(Considering how one of the initial reactions to the idea of stealing the baby phoenixes was a moment of shock, I'm betting it isn't.)
Didn't quite like how Spike referred to himself as a "pony". But I understand the sentiment.
Also, new member of the family?
-
Liked the aesop, liked the episode. Rarity coming to Spike's defense was adawwwwwable. Yay!
-
Anyone 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.
-
Ok, I have a question, why didn't spike grow wings in that episode when he got all greedy and "grew" up?? The other dragons kind of acted as if all dragons get wings when they grow up.
-
Presumable because he was just getting bigger, and not actually growing up.
-
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 :P

Considering 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.
As far as calling all the mane cast dick bags... well, other than exaggerations for comedic affect, if what they do is being a dick bag, than pretty much everyonepony is.

I guess I should have been more clear, I was referring to the dragons ;D
-
Yeah, I wouldn't really consider Fluttershy's fear "racist" either. Not even prejudiced, when you consider that she not only is friends with Spike, but was more interested in talking to the dragon than the new pony in town. She was more put off by her own kind than a dragon. She's just absolutely terrified of the raw power and violent natures of adult dragons.

The dragons were definitely jerks. I was going to give them a pass before they descended to, you know, murder.

I wouldn't think so. I mean, I usually touch a squirrel baby, squirrel mom is all up in my face, chomping away. Same seems to go with most mammals.

I enjoyed today's episode. I found it amusing. Also, think about this. Think about how far the group traveled. From the looks of it near the end of the episode, Twilight transported them from the middle of nowhere to the edge of the Everfree Forest in Ponyville. The girl is freaking powerful! :D
-
I like how she initially failed her Teleport. Almost like a nice nod to D&D. Almost.
Of course, good thing it didn't end up teleporting them 500 feet in the air, and instead just fizzled.

Regarding the Twilight poster, I think users "CronoM" and "PhilSrobeighn" need to learn how to mind their own business, and that there still many kids who are in the foster care system without adoptive parents to call their own, and sometimes spend their whole childhoods without a home to call there own. With bans on adopting out to certain couples, because of their sexual orientation, it makes it more harder to find a home. If they really don't like abortion, than they should start giving money to decent sex ed, and not this "don't have sex until you are able to care for a kid" bs.
Also its about time you started posting in here, MadCat

Guess who owns a Dashie from McDonald's now!
P.S.: Her cutie mark reminds me of gatorade. :P

Friggin' McDonald's. My cow-orkers actually went to McDonald's last week while on break to get me a Happy Meal with a pony in it, and it turns out they didn't have any ponies, so it was a waste of time~
To add insult to injury, there were empty pony toy wrappers in the trash at work today.
At least it was only a Cheerilee wrapper. If it had been Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash, I would've graduated from "disappointed" to "angry". Friggin' kids.

I was depressed that McDonald's was doing ponies when I have no car.
Then I saw the actual figures, and I was no longer depressed. I think I'd be more depressed to own one than to not.

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.

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.

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.
You could always cover the cost by doing it for other bronies for a small fee. Of course, I'm not sure how many bronies there are in your area and such...

Ah. Thanks. I had shown it to my girlfriend, and she was curious what the book was because she thought she may have it. I guess the covers of a lot of Penguin Classics books look similar, since it was a different one.

I thought this was the wrong thread, and I thought I had sent a message (although er...it's not in my sent list).
Then I remembered the context and went "Derp!"
-
I was just starting to reply to you, B-man...lol
-
Yay for custom Derpy, because Derpy is always good~ I'd want one of my own, if I could get one. Some custom Pinkie Tai and Random Bedlam figures would be nice, too~
-
I've seen, and loved, this guy's work before(check his Pirates theme cover). I just found out he did a metal cover of the MLP theme. I can't describe how awesome it sounds to me. Like a fucking orgasm in my ears man!

When I have more time I'll post my favorite brony made songs, they're awesome.

I'm still waiting for ponified Blind Guardian, myself.
*goes back to listening to Voice in the Dark and working on his fic for Conversion Day today*
-
So by the way. I learned how to add my Dashie to my keychain last night, after looking at the slip that came with the toy. That's another selling point for the McDonald's ponies - they're portable via keychain or backpack or whatever you clip them too. Furthermore, the ring that you use to secure it doubles as a comb for the brushable tail. Oh, and while the pony doesn't have an accurate cutie mark, the comb kinda does. Well, it's only one lightning bolt, but it comes out of a cloud. Back to Dashie's mark for a moment, I think it reminds me of the prototype mark they were going to give her, although it is not colored properly, of course. Like I said. I think it reminds me of Gatorade.
Dashie drinking Gatorade needs to be a meme, or at least a comic/picture. XD
-
We have preview clip for an episode coming on the 21st of April
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcS7OX4LTu4
I love the Robin Leach-like voice over :D
-
Rainbow Dash is the only athlete I need endorsing my Gatorade. I would buy so much of it if that were a true thing.
I already have some pony keychains. The crystally ones made of clear plastic and are pretty show-accurate? Yeah, I have those. They're appropriately clipped to my awesome shoulder bag (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/Blog%20Pics/X-masween11006.jpg).
Also, I finally got a blind-bag of Minty, so now my collectionis currently complete~
*stands over the army of 30+ 2-inch ponies and cackles maniacally*

Sorry if this has already been covered, I haven't read the whole thread.
I haven't had time to watch past the late first season yet so I just recently found out Derpy had a speaking apperance. I found out looking for a pony sparta remix for my 300th post(see angry dome). Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GoVh0p3UnQ
In the description I saw a link to this (http://www.change.org/petitions/save-derpy-and-hasbros-creative-process), a petition to save Derpy. It appears after the episode first aired someone complained and they edited Derpy's name out. I looked it up on the MLP wiki to check if this was true, and it was. I RAGE'd the hardest I have in a while.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVu949oYnXg
I continued reading and it seems that they put the original back in the DVD and recent reruns. It didn't say if the Itunes version was changed back, though I watch the episodes on YouTube so it doesn't matter to me.
Can anyone confirm if they did undo the changes? If not, then see the second video.
-
I can definitely confirm that the DVD has the true and original Derpy voice and name inclusion, at the very least. It's pretty awesome.
It's pretty awesome that episode's on the DVD at all, because it's one of the all-time greats.
-
Aw, that was a sweet episode. Fluttershy is so lovable. I really like the way Rainbow Dash encouraged her gently instead of her usual way. It speaks a lot of their friendship, I think.
But creepy overmuscled pony scares me. D=
-
But creepy overmuscled pony scares me. D=
You're not the only one, remember kids ponies and steroids don't mix well.
@MadCat, Derpy was only changed on the Itunes version, the episode on the reruns and the DVD are as they originally appear, sadly too many broines acted as if the world was ending for little reason, even so to troll and leave horrible messages behind on someone's DA page, blaming them for the whole Derpy mess.
-

Here's a real horse that's muscled out. Not sure if it's real but I think it is.
(http://equineink.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/kids-classic-style-running_sm-copy.jpg)
And here's a dog that has been confirmed as not being 'shopped by snopes. I think they said it was some kind of genetic thing.
(http://a2.img.mobypicture.com/f6971a48bc38f6617861cb0c284d998a_view.jpg)
Also, Horseforum.com (http://www.horseforum.com/) (Where i got the first picture, it appears to be a massive site.) y u no haz My Little Pony thread? I checked out of curiosity.
-
The Horse photo isn't that creepy (maybe because the horse is larger in size), but the dog sure is.
-
Wow. I was busy with other stuff today and forgot today was pony episode day. I just saw it on YT. That was amazing even by FiM's already high standards, I think. Tears weren't running down my cheeks, but my eyes were a bit watery by the end.
-

And like I said, the dog one is real.
I just found this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg-_HeVNYOk
I almost cried.
This video here sums up my thoughts pretty well on the whole Derpy matter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB_cb5ELYII
Is the name Ditzy really any better than Derpy? Does this shit mean we're never gonna hear Derpy speak again? If so then I'm a tad pissed off.
As the video said, what about Spongebob and Patrick? I remember plenty of episodes that made fun of Patrick being stupid, and that was completely intentional.
On a lighter note:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0l28Qmj9MY
-
I just watched the ending again. Okay. The tears are running down my cheeks. This episode did it. I cried. I haven't cried from any of the other episodes, but this one? Totally made me cry.
-
Fluttershy is such a badass, she can totally wreck your shit. a great episode, and some of the best Dash moments of the season to boot.
Also, that LSD moment was freaky as hell. if you've seen the episode, you'll know what I'm talking about.
-
yyyyep, looks like I need to marathon pony.
-
Steroid Pony is the best pony....YEEEAAAAAAHHH!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LCkACnhvXI
-
Well... that episode was really great. In a lot of ways, I think it taught us more about Rainbow Dash than it did about Fluttershy.
And it just had to come out while I'm trying to write an AppleDash fic... now I can think of is how tender Rainbow was being to Fluttershy...
-
Is Rainbow Dash... actually going through character development... without being the focus of an episode?
GG, storywriters. G fucking G.
-
Ok, what has everypony's favorite song of the season so far??
Mine is Smile, Smile, Smile, but I'm a sucker for a Pinkie Pie song..

I agree, this is probably pretty much the best song ever. Warm fuzzies~
The Flim Flam Brothers' song probably takes second.
-
For this season? Hmm... I kinda wanna say the song from May The Best Pet Win, but I'm kind of a sucker for anything with Rainbow Dash.
Though Winter Wrap-Up is easily the best song of all time.
-
^Beat me to it.
My favorite is the "Find a Pet" song, followed by "Smile, Smile, Smile" and then the Flim Flam Brother's song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtAVuyBlwsk
-
3:24 freaks me out.
I like winter wrap up.
-
My list for this season is:
1. Smile, Smile, Smile
2. Find A Pet
3. Becoming Popular(The Pony Everypony Should Know)
4. The Flim Flam Bros song
5. The Pinkie Pie Piggy song (the one from "Baby Cakes")
My all time favorite is Art Of The Dress
-
Becoming popular and Flim Flam Bros since it reminds me of the monorail song

Of course, the pony version is with Rarity. <3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSbXGsysAAk
-
So I caved. I bought the entire McDonald's set tonight. At my McDonald's, that means the following.
Keychain Rarity
Keychain Applejack
Keychain Fluttershy
Keychain Lily Blossom - I made up a brief history for her. According to me, she's a horticulture specialist from Manehattan with her own private garden on top of a skyscraper with no roof access. She is a pegasus pony, after all.
Keychain Pinkie Pie
Stand Rarity
Stand Celestia
I understand that a few of the toys are from last year.
Oh, and don't forget about Dashie. I have her linked to the sub-chain that holds my car keys. XD If I had a custom Cerberus keychain, he'd go on the house key ring.
-
I know there should be a Cheerilee in there somewhere, because I found the bag for her in one of the trash cans at work...
-
They had to start the new shipment to get her. I now own her, and have spent..um, a decent amount of money on ponies.
-
*remembers He know some one with a plotter* I'm gonna ask a friend if i can use his plotter to print a giant picture of twilight sparkle.
-
Put me down for “Find a Pet” as well.

After much research and repairs by the greatest scientific minds in ponydom...
(http://pinkie.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/133115985027.png)
...my computer now works! The panicking can cease, I have returned, ready to give my opinion on the latest episode, and...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Entertainer13/SorryDash.png)
...I see. Anypony, I really enjoyed the episode, despite the lack of fabulousity. No Rarity, but my toy-only pony is now canon!
(http://i.neoseeker.com/mgv/60953-Shadow%20of%20Death/953/117/blossomforth_display.png)
...I return to the internets, and here I am. Not the hairstyle I'd chosen, but adorable freckles, BUT the cause for massive sickness, the tricky little filly! Overall, happy to see she exists. She's not the somewhat shy artist I'd made her, but I can work with spunky lil' pony just fine.
In other pony news, I still can't get Dash, Twilight or Miss Rarity from McDonalds. ~sigh~
-
Good to see you back, E13! *flutteryay*
Major question for everypony! As I will be attending Bronycon as a member of Equestria Daily staff, along with our bad-flank wolf sysadmin Keiro, is ANYPONY else coming? There are plans to have Miles and Vormir (Miles' mate) there as well! Anypony at all?
-
Sadly, I live way too far away to attend on my budget.
-
I could live right next door to it and be unable to attend due to lack of finances D:
-
I could totally make it if I wanted to spend all my tax rebate. Instead, that's going to my comp and my Vegas trip this July.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Entertainer13/Concerned_Diamond_Tiara_S2E12.png)
Sorry!
-
Addendum for those that DO want to come: As friends of Equestria Daily staff, we could get you in the door for free, if it helps.
But I do understand about finances. I need to find work before I can go!

Unless that includes in the door of an airplane for free as well, I'm afraid I'm stuck in Florida during the con. ^^;
-
I'm actually in Wisconsin.
Dunno where it is or how far it is, but to be honest, I doubt I'd come anyways because I hate crowds :S
-
Man, I'd totally go to places if I didn't have to pay, didn't have to travel myself, and didn't have to work five days a week~

Florida? How did I miss that you lived down here too?
You'll have to count me out too. I'm probably going to hit FL Supercon instead.
-
im in Florida too... I have no money at the moment... :(
-
Icezer, L and Yae all in the same state? I know another pony down there, a fellow pre-reader... I smell a meet and greet possible!
(on that same note, how a con hasn't started in Florida yet, I do not know. That'd be awesome)
For the others: Bronycon June is taking place in New Jersey at a rather nice convention center, just over the border from New York. It's about a four hour drive for me. I'm gonna need a full tank...
-
Hey, if anyone wants to pick me up and let me be a freeloader, I'd be happy to go~ I just need time to take off work and save some money.
-
Priesting, I would love to go, and you can pick me upon the way since I live an hour away from you, I don't know what dates it is on so I can request those days off.
-
Well, that was an interesting episode. Though that photo of Rainbow in the paper made her look less like a "softie" and more like a "porn star".
The AJ/Big Mac role reversal had me laughing so hard.
-
So many fandom nods. Oh my goodness.
Oh, and let's see...oh yeah!
My life is complete! (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/foxtrot-features-ponies.html) ;D
-
Big Mac getting super mad at the CMC made me have many feels. Also, the NyanDash poster made a re-appearance in this episode.
-
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.

Cute episode, I always love seeing Rarity get mad, and seeing Diamond Tiara get whats coming to her.
-
Episodes like this are why I bought that set of Cutie Mark Crusader toys~ That's all I can really say.
Next week: another Pinkie Pie episode? Buck yes. <3
-
I love those crusdaders! Rarity was delightful, too!
-
(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1bf6phrOv1qjqw9ko1_500.png)
Can't wait!
-
I can see some people thinking of this episode as a little heavy-handed, but I didn't mind.
I also like how they subverted the "reverse blackmail" trope. I don't know the name or if there's a page, but they did. Rightfully so too. Not only was it a good moral lesson, but sensible. After all, getting Diamond Tiara wouldn't have solved shit. Everypony would still not trust them, and even less so if they didn't want to fix things. Bravo, CMC. CMC are best fillies.
On another note: There's a lot of nonstandard character design going on this season. Featherweight is a key example.
-

Another good example is the Steroid Pony from the last episode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_qaWhnxsMA
I'm sorry, I like him.
-
Ah, Roid Pony... he was one of the best parts.
-
You know, as the end of the season looms, I find myself wishing that A Canterlot Wedding was going to be shown over two weeks instead of both at once. Not because I don't want to see how it ends, but because it would mean one less week of drought before season 3 starts.
-
Ah, Roid Pony... he was one of the best parts.
YEAH!
-
Yae: We survived the last drought, we'll survive this just fine.
-
Yae: We survived the last drought, we'll survive this just fine.
But at what cost? Good ponies are going to die when magic runs low. If not directly by starvation, then by others looking to horde friendship.
-
I could never feel a drought, not while I'm ponyblogging~
Seriously, answering that one ask I get a week is probably the most fulfilling feeling I've ever felt. >w>
-
haybales, Tai, I don't even get an ask once a week... more like once a month if I'm lucky... but y'know what? I still love my tumblr.
Wouldn't trade the social love I have for the folks on there for all the bits in Equestria.
-
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.
EDIT
I spent a good two days trying to make Blossomforth's hair just how I wanted it before giving up and letting an actual girl handle her. (She's been bragging to the other's about it ever since!). Sadly, I went a different direction than the show.
I also discovered some "Squinkies" for five bucks that had a decent white cat that isn't clinging to a basket. The rest of the litter have been adopted by Fluttershy.

Fuck yeah! Oh, and as of this post, ponies have been on Netflix for only 4 days. It hasn't even been a fucking week and it's exploded in popularity. Oh, and...
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2011/07/18/netflixs-european-vacation.aspx
Netflix is growing. Bronies the world, rejoice!
-
Does anyone have any idea how to make Pinkie Pie's hair poofy, like it is on the show??
-
Show her some rainbooms.
Alternately, the plastic toys seem to interpret her hair as "like, a million swirls", so perhaps try some curlers.
-
Thanks
-
One strategy could be to wrap the hair around some pencils or some such, then give it a blast from a hair drier. Just be careful not to let the hair melt entirely. But the heat should help set the plastic hair strings to a new shape.
-
What Yae said. I remember my sister and cousins using that trick when I was a colt. Tight-wrapped curls for Pinkie, a loose spiral for Rarity. Three, four seconds, tops, and that should do it.
-
Saw this video with a bunch of criticisms of Brony culture and I thought it had valid points. Just wondering what everybody else thought.

Maybe it does make some valid points.
However, when the thumbnail has subtitles asking how you can "out-asshole" a fucking terrorist, then I have a hard time wanting to spend 40 minutes of my time listening to it.
-
I believe at that point in the video he is referring to his experiences with 4Chan.
-
I agree there are way too many assholes in the fandom.
On the subject of the inconsistencies,
1. Doesn't Twilight keep on refering to Nightmare Moon, as the Mare in the Moon in pilot, so it is possible that part of the legend was lost over time, it does happen IRL.
2. Twilight was an asocial bookworm, when she attended Celestia's school, so it's very possible she didn't go out much, so it's possible the upper crust of Cantorlot don't know about her. Also IRL, people seem to have short memories, so according the show it seems to be the same with ponies.
About the origin of the fan base it may have started with 4chan for many, but I'm sure many have different stories, I've never been on 4chan, and I started watching it out of nostalgic reasons(I loved G1 MLP as a kid) and if it wasn't for my mom telling me that MLP was on, I probably would have not found out about it until later.
-
Every fandom has assholes. The bigger the fandom, the bigger the assholes.
-
I plan to get to bed soon so I can watch ponies with my girlfriend on livestream. If Burger King fucking carried The Hub, I'd watch it there, but they don't so they can bugger off.
-
Tahaha, that was a great episode~ Pinkie Pie, you are an effervescent fountain of delight, and I love you very much. ^-^
Oh, and the parodies~ I don't think I've laughed so hard in quite a while.
A Pinkie Pie episode being excellent? Wow, what a surprise. =3

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.
And here's their reaction:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O3tAhQVU3k
-
I don't think I've laughed as hard as I did at a FiM episode than at that Bond parody "Here, hold my drink, gotta go destroy a cake"
-
The Bond bit really was the best part of the show. I had many lulz.
-
Is it bad that 5 minutes into the episode I had to get something sweet to eat??
The Bond part was too funny, especially seeing the Berry Punch & Carrot Top being his groupies
-
So I caught 3/4 of the pony part of today's Marathon.
1st: Dunno. New episode re-air perhaps.
2nd: Sweet and Elite
3rd: Baby Cakes
4th: A Friend In Deed
-
So, as one of the few ponies not to help ruin the cake, Applejack again shows she has the least to learn about being a friend.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz7dtIE6kQA

So I know not everyone has The Hub, but this question is for those who do.
Did you catch the pony part of the marathon?
-
I have the Hub, but I forgot about pony marathon

Here is Tai's rather modest pony collection, because I can:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/Bedroom/PonyCollection001.jpg)
Yep, that's a full set of blind bags, less the mane cast (they're over here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/Bedroom/TaisRoomUpdatePlus002.jpg), from the box set). Even that custom Meanie Belle (http://askmeaniebelle.tumblr.com/) is hanging around! I should've included my keychains, but oh well~
Never enough Pinkie Pie merch. Never.
I really can't wait until Nightmare Moon is added to this collection...
-
My new Opalesence and my two MLP DVDs aren't in it, but here's the rest of my collection.

Well, I didn't mention it back when it happened, but I did finish getting the entire mane cast and the 3 special figures from the blindbags.
(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w35/trainercardproductions/DSC00155.jpg)
Sadly, those are all the pony toys I have. I just don't have the money to sink a whole lot into it, and honestly, aside from the blind bag figures of important characters, the only things that would interest me are plushies.

So guys. I was at Perkins watching stuff on hubworld.com with my girlfriend - I take issue with watching YouTube on public wifi - and without even watching the clip, I came across a massive huge amazing spoiler. Yeah. The thumbnail for a Royal Wedding clip has something that's a gigantic spoiler. I'm serious, and not just trolling/trying to use reverse psychology. Anyone who doesn't care about spoilers can back me up on this.
Vinyl Scratch's gonna be in the finale. OMFG!

Quick toy question: You know that Rarity with the butterfly wings? Are those wings removable?

They're built in from what I can see when I handle her at work. Besides, the only reason you'd want that is for canon modding, right? RIGHT?

I always loved how Rarity laughs in that episode...too funny

Hay, that laugh made it into the soundboard, so it's doubly awesome.
Also, I need to get to work, oh muffins.

So I just watched the newest episode of "World's Dumbest..." on TRUtv when I noticed something that almost made me spit out my drink laughing. John Enos was wearing a shirt that had a picture of himself in pony form. Not sure what to make of this.
I honestly can't decide if I like these or not... :-\
I liked APPLE.MOV and I sorta like SHED.MOV, but I didn't like DRESS.MOV. Having just watched MAGIC.MOV, it reminded me of several things. The first being that the R-DASH-4000 reminded me both of a couple incarnations of Metal Sonic from Sonic The Hedgehog, and also of the episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force were they kill Carl and try to bring him back to life, including a a robot.
(Skip to 9:54)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pkcgw9K894
The other thing is Spike reminding me of my friend(the one with a bitch ex-girlfriend I discussed in the chat a while back for those that were there) when he said, "Give me a break, my girlfriend's trying to get me to quit weed". Which was rather odd in retrospect, because all 4 times they broke up(because she cheated on him with I-have-no-how-many-people, including her step brother) he went back to smoking weed, cigs, and drinking. I can see myself as mad scientist Twilight too.

Double-checked. Yeah, the wings are hinged in, so they can flap and stuff. ::)

And also muffins.
And also yet another Pinkie Pie toy~
-
Two words: Bucking epic~
Gyah, I don't even remember everything to write... Off the top of my head:
For some reason "My Big Brother Best Friend Forever" made me start to cry. I have no idea why. But I got my big Twilight plush and held her for a while.
Words I spoke at the end of part one: "Holy shit, did she just send Twilight to hell??" >w>
Changling Queen? Best design ever? Yes. Very yes. Please tell me those holes in the legs are a viable toy design, please please please~
Celestia actually doing something! Will wonders never cease??
I admit, I had no idea what you could do with an episode called "The Royal Wedding" and make it two parts, but, this is pretty much exactly what you do.
O hai, Luna. You didn't do much, but it was nice to see you again.
In summation, there is no way you could make this episode 20% cooler, no matter how hard you tried. It's pretty much awesome already~
-
Luna: "Did I miss anything?"
YES LUNA YOU MISSED SO MUCH
HOLY SHIT
Edit: the scene with Celestias crown coming off and her lying on the floor, defeated. was not expecting that, goddamn.
-
We have our theories, as pre-readers. If anypony's interested, I'll lay a few of them out.
Also, needed moar Luna (can you say combat magic?) and Scratch.
Also also, Twilight Gatling Mage Cannon is now a thing, and effectively canonizes the Fighting Is Magic crew's work.
-
I was very happy with the episode. I don't think it was better than the other two-parters, but it was a solid finale. I enjoyed that they didn't brony-cater too much, and held firm to themes targeted more towards the actual target audience. I sometimes get worries we, as a fan base, influence the team too much. Thankfully, this has never been fully proven.
Did I miss Derpy at all? I didn't see her.
-
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.
-
(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmt3qdRJXT1qafrh6.jpg)
It's nice to know that Pinkie's Party cannon is not only good for making instant parties, but also fighting against changlings
-
I think it's a shame that they only had two episodes to tell the story. I mean, they did an excellent job, but they were kinda pressed for time to resolve everything. I think they could've had more awesome if they had more time.
-
I don't see how they could've made it longer, actually, without making it drag on.
As it is... holy crap, this was MOVIE quality work.
I LOVED the villain song (which also doubled as a heroic "I want" song, of sorts), I loved the conflict, I loved how even Princess Celestia was not infallible (either morally or powerfully) and I loved how Luna actually got LINES.
Oh yeah, and the "Love Barrier Wave" was truly one of the most epic things I've seen.
Also, I loved the VILLAINOUS use of "Love is Power". And said villain also being arrogant enough to believe it was impossible for non-Changelings to have the power to weaponize love. Also, I loved how the MacGuffins weren't the solution to the problem, but were still proposed.
In short...
/)^3^(\ SO AWESOME!
-

I saw her with derp eyes in the background. I don't remember where, but I saw it. I'll find it again. I found it again!

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."

Seen through the eyes of a true prereader, eh? In defense of the show's crew, they only have about 44 minutes to tell the story, man. They can only fit in so much detail. The fandom will fill in the gaps, I'm sure.
This is why I mentioned that they could've done more if they had more time than just two episodes.
-
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.

^^ This.
If this is the way the show's going, I don't know if I'll even have much interest in season three."
Don't mean to sound like a bitch, but stop the dramatics...as someone who's part of the Star Wars fandom, I see a whole lot of this "I'm not going to be a fan anymore because of_____, ______ &______. And it's ANNOYING to no end. It only serves to make someone look like a whine baby. I'm not saying, you can't have complaints, just don't start the whole "I'm not going to be a fan anymore" bs. It's very unflattering looking.
-
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/

I liked the wedding episode.
I don't think it veered unacceptably from canon, especially since the fairy tale at the beginning is old pony folklore, from a time somewhere in between "Luna is banished" and "Luna's origins are forgotten and she becomes a bogeymare a la Nightmare Night." It's very possible that, as the alicorns are very long-lived (possibly immortal) and unusually powerful, that other ponies might have thought they were gods when they weren't. And lest we forget, even gods aren't all-powerful, necessarily--they're just waaaaay more powerful than most mortals.
-
I still see Celestia and Luna as physical goddesses.
and as Season 1, Episode 1 and 2 showed us, physical goddesses can be defeated. Celestia was sealed in the sun by Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon was defeated by the power of harmony.
In Season 2, Episode 26, a villain wielding the Power of Love was able, with no small effort, to defeat Celestia. What is Love if not the complete Element of Harmony? It contains friendship, loyalty, honesty, laughter, and kindness.
In short, Nightmare Moon > Celestia, Elements of Harmony > Nightmare Moon, Love = Elementals of Harmony, therefore, Love > Celestia.
-
this episode was awesome! we saw a filly twilight, Lyra talked!, they had some good songs, and Luna was there!
-
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.
Also, Phoe, one of the three blogponies, went nuclear with happy when Lyra spoke :3
-
That was an amazing episode I do wish though more Vinal Scratch.
-
The only thing that bothered me about the episode is that we've seen in past episodes that Twilight can not only teleport herself, but her with other ponies. When they going to get the elements, and ended up fighting with the changlings, she should've used a teleportation spell on herself and the rest of the mane 6, in order to get the elements.

*Hugs* I'm sorry I came off as somewhat of a bitch, in my one earlier post.

^ 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.
However, I would be remiss if I didn't say that the thought had occurred to me as well.
No offense, Priestling, but I've never come to see them as nigh-omnipotent. They raise the sun and the moon, but can be defeated. Otherwise, Nightmare Moon would've been impossible to defeat in the first two episodes.
That being said, they are still very powerful beings, and very ancient.
And I'm glad you're less depressed. :D
-
^ 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.
Good point, her magic does seem to be a bit wonky when under a lot of pressure. The best example being her story of the entrance exam in The Cutie Mark Chronicles.

Also, as for why she didn't teleport herself and real-Cadence out of the caves, I imagine that has to do with the fact that she didn't actually know where they were related to Canterlot. All she knew was that it was "under", but being skilled in magic, she would probably know that doing a blind teleport would be a bad thing... after all, ending up entombed in stone is not a pleasant way to go.
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.
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.

Meh, you're not bringing me down, dear. Besides, as you said, the Princesses are "nigh-omnipotent," not completely so. ;)
Plus, everybody's going to have an episode or two of a favorite show that rubs them the wrong way. Doesn't keep you from being a fan. :3

Awesome CS Lewis quote, Zach. Totally appropriate. :3
And yes, this is the way ALL love spells should be written in fiction, or at least the ones that are portrayed as actually being a good idea. (See also: Hearts and Hooves Day).
-
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.

we pre-readers are in agreement, Chrysalis is the 'cute monster girl' of MLP, easily.

Hells to the yeah. Damn, I think it's safe to say that My Little Pony is the flagship series for The Hub.
-
It is indeed extremely popular. I didn't think I was going to be a fan of the show myself and here I am in this thread.
-
A whole week late, I finally found the time to watch the finale. I skipped over some bits (yes, Cadence is a bitch to the others, I get it), but it is indeed awesome. Chrysalis lampshading the 'Power of Love' as a ridiculous concept got a chuckle out of me. In every other show, she'd be right. Though the ending had still a small taste of Deus ex Machina (after they had to put Dea Celestia in the machine earlier), it made sense.
For my fanfic, if Chrysalis hadn't been introduced in this episode, I would have to have invented her. I was lacking a more personal villain and she fits the bill perfectly. Now I have to get around to write it.
Re: canon, I too was worried earlier about Cadence being an alicorn breaking previously established canon, It does, but it's handled very unobtrusively and I'm not annoyed about it. If it's a problem to you, just think of her as a unicorn.
Pony-related anecdote from German politics: A few days ago, FDP president Philipp Rösler railed against the Greens in a speech, accusing them of trying to outlaw everything not fitting into their worldview with a list of made-up examples. After he mispoke "Ponyreiten"[pony riding] as "Ponywerbung"[pony ads], the Greens did [EDIT: Has since been changed. 'Twas a large pink pony (not in the FiM style) to the right of the content, with a "Ponywerbung" sign] on their homepage.

I have Netflix, but no clue when Season 2 will be available. Also waiting for Season 4 of FMA Brotherhood, now that I've finished 1 - 3.
Oh well, at least I still have loads of Avatar and SG-1.
-
So apparently this thing is going on (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/05/introducing-brony-thank-you-project.html)
A bunch of people have managed to raise a ton of money to run some kind of "thank you" ad on the Hub. Feeling kinda apprehensive about this to be honest but eh, maybe it'll turn out well.
-
Some people are just very grateful to the creative team. I see nothing wrong with that, but I've also bought a herd of merchendise and will continue to do so. Helping their paycheck is my thanks, so I feel no need to contribute at this time.
-
So I have to wonder who here is part a regional group and who here has gone to a meetup or two.
I'm a yes on the former and a no on the latter.
-
no to both questions
-
I'm part of a facebook group I don't participate in. I haven't gone to any meetups, because frankly, that's a lot of gas and money for events that usually boil down to, "Cake and watch and episode."
But, I'm spoiled and have a couple of fellow bronies to fan-gasm with, so meeting "others like me" isn't an issue.
Random topic: I'm uncomfortable with the term "pegasister." I liked the idea of having one term so as to be inclusive and not have "boys on this side, girls on that side, and you others can find a table somewhere else."
The use of "pegasister" obviously stems from the origin of the word brony coming from the term "bros." It also, however, references the birth place of the periphery demographic, in the bowels of the internet, /b/ channel of 4chan.org (b+pony). The term "brony" is only exclusive if one allows it to be. It boggles my mind, considering I've seen movements to drop terms such as "actress" and "stewardess" so as to put women on equal footing with men.
Perhaps, though, I'm overthinking. Perhaps this is merely a term some women like to rally around so as to intentionally differentiate, due to the male domination of the "bronies." I don't know. Just my thoughts, but as usual in cases like these, people can call themselves whatever they want. No skin off my nose, at the end of the day.
-
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
-
I thought "brony" was a gender-neutral term?? I prefer "brony" to "pegasister", I have no problem being on equal footing with the boys.

But it is channel /b/, not channel /br/. Though I suppose the phrase “hangin’ out with my fellow bonies” might result in a different sort of reaction… :)
-
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.

I recommend Legend of Korra. But I hear that the planned seasons are running short, so I think there will be a gap between that and MLP season 3.

The episode drought hasn't gotten to me yet. I'm so entrenched in Tumblr canon, I can go for months~

same thing here.. it keeps me sane during the Episode Drought.. *Twitch* Mostly...
-
I listen to the music of the show in my car every day. That's my favorite part of the series, anyway, so I'm good. Friendship is Witchcraft has some catchy tunes as well, and adding them to my increasing playlist has helped.
-
@ Plume: specifically, Thiessen mentioned at Bronycon September that only the first 13 episodes would be mentioned. The rest of season 3 is a mystery that Hasbro refuses to tell us.
Speaking of Tumblr... *goes to check if LMR has updated or not, even if he's getting weirded out by it finally*
Also, DAMN I wish we'd stop getting terrible fics. Two seasons, with canon to back us up, and we're still getting 'Dash-loses-her-wings-and-gets-suicidal' as well as 'Twilight-fucks-up-a-spell' fics. This is making me really want to make the moon cannon BIGGER.
-
How about "Twilight casts a spell and it succeeds" and "Twilight becomes an Alicorn" fics? Are those at all common?
-
The former we've gotten with 'She succeeds TOO well' and something goes wrong, and the latter... yeah, we've gotten one or two a week for the last... six months? at least?
-
Are at least 10% of them good? The Alicorn ones, I mean.
-
No, not really. I think we've gotten two in the last three months that were any decent. Lemme look... yeah, here's the last good one we've had: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/16375/Sharing-the-Night
-
So, after some thought, I thought I'd offer something, as a pre-reader.
For all those that read fic or listen to music, I'm going to extend the offer and do a little horn-work for you.
Give me what you most enjoy, either in writing or music, and I'll find you something that you'd enjoy, and you can go from there.

Okie, so Priestling (http://forums.fstdt.net/profile/Priestling/) invited me to join in this threadie, so here I am~!
My name's Pinkie Pie or Matty Jei; whichever you prefer~ I've been involved with the Brony community since August of 2011 but only massively involved and somewhat popular within it since late March of 2012~ I run several things:
- Friendship is Magic: United (http://fimunited.zapto.org) (a FiM fan forum community which welcomes everypony and turns nopony away)
- The Bronypants Projects (http://www.facebook.com/groups/bronypants/) (my brand in the Brony fandom)
- The Bronypants LATitude Alliance (BLA) (http://www.facebook.com/groups/bronylatitude/) (a sociopolitical activist/revolutionary group that is fueled by the Brony ethics of love, acceptance and tolerance)
- St. Cloud (MN) Area Bronies (http://www.facebook.com/groups/stcloudmnbronies/) (a local meet-n-greet group for the St. Cloud, Minnesota area)
- The Bronypants YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/mattyjei) (The official YouTube for the Bronypants Projects and the BLA; host of all my videos and the "Love Revolution Podcast," which was linked to on EqQ~)
- The Bronypants SynchTube Channel (http://www.synchtube.com/r/MattyJei) (The official SynchTube Channel for the Bronypants Projects; used for streaming events)
- The Bronypants Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/PinkiePiePants) (The official Twitter for the Bronypants Projects)
- Ask Pinkie Pie Anything~ (http://pinkiepiebronypants.tumblr.com/) (The official Tumblr for the Bronypants Projects and an official Pinkie Pie "Ask" fanon Tumblr)
- The Bronypants Blog (http://mattyjeibrony.dreamwidth.org/) (A Dreamwidth account that I don't use much anymore but is official)
I also am a member of Minnesota Bronies and all their subsidiaries and a representative to groups in the greater Midwest, the Lake Michigan area, St. Louis (Missouri), United States overall and Zagreb, Croatia~
I'm pretty active and busy in the fandom, as you can all see~ Admittedly, I am vehemently proud to call myself a Brony and I will forever be grateful to what the fandom stands for~ The Brony community has brought me peace and fulfillment; it was a huge factor in eradicating my chronic depression, it gave me a community of people where I was finally able to discover how to be real with others and with myself, it was a community that followed ethical standards that run counter to society's 'Look Out for Number One' mentality and it has--last but certainly not least--given me something I've craved my whole life: the capacity and chance to bring smiles, happiness and fulfillment to countless people...~ I grew up watching Care Bears religiously~ I thought they had the best job in the world and the best life in the world; what could be better than making a living off of love~? I get to live that dream now in the Brony fandom~! Love, acceptance and tolerance are best ethics~
It's nice to see a threadie here for Bronies~ It's great to see a group of ponies here working to point out social, cultural and political issues like I do~ That having been said, I passionately embrace the concept of friend-making and meeting new ponies; I always welcome the opportunity to share my positivity with others. Be warned: I breed positive chaos and perpetuate a whirlwind of crazypants~ However, I find that my unashamed presentation of myself attracts more people than it scares away, so come on in; there's lots of room in my tornado of awesomeness~
EDIT: Got the name and profile wrong for the member who invited me...sorries~

'ello there, Pinkie Pie. Welcome to the forums.

Apparently there will be a Derpy toy (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/popcandy/post/2012/05/exclusive-preview-the-2012-special-edition-my-little-pony/1#.T8ZYj9VYvni).
I'm not sure Hasbro will be prepared for the amount of money that will be thrown at them.
-
Making it a con exclusive is simultaneously both the most brilliant and most disappointing news I've heard in a while.

I knew this thread would get a jump start for this :3
And rumor is that the Derpy toy is a test, to see how much she's actually bought up.
-
My prediction is "insanely". That's how much.
(http://arch.413chan.net/shut_up_and_take_my_money-%28n1299989040607%29.jpg)
-
They'll make exactly as much money off it as they do every other exclusive. They only make so many of the things, and only sell them for that one day at that one place.
There's only so much profit to make that way. It's more about motivating the fanbase than actually turning a profit off that specific toy.
-
Oh, I'm motivated. Motivated enough to kill.

The "weird, for adults" toys tend to be convention exclusives. I believe long-time pony-fans have been given one ever couple years.
I'll likely pay out the nose on ebay for it. :p
EDIT: Now seeing the dates, I am happy. I'm on vacation that week and can hopefully try and time buying it on-line. I'll have to check with my toy-collector guru at the comic shop for tips. He has to fight for those He-Man exclusives.
-
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~
I decided to cross-post this item in this thread as well, since it's relevant.

Well, it's hardly a thought-out list.

Most of the stuff around AJ is booze-related... 'Applejack' itself, as mentioned, 'Appletini' in Bridle Gossip, the effects of cider...
So, she doesn't do Berry Punch any favors, is what I'm saying.

I agree, I had fun drawing her. Even if I actually probably drew her sober when I drew her, because she was the barkeep instead of a bar patron. (Who else in Ponyville would own a bar, though?)
Heck, in one pic (http://darkfiretaimatsu.tumblr.com/post/23538946633/continuing-the-bar-theme-i-seem-to-have-going), she's downright rational~

But almost everypony has a name directly related to what their talent is. The only exceptions I can really think of at the moment are Pinkie Pie and Apple Bloom.

"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.

No, I got where the name and came from and why, but it's just very stupid and corny.

Is his last name Sparkle?
-
Is his last name Sparkle?
Ponies don't really seem to have last names as we understand them. They may have a "family name" of sorts that fits the predominate talent that runs in their blood, such as "Apple Family" for Applejack and her relatives. But I seriously doubt her name is actually "Applejack Apple". However, the family name may often be worked into the name itself.
Even if Twilight's wider family are known as the Sparkles, he wouldn't be known as "Shining Armor Sparkle". He's just "Shining Armor", who comes from the Sparkle Family.
-
We might get more clarity if Pinkie's family showed up, considering she was called Pinkemina Diane Pie.

I just want some concrete info on AJ one way or the other. She's REALLY gotten the short end of the stick in both seasons.
-
I think the worst thing with Applejack is that she doesn't have a song to herself yet.

That'd be nice too, yes!

You only need a song if you have something to learn, and as AJ always proves,...

Well, Tara Strong is awesome.
http://www.dailydot.com/society/tara-strong-twilight-sparkle-phone-call/
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.

Hecks yeah it is. The bottle keeps saying "120% daily recommended Vitamin C". I drink bottles of this stuff per week. I'm gonna have so much Vitamin C, I could release cover versions of "Vacation (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vacation)".

When you say apple juice, do you mean filtered or unfiltered?
-
For me, unfiltered, if I can get it. Just doesn't taste right otherwise.

I have absolutely no idea~

Relatively easy to determine: is it clear or opaque?
Speaking of apple juice, between the last post and this, I let a bottle of it drop. Ugh.
-
I don't pay that much attention to it, but I think in general it's clear.

that's filtered cider. It's okay, but... it changes the flavor a bit.

As Nom reminds me, everypony doesn't go there.
As far as the Flim Flam brothers song goes, you gotta work up to it. Get a transcript of the lyrics, read through them slowly, and then continue to build speed as you become more and more comfortable. Some voice exercises for ennunciation can also help.

Now my day is 20% more awesome!
And they can say Apple again!
-
Okay, for those interested, I have a stack of business cards so folks can look at art and such, and maybe commission these awesome pones.
On another note... Bronycon was on fire briefly on Saturday. Literally on fire. An electrical contact in one of the overhead lights melted, sending flaming plastic down onto the concrete below. Had to call in the fire department and reschedule things and everything. It wasn't major, but it was a headache for the staff.
The socializing? awesome. We literally partied all night. I bartended every night, too, meeting artists like Buttercup Saiyan (who does rule 34 art and BEAUTIFUL SFW watercolor paintings), Carnifex (of the Ask Velvet tumblr), WillDrawForFood (as in Ask Surprise), Boiler3 (whose tumblr is awesome), got downright snuggly with Fetchbeer (the resident boozing zebra, who's a total sweetheart), SmittyG (who does amazingly well-detailed art in general, even if his talent lie more in the realm of Rule 34 as well) and Lil Miss Jay (of Ask Lil Miss Rarity).
Did I mention that the mousepads one of the pre-readers was selling sold out in an hour and banked him 1200? He'll be attending next con with 200, rather than just 80.
And for the writers panel (that I was on, natch)... well, once it's up on Youtube, I'll link it here.
-
Ooh, hearing about art is a good thing. I have a pal who wants to start a satirical Tumblr pony askblog, but he is no good at arting. I told him I'd put out some feelers to my contacts in ponyland and see if anypony wants to collaborate for him.
-
Of all the footage I've seen, the most amusing thing for me was the following tweets by Tara Strong:
Me & @MMeghanMcCarthy kidnapped a Brony!....details to follow
Confusion followed, but then all was explained.
gave him a ride to the hotel cuz he knew not how long his friends would b & couldn't leave him @ airport, Bronynapped!
I was amused. :)
-
Yeah, Tara Strong was apparently made of win and badass. Was a BITCH and a half trying to meet any of the celebs though, compared to January. the lines were brutal for autographs, as I understand it. Three hours, kind of lines. At $20 a pop, minimum, times several hundred ponies...

I'm still going to send you SWAG.MOV when it comes out 8)
But, the style and humor of PONY.MOV is much different thatn MLP:FiM. But have you checked out the Jappleack blog? It's building a strong story.

I prefer Friendship Is Witchcraft, and Epic ____ Time videos.

Oh, by the way.

We watched it at Bronycon, and just about everypony's in agreement: It needed to be split into two or three vids.

Perhaps so, but it was an epic watch.
Also, for me, Youtube tends to save my progress, so I could literally pause the video, click it off, do something else, re load the video, and start in the vicinity of where I left off.

You both fail at spelling 'Luna' correctly, it seems.

It's spelled "Spike"
Seriously, guys, the spelling errors in this thread are astounding ;D

... I'll let that one slide, Zach. We need more Spike episodes.

I saw some fellow bronies at the mall today, one of them even had a DJ P0N-3/Vinyl Scratch felt hat on.

If sea ponies exist in season 3, I'll quit as a pre-reader.
Also, it was pretty much 'confirmed with not-confirming' that Trixie IS coming back for S3. No telling on what the plot of that episode will be though...
I'm still waiting for my Canterlot-specific episode, myself. Luna hitting Celestia with a snowball in the middle of Summer Court, the Royal Guards out shopping, that kinda thing.

Yeah, I'm not big on the Sea Ponies, they creeped me out as a kid, and more so as an adult. I really don't understand why so many want them to be included in MLP:FIM.
Also FUCK YEAH, Trixie's coming back...I love the bitch.
We need a Scootaloo episode.

I hope we can see RD's and Fluttershy's family. Also, should Spike and the CMC grow through the seasons?

I could see the Shining Armor thing...
And unless we're getting a beach and swimsuits episode, I don't think it's going to happen with the sea ponies.
I do want to see Spike get some 'normal' growth, rather than greed...

You know though I happen to find the Sea Ponies to be creepy, I have to admit, I like the song, and it's a total earworm.
-
"You guys drowning? Oh, that's cool. Take a breather while we sing a song. Then, BAM!, back to the surface with ye!"
Their introduction was sudden, confusing, and thankfully, brief.
I will accept this from the old guard, however:

Why have I not heard this song before?? This song is so full of win. I love silly ponies, though I do prefer them to be cross-eyed pegasi.
-
oh dammit, E...
And Nick, it's from an old sing-a-long tape released in the UK back in G1.
-
oh dammit, E...
Oh, just pick your favorite pony song and listen to it a couple times. That'll get it out of your head, and soon you can just smile, smile, smile!

Want to know something even better? we have a new meme:
"Making Einstein's Theory of Relativity our bitch since 2010"
Why, you may ask?
Because that duet was remixed and posted to Youtube inside of eight hours. A song that hasn't even been officially released yet has already been remixed. Think about that. Then realize the sheer amount of awesome one fandom can produce.

Unfortunately, Discord took Fluttershy down with him. Fortunately, it wasn’t her last life and the win counted.

Honestly, all of your obsessions with such vulgar and pompous ponies makes one wonder sometimes. One should always seek fabulousity!

Miss Rarity is endearing. I honestly have no idea how you could think otherwise.

Speaking of Rarity, I'd like to promote my friend's tumblr~ He's been ponyblogging for all of 20 minutes, but he's heard about it for weeks from me. He needs attention, and also an artist. An artist would be very helpful. Anyway, you should probably go bother Trailer Trash Rarity (http://trailertrashrarity.tumblr.com/)~

Ok, this is going to be a semi-rant. Are you happy now (http://forums.fstdt.net/entertainment-and-television/tv-shows-that-need-to-die/225/), Priestling?? I love you dude, but people who don't like the show don't give a rat's ass who does the voices on the show, and nothing will change their minds. Now we have what looks like a stupid thread derailment, and someone who decided to label fans "man-children"(which some do act that way, to be fair). Did we not learn anything from ponygate, some months ago??
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/277/6/6/derpy_approved_by_ambris-d4bv8qn.png)
-
So are we blaming people for others overreacting to them?
-
I'm not blaming anyone, but Priestling should know that non pony fans don't give a flying rats ass about the show or any of the voice actors attached to the show and should at least know that non pony fans can be dicks about the show, and like to label most fans as being douchebags. I don't mean to come off as a bitch.
-
I just ignore it, Nick. Love and tolerate, that's all I do :3 If I show the show to a friend and they don't get into it, I don't badger them about it, and I limit my pony references around them to keep the annoyance to them down. I don't hold it against anypony. They're entitled to their opinions, even if they happen to be semi-hostile about it. I treat them like I would Trixie, Gilda, or Blueblood. Smile, nod, be pleasant, and don't let them bother you. I've rather taken up the policy 'what would Celestia do?'
-
Priestling isn't being obnoxious with the references. If other people want to be obnoxious with their responses, that is not his problem.
-
Seriously, it's like you can't even mention the word "pony" outside of this thread without people whining for several posts about how it's being shoved down their throat.
Kinda telling when one post is met with 9 posts of complaint. Meaning the dislikers are actually talking about it more than the likers ;D
-
If it helps, that means more press for us because folks will watch to see what all the fuss is about, and we just smile and nod and ignore the hate. Either they'll give up, or we win them over with love and tolerance.
-
So the show is now on during Prime Time, although I think it's just Tuesdays. I think that's kinda neat, personally.
-
AWESOME FAN MUSIC VIDEO

Someone dissed MLP.
Someone defended it.
I don't see the issue? Did some posts get deleted? The thread discusses people's opinions on shows that should be cancelled. I don't read it since I got annoyed after two pages, but isn't the point of such threads to sometimes have a little back and forth. I don't believe a handfull of posts on the subject of the quality of a show in a relevant thread constitutes a "derail." I'd definately watch out to make sure it doesn't become too focused, but it turned to a few jokes rather quickly, so... not seeing the dealy.

Yeah, I make a mountain out of a molehill sometimes, but I don't like to step on people's toes over trivial matters. I'm one of those people who can be a worrywart about how people view me IRL and it does spill over onto the internet sometimes( funny, eh??), it's really something I have to work on. So, I'm sorry.

You know, I have two ideas for fanfictions tha tI want to mention, although I don't know if they'll ever go anywhere.
The first would involve Scootaloo and Fluttershy and somehow relate to Scootaloo's inability to fly.
The second would use some kind of plot point to turn Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Pinkie into like, astral versions of themselves or something. I dunno. I guess the my idea would be taking the glittering pony blind bags and putting them in a canon story.
As you can see, the fanfics are in rough idea territory right now. Also, I've never really completed other fanfic ideas and worked them good enough to be their own stories, so I doubt these will ever get off the ground. Bleh, this is why I'm not really a fanfic writer.
Although I do think it would be interesting if a Scootaloo issue focused on her inability to fly.
-
Although I do think it would be interesting if a Scootaloo issue focused on her inability to fly.
I don't really get why she can't fly. Is it only her? Pound Cake would fly and he's a baby.
-

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?

And Word of Faust/Thiessen is that the Cake foals' abilities are temporary, and they'd likely end up... well, like Scoots and Sweetie.

-
Ok, I can't take it any longer, Does anyone have any idea when the new season starts??
-
Last I've heard, VERY rumor-ish, September 29th.
-
Meh, it's better than no news, I guess.
-
If you think this is a brutal waiting period, the break between Season 1 and 2 was way worse. everybody was freaking out at the fact that Faust left and that the show would suddenly start sucking.
-
For some weird reason the break between Season 1 & Season 2 didn't really effect me that much, unlike this break is...
-
it's because you're hooked, and there's worries that S3 really WILL suck... Faust didn't leave in an official capacity until S2 was actually done, storyboarded, voice work, and all that. Me? I'm glad they're bringing back things like , along with , among other things. Now if only we could hit all the idiots with crowbars in the EqD comments...
-
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.
-
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.
This is what I'm looking forward to the most.
This, and perhaps a possible return of Gilda.
-
I would like to see an Applejack song, out of the mane 6, she hasn't gotten a song of her own yet. Also we need more Scootaloo, it seems that Sweetie Belle & Apple Bloom get way more air time than poor Scoots.
-
I'm very sad to say, but Flutterdragon was Jossed, last I checked. It was a joke.
... though, knowing the show creators, it's possibly a double fake out.
-
AWWW THAT SUCKS!!! I was so looking forward towards it.
-
Things I want to see in season 3:
- Scootaloo episode, Scootaloo episode, Scootaloo episode
- Another Trixie appearance
- An Applejack song
- More Pinkie Pie songs!
Things I'd want to see in season three that are statistically unlikely to ever happen, so I won't be disappointed when they don't:
- More Nightmare Moon
- More Screwball
- Lyra and Bon Bon official couple
- A full Derpy episode
- Animated adaptation of "Story of the Blanks"
- Appearance by or mention of the Smooze
-
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?!
-
I would die a happy person if there was a full episode dedicated to Derpy. Cross-eyed ponies are the best.

Admittedly, Nick and Tai, a Derpy episode could be doable... it'd just have to be handled delicately... and Hasbro's pretty much dedicated to just keeping her in the background after The Last Roundup backlash...
That being said? I've heard rumor that villains (as in, not Trixie) will be making a return. Maybe more NMM? More Discord? Chrysalis being a recurring pain in the plot? who's to say?
... I'm voting for all three, for the record. It'd be nice to have some hamminess from the Darkness, the Chaos, and the Cute Monster Girl of the baddies.

Because internet, Lexi.
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.

Summary:
1. Bioware puts a picture of a Shepard/pony fandrawing on their facebook page because they thought it was cute.
2. People get furious, several fans start flaming the page and unfriend Bioware and even declare that they will sell the games. (Apparently Mass effect has now been "tainted" by ponies or something.)
3. Bioware replies with love and tolerate message.

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). Hey, if it's not your cup of tea, fine. You have a problem with some of the assholes in the fandom, fine, I do too. But don't be a fucking dick about it, and grow the fuck up.

I'm not even sure you need to name names about it.

Yes, I'm very well aware of some of the haters on this very forum about the whole pony thing. Quite frankly, it's kinda sad. It's sad that there is a lot of hate over a show and that people who enjoy it are being lambasted, censored and derided all over the internet over MLP. Shouldn't someone who likes a show, a game, etc be allowed to make artwork, discuss etc about the subject?

Also, Bill and Ted reference. "be good to one another"... ah, memories. Back when Keanu could act and Carlin was alive, the magnificent bastard.

I haven't found the Nightmare Moon set yet, but today I went out to Target and picked up the brushables for Lyra and the Great and Powerful Trixie (*fanfare (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHQHPAdOdtU)*). My collection is looking pretty awesome at this point.

I think I finally figured out just what it is that caused Friendship is Magic to develop such a following.
The kinds of people that are fans of the show were also fans of 80s and 90s cartoons when growing up. Quite frankly, most of what is released today absolutely pales in comparison to what was released back then. In fact, "good cartoon" has become an oxymoron lately.
And there's another thing. Just because we're adults doesn't mean we magically stopped being fans of cartoons. Cartoons helped raise us. They're a part of our identity, our culture.
Friendship is Magic is rare in that it's a cartoon that doesn't suck nowadays. It's nothing too innovative (other than being the first girl's cartoon since She-Ra to not suck) but in a way, that's why it appeals to us.
It is what we have been missing. A decent cartoon for us to enjoy. To remind us of the Age of Imagination that has faded away.
Quite honestly, except for nostalgia channels, Friendship is Magic is superior to most cartoons on television today. It actually manages to be more clever, witty, and funny than shows that are actually directed at adults (when cartoons aimed at adults are dumber and less mature than a show aimed at little kids, there's something fucked up in the world)
...It's kinda odd, but MLPFIM is actually more mature and intelligent than a lot of cartoons today (and, to an extent, more intelligent than a lot of other shows, too.) Which is part of why it's so good - it's not condescending towards its target audience.
It is an oasis in a desert of bad television. And animals all like to gather together at the watering hole.
That being said, I still miss the Age of Imagination, but Friendship is Magic helps a bit with that.
Now... is it a show aimed at little kids? Yes. We bronies are a periphery demographic. Should we feel ashamed for watching it?
Nope. C. S. Lewis said it best.
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.
"On Three Ways of Writing for Children" (1952)
-
Well, I kinda thought most of that was obvious, Zachski.
I mean... it's really not hard to see the difference between modern cartoons and the ones from, say, the early 90s. They've been, as a whole, getting dumber and dumber for years. Most don't even try to be intelligent or tell a story anymore. They just throw random bullshit at kids in the hopes of making them laugh.
In the end, I think a lot of it boils down to perception. People automatically associate anything animated with children. Very few people are willing to looking at "cartoon" as a medium that can be used to express a multitude of different things, rather than a singular genre. For instance, Avatar: The Last Airbender was the first US cartoon in years that actually used animation to tell an epic story, rather than as a delivery vehicle for slapstick comedy.
Now we have MLP:FiM that tries to fall somewhere between Avatar and a more traditional cartoon. It tells a cohesive story, but in a far more episodic manner, and with lots of funny stuff mixed in. But there's still a solid story in there being told.
That's really, at the end of the day, what so many modern cartoons lack. Any kind of actual story. They spend all their time displaying random events that never actually lead anywhere. Maybe that's fine when your target audience is 7 year olds, and the next year it's the new batch of 7 year olds and you don't care about the ones who are 8 now. But it doesn't lead to anything resembling a fanbase, because the people who enjoy the show change as the old audience grows bored and a new one takes its place until it grows bored too.
-
That's the problem... cartoons today treat 7 year olds like they're stupid.
When I was 7, I loved Pirates of Darkwater. That was an epic show with epic storytelling.
Best of all, it didn't talk down to the kids. It told a story for the purpose of entertainment. It gave us adventure, which is what we wanted.
Television today, outside of imported cartoons, tends to be stupid. I mean, granted, there were some good shows between 2000 and 2010, but they were the kinda showed that got axed halfway through in favor of pushing more mind-numbing crap through. (Dragon Booster, American Dragon Jake Long, etc.)
Honestly, I'm not even sure what passes for cartoons today. Thundercats 2011 was GREAT, being basically the new Avatar in storytelling equivalency. However, it doesn't seem like it's going to continue past the second season, despite being in the middle of the story. (This is one thing I would be glad to be proven wrong on)
I think Legend of Korra is the only other good cartoon nowadays...
So many cartoons that lack adventure. Even FiM has more adventure than 90% of TV today, and it's a fucking slice of life cartoon XD
-
A few other cartoons that got axed in favor of dreck? Megas XLR, Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and Samurai Jack.
Seeing MLP not only survive, but THRIVE in this day and age? Luna's Night, that makes me proud.
-
1. I will never stop loving cartoons
2. I will never stop loving "kid stuff".
3. Samurai Jack was an awesome cartoon, but I like a lot of Genndy Tartakovsky's work, such as Dexter's Laboratory, and Star Wars:Clone Wars(though I wish the episodes were a little longer, I didn't like that the episodes were only 15 minutes long).

Priestling told me that he believes it's airing the 29th of this month...if that's true that is so full of win(according to me) given that is the same day when season 5 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars airs.

I'll mark my calendar just in case this is true~

the 25th is the rumor, yes. Unfortunately, we really haven't gotten anything CONCRETE since then.

So this was on the back of my Ghostbusters comic I bought today:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/andsean/Blog%20Pics/IDW-PoniesAreComingResized_zps2826f2d1.jpg)
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited. I love comics, I love ponies, two great things that go great together. You're damn right I'll be buying every dang issue~ I haven't been this excited by new comics since, well, Ghostbusters got a monthly title (though both the Adventure Time comics have been pretty sweet, too). IDW, you sure know how to make me happy~
-
SWEET!!! The funny thing is that as a comic reader(though I only really read Star Wars comics), I often felt that there should be an official MLP:FIM comic. This pleases me greatly...
On Edit: I just pre-ordered mine from the comic book shop (http://www.tfaw.com/) I like to order from over the internet.

This needed to be said. This is the text that goes along with it:
"I see memes on MLB [My Little Brony] all the time about how great we are, yet I never see any meme about what we DO that makes us so good. Why don't we see any memes about the community's charity work instead of more self-praise?"
-
... actually, I don't know why that is. Between humble bundle, and bronies for good, and all the rest...
-
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.

This "patting yourself on the back for something that's not really happening" bullshit is annoying the fuck out of me.
One of the more prominent trolling episodes that comes to mind is the whole "Jerry Springer" fiasco. People overreacted, which led to the people who went on the show to provoke bronies further. He's even set up a blog space in which he's gloating of how proud he is that he pissed off so many people.
On that note, I do find the attention-whoring, ego-fapping nature of the guy to be both disgusting and sad. Of course, I find the fact that he was fed so heavily to kind of be sad, too.
-
On that same note, one of my BROTHERS is getting shit from bronies.
Why? Because he genuinely does NOT like the show. He tried, for the sake of his boyfriend, and didn't like it. I've had more than one discussion with him about how he sees the characterization of the Mane Six compared to, well, me. There's a mental block there that will not budge, and I don't bucking HOUND HIM over it.
But apparently, that doesn't mean that other bronies won't be complete COCKS to him when he says "I don't like it, and I don't really understand WHY people like this show."
As a result, I'm gonna have to smack a few bitches. And I don't mean D Dogs.
-
Please do.

I dunno why they went on Springer thought they would have learned their lesson from Springer
