My Little Pony XII: No One Can Groove Like the Girls with the Hooves

Page 28. 22 to go in this thread, who knows how many in the next? A question, for those who actually read this massive text wall.

Is that weird?

Is it strange at all that I am going through every post I missed, looking for things to comment on? It feels appropriate, so I do it. But it may just be habit, because I don't know any better.

Well, I'm feeling a very real sense of guilt and a compelling desire to apologize to Grif before drinking cold, drugged tea. And I wasn't feeling that before reading through your catch-up post.

So I would say that no, this isn't very strange, and actually I appreciate your dedication very much.

Now if you'll excuse me... *sip* *ker-thud*

All things will be monocle. You will feel only alfalfa.

Are those like canon awesome adjectives or fandom but really either way those are pretty sweet.

By the GODS. I last left off on page 43 of the last thread before I had stuff to do last night and work today. Do I even want to try catching up on all of that?

Someone gimme the TL;DR, what did I miss in terms of mass insanity?

I feel like a meany for not reading all. But it's late and I'm tired. I will tomorrow.

Rarity sounds rather... dandy-ish. Would that be the correct term?

Oddly enough, the mayor and Granny Smith still sound feminine, out of the whole cast. It'll be interesting to see the rest of them.

Interesting, I thought Twilight and Pinkie sounded the most like women. Fluttershy is very soft-spoken, but that's within range for males to me.

Also, a pity that the EQ speed writing contest starts now. That's too late for me.

Third post on the front page?

First page? What's that? I've heard rumors of an OP, but I've never seen one. Is that what you meant?

[Qaera]

Ah that makes a lot more sense, thanks.

[DeadManSleeping]

Oh man the DJ in Episode 14 is the bomb.

Her (fan) name is Vinyl Scratch, also known (in semi-canon) as DJ P0n-3. She is amazing.

Here is a resource for you to use (which I can't find on the first post, so I'm guessing it's not there): Friendship is Magic Wiki. You can find ponies by appearance, since they all have pictures in their entry. Just check by species and have a bit of patience.

I don't even. You probably missed pony noir; there's an SMBG thread for that now, just check out Kai's sig.

Scootaloo: the Pegasus of Destiny, the greatest of all possible pegasi, and cute as a button.

Scootaloo is probably my favorite Crusader. Despite her avoidance of 'girly' things, she has some adorable poses.

You're going to fit in just fine here, friend.

Why miss a perfect opportunity to use Pwn? DJ Pwn-3 has so much more pwntontial.

Fifteen minutes.

I've got my totems. The Celestian Sun pin. A golden replica of a spanish piece-of-eight. Both sit to the left of my netbook. Despite the fact that I recently acquired a very nice Thanqol-ish hat from my pater, it will not be worn tonight. Wrong ambiance. I do wear, however, an armband, a replica of an article of clothing worn by one miss Haruhi Suzumiya. My desk has been shifted a few inches to the right, so that I can rest my netbook on my desk instead of on my lap as normal. My undone math homework has been set aside, on the floor. No distractions.

Ten minutes.

I lied. There's one more totem I've got tonight. It's a dun-brown stone, perfectly smooth, with cracks running under its immaculate surface. I got it a few weekends back. It's from the Jordan river, where He walked. It's sitting next to the sun and the coin. A reminder of why I write.

Close a fanfic. Finish reading a few writing articles; leave the one on how to hook a reader from the first line open, and wince at the one on why my novels aren't finished yet. It's because editing and researching and outlining aren't writing, per se, and yet the outlining never seems to work out right the first time. One day I'll get it right, and be better because of the failures. Read SiuiS's mega-post. Crack a smile.

Five minutes.

Take a deep breath. Get ready to queue up appropriate music. Blackmore's Night and the Merlin Playlist of Touhou Remixes may be used if no appropriate music is found pertaining to the writing prompt. And At The Winter Gala and Princess Luna: Reimagined.

Three minutes.

Deep breath, deep breath. Open up Write or Die in another tab. Pray that firefox doesn't crash. Save and close your multiple Word documents, and promise yourself that you'll finish that Summer Civics Essay next week, really, honest. Make sure your ice water is close at hand.

@Raz_Fox: You won't be reading this because you must be feverishly writing right this very second or you'll never make it in time oh my god what should we do?, but good luck with your speedfic.

Accursed D&D!

Oh well. Hopefully they do it again.

We at Equestria Daily believe in nothing but awesome ideas around the clock. If you are interested in attempting this, there's still plenty of time. Cereal's inbox hasn't gotten flooded in a goodly long while, do your part in breaking him again ok?

<Epic Teleports In>

<Contignencies kicking in, frying the droids>

<Crooked smile mode: On>

Silly Aorts, since when you were under impression that things I stole can't be used to construct a temporary phylactery?

<dramatic pause>

Duh, some poor zombie shouldn't have spent so much time with them, creating a nice solid bond. Now, in you go!

<Traps Aorts>

Now, I wonder where I should leave that. Maybe in Pinkie's house, the place is so chock full of positive energy that any Lich trying to reform there will spontaneously combust, heh heh

...or maybe I'll think about something more cruel altogether

<Epic Teleports Out>

Merely slapping me with your "phylactery", and then assuming the spell worked just because I just stood there stock-still and my eye glows went out (which is like closing my eyes) and giggling before 'porting off did not, as they say, accomplish much.

But thanks for making a mess of my office. Real nice. Very friendly of you. I absolutely wanted to spend my entire evening picking out fragments of War Droid from all of my personel effects, rather than playing Starcraft 2. And I didn't want to spend tomorrow, which is my day or rest, actually resting or anything, when I could piecing all my stuff back together and having to write reports and work on tightening security.

*sigh* Well, I suppose the War Droid's shields wouldn't have been much use against the OFC, anyway. And my other defensive spells I'd put up for anti-OFC purposes don't last long enough to be practical... Nevermind.



*shakes head* Trixie, you lack understanding of advanced necromancy. My soul can't be trapped any more than yours can, unless you very actually kill me. That's kinda the point of spirit-binding. It works in exactly the same way resurrections do, just the actual method of securing the bond is different. My soul doesn't "come out", anymore than yours does (actually less so, since part of spirit-binding makes much more solid bond with the body). Furthermore, Lord Death Despoil is the greatest necromantic talent in the entirety of history, and he developed the Aotrs standard necromancy, and he personally spirit-bound me.

The only way of getting my soul out of my skeleton is permenantly kill me. Which would take far more than the OFC. Let me let you into a little secret I've discovered. The OFC, and Pinkie's little giggle-dispersion technique hurt like you wouldn't believe, and they may even disintegrate my body. But they can't kill me or they already would have done. In fact, from my experiences, I know that they flat-out can't. Their magic is so pure and innocent, that it actually complete disbars the possibility of killing even one of us. It's such an alien concept to the power of friendship, it makes it impossible to actually take a life - or even an unlife.

Still, I'm quite impressed that you actually tried to murder me in cold blood. Tsk tsk tsk. And in a nice thread like this, to. That's not very friendly, now is it. Or very tolerant. In fact, to so such a thing would take a great deal of...well, hatred, wouldn't it...?

Captain? Excellent. You see, while you've been reading my endless spiel, and thanks to everyone shooting the wotsit out of me today, the good captain has actually managed to hack into some command codes. I've quite forgiven Gadora for his earlier...trigger-happiness...since it was partly his tweaking of the firecontrols earlier that inadvertently gave us an easy way in. Fire control to my station, if you please captain.

You have been a naughty pony, Trixie, whose behavior is not fitting for a citizen of Equestria. And - unlike me - you don't have a good excuse... (Held to a higher standard and all that.)

And so: fire.

Now, let's have no more murder attempts, shall we, or I will have to politely ask DarthBobcat set to Fluttershy on you. He's cool, I'm sure he'll accomodate me if I ask nice.

[Orzel]

Uuggghhh... Too much pony


And now the organization staff wants a real Bronycon.

Not 100 people singing "Winter Wrap Up" in a room or 50 people voicechatting with Eurobeat Brony.
They want 200 people rocking out to a band playing the Cutie Mark Crusader song.

We have a venue. And a date sorta (Mid August). Now we need a band to play pony songs.

Stallion, if I had pony tees today. I could have made 100's.

So I suppose now would be a bad time to ask you about experiments on determining on what the effects of constant saturation of Friendship-based weaponry has on the unliving?

I've been offering to post something close to this since thread one.

So I'm some sort of pony hermaphrodite now?

Asexual maybe?

And as usual, I remain entirely unaffected by the gender swapping spells.
