edit: Photo Finish and Hoity Toity is together, Beyond Forever is canon!

double edit: I seem to have the talent of grabbing the last post on a page....

I opened it, then spent five minutes looking for various ponies, noting that Luna was on the dang thing, etc.

Then I realized I was at work.

NO ONE MUST KNOW *flee*

Rainbow Day / Bubble Gabble



I have no idea why she's on the poster.

from a comment in ED

She is a very common backgrounder that just nobody seemed to pay much attention too. Most prominent during the baked bads incident, and the one that told Dash about Ditzy Doo going the wrong way in Winter Wrap Up.

obviously we have ignored this poor pony, quick pony thread, give her a story!!!

does this count as a pony slip up? were you the one that bet on how long until you slip up and reveals pony? or is my brain just telling me lies?
Well! Are you brain! I'll make you talk!

You're gonna get some odd looks at work now.

[Orzel]

Odd looks or Brohooves.

Unfortunately my boss is not a brony.

Watching MLP:FiM right now.

Fluttershy tells the dragon at the end of Dragonshy to pack his things and find somewhere else to sleep. But then he just immediately takes off, carrying nothing. Does he just leave his horde behind? Even if he's intending to come back for it, why doesn't Rarity just duck in while he's out and grab some goodies?

Discuss.

Dragons obviously have a small extradimensional space inside their bodies, so that they can swallow up and carry their hordes around with them, that way they can easily pick up and move when they need to.

In other news, apparently, I am going to have to apparently roll 1d4 every day now to find out which avatar I'm going with for the day.

[Kyouhen]

So I just finished reading Bittersweet.
...So I just finished reading Bittersweet...
Why did I just read Bittersweet?

I still don't know if the guy in my office has noticed and just hasn't said anything, or I've been hiding my ponies better than I thought. Clearly I have to employ some half-baked, sitcom-worthy schemes and shenanigans to find out what he knows...

And, of course, those antics will fail, and instead reveal your bronydom to all of the office in the most embarrassing way possible, and it'll turn out that he didn't know anything about it in the first place!

Cue laugh track, roll credits, insert local news promo.

Tonight at eleven, a new group of sickos stalks the Internet, luring your children with the pastel colors of ponies! They are The Bronies! How can you protect your children against them? Stay tuned for Channel 5 News at 11, with Don Chilado.

random thought process. (Or how my mind likes to lead me to mental squick.)


hey, blueblood --> related to celestia distantly on her mother's side ---> what if there was a 3rd alicorn---> need a celestial body/diurnal name ----> midnight works---> Cousin Midnight?---> why would an alicorn bear only unicorn descendents?---> She gave up her immortality and alicorness for love---> so thousand years or more ago an alicorn became mortal for love, named Midnight----> What if Midnight I was also a descendent? ---> that means Trixie has royal blood!---> Wait! Midnight II is related to Blueblood ----> Double wait! Celestia had a relation ship with Midnight I -----> welll, distant cousin is not incest right? right? ---> oh my celestia why have you betrayed me brain!!!!!

False! All dragons are capable of teleport breath. When a dragon needs to move their horde they teleport it to the First Dragon Bank of Equestria. There it is kept safe until they teleport a letter requesting a withdrawal from the bank.

Unfortunately dragons never got out of their old habits of keeping their hordes with them at all times. The result is the bank charging massive service fees, leading to dragons keeping their hordes with them at all times, leading to yet larger service fees. Yeah, nobody quite thought that part out very well.

That thought process makes the joke I made in Moonlight about Blueblood trying to set up a marriage between his son and Midnight all the more frightening and squicky!

Luckily I don't have an office mate. Otherwise, I'd be a lot quieter, or have to get much more creative at hiding pony...

I just recalled my dream from last night. Ponies have officially invaded my dreams. I'm slightly ok with this. But also slightly terrified.

What did you dream, if you don't mind me asking? I am a curious little droid, as I have never dreamed of electric sheep ponies.

Just wondering: why exactly are these threads getting so big? There hasn't been any MLP:FIM for two months and there likely won't be for three months after that. But you guys have gone through 6 threads since Grand Galloping Gala. What is going on around here? Also wasn't this sort of thing what got you guys in trouble with 4chan (other than the fact that there are a lot of other problems with that forum).

Nothing to be afraid of. Just the next stage in full herd integration. It's all perfectly natural.

SOON YOU SHALL JOIN THE PARTY. SOON YOU SHALL BE COMPLEAT

Yep. Allllll perfectly natural.

We're big because we've basically made ourselves a self-sustaining community. We keep producing work to discuss, crazy ideas to speculate on, and general shenanigans to be had.

I think the whole 4chan deal was two parts:

1) It's 4chan. They pretty much hate everything.

2) The ponies were exploding all out of their designated threads.

We keep ponies (not so) safely contained in this thread (and our 11+ sister threads) and don't go throwing it in everypony's face. If you want ponies, you know where to find us. If you don't, then stay out of the pony thread. So it's not really the same thing as what happened on 4chan.

it's just friendship, sunshines and parties all up in here.

but seriously, it's not like we are spamming ponies in other (non-pony) threads. And we have moved on from discussion of show to discussion of characters and fan community works.

What the others have said. We've been sustaining ourselves on user-created stuff and general 'we're all friends here'. And the 4chan thing, from my understanding since I never actually go to the site, is that the ponies were spilling out everywhere, while here, we keep things largely self-contained in here.

And bondage.

...Wait, were we supposed to be convincing them that us being here was okay? Oops. Umm... I meant... hugs. Right, hugs. With ropes (no) love (yes!) in them. Freshly harvested love.

Why not? There is a LOT of fan work being created every day, and we find it a fun topic to discuss (read: bastardize). Besides, there's Role Play that goes on here, and general pony related derp. It's fun!

Also, what does 4Chan have to do with this? We're keeping it localized to a single thread, so I'm sure that the moderators won't / don't have an issue with us. This is what this board is for, anyways.

[Shadowy]

...Wait, were we supposed to be convincing them that us being here was okay? Oops. Umm... I meant... hugs. Right, hugs. With ropes (no) love (yes!) in them. Freshly harvested love.

Wait we're harvesting ropes now? How does that work? Can we just transform our love and hugs into pure matter now? HAVE WE BECOME UNTO GODS?

[Titanium Fox]

Yes. And apparently our love and hugs and friendship and tolerance and magic manifest as bondage equipment.

Daaaamn Ponythread. Just... Damn.

I just recalled my dream from last night. Ponies have officially invaded my dreams. I'm slightly ok with this. But also slightly terrified.

Now all I can think of is this.

Oh dear Celestia, the Diabetus are back.

[ScionoftheVoid]

Wait we're harvesting ropes now? How does that work? Can we just transform our love and hugs into pure matter now? HAVE WE BECOME UNTO GODS?

What? No, silly, we harvest love. From around vital organs. Speaking of which, Esper's love should be ripe again, now. And we haven't harvested his love in so long. It would be a shame to let it go bad. It might become Silly, and we're already at dangerous levels of that (the thread is a mandatory cowboy-hat zone, even).

The Comic Con poster is great, I'd love to have one if I actually had a place to put it that was safe from prying eyes.

You know, the first thing I noticed when I saw the poster was Lyra and Bon Bon standing together and smiling at each other. Pony shipping has hijacked my brain.

Right there with you. I noticed Derpy with derped eyes and smiled at the fanon-turned-canon, then my gaze drifted to Lyra and Bon Bon smiling and I wondered, oh how I wondered, just how much the artist(s) might like those smiles to imply...

Challenge/Help request for any who play D&D 3.5:

Tonight, my party might make it to the end of a dungeon where they'll face, who else, Nightmare Moon. I'm modifying the stats for a Unicorn (granting flight, higher armor, more spell-likes, etc.) to make it more powerful, and that's where I need help. What spells or spell-like abilities do you think would be appropriate to give her?

The party consists of a Rogue, a Barbarian, a Cleric, and a Ranger, all level 7, all unoptimized (but I've been helping them pick decent feats and such), and all within the core rules. Doesn't mean the spells she has have to be within core, but that's what they have to work with.

You could always slap a lich template on her for crunch, but not apply the fluff.

I'd also give her Deathwatch as a permanent effect. Makes her that much more menacing because she knows who in the party is the weakest.

I'm not the best with spells, so I'll leave that to somepony else.
