    I don't thinks so. If there are, I don't think they'll mention them in the show. If there was a race of them, I doubt they would be anywhere as powerful Discord is. (I'm assuming Discord isn't an illusionist and is just straight up near omni-potent.)

    I'm thinking he could be his kind's equivalent to Celestia/Luna, so the other draconequi are like ordinary ponies/unicorns/pegasi

    Theoretically, but then again, we have Gorgons despite there only ever being three in existence. I think that creatures like the Hydra were unique in myth as well.

    Dragonokis (spelling by Hub website, although that means little) seem to basically be pony-chimeras, which could be either a generic term that Discord happens to fit under, or it could be an entire race of pre-Equestrian creatures that Discord was the "ruler" of.
    I put the term in quotes because it is unlikely he ever ruled a stable government of any size, and likely just lorded his abilities over anything happening to be living in his domain.

    Esperderek, click my username, go to "find all posts by this user", and go through my last 20 posts. The majority are quotenukes, Which should give you a good idea of where we sit.

    Day off. Braz's day off. Have Gears of War 3. I spent the last 3 hours gleefully charging at enemy turrets/spiderbeasts/kamikaze bombers/snoozes/sappers/civilians/outposts/mailing lists/political beliefs with a bayonet, and winning.

    They've got a gun that works like the standard, old-school ak-47; high kick, good RPS, high damage, accurate to 100 yards. And it has a knife on the end. It's like everything I've ever wanted from war!

    Point being, kinda slow today. With luck, tomorrow's D&D game should hit just the right level o boring, but not walk-out bad, that I can pony thread all day :3

    It is entirely possible the website designers just threw together a spelling and didn't reference anything. Consider it one of the good points of department disconnect - the name can be easily retconned by someone more knowledgable.

    the first 3 because they have the songs which are horribly insidiously infectious and the last for pure awesome


    ok...now its time for me to call upon the resources of this mighty thread....
    i need a good sceenshot (or episode # + timestamp) that shows both eyes of Fluttershy in normal mode
    not sad, angry, crying...just normal/happy

    i need this so i can make a tracing and use a copier to up/downsize them and get the correct size for my Fluttershy crochet doll being made...the original person used eyes i find too big

    also need the same for Trixie... and since there is obviously much less footage of her.. fanart that is close to show style would work

    About this whole chart thing, I can't seem to follow my transformation or even place myself on it at all:

    I've never been at stage 1 ever.
    I had seen a few clips from the show from KnowYourMeme.com, but I never actually put the time into watching the show until months later.
    I went into the show expecting to like it, but not expecting to become addicted to it.
    After realising I had watched ten episodes, I figured out I was probably a brony.
    I don't give a damn about the merchandise. I may if I had more money and if Hasbro had any idea what they are doing. (Shiny Applejack! Pinkie with unPinkie hair! Pink Celestia with butterfly wings!)
    I love good fanfiction, although I lack the talent to actually write one.

    All these things and more have convinced me that the Stages of brony infection/ponysanity should be abolished and replaced with a point system.
    Also, A new strip is up if you didn't realise.

    Well, Equus is the genus to which horses belong, so dracon-equus would also be dragon-horse. Also it sounds to me like she says "dracon" not "dragon"

    No no no!

    Commander Hopereaver is currently a magical girl!

    I am exactly what I always have been, a ludicrously powerful and awesome Lich! With a rocket launcher!

    (And, for the record, I am male, which I should probably state, since it's not always very evident on skeletons, especially given my light build. Heck, until she piped up, we all thought Hopereaver was a guy, and she's been serving as my aide for years!)

    That's 'cos you have the perceptual ability of a-

    *eyeglow raise*

    -really awesome thing!

    Also, my offical title in the Aotrs is actually Commadore Bleakbane (I got promoted after I started using this user name), which is why you sometimes see somepony addressing me as such.



    Though, no, the worst of it is Lix's unseemly...well, let's call it what it is, stalker obessesion with me for reasons that I cannot comprehend (for which I should probably be relieved...)

    And you just asked the Element of Pirates, the physical embodiment of the combination of unchecked chaotic-ness, devilishly clever thinking, and rum, if he had a sense of self-preservation.

    You know, considering a recent magical girl show, being a lich with a rocket launcher doesn't preclude you from being a Magical Girl. Well, okay, if you only have one it might....

    In apology, have a writing excerpt.

    Spoiler
    Show
    “TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!!”

    Twilight groaned, and covered her head with her pillow. Trixie had only gotten up a couple of minutes ago, damn it! It was her turn anyways! One thing that the books had never warned her about was how often a parent would need to get up to tend to a newborne foal. Perhaps they didn’t mention it because the authors were afraid that nopony would ever become a parent knowing that. Sleep was becoming a luxury, and other, more enjoyable, nocturnal activites were rapidly becoming the dream of a previous life.

    If she didn’t know better, she would have believed that Luna had done something to their daughter to ensure that Midnight would be a night pony. Perhaps they shouldn’t have named her after a time of night, too...

    That brought them to tonight. MIdnight had been especially fussy, and both of them had been forced to be up with her multiple times already. Finally, finally, it seemed like she had settled down for a couple of hours, only for the peace of the house to be broken by weak crying. But it was Trixie’s turn this time, and she wasn’t going to get up! She was probably only messing up the diaper again anyways. Twilight couldn’t figure out how somepony who was so good with knots, was so terrible with tying up a diaper.

    Of course, Twilight had to admit she was jealous on how easily Trixie was able to get Midnight to eat. She supposed that she had a edge in that department anyways.

    No, she would just roll over, and pretend to be asl-

    “TWILIGHT, SHE’S SICK!”

    It was amazing how quickly she could move. She was halfway to the nursery before she knew it. She threw open the door, any trace of sleepiness gone. She nearly tripped over Spike, who, of course, was still asleep. It was truly amazing how deep that dragon could sleep.

    For a moment, she thought it was Trixie who was the one who was sick. Trixie was paler than Twilight had ever seen her, save for the day of the reunion. The only thing breaking up that pallid look were her red-rimmed eyes. She looked frantically at Twilight, clutching the tiny bundle tightly against her protectively.

    “S-she’s b-burning up...” Trixie choaked. Twilight swallowed down her own rising panic, and gently pushed in to check on her daughter. The fact that she wasn’t crying worried her...

    She was shivering gently, and Midnight’s normally bright and vivid eyes were dulled with pain. Trembling, Twilight checked beneath her pelt, seeing that her skin was bright red, and her tiny horn was glowing, the occasional spark shooting forth from it. Midnight was letting out small little whimpers, her breathing was shallow, but stubborn. Twilight pressed a hoof gently against her forehead, and nearly recoiled. Trixie was right, Midnight was burning up, and it was a higher fever than she had been anticipating.

    Those eyes looked up at her, already believing, knowing with all of her tiny heart, that her parents would be able to help her. To make the pain go away.

    “W-What’s wrong with her? What do we do?” Trixie immediatly deferred to Twilight. This was not the time for pride, earned or not. Of the two of them, Twilight was most likely to know what to do, know how to help their weeks-old child...

    “I...I...” Where was all the knowledge that she had prided herself in? Trixie and her daughter, they needed her, they were looking up at her, secure in the fact that she would think of something. Twilight Sparkle, most knowledagble pony in all of Equestria.

    Nothing was coming to mind.

    “I...don’t know...”

    She never felt so helpless.
    Oh wow that was very nice. Kurgan linked me to your stuff on ED and I am just finishing up with it its all very good thank you.

    Well, okay, I don't have the energy to do a multiquote and fix all of the quotes and whatnot, so I'm cheating a little. And by a little, I mean, I'm putting in titles instead. So there.

    On Midnight and Fire:

    I-I don't think that I could get to like fire...I'm not a violent pony! I mean, I like messing with ponies, shipping them, that sort of general naughtiness, but visiting actual harm and fire to them? I couldn't do that. Even when defending myself or those that I love, I tend to resort to things like restraining or forcing retreat. I don't like fire. I like snuggles.

    Of course, that's why she has me around. Remember that last guy who kept trying to blow us up? Notice how he hasn't said anything since I showed up? You wonder why that is?

    On the thread and supervilliany:

    Hey, I'm not a super-villian. Most of the time. Most of the tim-HEY! Hey, I wasn't even awake for the Midnight Mare thing, remember? O-oh yeah...

    Mask wanting to be feared:

    Oh, dear, I nearly forgot~! I packed you a lunch, and I made sure to give you your favorite applejuice in your thermos!

    On Midnight's Church Robes:

    It's okay about the mixup, Siuis! Thanks to you, I've actually spread out, worshippers can either wear the robes, or the harem outfits! It works amazingly well, and everypony looks so good in them... I think your nose is bleeding. It is not!

    On Thistle Being Upset:

    *Thistle feels hooves wrapping around her from behind, and a comforting nuzzle against her cheeks.

    "It's okay...some ponies still think that my Momma will take over the world again, or is obsessed with revenge against everypony. It's not a very fun place to be in, I know."

    Midnight smiles tenderly at the hippogriff.

    "If you need to talk about it, you can always come to me, you know."


    On Everypony's Support:

    I know I said this already, but I wanted to thank everypony. You all have already improved my mood, and you've been so supportive. I love you guys (in a friendship sort of way.)

    Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.

    And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

    That's more not liking to use fire on someone, but fire is great even for less harmful, but still potentially destructive purposes!

    In all seriousness, thank you so much everypony for putting up with my miniature little mental breakdown there. I've gotten good at managing my paranoia over the past 20 years, but every once in a while it gets the better of me.

    Also. Return hugs are required.

    Most of us generally have the good graces to keep ours away from Earth, so you usually don't notice. But out there, among the stars, are trillions of star-warships, doing battle with every kind of weapon imaginable.

    Hey, ponythread, can you get this to run?

    http://distoorted.livejournal.com/9356.html

    I can't seem to load the game. Damnit, I wanted to play with Rainbow Dash in a guitar.

    EDIT: To clarify, I get a white screen and a 'Movie Not Loaded' with Adobe Flash Player. I have the latest version. I tried both Chrome and IE. Both failed to load.

    Now I'm thinking my university connection is blocking the site.

    Speaking of which, I have a question. How hard do you like your sci-fi universes?

    Remember how we were wondering what it would be like if we were Discorded? Well, I think I have that right now. My Element of Pony feels like it has been discorded.

    Thankfully, I don't have to go back in tomorrow after all, so I have two days off. Maybe. If things don't change again.

    In apology, have a writing excerpt.

    “TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!!”

    Twilight groaned, and covered her head with her pillow. Trixie had only gotten up a couple of minutes ago, damn it! It was her turn anyways! One thing that the books had never warned her about was how often a parent would need to get up to tend to a newborne foal. Perhaps they didn’t mention it because the authors were afraid that nopony would ever become a parent knowing that. Sleep was becoming a luxury, and other, more enjoyable, nocturnal activites were rapidly becoming the dream of a previous life.

    If she didn’t know better, she would have believed that Luna had done something to their daughter to ensure that Midnight would be a night pony. Perhaps they shouldn’t have named her after a time of night, too...

    That brought them to tonight. MIdnight had been especially fussy, and both of them had been forced to be up with her multiple times already. Finally, finally, it seemed like she had settled down for a couple of hours, only for the peace of the house to be broken by weak crying. But it was Trixie’s turn this time, and she wasn’t going to get up! She was probably only messing up the diaper again anyways. Twilight couldn’t figure out how somepony who was so good with knots, was so terrible with tying up a diaper.

    Of course, Twilight had to admit she was jealous on how easily Trixie was able to get Midnight to eat. She supposed that she had a edge in that department anyways.

    No, she would just roll over, and pretend to be asl-

    “TWILIGHT, SHE’S SICK!”

    It was amazing how quickly she could move. She was halfway to the nursery before she knew it. She threw open the door, any trace of sleepiness gone. She nearly tripped over Spike, who, of course, was still asleep. It was truly amazing how deep that dragon could sleep.

    For a moment, she thought it was Trixie who was the one who was sick. Trixie was paler than Twilight had ever seen her, save for the day of the reunion. The only thing breaking up that pallid look were her red-rimmed eyes. She looked frantically at Twilight, clutching the tiny bundle tightly against her protectively.

    “S-she’s b-burning up...” Trixie choaked. Twilight swallowed down her own rising panic, and gently pushed in to check on her daughter. The fact that she wasn’t crying worried her...

    She was shivering gently, and Midnight’s normally bright and vivid eyes were dulled with pain. Trembling, Twilight checked beneath her pelt, seeing that her skin was bright red, and her tiny horn was glowing, the occasional spark shooting forth from it. Midnight was letting out small little whimpers, her breathing was shallow, but stubborn. Twilight pressed a hoof gently against her forehead, and nearly recoiled. Trixie was right, Midnight was burning up, and it was a higher fever than she had been anticipating.

    Those eyes looked up at her, already believing, knowing with all of her tiny heart, that her parents would be able to help her. To make the pain go away.

    “W-What’s wrong with her? What do we do?” Trixie immediatly deferred to Twilight. This was not the time for pride, earned or not. Of the two of them, Twilight was most likely to know what to do, know how to help their weeks-old child...

    “I...I...” Where was all the knowledge that she had prided herself in? Trixie and her daughter, they needed her, they were looking up at her, secure in the fact that she would think of something. Twilight Sparkle, most knowledagble pony in all of Equestria.

    Nothing was coming to mind.

    “I...don’t know...”

    She never felt so helpless.
    That's... pretty spectacular. Is this your first draft? I wish I could do something like that. On a technical note, I still think 'pelt' is akward when you use it on horses. Minor nitpick, though. Would read.

    I guess it's a bit late, but hope you get well soon.

    It works just fine for me. I think that it's either your university blocking it of just not allowing Flash Player to load on that computer.

    Pony Effect, though my work on this slowed down tremendously due to ongoing corrections and RL. (and pony RP.)
