You are awesome. Thank you so much. I feel like this entire post should go in the OP in place of the imgur links.

I'm horrible at accepting compliments. Let's just say that this put a huge grin on my face, and leave it at that.

Also, you ninja'd my edit. Are there any emotes that need to be added? That list is two weeks old, after all.

[Athaniar]

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I dont see anywhere else that would be more fitting. So here we go.

We have a guy at work who tried to leave work early (we're military) to go home and watch My Little Pony. And hes getting ridiculed endlessly for it. Now, i dont know what the big deal with this show is. I have a 6 year old daughter and shes grown out of her Pony watching days so I havent seen any of the new series.

What about this new show is so endearing to adult males? Im curious and am by no means talking down about it. We all love what we love and that works for us. All part of being a geek, i just want to know what the big deal is.

I really appreciate anybody who is able to shed some light on this for me. Thank you.

I can only speak for myself, but I find there is a lot to like about it (and I certainly didn't expect to like it at first). The animation is good (unlike what little I have seen in screenshots of earlier generations), the stories are good and not at all "childish", the jokes are often genuinely funny. Also, there are no humans. It certainly isn't for everybody, though, but if you can look past traditional "macho" stereotyping you might find it as good as I did. To quote myself, "Why should happiness, friendship, and fun only be for children?"
I quoted myself. I feel dirty.

Well, for one thing, it's very well written and very well drawn. Did you ever watch the Powerpuff Girls, or Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends? Well, it's the same woman who did those doing Friendship is Magic.

The characters are well-written and compelling, from Twilight's bookishness to Pinkie Pie's 4th-wall-breaking silliness, and despite a certain simplicity which comes with being a children's show, it lacks the condescending nature common to modern children's programming. In addition, plenty of references and jokes are made which benefit older viewers.

If you want an analytical take on it, I'd suggest visiting the tvtropes page for it (no link because I'm CN, not CE). If you truly want to understand, I'd suggest watching the show itself. The people in this thread have more or less agreed that Winter Wrap-up is the best episode to start with, and if you like that, you should watch the series in order. It's all up on youtube, so no worries.

As to whether this is the right thread for the query, yes it is. The MODS have more or less banished all pony-related stuff to this small corner of the playground for fear of facilitating the spread of the infection.

Oh, and if you decide you like it, you should come back here sometime. ^^ Good luck, and I hope that coworker of yours doesn't get ridiculed anymore.

Well, for one thing, it's very well written and very well drawn. Did you ever watch the Powerpuff Girls, or Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends? Well, it's the same woman who did those doing Friendship is Magic.

Not exactly. Lauren Faust did some work on those shows, but wasn't the creator of either; that was Craig McCracken.

Rarity's Night

Spoiler

Show

The moments ticked by ever so slowly, the pair resting upon each other, doing absolutely nothing but reveling in the others warmth, just taking in the evening in its entirety. Rarity wished nothing more than for this to never end. They stood, just holding each other for what seemed as though a blissful eternity, saying nothing, feelings spoken in the beating of hearts, in gentle caresses and soft sighs.

It was Rarity who first broke the silence. It nearly hurt as she pulled herself from her Prince, whether the spirit was willing, the flesh was weak. No matter what Midnight said, Rarity was still getting on in years. She was by no stretch an old mare like she said, but she still didn't have the stamina she used to when she spent what seemed like every other day out on a new adventure.

She gazed up into his eyes as they carefully let each other down, and carefully walked beside him, gently nuzzling. She leaned back, lowering herself slowly and carefully onto her flank, brushing the tail of her dress out of the way with a practiced flick of her hoof. As she settled, she gently patted the grass beside her, knowing full well that her Prince would join her.

The mare knew that they would spend the rest of the evening together here in this beautiful place. And as much as she did not want to see the morning come, she knew that it was inevitable. The emotions of two ponies could not stand in the way of such Celestial power. But she did not fear the morning light; she wished to embrace it. And she wished to embrace it in the only way that was fitting. She had placed herself oh so carefully facing towards the East so that when the first golden rays pierced the darkness of Luna's night, they would be there to see it's beauty; a fitting end to such a beautiful night.

The stars of the Dreamblooms flitted about like fireflies; free of their own mind, yet seemingly drawn to the beating hearts which had brought them to life.

As he sat beside her, she lowered her head to rest it near his, feeling his body pressing against his, his purple coat sending a nearly electric tingle down her spine, his warmth causing her to sigh out happily, burying her muzzle into his neck, her eyes closing. She wanted so desperately to lay beside him, to fall asleep in his hooves, but she knew that was neither ladylike nor even feasible. For if they fell asleep together, upon the morning light they would be found. And tonight was a night just for them.

---

Sweetie Bell felt the little dragon slump against her, and she couldn't help but let a little smile. He was such an adorable little thing when he wasn't going overboard fawning on her sister. Rather than awaken him, she used her magic to levitate over a small piece of royal purple cloth for him, gently draping it over him.

"It's fine with me Spike. Get some rest." She took in a deep breath, leaning down beside the dragon's ear as he slowly began to nod off. "I'll wake you when they get here." she whispered into his ear, smiling to herself as she looked down upon him.

The little guy meant so well, and everything about his crush was completely innocent. Some who didn't know him better could write it off as childhood manifestation of his instincts, that he saw Rarity as a true gem, something that he would grow to covet as he grew older. But somehow Sweetie knew this wasn't the case. Sitting here with him slumped beside her, sleeping so peacefully with the light and magic of the flowers floating about them, it was almost as if she could see the true color of his emotion.

She nuzzled the little dragon beside her, closing her own eyes as she found herself overcome by a tired that hadn't been there a minute before. She silently let out a yawn, resting her head against the soft cushion behind the two, careful as to not wake her unexpected but welcome visitor.

"Goodnight... Spike."

Rarity's Night

Spoiler

Show

Midnight shifted as Rarity began to pull away from him, reluctantly pulling away from his Lady for a moment. As he watched Rarity settle herself down on the grass, struggling with the weariness of maturity, he felt a slight pang of regret.

He briefly wished that he had been borne in a different time, a different place. He entertained a fantasy as he settled in the grass next to his Lady, of being there on that first disastrous Gala. He would have swept Rarity away before she had encountered Blueblood, and shown her the perfect night, and then...

But no. It was impossible. For if he had been borne in a different time, a different place, then he would not be Midnight. She would not be the child of three mothers, the niece of five mares by choice, not blood. She would not have grown up in Ponyville, nor had the experiences that had shaped her to be the mare that she was. It was more than that, though. She was proud of who she was, where she came from.

This was the great irony, for the same thing that had allowed Rarity to have her Prince for one night, denied it from being any more than that.

He felt her bury her muzzle up against his neck, their bodies entwining once again. This time, however, she was aware of the weariness that was plucking at her, could feels her breaths growing more and more shallow. He knew that she desired sleep, but was keeping awake not just to see the light of the morning sun, but because she feared discovery when morning came.

But the ending of the dream was important, perhaps the most important thing. If the end of Rarity's dream night was seeing this world of theirs dissolve away, the Dreamblooms withering under the light of the sun, leaving her in the dirty, exposed park...if she realized that it was no longer Prince Midnight who was snuggled against her, but her young niece...if they were forced to walk together away from their night, not knowing what to do or say...

The memory of the dream would be marred. She would forever associate that night with the morning after.

And so, as the light of the sun began to breach the horizon, as the golden rays of his Grandmother's sun began to shine through the trees, and dance on their faces, Prince Midnight tilted his head down, and whispered sweet nothings into his Lady's ear. His horn began to glow, as he weaved a simple spell, the last one that he would cast this night. His horn touched hers, and he sent the spell coursing through her, carrying Rarity off into sleep, so gently that she could not have noticed.

"Sleep well, my Lady..." He whispered, Prince Midnight's last words to Lady Rarity, as their world dissolved around them.

---

A half an hour later, Midnight was at the doors to the Botique. She felt Rarity's weight against her back, as she had carried her peacefully slumbering Aunt all the way from the park to here, with the help of her magic, of course. It was still early in the morning, and the route she had carefully taken had ensured that no one would have seen the young mare, still dressed in that nobleman's outfit, struggling with the sleeping older mare, to keep her lovely dress from being ruined or stepped on.

Midnight let out a soft groan, feeling exhaustion threaten to send her to the ground. This was the last thing that she needed to do. She would place Aunt Rarity in her bed, and she would awake from the dream as was proper. Not on the cold, dewy ground of the Park, the magic that had affected it banished by the light of the Celestia's sun. Then, Midnight herself would collapse in her own bed, and sleep until the next morning came.

She could only hope that it would be enough to dispel the feelings that were still pulsing through her, what the night had left deep in her heart.

She had been successful. Almost nopony knew, and those that did were sworn to silence, through promises and magic. She had done it, she had fulfilled her Lad...her Aunt's dream.

Midnight smiled, as she opened the door to the Botique, not knowing who lay within...

I figure a final denouement with Midnight and Sweetie Belle would be a perfect way to wrap this up.

And then there were cuddlepiles

Spoiler

Show

Amish gives Midnight a brief nod of thanks before turning his attentions to the cooler. A quick inspection of the bottles' sugar content is all he needs. He grabs out a few bottles, expertly pops the lids off with his teeth, and starts chugging. One bottle. Two bottles. Three bottles...finally, he slams the fourth down as he takes a moment to catch his breath. His bandanna twitches, shakes, and finally leaps high into the air with loud pop, like a cork from a winebottle. His mane, once short and scruffy, has inflated and curled to cotton-candy proportions. He takes one last, deep breath, before raising his head.

"Let's Party!"

And then he is gone, a gust of wind left in his wake.

For a moment, nothing happens. Then, the pillows appear. Pillows of all shapes and sizes. From a soft bed built for the tiniest cat to monstrous cushions from an unbelievably large couch. Dark blue blurs carry and move them into place, although that may be doing the sight an injustice. Rather, the pillows seem to move of their own accord while streaks of blue duck and weave around them. All around the ponies, walls of pillows form and grow. They stretch higher and higher until they reach above even Stacy, before they stop and sprout a roof. One of the walls shifts and bends, forming a massive gate taking up the entire surface. Heaps of pillows burst from the walls, only to return and reform as shutters for the newly-made windows. Several ponies yelp in surprise as they are quickly lifted, then dropped onto a newly-made carpet of pillows.

When the dust settles, they are sitting cuddling in a pillowfort unlike the world has ever known. A gate large enough for even Stacy to come and go, windows for sunlight, a retractable roof for more sunlight, and a soft, comfy floor of pillows. And naturally, a network of hatches over the whole lot.

As for Amish, the pony is sprawled on the floor in front of Midnight, hooves smoking. His mane deflates and shrinks to its usual size, just in time for his bandanna to lazily drift down onto his head. He grins, and simply lets out a big, satisfied,

"Yarrrr!"

Flashpoint seems in genuine wonderment at the sight before him. To the newly steaming stallion he says, "Do you work in construction? You should. This thing looks tougher than some of my country's military bases."

He hits another button on his belt, and flickers for a moment before disappearing with a flash, and comes back into existence on the shoulder of the massive pony. "Sorry about all that charging and talking about dismemberment and such, I hadn't realized you were a friend of the lovely dame. Can we be chill broskis now?"

He turns to Midnight. "You, babe, have a wonderful voice, did I ever mention that? I really do admire a gal who can take command of a situation. But don't you be thinkin' you can order me around," He winks at her. "This pony is downright uncontrollable."

[Eakin]

Amish, I'm always flattered to be sigged, absolutely

Goose, I will first say that anyone who tries to leave work early for any tv show deserves ridicule, ponies or otherwise.

As for why adults find the show to be worthwhile, it's a genuinely well made well written clever TV show. Once you get past the cognitive dissonance of "this is supposed to be for little girls" you'll find that it's actually got fully realized multidimensional characters, jokes that are funny to adults without being "adult", and an authentic sense of wonder and joy that isn't sickly diabetes inducing overkill.

If you've ever watched and enjoyed a pixar film as an adult, it's the same way those films are excellent even if you're out of the kid demographic

[Vent Reynolt]

Hmm, I might be interested ... It provides an opportunity to give Quaver Rest a chance to stretch her legs in the world of RP.

I wonder if Blueblood ever learned how to play a musical instrument?

I would imagine that Blueblood has learned to play at least one musical instrument as part of Royal education. Perhaps the piano?

Even though I'm not familiar with the earlier storyline it still sounds rather interesting. Who is his son, though?

It's Bluebl-

Blueblood II.

What he said. Blueblood II is from Esper's Guide to dating fic. He is traditionally portrayed by Inkwell, and has a huge ham factor. He's also completely infatuated with Midnight (who isn't).

[Deadly]

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I dont see anywhere else that would be more fitting. So here we go.

We have a guy at work who tried to leave work early (we're military) to go home and watch My Little Pony. And hes getting ridiculed endlessly for it. Now, i dont know what the big deal with this show is. I have a 6 year old daughter and shes grown out of her Pony watching days so I havent seen any of the new series.

What about this new show is so endearing to adult males? Im curious and am by no means talking down about it. We all love what we love and that works for us. All part of being a geek, i just want to know what the big deal is.

I really appreciate anybody who is able to shed some light on this for me. Thank you.

Other's have mentioned some good things about the show itself, but I think it needs to be mentioned that a HUGE part of it has to do with the community that has sprung up around it. I wouldn't be here, obsessing over ponies, if it was only me watching a cartoon. Sure it's a great cartoon, but without the brony community I would, at most, watch the episodes occasionally and not think much more of it. I certainly wouldn't worry about catching new episodes live when they air, for example, I'd just watch them whenever. And I most certainly would not spend virtually all my time reading and writing fan fics or making pony art, or any of that.

The community is great! That's all I wanted to say

This. So much this! We come here because we like the show, we stay because the fandom is so fantastically awesome.

[Grif]

Random thought of the day.

I actually preferred the old opening intro to the new, revised one. For one thing, the theme song seemed to have got cluttered by unnecessary instruments in the new rendition. The old just sounds cleaner, more in the spirit of the show I feel.

The train looks a little out of place as well, since in the two episodes we seen so far, it has not been shown yet. However, I'll admit they're probably using it to showcase the minor characters of the show, aka the CMC and possibly some others.

"Sleep well, my Lady..." He whispered, Prince Midnight's last words to Lady Rarity, as their world dissolved around them.

---

A half an hour later, Midnight was at the doors to the Botique. She felt Rarity's weight against her back, as she had carried her peacefully slumbering Aunt all the way from the park to here, with the help of her magic, of course. It was still early in the morning, and the route she had carefully taken had ensured that no one would have seen the young mare, still dressed in that nobleman's outfit, struggling with the sleeping older mare, to keep her lovely dress from being ruined or stepped on.

Midnight let out a soft groan, feeling exhaustion threaten to send her to the ground. This was the last thing that she needed to do. She would place Aunt Rarity in her bed, and she would awake from the dream as was proper. Not on the cold, dewy ground of the Park, the magic that had affected it banished by the light of the Celestia's sun. Then, Midnight herself would collapse in her own bed, and sleep until the next morning came.

She could only hope that it would be enough to dispel the feelings that were still pulsing through her, what the night had left deep in her heart.

She had been successful. Almost nopony knew, and those that did were sworn to silence, through promises and magic. She had done it, she had fulfilled her Lad...her Aunt's dream.

Midnight smiled, as she opened the door to the Botique, not knowing who lay within...

I figure a final denouement with Midnight and Sweetie Belle would be a perfect way to wrap this up.

Definitely, sounds good to me. I'll get a post up after I get back from lunch.

As for the post after yours, I will first say that anyone who tries to leave work early for any tv show deserves ridicule, ponies or otherwise.

This. Your job is your job, and you do your job. Yes, I'm on the job talking about ponies, but I'm doing so during downtime, not shirking responsibility to do so.

Other's have mentioned some good things about the show itself, but I think it needs to be mentioned that a HUGE part of it has to do with the community that has sprung up around it. I wouldn't be here, obsessing over ponies, if it was only me watching a cartoon. Sure it's a great cartoon, but without the brony community I would, at most, watch the episodes occasionally and not think much more of it. I certainly wouldn't worry about catching new episodes live when they air, for example, I'd just watch them whenever. And I most certainly would not spend virtually all my time reading and writing fan fics or making pony art, or any of that.

The community is great! That's all I wanted to say

So much this. The show is was got me into the community, but how awesome the community is is what locked me in.

Ow. I think I hurt myself. Darn ponies taking the computer away from me. I call foul on the DM. she says, laying down face first in the ground.

As to whether this is the right thread for the query, yes it is. The MODS have more or less banished all pony-related stuff to this small corner of the playground for fear of facilitating the spread of the infection.

...we have?

As far as I know, there's been no decision-making to that end about ponies... Avatar is Magic is still running in A&C and Bridle Shores is still running in FFRP, right?

You might be referring to the "one topic, one thread' rule, but that's not pony specific. If someone started a "Hey, what episode of TNG should I start with? I heard the first season kinda sucks" thread while there was a general Star Trek discussion thread, they'd probably be merged as well.

Aww, thanks! ^^ *hugs*

Random thought of the day.

I actually preferred the old opening intro to the new, revised one. For one thing, the theme song seemed to have got cluttered by unnecessary instruments in the new rendition. The old just sounds cleaner, more in the spirit of the show I feel.

The train looks a little out of place as well, since in the two episodes we seen so far, it has not been shown yet. However, I'll admit they're probably using it to showcase the minor characters of the show, aka the CMC and possibly some others.

I figure they probably only added the train because Hasbro plans to make it a toy. I can't imagine any good reason for adding it otherwise, it was controversial enough with the train in Over a Barrel, apparently.

EDIT: Know who made them? I'd like to give credit, if I can.

You made them! :D

So. Birthday so far. Been basically as ropey as I'd expected, all in all.

The carpet was due at 3 o'clock (and came about twenty to four), meaning that Mum couldn't run me into my appointment, so I had to drive. Everything on telly this morning was a repeat of a repeat of a repeat, and with half the dining room furniture in there, I couldn't even spend the time - as I have in the past, watching telly. (Well, to be fair, Mum would have let me watch some DVDs or something, but then she'd not have had anywhere to sit, and she's very tired again today (she suffers from chronic fatigue/FM), so I'd have felt a bit guilty.) I couldn't settle to anything in my bedroom (didn't very restfully meditate last night, either), with whittling a bit about my appointment, especially knowing I'd have to drive in (and I hate driving). So, when I drove in, I managed to stall on a hill about three times (I hate that clutch) and missed the carpark I was aiming for (since it was the first time I'd driven into town); paid for the parking only to discover that the meter had "no change given" in extremely small letter (so paid £4 parking).

The only marginal plus at that point, was the person I had to see saw me early, and actually came across as something resembling a human (almost an affacble human), as opposed to a Little Hitler like the previous one. (Also, apparently, he was going to be the new guy to see from now on, since the last woman "wasn't going to be in for a while". Uh-huh. I wonder why that might be...) This meant I at least got back before the rush-hour traffic hit, and at least the carpet had arrived once I'd got back and was fitted.

So, I have literally just re-set up the PC, so I haven't had time to check on the ten-odd pages of pony yet (that'll come later!) Another hour or so, and my sister will be back from work, and we can do my presents¹ in about the fifteen minutes before it's time for me to go out to roleplaying.

Rather a good job, one feels, we elected to hold my birthday tea with the extended family on Wednesday...

I dread to think how badly the monster are going to do tonight, especially as the PCs are all really sore about the struggle the ten CR 8 Illithids gave their six level 14 arses last week....!



¹Assuming I have any, of course; we have always been raised not to expect presents, so as not be properly grateful for those we do get (i.e. not get a sense of entitlement about it.) However, this is statistically unlikely, as we've never not had any, but with the day I've had...!

[Brazen Shield]

Topaz' head goes back and forth at the exchange, her mouth opening and closing several times until it finishes, then looks at Raindrop. So, it's OK then? She looks back at Autumn. No, I'm no weather pony, though I have learned the cloud walk spell, but that's easy enough that almost any unicorn can do it. What I do is make magic platforms that can fly and I can ride. It's useful for transport and such. That's pretty much what I do; I'm kind of a one trick pony. *blushes* I though weather control was really interesting too. She looks up as the waiter comes back with their tea and to take their food orders. I'll have the seaweed salad and the garlic-ginger tempura, please, and the mint green tea ice cream for dessert.

... Y'know, not much on the internet surprises me any more. So, given the appeal of MLP:FiM, I'm not that much surprised by this. Like many people, I grew up on Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies, and Tom & Jerry cartoons, and given the nature of some the episodes (especially S2E3), I can see MLP:FiM becoming this generation's classic cartoon.

I've been an animation junkie pretty much my entire life. My mom assures me that at eighteen months I knew when Mickey Mouse came on and would be bouncing in front of the TV in anticipation.

...How'd you do that? I can't export pictures from that thing and get actual pictures.

The picture export in Pony Creator works fine for me. Are you using the final version, or the beta?

For those who've been following the roleplay with him at all, which looks better/more fitting between my current incarnation of Inkblot up at top left of this post, or this one?

I'm indecisive.

I like the current version with the upstanding mane a little better than the laid-back version.

Huh, we're at page nineteen already?

Pity I don't feel well enough to keep up at all :(

Visibly nervous, despite the steadiness, Starry begins to focus, her eyes closing to a half-lidded, sleepy expression. Her hat sways slightly, rhythmically, as her vision shifts...

As ever, the dancing green motes of pranksterish light swirl out of her direct way, showing a tunnel and whispering this way, this way is out! empathically, just beyond a normal pony's senses. But something is different, this time.

There! Starry thinks, The swirly purple... Like a cone, or an arrow. Only in that direction...

We're gonna want to go that way, about 22 degrees to the right, roughly speaking. She looks to be about a mile or so away, at a guess. She points in the indicated direction, about 1 o'clock, before wobbling a bit and planting her hoof firmly back on the platform.

Topaz grins. Aye, Captain. One sixteenth to starboard and steady as she goes. The bubble lifts off gently, rises just above the trees, swings around in the direction Starry indicated and begins to accelerate.

Oh okai Starry purrs, eyes a weird combination of DERP and swirlies. fank yoo veddy mudge, yu haff a lervly wyfe...

She shakes her head vigorously, which clears her eyes but turns her face a sickly green. Clamping her hooves to her mouth until the color subsides, Starry scrunches her eyes shut. Lowering her hooves, she breathes, That was not fun. You know what's not fun? Spinning. And I was spinning, and it was not fun. She wobbles a bit, obviously dizzy. Stars Above. So much spinning.

Topaz finishes clearing her head and looks around. Is there a control for the door? I don't want to just leave it hanging open like this.
