Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Now, now, you two. It was an honest mistake. Oooh, I know! The Sisterhood Social is coming up soon! Why don't you two compete?

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
I kinda do as well but I find myself actually reading more of the posts now than I used to. I used to just skim without paying much attention in order to keep up, now I can actually weigh in on a discussion from time to time. That's just me though, I know plenty of ponies were able to keep up just fine and I kind of do miss the blazing ridiculous speeds this thread used to get up to. I think we could find a happy medium between the current slowness and our ultimate peak speeds of a month or two ago.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
What, you have a daughter? You haven't mentioned that in the DD threads in 4 years.
Also curse their prematurity. Why can't they live in GMT+1 like normal people? Or at least stay late in work? I once again had to make an "he-doesn't-understand-me-I-don't-understand-him-so-we-sent-mails-anyway-and-coming-early-to-work-was-a-waste" call today. I hate those calls.
How could I miss that?
Ah. That's how, I wasn't in the thread back then.
E5 only a 4? But it contains Sweetie Bell and Rarity in the prescribed amounts!
Actually, quite the opposite. I took leave day on Friday and meet a few friends and relatives over the weekend and was back on Sunday night. I just posted yesterday since when I tried to catch up the new thread just showed up. And so far this has been an acceptable busy week. Still don#t have time to catch up on the last thread past post 900.
And thanks for asking! And how's your live been the past weeks?
One you guys take serious
It used to be my job too.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
So, Rainbows.
Spoiler
Well, Rainbows and Factories.
Yeah, I ended up reading it a little while back too, almost entirely because of how good the song was. Actually, I thought the Song was actually quite non-specific. It could just be that I was missing something, but it seemed to not really get any more definately than vaguely ominous hints.
The Fic was firmly in so-bad-it's...well, not so bad it's good, but so bad it's almost worth reading in a twisted kind of way. Just so completely out of character for everyone involved, even in comparison with Cupcakes which had the same hilarious terribad thing going. Mostly, the fact that they were so far out of character, along with the terrible slasher style attempts at horror just completely negated any of the potential impact of both of them. If your stomach is strong, they shouldn't trouble you in any long-term manner, and if you don't feel up to it, don't worry. You're not missing anything by not reading them, really.
Personally, I get a much more eerie, lovecraftianly things-pony-was-not-meant-to-know vibe from the Song, and toyed with the idea of doing my own version of the Fic, but I'm not particularly interested in either Grimdark, Grimdark Pony-Fics, or Fics in general, writing or reading. So it'll probably never happen. I'm pretty sure I could do better, but that's not exactly a wild claim.
I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the Derpy-Dinky fanon, really.
I kind of like the adoption route, partially because of this relatively D'aaw free music-reference-pic that someone posted a while back.Spoiler
I like the idea actually that Sparkler is an adopted daughter too. Specifically, that she is pretty much the same age as Derpy, or possibly even older, but that for some reason Derpy ended up adopting her regardless. It's even further into only-ever-fanon territory than the rest of that, though.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Not sure how canon it is, but this picture
Spoiler
says she is "the MOST MAGICAL pony" (capitalization not changed), which is certainly not unreasonable. Also, concerning Dragonshy, I do believe she could have handled the situation herself with ease, but, you know, Friendship Lessons and all that. She can probably handle anything less than superpowered beings like Nightmare Moon and Discord.Last edited by Athaniar; 2011-11-08 at 06:52 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Somewhat related, but kinda sad.SpoilerThere was actually a story a little while ago about something like this. A brony was working in a hospital, and shared MLP: FiM with a little girl who had terminal cancer. Pinkie Pie became her favorite character, and he gave her a Pinkie Pie Plushie for her birthday. She loved the little thing, and it eventually helped her get over the fact she was going to die soon. Before that happened though, she wrote the guy a note saying she considered him to be, in essence, her older brother and she gave the plushie back.Last edited by Mystic Muse; 2011-11-08 at 06:49 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Hiya folks!
I'm working on a Quotepost, and a lot of it is just old thread drama we're mostly past. So should I drop it, edit out those posts, or just go into it with my usual gusto?
So we have IRC elsewhere, being posted. RP has kinda died out. Art seems limited to Thanqol or it's own thread. And fics never receive the attention they deserve... I know this sounds absurd
But
Is there anything we still talk about that isn't individual episodes or the fandom as a unit?

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
I am kind of with you on that one. I haven't seen all the episodes twice, and I don't think I've seen any of them more than thrice.
I was actually working on statting out Rarity in GURPS last night, after working on the list of spells that I think would fit in with her talent. Although both need work.
Season 2 Episode 5 Spoiler (with some Ep4 for good measure):
SpoilerRarity does take the self-oath "With Celestia as my witness", though that isn't necessarily a religious oath, since one could do that with the ruler as well. I do find the Nightmare Night proceedings vaguely religious, and if Luna is a goddess Celestia probably would be. I personally refer to them as demigods. Yes, this means I believe that dragons are as powerful as demigods.Thanks to zegma for my awesome avatar.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
So I guess a good way to round it up is: Alicorns may be just naturally more powerful than unicorns. They may have more ability than what their special talent would say. Personally I'm chalking this up to "you live 1000+ years in a (seemingly) unaging body and see how strong you are in X subject".
Do you think there are more 'generic' spells ponies can learn beyond the telekinesis? I'm liking the idea that beyond special-talent related magic there is a 'universal' pool of magic any unicorn can learn. At least by my thought process what's the point of tons of spell books and ponies like Starswirl the bearded creating hundreds of spells if very few ponies could learn them. Could also be used to explain dispelling the Want it, Need it spell. As far as the "spell only I can break" (and I'm just making things up here) maybe magical locks work in the way of having to match certain frequencies of magic to flip the tumblers.My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Thread, The Game, The Tumblr.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Just read Rainbow Factory.
SpoilerNothing Special. I'm disappointed that Scootaloo didn't go out in some sort of blaze of glory, maybe taking the entire factory with her. The story could at least try to give us a reason why their parents haven't wrote to the flight school demanding to know where their children are. Overall, I will give this story a 21.
I agree with your concerns. If this continues for another week, I'd say we need to take some sort of action.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
If it's old thread drama I'd recommend dropping it really.
As for what we can talk about... um... maybe we need some sort of group project to work on? Like... maybe a What If scenario where X happened, where X is some big event. Then write it up. That kinda thing.
Man, I'm not good at this.

I've been trying to make MLP monster classes (Have the Pegasus and Pony/dragon crossbreed so far) but have mostly just been lazing around lately.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
I think you may have combined quotes somehow since what you are responding to is something I said and the Random_Person thing that is linked is something else.
And what you brought up wasn't something I thought of when I asked it but I do remember reading that. I think it was the brush-able thing not a plushie I may have to find it and check though.My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Thread, The Game, The Tumblr.

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.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
A group project, eh? Well, all I can do is brainstorm for story ideas to put on my to-do list.
Although I did have one idea that I liked, but can't really do justice to myself. Essentially, Dash gets hold of a dimensional hopper remote, which takes her to story after story from the Realm of Bad Pony Fanfiction. (Specifically RD related ones)Avatar by Glasswhistle
