My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!

[Dexam]

You mean no ill harm to me when you do this but.....can you please stop ponifying things?

Well, because you asked so nicely... I'll stop...

Spoiler

Show

... Okay, so I'm bad at this. STOP JUDGING ME!

More seriously, no matter how politely phrased, you're still asking people on the internet to stop having fun. Yes, I appreciate that you're annoyed at the saturation of ponification on the internet, but it's only really appropriate to ask people to stop if the posted ponies are off-topic or irrelevant. In which case, asking nicely for those people to take their ponies elsewhere is quite acceptable; and any brony worthy of the name will politely acquiesce.

Otherwise, welcome to the internet. I suggest learning to ignore the things that bother you - it will make your internet experience so much more enjoyable. Of course, you could improve your internet experience even more so by embracing the pony fad, but one might consider me biased in that regard.

Sorry for the wait. Let's move onto another one...

Season 2 Pony Awards!
Most Emotional Moment!

BEGIN!

I'm going to through my vote behind Twilight losing faith in her friends.

[HalfTangible]

Season 2 Pony Awards!
Most Emotional Moment!

BEGIN!

This Day Aria. (especially with Cadence falling to the ground and sobbing with hopelessness at the end right before Chrysalis goes 'mine all mine' on us)

Twilight turning gray

... This. (fluttershy crying in hurricane fluttershy)

[Emperordaniel]

Season 2 Pony Awards!
Most Emotional Moment!

Any scene from This Day Aria that features the real Princess Cadance.

[Gamerlord]

Season 2 Pony Awards!
Most Emotional Moment!

BEGIN!

I'll vote for This Day Aria and Fluttershy crying under that tree in Hurricane Fluttershy.

[horngeek]

Any scene from This Day Aria that features the real Princess Cadance.

This.

And the rest of the aria just reinforced my burning, undying RAGE () towards the Queen.

...wow. Not many villains actually get this much of a reaction from me. It doesn't hurt that I love Cadance as a character.

Very clear case of Late Stage One. The Infection will run it's course, there is no cure.

... Doctor, is there something wrong with me? I completely skipped Stage 1 Early and Stage 2 Late.

(The full story will, of course, wait until Poniversary as I said, but I only ever saw one pony thing on youtube before I started watching the episodes proper.)

(Also several of the other stages don't apply to me at all because of temperament things, but those two specifically didn't happen.)

*Swivels his chair*

*Places fingertips together and raises a very professional eyebrow*

No, young filly - I mean mare, er, man. *Coughs* It's perfectly normal. Certain individuals are particularly susceptible to Infection, due to lifestyle and upbringing, mostly. These individuals frequently develop Stage Three of the Infection within hours of exposure. Strangely, these individuals are no more likely to progress towards Stage Four that other Infected, and are generally able to lead relatively normal lives. Normal by Infected standards, you understand.

[Tiki Snakes]

Well, that and the scale is unscientifically made up with half of the entries being wild exaggerations that often miss the point entirely and is generally distorted by the decision to phrase it as an infection and cram left for dead references in there?

Also, I need to stop listening to This Day Aria quite so much.

My real-life brony friends (the guys I 'converted' a while back) have been working on a little project for the last month or so.

Before I left for Austria in early April, they had acquired a talking 'Pinklestia', and were in the process of modding her.

She was bald, wingless and, at that time, partially waterlogged. All in all, a bit of a sorry sight.

Is it bad that I went from 2 to 5 in one day?

[SiuiS]

Yes. Yes he is. And damned proud of it, too!

Alright, alright. Far be it from me to challenge your (non?)ecological niche.

Some of it is. Spirit-Bound Liches are by definition, not.

Yes, but spirit binding apes and, in a way, reinforces the normal natural bond. Certainly it's not quite the 'unholy travesty against the cycles of life and death' it's made out to be!

That's enough Tomas.

I always laugh and shake my head when people talk about the "balance of nature."

"Nature" is a brutal battleground fought in dozens of timescales, seen in seconds and minutes by animals, in hours or days by plants and fungi, in millions of years between species. It's the slow, steady war waged by trees against not only other species, but against each other they struggle for canopy dominance. It's the bitter, slow-motion harpoon-warfare of battling sea anemones. It's the violent battles to the death between herbivores. It's the slow creeping death of the body-snatching parasites that possess the bodies of snails. It's the complex dance of arms between predator and prey, fought across unumbered years, from anomalocaris to pteygotis to dimetrodon, from gorgonops to tyrannosaurus to arctodus to homo sapiens. It's survival constantly dancing along the catastrophy-curve of extinction against the ever-changing enviromnents. It is beautiful and terrible, glorious and awe-inspiring.

But what it is not is "balanced" or "harmonious."

Depends on definition. It's not a static balance, no. But it is a dynamic one; when things shift, something takes the burden. Having a natural cycle pushed too far and break destroys it - and while something else can and will eventually move in to the gap, that doesn't preclude the disruption in the first place.

Harmony is a different matter XD

Wait what the frak? he really went giving muffins out?
lol
Whatever, not like someone could do that around here without raising suspicion.

Sounds like a challenge. What chunk of the world are you on? We'll deploy a second O:IF.

The infection chart hardly seems to apply to me. I watch it and like it, but I'm not obsessed at all.

really, FiM isn't some black hole that drags you and into some all-consuming fandom or whatever. its just a show. a good show, but a show nonetheless.

Well, a lot of media gets very dedicated fans, but with FiM it's just easier to notice with the scope of the fanbase. There's a lot of very dedicated fans so people assume every brony/person who enjoys the show would become like the hardcore fans.

Yeah, it's more a "welcome to the thread!" + "chance to post moar pics!" is all. Good to have you aboard!
The very first page of almost every thread has loads of resources. and where possible, edit stuff into old posts rather than post twice in a row. You can also quote multiple people by clicking the multiquote button ("+) next to the quote button. You can only have up to ten multiquotes though, so if you click an eleventh, it will get rid of or "drop" the first.

What does the SP stand for if I may ask?
