My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!

[SiuiS]

You're missing the forest for the cellulose molecules, my friend.

An army which claims (and, I admit, could probably back it up) to be able to eventually conquer the universe. You know what else is distant, inevitable and unbeatable? The heatdeath of the universe.

He has a right to exist. We have a right to oppose his existence. The back an forth boils down to it all being meaningless. Do what you must. I will do as I must. Bleakbane will do as he must. In the end, we can look back and see which way things went. That's existence. Existence is struggle.

In the words of Executor Palen, "You don't like something? Good. Then fight for it. But don't expect is to hand it to you on a platter." I mean that with the deepest respect, too. If we have to come to opposition, ideologically, physically, mentally, emotionally, don't hold back. If your best, truest self can be expressed by beating me? Compromise is off the table, backing down, rephrasing, are all unavailable, I hope you rest in traction or on my cooling body. This is a thing I admittedly exaggerate, but the zeal is there. There is beauty in the struggle. Transcendence. Becoming. Rise. Rise again. Burn. Hotly, deeply, and consume what you have to to feed the flames.
Bleakbane will.
And so will I.

That was a pretty adorable taken on that trailer scene. I particularly like the little details such as the hairbrush and her element necklace.

Actually, that's not Sweetie Belle, it's Moondancer from G1, G4ized as a filly.

Ah. Uncanny resemblance then.

Fillies and gentlecolts, the time has finally come. Ponies are officially serious business. We just made the pages of the Ultra Serious Business Geopolitical Finance Magazine, The Economist.

It's not an explicit reference, embedded in an article about arcane legal rules, but this is literally as far as The Economist's pop culture references ever go. The last internet culture reference was an XKCD quote in early February.

(Sorry for slight blur, don't own a scanner). Page 63 of the September 8th issue.)

As one of my life goals is to be quoted, referenced or mentioned in the pages of The Economist, this feels disproportionately awesome to me.

...I cannot believe I didn't make the connection between the title of that article and the show.

Well. I am a Celt. And what kind of Celt would I be if weren't occasionally lost in the melodrama?

This sounds like the setup for a positively brain-curdling pun, but for the life of me I can't think of one.

[Kd7sov]

So, are you saying that anypony who uses that map at all is wrong and should have the notion that the map could be accurate beaten out of them? That's what I'm arguing against.

Well, no. But honesty compels me to admit that if I know someone's conclusions are based on the map, I am less likely to accept said conclusions as worth respecting.

And that's why you're a modern day knight and I'm a self-professed peasant. I don't care for struggle. As long as you let me do my job, fell free to knock each other out over which one has better morals (and more often than not, who gets to be the boss). Quae sunt Caesaris Caesari.

We agree, but different phrasing makes it sound otherwise. doin your job is a struggle. I'm saying when someone else does their job, and it opposes mine, I still respect them for holding their ground is all.

It's a very fatalistic outlook I think. Surprisingly romantic, too. That's probably the zealotry.

That's too bad. Where are these epubs? Edit: If these are the ones made by others, then they might also not be up to date. I've done some editing of my stories over time, although nothing major in most cases.

Fimfiction has epub downloads. It's most probably a reader problem, when I open the same file on the PC, everything is there.

I had a ponydream!

Spoiler

Show

Basically I was in vacation in BC with my dad and most of the Mane 6. Weirdly Pinkie wasn't actually there but instead was a hologram. Either Rarity or Applejack were a hologram as well. Only one of them but I'm not sure which.

Anyways Fluttershy went missing so we were trying to track her down where my dad (who was left behind) started freaking out and calling my cell. Eventually we figured that Fluttershy went to where she was abducted the first time . Sure enough we find her there and then we head home. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy start cuddling (FlutterDash ) and Twilight lectures me about something but I couldn't understand her (no sound was in my dream only meanings were transmitted). A strange pony who I didn't recognize was at my home. Apparently she really liked ear scratches because after I gave one she wouldn't stop following me around. (Ends up the pony was Moondancer. Weird my subconscious pulled her out.)

Then I became one of 4 Warriors of Light and left to save the world from something or another. The dream goes on but there wasn't any ponies so

Basically my mind now subconsciously ships FlutterDash

well, since the new DVD released Dec 4th contains season three episodes, we can expect season three to start before that. Plus maybe give some room for ITune release. I estimate season three to start in OCT. I bet on 20th OCT.

In Adventures in the Crystal Empire, a magical empire has suddenly appeared in the arctic north of Equestria, and PRINCESS CELESTIA needs TWILIGHT SPARKLE and her friends to find a way to protect it. While her friends try to keep the Crystal Ponies occupied at the Crystal Faire, TWILIGHT SPARKLE searches for the hidden Crystal Heart that is the key to keeping their empire safe from harm!

Crystal Empire just appears in the frozen north? Prepare yourself, crystals are coming.

Well, I have two alternate shipping arrangements:

Alternately: FlutterMac, Dashie-Pie, TwiLuna, and RariPants. Poor AJ gets no love.


zzzzwait, what? Season 1 DVD has season 3 episodes? I'm even more glad that I preordered it.

What is this I don't even-- Okay, we have what looks like recolors/rebrushed versions of the Mane six. Their eyes have hexagonal highlights, and ain't no way I'll accept that the blue one is Rainbow Dash. I do like fauxRarity's hair, though.

[Forum Explorer]

Funny thing about me is even having FlutterMac mentioned in passing will utterly ruin a story for me. This is the only ship that does this as even squicky ships like ScootaCheer doesn't have that reaction. (Though usually a squicky ship like that isn't enjoyable for an entirely different reason.) But yeah, fastest way for me to not read your fic? Include FlutterMac.

Other Fluttershy ships are fine by the way. Only FlutterMac repulses me to that degree.

Balmas I love your sig. Is that a quote from the Trixie is a Superhero game?

It's more sinister than that, do you know Rarity, Pinkie, and Cadence have in common? They commonly like using mental manipulation and control for their own ends.

That's the same picture I posted earlier, but you can see the hexagons much clearer in the blow up. My opinion is actually that it's just to reflect all the crystal and gemstones and means nothing. But that's boring, so we'll go with Cadance mind control evil powers.

I actually rather like Rarity's new hair style. I think they should have her do that at least once in the series; it was implied that they do coat dyeing in episode 1 at least.

On shipping:
The only two ships I consistently support are Fluttermac and Rarispike. I tend to be neutral to most other ships, but those two I support with the full force of whatever crime against existence that Professor Boffinspark has on hoof.

You're missing the forest for the cellulose molecules, my friend.

He has a right to exist. We have a right to oppose his existence. The back an forth boils down to it all being meaningless. Do what you must. I will do as I must. Bleakbane will do as he must. In the end, we can look back and see which way things went. That's existence. Existence is struggle.

There is beauty in the struggle. Transcendence. Becoming. Rise. Rise again. Burn. Hotly, deeply, and consume what you have to to feed the flames.
Bleakbane will.
And so will I.

If I had any idea what you were saying, I might disagree, but, yeah.
Can you comfortably argue that a being has a right to exist when they reserve the right to decide who else gets to excersize that right? I feel that is grey area, but quite beside the point as I don't remember making any points even vaguely related to that.

And the heat-death of the universe is just a theory, after all, no matter how widely supported it may be.

And I have no intention of beating anyone, especially at contests I have not chosen for myself. Much less ones whose terms of engagement are confusing or unclear.

Edit - Dash Related Ships tend to be the ones that feel more supported by the show, for me. Appledash and Flutterdash, in particular. The Apple-Pie pics someone posted earlier were quite cute though.
