: Burn it with fire!

[Gamerlord]

4 pages? In my sleep? And only two when I am awake?
What, does my very existence somehow slow down the thread?

[Kyouhen]

: Burn it with fire!

Burning books with fire is naughty and you shouldn't do it. It makes nasty smoke and the fire could spread and hurt innocent plants and animals. It also takes too long. Just banish it to the sun, it's faster and safer.

Yes. It's just like waiting for Santa as a kid. Sooner you go to bed, sooner he shows up.

[Kurgan]

So after 6+ months of constantly seeing a MLP thread here, along with the rise of pony avatars left and right, I decided to investigate this show myself. Got to say, I am impressed. A few minor things didn't sit well with me, but overall I enjoyed it. Thanks for inciting my curiosity on this!

Also: Darthbobcat, I loved the Meet the Spy / Fluttermac picture you posted two pages back.

Really have nothing more to contribute right now. Just debating whether I want to devote the entirety of my free time to catching up on all of the fanfics you guys have been posting left and right.

Welcome to the herd, sir.

And the answer is 'yes'.

[EsperDerek]

Welcome to the herd, sir.

And the answer is 'yes'.

Just be warned that it may, in fact, take the rest of your natural life.

And then you'll descend into ponysanity. Just like the rest of us have.

[Kurgan]

And the answer is 'yes'.

Thank you, and I suppose that when you put it like that, I really have no arguments. If they end up half as good as the show, it will be time well spent. Suppose I'll dig into them when I get up tomorrow, depending on if I end up having plans or not.

Ponysanity? This concept both frightens and intrigues me.

I find this both ominous and amusing.

Ponysanity as a word is 40% longer than "Sanity". And that's like there was a 20% cooler explosion... and then there was a 20% cooler explosion AGAIN!

This right here? This is a classic case of ponysanity. Can you imagine? Thanqol was once a normal human being, with normal human thought patterns.

And now...

[ScionoftheVoid]

Now he's up 63.7% of a megarainbow (measurement of awesome). Roughly speaking.

I was what? When? I don't remember any such thing Are you a spy?

[Grif]

So... ponysanity also involves retrograde amnesia? That'll explain my inability to recall... my... human... days... wait.

I don't know, so far the advantages of ponysanity seem to be outweighing the drawbacks. After all, Thanqol descended into ponysanity, and as a result pulled off perhaps the best lp I've ever seen of Europa III. Are there any serious issues that come up as this condition escalates?

Wait, what? Oh, damn, what was my real name again...uh...right! Midnight!

Allow me to present a case study.

I left for my D&D session and you people already have four pages. That is literally a page an hour. Sort of. Whatever.

Anyway, I think I might have just displayed the most advanced form of pony infection I've ever seen. Story time!

*my brother is a fellow brony, btw*

So I've just finished my first honest session as a DM. I'm seeing the players out the door, all had fun, good times. I turn and see my brother, silhouette framed in the door. He looks...disappointed? Confused? Accusatory? Maybe he didn't like something in the session? Did I mess up or something?

I ask him what's wrong. He just shakes his head. "Goddess of time, Amish? Really?"

I was confused. What was wrong with the matron deity of the main city? Did I do something wrong with it?

He shakes his head again. "Think back to what your description was, and you tell me."

I think back. I had said this was a goddess concerned with the passage of time. In the early days of the city, the farmers had a really strict growing season, and their lives depending on the seasons changing on time, the days being the right lengths, and so on and so forth and oh gosh I've made Celestia the matron deity.

And it was completely unintentional.

Not only have the ponies invaded my subconscious (I've had the dreams too), they are now planting suggestions and ideas. I have been Inception'd with/by ponies. And they've let me figure it out. WHY HAVE THEY LET ME FIGURE IT OUT.

Clearly this means it is too late already. We are all doomed. The world will fall to ponies, the party will be compleat. And the pink one will arrive as scheduled.

Be the judge. Also, you might develop a sudden need to get a pony avatar.

Gasp! Does this mean I get to count you as a convert!? That pushes me up to 8!

Ponysanity has had me more productive than I've ever been in my entire life; LPs, fics, art, videos, 'round the board. I've never produced more, or faster. If anything, this humanity thing has been holding me back.

I remember. I'll always remember. I won't let what we once were be forgotten! This, I, Midnight, vow!

Wait, what? Oh, damn, what was my real name again...uh...right! Midnight!

Don't be silly. Your name is Princess Mommy.

Quit your whining, unicorn

Yes, one of the symptoms of Ponysanity is increased creativity. It's really quite impressive!

Don't be silly. Your name is Princess Mommy.

Oh, right, of course darling, I forgot!

Hey, sometimes Mommy's horn gets tired from all the magic, and she has to use her hooves.

[Grif]

Speaking of the LP, are you continuing it into Gal Civ 2? Just asking. You know. Not from any secret desire to see the Terror Star Otto Herbelin blow up a star. Nope. No sirree.

I'm going to sit here like a human now. Because seats with backrests are meant to be used.

I wish I had a horn. All I've got is a dumb mask, which ponies on the internet can't even see. Dumb rock!

Ah, okay. I could see that. An all consuming perfectionism that's prevented her from really enjoying anything.

Purple Pie: Spitfire, we need to talk.

Also, yes, Fluttermac was the first ship I was ever willing to seriously consider.

Fluttermac wouldn't work. Fluttershy's defining characteristic is her kindness and her drive to care for other. The one time when she couldn't care for the critters at the Gala and was rejected by them it drove her crazy. Really, really crazy. So what would she get from being with Big Mac? He is physical strong and mentally stable, so unless he is very clumsy and gets hurt a lot he doesn't need her. And I don't think Fluttershy could stand that.

And I like the term ponysanity.

Oooh, that depends on your definition of "serious issues", my good man. Do you mind voices in your head (multiple at once after the condition progresses), occasional bouts of thinking you're some sort of magical equine, or using your literary talents to critique pony fanfiction over the internet instead of doing something useful with it like your English teachers would want? Because heck if I am, I hated English class! Who are they to tell me what stories are or aren't worth my time! And who says I can't start a sentence with "because"? Rabble rabble rabble!

*ahem* Er, right. Sorry. Bit off track there.

Unfortunately for you, it's already too late. You may think you have a choice now, but that's just a common symptom; early stages of delusion and major denial. Trust me, I was there too. You've already posted in a pony thread, and may I be so bold to assume that you've started looking at fanart? The ponies are in your system, lad, and there's no getting them out.

I'm sorry, but you've got the silly. And it's terminal AWESOME.

[Raz_Fox]

If you want specific recommendations from me, well, I like people to read my stories, obviously. (I'm Bobcat on ED and I have my own author tag and everything!)

I don't think I've told you how much I love you for linking Misted Stage to anypony who asks for a fanfic recommendation, so... I love you as much as Lyra loves Twilight for linking my story to anypony who asks for a fanfic recommendation.

Having Fluttershy as a conscience must be interesting. Probably more conductive to mental stability than, say, Metal Mask and a Banana, or Baron Awesome and the Druid Droid.

[...]

Well, it's still better than that time Raz_Fox was acting as my conscience.

Excuse me, what? I've never acted as your conscience! Well, maybe as your moral mentor and adviser, but never as a conscience, per se.

And I'm pretty sure that the Cheshire Cat is one half of my conscience. I'm not sure who the other one is. It might be the Doctor, which would explain why I've been having these urges to start randomly running places and licking the walls in between tea parties.

Wheeeeeeeee

Guys, guess what I did! I put something new into the MLP:FiM:The Thread:The Game project! I need it would like it looked at (Bonus World: Angmare, which isn't finished yet, and Scions of Angmare under Mooks, also added to the soundtrack). I feel like I'm the only one who remembers the project, with the last three entries in the discussion document being mine. So, please, check it out!
