Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
On the topic of RD's perceived gender... I have to join the group of those who instantly classed her as male and became wildly confused when every pony referred to her as "her". This was before I'd realized the visual differences between male and female ponies, so it was all based on the voice.
I've come to accept that RD is a girl and it's all fine, but even though I know better, occasionally her voice still throws me off a little.
However, to me, Zecora is much worse. Even to this day I can't hear that voice and accept that she's supposed to be a female. Every time the ponies refer to her as "her", my brain shuts down a little. It isn't helped by the fact that Zecora actually looks rather like a male pony too, with that squarish snout.

Huh, I never heard of anyone have those doubts about Zecora.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
My assumption has always been that the necklaces fizzled away shortly after they defeated nightmare moon and the elements were "within" if they ever needed them. "Needed" here meaning Nightmare moon level threat, so the parasprites and diamond dogs wouldn't count.
EDIT: @Kindablue. I also figured that any group of friends with the right qualities could use them if they got their hands on them.Last edited by OrchestraHc; 2011-08-05 at 04:01 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
I see it as this: as long as you have 6 ponies who exemplify the traits (and those are somewhat rare), they can have the talent imprinted on them. Once the elements are bonded to them, they have them until they die, at which point the element turns back into the stone sphere.
The rarest part was the element of magic; you need an unusually talented pony to do what Twilight does for the team.
For more than one fic, I need the necklaces to be something they just keep in their houses, though for the show, I could see it working the way you said, OrchestraHc.
Also calling it a night. Here's 3 new pages of Semper Fi; home stretch. I'm on the home stretch.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Comparitively sane. Which says a lot about the rest of you, when the racially insane abomination (used to) look well-balanced in comparsion...
Okay, so it didn't work quite as well I'd hoped. (It was because Spike was there, wasn't it, damn you all!)
But it did, at least, work.
Quickly, slowly, and with how much collateral damage? We have a very wide range of suitable weaponry...

You see, from the tone and implications for your other posts, last night, I almost feel a touch guilty for rejecting you out hand.
Almost.
Though I might have to scrap back-up plan #2, I fear it might perhaps be across the line of acceptably civilised evil behavior.
Damn straight!
I have to concur. As I've said before, if I must be subjected to reading/watching/etc romance, at least make a) a different set-up from time to time and b) funny.Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2011-08-05 at 07:47 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Yeah, good idea on avoiding that. At that point, you might as well reveal that he is all six elements in one being.

Dash, in her misery of losing her wings, goes on wild flings with every pony in town, hoping to distract herself via cuddles, hugs, and sugary goods.
At the same time, Trixie returns to enact revenge, but interrupts Twilight while she is practicing a love spell (to help Luna find her soul mate). The spell goes off wild and hits them both, and the rest goes down in history.
Throughout, Pinkie sings a few songs, and acts in an overly Pinkie fashion.
Lastly, somepony comes from over the horizon. Lo and behold, it is Geoff, from accounting in pony form. He shouts "behold!" and through the powers invested in him by his accounting degree, rights every wrong (except Rainbow's lack of wings, since that is permanent silly!).
There you go Amish, the perfect cliche storm of a story. I accept giant checks with absurd amounts of money written on them.
Got nothing to say about this at the moment, except that I approve of this combination of pony and gurren lagann.
Gah, thank my lucky stars for ctrl+c, as the forum ate this up when I first tried to post this.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
No no no. I'm dissapointed that we don't have anything creepier than a ship involving one person who quite vehemently objects to biological urges and their associated emotions. I don't find you creepy at all.
And that I'm creeped out by something only usually means I don't like it. There are exceptions.
Con drain causes death, and is permanent without the help of magic. Just sayin'.
You mean variously lusted after and despised by everyone else?
You realise we're in ponythread and are obligated to love and tolerate, right?
I seem to have had a quote go missing, and will begin looking for it presently.

And then Soarin turned out to be an Alicorn and he used the light from his new celestial body, the Soar-un, to destroy Tirek and then he played a guitar solo on his flying V electric guitar and made out with Applejack AND Rainbow Dash AT THE SAME TIME and then he decapitated Luna and Celestia and got their powers and The Prize and then he was a super saiyan from Zeist the end plz review don't be a prep stop flamming.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Tired, brutalised and generally as if I'm on about 3 Con (which is mostly because I am). Let's do this!
But that's not new. We need something which can creep out the newcomers and the regulars.
You think you're bad? I didn't get the actual joke bit until I reread it when the Commodore quoted it. I had already laughed anyway.
Edit: If the Commodore's no longer the thread's One Sane Lich, who is? Bobcat's gone off his rocker, so that rules him out. Raz isn't suitable for any official position (umm... because he already runs that publication! That's right, that's the reason...) and Thanquol, as his soul bro, isn't either. Midnight's not quite qualified, especially with that human voice she keeps hearing in her head. Phoe isn't here at the moment. SiuiS might work. But ultimately, I think we all know who we should use as a judge of how sane we need to be. If I haven't mentioned someone, please don't be offended.
Lix Lorn is the obvious choice for new Sane Pony.Last edited by ScionoftheVoid; 2011-08-05 at 05:06 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Huh. Actually, now that you mention it I hear a husky boy's voice in Zecora, whereas previously she just sounded like a mellow Madam Clio. I pegged her for a gal immediately. Good note though. Now I kinda can't stop hearing her as a boy.
Hm. This ... I don't remember quoting this.
Oh well. I did think it would be neat I'd the Elements were discrete objects, and that before the Lunar Rebellion, they were handed down like mini-crowns of separate knightly orders. I think having an unbroken chain of Knifhts of Kindness would be pretty sweet. Knights of laughter, Generosity. Magic...
Maybe Blueblood is crazy strong magic-wise? He is descended from a line of Nobles who were representatives of the Order of Magic? They were hushed, because magic and friendship and all that show up as a surprise in the pilot (and I don't think it's just a case of Twilight not readin the proper history).
That's the canonical impression I get, only rather than once a generation, they would be once an age. That is, whenever needed.
I commiserate with you, my friend. that is to say; I know that feel.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
In the old days those were supposed to be male? Rd is more male than them, and she likes to wear pretty dresses.
One of the many being me and SiuiS
She sounds feminine to me. And she has a long, blond pony tail with a little red ribbon in it, and freckles. That visual screams 'girl' to me. I had less problems imaging the rest of the cast as guys.
It's the ponyness. It has reached your brain and starts to reconfigure your mind.
Maybe it's magic DNA?
Considering this is a origin story it's also the last time he's cute.
Considering that Australia is covered with a 1 meter thick layer of poisonous snakes and insects and local only abominations talking a walk sounds pretty impressive.
That's a good start, but it lacks paternal tests and surprise guests.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Yeah, I had almost added more detail to the story there as well. I was going to say: "And then Soarin revealed that he was in fact Princess Celestia all along, and that the one we have seen thus far has been a mere image.
Seconded (well, thirded or fourthed by now) with the force of a thousand suns.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Ponysane is like insane, Midnight. They are talking about my loosely defined former position of embodiment of regular (comparative) sanity (not related to the Elements, more of administrative position) to the thread, which is the exact opposite of you... In fact, it was suggested (by me) specifically to counterbalance the ponysanity, you, in particular, were responsible for...
Needless to say, I'm not sure Lixie is a good choice, but on the other hoof, a I was the person (using the word "person" very loosely) to hold the position, I guess it's still probably an improvement... Ish...Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2011-08-05 at 07:46 AM.

I'll vote for Lix if she promises to mail me a piece of that German space elf lich (I was thinking something small, like one of the carpel bones) for air conditioning. It's a hundred degrees every single day. And it hasn't rained in months. I'll take the risks.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Curses, I only have comically over-sized million dollar bills! Will those work?
This...would make an amusing plot device. The mane cast needs the Rainbow of Light for some incoming threat, but are forced to hold it off until AJ finds where she put the darn necklace.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Them not learning anything is one thing. Them pointing out to each other what they're really good at and failing to notice anything makes them all look stupid. I don't know, just pushes the joke a little too far for my tastes. Outside of those few parts I have no complaints with the CMC and find their antics to be amusing.
Hooray! The stare was totally not wasted!
Oh bobcat, I love how tricky you are with those words. Trying to draw attention away from the fact that we're actually implying that you have a hoof fetish instead of simply acknowledging it.
...I thought Pinkie's saloon girl outfit was adorable. Then again half of that might be that, for some odd reason, I find ponies attempting to can-can to be ridiculously cute.
It started here:
"Every order comes with a Twilight Sparkle and The Great And Powerful Trixie!"
"This isn't what I meant when I agreed to be shipped with Trixie."
"Be quiet and get in the box."

In other news, I'm moving offices today! Not a huge move, just to a new desk down the hall. But almost none of my desk decorations are going to fit because it has smaller walls D: I need to reorganize. Also now I'm thinking of Winter Wrap-up only it's Office Wrap-up.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
I prefer the term "differently sane", or "selectively sane", thank you very much.
