Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
There's always been a scene quietly sitting in my head once I learned that Twilight actually had parents, set around Reaching Midnight about Twilight sitting down with her parents and having the most awkward conversation ever, and then introducing the quite visibly pregnant Trixie for the most awkward introduction ever.
If I ever find a place to put it, that scene will be written. As is, Trixie has met Twilight's parents, and they are happy grandparents to Midnight, even if they are positively embarrassed whenever the subject comes up around their friends.
"Aww, it's so sweet that your daughter and her lover adopted that foal. I have to say, she looks so much like them, too!"
"Uhm, yes. Adopted..."
I became a brony the week Sonic Rainboom came out. In retrospect, that was pretty darn good timing.

I vote you name one of Midnight's foals 'Dawn' and one of her grandfoals 'Day.'
Midnight is...

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Cool pic.
The game I thought you were referencing was really creepy, but I liked it. NarutoPony would be.. weird, but interesting.
Another Lyra and BonBon pic, I didn't see this one posted here yet:

FFRP: Finding Berry Ann
Spoiler
Beeskee: "Wow! That sounds really handy!" He nods, flinching slightly at the sounds of the various explosions and scary noises, not willing to risk a glance backward himself, just in case it is as bad as it sounds. Presumably Topaz will say something if their ride outright explodes. "That ship definitely sounds... complicated."
He listens carefully as she explains the dreamscape, one ear twitching a bit. Here he thought the ship was complex. "I.. uh.. don't know if I understood all that." He smiles, and says, "I do know I am glad that we have you along. Thank you." He thinks back, trying to remember if he properly introduced himself... Better safe than sorry. "If I forgot to mention before, my name is Beeskee." As they approach the store, he spots the cart, loaded and ready to go with a good variety of supplies, both of the 'survival' kind as well as more than a few party supplies, pointing it out to Topaz. There's a clear area nearby, on the street.
(OOC: I couldn't find if I had introduced myself ICly in any of the previous posts.)
Eep! *hides from the violent pony* Hrm... Either that pony doesn't like being touched, or they say something really embarrassing when poked in the flank. I volunteer, uh, somepony else to find out which it is.

Ach. Dammit, Thanqol
I wake, up, sore. "should I bring any exercise stuff to work today? I feel like I've been applebucked. Oh hey, ethanol posted something..."
You can be more.
-_-
One wonders if this is in the bunker I'm about to try and board.
One also wonders what a bunker looks like, on rockets.
I'm seeing this
Spoiler
With bigot mobile rockets at each corner, and a perfectly flat bottom with soil, roots and debris hanging from it.
Doooo eeeeeet.
Princess Celestia: So, the main characters, who are called Moonlight, Skittershy, Surprise, Spectrum Storm, Applehoof and Elegance, have been banished to a dungeon on the moon by the evil princess trollestia!
Twilight: Um... Princess... are you trying to tell us something?
Princess Celestia: Let's just say I don't like people wandering off the rails. (Grins)
Hee, thanks. It's really an old one, but with me adding words in paint. xD
That's pretty much the point. xD It's in celebration of Eldritch Abomination week, and I didn't want to ask for a new avvie, so I just added mocking dark text to my favourite one. (Favourite non-pony one. End of the week will be the G&P again)
Ok, for eldritch abomination week, I'll use my Avatar as my original character, instead of the more mellow IC version.
Complete with mystic energies!
GOODNIGHT EVERYPONY!
Oh wow, cute~
We're trying to keep it slow so everypony can catch up.
Spoiler*snip'd*
Only if you find cutie marks sexual.
RANDOM RELATED TANGET ALERT
What if Nightmare moon's black is luna's original shade? Rather than developing auroric hair, Luna's benefit from using the elements was to be painted the friendlier, soothing purple of a stormy night at sea.
It took way to much effort for that not to be a stormy knight...
But this is Ponythread! That's how we roll! Wait. Waaait. No, no we don't. 99.999% of our shipping is F/F. The lack of phallacy is an anomoly on the internet.
Wow, I guess this fandom really is Unique!
We ship straight pairings
We ship
Um
We
We ship...
Caramel x Twilight! Yeah! And... And... FlutterMac! Ballin'! And Spike x Rarity (yes yes, commodore, "victory one pony at a time mwahaha" I was already on your side though) and... Um.
Oh! Tom x Rarity! And Rocky x Mdm. LeFleur!
I'm reaching! I'm reaching sooo hard but it's ok because I'm actually finding stuff!
But yeah, heteropony is oddly hard o_O"
I think you just asked some really cynical cops. It's illegal by the letter of the law, no matter the situation if you're under 21. The only exception is religious purposes (AKA "drinking the blood of christ"), and there the actual number is a bit hazy.
You know, this makes me miss the Pony Bondage when Phoe was around.
...Come to think, this makes me miss Phoe.
Also I love it that I'm now being called Jade as a nickname.*
"hey! He's a pony who doesn't seem to have gender preference. Jade it is."
I really hope I do! As of right now we both have campaigns on Wednesdays, so Thursday mornings absolutely nothing gets done as Dan and I geek out over our sessions the night prior.
I love all of these ideas. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with avariel if I do Fluttershy. However. Psychoshutin and I were chatting in the car.
EsperDerek. I have a question for you. Would you mind if I recreated the Out in the Cold continuity in a D&D campaign? As much as I love TrixieShy, I like the story that much more.
You know what? Either way, this Fluttershy is being introduced in the campaign world. Too much work has been put into her character mechanics by you crazy ponies for me to not. :P
I'd also suggest ranks in oratory for inspirational "yay~"
Umm... GMT-8 is on the same time as California and British Columbia, right? Hmm. Well, I get to work at 5 AM GMT-8, and I leave work at 2 PM GMT-8. So that's when I'm best available to back and forth chat.
I find it odd because those are the hours I least see you around the thread.
I keep forgetting there is a whole playground out there though, so insert self-aware embarrassed chuckling here ^.^"
I will do this. I will ask them what their AC is, throw the Bullet Bill, and if it hits, they get hit in game. And it will be glorious.
"what's your AC?"
"56! *proud*"
*tosses the figurine* "he hit you."
"... Don't I get a reflex save?"
"Hm. Lemme see." *tosses again* "nope. He hit you"
This is why he is the master of quotes and I am only the apprentice. I refuse to sit down and do one of these with less than two monitors, for I deem it to be too much of a pain in the flank.
Anything I can't do is a weakness, to me. I value proficiency, which is why I have any health at all- natural, circumstantial muscle development. For example, it really grinds my gears that I can't drink anything cold. My body refuses, and if I want to chug something I have to leave it out, or in severe time constraints, microwave it. I know my eventual defeat at the hands of Doctor Nefarious will have something to do with this...
So hey, give it a go! It's like the first time you hit the character limit; an achievement. Do it once, and you'll be able to say "I can, but why would I?". That's my way of thinking on it at least.
Yes, yes she is. She has recieved gift art from Lauren Faust. All hail, it is mandatory.
Watching this hurt my head, so much. Owwww...
I agree with all of those except Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie Pie is curvy.
I mean, wow. Pinkie Pie honestly has the most beautiful eyes in Equestria.
Tempered with I don't like Pinkie that much.
Thirty minutes? THIRTY MINUTES?! Fillies, all of them! Why, back in my day a ripped off ear only stopped the game long enough for the guy to pick it up and stickit in his pocket!
Fencing is a sport. Getting your ear split open practicing one of the three longsword murder strikes with a shovel handle? Horseplay.
I know I did the flutterclap to Aotrs's post, but I just need to state I completely agree. Everypony has something they enjoy that some people would find offensive or strange or be squicked by. You know what? So what? I'm a furry, I'm a brony, I'm dating a Transgirl. You have no idea how much **** I get for each and every single one of them. For what reason? Because you don't approve of my life decisions? Get over yourself.
There's no reason to judge or disapprove of anything that anypony else does. Absolutely. None.
That is so awesome! I want one soooooo much!
Of...
Of...
Braz, honey? How much did we pay? I just remember screaming PURCHASE! at you until you hung up on me.
Wow, I completely missed this entire discussion (unless it was deleted, which explains how there were only 10 pages for me to catch up on).
Go for the sincere email appology.
Thank you everyone else for the well wishes, now I am gonna go watch cartoons and try and write till I am to tired to be awake.
Good to hear
Please go ahead! Recreate away! If you do follow that path, though, please do keep me updated on how it all turns out, my curiosity demands it!*
How would you set It up though? Have Trixie brag, while an NPC in town could whomp herthe whole time?
It's remarkably awesome, but I suspect the two moat likely outcomes are A) party follows Trixie, trying to get her to cheer up or B) party immediately smells DM/PC plot and begins to ignore it while doing their own thing.
So I'd love to see how you pull it off; it's something I've never quite mastered myself.
It really was an experience to remember. What really made it, though, was the company I kept. It could have been so boring and frustrating, but the ponies I was with, and the fun we had because of our situation, just made everything work.
It really is an amazing picture. I got home from work to have that in my deviantart inbox, and jaw just sort of hit the floor. The color and shading is just tremendous.
Ah. One of those fun instances where a computer can't do it no matter the power, but a human can. Like dividing one by three, then multiplying by three.
Now, if you actually try to time travel in Exalted? Either it doesn't work, or your thread in the Loom breaks and you die/suffer sudden existence failure.
That's called "surgery". Granny Smith needs some, if'n I recall.
That is, putting a hip in her hip so she can have a hip to be hip with.
Took it, fun thing. Forgot to look through the rest of the site though. I'll do that now.
Fabulous.
Would you believe I had a Twilight Sparkle moment?
"what do vexes have to so with it? They aren't real? The joys of hex... The joys of... OOOOH"
Sounds like a simple flashgame to me. Like Mario is Missing. You poke ponies, and one of them will say something important. Then you have to find the next clue at a pony who used to just say sometime mundane. While avoiding the Ponyville police, and trying to earn your cutie mark!
Yes.
Hm. Planning stages.
Re: Other replies: I think I missed some responses, but now I can't find them. Sorry everypony.
We have an advantage though: we aren't creating great art. So we can get away with short-cuts that would be critiqued all to hay if Michelangelo tried them :3*
I would personally round out the face more. *Girls usually have more fat on their faces than boys, this hides their bone structure and is one of the reasons why people say girls have a "softer" appearance. *Besides that benefit, you'd remove the "fishy" shape that we're looking at here.
If that last comment isn't going to have people jump down my throat in anger, this one will. *Your model lacks a hair analogue. *While many present cultures are continually shattering gender barriers on the hairstyle front, it is still generally awkward for a girl to be bald. *I know you're going to run into a lot of trouble trying to find a style that actually works with how the head and body rotate, but where the only thing humanoid is the head, we need a hint.
A question, commodore. These things would see themselves as female, correct? So they would have forms designed to be distinguished as female by the majority of galactic existence, yes? So they have a functional 'in universe' reason to go with standard human/mammal conceits, unless you want one of them to get grouchy when somepony calls them "it" or "he".
If I want to appear manly, I dress manly. If I want to appear Girly, I'll dress Girly. If The machine race wants to appear Girly, they need to put on their female chassis. Y'know?
I see a surprised Shredder, and then another Shredder that's planning his next scheme to get revenge on those blasted turtles. *
It's irritating; I don't need a belt, my fingers aren't narrow enough... It's like a human adventurer being proud of his leanness and thinness, looking like a buffoon in a village of halfling bodybuilders. I know I'm not really 'failing' but the absurdity of the reference frames I have is maddening XD
I was just sharing a tangent story there for the sake of sharing, though. *The way S curves compared to angles was explained to me was in relation to the Sublime versus the Beautiful, with such curves being used to define Beauty, and the general structure of a woman (thick head, thin neck, thick chest, thin belly, thick waist, thick hips, thin legs, thick ankles, thin feet) being used as an example of such. *Thing is, I mean, this is personal observational anecdote here, but that's just generally how every skeleton works, counterantidisirregardless of gender. *Yes, there are skeletal differences between male and female bone structures, but they still follow that same plan, and that's also setting aside cultures where fat bellies were "in".
Not to mention one of the manliest things drawn ever is based on two tapered S curves with a couple of consummate implied triangles.
Also, um, just calling 'em as I see 'em, but Edmund Burke is one of the most pretentious writers I've ever read.
Then again, maybe my brain's just broken in regards to this sort of thing.
In the end though, he specifically can't use curves. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying the tool isn't specific enough for this instance. Your way is, generally, the best for handling the situation.
Haven't clicked the link yet, but it looks like it'll be fun. Thanks!
Raritysurprised.jpg
I may or may not have been infected by Lix, because somehow that sounds Kinky.
He honestly didn't seem fazed by it. Then again, he probably does it every show.
You know, Big Mac / Caramel is my favorite ship involving either of them. So I have 4 F/F OTPs, and a M/M OTP. Apparently I am incapable of straight ponies.
I would say as an alternate ending to Season 2 Episode 2, Discord pulls the elements of Discord from the elements of Harmony as a last ditch effort to spread chaos around the world; throwing equestria into war as the elements of Discord slowly amass an army of chaos.
LYRA X BON-BON OTP 4 LIFE
Spoiler
Ah. My mistake, I meant;
When you go from level A to B, is there just a different logo next time you talk to that pony? Or is there like, a "Your friendship is evolving!" screen where you can have a short, explanatory animation?
I'm not really sold on rocks. *I know the big Rarity joke is "A ROCK?!" but still. *It could start out as a rock for the first level, but it shouldn't be a rock for very long.
Rock > cracked rock > geode half > diamond > two diamonds > three diamonds
That doesn't feel like a lot of progress though. *The difference between the 4th level (3 motes) and the 5th and 6th levels (4 and 5 motes) wouldn't be particularly big and those of us who can't quite remember the little details like that might miss the transitions between them.
You did give me a funny idea with this one. *Start off with Rocky then add Madame LeFlour and Sir Lints-a-lot (with Party Hats), then have them one by one turn into balloons.
Like I said funny, but probably not a good idea.
EDIT: Hold on! *An idea appears! *We start with 1 balloon for level 1, level 2 is 1 balloon with some streamers and maybe a horn, level 3 is 2 balloons, no streamers. *So essentially, every other level a 'party' is thrown and another balloon appears next level.
I'll probably go with caterpillars like you said. *Assuming I can pull off 'cute caterpillars' correctly.
Not sure if disturbing.
That's um... One creepy grin, Sea Lyra. What's got you so happy?
Ah.
For reference, I'll point you to the latest TCB thread on ponychan, since it's the most up to date reference available. From there, I'd say...
Background (if you want to be a compleatist):
THE ORIGINAL: The Conversion Bureau (Blaze) -- This is what established the setting.
First Contact (Purple Prose) -- An alternate origin story that established a lot of spin-offs of its own.
Complete:
Midnight's Tale (Midnight Shadow) -- One of my favorites, and the story that probably got me started with Topaz.
A Twist In The Tail (Midnight) -- A sequel of sorts to Midnight's Tale. BTW, neither of these is related to Esper's Midnight; Midnight is apparently a very popular pony name.
A Mare’s Tail (HiddenBrony) -- More grimdark than I usually manage to get through, but I found myself really liking the characters, and it ends well (in a sense).
Incomplete:
Change of Life (FirstTimePonyWriter) -- This is one of the fics on my personal OhMyGodItUpdatedMustReadNow list. It ships Rainbow Dash with a human. And it works.
An Azure Future (Krass McWriter) -- Ponysanity, TCB style.
Ponies of a Rising Sun (Purple Prose) -- I have kind of given up on this ever updating, but I liked the beginning.
I don't know that you could make the sacrifices biscuit makes in the line of duty, young'n.
Mask: "I am a big pony!"
Will be or won't be available? Confused.
The Midnight who has batwings and sharp teeth and is partially demonic is though. There are enough ponies that it's hard to tell who does what throughout the entire fandom.
Personally, I think our Midnight is best Midnight. But I'm biased.

Fellow Bronies in the Playground, I am frightened. Why, you may ask?
I just took the How much of a Brony Are You test.
Despite the fact that I have only seen each episode once, written only one fic, never drawn anything, own no merch, and that my only outward expression of Brony-ness is this as my desktop...
by the way I LOVE Deadpool
I scored 84% on the test.
On trivia alone.

Beeskee *thbbbts* at the other pony. "I'm not a pervert! Unless your cutie mark is something really weird. I bet you say something awesome and just don't want to admit it, but I'll let some other pony get hit."
It just needs a name. "Poking Ponies for ___ and Profit!"
'Fun and Profit' fits but isn't alliterative enough. I don't want to go with 'Pleasure and Profit' because SOMEPONY already thinks I'm a pervert.

SiuiS, I'll dig through that mountain in a few minutes here. However to answer your question, yes I'll be available. The way this turn based game works, sometimes turns can be upwards of twenty five minutes waiting on a single player to finish (usually Hiver).
"Well, I wouldn't actually hit you... I really don't have it in me to hit anypony. But still!" She glances around nervously. "D-Don't want anypony to get the wrong idea that I'm violent or anything..."

"See? I bet you say something like the proper variables for the Fermi paradox, or how to combine quantum gravity with the standard model. Now Equestria will NEVER KNOW!" He rests a hoof over his face dramatically.
Yeah, I'm just teasing you back. Edit: I'm a silly pony. I'm even listening to this music in the background.
I like "Plot and Profit" - heh. That sounds funny.
Edited in so I don't spam the thread too much:
Beeskee realizes he may have actually hurt the other pony's feelings with his teasing. He offers them a friendly pony hug, with a Pinkie Pie Promise of no inappropriate touching.Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-10-09 at 02:19 AM.

Mask: "So you're saying I should carry chocolate chips wherever I go?
...
How do I do that without eating them all?"
Spoiler"This device?" Charger looked across at it with a distant smile. "Something of a project. I was given an electrical prank buzzer as a foal, and finding its charge too short for my purposes, built an electrical generator in order to re-power it. I found myself adding to it almost constantly after that, and carrying it around with me wherever I went. It can stun a pony at two hundred paces. By all means, take a look if you are interested, but don't expect any sort of coherent design."
It would also not, Charger calculated, be an entirely bad thing if the fragile and potentially explosive device was taken from the pony with a self-confessed history of lab accidents.
Yo.

I just finished reading Ah Ain't Got no Ack-Cent. This is one of those rare stories that I feel "could be an episode" - which in my opinion isn't just based on quality, but also on length and content. It's short enough that it could be reduced to a 20 minute episode, and it's based on something that young children would understand and find funny, while still being entertaining to adults.

SpoilerShe shakes her head and pulls away from the hug. "But you don't even have a cutie mark yet! That just makes it seem even worse." She plops back down onto her flank, sitting for a minute before tilting her head quizzically. "I can't imagine what would be worse than... Nothing! Nevermind!"Avatar by DirtyTabs in the Adopt-A-Pony thread.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
FFRP: Poking Ponies lol
SpoilerBeeskee looks confused, and rubs the back of his head with a hoof. He doesn't even *get* that there would be anything wrong with poking ponies in the flank. After all, ponies wear saddlebags there occasionally. Not that he's that young, it just doesn't occur to him. "I'll get a cutie mark soon, I'm sure. Maybe I'll get a funny saying to go with it. Pinkestia says some hilarious things!" He grins at the teal pony as she looks nervous. "You're silly."
(Edit: OOC: A pony's flank isn't their butt. On a human, it's about where your side pockets on your pants are.)Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-10-09 at 04:14 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
FFRP: Poking Ponies
Spoiler"You know, Pinklestia scares me a little bit." She sighs as she shakes her head, thinking about her last encounter with the strange Celestia copy. She couldn't even remember how that came about in the first place, even though it hadn't been all that long ago.
"Yeah, I guess I am a silly filly, huh?" She does her best to write it off out of sheer embarassment at her own reaction, mirroring his motion, her hoof raising to the back of her head and rubbing, tossing her mane out of the way. "So, your cutie mark... Any idea what you think it might be yet?"
How old is Beeskee anyways that he doesn't have is Cutie mark yet?
((I know. XP. I'm still trying to come up with a funny thing for her to say if you do end up poking her cutie mark, honestly.))Last edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-10-09 at 04:16 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
*whistles a tune, accompanies himself by drumming his fingers on his comic-drawing sketch pad*
"Multiple counts of Indecent Coverage"
Yes.
Neat! He's a hardy one, he is.
Lessee... Pony Tales version comes out pretty well ahead (2 points in attributes) and seems to accurately reflect a clockwork pony. I like the addition of a spell - it really drives home the strangeness of said construction. Animal husbandry had me for a minute, until I realized it reflects the "good with animals" from the other one XD
The RiM one is solid, and fabulous. I'm a little Jealous; I'd considered "Gerry rigging" for a skill but figured any version of it I'd write out would be over powered (I also considered "Mguivering" )
And for anypony else who is interested, I edited in the Rulebooks in the original post.

Not going to be doing any personal communique for a while, so don't want to accidentally mislead you. Just gauging when you're available for burning through threads via RP or discussion or such.
"Well, I wouldn't actually hit you... I really don't have it in me to hit anypony. But still!" She glances around nervously. "D-Don't want anypony to get the wrong idea that I'm violent or anything..."
Somepony could take that as a challenge...
I do, too. Wonder, if I were to write it out and do all the footwork, could I talk say, Inkwell or somepony into giving it a go? Hm.
After I pay for the taro. Cards, of course.
Hm. Somepony may have to investigate such interesting claims.
Nice.
Hm. Strength, a lady holding closed a lions mouth, the infinitythingy whose name I should remember floating above her head...
Very good pony version. I approve.
[art]
Spoiler
Wow, you guys went pretty far when I was doodlin'. Should have asked y'all politely to hold on a spell XD
Good stuff, mates.
Okay, good. I don't think you're a pervert. XD
We have Lix, Midnight, and Shimmer for that! :P
At least, not by any definition I know, which requires public acknowledgement of some variety.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
FFRP: Poking ponies Let's hope Fox News doesn't find out about this.
SpoilerBeeskee winks and giggles, "Careful, I think if somepony says her name three times, she appears."
He considers her question for a while, thinking. "You know, I'm really not sure. There's a lot of things I enjoy in life. I'd like it to be something that brings happiness to other ponies, but also something that is fairly unique and also useful to other ponies." He shrugs. "I guess I'll figure it out one of these days. I try not to let it bother me that I don't know yet." He takes a few moments to look back at his blank flank, giving the impression that it actually does frustrate him, somewhat.
"I Pinkie Pie Promised so I can't poke her now."
I'm not sure exactly how old he is. Based on canon, ponies seem to get their cutie marks at variable ages. Applejack made it sound like she was older when she got hers the first time it was mentioned, then the flashback made her look about the same age as the CMC. I don't know if that just to emphasize that she was younger, or if she really was only a tiny bit older than the CMC.
It's mostly based on the fact that I haven't yet figured out what my special talent is. Other than spamming and annoying ponies. And making accidental innuendo. What would a cutie mark for those things even look like?
I had this problem RL too, I never knew what I wanted to be growing up. I still don't know for certain. I'm good with computers, but so are a lot of people. Not exactly "special" there. Then again, with 6+ billion people, it's hard to feel unique.
Her saying could be something relating to her cutie mark or special talent, that still sounds silly? ... I'm squinting at your icon trying to figure out what your cutie mark is, but I can't make it out.
Cool art SiuiS

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Niiiice~
Two things of interest. Shouldn't be spoilers, but what they hay.
Spoilerin the first one, what does the x5 do on that particular training? I don't think there's much room in it for emphasis or specialization, given how light a system it is (or alternately, how broad special training is in application). Still, other than that, that's pretty cool. It's nice to see more examples; I went for "average across the board, but clever". It's good to know I didn't screw up the numbers XD
For the second one, I think the weakness could best be phrased as Absent-mindedness. That's my only quibble there.
The creativity of all y'all other ponies fascinates me. I begin to understand Thanqol's consideration of the playground as a resource.
Oops
Ah, you keep in contact off-thread? Vaguely jealous.
Beeskee: Jade has a cutiemark of two racing flags, I believe. Now I'm just congratulating Braz for a good sneakattackPoke, and waiting to see what her funny saying is ;D

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I still love it that this is considered slow in this thread.
"There's just so much to do~"
Not at all. However I acknowlege their proximity to the rear of their owners, and the fact that in real life people get rather touchy about that entire area, so I would assume that in terms of legality that touchyness would translate to Equestria. Or maybe they're just really really chill about all of that. Who knows? It is pretty much a utopia, you know?
In legitimacy I blame the ratio of female ponies to male ponies in the show. It's the exact opposite ratio of my college.
Ohh, how I love abusing letter of the law. Loopholes, my friend. Loopholes. State of New Hampshire doesn't differentiate between Swords and Knives, and you can carry a knife over 6 inches as long as 60% of the weapon is visible. Strange I know. However you're seeing where I'm going with this, right? I've never done this of course, I'm not stupid, but the fact that I can theoretically legally equip and wield a sword is awesome.
I can totally understand that. Still doesn't change the fact that I miss seeing her around constantly. You know, as soon as I posted this, like four posts later she posted! I'm glad to see she still at least stops in.
For some reason, my reaction to being called Jade wasn't one of "Oh, cool, somepony is recognizing my OC now", but more one of "...Huh. That feels right." I think I have a little bit of self searching to do.
Thanks. And I don't mean that sarcastically at all.
Definitely, I'll keep you posted if anything new develops! It would be awesome to have an interoffice D&D game on like fridays or something.
I've got a D&D-ifyed Applejack here if you want to check her out. Human Lasher. I know Rogue doesn't fit right off the bat, but that's more for mechanical viability than character. If anypony can come up with something better that's still mechanically viable let me know.
I'm usually not around during those times because nopony else seems to be here. But yeah, I'm at the computer all day at work, and generally the time spent working involves waiting for X install or Y user. So I have free time.
Yep. Completely doing this in the next session.
"Yay! I'm useful!"
Wow man, a little... into ponies?
In seriousness though, I'm inclined to agree. Humanized I do imagine her a little curvy and rounded out, but still... Well, yeah, for a lack of a better term gorgeous.
Need. To. Find. A. K-Mart. Yesterday.
Well I'd most likely have to take some liberties. All I know is I'm shooting for the same characters to end up in the same final spot so that I can introduce a humanized Midnight into my world. Because Midnight is best OC.
It had peanut butter in it!
It's a scary thought, isn't it?
I'll see if I can hunt down the story again someday. It was really adorable and I loved it.
Yay! I came up with a good idea! ^^
...Isn't this so fanon to be at the point of "might as well be canon" by now?
"Why, it's the clopping of course! Isn't it obvious?"[/quote]
Oh my gosh I need to see this again. AAGH. THIS THREAD BRINGS OUT ALL OF MY NOSTALGIA!
FFRP: Poking Ponies (Welcome to another RP SiuiS! )
SpoilerThe filly makes a cute, squeaking litte 'eep!' sound and jumps reflexively, turning in midair (somehow) to face the as of earlier unseen pony. "D-Don't you dare mister!" she manages to stammer out, that same characteristic purple hue returning to her muzzle.
How does right now sound? I'm playing Sword of the Stars, League of Legends, and posting in the thread all at once right now!
Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Somepony drew me! Thank you SiuiS! *Glomp*[/quote]
"Butbutbut... Shimmer's dating Midnight? Doesn't that make her perverted by association?"
XD
FFRP: Poking Ponies
Spoiler"Oh dear! Really? I hadn't heard that legend before! I'll remember that, I do not want to encounter her again. Where was she last seen anyways? Last I heard of her, Celestia had teleported her off... Somewhere." She sighed, recalling that little incident. It had also been the last time she had been in Canterlot.
"It's refreshing to see a colt who's willing to take things as they come. Although be completely honest with me, I can tell it's still getting on your nerves a little that it's still taking so long. It's alright. You wanna hear the story of how I got my cutie mark? It might make you feel better." She smiles warmly, returning her flank to the nice, warm, sunbaked little plot of grass.
Well, I'd assume it ranges in age over what would basically be the equivelant of human puberty. Applejack looks like a preteen in the show when she gets hers, whereas Fluttershy looks more to be about... 14 or 15 in human years?
Yes indeed, Jade's cutie mark is indeed a pair of checkered flags. She's a runner!Last edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-10-09 at 05:12 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Oh, I know. I just have two settings; stoic loner and needy insecure pack member. I talk about he exact same things, though probably less often.
So we had some conjecture that the CMC are, possible, in the 14-15 age.
So, a pony who doesn't have a cutie mark could, if a late bloomer, quite literally get their mark anywhere from 16-19 (though that last one is pretty scary I'm sure).
Hm. It's 03:00 here, and I work around noon, till midnight, so I has to get going.
Kris, could you give my Game System questions a once over? I'm still not sure where I want to take that, and figure you've got a perspective I don't.
You're also probably twice as lucid as me XD
EDIT: ok, if we're gonna have a conversation, I'll stick around
You'll have to adjust that one tag though; all those netted-quote responses will be murder to answer otherwise.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
I would personally argue the CMC are closer to 10-12 in human years, so I'd think the latest a pony would get their cutie mark is around 16. One or two late bloomers at maybe 17.
Oh no, if you have work tomorrow go to bed man! Don't stay up for me, I don't want you to be absolutely miserable when you have to go to work. Trust me, I've been there before. Ever pulled an all nighter before the second day of a new job? It sucks. X_XLast edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-10-09 at 05:16 AM.
