Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I should clarify that by "hot shipping" I wasn't necessarily talking about actual clopfics. Could be perfectly innocent "fade-to-black" implied stuff. It's not like we don't know what's happening after the fade to black, and having certain terms applied to the (adult) ponies involved can have rather unfortunate associations. Or maybe that's just me.
The only concrete example I can think of presently is "fillyfooler" which I think I saw used in some fic. It may have been Out in the Cold or one of its follow-ups, and it may have been used as an insult and thus possibly OK in that particular case (I can't remember the exact story or context), but "fillyfooler" would pretty much translate exactly to "pedophile". Even as an insult that would make me slightly wary, because it would be a particularly vile insult actually.
And that's just an example of a wider problem. Using filly/colt where you should technically use mare/stallion is no necessarily bad, but it shouldn't be done without thought and IMO only in special cases, not in general.
Also, it's just nice to use the proper terms. Sure, some artistic license is OK, but if you do it too much it loses its power.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
The trouble you're having is that filly/colt have been established, canonically, as gendered terms from young man and young woman. In the same way waitstaff call females who aren't married or obviously old 'miss' right alongside 12 year old girls, 'filly' applies broadly to all female ponies in universe, seemingly from cutecenera age up to as old as their teacher. The only established 'mares' are Granny Smith, Mayor Mare, and Mrs. cake. And that's only if we extend our knowledge; I don't think there have been many actual mares mentioned.
One of the system set-ups I've been reading says it best. Foal is from birth to cutie mark age. Colt/filly are from cutie mark age to full-on adulthood. When you look like big McIntosh, Mr. Cake, Mrs. Cake, old gardener dude (who is totally pony Gandalf) or Derpy's boss, that's mare & stallion.
The terms do what words are supposed to; you know what I'm talking about when I say them, because they are established and have inertia. If I describe a pony as a colt, you'll probably think of something entirely different than if I say stallion. For most fans, this is true. That's all I need.
It's also possible to separate foal from foal (as dumb as that sounds). One is an age group, the other is an insult based on a pun we human1 audience members would find funny. Kind of like how I don't see the Mild West being a big thing anymore, dropped once it was mentioned. 'you foal!' will show up, certainly, but wondering as to whether they mean "you are foolish like a baby which is what I call you!" or just "you are a fool!" isn't going to go very far. We know what they meant, and it doesn't carry any weight past that point.
I understand perfectly well how some words can get you; myself, I really really dislike people saying hologram when they mean fractal2. That's an entirely different case though, because it's not based on how an entirely new species of creature breaks itself down using words similar to how humans talk about horses.
Also, homophobic. Really? A word that means literally afraid of sameness, aye, I can understand how it could be extended to 'afraid of sexuality between the same gender', sure. But where by fire did 'actively oppresses and antagonizes based on sexuality between the same gender' come from? That doesn't even make any sense! ...Unless you follow it's history.
1: ... are they buying it?
2: ironically, I'm not entirely sure fractal ia the word I want. An object wherein any single part of the pattern is identical to the entire pattern, right?Last edited by SiuiS; 2011-10-17 at 05:36 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
See, that's the problem. While I'm usually able to figure out what the writer/speaker actually means, it's not always my first intuition and it does make me stop for a few seconds sometimes.
For example with the "fillyfooler", while now that I think about it it may have been almost ingenious in this particular story, it did make me stop and ask "did he really just call her a pedophile? That's just wrong, dude!". Of course I quickly figured "Nah, obviously he means lesbian and is just too big an oaf (the character, I think it was Blueblood II, not the author) to realize his mistake".
Just because it's become established does not mean it's a good idea. I'm not one of those people who insist language should stay fixed and never change, far from it, I love changes because it keeps things interesting, but that doesn't mean all changes are good either.
In the real world, "filly" and "colt" really do mean a child horse, not just a young horse. And because we have to use the real world as a base for comparison when we watch the show, that's going to be the first association many people will get.
That's part of the definition, at least.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
What did you found?
Avatar stuff:
SpoilerLiving planets that can coordinate their actions on a large scale work differently than Earth. Imagine every lifeform on Earth actively and continually attacking humanity with no regard to their own individual safety while ignoring standard predator/prey relations AND acting as coordinated military units. I mean, I know we have a lot of guns and bullets and etc, and 6+ billion people to use them, but still. It would be a close fight that could go either way. There were nowhere near that many people on Pandora, they lost that war before it started, by not understanding the nature of the world.
Also, they were retarded. They could have pulled up a giant trade ship with a sampling of everything Earth had to offer, and showed the contents of it to the Na'vi and said, "Pick whatever stuff you want us to bring, and we'll bring a full load of those things next time. Just mine us some plot-onium, using your own mining techniques. We won't interfere in your world at all, unless you want us to." Okay, maybe they would have wanted gold? Or maybe they would have wanted cheese-whiz. The humans didn't even bother to TRY. I know the movie said the Na'vi wouldn't be interested in trade goods, but there's bound to be something on Earth they would want. Fine silks, fun toys, something, ANYTHING, but the humans just saw "zomg lol savages we can pillage from" without understanding them, and didn't try.
Edit: There may have been more details in the screenplay or book, so maybe the humans did try to do something other than "raep teh planet" - and I know the movie itself was a metaphor for how we're interacting with our environment here on Earth. I'm just going based on the movie plot as given tho, with no supporting details. I even had to look up what 'unobtanium' was in the Avatar universe since it's never specified in the movie, I know it just meant some rare element for plot purposes, but apparently it's an FTL starship component. That still doesn't make what they did right.Spoiler1) Lifeforms on Earth attacking humans as one? We win. Humans, a handful of civilians with single-shot rifles cleansed America and Australia out of big life in decades. Stick a band of professional soldiers with 30 mm guns instead and it should be massacre. In some respects, the Avatar battle was stretching believability more than Ewoks. Now that I think about it...
The main problem with it, I guess, is that today, a handgun is more than enough to kill any animal. 30 mm cannon is enough to punch through battle tanks. Give handguns 100 years, and even shots from handguns should turn these big animals into paste, while cannons should outright turn them to mist. Simply, no flexible skin has the right to be tougher than tank armour. If it is, for some reason, why there is not a Pentagon Armour Design Committee on Pandora examining the hides, and why humans haven't adapted by bringing in anti-armor bullets designed for the task? It looked like someone entered godmode for animals, seriously.
Cameron had it right in his previous movie - Aliens, where a handful of marines laugh at a threat Xenomorphs supposedly are, then proceed to massacre every single one, despite Xenomorphs being more dangerous than Pandora animals by far, despite far worse terrain to fight on, and despite 50:1 numerical advantage the aliens have - and all this without mechas, gunships, rockets and autocannons.
2) Trade? I made the mistake of reading he storybook hoping it would make sense of some of the plot holes. Turns out, yes, company did try what you propose - brought all sorts of goods, knowledge, culture, everything. That's why Avatar project existed in the first place - company dumped billions of dollars into creation of better diplomats, opened language schools for Navi, they tried everything. Storybook makes Navi look like ignorant savages that ignored every single offer made, no matter how good, out of spite.
3) And, what was the final straw for me, in storybook Unobtainium is a component needed to create room-temperature superconductors, implications being its usage was needed to sustain Earth's ecosystem, by allowing to cut down pollution and decrease energy losses in failing infrastructure, allowing brighter future for the planet, instead of total collapse. It wasn't so expensive because it was vanity item, but because it was like selling medicine to terminal cancer patient. So, nope, I don't have any sympathy to aliens sitting on it and unwilling to trade, sorry, greater good and all that.Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I'd like to get in on this if you don't mind
Spoiler1) They do mention the toughness of the animals. Also I know some people theorize that we are reaching the point where weapons technology will simply stop advancing due to overkill. Why design a better gun when the current ones will pretty much always kill their opponents anyways? Besides that we wouldn't do as well as you think. Not that we wouldn't win due to having a numerical advantage and a tech advantage. Nearly every animal on Earth has the ability to do severe damage to a human. If they attacked us in an orginized manner entire cities would be wiped out. Perhaps even entire countries. After all its easy to wipe out animals when they only fight back on an individual basis
2) I haven't read the storybook but I imagine the Navi were just like
"Sure all this stuff is nice but we don't actually want any of it. We are in fact very happy with our lives."
3) In fairness the part that makes me facepalm on the human side are these two things:
a) "lets go through the costly and morally difficult process of forcing the natives off their land instead of just going to a different source of Unobtanium. I mean we only travled light years already a few more hundred kilometers is just too much effort."
b) "Hey the scientists whose sole job and expertise is studying the fauna of Pandora have made a new discovery! Lets dismiss them as tree hugging doped up hippies. Its not like they haven't done years of research as well as being some of the smartest people we have"
4) finally there weren't that many humans on Pandora. Only a few hundred at least. Dispite being outnumbered by nearly every Navi on the planet they not only won they came within spitting distance of killing the hive mind of the entire planet. If Unobtanium is a truely can't live without it resource then we'll be back. And in greater numbers!Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I believe you're taking it too literally, and thus missing out on stuff you'd find if you took the broader view. Specifically;
Filly means two things, not just one. "young + girl". So linguistic inertia, context, and all should show that fillyfooler is one who fools with, specifically, fillies, as opposed to children generically. the opposite term is coltcuddler, derogatory(ish? Depends on a lot) form of gay man. We have foal established as being young, filly as bein akin to 'young miss' and colt as akin to 'young sir'.
I suppose I should say here, to avoid future misunderstanding, that the terms as they are applied now make sense to me because they are just different, equine-y names for titles I already use and find in common usage. So there is that...
Just because it's become established does not mean it's a good idea. I'm not one of those people who insist language should stay fixed and never change, far from it, I love changes because it keeps things interesting, but that doesn't mean all changes are good either.ThanqolGrognard) which is fine, and I do believe you aren't just railing against 'them young folk with their loud music' or anything. It seems like you're turning it too far, and implying that my credibility is dampened by being on the opposite end of your view.
Sort of random, I know, but it's rare for me to both notice this, and be able to point out what causes my unease.
In the real world, "filly" and "colt" really do mean a child horse, not just a young horse. And because we have to use the real world as a base for comparison when we watch the show, that's going to be the first association many people will get.
That's just it, I think. As far as opinions go, we're both right. I was set to give up more real-world relativism than you, and as long as the words are internally consistent in their usage I'm fine; I actually prefer colt/filly being old teenagers/young adults, because I find that extending the term to children, after so much canonical work went into establishing otherwise, dilutes the terms and muddles their intended meaning.
At this point what I am arguing is your assumption that most people will make the same associations as you. I have found, through casual conversation more than research, mind, that your view is the minority one. So you lose out on the 'most folks won't get it' end because most folks do.
As a caveat, though, I have rose-tinted lenses of the fandom in general. The playground has been good to me, in ways no other site I've yet seen has. It may color my perceptions and I'm jut missing evidence to the contrary.
That's part of the definition, at least.
Consider yourself forewarned, then; I'm in the stages of 'process ideas into actual game material' and 'pluck up the courage to overcome stage-fright'. Me and ... Druid Droid, I believe, are currently battling here, to see which of us overcomes our shyness enough to actually start the work.
I think I'm losing because I've been talking about my progress... Hahaha.
Oh! And speaking of progress, you know what helps adventurers succeed? A PARTY!
ugh. That's going to be fun trying to suppress <<;

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I decided to catch up on SFDebris videos and was surprised to notice he's going to review this show on October 20. Now that'll be interesting.
On a side note, Windows Movie Maker (2.6, on Windows 7) hates me (and humanity in general, I suspect, it's like a proto-Skynet). My attempt to set an anime intro song to ponies fails when I try to save it as a movie ("Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location" and so on). Apparently this is common. Sigh. When I finally managed to make something, it won't save properly...

Ahem.
I thought I would reserve comment for when and if she succeeded. Which, as I frankly expected, she didn't... (Given that in order to do that, she would have had to (even subconciously) kill herself - I'm fairly certain that Midnight simply doesn't have that in her; which I frankly think is overall a good thing, since Murderously Evil Midnight would not be so humorous.)
Also, has everyone seen ED's current banner (as of time of this post)?

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I'm sorry but unless that was the contextual meaning I'm not willing to grant you that as a translation. Occam's razor gives us "girl fooler" which doesn't mean anything in English as far as I'm aware so its entirely up to the creator what it means. It an entirely added strech to give that sexual connotations in the first place, unless that's the contextual definiton.
Even taking fooler as "fools around *winkwink* with" you still are left with "girl" which is much broader then child as discussed. Strip clubs and porn sites advertise their hot girls who are over 18.
From the other end pedophile stops being valid long before girl does, implicitly referring to prepubescent children. Going on the basis of "girl" there are possible distinctions between infantophilia, pedophilia, hebephilia, and ephebophilia. The last of which becomes while possibly still creepy socially gets into modern legal adult ranges, and well covers ages that in different times/cultures are considered marriageable even to older partners with no particular stigma.
Put simply I feel you are enforcing your own definition that doesn't hold up to the established flexibility of terms.
I'd be very interested to see where this happened, as I think it should be entirely possible to have a hologram of a fractal pattern.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Spoiler*Midnight's eye twitches slightly. She seems to be doing that a lot recently!
"You....you wouldn't dare! You wouldn't embarrass me like that...w-would you?
Heehee, what can I say, it tickled my fancy.
Spoiler*Midnight goes scarlet, and stammers nervously. Her new succubus wings seem to be creeping up slightly.
"Cestya, I'm really flattered, and I won't lie and say that there haven't been certain...uhm..fantasies...but t-this really isn't appropriate, is it? I mean, even if I've had ones that have involved a paddle, and oh..I mean...oh, dear, just dig yourself further, Mids...."
Rarity's Night
SpoilerThere could have been inane chitchat. How are you, what fine weather we're having. How's the business going, how's your sister doing, and all of that meaningless small talk. All of the words that ponies used to fill the dead air, like they were afraid of hearing themselves think. But the air here wasn't dead, it was crackling with vivid life. This was a meeting of the hearts, and words had to be carefully selected.
So, too, could he have been critical. He had, of course, heard Rarity's stomach gurgle, had seen her magical falter with that wine glass, nearly causing it's contents to spill when it touched the ground. He supposed that Blueblood, or some of the more critical nobles that he had met in his brief times in court and castle, would have been positively scandalized by those things. But Midnight had learned from the two most noble creatures in all of Equestria, the two Princesses he was so fortunate to call his family. They never would do such a foalish thing. Do not sweat the small stuff. That was the way Celestia and Luna, the way the true nobles, acted. And so would he.
One who lived in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, after all.
He felt her hoof slip around him, and heard that sigh. His heart thrilled, and that pink on his cheeks returned. Even the meal right now was starting to feel meaningless, he wanted nothing more at the moment to push the table aside, and pull Rarity close to him, to share each others warmth, to feel her heart beating.
As he looked into her eyes, he began to realize that she was feeling the same thing. But, too, could he see that slight bit of doubt in Rarity's eyes, that the mare did not deserve such things. That would not do.
He leaned forwards, across the table, using his hoof to encourage her head to join him in turn. His lips met hers, and he favoured her with another kiss. But this wasn't the brief, tantalizing kiss from earlier, meant to intice. This was a deep, romantic kiss, firm but gentle, one that a pony felt straight down to their hooves if done correctly.
He was.
---
"Hi, Sweetie Belle." Spike said, stepping into the Botique, and hopped up on the couch when he was offered. He had to admit that Sweetie Belle had really come into her own growing up, nearly as beautiful as her sister. (Some would argue perhaps more beautiful, but Spike would never be one of them!) "I finally got free from Twilight and Trixie, so I came to give Midnight a hand so she could get out sooner rather than later."
That sounded reasonable. A 'brother' concerned for his 'sister', wanting to help her out. In many ways it was indeed the truth, but not the whole truth. He had no doubt that Belle knew the true reason as well, but he just couldn't bring himself to admit it. Maybe he really was a bit of a fool.
"Did they go out to dinner or something?" He continued, only to be distracted by Sweetie Belle's comment. He blinked, his eyes finding the gorgeous flowers on the table, placed so carefully and reverently on the table. His head tilted. They looked almost familiar, Spike could swear that he had seen them before. But where? They were so strange, but then....
Momma! Spike! Look at the flowers I made!
"S-She got them from Midnight...Those are her special flowers..." Spike said as soon as that memory flowed through his mind. He felt a chill down his spine. No, surely not, what a silly thing to think, Midnight wouldn't...
But, then, why were they so carefully arranged, in such a beautiful vase? It was hardly the actions of an Aunt, more like...
"W-Why is Midnight giving Rarity flowers?"
That is because WMM is, in fact, Satan itself. WMM is the truest evil in this world, and you should never use it, unless you absolutely feel like banging your head against your computer monitor in frustration. It is hate, in editing program form.
I...may have some bad blood towards it.
*Midnight grins, fluttering her new succubus wings. All four of them.
"This is true! Nopony wants me to go nutty like that, bad things would probably happen. Like, I might actually end up taking over your command! But instead, I got these. These are pretty fun! As is the tail!"
I knew it was only a matter of time.Last edited by EsperDerek; 2011-10-17 at 08:38 AM.

Huh. You know, I meant to play that game forever ago, but never got around to it. I'll check it out.
SpoilerAs in... Hm. How to describe. It just reminded me of a fanfic is all. Nothing bad per-se, it was just crazy, and felt like something a Brony might come up with. I don't know, I can't think of how to describe better.
"Midnight, Nooooooooooooo! We've lost her!"
That's a completely different universe at this point. Continuities between thread Equestria and Rarity's Night Equestria have exploded.
I always called it "TwiMac".
Nope. Mule is the sexless version of a horse. A pony is a subspecies of horse that generally come to about half the size of a full grown. (1/3 the size of a draft horse.)
I am so totally stealing that word. Adorasexy. I like it.
And I am very inclined to agree. o///o

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Oh yes, I'm starting to realize that. It lured me by being easy to use and edit clips in (once I managed to convert the files correctly, but that's got nothing to do with the WMM itself), but now I just feel trolled. Is there any way of... recording the video while I play it (in the WMM) or something? Otherwise I'm out of ideas.
I've tried to save it to both several folders and the desktop itself. No success so far.
Yes.Last edited by Athaniar; 2011-10-17 at 08:56 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Episode 3 discussion:
Spoiler"Pandering"? or do you mean that there was a tone shift into something more adult-oriented? I think that that has to do more with the dropped E/I status than anything else; the show would've been like this from the start if they hadn't had to work around those constraints, whether that's a good thing or not.Last edited by Kindablue; 2011-10-17 at 09:10 AM.
... I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Only two? Ponythread is slipping.
That's what I said.
No you didn't you said "ponies"
Shut Up!
You appear to be correct but this gets into how holograms are made and rapidly makes my head hurt. And fractals are everywhere but its not something I'd expect to be casually brought up.
So Yeah, them ponies!

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Rarity's Night
SpoilerIf her mind had been completely there, she would be kicking herself for her foalish slips ups. There was nothing graceful that she was exuding right now. No, she was being just as clumsy and oafish as Rainbow Dash could be. The doubt she felt now began to intermingle with nervousness, and a sense of failure. She sucked the night's cold air into her lungs, straightening herself nearly imperceptibly, steeling herself to bring back that swagger and grace she knew she needed. She could not be off her game tonight, she thought to herself.
She didn't even notice herself being pulled in, closer and closer, farther across the table.
Their lips met. Her entire being seemed to erupt into fireworks at his touch. Everything melted away. The same magic, the same spark from before, but s much stronger. So much more tantalizing. Her hoof raised to his shoulder, resting gently over it as she pressed her lips to his, her head tilting slightly, her eyes fluttering closed. Doubt dissolved. Worry transformed under its power into confidence and unabashed joy.
There was nothing that she could ever do to make this Prince before her think differently of her. It was as if more than just bodies touched. Something so intimate, something so powerful that mere words could not describe the grandeur of this single solitary moment.
After what seemed as though a blissful eternity, their lips finally parted, a coy smile upon her lips. The food below them was slowly going cold, and she could not care less.
"Prince..." She cooed, pausing for a moment to select the perfect words. "You have swept this fair lady clean off of her hooves." Barely a whisper, their faces nary an inch apart. Her hoof slid down his shoulder and foreleg, eventually coming to rest upon his own. "If only Luna could hold the night... If only this moment could last into eternity."
---
Sweetie Bell chuckled softly to herself at Spike's supposed reason for stopping by. Sure, she knew that he meant that on a level, but she knew for a fact that he had come to fawn over Rarity just a bit more. Her head shook as she glanced back to the still relatively tiny dragon from the vase, her expression quickly turning quizzical at the look of relative horror washing over his face.
"Um... Spike? Are you doing alright?" Something about special flowers. That didn't really make sense to her. Sure, they were gorgeous, but they didn't really seem to warrant that reaction. Spike didn't know what she knew though. If those really had come from Midnight, then that pretty much confirmed what she'd figured when she'd seen Midnight's stallion lookalike trotting down the walk in the height of fashion.
Wait. Rarity had said she had a date with a Prince tonight. Could Midnight's magic even do that? And what about his relation... and her relation... And... oh Celestia. That wasn't just a lookalike. That was actually Midnight!
And poor Spike. By only what he had seen he was really only being paranoid; even if he was most likely right in his conclusion. She may have enjoyed getting on his nerves every once in a while, but she couldn't let him go through what he was about to. She had to think fast.
"Well, Midnight was here earlier. I'm not sure what the two were doing... But maybe Midnight gave them to Rarity for inspiration for a dress?" She didn't sound that convinced herself, but she flashed him a soft smile, glancing around the room for anything that could match those colors that she could point to as evidence.
There, plain as day was Midnight's gala dress, absolutely destroyed. She could almost feel the relief wash over her. "Yeah, probably. Probably working on her dress." She motioned to it with a hoof. "You know Rarity. Always wants to improve on perfection."
Spike didn't need to know what was probably going on somewhere in Ponyville tonight. She couldn't bear to see how he would react if he caught wind. Regardless of how unlikely the two were to ever get together, Spikes feelings were not faked. Quite the contrary in fact. It would completely break his heart to know that his own sister swiped the object of his affections right out from under his nose.
She quietly resolved to figure out just what in the hay was going on for herself once Spike had been tended to though. Something just wasn't right; the obvious couldn't be the truth.
"Just what's so special about the flowers Spike?"
