Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
What? No
Just
Just no
This is the first time since I was twelve, that I've read the word "herpes" and didn't freak out because I've had chickenpox and now a tiny virus parasite has fastened itself into my nervous system and maybe this time the shower will be hot enough I dont even need all this skin or maybe if I drink the rubbing alcohol fast enough I won't Go completely blind and oh Luna why is my skin itching is it the shingles AAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH
*pants*
Don't take this false sense of security away from me
Thank you.
Hi phoe! It's nice to see you again.
Most of everything has already been covered, so I'll just commiserate. I feel your pain; watching any slice of this particular both hold itself above petty squabbles, and yet squabble pettily, makes me sad.
*snerk* you're a dork, Braz.
XD
I'd forgotten about that! Go kpenguin!
It is a fascinating study in the road to hell, isn't it? Best intentions and all that. There has been one single, almost unanimous request from thefandom since before I even knew my little ponies had a new show.
Hasbro, show accurate toys? Can we please has?
And nothing. They are inching along, but it's like the gambler's dilemma. They have so much invested in their wickedly wrong g3.5 stuff that they can just let it go.
Why is Princess Celestia both pink and as small as Sweetie Belle? I blame Dame Sparkle, and we'll find out in the fifth season when she finally dabbles in Zecora's witchcraft :3
And suddenly, the flaw in our plan becomes apparent. Can we really ignore something that's cannon on the wiki?
It's a wiki.
It has all the legitimacy of the POTUS trying to declare catholic doctrine.
And that's where you're wrong.
I know, I know. Bleakbane being right is a universal constant! Like inkwell being awesome. It's a matter of application.
See, if I live in an apartment and I ask my landlord to fix my broken air conditioner, and said landlord buys me a new car, cuts my rent, hooks up free cable and sends me a basket of muffins, I'm still going to be upset that he hasn't touched the air conditioner.
Hasbro has been great. They have been awesome. That does earn them a lot of slack. But whether that slack makes up for ignoring the one single thing they have ever been asked by the fandom is up to each individual fan. We have asked, singularly and as a group, for show accurate toys. We have run polls, we have sent them studies documenting support, and we have asked every member of their company we can get ahold of about show accurate toys.
They have nodded at us, given us Derpy Hooves, acknowledged DJ PON-3, given us a snazzier version of an admittedly horrible pop song, adjusted their viewing schedule to tangentially make it easier to watch their show, and allowed fan merch to flow without hindrance. They have also studiously ignored show accurate toys.
Oddly enough, you're arguing the moral stance, and mine is amoral. I find that intriguing. Must be your token sanity with a dash of class.
Quite the contrary, we welcome your venting. If it has to be done, better with friends around, aye?
I think a lot of folks miss that thing I keep quoting.

I have returned from the mystical land of [insert name of Canada here], rife with [adventure/heartbreak/mad dance moves] and [swag/swag/swag]!
And dear goodness you ponies made all the pages. I suppose this settles my fears about thread slowdown somewhat. Seeing how it's late and I'm tired, I'll have to trawl through the past 15+ pages I missed and pick out relevant nonsense. Or just enjoy ya'lls company.

Alright. I'm at that stage of sleepy and dehydrated where my brain stops working properly.
Time to work on my Mage character.
Roleplaying is Magic postponed for a combination of too many work hours with surprise inspections, poor time management, and they changed the PDF format on me. But it's still percolating, slowly.Last edited by SiuiS; 2011-11-03 at 01:17 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Phoe and Thanqol, you're both getting the blame for inspiring this...
*clears throat*
To the tune of "She's always a woman", by Billy Joel.
With her minty green coat, and the gold of her eyes
That she's won our Phoe over should be of no surprise
Forever a favourite on Equestria Daily
She thinks that she's human, but she's always a filly to me.
Watch her bounce on the clouds, 'cause no one told her it's wrong
And keep an eye on the background, she'll pop up before long
With that cheeky-flank grin that we're longing to see
She'll act like she's human, but she's always a filly to me.
Ohhh... she's a mare of music
She will sit how she wants, just wants some air-time
Ohhh... and she'll ever be 'shipped
With her waifu Bon-Bon (though Phoe doesn't mind)
It's that goofy expression, and the cutie mark'd lyre
If she would play us a song it'll set hearts a-fire
And though her musical talent we're still waiting to see
Call her what you will, but she'll always be Lyra to me!
Confound this ponythread, it drives me to filk.

Hi Phoe! *waves*
I'll be staying mostly clear of this discussion, but for the purposes of my own headcannon I'll adopt Heartstrings as Lyra's surname. Berry I'm passing off as a unicorn doppleganger/cousin, don't mind Blues' new name. Carrot Top ... yeah I'm still working that one out.
I ... think it needs some more work before we can implement this as a sales pitch
Yay! Percolate it, brother!

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Heh, sorry... I guess I'm just not used to people being inspired by my off
handhoof online comments. It tends to happen very infrequently, so twice in two days? Shock to the system. Besides, 'twas soley in jest, hence the "" - anything I post with a isn't meant to be taken seriously.
P.S. I also challenged you to sign up, raise money, and grow a moustache for Movember, because I figured if anypony was up to the challenge, it was you. Seriously, what with Operation: Indiscriminate Friendship and learning to draw and all the other neat stuff you come up with (like this), I'm beginning wonder if you're some kind of internet super-brony.
Awesome. I can't wait to watch it.
... oh, great, now it's on Equestria Daily.
Thanqol, why do you have to be so awesome?

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Even if I didn't before, I would have agreed with this, just on the basis that someone else knows what "cognomen" means...
Come now, Phoe, leaving aside the fact that as a denizen of ponythread and thereby earning a fraction of my respect and thus being held to my ludicrously high standards, your exalted position as near-demi-goddess of ED means that of course you should be completely unreasonably expected to act like Princess Celestia, i.e. utterly without reproach and to an unobtainable standard of perfection...
If only because the thought of making your eye twitch is of great personal amusement to me (because, y'know, Evil...)
(Note lack of "to be uncharacteristically serious" in prior post. You said in your own words you were overreacting... What, you didn't think I'd miss a chance to attempt to wind you up, Phoe, surely, after giving me such a tempting target...? You have been away from ponythread too much haven't you...?)
I do love being able to take the moral high ground while still managing to do so in an Evil way (though, in this case, that maybe a slight tad of an exaggeration, but I'll leave it to Phoe to beat you over the head with the nearest heavy Lyra-shaped object).
Lichemaster, it's nowhere near that bad! (Well, not here anyway. Here, it's mostly me being characteristically Trollestia-y, with the ponies seeming to take me at face value, silly ponies...)Last edited by Aotrs Commander; 2011-11-03 at 04:51 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Thanks. Another night ruined, my job here is done
Good point. Going to need him to talk more than usual in this story, but I'll try to use as few and as short sentences as possible.
I don't mind the names. We all knew they'd probably give them different names if they ever gave them names at all, and until they're named in the show I won't consider any of this canon. For all we know the people behind the show had nothing to do with this and probably didn't even know.
I mean, look at that art... if the people behind the show had anything to do with this, we wouldn't be looking at Twilight and her friends cosplaying as Lyra and her friends. That, unlike the names, makes me want to come out from under the bridge. Seriously... one would think they could get a vector of Lyra and any other background ponies, without any additional work, by calling up the people doing the show and saying "Hey there, could you just pass along that vector in a mail, pretty please?". Instead they apparently paid someone to make a new, crappy piece of recoloring. That makes NO SENSE!
That said, back to the names. I do like Lyra Heartstrings, best of both worlds, because Heartstrings is actually a pretty pretty name, but of course she'll always be our Lyra.
Never heard of this Blues pony before - and here I thought I knew all the popular background ponies - but Noteworthy is a pretty cool name. Blues Noteworthy even better.
Berryshine or Berry Punch... eh, same difference to me.
Only one I don't like is Golden Harvest. I think I'll stick with Carrot Top, at least until she's named in the actual show.
I always figured there's this prophecy thing going on. When a pony is born they're given a name based on their future, as foretold by some pony seer or something.
How in Equestria anypony could ever have trouble finding their cutie mark, if that's the case, is beyond me however.
Welcome, welcome, welcome!
You know what this calls for? A PARTY!!!
That's... I lack words for this kind of thingLast edited by Deadly; 2011-11-03 at 05:11 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Meh, I'll just wave fanon discontinuity on all those "named" ponies. (Noteworthy sounds like a good name though.)
Or just assume that Lyra is a clone of Heartstrings and therefore not in any way related. The better clone obviously. (You can even argue Heartstrings is the one Twilight met in the first episode and Lyra is the one we see all day in Ponyville.)

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Oh, somepony wants Lyra looking at them?
Spoiler
BAM! DOUBLE STARE ATTACK!
I'm quoting the lich but the reply is more intended toward the thread.
I figured it was for legal reasons, or that Hasbro is making new ponies which look similar to background ponies. Either way, they can call them whatever they like, that is cool. If a particular fan doesn't like the name, it is their choice to ignore it and call the pony whatever they would like instead.
We don't have to use the given names, either from the toy packaging or from the fanon, OR from the show even. There's no reason someone can't call Twilight Sparkle "Ms. Magicy" if they feel like it.
Howdy, and welcome. Also, please ignore the current stuff going on about the toys. Normally folks here are a biiit more relaxed. Though, overall, everyone is taking things better than might be expected.
Oddly enough I did not have nightmares or anything. And they are great stories.Last edited by Beeskee; 2011-11-03 at 05:20 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Personally, I would hardly consider the labels on the toys to be canon in the context of the show. The teams behind the toyline and the show are very segregated, if memory serves. The show team just gets a few calls now and then to be told to include X as something that is being made as a toy.
Toy packages can be mislabeled. The bios on toy packages can be terribly inaccurate . The toys themselves are often not accurate to the show. Characters made as toys may never exist in the show and show characters may never become toys. Characters existing in both might have additional accessories or an entire different appearance when it comes to toy-making.
There's a Pinkie Pie toy car. Does this mean that Pinkie Pie has a car within show canon? Not likely... though a Pinkiemobile might be full of hilarity.
Further...
I believe in audience interpretation. I believe that the interaction between the audience and a work is important in creating a work just as the interaction between creator and their work.
However, I also believe that what occurs in the work is what is established in the work. If a background pony is called a name in show, then I accept that that is that pony's name. If a pony is given a characterization in show, then I accept that is that pony's characterization. Within the show. In the context of the show. And what is established in show should be what should be used to discuss the show itself.
Does this mean that the previously created fanon names and personalities are discarded?
Its always been my belief that the background ponies as perceived as fanon were essentially original characters. They share the appearance of ponies in the show, but precious little else. What makes that character an actual character beyond a bit of hoofed scenery is entirely original creation beyond a few cues. Therefore, the pony that appears on the show and the pony that appears in fanon are almost entirely separate.
And if what is fanon and what is show is separate, then what occurs in show cannot overwrite the fanon character. For the sea-green pony in the show might look like Lyra of fanon, but she is not. And how she acts, what she is named, who she is, has no bearing on the Lyra of fanon save for some inspiration because she is an entirely seperate character existing in an entirely separate work.
---
Also, while you guys are mostly calm and polite, apparently the pony community at large is not about this. I'd like to make the simple black text suggestion that your admirable ability to ferment hate and anger at each over this issue continues to be exercised, lest I need break out the red text and make more than a simple suggestion.
---
On an entirely different note. Whenever Fighting is Magic is released, would anyone be interested in a GitPony tournament of the game? Preferably, soon after release date so that none of us have much time to practice and we're all relatively the same levels of incompetence.Visit the Chocolate Hammer IRC channel!

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Yes. Dear Celestia yes. That would be amazing. But I warn you, the second it comes out I will drop everything but Fighting is Magic. (My incompetence with fighting games, on the other hand, will even out the results.) Still haven't decided my character though. I'll probably be Rarity.

Oh, and I've decided on an artist name for the pony community. How does 2clop Fappur sound?
No, I'm not up at 3:50 in the morning posting ponies. That would be obsessive!Last edited by Gaelbert; 2011-11-03 at 05:57 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
I do have to say, what I've seen of Twilight's moves looks impressive. She looks like a teleportation and zone control character. Applejack seems to be a
"in-your-face" brawler type character. Any speculation on the other ponies' styles and movesets? I haven't seen enough of Pinkie to judge, and we haven't seen any of the others at all.

Re: My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!
Damn
Why must one happen before the other? Maybe the future of Equestria already exists, so from the beginning of the universe both a pony's name and personality exists and neither truly comes first
This by the way does not necessarily mean the universe is deterministic. Perhaps there's something like the multiverse theory going on, so all possible futures already exist and ponies just cruise through the possibilities.
