My Little Pony XXXIX: There is no Pegasus Mafia!

Lixie I imagine would be the last person to actually kill me since I just spend my whole life assuming the Lix' is behind me with a knife.

So...you spend all day constantly spinning in circles?

Mirrors, keeping enough distance from the car behind me.

Lixie I imagine would be the last person to actually kill me since I just spend my whole life assuming the Lix' is behind me with a knife.

Knife? Eww. If I were gonna kill you, I'd either use a hammer or a sword. Maybe axe, scythe, or whip, but rarely if ever knife. Knives are boring.

Surprised this got so little attention, I thought there were a few fans around here. Thanks for the link, it was a good laugh.

Always happy to introduce somepony else to the series, it's probably my duty as element of YouTube to link that kind of thing. I'm sure any major fans have Sherclop's channel subscribed and got notified without my assistance though. Plus it wasn't the best episode. Luna seemed off, which is either a letdown or, considering the character as she's portrayed, some sort of brilliant meta-level humor (you can never be sure with this series).

Also, I only noticed on my second viewing that Rarity shows up in the scene starting at 3:50, but wearing her invisibility scarf.

I assume she's in the middle of the slow, deliberate process of killing us with kindness. Kindness and shipping, the most adorable forms of murder.

Oh, I was already familiar with it, I'm just not familiar with their update schedule (assuming there is one). And I honestly found Luna funny, but Fluttershy and her portal where easily the highlight.

Also, I only noticed on my second viewing that Rarity shows up in the scene starting at 3:50, but wearing her invisibility scarf.

I noticed the first time (although I had to go back to dubble check, as I first thought they were introducing an actual ghost).

Never thought much of it, Strife showed it to me one day and I never even really stopped to think wow I'm watching and enjoying My Little Pony. By the time I had stopped to think about i had already watched season one, was waiting eagerly for season two, and writing a fanfic. I did really enjoy the show at first and if people stopped instantly associating My Little Pony as a girl's only thing and didn't think damn, I watching My little Pony from the second the show started many more people would most likely enjoy the show a lot more.

I don't think there is a regular update schedule, I just logged onto youtube earlier today and it popped up.

Well, I thought Zecora was the highlight. I'm just not exactly sure what the point of Fluttershy's portal was. I'll admit that it was established by the previous episode's scene where she was concerned by it, but I don't think it contributed a lot to this episode. I guess this is one of those "agree to disagree" situations.

Furthermore, Dash would be avoidable with finesse and AJ is easy to read. If anypony would play enforcer, it's forceful and unpredictable Pinkie.

Episode 6 of Friendship is Witchcraft is up!

My day just got 20% less productive!

I liked this one, which was a nice change given how I've thought that the previous ones in the series were incomprehensible networks of in-jokes.

Random unrelated thought:

So, Derpy Day, Operation Indiscriminate Friendship is... a "Thanq's giving" Day?

I held off on my opinion until watching a complete episode, after which: "Wow this is so ridiculously cheezy. Must watch more."

Thought it was lame right up until Rainbow Dash appeared on screen. Then it became fantastic.

I remember specifically wondering why the hay I was still awake at three in the morning, watching ponies of all things. I mean, was this really worth staying up for? Was sleep such a distasteful alternative to this nonsense? Could I really not think of any better use of my time?

Hint: The answer was oh dear goodness YES.

From there, curiosity did the rest. I had seen the first half of the pilot, if I didn't watch the second half, I'd spend my whole life wondering how it ended. Well, that wasn't much better than the first episode. Although...I hear the next ones are slice-of-life. I bet that's much different then the pilot. Maybe just one more. Well that was full of girly nonsense, but at least I could stomach it. The humor wasn't half bad. I hear one of the next ones has a dragon in it...

My first reactions about watching ponies? I thought well that was good but I don't see how that warranted such a massive fan base. Kept watching season 1 and then the ponysanity set in.

[Mewtarthio]

Related to reactions: What did ponythread think after watching their first bit of ponies?

I'll admit: I actually rolled my eyes and left after the storybook about the magical unicorn princess and the Elements of Harmony. It was two months before I noticed that ponies were still popular and decided to give it a fair shot.

Actually, that's a lie. I didn't give it a fair shot at all. I walked in covered in a thick shell of cynicism, fully convinced I was merely satisfying some sort of morbid curiosity. A few days later, I'd watched all the episodes back-to-back (it was around "Winter Wrap-Up" or so) and was forced to accept that what I'd been telling myself was "ironic" enjoyment of the show was, in fact, actual enjoyment of the show.

It looks like an original work from an artist named "minazuki (karashikazoku)" on Pixiv, a japanese version of DeviantArt. Sadly, the source link seems to be broken (or requires you to log into Pixiv to work) and so isn't very helpful.

"Oh hey, it's that pony show I keep hearing about. It'll probably be another lousy Powerpuff Girls 'Rawr girls are tough no seriously take girls seriously I mean really we're serious' show and- oh. Hey. That color selection ain't half bad. Yup, I could get used to this. Real easy on the eyes."

Edit: And, additionally, initial first impression on ponies.
Twilight Sparkle- Ugh, know-it-all main character. I hope the rest of the cast is going to be better.
Rainbow Dash- A character dedicated to being a showoff that everyone likes. Kinda annoying.
Pinkie Pie- Great, a stereotypical bright pink "I'm a girl and I am random!" character. This one's going to get real annoying real fast, unless she does something genuinely silly like becoming the self-aware, self-referential character.
Rarity- Hooray, someone who wines about getting her hair cut. Wait, she's an artist? Huh. Let's see where this goes.
Applejack- I have enough simple farmfolk in my real world, thank you.
Fluttershy- Huh. You know. I could relate to this character.

The Meetup, Written by TheAmishPirate, illustrated and photographed by Capt. Ido Nos


Epcot. Now with 20% more Evil Enchantresses.

After several hours of harrowing plane flights, car rides, and vans, the both of us arrived at Disney World, Florida. Not content to let something like this wait, we both agreed to set out from our hotels posthaste, and let our preordained meetup commence!

That dazzling gentleman with the stylish fro is the Amishman. The goofball in the hat is a Captain of some sort.

And then crowds had to go and ruin everything. Gotta say, it was hilarious to watch people wonder aloud why nopony was moving when a fireworks spectacular was going down right behind them.

But we couldn’t spend all day punching/dragon kicking our way through the masses, there were things to do! Rides to ride! Streets to mosey! Creepy characters in costumes to flee from!

THE HORROR.

We quickly discovered the Buzz Lightyear ride was best ride. You ride on a cart that you can spin around, and shoot targets as you go through this large shooting gallery. Targets are worth variable amounts of points, and whoever gets more points gets to leave the ride!

We had a little trouble at first...

What is this I don't even

But we soon got the hang of it, and soon developed a friendly competition...

Friendship!

After enough rides, we finally got into the groove of things.

It's like we're not even trying! Or cheating. That could be true too.

It was a piece of cake after that...

But, my dear ponythread, we did more than ride a single ride twenty-one times. We did more than raid the Japan gift shop like a pair of banditos. We did far more than amble about aimlessly for a greater part of the day. we also got a chance to meet none other than the great Soarin!

Heck yeah!

...it wasn’t quite what we expected.

What...hang gliders..?

But then we found some hats. Fancy hats make everything better.

It was a week to remember, but all too soon, it came to an end. The mighty oceans paled in comparison to the manly tears that were shed at our parting. It truly was such sweet sorrow.


Oh, and then we remembered we were accidentally brothers the whole time. The fact that we shared a hotel room really should’ve tipped us off.

Okay I kinda suspected OC. I'm not up on anime as I used to be but I like to think I still absorb things that would interest me so I would have recognized it. Artist definitely likes some Nanoha though.

Oh right on topic... umm.... well.... well liking Nanoha is relevant since its she would fight right in with Equestria. A remarkable mature and well written girl is Nanoha. And scary, very scary. ooh I'm drifting again wait I've got it... Nanoha could vanquish an Ursa Major I might write a fic about that! Yeah totally relevant now, I win.

Have you ever stepped back and plotted (can I get the laughing Celestia icon here) a day's ponythread?

Murder, birthdays, elder god ponies, the moment you went insane, anime girls with improbable weapons. But then nobody wanted to argue with or agree with my assessment of Pinkie as a third-line enforcer. Must not be many hockey fans.

Classy Fluttershy approves of this pun.

The best part of either is that even the opening, which is probably only exceeded by the extended opening in being even close to typically girly kids show, manages to convert about 1.5 people out of 10(?) on Teen React. Okay and the dead pan from the Maniliest Brony about his manliness.
