Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
In response to those above, image manipulation is a particularly insidious means of trolling. You can make anybody say anything.
Personally, I think the best defense against this kind of trolling is to try and find out where the pictures came from.
And also remembering that Lauren Faust is no longer working on the show, and therefore has no idea what Season 3 will contain.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
My favorites come from "philsterman01", or is "philsterman10" I forget which, he's done covers for most of the songs and he does decent voices. I prefer them over the simple pitch editing most people do.
Because the clothing is more provocative?
On image editing, I had one more in mind and it would have been a doozy. But I would like to keep Boffinspark's reputation wherever it currently it is.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
We covered this a long time ago, if memory serves. It's basically that, if ponies consider no-clothes to be the norm, then they're used to not having anything left to the imagination. Wearing clothes adds some sort of layer of mystery, lets the imagination fill in the gaps, and that's about all I think I can type without feeling like I need to take a shower.
So instead, I will destroy all ya'lls pancreases with DJ Fluttershy:

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
This is why you read ponythread silly! We covered this twice.
Plus, Lauren Faust has absolutely no creative control over the show anymore. She stopped knowing stuff half way through season 2, why would she know appleJack about season 3?
Hmmm. Well, Jayden is a griffon...
But I think Thislte woul never forgive me if I ruined that friendship for her.
Yeah, bu that doesn't change my point.
"Maybe the abyss is a naturally occurring phenomenon?" "Nah, it's the abyss."
"dude, have cannibal zombie shapeshifters always existed?" "Nah, it's the abyss."
"Maybe we shoul Ty to explore the abyss and learn about it?" "Nah, it's the abyss."
"We could harness te abyss for power!" "Nah, it's the abyss."
The rules of engagement are different per manifestation. The rule is that every action of the abyss is an exception. That's kind if the point. You can think you've for a handle on it, but that's deceptively soothing. It's a place, and a contaminat, and a thought process, and a meta level construct, and a void. And none of the above, possibly. Or multiple at once. It's whatever will screw you over most.
Second, unnatural comes with two connotations. One is "artificial" and the other is "wrong." You have to differentiate them. When people say that undead are unnatural but don't take a position as to other artificially created things, they're not being hypocritical, they're using the word unnatural to mean "wrong." Why undead would be considered wrong varies. You could go really deep and suggest that the use of negative energy increases chaos in the universe in some generalized way that is bad, or you could just point out that many undead are soulless killing machines and all the sentient ones have a definite bent towards capital E Evil.
It looks to me like Philomena hits the bowl and, being in a weird low-mass zero gravity Tk thing, it rotates along an inferred axis when hit with force of bird escape.
Of course it's a naturally occurring phenomena. Mages derp'd so hard it became a thing that was always there. but that doesn't mean it's natural to those outside the slavechains of causality. The whole point is to perfect te world, to tear away the false and leave only the true. When rewriting reality is not only a game goal but also something your kin has been doing possibly since before reality as we know it exists... Who is to say? Once the world was flat until someone magicked up something to discover.
Edit - It always comes back to shipping, eventually.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I don't usually link TVtroptes, but...well, this says it all.
Oh hey, it's a picture of my mage character ponified.
This is only true until you do something to it. I mean, yes, the ST can just be like "It's the abyss, you lose," but a ST can do that at any time for anything and in any game. Your D&D DM could just as easily say "Oh, actually that was an advanced Marilith with an extra 56 HD, your charge didn't even scratch it." But the Mage setting has various things that work on metaphorical/metaphysical levels and might interact successfully with the abyss. Sympathetic connections, the existence of the supernal, mana, the soul, the Temenos and the Dreamtime. These are things that exist within the setting, and a mage or mages of adequate power can manipulate them in a large variety of ways. If the ST just says "nope, abyss, you're screwed" in response to every single thing, it's boring and it shouldn't work that way.
I think we're doing two different things here. I was recording things as they were. That is, I felt that part of the discussion was not acknowledging that the word "unnatural" is used for more than one meaning and I wanted to point that out so people wouldn't start getting confused. You appear to be trying to change the language, to which I say: good luck.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I think Pinkie is the best one to be asexual. It works well with her personality as sompony who just wants everypony to be happy.
I have over a hundred saves done so far. At a count it's about 180 combat saves and 90 Geoscape saves.
Lovely pictures as always. Though the Trixie vs Discord is something special. I love how Trixie pulled off a clear win.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 LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Headcanon time!
So a couple threads back, there was a small discussion about the royal "we." It was mentioned it (might have) meant that the king and God were acting as one, because divine right and all that.
Well, it occurred to me afterwards that its origins in Equestria were probably similar, maybe even more obvious. It meant that when one of the sisters spoke, she spoke for both of them.
It also occurred to me just now, that meaning might also be why Celestia stopped using it. It just served to remind ponies of Nightmare Moon at first, and then later ponies forgot that there were two princesses at all.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Oh yeah, gotta catch up on that game.

I'm just trying toget folks to apply critical thinking to their casual broad and sweeping universe defining statements. I get the same level of nit-picky about 'eldritch abominations' because the term is tosse about so casually, most o te things involved are neither eldritch, or abominations. They are easily classified hyper dimensional jackasses.
But what about Braeburn?

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Just go and read some Terry Pratchett while cutting some onions, jeez.
I've never played oChangeling, but I imagine it's something like that.
The Abyss is not.
It is a non-thing. It is where reality does not exist. Where the Tapestry is unravelled. It is not of this world. It is not at all.
And if you step into that not you can find everything.
World-cities that never were. Stars shattered by the swords of bloody angels. The ocean that is the sky. Five bars of signal strength.
There is a faction, not inconsiderable, amongst the Archmasters called the Aswadm. No mere Scelesti, deluded and addled and corrupted by the Abyss are they. They are the philosophers who see the pinnacle of human freedom in the not of the Abyss. The Supernal has laws, rules, foundational tenants of reality. The Abyss has not. In the Abyss true there is only Will. Unfettered.
So, then, the true path to free humanity is to crack the world open, unweave the tapestry of reality, and allow humanity to go forth into that awful, infinite place where nothing exists and everything is possible. To plunge the Supernal's broken fragments into the endless void in between the notes where it will be restored to mere potential once more.
It is reasonably possible that they are the maddest of all, believing they are liberated by plunging themselves into the vast hole left by humanity's hubris and claiming they have found freedom from Truth. But they would say that sanity is a lying structure separating you from the not.
Entirely correct. The Abyss is arguably the font of all lies, the Lie itself, so any attempt to define it or understand it is doomed to failure.
"Is that a threat? Am I feeling threatened?"
Yeah, bu that doesn't change my point.
"Maybe the abyss is a naturally occurring phenomenon?" "Nah, it's the abyss."
"dude, have cannibal zombie shapeshifters always existed?" "Nah, it's the abyss."
"Maybe we shoul Ty to explore the abyss and learn about it?" "Nah, it's the abyss."
"We could harness te abyss for power!" "Nah, it's the abyss."
Jayden actually has a rote for causing her brain to selectively commit suicide upon learning anything about the Abyss. To reiterate, she creates a secondary personality inside her mind, which is to all intents and purposes her, and that personality ends itself rather than hold knowledge of the Abyss. She has done this regularly enough to have a formal, practised, codified spell for the purpose.
It's much better than the alternative.
Of course it's a naturally occurring phenomena. Mages derp'd so hard it became a thing that was always there. but that doesn't mean it's natural to those outside the slavechains of causality. The whole point is to perfect te world, to tear away the false and leave only the true. When rewriting reality is not only a game goal but also something your kin has been doing possibly since before reality as we know it exists... Who is to say? Once the world was flat until someone magicked up something to discover.
Fragments of histories gone litter the world, if you know where to look.
