My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!

[Ravian]

.... Poor Nina....

Nitpicky but I don't think that's the episode. The background is a street scape, most likely central. They found out about Nina in Tucker's lab.

If I could make a guess I'd say it's the first episode with Issac the freezer


As for the physics in Equestria disscussion. It's a cartoon guys let's not get so into it.

Actually, I'm 90% sure it's the 2003 anime's version of Nina's tragic fate. I was just watching it as part of my aforementioned anime binge and Ed makes those exact faces when he sees what Scar has done to Nina (In this version, Scar does you-know-what to her in an alley.)
EDIT: Here is the evidence.

[DigoDragon]

we're these light levels constant?
I see our difference. By extinction I figured you meant in the sense f a species going extinct. I don't think that would happen en masse. 60% of everything dying? Maybe. 100% of anything? No.

Light levels were constant yes. I even bummed power off the school just to save money at home.
There is the possibility that an entire species does go extinct. Some plants and animals may be so delicate in their ecosystem in similar terms as ours, that they die off before the sapient species can discover them. Possible, but we just don't know enough of Equestria for any kind of number guessing games.
But I think we can at least agree that we only have theories on the subject right now, yes?

[PhantomFox]

Are y'all done the wall-o-text physics argument yet? Can I come back into the thread?

[Colonel Fedora]

All of you ponies must have gone mad.
In a few minutes half a page you had.

What in the world possessed you folks?
You're cracking so much that I can see yolks.

Running in circles, like hens without heads.
Or maybe a man who forgot his meds.

Perhaps we should speak of something that's nicer.
Like how Trixie compares to a certain Jack Spicer.

So I stall,
that is all.

[Soras Teva Gee]

As many as Iron Hoof Celestia wants to see dancing on the pin and not one more!

Tyranny is no philosophical answer!

None. Everypony knows that ponyangels are just a made up story to get little foals to behave.

O ye of little faith!

As for one, ponies seem to be pretty much unknowlageable about things outside there cozy homes. Heck, full-grown adults who probably at least went to school had no idea what a Zebra was.

We no real evidence of there being education beyond primary school level either. I mean Twilight of course excepted.

What would Pony angels even look like? No really! It's no like we can just slap on wings.

Well we could try actual angelic traits like wheels with eyes. Or six wings with two over the face and two over the "feet"

Well we could try actual angelic traits like wheels with eyes. Or six wings with two over the face and two over the "feet"

Alternitivly, they could be geometrical-ish but in the shape of a pony. Like, a wire outline that is seemingly in constent motion like quicksilver, and with two burning hoops levitating near it for wings.

But who says they must be bound to pony traits? They could have swords placed on there "head" like donkey ears and great spears with little orbs circling around it like freaky minotaur horns. A mohawk of liquid light could do nicely as well. No need for single blueprints for wings, either: bat-like frames with sheets of painted glass could do fine. And of course, the greatest among them would have dragonlike scales made of rubies, each with a thousand singing souls inside them.

Of course, they would probably be more like Alicorns with little halos.

[Alabenson]

Not one for metaphysics. We can get more arcane if you like:

Tommorrow on Ponythread, how many pony angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Clearly, we must approach this problem through the wonders of SCIENCE! First, we'll need to capture a large number of angels...

Sure see how that works out for you. You know how angels used to greet mere mortals with a seemingly counter-productive FEAR NOT right and how just one what thought sufficient to guard the Garden of Eden and all?

I'll battle the Lich and his entire fleet if I have to. I'd loose to the combined might but I'd do it. One of them things, heck no I'm runnin the other way.

[SiuiS]

It's worth mentioning that Narrative law is not incompatable with things that seem to observe physics, but Physics is often incompatable with things that follow Narrative Law. So ponies falling when they slip off a cliff works with either, whereas Pinkie being in Dash's hiding place before Dash works easier under Narrative Law than Physics.

Huh. This is the wrong quote. Ah well.

How ya doin' Tiki? Ya doin' good?

Are you upset if somepony does physics to analyze how fast a pony is going or how much force a spell exerts? I don't think any pony is saying that physics applies 100%, but I do get the sense that some ponies are a bit miffed that every time they bring up any science they get a response that oft times amounts to "your science is worthless, mwahaha!"

Yeah. There's a world of difference between "as your equal I feel I can prove you wrong" and "lol no ur dum its a cartoon".

I'm not saying you shouldn't use physics to calculate how fast a pony runs, I'm just saying don't be surprised if another episode comes along and blows that analysis to pieces.

...You know what, let's stick to metaphysics.

That's not a problem. That's refining the data set.

MITD-http://asdflove.deviantart.com/art/M...fied-325332744

That's really clever! It's eyes really lend well to the pony style.
I can't get Redcloak to load

What would Pony angels even look like? No really! It's no like we can just slap on wings.

On the contrary!

Silver Lining is a winged pony angel... A winged pegasus pony angel!
Actually I think she's a seraph earth pony but who can say

Okay, just posting this theory that just popped into my head about the Season Three opener.

Spoiler

Show

There is no such thing as a Chrystal Pony. A Chrystal Pony is mearly a pony mind-controled by the seasons Big Bad, and when Candace takes up the throne she gets possessed Nightmare-style. Ponyville got abandoned because everypony moved to the Chrystal Kingdom and became "loyal subjects of the Chrystal Kingdom".

I don't think crystal has an H in it. It's a nice ringer for Chrysallis, but seeing as we have the official spelling already, I don't think they are going o make that connection.

As for the physics in Equestria disscussion. It's a cartoon guys let's not get so into it.

That's not helpful at all. It's telling people who are invested in something that they don't matter. It's what cause such a huge conflagration in the first place.

The rule of D&D don't matter. It's just adult make-believe! But look at te rules debates there? Should they just give up and let it be because it's just a game?

Light levels were constant yes. I even bummed power off the school just to save money at home.

Well, I can't exactly argue with you. I dislike the notion of extinction at that level, but it's a natural consequence of mapping Equestria to earth rather than earth to Equestria. The nature of the light is important but that's a plot-pull of later discussion.

Ok I'm sorry, things were just getting a little too argumentative for my taste for a disscussion over cartoon physics. I just was hoping we could tone it down a bit.
And I generally am told I obsess far too much over these kinds of things by my brony friends.

That's fine. But just ask us to stop, because it's getting bad. It's te casual dismissal of stuff folks have obviously put time into that's troublesome. It's saying "shut up, you don't matter" instead of "let's please move on". That's all.

[Tiki Snakes]

Huh. This is the wrong quote. Ah well.

How ya doin' Tiki? Ya doin' good?

My quotes are elusive, like a fox? Hmm.
I am as good as ever.

Agreed. This is getting vitriolic in here, and I don't want that in ponythread. It's not why I come here.

Ponythread has been getting antsy for a while now. It's happened before, seems to build for a few days/weeks before getting out of hand. I think we're on the far side of the curve at this point though.

Fixed it for you

Aw, man. Thought for a moment you'd found a ponified version of the theme.

Also, no. I am not a pony. I have pony OC's, but right now I don't even have an active mouthpiece-character, not since the fractal-truck-crash and the death of Ponithid.

I didn't think I was being rude. Nor was I forcing anything upon him, at least as far as I know.

Not that it was rude in your case specifically, taken in isolation. More that it's rude generally to push someone into a corner and question them about the same thing over and over.

Eh. Fine with me, I guess, though ya'll just ignore him whenever he does pop in and ask? Doesn't seem very polite, but I guess I'd rather not screw everyone else over just to be polite to one.

Luka is welcome, and if he fancies talking we talk, but the issue of whether or not he's a brony is well trod ground and there is little left to say on it.

And a rather dark interpretation of the changeling race:

Spoiler

Show

I don't really have time for the many dark-as-possible interpretations of the changeling situation. This particular strip is executed with panash, but the artstyle leaves me cold and the ideas behind it just don't ring true to me.

But I've mentioned my take on the subject before, and it sums up simply enough as "Changelings consume love, but they aren't starving to death because they can also eat food."

Also, Pony Angels? I kind of like the idea of them being long-limbed and multiply winged. (Two pairs of very big wings is plenty though).

[Soras Teva Gee]

said singular angel failed, as you'll recall.
*turns to boffinspark*

What failure? Learn your classic lit some more. They only put a guard up after, ain't nobody been back since.

Better question. If they were to put pony 'angels' into the show what traits would they have in order to be recognized as such.

I liked Pokonic's answer first few answers Glowing mercurial shapes with wheel like wings and such. I would get it anyways.

Though he's probably also right they'd just cheap out and add some haloed alicorns and call it a day.

Then again not like I'd expect any to show up. More for the whole sorta death would be acknowledged thing then anything else. Nopony seems to want to cross out of certain comfort zones even at the drawing board level with the show judging by the AJ's parents situation.

oh duh, im thinking of a different story. same basic idea (fall from grace etc. etc.) except there was a guardian who failed by letting that's story's version of the serpent sneak in.

And so, as Zecora day begins to close
A little poet attempts some prose

A little PbP that deserves a shout.

Check out this link and come on over.

Please note that there is still one place
That needs to be filled with a friendly face
So come on any who may show interest
And let's begin the Char-gen in earnest.

A final stanza to drive the point home
That I hope you listened to my attempt at poem
So please give a thought to the subject of my ode

She was the last one on her shelf,

Hah, as if I would stoop to accepting help from a supernatural menace such as yourself. Besides, I've already devised a foalproof capture strategy.
All I have to do now is figure out how to rip the Elements of Disharmony out of Discord. And then figure out how to wield them properly without causing unacceptable levels of collateral damage.
