Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
SpoilerYeah, I saw it around a bunch too, but this is the first official thing I've seen confirming it.
And I don't know if either side really needs to resort to cheating. Trixie already has her amulet thing, and Twilight has skillNevermind, I said I wouldn't speculate on the specifics of the plot. Just wait and see how it turns out.
What do people think the significance of the visiting dignitaries will be? It's not like their presence will increase pressure on TS much (she already has her mentor watching), and it doesn't seem to me they would be added for no particular reason at all (law of conservation of detail and all that).Devoted artificer of the church of Scorching Ray.

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
Wooo, my local comic shop had the comic in today!
Have a comic review below, rife with spoilers
SpoilerFirst, some overall thoughts. They captured the essence of all the mane 6, and the return of Chrysalis story seems suitably interesting. It feels like an episode, right up to and including the breathless pacing. They added quite a bit of snark, especially at the CMC and Pinkie Pie, which was quite hilarious.
I would say the characters are somewhat caricatured in a way. Rainbow Dash is looking to beat somepony up or in the proces so beating somepony up in more than half the panels. Applejack looks constantly angry (due to Applebloom being kidnapped) and Pinkie is even more hyper than she is in the TV show, if such a thing is possible. However, I mostly found this amusing as it's using limited space to try and get across the character in this new medium. I do think Rainbow Dash gets a somewhat negative portrayal, I'd rather she were more sarcastic and verbally blunt instead of coming across as so physically aggressive.
Some specific jokes were amazing, and I think the panels and puns were great. Rarity does say "someone" at one point instead of "somepony" but these things happen. The final joke strikes me as one that Bleakbane will agree with heartily because it's all about how good ninjas should work.
Some personal highlights for me
- Applebloom rocking the scarf in the beginning. I want to see that animated
- Twilight using "form letter" as a verb and Luna's cutie mark as a CC on the form letter
- Scootaloo, you picked THAT moment to become genre savvy? /facepalm
- Leg warmers and stirrup pants were in fashion last season?!
- Spike's books in the library: "To Serve Ponies" "Incident at Santa Mira" and "Herding Cats." Hilarious!

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
Mental idea of how it led to that.
:Twilight dear, you have been my most faithfull student for many years. As you know, you have been taught potent spells and have created a few yourself. However.....
Yes, princess?
Even Alicorns weaken, and Luna is a sociopath who nopony likes. I do belive you have a good idea on who would take up my crown. Such a individual must be wise in the ways of the people, and must be a master of magic.
Princess, I...is this the reason you have trained me over the course of my life? To-to follow....
But....
Realy?
Princess...
Of course!
Wonderful, My Little Pony! Now, bring in young Spike. Much work must be done in order to fuse the elements into a single gem for him to consume. As the new grand royal viser, Twilight Sparkle, I expect you to preform the tasks that are expected of you that your new King issues without question. Your entire life has been leading up to this moment, Twilight, for since your birth I have been grooming you to groom the next ruler of Equestria.
Every success you have ever made in your life was orchistrated by myself to make sure you were the right one to raise a baby dragon. Even Candece and your brother knew, for the Crystal Empire is the new king's larder. Don't worry, Twilight, you parents got compensation for the harm they willingly put you through under my orders. How else did you think Shining Armor got into the Royal Guard?
Of course, you knew all this already, correct? You where always good at seeing the facts past the veil I created around you.

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
I don't know if you've noticed, but Fluttershy is not very big on taking the initiative - particularly when somepony else is talking or acting. Yes, it is theoretically possible that she could have walked away (though probably not flown, not immediately after being taunted about her poor flying skills), but I doubt the possibility ever occurred to her.
As for the flag, remember that Rainbow had never flown a race before. I'd imagine somepony asked her who was going to be the starter, and Fluttershy was the first pony who came to mind who wasn't a competitor in the race, so she asked her. And you know how good Fluttershy is at declining requests.Level 4 Bibliophile/Level 3 Bard, working toward the Bibliomancer Prestige Class

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
This is the fandom who also written volumes of fanfic for DJ pony who appeared all but 3 seconds in season 1, and decided to pair her with a cellist pony who appeared in like two scenes in the same season. And then decided to go full out animate their misadventures at some point.
Shall I continue?

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
New theory regarding Trixie episode
SpoilerTrixie's new trinket is an ancient Saddle Arabia relic, possibly a lost royal heirloom that the visiting dignitaries were asking Celestia for help recovering because it's dangerous or valuable or both ... you know the deal. It was stolen from the palace, probably by Trixie, and the Saddle Arabia royals beseech Celestia for help capturing the thief, meanwhile they enjoy a bit of local entertainment only for the two things to get tangled up because of Plot™.
Trixie loses control and takes over Ponyville in a fit of NMM-style possession, turning it into the dark and deserted Trixieville we saw (because, come one, the Boast Busters Trixie we know wasn't the kind of outright evil pony who would turn Ponyville into that sort of gloomy place)
Celestia and the foreign ponies then help Twilight with some legends that direct her towards another relic (somehow getting Zecora involved) that can protect her so she can free Trixie and Ponyville from this dark influence.
Then either
1. Trixie is once again too proud to admit she was in way over her head (this time playing with forces she didn't understand) and runs off, vowing to get her revenge one day
or
2. Trixie admits she was wrong andbecomes Twilight's friendthen there was Twixie!
Sounds kinda like a two-parter, though.

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
I wish the universe itself and many, if not most, or possibly the majority, of the entities within it were not apparently making a deliberate effort to be as sucky as possible...

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
I just saw a My Little Pony bubble bath kit at my local store. The flavors were all in different pony-shaped containers that even had a keychain on them so you had a little piece of merchandise when you used them all up. It had Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. So, apparently Rainbow Dash is a dirty pony that doesn't like baths.

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
I liked that bit of two radio dramas. Gives you a clear picture of how the Doctor can be very different and yet still the same, along with a different dynamic between the Doctor and his companion. (Twilight's the most competent companion I've seen, actually able to follow the Doctor on some of his trains of thought, though I've just started season 5 of the NewWho so I can't know that for sure.)
Personally I prefer Doctor Whooves adventures over Doctor Whooves and
Assistant. It feels more "Who" while some of DWaA seems like it was built around explaining what The Doctor and Derpy were doing during the MLP series then telling a story. (which is why I consider their Cyber-ponies episode the best, since it's set in another time) Adventures seems the right balance of light-hearted and serious for me.Avatar based on artwork by Jabari Weathers

Maybe Rainbow Dash was so awesome and popular with the manufacturers that they stole the bottles out of the kits before they were shipped, hoping no one would notice?
Ooh, I have a theme song now! (As soon as I read "Spiderman cartoon" I was humming the tune, heh. ) This is awesome and you are awesome. Thanks!

Re: My Little Pony LVII: You Must Construct Additional Pinkies!
I'm not sold on it being a creation myth. I'm not sold on it even being a myth; she was there. It's not "In the dark far flung reaches of the universe", it's "last Thursday, or was it Wednesday? Whichever day has discount pancakes at IHOP, that day...".
To butcher a lesson from Bakemonogatari, if you make the mistake of treating a spirit like a pony, you will only cause yourself grief.
However, didn't know any better/not on the scale of human morality isn't a defense.
Now that's an interesting fic. Throw in Discelestia for that sweet sweet oedipus thing. Convolute it do discord is father an mother and needs to be killed so he cant stand in the way of himself being with Celestia.
If the volcano takes pleasure in hurting others, then it's an evil volcano. "Sentience" means "having emotions", "sapience" is "having a consciousness". If it's sentient and enjoys hurting others, then sapience has nothing to do with it; they're evil.
Why, hello there, Tuesday! How are you?
Welcome to your pony after-school special (they still have those right? or am I showing my age?)
not a spetacular episode and very predictable, but given the whole attention given to the issue of bullying now-a-days the message and lessson is good for the actual target audience.
Applebloom is a carpenter. Scoots is a mechanic.
While correct, this makes people who don't like objective morality get all up in a tiff. "Logic be damned! Real evil can't exist because I choose to believe there are always extenuating circumstances!" and all that.
While we're on the subject, "being a spirit" is not a blanket excuse for doing what you like, any more than "being a god" or "being an unfathomable entity from beyond the stars." And furthermore, the attitude of "you can't do change it/do anything about it, so don't bother" I find fundementally unacceptable. I do not believe there is any entity of any stripe, not any diety, nor spirit, nor metaphysical conception that cannot be destroyed somehow and thus that cannot or should not be held accountable for it's actions. It may beyond the power of lesser mortals, or even greater immortals, but that does not make it truly impossible.
Really, this argument just gives it opponents fuel. If they are wrong, it's okay to punish the wrongdoer, and if they are right, it's still okay to punish the wrongdoer.
Also, my next Mage character is going to be Bleakbane.
In my defense, someone in another thread totally put me out of commission! They knew my weakness!
And then I considered playing 3.5 again.
I think it was the inconsistency of her accent.
The absolute highlight of the episode was the A Team montage, which had me in stitches.
Rarity has emergancy edible boots?!
Aye. Personally, I think there comes a time and a place to fight for your stuff. That place and time is when your property – as in real estate – is stolen and you're forced to sleep on the ground.
aye! Having a team like theirs work like an actual team is so rare... Teamwork is often decried as a waste of effort. Seeing a coordinate team succeed? That worth the watch.
Beginning to wonder if maybe the reason they haven't found their marks yet is they have an unusual surfiet of potential...!
...
...
...
!!
Oh please Lichemaster, let there be a surge of A-Team/CMC parody related stories! I will literally kill someone for a CMC A-Team intro parody...
This could totally redeem the episode completely!
*eyeglow twitch*
*eyeglow twitch*
Ooooooh no, I see a parody coming on! Boss, now easy, you don't want to...
Parody Incoming!
Ohcrap. *facepalm*
[spoiler]In 1003, a cutie-mark crusader unit was grounded by their guardians for a crime they didn't commit. These fillies promptly escaped from a maximum-security bedroom to the Ponyville underground. Today, still wanted by their guardians, they survive as fillies of fortune. If you have a problem... if no-one else can help... if you can find them...and you don't mind being covered in tree-sap... maybe you can hire...
*fade to red*
*dozens of blueberry pies splatter into the words*
...the CMC Team!
*cue ridiculous intro sequence with lots of things exploding (like breakfast), getting covered in tree sap, and culminating with a spectacular cart-crash in which the cart flips upside down while on fire, with loads of dust and smoke and explodes twice in big orange fireballs... and then the driver (Crankey) crawls out rubbing his foreleg like he's slightly brusied and shakes his hoof in the direction of the CMC-Wagon (i.e. Scootaloo's wagon painted black with a red stripe down the side...)
Frag, I love the A-Team.
—
Okay, so. Episode.
Personally? I'd have clocked Babs. I'm with the omnicidal undead monstrosity with dreams of multiversal domination; there's really no excuse for being that much of a hump backed, slack-jawed sperm whale.
Then again, I do think they took the wiser approach. Stooping to Babs' level when there is a recognized, legitimate authority right there is indeed, bad. But recognizing their mistake, and Saving her from their plan? I wouldn't have done that. And I knew as soon as I said "no, let her burn!" that it was the wrong choice and I had made it anyway, unhesitatingly and unrepentantly. So it shows a bit of character that the CMC are actual role models and not just the jerk kids the camera happens to glamorize.
Also, seriously applejack, what the ****ing hell?! "Hm, mah niece is traumatized by all the teasin' an' bullyin' she's gettin' for not havin' a cutie mark. Let's cheer her up by invitin' her to stay with Applebloom! Why, durin' all that obssessin' over cutie marks an' how important they are an' how cool an' life defining it would be to have one, I bet Babs would forget all about her cutie mark troubles! I bet she'll be pleased as punch!"
I think you let your hat get wet and then stood in the sun, and then the leather shrank and started pinching your brain because that is such a fundamentally bad case of missing the point I don't even.
Also, Scootaloo's goober face while jumping in front of applejack? The one where she doesn't look like anyone is home but they left the stove on? I need that in .gif form.
Oh, and
I am beginning to think, what with the way pretty everyone I know even more casually, like here, appears to be having a grim time at the moment, that the Mayans were, in fact, right, but that like, as Wolfram and Hart suggested, the end of the world is not a big catasptrophic thing, but a quiet decent into entropy and gloom....
Partly because if the world decides to end via giving me seven work days a week and that somehow leads to the end, I will hold it together via force I will and show it what a real apocalypse looks like – an angry broad in a green hat with a blow torch.
