Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Only in the most general terms. By HSL...
SpoilerPinkie's mane is 238, 234, 157
Dash's eyes are 231, 187, 110
Pinkie's eyes are 141, 241, 185
Dash's coat is 138, 255, 207
That is, Dash's eyes are more blue, more dull, and more shaded than Pinkie's mane, and Dash's coat is more blue, more bright, and more tinted than Pinkie's eyes.
Mind asking Hopereaver if he found any soup recipes when he gets out?

Spoiler: Season 4"The stories contained in a work of fiction are fiction" isn't exactly much of a secret, now is it?
Spoiler: S4
I liked the Twilight's Mom theory, but I only consideredthe parts of the comics I likethose sections that were obviously true through careful analysis and observation to be canon.
As for the name, they're just waiting for the film adaptation episode to bring out the ponified George Lucas/Steven Spielberg.Credit for my various avatars goes to Dashwood,Cealocanth,Kwarkpudding,Randomizer,kpengu in,Alarra,Bisected8,zimmerwald1915, and Thanqol.

Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited-- well, except for the time that I started posting ponies here at GitP, but I mean really, who can top that?

SpoilerLet me reword that. The author herself made up everything about her being the author of these stories.
I think that is satisfactory a secret.
Well I'm going to bed. My daughter is trying to get up at early'oclock in the morning for the mini-mareathon so I better get some sleep. We got snacks and stuff set aside for this event.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
exactly.
granted, this was also the GM of my first Vampire Chronicle, where my character's entire herd got arrested with no warning, and my stage three viniculemed, blood addicted, conditioned for loyalty ghoul retainer betrayed me for literally no reason at all.
so he was kinda a jerk when it came to rule enforcement.

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
I kinda do like Cadance, even though every rational look at her says I shouldn't. And I did feel sad about her Tea Party fate
Shining Armor, though? Never was a fan. I think I like him better as an insane tyrant. Hay, sudden completely random thought, maybe Sombra was future Shining Armor who traveled back in time.
Thanks! ^^

Spoiler: S4E4I don't understand how this contradicts the comic. Unless this is to do with issue #13, which I haven't read yet.
Yup, Dipper Pines. Probably the only person who loves checklists as much as Twilight. Well, almost as much.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
SpoilerSo what's the alternative?
Shining being the equally popular nice guy - in which case, he's basically Flash Sentry? (And then there no conflict, either.) Which would make him bland - because EVEN PONY couldn't make that very interesting even when they made the rest of EqG good.
There simply isn't time in a two-issue arc to do something slow - that sort of thing is really only suited for moments in long-running series or dedicated romance dohickies (which you were just never going to get out of official pony material, whichever you you slice it) - and even then two issues likely couldn't do it justice.
The only way you would get around that would have been to had them meet in a more official capacity (perhaps when he was a guard on duty or something), something maybe a bit adventure-y. Though THAT just gives you the OTHER set of cliches or the, by this point, equally cliched inversions.
Or not to do it at all. (And I think there is a certain sentiment among the fans sometimes - which you do seem to espouse a bit, Deadly, sometimes - that now that the show has laid the ground in the first season or so, it should not explore certain things, things that might contradict people's personal headcanons that they have built through the exploration of fanworks.)
I think your opinion of this arc is just a bit coloured by the fact you just don't like Shining. I honestly don't think they could have written this ANY way that'd you'd not find fault with just by virtue of it being about Shining (and to a slightly lesser degree, Cadance).
SpoilerWorth remembering, this is not their romance story, this is how they met. Maybe even qualified as they first date. But what this story isn't is how they fell in love.
YES, the show staff couldn't resist the urge to make cracks about them getting married and living in a crystal palace... (and not inappropriately, given the comics ar essentially a humour piece) BUT (and assuming you do not buy into even the possibilty of "love at first sight") and, please correct the poor outside Lich if he's wrong, but are not the expectations of romance from most teenagers often wildly unrealistic anyway? (Is it not commented on often enough that often teenagers always believe it will Last Forever at first?) And is not that sort of thing tempered over time, with experience in actual relationships? I'm given to understand (from no lesser authority than Guybrish Threedwood) that marriage requries "courage, anchor, direction, sacrifice" and all of that sort of thing...
So presumably their crushes/infatation that they are displaying here evolved into something rather more concrete - unless you are seriously suggesting Cadance, the actual princess of love (bearing in mind love is an actual quantative force) has no understanding of her own special talent? I think, my dear Thanq, you are having a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to what you see as a steriotypical occurance without thinking around it a bit. There is at least a grain of truth to sterotypes, after all, otherwise they wouldn't have existed in the first place, distorted as they get with time.
Come to that, given that love and friendship are sufficiently powerful force that are strong enough to bind six ponies together before they never even met... Why is it not credible that Shining Armour and Cadance 'love each other for no rasin' at first BECAUSE they were so compatible. (I'm told that dating and such is mostly about finding out that compatibility, no?)
It's like that thing where people say they don't want to beleive in predetermination because that means they're just following a script - without ever actually considering that if the future mirrors the past, they choices they make they are the choices they were always going to have made, because of who they are - and if it's a script, it's one they tacitly write themselves by virtue of being themselves.
(And, to follow that to the really meta conclusion - if they find out a choice they made and make a different choice, that ALSO would have always been the choice they made (and any alternate future they avoided doing so or something would only ever have existed up until they made that choice). People seem to think that can't be scripted - and yet it IS, in every time-travel story which deals with that sort of thing. (It is, once again, people not being able to get their heads around a the fact a thing can't be a thing without being a thing.
(E.g. the Eldricth horrors/chaos gods et al that people sem to think (wrongly) can interact with the universe while not interacting with the universe. If something is truly immune to the laws of reality, it couldn't INTERACT with reality.)))
Wow, we really strayed off the point there, didn't we?
What was I saying? Um... Yeah.
So anyway...
...
Seriously, you people are making me defend a shipping thing. What is going on? I've a good mind to set Darkspark on you!
(Granted, I have to say - this is Best Use of shipping though - used as comedy gold mine. This story was humour first, romance second.)
Guh. It's too early in the afternoon for this analytical crap... That's probably all unintelligable gubbins that probably utterly failed to convey what I intended, isn't it? Never mind.
I'mma gonna stop before my skull implodes.
Happy birthday Deadly!
Sometimes.
Well, to be more accurate, she's a girl all the time, but these days she's only a skeleton sometimes.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Pony Day!
And Hippo Birdie to Deadly!
TSR I believe also created a creature that was essentially an adventurer-eating floor. This article has a few classics.
That is the darkest Zelda game ever. I mean... if you let the moon fall? Just talking to the locals trying to cope with the end times? Heavy.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Thanks
SpoilerI liked it, for what it was, actually. It was that dumb kind of funny that I'm sure it strove to be. I don't hate everything because of Shining Armor either, in fact he's so unlike show-Shining in the comics that I kinda like comic-Shining just fine. Or at least don't feel any dislike for him, it's not like he's suddenly a favorite character or anything.
There's not necessarily anything wrong with the basic premise either, or stereotypes in general. I just really think it could have done it better. I mean, come on, a group of giggling fillies talking about coltfriends over tea, you know. I like to think we could expect better from the show, and therefore also the comics.
Rarity can be a stereotypical girly girl who loves fashion and wants to marry a prince, and still be a well-rounded and interesting character. We've seen that, the show has done well in that regard. So far we haven't seen the same from Cadance, and especially not in these comics.
That's my problem. I feel like Cadance, for all her pretty pink princess power and awful fate to be that girl who only exists for the sake of getting married, deserves a little nuance and love.
But it's my birthday, and new pony day, so I'm really not in the mood to get into a huge discussion of this sort of thing.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: So I'm watching the mare-athon.And one of the Promos mentioned something along the lines of Friends and foes teaming up, with Discord sitting in Twilight's ear.
An other promo had a real child ask if discord was really good, and it cut to Discord mispronouncing Fluttershy's name, pulling Rainbow into a hug, being corrected by Fluttershy, saying whatever, dropping rainbow, and Hugging Shy.
Could this be evidence for the "He's faking reformation" theory?I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.
