Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
well i think that is apart of the idea of using the name, Trixie, after all magicians use tricks.

If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

Future Spoilers
SpoilerHeh, I have no problems with Shy singing some ska.
Certainly would be different!
I'm also picturing Apple Bloom with a leaf blower that has a roll of TP attached to the end of it (saw it at a ska performance once)
Saturday's Episode
SpoilerI guess we'll see. Maybe Discord will keep his chaos low-profile if Cadance befriends him, just because ponies don't really appreciate his antics. I think Pinkie's love of chocolate rain was it.
Yeah, that was my thought. Probably just coincidence due to name punnery.

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
random thought:
It has been reported that every recorded US government shutdown year has brought about a snowy winter. And sure enough, this winter.... *looks at snow around
Conclusion: Windigos....
And on future pony:
Spoiler
I wouldn't mind some scatpony (the music style, not the other horribly inappropriate meaning)
although.... which pony would make the best scatpony?

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
Huh, that's actually an interesting thought.
Can it snow in your area? I know it doesn't where I live, but it was 37F this morning and that's pretty darn cold for my area (and no I don't deny that I'm a wuss under the cold weather).
Spoiler
Future Episode
SpoilerPinkie seems natural for speaking fast-paced nonsense so I'd reckon she would be a fit. Maybe Rainbow Dash in second place...
Red Bull leaves this weird aftertaste on my tongue. How to describe it? Like drinking alka-seltzer out of a fresh baby diper. Yet I still enjoy it for the buzz so... I'm weird.

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
Let's talk Windigos shall we?
The show associates them with winter and famine, which is in-line with the myths. You know what they left off? And you know what makes it weirder that they take the form of ponies?
We're talking ick, so fair warning.
SpoilerThe myth is extremely closely tied in with cannibalism, and the spirits can possess the living to crave the flesh of the living... or you turn into one through cannibalism.Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
I remember seeing a couple of old episodes at my Grandparents house once, along with some Rocky and Bullwinkle, still definitely not my era but I wasn't oblivious to its existence when the trailer came out.
I'm looking forward to it as well, I'm really not sure why since most of Dreamworks' newer stuff never really interested me, (along with most recent animated movies, really) but this one actually looks pretty good.Avatar based on artwork by Jabari Weathers

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
I'm unfamilair with Arizona, so I had to ask.
Wendys? Go!
SpoilerI remember reading a bit about them. Tall, lanky, lacking lips... Turning into a Wendigo through cannibalism is the version I'm most familair with. A couple myths also give the creature a stare that can freeze you solid with fear.

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
The only thing I know about the show is that there's a fandom throwdown going on.
It's really a cross-section of boogy-man and yeti myths. As far as trivia mythology goes, this one is rather obscure, and I couldn't help but boggle when Pony brought it up.Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
Pony definitely has a healthy dose of mythology. The changelings were another surprising one, somewhere between actual changeling myths and succubus creatures. And kind of adorable in their own creepy way.
Hydras, manticores, sea serpents, the spoof of the three wierd sisters... love it.

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
Well, I just picked up the first Friends Forever comic.
Spoiler: Comic Friends Forever #1Not at all what I was expecting, honestly. I was expecting some sort of baking contest and confrontation between Applejack and Pinkie Pie, especially considering the cover. Instead, we get... a baking contest where they try to help an unrelated pony?
I guess I'm just not understanding the whole "Friends Forever" title. I mean, reference back to the baked bads (and perhaps Party of One, with Marine Sandwich) was amusing to see, but I'm not sure how that ties Pinkie and AJ together.
Vermouth Roux, the griffon, has some seriously strange taste.
My comment about future chapters are probably thanks to the Incomplete tag on the story itself, which led me to believe that you had something more in store with this. As I said, it's a good story by itself!
Interested in the classical relationship between grypons and horses?
Or how dragons were depicted in the middle ages?
Tales of changelings, perhaps?
I think that they're more inclined to just toss in random creatures and create their own stories for them, rather than actually implying any connection to the mythological figures. After all, the target audience isn't likely to have been reading Algonquian or folk fairy tales with much regularity.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
Obtained copies of MLP#15 and Friends Forever #1.
FF#1
SpoilerOverall, a bit of a middling tale this one, not helped by the misleading cover! I mean, AJ wasn't even intending to compete
Some nice gags, and a weird cartoonish supervillain at the end made me figure that this episode has been influenced by Power Ponies as well. I don't think the lesson had much impact, but for a bit of lighthearted fun it delivered. Still, I do prefer to get more than that from pony.
6.5/10
Reply
SpoilerI so don't get what criteria the judges were awarding winners on, except that they always seemed to do it in inverse to how much the contestant is trying to win.
I also liked the fact that the Summer Van Der Hoof chef has spent so long making other ponies' favourite dishes that she can't figure out a simple request to make her favourite dish.
MLP #15
SpoilerWell, this is a second comic that seemed to be inspired directly by Power Ponies. But this one does it right.
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the step up when the catipillar pods all started opening. I was expecting a story where they had to deal with a bug infestation, not one where we end up with Pony Loki, The Black Queen, Voldemort and a villainous Fabio running around. A good step up in my opinion, and brings back the fantastic and the dangerous to what otherwise would have been a very mundane plot.
Chewin' up stories and poopin out characters ... I'll never think of bookworms as the same thing again.
Also, entertaining to see the ponies and their reading material. I don't really know what's going on with the whole 'can't magic until plot resolved' aspect, but it didn't knock me out of my engagement with the story. Poor Pinkie. Also, Holy Hayballs is my new favourite pony term for surprise.
Some good promise of for the arc. Hoping that the second half delivers on the solid setup.
8/10

Re: My Little Pony LXXVI: 'P' is for 'Ponythread'!
Well don't I feel silly now! I hadn't even released it, so I forgot about adjusting the status completely and never paid attention to it. Of course the tag "Incomplete" would lead a reader to the assumption that the story is incomplete. Perfectly obvious to anyone with a lick of common sense. Oh well. One can make do without. Just a bit more stressful.
I think that seals the deal, then. I'll submit it as soon as I have cover art. Ponythread comes through once again!Last edited by Silfir; 2014-01-23 at 05:35 PM.
This signature is boring. The stuff I write might not be. Warning: Ponies.
