My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!

[Kris Strife]

Some of them even play football!)

You mean real football right? Not the watered down version of rugby where they wear hard plastic armor and someone losing an ear delays the game for 30 minutes?

[Tectonic Robot]

Uncharacteristically serious for a moment: as you may have noticed, I have two modes, normal and Serious (the latter always being specifically stated by "being uncharacteristically serious").

Oh pish-posh, you have more modes then that. Maybe depressed, or happy, or something else. Like the mode you'd probably go into after listening to Eurobeat Brony: Discord.

There can be only one football! And that one is played with 22 men, 1 round ball and studs.

Modes, not moods...

...

That raises a point, though! Why I haven't got an awesome theme song?! That plays everytime I do something awesome?! Which is everything!? Because I deserve one!

Because you can't sing.

Not the point! The Emporer couldn't sing, either, and he gets awesome music! And Orochimaru etectra! I command you to make me a cool theme song!

...

You mean me?

Do you see anybody else that I'm pointing at?

*sigh* Fine...

So what kind of fic would have the title "In-laws and Outlaws"?

[Eakin]

So what kind of fic would have the title "In-laws and Outlaws"?

Wacky sitcom antics among a family of thieves?

Or a fic centering around someone's attempt to impress their SO's parents, but all their attempts escalate out of their control until SWAT teams are called in to control the surprise 65th birthday party they were trying to throw?

That's what I get from the name, at least.

[Titanium Fox]

You know, I was just starting in on a quote-post at work, because generally if I don't I can barely keep up with you folks.

And then I remembered tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend, and that the CEO of my company is here.

I will see you all tonight my bronies.

And don't worry, I've read some of the responses to the Fluttershy idea, and I'm slowly formulating a character already. :P

[Aotrs Commander]

A suggestion?

I think that's a bit too sweeping for personal use; I think it'd fit better as sort of army theme, something that plays as our carefully planned trap is revealed and all of the Aotrs vehicles and starship sweep into attack positions and our enemies brick themselves...

You listening, Hopereaver it needs to be like Pokemon or Naruto's action theme only cooler (I guess between 20 and 63.5%) and more Evil. Like an Evil version of the Touch or something! But with ominous chantning!

Yeah, yeah, I'lll get right on that.

So what kind of fic would have the title "In-laws and Outlaws"?

Rarity having a discussion on the aesthetic merits of the current range of available Light Anti-armour Weapons and which ones will go best with this season's attire?

Because if it isn'tabout that, it should be.

[Capt. Ido Nos]

So what kind of fic would have the title "In-laws and Outlaws"?

Either way, it's going to include at LEAST the Apple family.

[EsperDerek]

What one (or more) sentient/sapient creatures gets up to on their own time is nobody's business but their own, so long as it is legal and is not causing harm or damage to anyone else.

I have to say, I'm pretty much with the lich on this one. I don't care what anypony else gets up to, as long as it's not hurting anypony else, and I expect the same courtesy.

And since my OC was spawned from a threesome where there was a lot of sex magic used (offscreen), I wouldn't have any room to talk about sexual stuff.

(Plus the horn being sensitive has lead to some hilarious comics.)

[erikun]

So what kind of fic would have the title "In-laws and Outlaws"?

Appleloosan family reunion? Somehow, I'm think six-shooters might be involved. (What would they shoot? Muffins, I guess.)

[Geno9999]

(Plus the horn being sensitive has lead to some hilarious comics.)

Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me, since when I think of horns, I think of a Rhino's horns, which is more or less a giant fingernail growing off of its face. Unless, there's probably some nerves going through the middle of it, which would make breaking your horn off a VERY painful experience.

[Gadora]

Ahh get out of my brain! How did you sum up my entire posting philosophy in these 3 sentences? Are you a wizard? O.O

That is exactly what I do, I drop in with a comment here or there, rarely doing more than letting the smart, creative ponies know that they did something smart or creative. I'm often afraid to say more, to drop in with an idea of my own for fear that my idea sucks and if it was good you guys would probably come up with it on your own anyway.

To learn that SiuiS, master of the omniposts and all around awesome guy, felt in any way similar to this is... well I don't know but I know I didn't expect it.

I certainly don't post anywhere near as often as my time lurking these threads would indicate, maybe I should change that.

I seem to run in cycles, and that's one stage. It seems to go from "It's rather awkward to post," to "Screw it, I'm gonna post anyway," followed by "Ponies!" before I suffer burnout and lurk for a bit before restarting the whole cycle.

As far as feeling like I lack useful things to say? Yeah, that definitely is there to some extent. These days, I'm trying to remember that yes, I have in fact had a bit of an impact on the thread. I may not be one of the smart posters, or one of the more eloquent posters, but I do seem to have been the first person in the thread to think that it might be worth it to throw "pony emoticons" into Google.
...And that was back in April, twenty three threads ago. Now I'm all sad again.

Sounds like something that would involve Sheriff Silverstar. Probably a meet-the-parents scenario.

*goes to check old thread* huh. No shenanigans while we were gone? You're a college age lass. I expected a least a party.

I have a harem forum. Who needs parties?

I'm too behind to draw a slack-jawed reaction picture. This may just go in my "really wish I'd drawn this on time, let's copy/paste the joke for later" file.

Sorry? XD

I shall take that as approval...?

Indeed.

Never could tans the thought of Lichdom myself. By the time it would have mattered, there were always better options. Though I suppose one of them was a functional equivalent to Bleakbane's spirit binding. Hm.

It's not the best option, but it's not terribad

YAY! victory! *dances poorly and arrhythmically*

As punishment, have some candy and a videogame! MWAHAHA!

Hay, I would even take the powers of a god! Shapeshifting is a god power right? Hey look now I'm a goddess!

Important loophole to remember.

Hey, I have had all of them, and I'm...
Disqualified. Nerts.

Why are you disqualified?

I am!
It's an, um, interesting road. I'm too trusting, it's so easy to sabotage myself. <<;

xD

Hm. One would think that would be easiest to accomplish. I guess it fits what I know of your character though.

It's really not. Both Kismesis and Auspistices are based on hatred, and I try to avoid that. Even my kismesis is only a joke.

Gah. Urge to read MSPA... Rising...

===> SiuiS: Fail to resist the urge.

Silly Lixie, laughing makes fears go away. So you aren't afraid anymore. Laughing doesn't make threats go away. Blustery displays or excessive force make treats go away.

I do not endorse scaring or harming your doctor however.

(wonders how many explosions it takes to scare the average doctor away)

Och. LIX LORN! I know you at least glance at star trek. Prime directive, filly! Ponies don't need jutsu!
If I have to rotate back the stars to fix this, that's going to be a good three weeks of reality alteration I could be spending on ponythread! Promise me you won teach any more non-OC ponies anything that isn't native to Equeatrian Cosmology, please?

You're looking at this from the wrong angle.

Enough Luna's that all of the theories and all of the ships are simultaneously true.

@SiuiS: My reaction was actually impassive to that, as I had failed to set that thread on fire earlier. As a result, I was as bad a the heresies I punished and was forced to turn in my official Fluttermancer Flamethrower.

So, now I need to answer a few questions of Science! that have somehow appeared. I'm really hoping I'm not the one who created them, because the answer to that is either the crazy alternate personality is generating his own crazy alternate personality, or he's somehow circumvented the security systems.
1. How were you setting things on fire without leaving your elaborate underground bunker? Answer: Robotic out-sourcing.
2. How would you feel if the original poster, having built this bunker, managed to circumvent the coma-state you put him in and is now standing behind you, ready to make you a voice in his head like you originally were? Answer: Well, I'd feel......Wait a second.
3. Guess. Who's. Back. Answer: *CENSORED*
4. Where did you even learn that word. Answer: I've been busy.
5. Bye bye! Answer: Rassafrassin' saucy monkey potato flinger!

*Sigh*
I actually really like to RP, but I feel nervous about joining something already established, the same about starting something new, so I'm forced into my one fall-back which is to RP against myself. How did you even escape anyway? My one excuse for this is that I came up with it first.

And I always feel like I'm intruding on the thread when I post......

Sorry again.

So, you think a bunker is enough to hide you away safely, hmmm? Surely you know NOTHING is a proof against ponies.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I'd like to chime in on the "cupcakes vs. muffins" issue.

Muffins and cupcakes are different. There's a fuzzy wuzzy line between them, to be sure, and suffice to say that there are things that could fall into either category. However, to characterize cupcakes as frosted muffins, or muffins as unfrosted cupcakes, is to disservice to both baked goods.

Muffins are denser and more breadlike. Cupcakes are lighter and more cakelike. They're cooked at different temperatures, have different degrees of flour used in them, and are generally different in texture.

I recall an interesting experiment conducted in which similar muffin and cupcake recipes were used to bake a batch of both. They were then given to testers, unlabeled, and the testers were then asked to decide which was a muffin and which was a cupcake.

In one group, both the muffins and the cupcakes were frosted and while the testers were able to determine a difference between the two baked goods, they were unable to determine which was a muffin and which was a cupcake.

In another, both muffins and cupcakes were unfrosted and the testers were able to tell right away which was a muffin and which a cupcake. The difference in textures gave it away right away.

Playground mods are the best mods.

Also, I has a question. It's in the shiny new spoiler in my sig.

Avvie is cuter.

No no, she's fine! She's in a stone dungeon, so she has plenty of air, and I even left her some food and water!

Well, apples and apple juice, but it's the same thing, right?

...you monster.

Kinda, yeah, since assigning mammalian sexual characteristics to nonmammals drives me to rocket launchers (see: dragonborn)...

Dragonborn are justified, actually, cause they're basically just recolored from their original mammalian bodies.
In 3.5e, anyway.

tonberrian, my dear pony, how would you like to part of an experiment? You see, I've developed a new spell, since my level up, and I'm looking for some one to test it out. It's called Intestinal Fortitude, and it's effect is to render you completely immune to digestory poisons and whatnot.

It does this by giving you a cast-iron stomach.

Hmm.

Lich - check!

Angry - check!

Will result in death - probably check!

Does casting this spell involve you hitting me, possibly with an excessively large, heavy, and durable object?

[Mando Knight]

Literally.

However, you now need to watch the pH of your diet, as your stomach has lost a significant portion of its resistance to corrosion.
