Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
What is it, gamblers dilemma? Sunk cost fallacy?
Either way. You're not honoring the sacrifice of those heroic hours who died in service. You're a chump who feels
Obligated to continue. Break free of the mind control!
Yeah. Ponies and actual factual "technology will make our lives better" just doesn't jive, for me.
I'm arranging my affairs! Im entitled to non-pony stuff every now and then! Don't judge me!
Finally! A pony who understands!
Heh. Chryssie is totally doing this right now in oneiromachy with one of the Fae. The surprise twist is that she is the catholic robot!
Russia is totes climate controlled. And the thermostat is in the hands of Jack Frost.
I've always liked gunboats. Their cost is low enough that it's actually more expensive to build a new factory than it is to have that factory run at full capacity for a decade. Hel, you have to stop your weapons tech from advancing halfway through or you won't be able to build ordinance small enough to equip them with! And it's not like space fights are linear, no. Ship power is quadratic, and there comes a point where no amount of gunboats can come anywhere close to touching an enemy dreadnought.
But when you've been building gunboats nonstop from day 1, your numerical power scale quickly gets high enough that the computer cannot generate matches for you, because the disparity is so large. So. Very. Large.
Completely unrelated, but I just need to vent; Marvel have clearly lost their minds completely - not content with vampirising Jubilee, and then writing her out again because they're either so stupid they can't think of a use for her (and won't let the writers that aren't loose with her) or they're trying to use her as a marketing gimmick (use her to bring in people to a comic, then take her away so they can do it again later) - they are actually cancelling Wolverine. I... don't even...
*skulldesk*
Well, MLP comic is coming along. One would hope it's not rubbish, because if it is there is a significant chance that the Regeneration One Transformers comic may end up being the last one I'll be getting. And while there is a certain symmetry to having my comic-collecting days bookended by the Transformers Generation One storyline, it's a bit depressing, nontheless.
1Strictly Imperator, of course.
That looks dirty for some reason o_O
Strangely not out of character!
On the contrary. Alignment as such being an objective thing, or at least less than personally subjective, evils is completely capable of calling out evil. Anything below a certain goodness threshold is evil, no matter how much closer to the good line than you it is.
This is why people still shake their heads at Boffenspark. Poor pony.
Fund it.
Mostly agree. That dancin' Derpy was totes hot though.
Split em up then. More Braeburn for me!
Yeah. I know the Internet is where anything which diverges from the "norm" is scoured with caustic sand, but really guys? Oh no, oh no, my eyes? Come on.
But isn't incest specifically a breeding thing?
I'll stop there though, I don't want to cross my threads or make you uncomfortable.
Of course not. This fandom has Braeburn.
That giggle was actually the sexiest part of that episode. Lix posting a hot Changeling!CelestiaxChrysallis pic right after sealed the deal. The only sound I've found as enticing in any media is Shakira's "aroo~" in Shewolf.
Nah, Bloo needs to be candied lightly with some razzberry syrup (but not any coloring!), set so the crystalizing sugar remains clear, and adorned with a blueberry 'spider'.
I began to read this as a kinetic at this point.
Octavia has an iguana
Luna has an Ursa Major
Hot damn, yes! It captures earthing perfectly! Attitude!
Twice. There was that thing with the guy that we don't speak of.
So Ponyville isn't thriving? It requires a good apple harvest.
Not true! Thanqol gently chided several ponies for ignoring the rules! That's as good as punishment right there.
Yes.
Yes.
YES!
Oh Hahahahaha! I will Pay you for doing this...
Ah, nuts.
And what did you figure out, young'n?
Wow. This is some signature material right here.
Then vote for LIV:E long and Pony!

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
Indeed? We know the Apple family needs a good apple harvest. We know the rest of Ponyville likes their apples. But I don't recall a single indication that the town itself will either fail or starve if there's some kind of apple blight. We know, if absolutely nothing else, that there is at least one other significant farming pony/family in the near area, and that there are other crops being grown.
"Apples, carrots, celery stalks,
Colorful flowers, too!"
And also the corn AJ was attempting to work with in 2x01, milk, meta-canonical truffles, likely some variety of wheat... Point is, I see no reason to believe that Ponyville would be devastated if any one thing didn't happen; whereas Aaaaappleoosa "[needs] that grub to live on"; specifically the "first harvest" from the orchard, which "should be any day now".

You know, if you really want to become an alicorn that badly, I have a mostly perfected retrovirus that should do the trick.
Is this the same retrovirus you were testing on all those cultist's? The one that continually mutated them into horrible abominations?
Yes, what's your point?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.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
You misunderstand. I rather dislike those fics and they've saturated FIMfiction lately.
I suppose it isn't a bad idea but when we get a constant barrage of them then they get old fast.
To be fair I just don't like the concept. I think the changelings just look to uniform to be converted creatures. Also why would they have the mind control then?
That is a pretty nice picture thoughLast edited by Forum Explorer; 2012-09-25 at 11:27 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
I told you guys, just as I first started trying this series, about how I accidentally ended up finding Cupcakes on TvTropes, and definitely should not have read it. It probably didn't help that I got linked to someone having -DRAWN- the thing, and I accidentally clicked it, and couldn't look away.
Someone said to note that there's an episode to which Cupcakes becomes somewhat of an ascended meme, where it -could- have happened, had she become more deranged.
And I ended up watching that episode (Party of One). And I remembered Cupcakes. As well as the animated version of it.
And it got in me. And it hurt.
I was stable enough that I made a post about the connection, but then I was a bit sad for the next few hours, before I finally managed to make myself sleep.
There was a quote on TvTropes that covers my mindset pretty good, but for the life of me, I can't find it. Probably because they deleted a lot of the real life section of the site.
I'm accepting of sweet. Sweet isn't a bad thing. Everyone can use some sugar some times, even the macho people. Sweet is good. Not particularly for me, but still good.
And I'm accepting of ****ed up. I've seen ****ed up before in real life. And it happens. Life gets ****ed up some times. I'm fine with that. It's part of the intrinsic agreement that I accept by living. Not a big fan of it, but life, you know.
I just can't stand it at all when sweet combines with ****ed up. I just can't. And that's why people who write stories like that, or holy heck draw pictures or movies like that, or the fans that enjoy stuff like that, and even those people that get off on stuff like that; I don't understand. And I don't want to understand. Because that's ****ed up. And it ****s me up.
I can take it when the line between good and evil, right and wrong, that line of morality, gets shifted a bit, or bends, or twists, or shrinks, or even fanishes, leaving the story and the morals ambiguous.
But stuff like this just isn't justifiable to me.
I don't understand how "fans" can even think about doing things like this to characters, even if it's about a coupling they don't prefer. What kind of sick twisted mind someone has to be to take these horrid, discusting thoughts, and reproduce them in a freaking media form, so that others can experience them.
And how worse a person might have to be to -enjoy- such thoughts. And then there are people who -get off- on such thoughts (and yes, there are. Because there's a person for everything. And stuff that makes this look tame can only be accredited to people like that.).
And that is what I fear.Last edited by INoKnowNames; 2012-09-25 at 11:51 AM.

There is only one thing to say to this.

(You/whichever OC of yours that is looking after her should totally feel free to name the Ponithid-Timeline-Clone, btw. I'm pretty comfortable with her being your character, in most senses, and a distinct individual. You know, if you want to</fluttershy>).
Also, far as edible flowers go, all I can say is that if you can find it, Rose flavour Kulfi Icecream is really quite good.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
It's Escher-iffic!
The fact is that Cupcakes is straight gorn. And people are weird. Unfortunately, while the internet is a wonderful source of information, it's also anonymous, which means people can get a little freaky. I guarantee that half the porn on derpiboo.ru wouldn't be up if there were actual names and phone numbers attached to them.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
The part that annoys me about that episode is that people took it to say that Cupcakes was plausible when it shows the exact opposite. The very idea of losing her closest friends was enough to cause Pinkie Pie to have a mental breakdown. She would never, never do anything that would cause her friends harm.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
While Soras answer of "welcome to the Internet" is empirically right, I'd thought I'd try to offer you a bit more.
First of all, yes there are people who write crazy gore stories because they get off on them. There are also people who write crazy gore stories because they have curious minds and, perhaps despite themselves, are willing to explore the question "what if?" wherever it might take them.
The bigger question is why people read this stuff, why the ones who write really crazy stories get any popularity. And here, the motivations get a lot greater. Some people get a thrill from enjoying something that they rationally know is wrong or deviant. Some people, like the authors, simply want to explore, they want to know about things, even disgusting or awful things. Some people take Pinkie's lesson in Luna Eclipsed very far and really like to be scared or even disgusted at times because it can be fun to experience all kinds of emotion, even the bad ones, if you can do it in a safe environment.
Lastly, I want to distinguish between something like Cupcakes and a good dark story, like Thanqol's recommendation for Fallout: Equestria or Deadly's stories. Sometimes people want to explore a character's personality and need to do it by putting the character in great distress or bodily fear. These can be great stories, and they don't all have to end up like Cupcakes just because they're dark.
Edit:
What Party of One suggests is that Pinkie Pie does start acting irrationally when she starts feeling like she's losing her friends. It's a sign of mental dependence and instability. The story writers simply extrapolate from that, suggesting that, were Pinkie to go an extended period of time in her unhinged state, she might begin committing more serious irrational acts, potentially up to and including those depicted in Cupcakes.
This is flawed reasoning because extended mental illness obviously does not always lead to murder, but people get uncomfortable with mental illness in general and tend to extrapolate incorrectly, so it's not surprising.
