Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I know, right? I can't tell them apart anymore either, I swear.
SpoilerYeah, I guess that could be what I'm looking for. I'm not too sure if the dropping of the status is a good thing or not, we'll just have to wait and see. I know this episode sat well with the Bronies, I'm just concerned it may have alienated a little bit of the original target audience; specifically the younger end of the spectrum (3 - 5).

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Yes. Yes they are. It makes me feel like I should run very, very far away as fast as my hooves can carry me.
Point taken. I just literally can not remember at what age I started watching cartoons like that. It may have been younger than I thought.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
BUH.
This is the last time I wait so long to watch the episode, but I've got good reason this time!
Amish's Computer Woes (spoiled for RL nonsense and such):
SpoilerSo I took my laptop in for repairs, and with labor, repair costs, part ordering, and all that jazz, the total repair cost would be somewhere on the order of >25% the original cost of my 2-3 year old lappy. Yeah, not worth it. It's a lousy thing to do over what amounts to case failure, but it just wasn't worth repairing.
Fortunately, my parents decided to get me my Christmas present early, and fronted the cost of an upgrade. My old lappy will be servicing as a backup computer/file repository for now. And this is my first ponythread post from my new laptop. About twice the specs of the old one, about a hundred dollars cheaper.
Moore's Law, fillies and gentlecolts. It's a beautiful thing.
Actual EP 3 thoughts:
SpoilerI really liked it. Crazy Twi was hard to watch, but I think that was the point. I loved how they handled Celestia in this one. A lot less jarring then her previous sudden appearances. Spike was awesome, overall aesop was awesome, great gags, Big Mac you so silly, loved it.
Oddly enough, in getting up to speed on the latest Midnight RP, I think I covered most of the major conversation topics without reading the whole thread. I'm definitely remembering that tactic next time I have to play catch-up. That being said, what all happened in the last three days, aside from all the Twilights driving Midnight to shenanigans?
Also:
I had an insane avatar before it was cool.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
It's no problem, you're welcome! I completely understand because it's the same for me. *huggles back!*
Yeah, exactly. They've crossed over to the realm of Storytime, as opposed to the madness of the thread.
That appears to be the generally acceptable combination, yeah.
*SuccuMidnight smiles, and that nimble little tail flicks, wrapping playfully around Jade, and she gives her cheek a gentle kiss.
"I'm glad to hear that..."
Heehee, I woke up before you, yeah. Or at least beat you to the thread today.
Spoiler"Uhm...uhm...no! I wouldn't...wouldn't b e angry at all! Not at all! Really! So there's no need at all for you to do that!"
Spoiler"Nooo, I don't want to go back to Magic Kindergarten either! I'm a fully grown mare, darn it! I'm going to go back to hiding under my bed. I'm taking Jade, Beeskee, and Lixie with me. >.>
Yay! Gives me something to read then respond to on my transit time to and from work! *dances*
Y'know, I don't think I can even use ponysanity as an excuse anymore. I think we simply all be crazy.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
As you say, filly means "young girl", the important part here being "young", specifically "not yet an adult/not mature". A little roughly, if a pony can have children they are not fillies/colts but mares/stallions. That's the real-world distinction, at least, as far as I can tell.
Maybe I am being rather narrow here, but as I've said I'm perfectly happy bending these "rules" in some situations and contexts. Creative and artistic license is a good thing. All I hope for is that it isn't done thoughtlessly or out of ignorance.
If you want to write a fic where you delve into the cultural idiosyncrasies of Equestrian ponies, and intentionally bend the real-world expectations, that's great! But unless within such a context, I'd say it's better to stick to the regular meaning of words.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply anything like that. I just worry maybe I'm coming off as too... I don't know, rude or something. I just want to make sure I don't seem unreasonable.
What I'm saying is, even if things aren't exactly the same (obviously, when dealing with talking, magic ponies), we still use our own world as a base so that, when we're unsure of how things work we use what we're familiar with first. In this case it's never (AFAIK) stated in the show what precisely these words mean, so we use their real-world definitions instead.
And because most people probably aren't greatly familiar with equine terminology, mistakes are made and propagate.
I just don't see that their usage in the show implies something different from my definition, with the one exception of the "fillies and gentlecolts" bit. That is the only example I can find where adult ponies are referred to as fillies/colts in a non-insulting/non-joking way. Everything else seems to suggest the real-world definitions are in effect, or it is so vague that it could be anything and in that case we should revert to the base, in this case the real-world definitions.
Maybe I'm a minority. Probably, I guess. And I suppose at this point none of it matters, since it's unlikely to change in any way
I'm no expert on fractals, so I couldn't tell you the exact conditions. It gets quite technical. But somewhat roughly I believe a fractal needs two major things: Self-similarity at arbitrarily small scales, which we covered, and a simple, recursive definition by which it can be created. There are other details, but they're beyond my comprehension of the topic.
The problem is that "girl" doesn't really cut it as a translation of "filly". "Girlchild" is closer, because a filly really is a child horse (and female) and as you point out "girl" doesn't always mean child in our own culture.
So a "fillyfooler" must be someone who either fools fillies, or fools around with fillies. I'm pretty sure the first one makes no sense in the context of that story. And someone who fools around with fillies (child horses) must be a pedophile (for some resonably broad definition of pedophilia, involving any person who is not yet considered able to consent because of their age, whatever that age may be for ponies in Equestria)
All I'm really saying here is I consider the CMCs to be fillies (and not the mane 6), and if you're fooling around with someone like Sweetie Belle, then you're a bad pony.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I know, but I still feel bad about it. :P
"I... Erm... Eep." The filly goes bright red, seeming to shrink behind her mane in a brilliant imitation of Fluttershy; a very embarrassed smile on her face.
I dunno about waking up before me. I've been up for... Six and a Half Hours already.
"...I am rather okay with this."
It always puts a massive grin on my face when I see how much you're enjoying the RP too; which is just what I needed today. The entire office has a case of the Mondays, and as IT, I get to clean up after said case of the Mondays.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
I've been partial to the idea of "fillyfooler" having 'fooler' as the base of the word, with 'filly' as the modifier. You are a fooler, and a filly at that. Fooler in this case leaning towards the "idiot/simpleton" definitions of fool, as opposed to the connotations of 'fooling around'. So, we end up with this being an insult in which you call into question their base intelligence, and maturity at that.
Also, just for kicks I threw fooler into google definition, and it said that a fooler was a pacifier, so there's that.

ok...non-pony related but this had me laughing like a maniac so i gotta share
mildly NSFW
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 XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Okay, so I actually skipped/skimmed a fair part of the thread today, but I wanted to chime in on this:
Am I the only one who actually dislikes the idea of ponies having full "proper" names? I can accept it for Pinkie because it kinda works, what with her no-fun rock farm upbringing it makes sense for a kind of "normal" name. Plus it's Pinkie, I'm still pretty certain she made it up. Pinkamena sounds like something a little girl calls her self to make her sound more grown up/important, like a Suzie calling herself Suzabella or something.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Esper shouldn't do this (it's his call) but I just feel that it's... wrong somehow.
Someone actually did this. There were a bunch of mocked up ID cards for every single pony (mane and background) with full names on. I'll see if I can find some.

A note on Season 2:
SpoilerI seem to remember we had an inside pony who saw Season 2 before it came out. He said something to the effect of "Season 2 will be different. But it's a good sort of different."

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Let's see. We have I believe four of the six Mane cast with canon surnames, and one very well implied. (Bolded for emphasis)
Twilight Sparkle
Pinkamena Pie
Rainbow Dash
Applejack Of the Apple Clan (Or something along those lines; it's canon she's "part of the apple family" which implies it as a surname of sorts).
Rarity Belle (Assumed due to her sister, Sweetie Belle).
The only one who doesn't have a canon Surname is Fluttershy; and I'm inclined to believe we just don't know it yet. Who's to say they don't all have strange full names like "Pinkamena Diane Pie"? It may actually be a proper name in Equestria, with "Pinkie" just being a typical nickname for it, such as how "Alexander" is a proper full name in American culture, but typically most people named that go by "Alex".Last edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-10-17 at 11:41 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XXVII: Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate Rain
Not at all. I thought it did some clever things and wanted to give you a chance to look at it, but I understand why it's not a good choice for PbP.
Let me know if you want graphics of the character sheet or any other illustration.
If you decide you want to change video editors, you might want to take a look at the open source program Avidemux.
Wait, what? A Mule is a (male) cross between a horse and a donkey (a female is a hinny).
The sexless version of a horse would be a gelding (which is a word that I'm fairly confident will never appear in an actual episode).
Wait a week, and we'll all have spooky Luna avatars.

And I definitely didn't expect you to become so sexy- er... I mean, become a succubus! That is definitely what I meant!

If you're gonna tell her that she's pretty, then just say it. Like this:
(Imitating a male voice): Midnight, This succubus look sure is lovely! It really looks great for you.
See, is that so hard?
Although, she really is much cuter in her normal form.
There's also this reference that was much earlier. Once again, check the computer's wallpaper.
SpoilerOh, whoops. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I just like teasing this guy (she pokes Raindrop on the shoulder) because he starts acting so silly when he's embarrassed.
So, you were staring at his flank, eh! Liked what you saw? Autumn giggles a bit as Raindrop starts to blush. See, this is what I meant earlier. He turns purple!"Why is it that we receive a penny for our thoughts, but have to put in our 2 cents?"
