Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Chapter 8 of II is finished. I think from now on I'll skip the ponythread prereading process and just publish the chapters when I'm done with them. Not that I don't appreciate the feedback when I get it, I just can't justify delaying each chapter like this. Better to just publish it and let everyone read and critique it.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Well, I suggested above that writing novels that appeal to Celestia would be a way to get into the nobility, and it's been my headcanon as well that Twilight is a noble.
One again, the terms "accounting" and "law" are interchangeable. Although I'm at least still a student, so we'll see, maybe I'll get a government job where they don't care about that sort of thing.
News edit: It seems that WalMart is, in fact, not hipster at all. They just need better focus groups (or we're all really out of touch and vintage characters are actually more appealing to more people).

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
I figured it was a trademark issue. Didn't Hasbro lose a lot of the rights to older gen characters for basically neglecting to reapply for them? Walmart might have been trying to save on royalty payments and figured that the older gen was "just as good."
I blame "Platinum Crown," myself. Shame that story is going a little bit off the rails as it goes on, but as an example of world building I think it's still pretty stellarLast edited by Eakin; 2012-10-10 at 02:53 PM.
Proof-reading is totally unnecessary in the digital age now that we have spell cheque.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
It would have been an awesome hipster shirt if they had actually managed to get all the correct old-school ponies on it. As it is it's just half-assed.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
The shirt has Applejack on it, which is one of the trademarks that Hasbro held onto, so that's not likely. I honestly think they just ran some focus groups with girls ages 5-40 and found a bunch of people that liked the older gen ponies and only had passing familiarity with the term "bronies."
In other news, Pinkie Pie hacks Google Chrome...again.
And also, this picture is awesome and perfect for pony day.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
silly...Fluttershy is the author....how else do you think she can afford to feed and doctor up all those animals(and offer 10 bits for a cherry)
because as we all know, THERE IS NO PEGASUS MAFIA
now comes the work of id'ing each of those ponies....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 LIV:E Long and Pony!
Darn it to heck.... I'm -struggling- to get my paper done so I can submit it tomorrow... and yet I can't focus because I've got this bloody song in my head! I ran into it last night, and have been listening to it since freaking midnight! It makes me sick, and yet I can't stop listening to it! I don't understand it!
Hm... it seemed like some of the second ones came before the first season ended, actually...
I don't see how they even have a holiday based around her at all... it just doesn't quite add up in my head. In the first episode, no one recognised her but Twilight, who had actually researched her. You'd think they would if there was a holiday based on not ticking off this person.
Additionally, Zecora seemed to be the local expert for this holiday, telling it to the little chillin'. Yet Zecora wasn't even really treated as a member of Ponyville for a while, with everyone as freaked out by her as they were by Luna.
The cogs are trying to turn, but so far it's just overheating...
I'd be willing to argue that. If Frosty the Snowman came back from whatever evil snowhill he came from, I'd be sure to be ready and waiting for him, even if he looked a bit diffeent.
... fudge, my brain keeps shutting down mid thouht when I get to this line. Is Luna the Santa Claus version, or Nightmare Moon?
Again, I understand the regalness. I don't understand her having a perfectly normal dialect with Celestia and in her return, then going Macbeth for the holiday. Heck, compare her dialog to that of her briefly ironic appearance in the final episode.
I still haven't finished the work I was supposed to do yet... got a freaking earworm in my head, sapping my will to do anything but smile and feel happy...
... do you mean trying to work more on the first one? Or trying to write some sort of blob to provide a taste of the second one? It's hard being so formal with these things... especially when I can see what types of things inspired the work, too...
It's not like I have to deal with those people anymore now, so it's not a problem or anything.
I'm just so out of practice, I don't even know where to begin... I've always prefered hand-drawing, too, which means I'll need to find something to enable me to draw it and then get the computer to accept it...
Would you believe, at least in me, the song I'm listening to has been sturing up so many feelings of happyness and love, that I'm actually feeling desensitised to the otherwise ****ing adorableness of baby gilda?
Also, the pillow reminds me of a 'mon.
I thought you said boobs. I was scared to click the link for a second....
Where on earth did Bwobs come from?
... I can only imagine someone going into a work place, serious, pointy haired and everything... with a tie like one of those. I wouldn't know how to respond to a boss like that...
I hope your situation improves (mostly by you being able to at least find a job, which would be a very good break in this economy). But I have to note how conveniently timed things around one's life can be. Lessons from your favorite show, or messages from church, or the lecture for school... Fate's just odd like that.
..... Cranky Doodle Dandi is the Illustrious Captain Ginyu!?! Can he do a pose, too?
I guess... what, the Mk3mantra, was it? I feel like it makes more sense for more time to have passed... long enough for only 1-2 birthdays, maybe off screen...
Did you hand draw that? It's really good...
..... I wonder how many other epic fan ideas can be turned into an episode, especially one that comes with a built in lesson about being able to share the things you enjoy.
In anycase, I'd totally watch it.
Lixie, you're like the Morrigan Aesland of this group. An elicit incarnation oflustshipping that corrupts the pure and innocent around you for fun.
It's not... at least not the basic subject matter. Not to mention there's really not too much else you can make ... saucy, for lack of a better word, on a pony, so on a basic level, I completely understand...
It's just... dang, ya'll -really- like dat flank! I thought -I- liked my share of big butts...
The thing is, I still hear about flanks, and flanking, and covering eachother's flanks, and flanking people... but before this group, that was all completely mature, strategic talk, involving attacking or defending from behind.
And now, I can't reread that paragraph withot thinking about pony butt.
Wait what?
... no, nevermind.
.... actually no, better I learn here where it's safe...
..... but I'm not sure if I'm ready to know yet....
...... DARN IT I DON'T KNOW!!!
I can barely write myself, let alone properly critique... I'm still reading through the Nightmare Sonata... though I have no idea who Lyra is. Or Octavia. Not to mention Bon Bon...
Still, sorry...
Are those all from the show, or just pony versions of the actual cast and crew?
Still probably less silly an undertaking than this:

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Seems like a common problem of late. Hopefully things will pick up soon, I'm starving for feedback here. I need looooove and adoration
You don't need to give me a detailed critique or anything, just your completely subjective thoughts and reactions will be fine. I'm always happy to hear any feedback, even if it's just "I liked it"
As for the characters, all three are background ponies without a lot of speaking roles in the show. BonBon has had a few brief lines (all with different voices, which is becoming a bit of a running joke), Lyra only one and Octavia none so far.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
You need love and adoration? You should have been Fluttershy.
.... dear god that makes me so much happier; I can stop being scared of needing to write another essay, just to try to enjoy a work of art.
Ah, I see. You guys are almost as bad as the Touhou fanom when it comes to breathing life into every single possible being in existance. Shoulda seen this when I realised you ship even concepts...

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Well, to be more precise, in this context, onion skinning just means you have images of the previous frames partially visible beneath the frame you're currently drawing. Non-digital animators use tracing or transparent paper for that sort of thing. It's, like, onions come in layers, apparently, and you can peel the skin off and see more layers of onions, and that's where the term originates.
This is even better when the most recent game in the series, Trauma Team, has several different main characters. I wonder what Pony-Eagle-Man would look like. Wait, no, check that. I don't want to know what Pony-Eagle-Man would look like."Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."
---
"Oh, hey, look! Blue Eyes Black Lotus!" "Wait what, do you sacrifice a mana to the... Does it like, summon a... What would that card even do!?" "Oh, it's got a four-energy attack. Completely unviable in actual play, so don't worry about it."

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
But, see, Fluttershy outfreaking adorables even the changelings. Even as an awkward teenager, she's the -best- filly, no question.*
I'll try to finish it soon... I can read it in class tomorrow, since the professor already sent a copy of the notes.
Absorbed minds, more like it...
...... First of all, tell me you're not actually insulted by being a Darkstalker. Or do you not know that particular video game mythos? I'd sell my soul the second I could to gain such a prestigious honor...
Second of all, when has the shipping goddess ever touched me period? There's only one girl I'm interested in now, anyway, so I suppose it's better that I'm not distracted.
Third of all, you have prophets? .... like, clergy prophets? Oh god...
And lastly, I appologise for offending.... darkstalker. :p
I'm guessing you're one of her priests.
*SpoilerYes, I did just throw down the gauntlet.
.... actually, to be in the flavor of this thread,

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
I have no idea what a Darkstalker is even referencing. The implication I was insulted by was that I was evil and corrupting.
Second of all, when has the shipping goddess ever touched me period? There's only one girl I'm interested in now, anyway, so I suppose it's better that I'm not distracted.
AKA, no love for you.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
I can only imagine these things being aimed at young urban professionals, the hipsters who don't care. Besides, they're subtle enough that unless people started looking closely at the things on the pattern, they'd pass for regular ties.
Oh, you have no idea. Consider this (bloody huge screen-stretching) image:
Spoiler
Count how many ponies there are. I guarantee you that the majority of them have had anywhere from two seconds to five minutes in actual show canon.
I also guarantee that each and every one has been named; each one has a story written about them. For each and every one, there is a headcanon.
Example time: Look to the far right, where there is a grey pony, playing cello while being harassed by a white unicorn with a blue mane. Between the two of them, they have perhaps a total of five minutes of canon screen time, including the show promo "Equestria Girls."
The fandom has decided that they are named, respectively, Octavia and Vinyl Scratch. They both live in Canterlot, working jobs as a cellist and DJ, respectively. (DJ-P0N3 is Vinyl's DJ tag, and is actually ascended fanon at this point.) Depending on whom you ask, they are good friends, roommates, or caustic lovers.
Like I said, you have no idea.I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!
Currently, we're playing through New Vegas as Gabriel de la Cruz, merchant and mercenary extraordinaire!
