Get rid of you? Far from it! Like I said, the retrovirus is almost perfected, but sadly I've run out of cultists to test it on. I'm quite certain that this latest batch will probably turn the subject into an alicorn without any significant side-effects.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!
Speaking of which, they are wrong - it has been over a week from the date S2 started, in September. Yet, we still know nothing concrete about S3
Plus, pointing out month when 75% shows starts when the month where most of the rest starts is almost gone is sort of Captain Obvious. I wonder if Hasbro gave up on fans for some reason...Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
It's worth remembering that;
Spoiler
And I say that as someone who has one.
Actually, I self identify as a Winged Unicorn, and don't even come from the same planet or even plane as Equestria.
I refuse to get involved in a discussion with my own character.
Well, that was surprisingly rude. If this triggers an existential crisis I'll be forced to swear vengeance, you realise?
Wait, she hates me? I'm not sure I know what to feel about that.
Mostly I just like the picture.
Also, Cupcakes just isn't worth the effort of worrying about. It's not like it's even remotely in-character at any point. It has provided us, inadvertantly however, with one of the better Rainbow-Dash-Presents, though.
Edit: Best Alicorn.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
Oh noo~!
To be fair, this wouldn't happen if you weren't so delicious.
Yes! That one! Braeburn... Chryssie...
I'll uh... I gotta go. And... Draw. Something.
The best part? It's not a work of art, or a labor of love. This wasn't something someone did because teu thought it was a good idea, or a good story. No.
People were shipping Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie together. An someone decided that the best way to fix the egregious sin, that most terrible of dangers, that sickness that is two ponies in a relationship, by writing a detailed psychopathic murder story. And let's be honest, torturing your mind to dredge up horrible murder ideas isn't anywhere near as bad as letting people think about ponies, like, kissing and stuff. I mean god! Ew! Those shippers are the real disgusting, terrible people.
This would be, what, crude satire?

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
Season 3, being a short season, will most likely have a late start and plenty of intermission weeks where old pony episodes are shown instead. Just to drag out what normally would have been a 26 eps season. My guess anyway.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
I *could* agree with you had canon didn't added fuel to flames by first showing CreepyPie (Green Isn't Your Color), then CrazyPie (Party of One), then ChaosPie (The Return of Harmony), then DemonPie (The Last Roundup).
As it is, well...
Or, well, they might just not live in first world and death/pain might be much more common occurrence in their homeland. Literature depends a lot on culture, the fact we find some element alien/repulsive doesn't mean everyone finds it repulsive. For some, MLP might seem too 'unreal' so to speak, and they might try to make the world a bit closer to them.
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.
And, yeah, Cupcakes isn't very good story. It's just a bad slashfic. Still, you can have a story when a pony goes insane and begins a descent over spiral of madness, even good story. It wouldn't be uncanonical at the least - except Pinkie examples above, we have Twilight's attempts to mindwash everyone and another with stopping time. If that can happen in portion that can be shown to young girls, there is literally nothing in canon stopping it from happening in more gritty story.Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
you know... Nopony ever put forth the theory for "green isn't your color"; that every Pinkie appearance after the initial Carasoul Boutique scene may have simply been Twilight's own over active imagination/conscience.
edit: And now I have this horrible idea that "every" pinkie appearence is simply a delusion of Twilight's. And when you see other mane "five" interact with pinkie, it was simply Twilight they were interacting with, in her Pinkie personality. Gummy? That's actually Spike. Twilight actually works both in the Libary and Sugarcube Corner.Last edited by Kairaven; 2012-09-25 at 02:16 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
I would hold that the fact that a given label can be applied to an aspect of a character in badfic and an aspect of the same character in canon does not render the badfic plausible.
Also, characterization under the influence of Discord is only a potentially valid basis for conclusions about Discord.Level 4 Bibliophile/Level 3 Bard, working toward the Bibliomancer Prestige Class

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
By providing evidence to the contrary... interesting strategy
If so, either Twilight is so mad (vide - S2) that Cupcakes cannot be said to be implausible, or inner mind workings of ponies are so alien to us that... Cupcakes cannot be said to be implausible
Does. Not. Compute.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
I think that misses the point. This is a cartoon, and it needs to get things across in ways that are both funny and clear. If it were a more realistic story, Twilight would simply remember what Pinkie had said to her, as all of us, from time time, remember advice we've received from friends and family. In fact, I bet most everypony here actually pictures Pinkie Pie if I were to start talking about the Green Isn't Your Color friendship lesson.
The fact that the show portrays this with Pinkie popping up randomly is for humor and clarity, it's not an indication that Pinkie is an insane stalker.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
Others have already said most of what I could say. In short, there are many motivations for writing and/or reading such stories. For the record I mostly laughed at Cupcakes, because it was just so awful and dumb. I really don't have much interest in gorn-fics, even though I did write a rather short one of my own.
Why did I write that one? It was honestly just a silly idea, and I wanted to see what I could make of it. Sometimes that's all there is to it. I could have done more with the idea and turned it into a longer, more serious story but the thing about that is ... when you do that, when you get serious with a premise like that, the story almost inevitably turns less gorn because gorn just doesn't hold up for extended periods.
Cupcakes may not be a literary masterpiece, but you could ignore its stupid intent and read it like you'd read the Hannibal Lecter books (which I haven't yet read, sad to say), as a view into a sick, twisted mind or an exploration of some very dark ideas. Maybe the abstract idea is even the whole point, to explore our fears about insanity, maybe?
If only Cupcakes had been written properly it might actually have been worth reading a story about Pinkie Pie losing her mind tragically and murdering her best friend. Not to get some kind of sick satisfaction from the experience, but to explore an idea or a thought or to just feel that sense of dread.
As it is, writing a good story with that premise is not easy. And that in itself can be a motivation, as a challenge to yourself. Can I actually pull this off well, so it's more than a joke and something people would actually read twice? Probably not, but you just might.
This! Thank you!

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
CreepyPie (Or NinjaPie) doesn't do anything harmful at any point besides say she's disappointed in Twilight. It's more creepy how she's able to get anywhere including into a mirror.
CrazyPie I covered already.
ChaosPie is what exactly? Enjoying chocolaty rain or being mind warped into a grump?
DemonPie is valid but Applejack blatantly crossed the line there. And after chasing her down and pinning her what did Pinkie do? Ask for an apology.
So suddenly violent cannibalistic Pinkie Pie? Not supported anywhere in canon. Pinkie Pie is crazy sure. But it's not a violent crazy. I could see a fic where her mental breaks get worse and worse til she has to be sent to a mental hospital but her becoming violent isn't supported at all.
On Cupcakes what redeemed that story for me was the first Silent Ponyville which is a very dark story about a non-canonical Pinkie Pie who has been repressing a very dark memory from her past.Last edited by Forum Explorer; 2012-09-25 at 02:26 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!
Yes. But it also doesn't make goodfic implausible.
Also, I meant the scene where Pinkie goes "Chaotic Armageddon and end of ponykind as we know it? Fine, it has chocolate rain!" where she wasn't under anyone's influence.
No ninja mask, sword, or shurikens. Your argument is invalid
The fact that the show portrays this with Pinkie popping up randomly is for humor and clarity, it's not an indication that Pinkie is an insane stalker.
Also, my point kind of was that things canon does for humor are sometimes far more horrible than any fic, Cupcakes included, if we stop to think about them a bit.Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Canon Pinkie isn't someone you would like to see run around with assault weapons or fireworks. And yet she does, and we like it. It's all about personality I guess?

ChaosPie was more playing complete antisocial moment for laughs. Demon... Well, I thought AJ was for once completely justified, Rainbow Dash couldn't just leave well enough alone and actively tried to ruin AJ's new job despite multiple requests to not to.
And no, cannibalistic isn't supported, yeah, but violent? Just ask Gilda (or others she "pranked")
