Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that, even though they might seem incompatible on the surface, when a negative charge and a positive put aside their differences they can discover a wonderful attractive force between them. So much so that anypony who tries to resist them will suffer painful shocks.
Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Woohoo, a new thread!
FFA FF RP: Free Raspberries! (Free-for-all Freeform RP)
SpoilerBeeskee sets up a small wooden stand in the market area in the middle of the town, with a sign that says "Free Raspberries!" in colorful writing. He stands behind it patiently, smiling. Oddly enough, there do not appear to be any raspberries on display. Or anything else, for that matter.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Cool. I was never too sure if there was some Trekkie-like requirement of writing Mary Sue fan fiction and getting married with costume pointy ears and/or forehead ridges.
For me, I'm more at the "make amusingly captioned images on the Internet" level but not reached the "make fanfiction of favourite ponies" level. Eventually I might reacht the point I name a MP3 player or mobile phone Scootaloo.

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.

Oh man, I hope not 'cause otherwise the brony police are going to be all over me for slacking off.
Also, I'm taking off tomorrow for a trip to New Zealand and Australia. I won't be on the internet much until after Thanksgiving, and probably not on these forums at all.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Oy, A question:
Is there a new episode out yet?
I remember:
the two Discord episodes
the twilight goes crazy episode
the nightmare moon episode
is the fifth out yet? I can't remember, or don't know, I don't keep much track of this.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
egads, do you lot go through a lot of these threads. had to jump through about five after google dumped me on a mention of my fic...
so, am i alone in thinking that, in general, each episode's quality keeps improving to the point that, five episodes into season two, the earliest episodes seem rather weak?

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
So taking up the vote for thread name was for naught? Noted.
I was wondering if somepony would beat me to it...
Only comment is that I like over the barrel, and Pinkie Keen wasn't bad so much as folks let a poorly worded moral affect thee synopsis of the entire episode.
But there seems to be a depth here I've never really considered for any other show. I wonder if I can parse other televised programs by which writers I enjoy the work of?
She is the Peggy Bundy stereotype, without the Bundy. Chubby, big haired, tourist in capris. I suspect she's a terrible cook, myself.
I know how you feel, mate. Even I'm behind
I am glad y'all love that gif. I'll have to dredge up more Oldie-but-goodie stuff sometime.
These ponies are CRAZY. fast comes with the territory
How's life treatin' ya, mate? I would have suspected you had weekends off but here you are on Monday/Tuesday, instead. Busy week?
Fabulous! Good luck, and as they say, "go get 'em tiger!"
Ew. Thanks for that. XD
You've heard the telephone version, the article didn't directly say they want to discourage anything; just that they don't believe the fandom is as big as it thinks it is.
Which is entirely true; for a collector, such as most bronies, you Rent going to play with, break, and thus have to buy a new toy. Once the first wave of show-accurate toys hit shelves, we'd flock to buy them and then... Maybe the bubble bursts and we're all satisfied an never buy another toy?
Their pessimism irritates me but it is perfectly understandable pessimism.
Woo! Combination high-five/bro hoof go! *grows a Lyra hand* yeah!

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
I just watched it. Check youtube.
ThoughtsRant!on ep. 5:
SpoilerPhenomenal episode, another dead-on hit. And, Rarity's dad wears a SOMBRERO. That said, I didn't like it quite as much as previous episodes. And don't get me wrong. I *LOVE* Rarity. I think she's a really smart, witty, character with realistic strong and weak points. Simply put, is best pony (Aside from Luna; sorry, but I shall never forsake my alliance). This one just couldn't beat art of the dress ; I mean, that was one spectacular episode. Art of the Dress = Amazing. Rarity has one amazing voice, and I am even guilty of singing that in the shower. It's true, and I'm not afraid to admit it.
Another thought before the Rarity-Lovefesting rant gets too out of hand. I think (and I just KNOW this has already been addressed) that Applejack is not nearly as boring and not-awesome a character as many seem to believe. I'm not saying I worship AJ. I'm not going to rank the ponies because I love all of them. But there is something crucially important to keep in mind: Applejack is a reactive character. She responds most favourably when placed in situations where everyone else is going completely crazy. This episode was a perfect example of this; Rarity and Sweetie Belle are having a complete nervous-breakdown-bad-stuff-flamewar-of-doom and AJ fixed everything. It is important that a character such as that exists in just about any story as a device to keep things from spiraling out of control. Because we all know what happens when things spiral out of control.
And that would be...
THE!
WORST!
POSSIBLE!
THING!
Had to finish with some Rarity, of course.
Well, I could really rant for another twenty or thirty minutes, no problem. But I really want food. So, yeah. That's my (dreadfully incomplete version of) my rant on ep5.He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. -Friedrich Nietziche

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
I've been thinking, does Applejack have a long-term goal that can create conflict? My initial impression was that she needs money for fixing up the farm, but we've never seen the farm cause problems for her. Should they go with this, or think up something new for her to pursue? Dash has her stunt-flying career, Rarity wants to be in high society, Fluttershy is chock full of phobias, Pinkie wants everypony to be happy, and Twilight wants to be a pony archmage. But what does AJ want?

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Probably Owl's Well would be my least favorite episode. Feeling Pinkie Keen and Call of the Cutie are down there as well, and maybe Over a Barrel. Applebuck season's a little closer to "average" although I admit it's lacking in "hook"
I should really divide them into quintilesProof-reading is totally unnecessary in the digital age now that we have spell cheque.

Yes and yes. Applebuck Season was the first of the really good episodes and you are a terrible person.Last edited by Jahkaivah; 2011-11-07 at 10:50 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
Best. Rant. Ever.
As far as I can tell, she wants Sweet Apple Acres to be prosperous, and keep expanding the business. She's unique among the Mane 6 in that she is inheriting a successful family business instead of being on her own, which sets her priorities accordingly.
And speaking of ; tonight we decided to go to Souplantation (aka Sweet Tomatoes, a soup/salad/etc. buffet chain) for dinner. There I found:
- Taffy Apple Salad (with marshmallows & coconut) on the salad bar
- Diced Apples & Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries & Walnuts in the side dishes
- Whole apples (small green & red ones) on the dessert bar
There was no apple soup, so I had Pumpkin Bisque instead.
Needless to say, my inner Applejack was very happily fed.Blue Star Topaz is my name

Re: My Little Pony XXXI: The Great and Powerful XXXie!
This is excellent
Out of curiosity, what story?
Hmm, you make a good point, although Applebuck Season kind of suggests AJ's biggest problem is dealing with her own stubbornness. At the same time, that doesn't seem quite to the scale of some of the other complications that her friends have, and it's only really come up in that one episode.
I guess on that note, I would like to see them do something more with AJ, either to go on with the farm potentially needing money or something new; I don't know if I have a preference, but I would like to see some development.This Machine Surrounds Hate And Forces It To Surrender
