My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!

Has everypony seen the announcement for the new Season 3 DVD preorders?

Season 3 spoilers of course.

So, Cadence is sparkly on the cover, we can see some tall spires in the background and the foreground is a icy or possibly crystal material, so it seems that the crystal empire could be named for the terrain where it sits and the construction of its buildings.

Of course, the mane 6 also have new hairstyles. I like Twilight's ponytail, not really a fan of Dash's slicked up hair. Others are okay.

Interesting. I don't have a spare tab unfortunately, but this is doing a good job of whetting appetites regardless.

But if people could see it I couldn't claim that I made it.

The joke was that I could see a broken image tag, or that there was something showing, but the three hours to poorly shop something on my phone isn't worth it. You beat me.

Alternately, you coul make an avatar that's a tan square. That'd show me.

A green glass tube begins to hiss, before the edges dissolve like time-lapsed ice. A roiling column of steam or fog collapses now, without a mold, and a bipedal form falls to all fours, before slowly walking - or perhaps slumping - off the platform.

The same hiss and the same melting occurs for meters around, as more and more ponies, most of them grey-scale, stumble about in confusion. There is a soft noise as a pony clears its throat, and the two most distinct of the new arrivals move toward the noise. One stretches her shoulders and rolls her neck. The other flexes and pops his angular jaw. Both stop at the same point, and stand at attention.

You know your mission? Your orders?

Two asynchronous nods.

Good. Then go with the Moon's blessing. You are dismissed.

It's Anti-Discord! Not only is disharmony undesirable, so is dictatorship and complete order! In short, brainwashing is bad no matter the ends and you should feel bad.

...how am I the first person to think of that? Heck, they're even lightened (c.f. Discord-darkening).

Hmmm.... possible I'll give it that.

However that strikes me as being perhaps slightly more ambiguous then the show wishes to be.

That's just because you're blind to their language. I'm pretty sure damaged plants emit pheromones to warn other plants. It's a bit like screaming, kinda.

That's the joy of being a predator. I'll eat anything I can kill except a human. And that's because humans are TERIBLE for you. And because I don't want to be eaten by humans. Anything else? Sure, cool. Humans? Eww.

Also, it should be pointed out that plants don't have a nervous system. Their screams could be chemically similar to a cut human releasing the scent I blood and adipose.

[OracleofWuffing]

Hey, um, so since I've got to get Linux on that guy's netbook anyways, anyone got any ideas for a wallpaper/login background I could chuck in to force him to tolerate? He doesn't actively hate the series, but he constantly expresses disappointment in my watching it. The more I can sour this, the better.

"responds to damage" is not the same as "pain"

[DigoDragon]

Ditto. If we're going to make a ponyfied parody of West Side Story, it should, nay, must be as ridiculous as possible.

I agree! (3-hit combo)

LOL, oh it's too early in the moring... first thought when I saw her cutie mark was that ther talent was Devo.

Really? Huh, just never saw a flavor you liked or...?

ogawd my poor pancreas!
thankfully i have learned to always bring a couple spares with me to work in case of just such a thing happening

How do you even install them?

I was playing Pony Fantasy 6 last night and ended up curbstomping Discord at his own game. >_>
I'm at the part where Discord attacks Neighshe and you make 3 teams to defend the esper. The battle was going alright, despite losing Twilight in a combat-locked series of 5 battles in a row. Ugh. It's when I got to Discord that the game just out right cheated.

I understand Discord is the spirit of chaos, but when he casts a regular spell and I have "Unicorn" up, it should work as advertised. Nope, didn't, and furthermore the game kept making my phoenix downs fail on reviving Trixie after he hit her 3 times in a row. ...okay, two can play the game of life chaos.
Did an "on-the-fly" edit of two hex codes with the emulator console and had Trixie back up with full health and infinite MP. I G&PT'd his scaley cheatin' behind with fire spells until hie cried HAX and went home.

Hahaha... pot kettle black my friend.

Assuming that's not solely cover art.
Eh, we'll find out eventually. What I want to know is if S3 will have a strong, reoccuring villain. If it's a continuous arc season, I think a lasting villain will be perfect for the show

...This is why anthropomorphic food always creeped me out.

There was an episode of... The Dark Side I believe that turned out like that. Some lady was trying to go on a diet and was given a pair of glasses and earmuffs that made her see her food as anthropomorphic. Nightmare fuel in my mind. *Shiver*

[otakuryoga]

Not alive I won't be. I suppose freshly picked vegetables are still alive, but they don't show signs of feeling pain.

so you would eat something that is capable of holding an intelligent conversation with you so long as it isn't holding that conversation RIGHT THEN?
Note to Self: if visiting tvtyrants house do NOT fall asleep!

oh i had a quick change system installed before season 2 started..was basically a necessity--ESPECIALLY for the scene in Best Pet where they show Fluttershy reacting to dash saying she wants a pet(destroys a pancreas every time)
easy as changing the batteries in a remote now

Note to Self: if visiting tvtyrants house do NOT fall asleep!

The way I see it, if you look to closely at the whole concept of food you risk realising the utter horror of biological life. Especially once you discard the weird idea that only things that can talk back in your own language count.

Unless becoming a tree is literally an option for you, you have to learn to compartmentalise that stuff.

You could take that horror and try to live as a vegan, or a fruitarian I suppose, but I always disagreed with that as a meaningful choice as it seems to me to be a rejection of the natural world, not an embracing of it. Not that my weird opinions on it phased my Vegan friend for a moment, of course.

But yes, anthropomorphic food items are weird.

Hahaha! That's fantastic.


On the subject of anthropomorphic food, I saw an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball the other day. First time watching it, it's a pretty good show.

On the episode I watched there was an anthropomorphic piece of toast.

He was eating a sandwich.

So, uh, isn't it time for next topic suggestions? Are we finally going with "Stashing ponythreads around in case of pony emergency"?

I see this becoming a lot of people's headcanon. Especially because when a "Bon-Bon," painted toy comes out with a different name (because we know Hasbro lost that trademark) everyone can just say its one of her sisters.

I would eat a human if it came down to survival and they were already dead. So I guess yes?

Yes please. Stashing Ponythreads around in case of Pony Emergency is my vote.

Pinkie Pie and Bob-Bon have the same powers, only Bon-Bon adds ventriloquism to that arsenal.

That, or Lyra is a mad scientist and made clones of her marefriend, with sexy results.

Oh that was awesome. I was wondering at the end why they didn't just look for Lyra and get her to find the real Bon-Bon, but then I realized that if there are that many Bon-Bons, the number of fake Lyra's is nigh-infinite.
