No, they said in an e-mail announcement that it would be in November, we just don't know which weekend.

I don't know - though I'm sure I could figure out a set - but most acronyms that I think of as such are also initalisms (which means they are formed of the first letter of each word). I can't, off the top of my head, think of any acronym that uses the entirety of any of its component words.

hock?

the way horses walk is analogous to you on your tippy toes. the equivalent of her heel is underneath her when it would normally be well off the ground.

I think what it is is that she's on her knees sitting on her hooves, but the artist didn't draw a separation between her thigh and calf, so her legs look blobby. Really cool lighting effects though.

Well, uh, I'm kinda on ask-strike since my drawing for the answer to the bananas question hasn't been posted. But I also didn't want to repost the image, 'cause shortly after I drew that one, somelich ended up upsetting the entire thread in an action that involved the pony I drew.

You made a drawing for an ask? I don't recall seeing it...

I apologize if missing it upset you, PM I guess?

Was it a supply ship? That means it's provisioning an already existing base and you can follow it without shooting it down to find the base.

If it's any other type of ship, it means they're in the process of creating a new base. Depending on the ship type, they could be scouting for a location or part of the landing group that is actually putting up the base. I think shooting them down can stall or even prevent the creation of the base, though eventually they'll get it put up and you'll have to find it and take it down.


Oh, ponythread, right, it gets confusing sometimes. Well then, have a pony.

Um, if I still remember correctly from when I occasionally helped care for horses, real horse brush looks like this (heavy duty, metal) or this (rubber). Both are used to clean hard-working horses, something fitting AJ. The one on the picture seems to be fine coat care comb, something more fitting Rarity or Twilight than AJ

S3 clip said Saturday, Hasbro stated they will announce it 4 weeks before actual day. Which so far leaves only 2 last weekends, unless they lied. QED.

No problem, these threads move faster than a speeding four-legged mammal that may or may not have wings and/or horns. Things get missed, so I sent off a PM. Doesn't help that I'm one of the lesserly-active folks around the thread.

'Sides, I'm an Art Historian. If something doesn't offend me on some level, that offends me.

That's because he doesn't mean acronym, he means portmanteau.

To paraphrase that famous quote, Maxtronaut, with regards to acronym "you keep using that word. It does not mean what you think it means..."

The former is a word made up of the initials of other words (e.g. "Aotrs"), and a portmanteau is a word made up by combining two (or more) other words - as is the case commonly used in shipping, such as here.

Funnily enough, I have been ruminating on crawlingly dead (pun unitended) the thread seems lately. I assume this is due to the seperate RPG thread at least in part; though I suspect that the absense of Thanqol and SiuiS plays a large part in that too...

I saved the pic, if I remember at all. It didn't have the tumblry question at the top though, so I wasn't sure if it was intended as an answer or just a drawing.

But, yeah. People stopped answering questions so people stopped asking questions. I think.
