Huh, if Shining's magic was only now countered by Sombra, why wasn't he helping Cadance previously?

Assuming the second song is in the first episode we basically are only missing a final cliffhanger scene now I think.

Given the arc of the first episode was pretty clear with from any number of the things... but yeah.

I like my spoiler policy. I read summaries, I don't watch clips, but I feel free to read all spoilers in this thread. I get the shadows cast by the spoilers xD

So what do you think happens in the season premiere then?

Unrelated, but best villain team-up (no S3 spoilers) right here

Hmm. Well.

They go to the crystal empire with cadance and shining, and shining is remarkably incompetent in the face of king sombra being some kind of jerk.

That's not a bad one actually. Though I'll stick with just plain old not caring. I find real spoilers so much rarer and just plain not there most of the time. Like we now can know most of one part of a two parter... but know nothing of the second. Yours isn't bad though

Then again I'd probably like any policy that would obviate the silver buttons of doom.

[Maxtronaut]

Guys.

Guys.

Hey, Guys.

Buy this game. You will not regret your decision to do so.

Oh, it seems Doctor Who is canon now with the pony universe.

[BlasTech]

Buy is a bit of a misleading word, because it's free. Just go download it.

Been playing it a fair bit, I just got Pinkie Pie back in town. So far it seems rather vanilla city building; put buildings down, staff them with ponies, collect bits. You level the ponies up by playing minigames, higher levels equate to more profitable jobs I think.

Anywhoo, it's definitely fulfilling my OCD citybuilding needs, and I like both the music and the fact they have the real VA's doing the character voices. Not sure about longevity though and I really want the android version to come out so I can play it on my tablet rather than the dinky iphone screen.

Did you get the book shop and hat shop yet? They have much longer timers, which makes opening it up once a day to collect around 1000 coins and buying stuff/playing one round of minigames totally viable. I assume the later buildings have even longer timers, making it more of a once a day skinner box with ponies than anything else.

Oh and I'm in process of making a gameloft account because I need friends so I can buy Scootaloo. Ironically, Scootaloo can only be purchased with the friendship currency. Poor dear.

Edit: and done. Anarion55 if you want to add me on gameloft.

Please, canon Twilight not only was defeated by mooks, pretty much every time she managed to defeat any obstacle it was after reading something like "How to cheat out way out of wet paper bag instead of actually fighting - for dummy purple unicorns". Name one instance where Twilight resolves anything without help of books or some friend basically solving it for her. If anything, all three independent attempts of solving in S3 horrifically backfired.

Ahem, I give you: The Main Six in a all-line WoD game, with backrounds!

Spoiler

Twilight, after digging deep into the Canterlot Archives, manages to track down one of Starswirls personal writings. However, she notices something...odd: Little snippits involving something called the "Mysterium" peppered in amongst otherwise normal letters. Before she knows it, she's a full-blown Obrimos.

Rarity's grace led to her end, as a "dragon" wished for her to be a jewel in his hoard. To be exact, she ended up excaping as a Fairest of the Treasured Kith. To be frank, she's taken it well, besides when Spike is around. To her shock (and mild amusment), her friends thought she was on a short leave to Canterlot the whole time she was in the flaming furnace of the dragons lair.

Applejack has a pretty normal route to magical-creaturehood. Big Mac was out at a week-long fair, and it was up to her to watch over the fields. Unfortunatly, while she has had her fair experiance with Everfree beasts, her first encounter with a vampire ended up being her last. Now a Gangrel with no little confusion about her currant situation, she's taken up being "sick" and coming out to buck apples at night.

While she vaugly understands what she is, and has worked out a "agreement" with Betsy and the other cattle of SAA to lend some blood to fill a pail every other week, she's prepared to go off to Zecora and see what she can do. At the moment, she is on her way to being a literal Shepherds.


Fluttershy had the strangest of nights.

I mean, ponies just don't black out while walking in the Everfree, right? I mean, some do, but they do not find there way back home. The only other pony Fluttershy knows who has a tendancy to have blackouts like that was her uncle Stormheart, who, dispite his name, was nice and friendly, if slightly off. Perhapes it would be worth tracking him down to see if it's a issue of genetics.


Pinkie Pie is a lucky punk. She was told to bake a cake with a opening so that she could jump out of it, but she got the order mixed up and baked herself in the cake. But she lived, because Fate is a sucker for slapstick. Well, a talking bag of flour thats actualy made of tiny white maggots that each sound like a pony she knows showed up after she somehow survived, but he's gone all silent on her after she threw him a party.

Actualy, Apple Bloom claims to have saw a bunch of ghosts in a forgotten village in the Everfree, but it sounds all sunny and stuff. What could possibly go wrong?


Rainbow Dash...is a Hunter. Turns out that she signed the wrong form in the mail: what she thought was a invite to a Wonderbolt's conferance was in fact a invite to a secret order that protects ponykind. Before she knew it, she was in a small tent in the middle of the Samara.


Also, on Zecora: Apple Bloom once asked her how she knew so much about the world. She replied:

To ask of the ways death had died, the birth of a Ulgan is but a lie.

I cannot rhyme, but one can get the point.

Argh, I just got yet another fan fic idea! And it even looks like the concept might not have been done before (based on a quick search), which is amazing if true.

What's Fluttershy? (I'm thinking Werewolf.) Actually what's Pinkie supposed to be as well.

Because I'm most familiar with Changling here's what I think they'd be as each changling type

Twilight: Wizend

Fluttershy: Beast

Rarity: Fairest

Pinkie Pie: Darkling

Rainbow Dash: Elemental

Applejack: Ogre

[Weimann]

So something that struck me.

BronyCon: The Documentary has changed its name to "Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony". My first reaction was that the subtitle was a bit unwieldy, but then I realised it was more than than: it was actually wrong.

Let's look at this. It begins with "Bronies", fair enough. The subtitle then goes on to clarify this term. So bronies are the "Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans" of My Little Pony.

My first reaction is to leave out "Extremely"; it's an unnecessary amplifier that makes the title sound garish and sensationalist, like it can't stand on its own but has to shout to convince the audience to pay attention. The next words are "Unexpected" and "Adult". "Unexpected" is... debatable, but "Adult" is, in my head, flat out false. While that may describe the public image of the bronies, I feel that it excludes many, for example the intended audience of the show. I ask, is not enjoying My Little Pony enough to make one a brony? Does one have to be "Adult" as well?

If I get to have my ways, which I don't, but if I could, I'd have changed the title to "Bronies: The Fans of My Little Pony". Because in my head, that's all there is to it.

I've got the carrot farm and the bookstore, but no hat shop yet. I won't be making a gameloft account until the android version comes out, but I'll look you up when I do ^^

Any idea on what you use harmony shards for? I keep feeding laughter ones to the shrine but only get about 5 bits at a time. Don't want to use them all up in case of parasprite attack.

Flutter's is a Werewolf with relations in the Storm Lord tribe, albet one with no idea about her initate powers.


Pinkie is a Sin-Eater of the Forgotten...whatever that series calles there classes. Anyway, the evil sack of flour was her Geist, but Pinkie out-crazied it and now sits very still in Sugercube Corner.

Nope. I am entirely backed up by science. We've done studies. And, as the Aotrs has been a functional organisation for over two thousand five hundred years, we have commissioned a LOT of studies.

And they have all pointed to the superiority of the Spirit-Bound Lich over all other forms of Undead (and forms of life, come to that).

It's SCIENCE. I'm totally justified.

Also, the fact that in the same post as you corrected Pokonic's linguistic mistakes, you made one of your own (it's biased) is hilarious.

To be fair, Twilight was implied to have just spent an extended period of time studying the Ursa Minor, so I'm not sure if that would count as succeeding sans books.

Big Mac is right you need to check the description. In general NEVER trust a comic book cover to have more then a tertiary relationship with the content in this era. Here its evidently not even that, just a great mythology gag.

Ah, english, how I loath thee.

Applejack as a vampire and Rarity as a Changeling? That's....interesting.

Personally, I'd shuffle it a bit. Rarity fits too well with the blood-suckers, Applejack and the apple family make a great pack of werewolves, (especially with the whole granny smith, zap apples, timberwolves thing), and Fluttershy would make a pretty good changeling (Taken by a Fae because she is pretty and ornamental and won't make any irritating noises? To the Fae, she would be a perfectly adorable decoration, or a pretty little servant, or even an exhibit in a glass cage, like a pinned butterfly).

Edit - I doubt very strongly the comics will be a source of show-canon, rather their own thing.
More importantly, it's just a limited edition cover, not anything to do with the contents of the book.

Well, Rarity is the perfect Fairest, and whats more fitting for a pony that can find gems to spend a few....daycycles as a gem? Also, as a bonus, her Fetch was actualy getting increadably popular up in Canterlot because it forgot Rarity had friends, hence no need to spend time away from Fancy-Pants related activites. As such, she comes back not only emotionaly broken, but with a distinct fear of dragons and being forced between equaly viable paths.


But Applejack's and Fluttershy's situations are nigh-interchangable, realy. Flutters developing a taste for her animal friends and the Apples being Werewolfs, or at least Kinsfolk, are both options. However, I would like to think that Applebloom, at the very least, would be moderatly supernaturaly aware if we go with the idea that something akin to The Story of The Blanks happened at some time, and the Vampire gameline, strangely enough, mix's better with Geist than Werewolf's.
