So, before an Admin or Mod comes in and takes our phread away or move it somewhere else, I tought it would be best to open a new phread here to discuss Brony & Pony related topics.
Brony Art phread can be found somewhere else. We need someone to start this.
Friendship is a Fan Fic phread is not found anywhere. Perhaps you can start one?
Why not make an entire Brony sub-forum?
The more forums/boards we have, then the more the staff have to watch. No offense, but I don't relish making my workload any bigger than it already is.
If we add another board, then we have to take into consideration if the "traffic flow" for that new board justifies us having it. If people don't see it, use it, etc., then it just sits there and doesn't get used, then why have it?
So we don't talk directly about the show here, but we talk about anything else related to loving and tolerating the crap outta stuff?
Sure, sounds good, but I'd expect a lot of people to get confused between the two threads.
Also, I have "Winter Wrap Up" stuck in my head, as I have the past four days. It's beginning to bug me.
I've been listening since episode one and been thinking about the reoccuring question of who your guests think the best pony is. I'm going to have to say there isn't one. At least not that has been presented yet. Sure, having favorites is fine. I am partial to Flutter Shy of the main cast, but I also love Vinyl Scratch and Scootaloo (if only for her name and Evinrude wings). But can there be a "best" pony? Well, if you go by personality, then no. They are all so different that they can't be compared. They all have their special traits that distinguish them from the other ponies and I don't think you can say one is better than the other.
Now, and arguement could be had for Twighlight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. Twighlight was the mystical 6th element of harmony in Ep. 2. Going by traditional storytelling, any time you combine elements of any power, the result is always a power greater than any one single element. The whole "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" idea. The counter point is that her element couldn't be discovered without ALL of her other friends there too, so you could call in to question her power being so great. Then again, Princes Celestia did mention how great her raw ability was in the Cutie Mark Chronicles. But that brings me to Rainbow Dash. Twighlight was only able to get her cutie mark after the sonic rainboom. Same as the rest of the group. So you could argue that the results of the rainboom makes Rainbow Dash the best. The counter point to that is either it's a massive coincedence, or Princes Trollest.... I mean Celestia had some scheming plan in place all along. So does this mean that Celestia is actually the the best pony?
EDIT: IDEAAAA :O There needs to be a poll of pony lovings, I'd make one but I don't know all the extra ponies. =>.>=
I think Its Ditsy Doo actually. :orhorse: However, none of the Background ponies have official toys yet.
Finally, I was talking on the phone with a friend who had seen it all already. He asked something about it, and told me to give it another shot and watch ep3 before I give up on it. I did that, and never looked back.
I have a question.
What pony is everyone most like? What pony best reflects yourself? Is she your favorite? Why/why not?
I have a question.
What pony is everyone most like? What pony best reflects yourself? Is she your favorite? Why/why not?
I think I'm most like Pinkie Pie. I've got a really random personality, I smile a lot (granted it's not before 10:30) and I like to make others smile. I'm pretty gleeful overall, and I really do like singing to myself. Of course, there are some differences as well. I'm not very social at all, which is what Pinkie is rather skilled at. While that really is a major gap, I'm still the most like her.
However, she is not my favorite pony (though easily places herself in second). That space will always be reserved for Applejack.

Pretty much that, other than Applejack being my favorite. She and Pinkie and tied for me ;).

NAREIIIIII CURSE YOU AGAIN I just opened that page in the middle of a coffeeshop! :D Now everyone in a ten-table vicinity knows I watch My Little Pony, rofl.
It's possible Kobuk. Come on. Join us. Sit down on the haybale and watch a few episode. It only hurts a little at first then it's all milk and honey and oats.
Ponyville waits for you Kobuk. Come on in. ;)
In all honesty, Kobuk, everyone is confused by this when they're looking in from the outside. But once they give it a chance and keep an open mind and watch a few episodes, they find out what all the fuss is about. :)Thats very true. Besides you could play the Where's Waldo game in spotting Background ponies. You're a Dr. Who fan So you could try spotting all the showings of Dr. Whooves.
Due to his time-based cutie mark, and spiky hair (similar to that of actor David Tennant), he resembles the titular character in the British television show Doctor Who. Doctor Whooves' model was also given wings re-used as a pegasus in the episode Sonic Rainboom, as contestant number 5. However, the earth pony has a mature male voice, while the pegasus pony he has a youthful boy voice. In the episode Over a Barrel a younger version of him appears with a hat, and hits a few barrels.
Join us, Kobuk. Join us. Join us in our bronydom. Experience the love and tolerance. All it takes is a few episodes, and you will understand all. Join us.Oh I hadn't noticed this line from Arb, but it had to be given attention because it's just so cool. 20% cooler to be exact.
(By the way, Ziel posted this a while ago: http://d.facdn.net/art/deerock-gorilla/1310174857.deerock-gorilla_deerock_with_applejack___rainbow_dash.jpg) :D
I guess I don't mind if there are. I can think of worse things to be brainwashed into. :D
Tongue-in-cheek question: Has anyone ever wondered if there are subliminal messages in this show brainwashing us into love and tolerance and an alarming obsession with neon-colored ponies?What? Brainwashing? Nah!
I guess I don't mind if there are. I can think of worse things to be brainwashed into. :D
Ok, so I realized something yesterday when explaining the personalities of each main ponie to my mate yesterday as if it were nothing when discussing possible birthday cake ideas for our oldest daughter. I'm way too deep in this pony thing for my own good. :D
I must admit I feel the magnetism of these cute little ponies. Such sweetness
and goodness is hard to resist. (:

Too bad Furtopia didnt get taken over by Ponies before April Fool's, because it would've been awesome to have Furtopia become Ponytopia(A much better, rainbow filled hooftopia).:D It's already been taken over! And in a much more sunny and fun way! Though I think it'd be neat to put up a few rainbows here and there.
It is now the near future. I have finished the series. Things are otherwise uneventful in this regard.
...I'm not even sure if the above was notable enough to be worth making a post about, to be honest.
Lets add some culture to this thread with great art.

@RY: Any specific thoughts now that the series is over?
Has anyone seen the most recent Equestria Daily (http://www.equestriadaily.com/) header image/theme? My non-pony family is over to visit right now, but I still SQUEE'd a little! I think Derpy also just shot up a few ranks for me.

Wow, that's weird. I was just looking up this soundboard after hearing it mentioned on an old episode of Bronyville. I closed the window and refreshed Furtopia to find... this! :D
And for the record, I just spent 5 minutes playing with all the cleaned-up Flutterrage voices :3

I also spent a good deal of the season thinking that Rainbow Dash was male. I had a bit of cognitive whiplash when I heard the pronoun "her" being used in reference to that character.
"Art of the Dress" is loosely taken from "Putting it Together", a song by Stephen Sondheim for his musical "Sunday in the Park with George"!
[5 p.m. CST, 4 p.m. Equestrian] An enormous banner featuring Rainbow Dash in a patriotic pose has been illegally draped on the front of the White House during the night, sources in the capitol say.
Press releases and independent reporting from multiple sources has confirmed the vandalism, which has since been removed by White House staff. As was previously suspected by capitol officials, the radical group Equestrian Evangelists did indeed claim responsibility for the act early this morning.
"The American government has forced our hoof," the press release read in part. "This is but one small step in the direction of the spreading of the gospel of the one and true best pony."
"We will not stop until this country is 20% cooler than it is right now," the release says.
Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle are having a cupcake party next to me right now. (My daughter has plastic cupcakes and a couple of older My Little Ponies that we got from ebay. She's renamed them for the FiM characters based on their body colors. Mostly they're discussing which pony gets which cupcake. It's cute.)NO! Not baked goods! Baked BADS!
NO! Not baked goods! Baked BADS!
Pretty much :D!
Landrav has linked me lots of pony cards. I love the ones by this person :D!
http://kitonin.deviantart.com/gallery/
The bad news is that our girl picked out a Disney Princess themed cake. The good news is that one of her friends had an MLP birthday party around the same time. When my mate went gift shopping for pony stuff, she also picked up a pack of stickers for me. Not sure what I'll do with them yet, but it's the mane 6, Princess Celestia, their cutie marks, and Spike. :POk, so I realized something yesterday when explaining the personalities of each main ponie to my mate yesterday as if it were nothing when discussing possible birthday cake ideas for our oldest daughter. I'm way too deep in this pony thing for my own good. :D
You do realise, that if you go with a Pony cake you'll have to share pictures?
(With all personal information edited out, of course.)
You know what?
This is just ridiculous.
I'm gonna watch it.

Dibs on the Applejack socks.
Dang! My store hasn't got those yet!
My daughter is turning four this week and has requested a cake with all the six main characters' cutie marks on it. It should be a cheerful, colorful cake. We've also ordered the Pinkie Pie pinata for her party.
At first it was a bit weird that the representation of males is much lower than I was used to. Now, however, I don't notice it until someone brings it up. I really appreciate that they were able to write strong enough characters that it doesn't matter.
A friend took a picture of these and put them on facebook. She said they were at target in the dollar bin :o!What, no Fluttershy? Must have been all sold out. :P

One thing that is being posted about on the FB page is that the only mens shirts are of Spike or Rainbowdash. Everything else is in girls/womens sizes. :(

In related news, a link was posted on the MLP facebook page to http://www.welovefine.com/ that sells pony attire. Only it seems all the bronies have crashed their server for the third or fourth time now with all the traffic from there and EqD, so I haven't actually seen what the site holds.

Oh no, a cartoon primarily marketed (past and current) to little girls doesn't have shirts in dudes sizes? A cartoon marketed (past and present) to little girls showing strong, interesting, female characters and relatively 1 dimensional guy characters, WHAT EVER SHALL WE DO.That's what I'm saying! Know your fan base! :D
THINK ABOUT THE MENZ EVERYONE.

I'm watching episode 2 and....
Was there just a musical number??
And a manticore?
I'm still giving it until episode 4.
Landrav, was there a reason you quoted me? Jes askin'.
I was being sarcastic since you guys seemed so up in arms about it. If you weren't really, I apologize. It was a cranky!TCD post.
As far as stuff....I dunno. Probably. I was eyeballing those socks earlier.
I ran this page through a proxy, and now I realize there was an image.

This reminded me of the Borg. The similarity scares me.
Looks like we've got a couple more in our ranks. I can't believe it, but I feel that I'm becoming part of Leidt's movement...This is much different than that. He's wanting to take over with militant force. We're all about love, toleraance, kindness and friendship.
We're more like hippies.
I don't see why not.We're more like hippies.
Hypothetically, if I were listening to Bob Marley just now, whilst contemplating what it means for someone to have a soul (for a certain thread here) and our oneness with the Universe, would that include me in those ranks? Strictly hypothetically speaking, man... (:

That is an epic cake! Course if I got one it'd have many others. Like an hourglass, bubbles, a music symbol, a wand with a flourish of magic. :DThat cake would have to be huge if you started including all the background characters. Mmmmm.... icing. *drools*
I'm immune to all this. Mostly because I don't get the channel the show comes on. ;)

Equestria Daily just posted this!!!
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/season-2-image.html
You read right in that link, SEASON 2!
Honestly, if I were Jayson, I would be having a field day with this. The bronies (myself included) are so ravenous for new official content that one little screencap sends us all into a tizzy. It's equal parts sad, cute, and hilarious.
Also, Colbert gave us a shoutout.:D I was watching the Brony Show when that happened! That was hilarious. Seconds after he said it there were youtube videos of it up. Yay for cellphone video cameras!
Breaking News! Spike has been seen holding a book in a screenshot from the second season. Imagine the possibilities!
I love Equestria Daily.
Thank you for this.:D
But it wasn't Cleverbot that said it. It was the user. :PQuoteThank you for this.:D
Thats the funniest part of the entire exchange!
I think my favorite character is Applejack, because the episodes focusing on her are the funniest. Plus it's rare for voice actors to do a Southern accent convincingly. I was surprised that Applejack's VA is actually from Canada!
Hey Kess, what episode are you on at this point?
2LT liedt here, just letting my Bronie pals know that I've returned and will be getting back into my saddle in a couple days. I also wanted to remind you all that I'll be hosting the Ungulates Unite panel at IFC this year; at the sane panel we'll be discussing how much the bronie/pony movement has effected the fandom and put hoofers on the map.[color]
its the latter. We'll be discussing the bronie movement at the UU panel. It will also be the only panel at the whole con with any references to mlp. So we should get a little bleed over from that group and I'll have a captive audiance to spread the Ungulate propaganda to.

Aw, Ziel, I didn't mean to getcha down. *hugs!*
What you need is a Pinkie Pie-style song...
Ziel, why are you down?
Please don't frown!
Look around,
All your friends are in town!
[to be sung at 1,000 bpm]
I'd like most of all for Applejack to get her own song. Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie (especially Pinkie Pie) have all gotten their own songs. Neither Applejack nor Rainbow Dash have their own songs.

Your best bet is to see if you can contact the shirt designer, main store here: http://bronies.spreadshirt.com/
Ask if you can request something similar for AJ.
Pony shirts are very hit-or-miss. And most of the good designs are fan-made like these. You'd just need to find somebody willing to put the design together.
I think it will pop, leaving mostly good designers still in business. With the wealth of people looking and how fast word spreads, it's not likely many good designers will get lost in the shuffle.

Yeah. I was a little disappointed to hear it at first. But I think by this point, the characters are pretty well developed now, so as long as the group keeps everybody in character it should be fine. Especially since she has the same awesome team working on it as before. I'm sure she got input for jokes and plot points and such from other members of the team for season 1.
And I like the different approach that the designer Landrav posted took. But some of them could use to be about 20% cooler.
For all those reasons and more, I'm really optimistic about the next season. From my understanding, Lauren Faust was the one who made all the final decisions about where Season 1 should go, but many parts of the production were autonomous and didn't revolve around her. At this page (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Episodes), you can see who authored each episode in Season 1; Lauren actually only wrote the pilot, and many of the best episodes were written by the other members of her team. And don't forget, she's still involved as a consulting producer.
And Hasbro itself seems to have a pretty good understanding of the brony community. They've been weirdly enlightened about the fact that their whole show has been uploaded to Youtube... it's a total copyright violation, and they could shut down all the people who upload episodes and create fan videos, but they let the fan-uploaded content stay in place because they understand how important it is to the fanbase. They monitor sites like Equestria Daily and ponychan, and they stay on top of the fan community to the point that they refer to the random background ponies by the names bronies have created for them. They even created an extended promo commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo) just for the brony community! In short, they seem super-connected to the fanbase and unlikely to misjudge the reasons we find the show so awesome.
Oh, by the way, do you know who the new producer is? Jayson Thiessen. He was the one who first discovered that the bronies were freaking out over Derpy Hooves's googly eyes, and he was so amused that he asked his staff to go back and give her derpy eyes in every unreleased episode. Yeah, I think the show's in pretty good hands. ;)
Too bad I won't get the chance to see Season 2 as it happens. :( Guys, when I get back in 8 months, I am going to marathon this season so hard. NO SPOILERS.
And I like the different approach that the designer Landrav posted took. But some of them could use to be about 20% cooler.
What a coincidence! There's another online store that uses some of the same shirt ideas, but makes them, IMO, about 20% cooler. ;)

Re: My hope for season two:
More Luna! More backstory! More musical parody!
So, I checked Equestria Daily not long ago...
Apparently Daniel Ingram posted on his facebook page that if he reached 3500 likes, he would post a previously unreleased song from season 1. I think he was somewhere right around 3000 when he posted that.
He's now closing in on 4400 likes, and fast. And his wall has been flooded with comments. I feel kinda bad for him actually.
But darn it, I hope he does pony up to his promise.
EDIT: In the time it took me to type that up, it has now passed 4400. I've refreshed the page a number of times now just to watch the number go up. I think it's jumped by at least a handful of likes every time I refresh.
The song is up but all it is a demo of "Hop Skip and Jump". It's slower and interesting but not what many Bronies were expecting.
Now, lets see how long it takes for this song to be remixed.
I've been debating in my mind over the CMC and my hopes for the next season. One thing that really bothered me at first about S1 is that they still don't have their cutie marks. On one hand, I feel like the CMC can't really exist if they get their cutie marks, which would be a loss of a rather entertaining story line. On the other hand, I feel like they could quickly run out of good material for them, and I would like to see them earn their cutie marks still, so that we can get some more non-cutie-mark centered stories about them.
Maybe over the course of the season, they can have three episodes spread out which each focus on one of the CMC finding their talent?
With as much as they showed how the CMC's have talents in some areas, it's a wonder they were able to go this long without earning one. From a writing material standpoint that is. Like when Sweety Bell started singing a part for Scootaloo to write into their song in Show Stoppers. I was almost doing a *headdesk* that she wasn't figuring out that's her special talent and kept insisting on doing the costumes. Granted, the writers I'm sure have their reasons for writing it that way, but that was almost just too close to them figuring things out to not actually do so.
I can't watch this anymore. Ponies is the Devil's show!It doesn't make ponies evil, it puts the devil on the path of reform by learning to live by love and tolorance. MLP is capable of saving even the lord of darkness from himself! :D
(http://sinfest.net/comikaze/comics/2011-08-11.gif)
Hmm, now that I think about it, are there FiM trading cards yet? I can see a quick buck for Hasbro if they get on this.
I'd rather have just plain cards. Or if they must make a game it should be with mini figurines. Or even better, figurines you can paint! Imagine how much a rare Rainbow Dash, unpainted, in the middle of doing a sonic rainboom, with like the burst of the rainbow just behind the in-flight Dash, would be worth on an open market?That would be awesome, but I think Hasbro would never go there. Not only would it be outside the target audience, but it would technically compete with the figurines they already produce. Not to mention, the majority of game-figure type stuff is done in their Wizards division, and they seem to screw up everything but D&D and Magic anyway (those, too, depending on who you ask).
I'd rather have just plain cards. Or if they must make a game it should be with mini figurines. Or even better, figurines you can paint!

Ahem. Anyway, I'm not much of a pure collector, so if I were to buy cards I'd probably want them to be a game. I have no idea what that game would look like, but I imagine it would borrow elements from some of the more successful CCGs out there.

I've never been into the whole trading cards and collectible card games thing. But I love playing cards (you know, the ones that use the traditional 52 card deck or the 48 card Pinochle deck). So I'd toy with the idea of getting MLP-themed playing cards. Perhaps have a different pony for each of the face cards, including some of the secondary and background ponies.
Are there enough ponies to do a unique, fleshed out pony character for each of 54 (including jokers) cards? The show doesn't have a lot of "filler" ponies, but I think there might be a few in "Art of the Dress" and the flying competition episode, among others; some of those ponies might have to be used...
EDIT: Found this early this morning. This is what I was trying to describe earlier in the figure I said I'd love to see.

EQD has brought to everyponies attention the creation of a fan made tabletop RPG based around the show.QuoteHmm, now that I think about it, are there FiM trading cards yet? I can see a quick buck for Hasbro if they get on this.
Or what about a MLP Collectible Card Game (CCG) ?
Yeah, yeah.. it's official - I like it.Welcome to the Brony herd.
Alright my new favorite episode is "A Bird in the Hoof." Seriously did not see that coming until the last minute. The whole episode my jaw was hanging open and I was thinking, "This is way too funny/sick to be a kid's show. This is like something I would write."I was kinda thinking that as well during that episode. I knew there had to be some trick to that bird before the end of it. And when he changed, I was like "Oh yeah! DUH!"
Yes I fear the pony cuteness has pulled me in too. :DHee hee. You're welcome friend. :)
I started watching while doing Kalo's new avatar. :orbunny:
First post in the official Pony thread.
Did anyone else see the parasprites and think "flying tribbles!"?
I now have a Twilight Sparkle figurine sitting on my TV.

Yeah, tribbles were the first thing I thought when I realized they multiplied!
Which figurine do you have?
I'm trying to find some that are show-accurate, more like a full-plastic sculpt, but none seem to be in my area. (Does anyone know if such figurines even exist?)
Not only did they screw up Celestia in the stores, but I've heard that none of the "official" MLP: FiM pony sets with A.J. include her hat.At Target I've seen lots of A.J.'s with hats but they mess up the color. I've yet to see an official A.J. with a brown hat.
I think I may have found a great Brony Conversion sequence for people to try out the series to see if they like it or not. Have them watch Episodes 1, 2, 11 and 14. The first two is so they are introduced properly to the mane 6, Episode 11 because Winter Wrap Up is just awesome and 14 because Suited for Success has a great story to it. If the mundane does not declare themselves a Brony by the end of that sequence, then they are unconvertible.

Pensivepony was the original MLP video poster. Her name is quite well known around Bronidom. You can find her YouTube channel HERE (http://www.youtube.com/user/pensivepony).
The latest "Original Life" By Jay Naylor mentions ponies! :DIt was good, but one of my favorite comic brony teases was from Broken Plot Device. Unfortunately it has a bit of harsh language in that one strip so I can't link to it. Which stinks because it's actually a light hearted fun comic.
https://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
Given some of the art by him, I think Mr. Naylor is a brony. ;)
Just looked that up, that was hilarious! :D But yeah, harsh language everypony, so be warned if you go looking for it.The latest "Original Life" By Jay Naylor mentions ponies! :DIt was good, but one of my favorite comic brony teases was from Broken Plot Device.

Sorry Kalo, but seeing that strip made me more annoyed than please to see the shout out.
Don't worry, we can go love and tolerate the crap out of Naylor without them. :PAn I'll still love and tolerate those who don't like Naylor of course.
Yay!

Still havent seen the series by the way,Ive had the whole series for weeks but havent got around to watching any of them yet...Choky... I don't know what to say to this. You don't know what you're missing out on.
HockeyRaven: You looking for colors based on the jockey's outfit colors? Or just random colors? Either way, I'll try to help out some. I'll take horses years 2011 to 1992, if no one minds. :goldgrin:
So, I think I am going to try writing a fanfic. Should I post it here or in one of the other subforums? Pony-themed, of course.I say put it in the artists section where the other stories are posted, but then make a post here with a link to the story so nopony misses it.
The finished pony creator is pretty cool! I re-tooled my pony, who I am now calling Windy Heart:

Cutie mark could be better, but I just yoinked it from a google image search for 'windy' :P

Looking forward to your story. :)
It’s a Celebration at Canterlot, and you’re invited! Catch two episodes of “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic” on DVD, exclusively at Target stores. We’re dreaming of a not-so-faraway land filled with princess ponies and magical adventures – what would you and your little ones do if you had the chance to visit Canterlot?
The more I get into it, the more the pony fandom reminds me of furry. It's an oddball group of very nice, very tolerant people who often startle me with their creativity.Quoted for truth.
I'm at Target now. Just got off work. The previously mentioned dvd has The Ticket Master and Suited for Success.
Landrav how does Kindles speech sound compared to windows Narrator? Due
to vision problems it would be easier to listen to stories than read them.
Narrator isn't real bad, but if Kindle is better and easier to use it might be
worth the investment.
Thanks for any advice on this. :orbunny:
It only took 15 pages of Brony goodness to finally start to get a little off topic too. That's better then any other phread in this entire site. Goes to show you that being a Brony is perhaps the best thing that could ever happen to anyone or to any site for that matter too.
Yeah we got a massive Princess Celestia cutout. Were a more brave man and had the room in my home I'd ask the store manager if I can have it when its all said and done. :DMaybe you could store it long enough to sell it on Ebay? :P
I own a button maker. I don't know why I didn't think of this a million years ago!

Those are great buttons.
Here is what you should do: every day wear one of them on your back pocket and switch them out routinely. If anyone asks, just say its your Cutie Mark and continue on with what you were doing.
Dang.... Why must Fluttershy's hair be so hard to style. Was planning to stick her up on the dash of my rig, but coming out of the box it looked more like it belonged on Pinkie Pie. :D I'm slowly working on it, but not sure a good way to style nylon doll hair to get it to settle down.I have heard some good ways to do it are to wash it with a tiny amount of a tangle free conditioner and comb it a great deal. I'd use a small comb to work the conditioner into the mane and tail and work it very very slowly. Rinse gently and keep combing it while letting it air dry.
Agreed. Also you should sell some on e-bay. I bet you'd make some cash. Advertise on Equestria Daily man! Spread the word! Cutie Marks For Sale! You'll make a killing with the foals. Plus you could expand into doing buttons of custom cutie marks. Ask somepony to submit it to you and then there you go! You could sell them in sets for a few dollars or individually for a buck. :)Here is what you should do: every day wear one of them on your back pocket and switch them out routinely.

Actually, you should wear 2 a day. A matching pair, one on each back pocket. :P

Just got done reading THIS FANFIC (https://docs.google.com/document/d/11KEpV4VTQE7CSbqjrqz7oUt2vUbnlozps21SxYooNbE/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CP_d0sQG#) and I gotta say I'm a little creeped out. :o
It's a tale of how Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon, as told from Luna's diary entries. Its quite well done and the ending is well worth the read.
Hm, good question. I should personally think that you'd be okay with charging, seeing as how SO MANY PEOPLE are taking pony designs and pony ideas and that sort of thing and using them to make tshirts without getting hit with a cease-and-desist from Hasbro. However, if you want to be sure you're not getting into trouble, I wouldn't charge.I concur. I mean Hot Topic is selling shirts with the MegaSweet wallpaper designs on them. Though there is some legal stuff going on since MegaSweet's art was stolen and submitted to HT without their permission, But according to the news at EQD the matter is being resolved and HT is willing to buy the designs legitamately and buy other designs from MegaSweet as well as compensate them for the sales of what has already been sold. I've yet to hear about any complaints from Hasbro on tthis matter, but if they are they're keeping it hush hush.
I mean, only speaking for the theoretical consequences with Hasbro.

Saw this over at EQD. A supernova was seen in the constellation Ursa Major. No reports yet about the whearabouts of Trixie but clearly shes practicing for her season 2 comeback.
For those of you following Past Sins, the final chapter has been posted to EqD: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/story-past-sins.html
Now the planets shall align, and bronies will live in harmony evermore. (I actually had 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' on speakers when I refreshed the page, and the timing of the song killed me! I'm still grinning)
Who all has been following this series? I have to admit it's not the best fanfic ever, but it's been entertaining
Furtopians, I would be willing to make buttons for you all free of charge :).And Shim was never heard from again as he was buried aalive under a wave of so many orders that not even his nimble cat reflexes could save him. :D
Rules: Pick 2. That's really it.
All I need to do is wait for a couple thousand more button backs to come. We ordered more just recently. :P Don't expect it to be in the next few days though.
Just PM me the details :)
Rules: Pick 2.
I didn't give two ~yay~ what anyone else thought about it.
Especially when they go oatmeal on it just to give reason for using the censor. :DI didn't give two ~yay~ what anyone else thought about it.
I feel compelled to comment that that is the best word censor ever. It cracks me up whenever the Bronyville guys have to put it in.

Something interesting they included. If you activate Both Lyra and Bon-Bon they hang out together. Bon-Bon follows Lyra around and at times they seem to be nuzzling.I'm guessing all of these are in Desktop Ponies, since Gilda isn't in the other? Had Lyra and Bon-Bon up on the Windows Ponies for a while now and they don't do anything together. Will try the other program again later when I have time.
Lyra will take a seat on her bench and call Bon-Bon over and she actually will respond. its very cool. I wonder if any others are like this with each other?
EDIT: Glida and Dash pair. Gilda follows Dash around and Dash makes her do the junior speedsters chant, which they recite together.

I cried at the end. Beautiful song and I think because of it I've just become a fan of A.J.
Excuse me I need to clear my eyes.

It will be mine... As soon as I double check a sizing question since ordering off We Love Fine and not a store shelf. I did try checking my local Hot Topic and they didn't have anything in. I looked on their website and the one Leidt posted would be the only one I'd think about getting, but Vinyl Scratch has always been my favorite pony of the whole show. Fluttershy was just my fave of the mane 6.
I'm gonna try to tune in to the Bronyville marathon podcast on Saturday (noon to midnight PST) as much as I can. Can't really do anything else special, but we do have the Hub in the drivers lounge at the distribution center I'm based out of. May try to watch it live there if all the stars in the galaxy line up and I'm able to actually be there and no one else is watching anything.I think it would be hilarious if you were in the middle of the show and some really big hairy bear of a trucker came in, reached up to the tv and instead of changing the channel turned it up and sat down to enjoy the ponies too. :D
At least you have pony loving friends. My mate is starting to to get annoyed with my obsession and refuses to watch them, and no one else I can talk pony to outside of this forumI feel your pain, my dad is pretty much reached his limit with my pony love.
Psst, guys, target the bronies. They have much more money and they'll spend a lot more of it.

i caught some of it late last night. They had someeone who works on the show drop by, but I don't know who she was.
*notices the thread move* Yay, we apparently have an MLP section here now. Behold the power of ponies! XD
PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE BRONIES THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO WATCH THIS LIVE. LET'S TRY TO REFRAIN FROM POSTING SPOILERS AT LEAST UNTIL THE ACTIVE THREAD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WATCH.
If you really feel like you need to post a spoiler, there's a way to hide it from accidental viewing so you have to hover your mouse over a spoiler alert to see the actual text. To see how, hover over the spoiler notice below in this post for instructions.Spoiler: show

Since we have a sub-forum now, I would suggest that we create a new 'spoiler' thread for discussing the happenings of the new season. This way regular pony discussion can continue in the general thread, and people can easily avoid spoilers by avoiding the spoiler thread. I say we start with a single thread and see how far the discussion gets. We may choose to re-make a new spoiler thread whenever the current one seems to mature (could be a new one per episode, or have one exist over a few episodes until it gets unwieldy.
But we know discussion of the new eps will be inevitable. Might as well contain it to a location that's easy for people to avoid. Spoiler tags are too easy/tempting to mouse over. some of us have low will-power >.>
Try to be careful so as to not create too many spoiler and/or duplicate threads. I don't relish having to move, lock, etc. so many threads if there's a ton of duplicity.
Try to be careful so as to not create too many spoiler and/or duplicate threads. I don't relish having to move, lock, etc. so many threads if there's a ton of duplicity.
I figured you'd say something like this.
But the way I see it, even if we created a new thread each week to discuss each episode individually as they go along, this is not creating duplicate threads. Each new episode is very different from the last, and should be a valid 'new topic' and not count as a duplicate. If it were done like this, the threads would just be '<ep 1 title> discussion' and '<ep 2 title> discussion', etc.
Stripping it down to basic concepts, I don't see how this is any different than the Conventions section having separate threads for discussing each different convention within the same calendar year. /rant about forum technicalities that won't even be an issue cause we'll probably just lump it all into one continuous thread anyhow
~~~~~~~~
I do want to thank the staff for putting this section here (I recall it being mentioned early on and being ignored initially because nobody realized it would get as big as it did) :D
It will help keep everything organized/contained a little better.
Though it does play right into Liedt's hooves, doesn't it? :P
I personally like the idea of just having one phread with the entire season on it. That way as the season goes on, the phread will be organic and move along with the show. If someone wants to see comments from an earlier episode, they just have to turn back a page or two to find it.
Perhaps a clever pony (Like Kaloyan Alett since he's a Mod) can make a note on the first post of every page which episodes are covered on that particular page. Something like this at the top of the actual post:
##Brony Note: This page covers discussion on Episodes 1 through 5##
using a highly visible color like Yellow would be a good thing too.
You're making it more difficult then it has to be. Just a simple blurb at the top of the page is all that is needed. Remember that although the discussion will be organic there might be some non-linear discussion, such as somepony that saw an episode a week or two late and is discusing thoughts of Episode 3 when the rest of us are talking about #5. Just something that looks like this is all we need:
## This is page 5, we are discussing episodes 4, 5 and 2.
See what I did there? i was non-linear but made it simple enough for anypony to understand what is on that page.
Just offering up an opinion as I’ve seen this sort of thing on other forums…
If you go with a thread per episode method, then there should be an episode dedicated sub-forum / sub-folder.
There are a few internet radio forums that use a (thread per episode method) and the episode threads monopolize 95% of the board,
Making other non-episode specific threads hard to read / find.
Something you should all keep in mind...
Pony starts with a P,
Thread as in message thread does not.
Lets Ponify the word and use Phread for now on.

Y'all say know right now, but just you wait, like I said back on January 9th when I brought Brony into Furtopia: it will grow on you.I don't think so. This is different from liking the show or occasionally saying "Everypony". This is beyond silly to me. Ph is a type of "Ffff" sound whereas "Thread" begins with "Th". They may sound close but in saying and spelling they are very different. Its beyond silly and goes into the asinine.

I wonder how long it takes for the first episode to be online.. Heh..It'll be airing on the HUB at 7 am EST/6 am CST. (Thats central, where I am. *squee*)
I forgot commercials still exist with network shows... :P
AHHH get back to the show!!!
No coffee and donuts for me. Or pancakes or any real breakfast food. Those of us who've been up all night in the mare-athons are in no mood for such stuff... I'm gonna fix a bacon cheese burger and fries and then take my hindquarters to bed.I forgot commercials still exist with network shows... :P

It's on youtube now, in 480p. I'm gonna re-watch it at better quality now before I actually start cleaning.:o That was fast. Damn Bronies work quick.
Saw this comment on youtube.

Don't worry Landrav, even after all the spoilers before the show aired, I was still blown away. :)Same here. In fact I read as many spoilers as I possibly could cuz frankly I have no will power whatso ever... :-[
So let me get right to the heart of the matter. I'm curious on the following: Why the huge interest in MLP all of a sudden? Not just here at Furtopia, but elsewhere IRL and on the Net too. Why does this show appeal to so many? From my POV, It looks like it's mostly a show meant for kids 6-12 years and mostly females. But it appears to have a following of all age groups and also males too.Why I enjoy the show: (Cuz I can only speak for myself)
So why the resurgence of MLP? Is this just Hasbro or some other company making a marketing ploy to bring something nostalgic from the 80's and 90's to the 2000's for a new generation of kids and teens? I guess I just don't understand this fascination/craze with this show. :P
I'm being very serious with my post here. I'd really like some honest and thoughtful opinions.

Also, the best way to understand why it's become such a big thing is to just sit and watch it. Just 4 episodes. 88 minutes... Seems to be all it takes for most people to understand (and become hooked themselves :D )Well for me I wasn't TOTALLY hooked till episode 7: Dragon shy. Thats the episode that cemented the show for me. But yeah its true. The best way to understand is just to come inside and see what all the buzz is about for yourself.
I kinda thought Applejack was a male pony?
I kinda thought Applejack was a male pony?Really?
Eeyup. But I like "tomcolt" over tomboy for ponies. But I don't thinkk either word has ever been said in the show at all.I kinda thought Applejack was a male pony?
Nah. Dashie is the one most likely to be confused for being male at first. Mostly because she's a total tomboy.
I can see the confusion, with 'Jack' being a main part of her name. But somehow when it goes to 'Applejack', it seems fitting for, well, either gender.

(yay Anthology)
LIke Kobuk I am facinated and down right jellious. Inmagine if it was Sanrio instead. Hellokitty for men- yes!
Now wahts with me; I was lookign at Pinkie Pie jumbo plush.
Actually Sanrio would beat Hasbro if a male fandom for Sanrio developed. One of Sanrio stringths is they are very good with corroboration with other companies. For example Hello Kitty with Mac makeup products, van shoes and so on.
Also: Cupcakes! So sweet and tasty! Cupcakes! Don't be too hasty! Cupcakes! Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes!!! :D*hands Kalo a cupcake pan to spin on his nose*
I'm curious: Why no male characters in MLP? The only exceptions seem to be Spike the Dragon, and Discord. Otherwise, practically every other character is female. Why? Isn't that discrimination? >:(Okay... I'm going to say this slow so everypony can understand...
There...ARE....Males. Colts...
They're in the backgrounds, but they exist.
Big Mackintosh, Dr. Whooves/Sepia Tock, Snips and Snails, Hoity Toity, and the duo who pulled them to the gala just to name a few.
Personally I welcome the fact that the .Males. Colts have a low profile, it emphasizes the fact of the strong .females. Fillies lead on the show and makes them stand out more and helps drive home the point that the girls can be just as awesome if not more awesome than the boys.
Besides guys, we're the main focus in just about every other cartoon in known existence. Can't we let the .ladies. fillies have the spotlight here?

Yeah the storyteller thing isn't all that good. I don't like her mane and her voice isn't actually Twilight's.
As for the motion detectors, you have my sympathies. I know all too well what you mean. And those aren't the only toys either. There are these little "Baby Alive" toys in my target and wheen you get near them they laugh and giggle and jump around in their playpen. It creeps me right out every time it happens.
I keep expecting to hear from behind me "I'm Talky Tina and I don't like you."

Apparently i am a Mega Brony.
Let's see... I can't draw, I can't make PMV's, I'm not a good enough writer, and my job keeps me from doing anything note worthy in the Brony (or any other) fandom for the most part. But I finally found a way I can leave my little hoof mark on the community. I've mentioned the Friendship is Madness podcast a few times on here, and while it isn't the most refined, it certainly lives up to its "madness" name.
Seems they have been hitting the bandwidth limit of their podcasting host site. I recently found out my little used webspace went to unlimited bandwidth allotment, plus I still have tons of space unused. So I'm partnering up with them to mirror their episodes in case their main site starts blocking downloads. Still working on setting it up since I had to move my site to a different server so they could have their own FTP access, but hopefully that will be taken care of tonight and can start listing them tomorrow.
YAY! I'm helping. :)
Wait till you get to episode seven Loc, you'll love it.

I don't care what they're called. The fanon names are so much better. And I like Lyra much more than "Heartstrings"
Although "Lyra Heartstrings" isn't too bad a name.
To me, Hasbro seems to be making some really dumb business decisions. As much as I can understand that it's difficult for a huge company to follow trends for each of its toy lines, you'd think that they would have realized what the brony phenomenon means for their toys. They were already planning to make pony toys X, Y, and Z, so a few more minutes picking the right models/colors couldn't have hurt them. I can forgive them for not following the fan names, but if they were smart they would have been at least naming, if not releasing, the background ponies a long time ago. Then the fan names wouldn't have taken root and there would be less controversy.

lol omg, no way... I'm gonna have to buy one of those and put it in LYRA'S room (my 3 week old little girl). What makes it even funnier is that she has a birthmark almost that shape on her rump.
I bought a MLP FiM 2012 calendar today from Dollar Tree for $1. :) Put it in my little girl's room to keep track of dr. visits and stuff.
Sorry for th double post, but can anyone get to WeLoveFine? Site's not loading for me and I wanna see the recently-promoted-on-EqD hoodies!
After my experience with their lack of quality, I refuse to go to their site anymore.
On another note, I would like to say I got my Vinyl Scratch shirt today from https://www.welovefine.com/ and I must say my first impression is not that good. It LOOKS nice, but that's about it so far. As I mentioned in one of the other threads, there was a question about sizing and I decided to go one size larger than normal to allow for shrinkage in the wash. I got it today and it looks nice, but the fabric felt very thin and light weight. Kinda makes me wonder how well the image will hold up on it. It fit well in the areas I measured for ordering, but the sleeve hole diameter feels tight. Almost like you'd see some muscle shirts. Not only is that uncomfortable, but I could see it easily ripping a seam when trying to pull it off. I have a feeling I'd have to order the XXL at least for the sleaves to fit right, but then I'd be swimming in it.
It's currently in the wash to see how it fits after the shrinkage, but I don't have very high hopes because of the sleeve issue and that the shirt just feels "weak" for someone that would wear it as an every day shirt. I'll update this again after it's dry and I try it again. Speaking of which, I am washing according to the tag instructions for the first go around and I noticed 2 things. One, they mis-spelled "DRY" as "DYE". Unless I'm supposed to somehow dye it on low temperature. I also noticed it is labeled made in China. While that alone isn't enough to turn me off of a purchase, it does affect my buying decisions when I'm paying nearly US$30 after shipping for a low quality and poor fitting shirt. By comparison, one of my favorite brands of shirt (The Mountain) makes extremely nice animal print t-shirts that are made in the U.S. for only $20. Not sure if they still have the design available, but they used a couple of Golden Wolf's designs, and can come in a nifty t-shirt shaped cardboard box. My only hope is they are paying a hefty royalty to the artists for how much they are charging for their shirts.
Hate to be a downer on this, but it needed to be said I think. And now I'm really considering sending it back, picking out a Vinyl Scratch image and getting the artist's permission to take it to a t-shirt shop and have my own made on a higher quality shirt.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm gonna just try to send it back for a refund. Allie said it feels like the material they use to make female baby doll tees with. The body of the shirt still fit well after washing, but the arm holes are just going to be too tight for an every day shirt. My arms aren't overly large, just the sleeves are that small. Short too. Raising my arms, the bottom of the sleeve would pull back to my body.
Final judgement (for men anyway): I threw money at them, now I want it back.
These episodes stand up surprisingly well to theatrical re-interpretation.
Now she's moved on to re-enacting the entirety of "The Secret of My Excess" with a plastic Siberian tiger playing the part of Spike. These episodes stand up surprisingly well to theatrical re-interpretation.
My daughter got the main six ponies for Khristmas last week, and today she received a late Khristmas present from a friend -- the glitter-winged Rarity. Right now, she's playing with her ponies, re-imagining the history of Equestria. Apparently, the glitter-winged Rarity was the first pony and created all the other ponies, one at a time, beginning with Applejack.That is because Applejack is best pony.
That is because Applejack is best pony.
All you people with your large purple areas on that test. Apparently I have no kindness or honesty in me at all xD No Applejact traits or Fluttershy, and no surprise.Every time I do one of those pony personality tests, I end up as Twilight. WITHOUT FAIL. It's like, a natural law at this point.

Hey! Season 2 episode 12! Discuss!
This has got to be one of my favorites. It completely contradicts everything that was said about Ponyville previously, by which I mean the PREVIOUS EPISODE, but Apple family is best family.
Dude, calm down. Just point it out politely please.Hey! Season 2 episode 12! Discuss!

Dude! We already have a thread specifically dedicated to discussing Season 2 MLP:FiM episodes!

Why would you suddenly want to bring the season 2 episode discussion over here when we have been dutifully discussing it in the dedicated thread every week since last September!?

Perhaps because it was 3:30 AM at the time I posted :(?
For starters, the episode is up on youtube and has been for a while. I always go to Derpy Hooves News (http://derpyhoovesnews.com/) to get the link to the newest episode. I think they only keep it at the top of their page for a short time though, as I've seen it gone when looking about half way through the week. They XyroTR1's channel for the HD version. Today's episode link HERE btw. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_jwKGGWjAY&hd=1)
About the site take downs and such, I also think it's just them gearing up for DVD releases. Like it or not, the Brony community has to accept that Hasbro has the final say in anything that's put out there. They do also have to protect their copyright. Even if they think it'd be a good business practice to let us share and share alike (I.e. thinking the extra attention will generate more sales than blocking it on places like Youtube and Pony Archive), they can loose their copyright protection by doing so. However you look at it, they probably didn't have a choice if they wanted to mantain full control of their product. It shames the community as a whole when people start whining about Hasbro taking something down. Even more so when they think "But I'm sharing the power of friendship" is a valid argument for posting full HD episodes. I'm actually glad that the Pony Archive is gone after seeing their true colors in the defiance against Hasbro's take down notice (Excepting the one guy that bowed right from the first notice like a responsible adult of course). We don't need that kind of people in the community. Sure, I can understand questioning the emails to verify their legitimacy, but do it in a respectful manor!
Before the purpose of my last post gets misunderstood, I am not trying to complain about what Hasbro has already done, such as take down Pony Archive, strip episodes from YouTube, and the like. Instead, I was wondering if anyone else here was as concerned as I am that Hasbro may start going further, such as going after the larger fan-made projects such as the video games that I mentioned in my last post, the large fan websites like the Derpy Hooves News site you referenced, and so on. In other words, do you think that the video take downs are both the beginning and the end of Hasbro's actions, or do you think that they might possibly go further and come after high-profile derivative works? I realize no one here will know for sure what the corporate-types at Hadbro are thinking and thus can't predict the future, so instead I am just asking whether or not anyone here shares my feelings of concern. In other words, has anybody else's brony-related endeavors been effected or future plans changed by these recent developments?
I thought the Derpy inclusion was one of the funniest things I've seen on the show. It was amazing. I don't get why so many people complained.Because some people just want to take things too seriously and cause trouble instead of enjoying it for what it is. Being accused of making fun of retarded people is one of those things that can be a death nell for a large corporation, so they will always have this kind of knee jerk reaction instead of being reasonable.

Also throw in the fact that some people have an insatiable distaste for any big business and sprinkle on a helping of being pissed off that Derpy wasn't portrayed exactly to a few fans' expectation and this is what you get.
If things do go downhill with Derpy, I have a feeling Hasbro and Studio B are going to get an even bigger ear full and less cha-ching as the rest of the Bronies counter vote with their own letters and dollars.
Even worse, I now have a bad feeling that Hasbro and Studio B just might have just set themselves up for some real backlash over this, because I am sure that if I interpreted Derpy as acting a little literally mentally challenged than I am probably not the only one who noticed. While I am by no means a stickler for political correctness, there are a lot of people out there that may take some serious offense to that. Because of this, I am interested to see what the public at large's reaction to Derpy's new speaking part is, and how everything ends up playing out in the fandom.
Well, we done screwed up. Bigtime.
I still love the character, but now I am going to have to say that I love my own personal take on the character more than the new canon one. I have a whole bunch of Derpy fan art that I want to draw, and to keep myself enthusiastic about it I am just going to have to pretend that the scene where she is helping Rainbow Dash decorate the town hall just didn't happen for now!
We have no idea what is happening; apparently it had died down; positive emails sent to the writer, some to Hasbro and DHX media by the sound of it too, with encouraging replies; but then the episode is removed from iTunes, and makes it look like we did have an effect. And then WeLoveFine tell us they're removing "Derpy" (as in the name) from their catalogue, and it makes the whole thing even more scary.
We have no idea why the episode is not currently available on iTunes, we have no idea why WeLoveFine have been asked to remove Derpy from their website and products, and it doesn't sound like the Studio B team had much of an idea what was happening either.
Tabitha St. Germain has apparently removed all instances of the word "Derpy" from her IMDB page (or something like that), though this is probably just to avoid further controversy.
Derpy is still Derpy on WeLoveFine. Everything on that end seems safe.
Haven't heard of the game, but then again, I don't keep that up on fandom stuff.
Let us know if the shirt quality has improved any from when I reported on the one I got. In the latest Bronyville episode's We Love Fine spot, they mentioned something about them that eluded to a possible change in production.
To paraphrase a definition I saw earlier, the term "derp" has never refered to someone's mental capacity, but to someone's klutzy action. I love when political correctness runs amuck and people push to change something they percieve is wrong when the real meaning is nothing of the sort.

BLUH!?

And here's the final word in Derpygate. AKR herself responds to the crisis: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html
When I first wrote this episode, the character under such harsh scrutiny was named Ditzy Doo. We had already established in previous episodes that she was clumsy (she is not the pony you want on your moving crew). And we named her Ditzy Doo thinking of her as a being a bit dingy.
For the second draft, I was asked to change Ditzy's name to Derpy as a "tip of the hat" to the fans. So, not knowing that Derpy meant anything beyond klutzy and clumsy, I did as requested And then I was finished with this episode.
I had nothing to do with the original voice casting. In my mind, she was ditzy, as her original name implied. But that's not anything I was ever involved with MLP.
I saw both Derpy and Fluttershy at MFF. Great suits!
I don't remember, but who makes those suits? What maker? I want to check his/her website.

Double post. For shame x_x!!
I've added 3 more. Celestia, Luna, and Zecora. I have a serious problem. Oh, and a friend gave me the Cheerilee toy from McDonalds so I now have 2 key chain thingies!
Somehow I've managed to keep myself to two buttons! And I got a Fluttershy McDonalds toy, but they discontinued them before I could get a Twilight :(I have Fluttershy hanging in the windshield of my semi. :D
I think Fluttershy will go in my car. Maybe.
