The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[Brando-K]

Mornin' everypony.
How's it been here without me? Looks like not that much has happened. Oh well, that means less for me to read.

I've been away because my internet was cut off by the phone company. You see, we're moving in 2 weeks from now and they cut off the phone early. Then they reconnected it but forgot to reconnect the internet too.
So I probably won't be on regularly till Monday or Tuesday. I guess I'll just have to read the fics on my e-reader.

And to expand on Toro's comment of Celly. That's what people suspect her lower power level looks like. A bit like Cell from DBZ.
A better description is the difference between nightmare moon and luna, with a flowing ghost mane or hair respectively.

 

[Tornado]

Also, that's Celly as she was seen in the book in the first episode prior to banishing Nightmare Moon. I've seen that explained as everything from her when she was a filly to her when she is mortal to her before she used the Elements of Harmony 1000 years ago.






Oh boy. Nexus is gonna get his. I'm giddy! Oh well. The Empty Room time.

 

[Akira AC]

@Brando-K You will be missed.

Apart from that, I think that inverse psychology might have an application on fanfics, after all, there are plenty of characters that can be exploited.

Also, I'm still bored.
(*keeps watching The Boondocks, they use Bob Ross like character for development of an episode, now that's interesting, maybe fanfics or indeed MLP needs a character like Bob.*)

Didn't that lead to a car chase/gunfight?

Indeed, Bob Ross shooting with a Desert eagle while fighting with the police, that something that Family Guy cant match.

Confound these ponies, they drive me too see cool American animated series(seriously, I lost faith in this sort of cartoon after 15th season of The Simpsons, maybe the characters were overused too much).

I actually think of her as billions of years old. Started in on a fic on that, probably should pick that back up this weekend...

You're in luck. AS somehow managed to get MacGruder to come back for a third season.

 

[Akira AC]

I usually don't post anything post-drawfriends, but this is brilliant:

And there is a fierce battle for first comment place on ED, almost in every single one of those posts, I like to go after 6th, and it seems to be the right thing to do.

 

[Akira GT]

If I have to say to myself Hasbro really missed their Target market because my 7 year old cousin (who unfortunately has a very serious form of cancer for the second time in her life ) loves My Little Pony merchandise but really hates the show for some reason I don't understand that at all...

 

[Minty]

Sorry to hear that.

But about her not liking the show, being in the target demo doesn't mean someone will automatically like it. It's the same for everything really, there will always be people who don't like something, even in children it comes down to personal preference.



Also, I've got to get back on my sleep schedule because I've been waking up past 12 for the past 3 days, and it's starting to annoy me, so I'm going to bed now. I probably won't be spending much time on here tomorrow because I've got work, and I really need to get out and do something, because I've been inside almost constantly for the past 3 days. Not sure why, just been in a really lazy mood lately and I feel like I need to force myself out of it. Oh, and I work from 1-6 so I wouldn't be able to make those races, if you're doing them tomorrow, anyway.

And what's with the slow day today?
Night yall!

EDIT: Wait, I just found this and holy 🤬 YES!

Anyway, night y'all.

 

[Gravekeeper]

Weekend! No more work! I finally have some time to sleep and write and check the thread! Heck, I haven't even been able to TF2, CoffeeGrunt... Miss me?

First things first.

And now, to mass-reply to a few of the posts I finally got around to reading:

All finished. I accidentally the whole clock:

After:

Bravo, sir. "I've got Trixie on my six!" "I've got Trixies everywhere!"

I'm pretty sure only Gravekeeper, and maybe akiraacecombat will understand this:

At first I lol'd, then I sad'd over poor Vinyl Scratch... And then I lol'd again at 'Prince Fatc*ck'

Could you imagine what would happen if El Bananero does a MLP trailer? My funny bone wingboners at the possibilities.

Oh dude, can you imagine a Pony version of Me Peto a Laura?

...I'm talking "Of Mares and Magic just lost its 20% Cooler Tag" annoyance. I'm talking "that ending just did the impossible and torpedoed Of Mares and Magic way out of my Top 5" feelings of contempt for what it ended up doing....

I haven't had the chance to read it, but I see that fic has stirred quite the sh:censored:storm with its sudden [Sad] tag. I actually had three commenters on my own fic page asking me to make their Of Mares and Magic sadness go away. I mentioned this to a friend, and this is what he replied:

"Which means you hold equal power to devastate your fans."

...And then Ballad ends in Everybody Dies thanks to him.

Confound these ponies, they drive me too see cool American animated series(seriously, I lost faith in this sort of cartoon after 15th season of The Simpsons, maybe the characters were overused too much).

Flanderization, awww yeeah!

Family Guy is trash, I have no idea how Fox can cancel Futurama and yet give Seth McFarlane 3 shows... Anyways, if you want some really, really great adult cartooning, you should check out The Venture Bros. Its awesomeness escalates to new heights every season that passes.

I know, I just discover The Boondocks and I'm loving it, 5 episodes in a row is something that only MLP manages to beat(I saw from EP5 to EP13 on a single day), and its pretty much the only thing that keeps me out of pony(that and of course AC), I will give a go to your series recommendations, I dont have anything to do this weekend.

Apart from that, last pics for today:

Bloom derp:

Pinkie just got Dashed(or should I say... caked[/Dr_Evil]):

Pirate,(A.K.A. I cant think of anything stupid enough to quote):

And companion cube, not sure about this one.

That's all for today, maybe tomorrow ponynet will become more interesting, and surprisingly today there were only to pages to navigate, maybe Friday is the new Monday for Bronies.

Goodnight everyone.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Weekend! No more work! I finally have some time to sleep and write and check the thread! Heck, I haven't even been able to TF2, CoffeeGrunt... Miss me?

Nope.avi

I'll be online tonight, I've had work all week too, (and today), and haven't been able to get any good sessions in on that game.

Not sure what time "my tonight" equates to in your timezone. Also I've released 26,000 words of fanfic since you released Ballad 13.

 

[Tornado]

Linky.

Funny story about how I found the last image source. Yep, funny story indeed.




Anyways:

I haven't had the chance to read it, but I see that fic has stirred quite the sh:censored:storm with its sudden [Sad] tag.

Its not the sad. Sad was a distinct possibility in my mind as far back as the middle of Chapter 9, and many people were predicting the ending that it did get in the spirit (but not in the letter) before that.

Its the stupid way it was done. Imagine if Dangerous Business ended after they saved Twilight with Rarity diving right back into the self-loathing she started the story with, all because it adds cheap conflict (when there was legitimate conflict that could have been done anyways without reverting her character).

I actually had three commenters on my own fic page asking me to make their Of Mares and Magic sadness go away. I mentioned this to a friend, and this is what he replied:

"Which means you hold equal power to devastate your fans."

I'm not gonna lie: Between what Past Sins did yesterday and what Of Mares and Magic did earlier in the week, Ballad anticipation has gone up.

That one where Trixie made Pinkie help her rewrite the script of Boast Busters to turn the ending into a Twixie parody helped a lot, though. And The Romancing Quest updated too, so who knows?

...And then Ballad ends in Everybody Dies thanks to him.

And then Seth murdered Gravekeeper.

Flanderization, awww yeeah!

Archer is another good one, though that one is far more Love it or Loathe it than even The Boondocks is.

 

[Minty]

This is awesome.

Christopher Walken needs his ponies.

And this......this is something I can't say I saw coming. Comparing ponies to fonts.

Oh, and the font paired with Twilight is supported here, so......yeah, using that now since I still had the default before.


EDIT: I just realized I'll be working outside for today, so I'll probably spend most of the day after work reading Macintosh.

 

[Tornado]

I spent several years of GTP using Garamond. As an FYI, you should wrap it in tags, because otherwise it is harder to read.

 

[Minty]

Yeah, I just feel like that might be a little too big.

Maybe without the bold?

Maybe without the bold or the size change?

Yeah, I'm liking it without the bold, but with the larger size.


Oh, and this:

Sharks have never been so adorable.

 

[Tornado]

I always did Size=3 without bold, so I personally think that is the best.

 

[unit-one]

I'll stick with Arial Black.

Can somebrony help me? I'm cleaning the friends list on ps3.

Who is JuveraTJ? He's offline now.

EDIT: I may be late, but don't go to jemylover's DA. She drew "cupcakes"...

EDIT2: CoffeGrunt posted 4th chapter of his story.

 

[Akira AC]

I love Trebuchet, but I don't use it because I'm too lazy to add the tags, If you are interested, SlipZtrEm sums up how the ideal post/thread/forum things design should be, and copy him doesn't feel quite right, maybe an advanced idea from that one will come at some point.

Also, good morning everyone.
(*yawns*)

 

[Minty]

So my friends coming over later after work, and he seems to be pony curious.....I think this video might just get him to give it a try.

 

[Akira AC]

On ED, its actually quite good:

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Oh the beautiful memories of the 90s and it's pointless yet awesome music.

 

[Akira GT]

Just wondering are you guys racing online later on GT5? If so can I join in because I am bored

 

[Racedude]

Could you imagine what would happen if El Bananero does a MLP trailer? My funny bone wingboners at the possibilities.

YES! YES! YES!!!

Oh dude, can you imagine a Pony version of Me Peto a Laura?

Sorry, I'm a bit more sophisticated than that video. But whatever floats your boat...

Can somebrony help me? I'm cleaning the friends list on ps3.

Who is JuveraTJ? He's offline now.

That's me!

As a sidenote, I'm currently working on an 8-bit instrumental for the CMC theme.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Oh God am I bored. I'm even bored of TF2 now, played it so much just now. :|

Hurry up Seth 'n' post ma fic.

 

[Tornado]

So, Snails is back. Yay, I suppose?

Just wondering are you guys racing online later on GT5? If so can I join in because I am bored

For whatever reason, I couldn't even get the room to start today.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

The Apology Epilogue for Of Mares and Magic just arrived.

If he intended it all along, why wass it marked "Update Complete?"

 

[Minty]

Looks like he's going to make one for ALL the characters.

And that was a reference to this meme.

 

[Akira GT]

For whatever reason, I couldn't even get the room to start today.

That seems quite odd indeed!

Also Guys i'm going to try make a PMV soon but for the life of me cannot get used to the Sony Vegas Pro UI at all its odd after switching from Powerdirector
It's very frustrating
