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

[Tornado]

When JJ draws stuff like that, you really shouldn't even mention where it is guys. Perhaps I'm overreacting, but I'd rather be safe then sorry with the events of the past few days. The people who are interested will be able to find it if they want to.

 

[unit-one]

^ I agree. :I

You are right actually, I didn't noticed that until now.



Also:

Abyss, Something Amiss

Seems interesting, but their good/bad rate tumbles at the rate of 1 good per 1 bad, I havent read anything in a while.



Apart from that:

Counter-Terrorist win.[/Counter_Strike]



Also, Gilda again, original much? Anyway I guess that humanized do looks like Yellow 13 so I'm sort of OK, sort of.



(*Makes up his mind about reading fic*)

Also, Gilda again, original much?

I found this:

Celebration was in order.

Anyway I guess that humanized do looks like Yellow 13 so I'm sort of OK, sort of.

She's also been in the OP since forever.

 

[unit-one]

Gilda, Gilda, Gilda...


She's everywhere!



...should I draw her or something?

I found this:

The party is on.

 

[Brend]

I want Gilda to make a comeback in Season 2...and Trixie too...double-team anyone?

 

[Wiegert]

...should I draw her or something?

Oh god, you can only imagine how pleased Toro would be if you drew her.

Also, I kinda want to see how you would draw Gilda now.

I found this:

The party is on.

I've always wondered why you don't just go ahead and make Rarity your avatar. I mean, you went with a Trixie avatar first for crying out loud.

 

[Epic B]

Apart from that:

Of all the ponies you could wet mane, it had to be HER?

And renamed again? Wow.

 

[unit-one]

Oh god, you can only imagine how pleased Toro would be if you drew her.

Also, I kinda want to see how you would draw Gilda.

Yeah, she's a Gryphon. Very different design compared to Ponies. (duh)

*makes a quick sketch to test the pose and proportions*

Just found something I uploaded in June?




Still:

I want Gilda to make a comeback in Season 2...and Trixie too...double-team anyone?

Trixie? Absolutely. The Great Jossing would be difficult to deal with, but I would manage.


Gilda? Heart of Gold does it better than they ever could do (because of the show's target demo) if they did it canonically.

Oh god, you can only imagine how pleased Toro would be if you drew her.

JJ humanized Gilda hasn't left the OP once since she was put there. unit-one regular Gilda would likely face the same fate.

 

[Akira AC]

I've always wondered why you don't just go ahead and make Rarity your avatar. I mean, you went with a Trixie avatar first for crying out loud.

Nah I sort of have an obsession with AC squadrons, Rarity is more awesome than them but the squadrons(an in this moment Grun) hold an special place for me.

However there is a bigger mystery that I cant figure out, Toronado's signature.

Abyss, Something Amiss

Not sure what to think but is an interesting approach, quite unique I must say.



Also:

The image that could win this easily is forbidden, unfortunately.



(*Goes back cardiac arrest because Aloe and Lotus*)

 

[Minty]

That image you all freaked out over is the only want that isn't loading on the app. I'd consider myself lucky, but I'll be seeing it whenever I get to my computer, anyway.

Well...I'm on my computer...

I agree with this.

Sounds cool ^_^

 

[Minty]

....Wow



Skyrim Ponies

 

[Downhill Dino]

Woah.... that was awesome. :tup: Excellent work to whom ever made it.

 

[Brando-K]

91564 The third comment wins.

 

[Akira AC]

....Wow

Really cool, reminds me a bit of Need For Speed Carbon.


Also:

Trixie and some GTP member likes this.


And 91578 colour for the win.



Well tonight is going to be a long night.

Goodnight everyone.

Okay, here goes.

Fixing Ms. Smartypants.


First of all, most of the characters are written wonderfully. Seriously. This is some of the best "normal" Applejack writing I've ever seen (exactly the right levels of stubborness, caring for her family and trustworthy to a fault), and the Rarity writing rivals that of The Romancing Quest (hopeless romantic, basically). The CMC are also quite nicely done.

Second of all, the foundation of the story is nicely established and quite nice. Mac took Smartypants because he has a crush on Twilight. Applejack tried to set Macintosh up with Fluttershy because of how similar they are and how easy it would be to move Fluttershy into SAA. Macintosh gave it a shot, but she liked him too much to lead him on because she just didn't like him that way. Applejack doesn't take the hint because she thinks Mac screwed up, and tries to confront Fluttershy over the issue (and that's where the first chapter ends, more or less).

Overall, there is a really good chance for a really good story there.









However, I have two problems with it (one minor, one potentially major):

I'm not a fan of a specific aspect of Mac's character in this. Namely, he is the strong, intelligent, reserved guy he is usually portrayed as; but he is reserved because he has a speech disorder rather than just because he only speaks when he has something wise to say (to the extent that he takes speech therapy classes with Ditzy. Also, this is a "Derpy is an insult" story, but it isn't milking it for cheap drama as far as I can tell). I may be able to shake this, because there is potential for real character development there.




The other problem can be summed up in 4 words:
Cutie Mark Crusaders Matchmakers.


In my experience, even when they are done well these are basically straight up idiot plots (albeit justified ones); and the only reason it didn't bother me when The Romancing Quest did it was because it was a comedy first and shipping second and it milked it for all the former could get out of it. I still think the story can be really enjoyable, but I want less "CMC screwing things up" (they've already misinterpreted the storyline as being TwiJack because Applebloom is just as stubborn as AJ in trying to force the FlutterMac, and decided to hook Dash up with Rarity for the lulz) and more "actual story progression."



That being said, I will still keep my eye on it, and I think Mint should give it a look.












Edit: Speaking of TwiMac:

 

[Brando-K]

Comic "derp-rolled" linked for size.

I knew this would happen. I just didn't know which artist or if it would be humanised or pony.

I'll read whatever Toro said later, I need to go out now.

 

[Wiegert]

Okay, here goes.

Fixing Ms. Smartypants.

I'm aware of that story, and it does seem like a good one from what you've said. I might go ahead and read it soon, I might not, but if I've got nothing else planned then I'll give it a shot (unintentional rhyme FTW).

And I suppose that makes 2 stories which feature "Cutie Mark Crusaders Matchmakers", although it looks as if it wasn't really necessary to have them going around hooking other ponies up with each other. Also, didn't Mint say that he would take a look at The Romancing Quest as well not too long ago? I'll just go ahead and say that it's a pretty good read for the most part.

Edit: Speaking of TwiMac:

*Comic*

Sweeeet![/Jezza]




Good night.

 

[Epic B]

Gonna watch one more before I go. Night.

 

[SpiralDash]

I just found this. It's pretty intense.

Good night.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Hey Toro...

Check out the latest update of "Applejoy..."

 

[Minty]

I'll be reading that review tomorrow, Toro, way to tired right now. I also can't view the comic right now because the app doesn't let me zoom in.



And of use to absolutely no one but still awesome:

Night.

 

[Brando-K]

Awesome comic.

That facial expression.

What I though would happen in the latest episode.

 

[unit-one]

She can explain everything!

Oh God, I never knew there would be so much background administration around writing stuff in this fandom! xD

Why the hell did I spend so much time doing this:
