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

[Akira AC]

My god did I laugh at this, way too much.

I don't get where you are getting this notion. Rarity had more character-centric episodes than anyone else did in season one, and even in episodes where she was part of an ensemble cast (Best Night Ever) she still got more of the spotlight than everyone else in regards to character development because they tackled aspects of her personality which hadn't been covered before.

And constantly playing a support role in basically the same capacity each time (like Applejack constantly does) does not count as character exploration. That isn't to say that Sisterhooves and (to a lesser extent) Cutie Pox didn't go above and beyond doing so, but that still isn't the same thing as a character-centric episode.

Rarity has played out more supporting roles due to the stereotype she represents, I know that supporting roles doesn't mean character development but It should be said that the episodes like Fall Weather Friends do provide more insight into each character, while episodes like Look Before You Sleep only showcase Rarity as an stereotype rather than providing actual character development and character insight.



Also, lets give pleasure to our eyes shall we:

And for the people who thought Rarity could not get more Saucy:

I know what I want for Christmas.

"Stupid sexy Rarity!"-If there was only a pony version of Homer Simpson, d'oh

And why does Fleur de Lis or whatever you call her get so much attention? She only appeared in one episode, saying only one line. Great picture though.

 

[Gravekeeper]

In terms of videogame cruelty potential, that game beats GTA.

His absolutely hilarious reactions and freak-outs to your bad decisions was what kept me coming back for more.

You would think I would have learned the first time, but it blew up on me again about an hour later.

Can't quite remember how to do select lineart, though. Doesn't seem to want to work properly.

If you have the lineart on its own layer, you can erase the white of the paper or image by using the Magic Eraser, with "Contiguous" unchecked. Suddenly, lineart! You can lock the pixels in the layer to color or affect only the lineart as much as your heart desires. If I decide to satiate my sudden drawing mood, I can live-stream myself shooping if you'd like to see how I go about my business there.

97601 is Twilight summed up in one picture.

There is a very obvious self-micromanagement joke in there somewhere.

And why does Fleur de Lis or whatever you call her get so much attention? She only appeared in one episode, saying only one line. Great picture though.

That's how memes work, man. Re: Derpy and all the other little things the fans have noticed.

 

[Epic B]

That's how memes work

And I'm fine with that. I'm into ponies, I'm just not into ALL the pony memes. I'll follow along with Doctor Whooves, Derpy Hooves and some other things, but some other memes and stuff I'm just not into. And that applies to more than just Cupcakes.

So, I just wrote a scene where Twilight, now a professor at Canterlot University, had a Molotov thrown through her window...

This is how I plan on starting an MLP RP.

 

[Wiegert]

Wait, a grey aura of magic around Vinyl's horn?

 

[Gravekeeper]

Twilight, now a professor at Canterlot University, had a Molotov thrown through her window...

Man, the bullying nerds get from jocks keeps getting worse with every passing day.

On the one hand, I'm sad because I was going to draw a similar scene. On the other hand: buck yes RAW RAW!

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK FRIENDSHIP MEANS?!

Yes, this will do nicely.

Wait, a grey aura of magic around Vinyl's horn?

CoffeeGrunt must be stopped at any cost.

No one self-inserter should have all that power.



. . .








Somehow, the implication of "self-inserter" isn't as bad as writing yourself into your fics.

PHOTOSHOP!!!!!


I'm going to punch you in the GOD-DAMNED BRAIN!

 

[Minty]

Is it really that unstable?

I don't know how long I can convince myself not to change my avatar........

It's really, really difficult.




Anyway, time to read one more chapter of Arddun Lleuad, because even though I woke up every hour last night, I still feel well rested enough to read something. Actually, first I'm going to check some places on the rest of the forum, then I'll do that.


EDIT: Alright, going for it now.


EDIT: Wait, remember how some of us were trying to kill each other with cute?

In case you didn't see this.

It's rare for me to shed a tear purely because of cute, but this is just the most adorable thing......



*all dead*

 

[Epic B]

Big Macinclaus?

 

[Gravekeeper]

Ok, so this happened like, right this very second. Identities protected, even though I shouldn't. My friend is watching yesterday's episode right now, and here's what she messages me.


[22:25] ****: Whooo
[22:25] ****: Pony episode
[22:26] ****: They've yet to change the intro?
[22:26] [Eddy] Carry on my Skyward Sword: ?
[22:26] [Eddy] Carry on my Skyward Sword: The intro was changed in S2Ep3
[22:27] ****: Really?
[22:27] ****: I failed to see the difference
[22:27] [Eddy] Carry on my Skyward Sword: What the flying f:censored:k


Sometimes I wonder about her

 

[Epic B]

Unpredictable. That's the name. You never truly know if or what until you actually see, just like if Derpy's eyes are derped or just normal.

 

[Minty]

Arddun Lleuad stuff.

Spoiler

I love this story. And I think I've said this before, but I love the fact he, and the ponies, are acting realistically around each other. The fact that he didn't just walk in there and say, "Hey lets be friends" and everything went well, makes me really love it. I love the whole "Upholding the prime-directive" angle he's taking, and they way he's going about it and the way he's reacting to these problems just feels extremely convincing.

So far there's really nothing I don't like about the story. I still have a little over half of it to go, though, and I've got plans tomorrow, so I won't be reading it then, unfortunately.


















EDIT:

Has.....has straigh Caramel been done before? And with Lyra's Bon-Bon of all ponies?

 

[Tornado]

Okay, I'm considerably less pissed now because now I'm making real progress, so respond time!

Rarity has played out more supporting roles due to the stereotype she represents, I know that supporting roles doesn't mean character development but It should be said that the episodes like Fall Weather Friends do provide more insight into each character, while episodes like Look Before You Sleep only showcase Rarity as an stereotype rather than providing actual character development and character insight.

What stereotype?

And why does Fleur de Lis or whatever you call her get so much attention?

Because SexyDynamite:

Accept no substitutes.

His absolutely hilarious reactions and freak-outs to your bad decisions was what kept me coming back for more.

That cat in the town next to his house? Shoot the cat, give him a power pellet and have him land on the very right edge of the area. See if you can get him to walk off the screen before the cat gets him.


Or, even better, give him a power pellet on the mountain by the flowers and have him land past the cliff.

If you have the lineart on its own layer, you can erase the white of the paper or image by using the Magic Eraser, with "Contiguous" unchecked. Suddenly, lineart! You can lock the pixels in the layer to color or affect only the lineart as much as your heart desires. If I decide to satiate my sudden drawing mood, I can live-stream myself shooping if you'd like to see how I go about my business there.

I figured it out (I forgot that I had to select inverse before I pasted the lineart to the alpha channel), though I'd be curious to see how someone who still remembers how to do it does it.

Is it really that unstable?

Me - "Hey, I need to open some other PSDs so I can grab the color samples from the other ones, namely my GTP avatar PSD."

Photoshop - "Lolno." *crashes*

 

[Wiegert]

Just read chapters 3 and 4 of Chwe Goleadau. Looks like a few more characters will play a key role in this story, cool.


*Reads end of chapter 4*




...





Oh. This... damn. It's almost like that moment from The Sun is Tired all over again, only this time it's as if it has been combined with Celly's nightmare from the same story. I won't spoil anything though, but that part isn't exactly nice.


*Goes to look at chapter 5*


What? I need permission to view the document? Balls, looks like I'll have to download the file containing the story tomorrow instead, and it's starting to get really interesting too.

[22:25] ****: Whooo
[22:25] ****: Pony episode
[22:26] ****: They've yet to change the intro?

Sometimes I wonder about her

I would have said exactly the same thing

 

[Epic B]

Because SexyDynamite:

Okay, you got me there. That picture is nice, but stuff like this make me look at ponies the WRONG way. Oh well, if fans of this exist, I won't rain on their parade. Wherever that phrase came from.

398 posts, almost there!

Twilight in your avatar is blushing at that. I don't know what to say, other than "unknown I don't have anything reaction shall be inserted here". 399!

 

[Minty]

Ha! So that's 2 of the 3 new songs that I posted here before they were on ED.


Still waiting to go 3 for 3. Subscribe to ALL the artists.


The one I missed:


1:40 through it so far and liking it.

EDIT: Done. The background image is....off putting, since I really don't like seeing Twilight like that, but the music is awesome.


And I don't care as much as much about posting the videos before ED as I let on, I'm just bored.

 

[Wiegert]

Forgot to add this to my previous post earlier:

Spoiler

The way the story has been written from the start suggested that it wouldn't be a case of "Hey lets be friends". That, is one thing I really like about this story, the fact that it's written in a way that makes you feel that this is what would happen if a human ever crossed into Equestria.

Also, RD Blob:

 

[Epic B]

400!!!!!

Yay. Here's what I just found:

At least for Twilight.

Fluttershy is not amused.

And another thing: Wikipedia has a list of a lot of the MLP characters that have existed, and if you type the name of character (sometimes with "My Little Pony" in brackets so it doesn't confuse it with something else of the same name), it redirects to the list. But check this out. Looks like somebody wanted the chicken to be more significant. The names of the other Crusaders redirect to the list. I see what you did there.

^That reminds me, I went into a Starbucks the other day, and the moment I handed the guy my money for a Gingerbread Latte, I had the sudden urge to go buy an Apple product and wear a scarf and fedora.



It was so good though...

Gingerbread Latte? Sounds good.

 

[Wiegert]

Just watched all of the latest kyrospawn videos upload earlier today, mostly to see the top comments:

THEN PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD

That one is probably the best....




You went to Doctor Who?

The top comment for that is pretty funny too.




Also, I'm liking this:






Uh, why did someone have to go and upload that wet mane Granny Smith image on Ponibooru again?

 

[Epic B]

That ones probably the best....




You went to Doctor Who?

No, Spike went to Doctor Whooves.

 

[Minty]

Spike: "Oh ok...."

Pony1:"Run! It's Godzilla!" Pony2: "It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws, it's not."

Pony1: "Still we should run like it is Godzilla!"

Pony2:"Though it isn't."

The implications.....





EDIT:
Been a while since I've seen a new WWU video:

[Wiegert]

Out of context? Out of context.

Same can be said about a few of the other clips like the one I mentioned the other day (I should have expected Kyrospawn to upload that scene).




Also:

She is Flummoxed The Vet.

IT IS CANON 

Sometimes, we just don't have to think of a name for a pony.




Good night.

 

[Akira AC]

You are doing it wrong:




And that's it, it should be a crime not having Ace Combat 04 and while having PS2, either way emulation will never match the real thing.


Goodnight everyone.
