A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Thanks to artists like whitediamonds, Rarijack is the one ship I could see myself supporting.

Post of the Day #873

Yes for the most part. Ya gotz ta have FRIENDS. Cause friendship is magic, and if you stick with them through thick and thin, you can form a direction that all your lives can go instead of aimlessly wandering in the competitive fish pool of the city.

Competitive fish pool. Is that like a professional pool league for fish?

So I just checked out the first part of Mic The Microphone's reading of that RD+Kitchen Sink fic that some people were talking about a while back...

It's freaking hilarious. 'Nuff said.

I wonder how the kitchen sink story compares to the one where Dash is shipped with shipping itself.

Or maybe it's a pool where there's a weekly Go Fish tournament?

It's coming up fish puns today. Jury is still out on whether that's a good thing.

"Rarity and AJ learn to appreciate each other more"
Is that what kids are calling it these days?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

[up][up]And from that point on the show is a sitcom about Twilight trying to raise 3 babies. The implications of the nation's rulers suddenly reverting to infancy are never addressed.

Alright! Time for a reaction to Keep Calm and Flutter On! As usual, y'all can join me here. LET'S BEGIN!


  • Nice Cold Open there.
  • Oooh, Dave Polsky... considering his previous eppy... I still have high hopes for this one, considering his other eppies. Also, who's Teddy Antonio? -looks up his name- Whoa. That's actually rather impressive for him.
  • Okay, that Pinkie moment was pretty funny. I can already tell that I will like this one.
  • Also, the story is... actually a rather interesting concept. Let's just see how Dave can pull it off...
  • Ah... it feels so good to hear de Lancie's voice again.
  • And yes, Discord is still friggin' awesome as heck.
  • Also, this eppy is pretty funny so far.
  • Still lovin' the "squee" sound effect. Also, not sure if "How do you like them carrots?" was a Call-Back to Applebuck Season or not... it probably is.
  • Well, didn't see that plot twist coming. I'm being very sincere here. I didn't see it coming.
  • Also, this episode is actually moving rather fast.
  • Seeing Fluttershy's house spinning as well as seeing the inside of the spinning house is actually pretty funny... for some reason.
  • "There's something fishy going on." Cue Rimshot.
  • Wow, that moment between Fluttershy and Discord at the dinner party... was actually very touching.
  • That was actually a nice ending there.
  • Obligatory Title Drop is obligatory.

So, that was my reaction to Keep Calm and Flutter On. Overall, I thought that it was a pretty darn good episode.

Now... to ship Fluttercord or not to ship Fluttercord... that is the question...

So, will I ship Fluttercord? Will I think that the next eppy of this show will be good? Will I admit my love for Da- wait what?

FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF... SOMETHING!

It was a rather good episode, yes. Thankfully that plotline will continue later and Celestia's remark on his magic does get an explanation waaaay later.

So far your reactions have pretty much been the overall fandom consensus. Spike at Your Service was originally written by Polsky and Rarity would have gotten the Spike adoration which makes more sense imho, but somewhere in the writing process it was decided Rarity might come off as too mean so they switched to AJ and gave the script to Williams to rewrite.

[up]Well... that was an interesting bit of trivia there... it seems that every time that someone passes on an episode to another writer, it usually doesn't end well. At least for me.

I can never be mad at Spike at Your Service. It's the episode that made self-insert-fanfic-writer!Dash canon.

Relevant because Wryte mentioned Rainbow Dash and self-insert fanfic writer in the same sentence.

You can bet after Daring Don't the first thing Dash did was burn all her self-insert slashfic.
