My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Live Reactions & Discussion)

I Googled it...only 12 episodes...

Try not to look up anything else about it outside of Netflix or Hulu. You might run into spoilers, and you do NOT want anything about this show spoiled for you.

There's apparently a type of food called Filly Stake. In light of ponies, the implications are quite disturbing. Maybe that's the reason why Babs hasn't been actually seen since Season 3. It's a conspericy, I tell you!

I'll try to watch it soon.

That's the general downside of Monks in the Final Fantasy series. Sabin's still a cut above compared to the other Monks, though, since he's got Blitz and the others are stuck with the significantly less powerful Kick and/or Focus commands.

Jason reference for when the Chainsaw procs its instant kill.

That is pretty amusing.

Specific items map to other specific items with anything that doesn't fit into the list mapping to fighting Typhoon/Chupon for an Elixir. It's actually possible to beat him, but requires a pretty specific setup ( IIRC, it involves Shadow and dual wielding Stunners).

speaking of short anime: Ping Pong: the Animation. eleven-episode series about friendship, heroes, and high school table tennis. watch it subbed or dubbed; both are great.

Just started up Undertale. Sweet Celestia it is giving me feels already for some reason. Might be the Mother-style music that plays when you boot it up.

Also, the face Toriel pulls if you spare a monster is priceless

EDIT:

Oh my god, you can just 'fight' the ghost by cheering it up

Well...this is a depressing bombshell to run into today :(

Somebody mentioned gender flips for everyone here on the last page and it made me think of a literal gender flip, not changing everyone's sex. Everyone here is now transgender, unless they already were.

[Checks down shirt] ... how long have those been there?

Thought it meant that everyone's gender was literally flipped

That's what I thought too..

in the meanwhile, I don't really have to buy new clothes, hooray!

except maybe t-shirts. they might not fit to my body the right way anymore.

Well, at least I don't have to worry about cosplaying a female character anymore

Yeah I forgot about that. That would be a severe pain if sudden genderflips happen

I mostly wear unisex shirts, so those would probably still fit okay in the event of a sudden genderflip. Underwear would be an issue though... O_o

crap i didn't think about underwear.

god I'd have to buy so much of it.

i wouldn't even know my cup size. but i have friends that could help me out with that.

but the cost oh geeze. and there are like, so many to choose from.

though, all my t-shirts should fit (even if they'd be a tad big) and hoodies are pretty much unisex, so I'd be good on that end.

...yeah i'd rather not deal with that. not only does it sound painful for sudden organ and bone structure changes, but it would be a pain to buy all new clothes.

So...opposed to being a feminine boy, I'm a masculine girl. Ok.

eh, if it also comes with a fix to my weight, I would not have an issue with it at all (at leas the pain would be temporary). Also means that at least I won't have so many clothes issues (XL clothes have their uses). Dunno if my stuff is unisex though

And instead of being a masculine girl, I'd be a feminine boy!

The genderflip would really help during formal occasions, since it'd be so much easier to know what to wear. Just a shirt and slacks, and maybe a tie if it's formal enough.

I dunno what I would be. I'm not too masculine, yet not feminine either (barring the watching of MLP). So yeah :/

Meh, aside from having to have chest support I'd just wear all of my other clothes, whether they fit or not

So my dad knows I might possibly be depressed. Problem is, I don't think he knows how to handle it. Granted, neither do I, but I don't really think he'd be the best person to help me out. It's not that I hate him or anything, but I just don't think he's gonna be the best person to get me through this funk I've been going through.

Also, his idea of trying to make me feel better is taking me to the church one of my uncles go to. Except that, y'know, I'm agnostic and pansexual(or panromantic, still haven't gotten that figured out.). But he doesn't know either of those things. Why? Cause he's the kind of Christian that isn't the most tolerant of homosexuals. He doesn't seem to hate them, but doesn't seem to like them either. Also my uncle doesn't seem to like homosexuals either. So theirs that. My dad wants to bring me there to try and get the good word of god in me to make me feel better. And because he wants me to be friends with the youth group. Except I'm fine with the friends I have and my problem is that I just can't seem to get the balls to even send them a hello through texting. So I don't know how to break to my dad that I don't wanna go to church.

That sucks, sorry to hear that.

I can't help you about the going to church thing, at all. I have similar issues myself.

But what I would try to do is tell him that you're uncomfortable with going to church, and that you know it would only make things worse rather than help alleviate the problem.

And about texting your friends, I used to have a similar issue. And just do it. You just have to get used to sending texts and knowing that you won't always get a response.

@gender change: Honestly, not much about me would change. I would go from "stereotypical gay guy who isn't gay" to "pretty normal but nerdy girl".

If I got gender-flipped, I guess I'd start working on my Twi voice imitation so I could VA in my Twisuit.

Sneak a bunch of dry ice into your pockets, then when you cross the threshold of the church opened them up so the mist starts pouring out, then writhe and scream in tongues?

Yeah, I don't really have a serious suggestion I'm afraid, aside from just bear it. It'll only b an hour or two, and even going to church by choice I found it relatively easy to let my mind wander to things aside from the sermon.

As for communicating with the other kids from the youth group... perhaps, if you have another friend who's understanding and meatspacey, you could hijack their hands? Dictate what you want to say, but let them do the typing and press-send-ing so that you don't get anxious and can't bring yourself to hit send? And if they're there with you anyways they could help you with what you want to say.

Your mom seems of a much better sort than your dad, so if you're lacking in meaty friends maybe she could fill in?

RE: Genderflip: That would be... interesting, for me. I have an extremely stocky build, pretty much like Bane◊, but with a bit of a paunch. It's difficult to imagine a girl built that stockily.

However, most of my family on my dad's side - whom I take after - tend to also have very stout builds. Specifically, hippy and, ah... well, at least one of my aunts has had reductive surgery to avoid back problems. My gut would actually fit well with that build, although I would resent suddenly losing almost a foot of height to their average heights.

Personality-wise I doubt much would change, as I'm very much not a product of my environment and so I doubt societal factors would change how I act very much. Although if anything I might be more cantankerous, thanks to actually having something visible that people could/would annoy me about. And, again, losing the height. Being 6'3" and 2 feet across the chest tends to make people... reluctant, to bother you.

@Scott I hope all goes well for you.

@Death That sounds awesome!

I guess one change that would happen after a genderflip is that my parents would be cool with me hanging out with opposite gendered friends. Because apparently a girl hanging out with guys invites scorn, but a guy hanging out with girls people are okay with. Go figure.

Heh. It's fun being pretty much gender-neutral, personality wise. I'm more guyish than most girls, but I'm girlier than most guys.

Meat spacey? Meaty? Hijack their hands? Wha?

Hopefully my dad will just forget about going to church. He's suggested going many times before but never really followed through with it.

And yeah, my mom is much more understanding of my problems then my dad. He means well. But doesn't convey it well.

I am talking with a good old online friend of mine currently and she seemed of gone through depression recently too. I also talked with my best IRL friend about depression yesterday. She's also gone through it before. So that helps.

@marcen Thank you.
