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.

and more about the fact that it involves explicit images of characters from a show with a target demographic of young kids.
I would say they must be new to the internet, except that Rule34 is Older Than Dirt. The internet just makes it easier to find.
Yes, but I'm talking about individuals who have behaved in an objectionable manner.
So not to belittle the issues of racism with a false comparison or anything, but it reminds me a lot of the rhetoric surrounding it. Like whenever there's a high profile muslim criminal, people start asking muslims to explicitly distance themselves or whatever.
You shouldn't have to distance yourself from anyone else. If someone's going to stereotype, that's their fault, not yours.
That story was passed down orally(heh) until a relatively-modern writer got her hands on it and re-wrote it into something that was both more appealing to her contemporaries, and more pleasant overall.
The problem with Twilight isn't that it changes how vampires operate, because as you pointed out, everyone is constantly doing that. The problem with Twilight is that it's a crappy story. And I read all four books so I can speak with authority there.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayOops, double post due to my internet suddenly dieing for a minute.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayUnofficial for that first one, anyway. Fifty Shades and Twilight fandoms hate each other, hilariously enough.
@Sega. Vectorman is a great game. Very hard, and some might say cheap, but for the most part the difficulty is high but fair, rewarding patience and caution. Plus the graphics are crisp and a real treat, and the music is some of the best Genesis techno this side of Streets of Rage.
When it comes to Phantasy Star, I'd suggest going with a translation patched rom, especially for II. They're great examples of the rpg genre, but have lots of grinding, high difficulty, and require maps when venturing in the later dungeons.
Still, the character designs and general art have a cool science fantasy aesthetic, was one of the first series to throw mages and prophecies in a space opera. There's a strange charm in palling around with your cat-girl sister figure, grab a tank with a laser and rampaging across the overworld, then get stopped at a spaceport because you're a group of teenagers with fake id, so you gotta get a job to board the cool spaceship.
Enjoyable enough- as telegraphed as AJ being an insensitive clod was, at least that didn't last too long, and the rest of the bonding was pretty sweet.
Mostly I'm just a little shocked at what seems to be genuine Ship Tease. As in, endgame/Distant Finale material.
There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.twas a good episode! getting some world building on the rock farm and pinkie's family was great!
although I'm still upset that nothing came of Holder's Dragon Egg Boulder

It's Guilty Until Proven Innocent crap, is what it is.
They are not related. Even if the family connection turned out to be true, the relation is so distant that it's functionally the same as no relation. Pick one person at random from the same city you live in, and there's a pretty dang good chance that you have a closer relation to that person than Applejack and Pinkie Pie might have with each other.
It's worth noting that their 'official' relation is '4th cousin twice removed by a 5th cousin'. Which is obviously nonsensical, but assuming they were 'merely' 4th cousins twice removed, that would make their closest relative a great-great-great grandparent. It would also separate them by two generations(Ie. AJ is 5 generations distant from the relative, whereas Pinkie is 6).
That's a combined genetic watering-down of a full 10 ponies. Yeah, I really don't think that's a relevant relation. It doesn't even show up on a Consanguinity(blood relation) chart. Most countries don't prohibit anything more distant than a first cousin anyways.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Something tells me that either Marcen is DShou or has hijacked his tumblr account
You forgot the Stallions too :P
Also, I'm not alone in thinking Marble Pie is the best of Pinkie's sisters, am I? Maud is a very close second (because it is Maud), but Marble is possibly one of the cutest characters in the show imo. Now if only the Shipping Rock will pair her with Big Mac properly.

It's called Life and Death...
It's an entire 442 or so page novel...
We need to mock it more, because the horse ain't dead anymore guys.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
