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 went to the eye doctor today. Nothing important, just figured I'd update my prescription before getting new glasses.
Reaction Image RepositoryDoing fine. Finally crawled out of the Vault after playing god knows how many hours of Fallout. Also got another nice commission from Ponidoodles (really like his work. One of my favorite pony artists).
Also before getting dragged into the vault, I grew bored and made some Shipfic cards because why not? I don't think I can share them as many were using Derpibooru art, so they will likely just be for personal use. Have been told by my friends they are pretty good and possibly usable for their deck too.

Well I just finished watching Joel's Undertale stream (non genocide).
Also still stuck at the hospital. Hopefully I'm healing.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWell, hopefully you get better soon. At least you have internet use at the hospital to pass the time until they say you are good to go though.

Also, the appendix actually DOES have a usage after all it's been found. It acts as a reservoir for bacteria. The good kind that your body needs in order to digest food properly. So that if your GI track gets cleaned out (Generally a result of something giving your a really bad case of the runs) it helps your digestive tract get back to full working order faster.
Today on the Pony Thread: surprisingly useful organs.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Okay, so there's something that really bothers me about both of Discord's S5 episodes. His betrayel and then getting backstabbed and reformed again in the Season 4 Finale should have been a big event for his character that should have effected him and those around him, because it was pretty huge. It had interesting potential and could have served for character development in the future. But neither of his episodes after the fact make any reference to that event at all, and it seems to have been compleatly forgotten about. Now yes, I don't want Discord to just instantly change {Even though it would make him far more tolerable}, but at least have an episode about other ponies not trusting or liking him precisely because of his betrayal. It feels like a wasted oppertunity. If they still wanted him to be a dick, an episode where he tries to be nice but either accidentally does something mean or lets his temper/playfullness get the better of him would have been interesting. It's the same way I feel about the changelings: What was even the point of introducing that plot point if absolutly nothing was going to be done with it? To me, it would be like if Dinobot's brief betrayel in Beast Wars was instantly forgotten about and never refrenced again after that episode.
I think one reason why this annoys me is because this is a type of character/storyline that I love when it's done well. Zuko, Kyoko Sakura and Dinobot are all examples of really well-developed characters who started off as villains and eventually became good, while in the case of at least Dinobot still struggling with his old ways.

Here's the thing, for the most part, Ponies don't tend to hold grudges. Yes there are individual cases, but nearly all of them have been antagonists.
They know Discord has ;earned his lesson and really does want to be better, to be... well not really 'good' but 'not evil' and that is all that matters.
And, yes, "What About Discord" does have the ponies (sans Twilight) suddenly being super-close with Discord. And the seeming out-of-characterness is the entire point of the episode. The writers kept details vague about what Discord did to have such a great weekend with the ponies and win them over. And Twilight, being out of the loop about the weekend, suspects that Discord slipped back into supervillainy and brainwashed all her friends.
Yeah, Discord isn't "good" so much as he's "not actively being evil". He's still a manipulative jerk, and the episode shows that he's hardly shaken off his reputation, even if they don't reference his betrayal directly.

Reaction Image Repository@ Meta Nopony really distrusted him in the Gala ep, except Twilight. Pinkie treated him perfectly normally, none of the other Mane 6 seemed at all at odds with him until he started ruining the Gala, I do not see where this is coming from. Only Twi was distrustful, and that was only AT the Gala, and less "I don't trust you aren't going to do something evil" and more, she didn't trust the Spirit of Chaos, to not do anything Chaotic and potentially ruin a stuffy, overly serious 'party' that she wanted to keep nice and orderly. While forgetting that is exactly what Celestia wants to happen to the Gala.
But yeah, nopony distrusts him beyond knowing he's liable to do something unpredictable at times and knowing that while he's no longer 'evil' he can still be a massive jerk.
Yeah, he's the kind of guy you always want to keep an eye on.
Anyway, I have to get to bed.
