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!

It's actually not a new avatar. I've had it for over a year. I suppose that you might have briefly mistaken me for Starscream, right?tongue

[up][up][up]With as bland a cast as G1 could be, a "female Wesley Crusher" would have at least been recognizable. But G1 also had a Data in Windwhistler (or Spock if you prefer) so it wasn't completely devoid of personality.

@Crowfall: I'm sure if someone "not cared" hard enough they could do it.

[up]So what you're saying is that My Little Pony is a Star Trek knock off.

God dammit I hate my sister sometimes.

She threatened to call the cops on mom earlier. All mom did was try to make her get out of the car, AT OUR HOUSE.

[up] Makes sense to me.

[up][up][up]Well no. If that were true we would be in the middle of one the most tedious and boring incarnations of MLP, with G5 finally being so bad that it put the franchise on ice until a G1 reboot.

G3 would be the one known for being groundbreaking and taking the franchise in a bold and some say controversial direction, while G1 and 2 would be remembered fondly as pop culture icons.

There would be no G 3.5

Is there a Windwhistler centric episode we can see for comparison?

Crunch the Rock Dog, and Mish Mash Melee.

The first is longer and a bit uneven, though it has more character focus on her and the second is shorter and a bit higher quality, though she mainly shares the focus with Fizzy.

So bored.

I think I'm gonna go ahead with the Ponystuck story I mentioned a week or two ago. Except it's gonna be focusing on the CMC plus Rumble, Twist and Dinky (is that her name? the one that is sometimes Derpy's daughter in fan fics?) instead of the CMC and Spike.

That reminds me. I need to catch up with Homestuck. I haven't checked it in weeks.

Dinky (is that her name? the one that is sometimes Derpy's daughter in fan fics?)
Yes, Dinky is her fan nickname. The closest we've come to an official name is "Fire Chief" from the Gameloft game.

Oddly enough, she's never actually appeared on-screen with Derpy. She did, however, compete in the Sisterhooves Social with Amethyst Star. And she appears alongside Written Script and/or Carrot Top in crowd scenes in "Mysterious Mare Do Well", "The Last Roundup", and "Magical Mystery Cure"—possibly implying that one or both of them are Dinky's canon parents.

Meh, whatever. Considering the fact that in Homestuck, all of the kids are actually [SPOILER CENSOR], I guess it doesn't matter.

@story: Well, that shouldn't take you very long. It hasn't updated in almost two months. Hussie is finishing up the story now, and the entire last chunk is going to be put up all at once.

In "Magical Mystery Cure", Dinky appeared next to Time Turner. Dinky is notably the only background filly to appear during the ending parade if I recall correctly.

Yeah, its kinda funny how the Derpy/Dinky relationship is the only major Derpy fanon thing that hasn't gotten a nod. Muffins? Check. Mailmare? In the comics. Doctor Whooves's companion? Its practically canon at this point. Dinky is Derpy's daughter? Apparently a no go! (yet)

Well, what are their interests in your fic? What are their personalities—or rather, what self-image are they trying to project to the world? Also, is there any sort of motif you're trying to make the chumhandles follow (e.g. how the kids' and trolls' abbreviations were all DNA base pairs)?

EDIT: Dinky's should be fireChief.

Well, this is an awesome quote for the ages.

Tonight I just had to slap on a fake smile and get through a ninety minute dinner with some prettycolt moron who I could ignore while he rambled on about his feelings or whatever, and then I’d finally get some relief. But instead I ended up stuck here. These last few weeks have been...” she trailed off for a moment. “What’s that Earth place? Bad people get sent there as punishment? Really hot? Monsters everywhere?”

“You mean Hell?”

“Is that what it’s called?” asked Mayfly. She chuckled. “Wow, I was way off. I was going to say Australia.”

Wow, Hussie is finally wrapping it up? Guess I'll just go an finish everything in one push then. I'm really curious how he's going to end it without it being a massive anticlimax. That said, Hussie being Hussie, a massive anticlimax would be par for the course.

I approve. [awesome]

In other news, I'm wondering if any rhythm games might be playable. Has anyone played Space Channel Five? I used to, but can't remember if there were visual cues.
