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.

@Dark: You ever seen Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha? It's all about magic and friendship and beating the shit out of evil with giant magical laser beams.
It's pretty hardcore.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Yeah, other browsers may have Magical Girl personifications, but this one is CANON.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/I watched the first season of Nanoha. It didn't gel for me and the transformation sequence was uncomfortably sexual. Strangely enough, I loved Saint Tail though. Perhaps because it didn't try to be anything other than fluff. I... spent way more money getting the DVD's than any sane person should.

I remember once I had an idea for a story of a magical girl spoof. The Weasel Mascot was supposed to deliver the magical plot device to a certain girl and ended up accidentally giving it to her brother.
Reaction Image Repository@Dark: Yeah, I guess that does make sense as an impediment...
@CDRW: I can get that, about the transformations. The second season mostly tones it down by virtue of not having the full sequence shown that often, and after that I imagine it would be less uncomfortable by virtue of them being in their early 20s I think?
I dunno, I'd always kinda thought uncomfortably sexual transformation sequences were kind of a standard for the genre. I've certainly never seen one without them.

Yeah, they are, but that one seemed worse than most others. It didn't help that it was marketed as the Magical Girl show for adults either.

It's a technology that lets you do 3d graphics in the browser from pure Javascript, among other things. Firefox and Chrome have had it for ages, but IE is only just now adding it.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHere's a question that I don't think has been asked. If you could, if they were human, which of the mane cast would you be LEAST likely to date?
My answer- PINKIE. Fuck, Pinkie. Too hyper. Too loud. Too extroverted for me.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/least likely, huh? hmmm... probably Rainbow Dash. i'm not too much into sports.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

I really wish I could not disappear for hundreds of pages at a time, but whatevs, I'm here now, again.
