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!

I'm buying myself another 3DS XL for Christmas, plus US 50 D worth of Nintendo e-Shop points for a 10-year subscription to Pokemon Bank service :V

As far as pony stuff goes, I have already got my Build-a-Bear Dashie :3

I'm gonna be heading up to my dad's for Christmas Eve before too much longer, but before I leave, happy holidays, everypony. It's the same image from last year, but I haven't gotten around to drawing one for this year yet. I'll try and have it done before the first.

I'm planning to buy myself the comics once Amazon stocks them again.

Also, were we discussing the danger of icicles before? Because I decided to stab myself with a pointy icicle just to test it, and I barely felt anything while the icicle shattered.

Ice is brittle, but enough mass/pressure in the right place an icicle of sufficient size will go through anything short of battleship plating.

I expect to go comatose from the ridiculous food marathon that always happens. My family insists on doing three consecutive days where they cook enough for forty people more than are present. It bugs the hell out of me.

EDIT: It also depends on how cold it is outside. Yesterday, it was -33C here. Ice in that condition would probably be sturdy enough to bruise someone and possibly not even break in the process. Of course, even throwing a "snowball" (it freezes hard enough that it might as well be an iceball) at those temperatures is liable to hurt someone too. That is, provided you can find a way to pick up said snow.

Suddenly, Cirno's Icicle Fall sounds a lot more deadly.

As long as you're not playing on Easy.

I come barring a funny video, telling the Legend of Harths Warming. WARNING: Foul Language

I tried watching, but the voice was just too annoying.

Only -6C here. I suppose that might be the problem.

@story: You just aren't stabbing hard enough. Try to sharpen up the end a bit first and aim for the heart, you'll get results that way.

I'm not sure how you would even sharpen an icicle without breaking it.

A video I linked to KYM made front page :D

Also I'd like to imagine a pony-form Cirno as a unicorn filly with her blue-white pattern for a patchwork coat and a light ice-blue mane, with a winged (9) logo and ice crystal wings.

I've seen pony Cirno as a pegasus. You know, because of those ice wings.

I'd think she'd style herself as a mini-alicorn and added the wings/horn as appropriate :V

She would think that, of course.

Given how everyone in Gensokyo does some sort of magical voodoo, I think it would take a specific kind of aptitude to really fit a unicorn form. Say, an actual magician like Marisa, Patchouli, or Alice.

Something I've thought about...

The Mane Six don't seem to be as famous as they should be. What with being the holders of the Elements of Harmony, saving Equestria at least half a dozen times now, and being close friends of the princesses.

Or is all of that so secret...

Candy canes aren't as brittle and don't melt.

I've noticed. . I poke a bit of fun at how Equestrians can't remeber important individuals in my fanfic.

Yeah, though the series wouldn't be very interesting if it was just the cast getting mobbed by fans everywhere they go.

I figure that there's some level of downplaying their importance in the media.

Is anyone else surprised that they have yet to create a My Little Pony video game based on the current series? Not counting the mobile game of course.

@storyyeller: Exactly. Ice melts at a temperature that is much lower than human body temperature, so it very easily melts in a person's hands. Candy canes can melt too, but considering that they are made of sugar, it takes a lot more to melt them. The melting point of sugar is 366.8°F (186°C), while the melting point of water is 32°F (0°C). Which means that if you sharpen hard candy enough, it can be a more dangerous weapon than an icicle.

On the subject of why the Mane 6 aren't constantly mobbed by fans, I don't quite have an answer. We do know that ponies in general can get very excited about crowding around famous ponies, like when Fluttershy was a model, although some of that may have been just ponies who were interested in fashion. One could argue that Celestia asked that the Mane 6 NOT get special treatment just for being the Elements of Harmony, but that could cause problems in itself, given that it would have sure helped Rarity if ponies like Jet Set and Upper Crust knew who she actually was (just giving one example). Although perhaps Celestia doesn't want any of them to get a "swelled head" over being the guardians of the Elements as well. I would also not quite be sure how much an average pony knows about events that happen outside of his/her town or city, too, considering they don't have the same mass communication technology that we humans have in real life.
