A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

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!

A few millennia from now:

Princess Skyla (in voiceover): Dear Midnight Twinkle, the spell contained on the last page of this book is Twilight Sparkle's unfinished "mind control" spell. She was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe that you may be able to figure out why she kept fucking it up.

[up] Is that last bit meant to be read as a soulless, monotone dirge?

Because that's how I'm reading it.

Given how well the thing with the parasprites went, I kinda assumed that this time around, Twilight was careful to design the spell so it only removed their desire to eat apples specifically. The bats are vampire fruit bats, not vampire apple bats. They'll probably eat any kind of fruit, Twilight just kept them away from apples.

@Seraphem: I figured that Fluttershy eventually got through to them and worked out a compromised to keep them in that section. Seems like a pretty shitty deal for Applejack though. If she has to do this every time some new pest shows up she's going to end up giving away her entire orchard.

Maybe they can get the vampire bats to chase other pests away.

@story: That's actually a really good idea. Make the bats protect the orchard in exchange for some of the apples. Makes giving up part of the orchard worthwhile to AJ, and makes the bats not a bunch of freeloaders. I'm headcannoning that.

Do the Timberwolves attack a lot, though? I don't fully remember the sequence of events that led to the attacks in SAYS, but I remember them being fairly benign during Zap Apple season.

did yo guys know that "Bronies" documentary that came out a while back is on Netflix now?

It is? Interesting. I wonder if I can get my family to watch it. Do you think it'd be interesting for a nonbrony?

Timberwolves don't really come out of the forest much. The vampire bats are pretty clearly a highly unusual pest; AJ probably knows how to deal with the regular set.

Dear Twilight,

Thanks for sending a horde of vampire fruit bats to my pear farm. Bitch.

The Doc isn't bad, but I much prefer the Brony Chronicles, even if only the first part has been released. The Doc glorifies the fandom in rays of sunshine that provides litle factual information and as an aside took the easy way out and mocked previous MLP history including calling Tales G2. BC gives an in depth look at the events leading up to Fi M and part 2 looks to be doing some good analysis of the fandom.

Yeah, the doc isn't bad by any means, but it just has a sort of "Aren't bronies great?" feel to the whole thing. It's informative, but I think it glosses over some of the problems that the fandom has.

That, is really the only thing I can think of that makes sense, but the episode still gets points deducted for not explaining it. That being turned into a Bat, and still having a little of them left in her, let her be able to communicate with them and work out the deal

but yeah AJ still gets fucking boned on the deal.

If you ask me, the My Little Pony app isn't so much a game about My Little Pony as it is a simulation of a third-world dictatorship suffering from hyperinflation.

Seems like it'd be the nature of Allegedly Free city building games.
