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 couldn't be an Earth Pony. Not when the others have magic and flying and cloud walking powers. Just been on my mind. tongue

It looks like Equestria Online Legends of Equestria will be having an open weekend in a couple of weeks.

Didn't they get C&Ded?

No that was another game similar to it. Forget the name.

@ Danny. But as an EP you get enhanced strength and durability, resistance to corruption and a the ability to control plants to a limit extent. At least make them grow faster and better.

Just listened to the Japanese dub of the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 3000. I knew going in that the song would probably be the hardest song to dub and I wasn't surprised with what we got. Flim's voice actor seemed to be especially struggling with his parts and since Flim sings pretty much 60% of the song, it was a little hard to listen to.

[up][up]Yeah, but that still isn't flight or telekinesis. I'd want the latter to compensate for losing my fingers.

Resistance to corruption?

Flying pretty much wins, hands down.

It was implied in the Crystal Heart book that EP's have a "pure heart" which makes them harder to influence. Oh they also seem to have nearly prehensile tails, while the other types don't

I'm surprised any game with Equestria in the name is able to survive.

Well, that's Pinkie, you can't use her as a baseline and no other ponies done that.

And yeah they are a lot like hobbits. Only not small, and actually stronger then other ponies.

Yeah, I'm aware that Pinkie isn't a good baseline, but it does seem like a natural extension of EP tail-powers more than something that's unique to her. The drill-hair bit is all Pinkie, though.

I'm perfectly fine being a pegasus.

Still, flying, walking on clouds, making rain and lightning. That's the coolest.

And magic is, well, magic!

I dunno, on the one hand magic does have it's advantages when being a unicorn but then again earth ponies could be interesting so I could go for that.

Earth Ponies tend to have Improbably Aiming Skills. They can do anything with their mouths or hooves that the plot requires. Even if it requires them to levitate.

A pony thinking they were born as the wrong tribe could be an interesting episode, that's for sure. It'd have to be handled carefully, though.

Fun fact: In Lauren Faust's earliest plans for the show, Pinkie Pie was the G1 pegasus Surprise, and Fluttershy was based on the G1 earth pony Posey. (Pinkie/Surprise flew like a hummingbird.) Somewhere along the way (I don't recall exactly how) they swapped tribes, but their initial personalities didn't change. Which I really like, since it shows that one's personality and destiny isn't solely determined by genetics.

So like gender identity disorder, only substitute gender with race.

And less of the stigma, I would imagine.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...
