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!

Well, if I mock "Chunin Exam Day" I can certainly draw on that chat, given you guys know stuff about the source material that I don't that makes for insightful commentary on why the fic is garbage.

Oh. This isn't pony-related. Not a good page-topper. Ummmmm try shipping?

Are you going to do the Round Robin once it's finished?

There's a painful gash across my left eyelid and I have no idea how it got there. It's not bleeding, but goddamn it's painful.

I'll just watch some videos to get my mind off it.

Reminds me of a time as a kid where after I got done playing soccer, I discovered that my toes were all bloody. And I didn't even feel anything during the game.

Round Robin? You mean that Celestia/Octavia thingy? I dunno. That doesn't really interest me.

That looks surprisingly good for a fursuit.

From the new episode, but it doesn't spoil anything, and I thought it was funny enough out of context to post anyway.

I'll post my thoughts on the episode after everyone else has had a chance to watch it, but in short: I liked it.

Luminosity: I've made a fursuit, but the picture in question is Atalon's work, which makes mine look a bit feeble by comparison. I took a crack at making a Twilight fursuit last year and wore it to a couple cons. I'm just nonplussed by a fursuit looking good being a surprise.

The only fursuit I've seen that didn't fall into the Uncanny Valley for me was that Luna one.

[up][up] Well, of course it does. It's a super-experienced guy's work versus my first attempt ever. That's not what I was nonplussed about. It's the "surprisingly good for a fursuit" that carries implications, like fursuits are inherently inferior or something.

I've heard nothing but good things so far, but on the other hand Mio hasn't watched it yet.

Actually I have watched it, but I've decided to wait till tomorrow to discuss things.

Of course by this point you can probably guess what I'll have to say at this point.tongue

I'm not gonna lie, the vast majority of fursuits fall into Uncanny Valley territory for me, especially were ponies are concerned. It's just really hard to convert the show's art style into a mascot-type costume without having it look weird. The Daring Do one is pretty good, mainly because the head actually looks show-style rather than like a RL horse, but even so the whole "hoof-arms" thing just looks weird regardless.

The huge static eyes don't really help in that regard, either. For that matter, the static faces. It's a little too much like a doll coming to life.

Plus, and I know this is unfair and stereotypical, but there is the unavoidable cognitive link to the stories about anonymous suited group sex. Undeserved as it may be, fursuits are symbolic of the weirder extremes of the furry fandom.

Yeah, outside of deliberately stylized stuff like sports mascots, fursuits just look weird to me. There's nothing wrong with them on principle, but they have to be extremely well made for me to consider them cool looking rather than just odd.

On a completely different note, you guys remember that Cheerios commercial a year or two back that got a bunch of people up in arms because it depicted an interracial couple with a child? Well, I don't know how many of you watch youtube without an ad blocker, but they've bee playing the upcoming Super Bowl commercials before videos lately, and Cheerios' not only stars the same interracial family, but the mother is pregnant again.

Cheerios. An important part of your daily "fuck you" to racists. cool
