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.

@Syd: Because February 1 is during winter in the Northern Hemisphere in real life, so people were thinking that it should be winter in the show as well. However, Hearts and Hooves Day is their equivalent of Valentine's Day but it wasn't snowy or notably cold in that story either.
Conclusion: Equestria is in the Southern Hemisphere and Hearth's Warming Eve is June 25th instead of December 25th!
(or the obvious answer that a place like that wouldn't have the same exact calendar we do anyway, although they do have months of some sort)
Edit: Ninja'ed!

Thanks.
Ah, high-traffic time on Derpi. It's like being back on dial-up. In Antarctica.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I saw the episode, finally. Now I can talk to people again!
Hi everyone! Hi Gwen! How's it going?
I have strep throat, and I got it from my sister. It sucks. But my birthday is tomorrow so that should be good.
The episode was good, but that was a lot of singing. And it kinda bugs me that Cheese got his cutie mark because of Pinkie. Why did they have to do that?

http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/"Dear Diary,
In addition to making a new friend, and seeing Pinkie grow as a party planner, today I made a landmark discovery in my ongoing study of the thaumic sciences. We met an Earth Pony who has the same extrasensory perception as Pinkie, which she refers to as her Pinkie Sense. I look forward to using this discovery in my exploration of non-unicorn magic."
if only I had a phone.
Also the episode was great! It was Pinkie who inspired Al and all in the beginning? Wow! Plus, this was just Pinkie Pie the musical, like every episode showcasing her.
"Dear diary, Mrs. Pinkie Sandwich Pie
Love, PP<3"

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceIt's possible they use winter as a time for the ponies to not have to do their usual work. They harvest their crops, store them, take winter off, and clear winter out so they can start growing food again.
Also, ponies like snowball fights and gingerbread houses, and that's as good an excuse as any to have winter.
Makes me wonder how an Earth Pony develops a sense. It's obvious that Pinkie and Cheese follow similar life-styles, but perhaps it's an inborn talent?
I presently just use the Safari that came with it. But there are Chrome apps, right?
Do any of the Chrome apps allow for Flash?

I have a message from another time...@Enlong: Flash isn't used on mobile platforms nowadays unless you have an older version of Android (4.03 or earlier) and dig around the Adobe site to find the .apk installer for Flash for Android, since the Play Store no longer distributes it. Main reason is that Flash is so taxing on the mobile hardware it merrily devours battery power. A number of sites have Mobile versions or html5 variants though, and a number of things have app variants (Dunno if Adblock Plus is available for Chrome or Firefox for Android though)
@Dalek: Earth Ponies get a kind of Force Sensitivity apparently.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!Enlong- yeah, there's a chrome app.
The reason I'm bringing it up is I'm having a weird issue with my phone. On chrome, when I load a new page on tvtropes, half the time it automatically sends me to the app store to get me to download a game (and it's not even the same game each time). I'm wondering why. Is it like a weird mobile popup ad thing? Is it because I signed up for Pinterest last night when I was bored? Is it because of one of my other apps?

After Chrome’s recent extension drama, what browser has the safest add-ons?
I don't have this problem on my laptop, where I also use chrome. so I would be surprised if it's an extension. I'll look into that though.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/@Ike: It's the most likely thing, as Android apps are sandboxed to some degree and shouldn't be able to tamper with host routing or things like that unless you're running as Superuser (which you should not be unless you're rooted and running a custom ROM).

Fun fact, William Anderson the series background music composer used to be in Weird AL's band. Also, Danny Boy worked with Al to compose the songs, and did the polka bits. Also there's bits of the Brony Polka song in his latemotif.
