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.

Is it bad that my reaction was 'wow, ponies have weird shaped hearts'?

This attitude towards your art will get your tumblr lots and lots of followers.
Also, "Relationship Status"? Please just be a Valentine's Day thing.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!@King Kix, definitely the art style. I have been having a mental debate with myself becuase I so desperately want to be a dick about what I say about it but I also don't want to be a harmful douchebag to someone learning to draw. I don't care about the content, the content of what you draw is your own business.
The Blog The ArtActually, it kind of is a good attitude to have, at least starting up.
Being concerned about ow your art looks is definitely a good motivation to improve, but if you take it too far it's also a good way to develop pretty severe neuroses about it and to wind up never showing it to anybody - you could be the best artist in the world and not know it because you've never been brave enough to show your art to anyone.
As long as he knows he needs to improve and tries to, putting his art out there is a good step. It helps acclimate you to criticism, especially if you start at an early stage, and having something consistent to work for makes doing stuff, and therefore getting better, easier to do.
That said being obstinate or defensive about the quality might not make him any friends, but I don't think that was his intention there.

I can tell that that post is about CRISIS Equestria. I'm guessing that Seraphem made it.
It's on Deviant Art? I didn't know they hosted fanfics. Back when I read it two years ago, it was just on Google Docs.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Kegisak: That's true up to a point, but when you're getting into a creative field with the intent of making a career out of it, you kinda have to do everything assuming that people are going to look at it. Not necessarily that you're deliberately pandering to others in terms of style or content, but that not caring about anybody's response but your own, when taken to a logical extreme, means you're going to brush over flaws that might not bug you, but will annoy other people. Pretty much every terrible fanfic that isn't Troll Fic is written with the mindset of "I'm going to write with a style and quality that I want without taking others into account".
That said, you don't want to go too far in the other direction either, but there's still a big difference between "writing/drawing exclusively what people want you to" and "writing with the knowledge that others are going to be looking at the product". In short you want to give only a few bucks at the start.

@Shota: Man, where's Twilight when you need her.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectWait. What are you talking about? CRISIS Equestria isn't hosted on Deviant Art.

I figured out the problem. Turns out they fixed the spacing by just deleting the old status and adding the corrected version.
