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.

Exactly.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play- shrug* I'm just calling it how I see it. And thinking of the load of manure that I would have ended up in if I pulled anything like that.
You know, I once accidently hurt my my step-sister in a swimming game. I stopped playing swimming games completely. In fact, I went ... more than five years (might have been closer to ten) without swimming. At all.
But maybe dark has a point.

I don't see how her actions in that instance aren't understandable. I may not agree with them but I don't see any way it doesn't make sense.
It's Nightmare Night.
Luna shows up, acting scary.
Pinkie acts like she's scared, when she's actually having a blast, on a holiday about trying to scare people.
What's the problem with that logic?
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Well I don't see people acting like that IRL on Halloween, but YMMV I guess.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Playtoday on the Pony Thread: an analysis of Pinkie Pie.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Yeah, I'm with Ike on this one. People complaining about Pinkie acting scared is like going to a haunted house and then acting scared of the guy in a ghost costume. You know he isn't real, but that's part of the experience. Luna shows up looking terrifying, Pinkie thinks "She's doing that on purpose" and plays along. Nothing wrong with that train of thought. The real problem with Pinkie is that she didn't realize that everyone else is legitimately scared of Luna, and should've tried to convince them that Luna was just playing along with the holiday.
@Crimson: Beats shipping people with pony sockpuppets.

Reaction Image Repository@Story We kinda have from year 2011, but it hasn't developed into a tradition. Nothing serious, maybe a couple of really progressive schools celebrating it.
It's not part of Orthodox holiday pack, so for us it's essentially a foreign holiday. Our churches bark at it like they bark at anything with the word "fun" in it.
Nightmare Night isn't Haloween. It may have some superfucial resemblence to it, but the fact that there are differences is actually important to the plot. So, we mustn't complain about differences from RL when the differences are actually meant to be there.
Similarly, Hearth's Warming Eve has more in common with Thanksgiving (using my limited knowledge as we don't have Thanksgiving) rather than Christmas.
(Haloween is ... acknowledged here, but we don't really do anything. Occaisionally there will be some trick or treating, whih I've done, but not much. Of course, we are far less over the top about Christmas than the States as well, so yeah.)

I don't really do jack for Halloween either, but it's less for any sort of religious reasons (my parents were pretty good about recognizing that it was mostly harmless) and more that I live in an apartment building and as a result there's no real reason to decorate or anything.
Reaction Image RepositoryI can kinda see the appeal as a kid, but once you're too old for trick or treating I don't really see what the big deal is.
I love how Twilight's reaction is just "WTF are you doing? I'm trying to read."
But yeah, if they would ever make a CGI version of the show for some reason it is possible to make the designs look not-horrible.

Reaction Image RepositoryI've always liked Halloween. I enjoy the macabre tone of the time, and dressing up is fun. Plus, it takes place right around my favourite time of the year, the late-fall transition to winter.
A friend of mine has parents of the "It's evil and we're good Christians" camp - Not to try and denigrate the mindset, but, well... it just seems rather silly to me. Especially so since the modern name comes from All Hallows eve - that is, the evening of all hallowed. Before changing to it's current incarnation, when the Christian church was making it big in Europe they forced the locals to change the holiday(as they were wont to do, and what lead to most western Holidays as we know them) so that instead of celebrating all those who had died in the past year, they only celebrated saints.
Which is completely aside from the fact that none of that matters anymore anyways. It's really just costumes-and-candy day. Which if you ask me is worth celebrating anyway.

Yeah, that baffles me too.

Are you still on Winter Wrap Up, or did you get through that one?

Yeah, I think we should call this particular topic quits. We're starting to run it into the ground and everyone knows everyone elses positions on the matter and likely won't be swayed.
