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!

-walks back in, covered in snow, but with a mad grin- I'm back from plowing snow outta the driveway!

@Pinkie pets: I'm sure if she could, she'd have many pets, but not many cats. She doesn't want to become a crazy cat pony now.

Okay. The customer I mentioned came back. Somehow she did NOT know the person she was looking for (the owner of the shop across the street) worked at the shop across the street. She thought she worked here.

You'd think me calling that shop and the telling her that they aren't open would have cleared that up. Or at least prompted her to say "what are you talking about? Doesn't she work here?"

I don't get people sometimes.

We first see the turkey at the Turkey Call contest.

The next we see it is when Pinkie has it sitting on Gummi's mouth, next to her. How did it get there? The show doesn't tell us, so assuming she took it herself is fair.

@Dark: Actually, she might be able to manage a cat. All you really have to do for cats is to remember to leave food out. The cat would probably look like crap, but she probably wouldn't kill it. Not to mention that the Cakes would probably remind her.

Well, short-hair cats will do all the work on grooming themselves.

So will long-hairs, but they'll leave hairballs around, which... are rather unseemly.

Pinkie doesn't seem the type to worry about hairballs. She'd probably try to knit them into a sweater or something.

I assumed it was just wandering through the crowd.

I don't remember the cannon part. I was talking about the bg of the fondue scene.

Yech, I just got home after spending the day at my sister's, and I'm feeling slightly annoyed. Just before I was home free, I had to make a decision that I couldn't win, and now I feel bad over not winning.

If you'd indulge me over a slight rant, I feel like pouring it out for a moment.

Basically, just before I got to the subway home, I was stopped by this desperate-sounding guy in his late twenties. He told me that he needed ten euros so he could register for a few nights at the local Salvation Army, and begged me to please, please, please help him before all the beds are taken. Or something like that, he was talking rather fast and desperate.

At the time, I was perfectly aware of the possibility that I was being scammed. Unfortunately, there was nothing about the guy that was actually objectionable, apart from looking a bit scruffy like you'd expect from a homeless man. He didn't smell of pot, his eyes were clear, and spoke Dutch with only a slight "ghetto" (forgive me for using that word) accent. For all I knew, this really was a guy down on his luck begging me for help.

So yeah, I asked myself "What would a good person do". Within less then a second, the answer that came up was "A good person would find that the possibility of helping an obviously desperate man outweighs the risk of being scammed, especially since you don't really need the money yourself. Give him the money and don't look back."

So I did. I told him to stay put while I ran to an ATM (you'd be amazed how hard it is to type a PIN number while a guy is shouting multiple variations of gratitude from the other end of the street) and gave him the ten.

And now I'm home, and I'm slowly realising that I might not actually be that great of a person, because the possibility that I had been suckered keeps eating at me, and probably will for the entire night. The fact that I would probably do the same thing again when given the chance doesn't really help, because I'd apparently rather be a sucker than a selfish scrooge.

You know, this is kind of what Rarity Takes Manehattan was about, non? People might take advantage of your generosity, but it's better to remain generous despite the risk, for you might actually help someone.

Doesn't change the fact that I'll probably feel like a sucker for a day or so, but yeah, I suppose it really does beat being a scrooge.

[up]Well, what's done is done, so there's no point in worrying about it. At worst you're out ten euros, which sucks, but it's hardly the end of the world. And on the chance that he really did need help, he didn't get screwed over.

I'd agree with that. because one day your likely going to run into someone who needs your help, so keep being generous because it could really help later.

^^^ If it makes you feel any better, I let myself get swindled out of almost a thousand dollars pretty much the exact same way over the course of a week back in college. I felt so stupid, weak, and helpless afterward that I've never told anyone about it, including the therapist I was seeing at the time.

Ouch, that sucks. Yeah, if it's a lot of money, or if somebody keeps coming back it's usually good to verify what's going on.

Yeah, thanks, guys. I just really shouldn't think about it too much. I mean, I did it because I want to be a good person, and occasionally getting taken advantage off kind of comes with the package.

And heck, maybe he really did need the ten, and I made his week.

@Wryte; dude, that's terrible.

The worst I ever got scammed was about 5 dollars when someone 'helped' me with the subway fare machine, my first time traveling alone. The funny part was that he tried to get even more by claiming that I had miscounted the change I had given him, when I knew exactly how much I had given him.

@ Kayeka: I think you did the right thing, and I wish I was able to do it more myself, but unfortunately I do need the money, and there's a lot of scammers in the area where I live so I tend not to trust anybody I meet on the street.

In other news. I just realized that the last four images I favorited on Deviantart are not pony related, meaning no pony shows up in the favorites section on my front page. I think that's a new record.

I got scammed out of 400 bucks hard earned from a job I despised because I had ccidentally caused a huge dent in the side of my mom's car and I so desperately wanted to absolve myself of he guilt of doing that. I lost money on a crappy partial fix.

I remember my mom taking me over to some old lady's house to teach her how to use gmail. It's amazing how she was unable to grasp even the most obvious things. It was like trying to teach someone to use a doorknob.
