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.

About goddamn time. That's what I've been saying fangames should be doing for months instead of trumpeting demos and shit so they can paint a big bullseye on their plot before it's done.

Once again, NOTHING was saying that it was either "Pinkie plans the party" or "Cheese plans the party" except Pinkie herself.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Except none of them 'abandoned' Pinkie. yeah they got swept up in this new things, but just ponies basic nature. They are easily swept up. Nopony turned their backs on Pinkie. While RD's little quip was taken wrong by Pinkie, she meant it well, it just came out, like it had passed through RD's brain.
Pinkie's Parties are great, but the party Cheese was going to plan would be bigger, more epic. Not better, just different. Pinkie tends to aim more for, social get together type parties. Smaller, more just about ponies hanging out with friends and having fun. While Cheese goes for the large, more over the top, tons of stuff to do, insane parties. Nopony said one was better then the other, simply different. Cheese was new.
Pinkie took it as being abandoned, because she has rather massive co-dependance issues. At no point did anypony ignore her, or push her away, she pushed herself away.
As to FIM, nothing. The guy making it never got a C&D. The most hasbro can do is issue one to him to stop distributing the game, but now that it's out, that wont do anything.

@i Nh Op El Es Sg Uy:
1. Welcome to the thread. We're all mad here.
2. Just to nitpick, Cheese Sandwich never intentionally attempted to steal Pinkie's thunder, and really he didn't. He showed up, did his song and the ponies went with him because Pinkie never really made any attempt to dissuade him. When he showed up at the beginning before starting his song it almost sounded like he was planning on teaming up with her, and then didn't because she backed off almost immediately. None of the other ponies had any idea that she was feeling so left out until she started the goof-off. Saying that they "abandoned" her makes it sound like they deliberately chose Cheese over her, when in reality it was more that they just went along with Cheese instead of Pinkie solely because Pinkie never expressed interest in the party after Cheese did his thing. If she would've followed and asked "Hey, can I help plan the party too?" they almost certainly would've let her.
@Rhyme: That about sums it up. The only pony who seemed to assume a "It's Pinkie or Cheese!" dichotomy was Pinkie herself. Everyone else probably just assumed that Pinkie was taking a break or something.

Reaction Image RepositoryYou know is is weird that my headcanon is that Cheese is still an introvert that just learned some social skills and really loves his job? Something about his flashback made me think he's naturally a bit of a loner and likes parties for the fun factor rather than him being really comfortable in crowds. Even now rather than travel with the large number of other professionals that he would logically need to make his parties happen, he travels alone with his rubber chicken.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Btw, to those playing Fighting is Magic, does anyone know what Fluttershy's lv 3 super, Confidence, does? Just from the activation, it looks like it's a Super Mode akin to Sol's Dragon Install, but just from quickly using it, I haven't seen any noticeable difference.
Right. Thanks for clearing that up!
Hi.
Call me Hopey.
I... uhhh... like Ponies? And music. And cake. I also like The Wonder Years and LIGHTS but those are music.
... And I don't know what else to say about myself.

I like that idea because otherwise he's a straight Rule 63 of Pinkie Pie. Also I need something to differentiate him from Pinkie in my hypothetical next gen fix where Cheese Pie happens.

@Seraphem: While that may be true, there is just a sense of fear of what could happen now that it has gone public. I was actually following it's underground development, and although he knew it would reach the public, he wanted to stay low key about it. He even closed his youtube and google account to do so. So to see EQD, one of the biggest brony sites, post it for all, including Hasbro, to see is rather unnerving.
And I know why Hasbro did it, but it felt like something died when it happened. I'm just really scared what could happen now.
