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!

@Story: For what it's worth, I enjoyed "Hitman".

@CD: You definitely made it alien enough. I do wonder if ya need more requests though... if so, try a pixelated drawing?

Another question- my mom saved some images from Facebook (using internet explorer if that matters). She right clicked them and hit the "save picture" option. When she goes to her pictures folder and opens them, it launches a link to her Facebook page.

What the hell happened, and how can we fix it so we save the actual picture, by itself?

They're basically constructs that are programmed for FUN and have no other substance.
The problem with that interpretation is that it implies that the clones were programmed. (So theoretically, might one be able to make a physical facsimile of Pinkie, but with a flanderized version of Fluttershy's personality?)

Personally, I'm in the "very low-res Pinkie xerox" camp.

Well, I'm sticking in the "They're like Replicas" camp, and maybe I'll try writing that scenario I mentioned some day.

No I'm skipping it because I already song it a long time ago back before I got into AT. Same with Wizard Duel. I think I'll rewatch What Was Missing though.

@Kyler: It's functionally the same, really. The point is that the clones are just facsimiles of what Pinkie wanted when she went into the pool rather than being actual clones of her.

Functionally as far as the episode goes, sure. When you start talking about fanfics, though, the differing implication could easily carry it in a number of different directions.

Facsimilies that were able to (mis)remember names and some of the other stuff Pinkie was trying to teach them, I just want to say. Perhaps, with time... ah, but the episode only covered about a day, so who knows?

I figured the Pinkie Clones were imitations of her surface thoughts, mood and personality at the time of creation, lacking her concrete memories and nuances.

Yeah. Memories are something you build up over time.

The main question is whether the clones can do that.

The main problem with that episode is nothing was explained. We know magic was involved in their creation, but we don't know what the magic did exactly. We don't know what Twilight's spell did exactly either, but it's implied it would have affected Pinkie somehow.

Not knowing how things work seems to be a recurring thing with this show.

Yeah. One of the most frustrating things about trying to worldbuild in a fanfic is that there are a ton of elements where it's clear the writers didn't really think about it and we'll never get a good explanation.

Okay, asking again just in case no one noticed the first time or something.

My mom is trying to save images from Facebook (by right-clicking and selecting the "save image" option). Her attempts so far have just created links to her Facebook page. We don't know why. Is there a way to actually save an image from Facebook?

@Ike: I have no clue, unfortunately.

Also, watching more Adventure Time. "Card Wars" is freaking hilarious. Finn has the best smug faces and Jake as a gamer nerd is amazing.

Also, I just saw an article online about a 13 year old who built a functioning fusion reactor.

I really hate geniuses. Comparing myself to normal people results in me feeling inadequate. Comparing myself to exceptional people makes me regret existing.

That is a terrible reason to hate someone.

Why are you even comparing yourself to other people, anyway? Nothing good ever comes of comparing people to each other.

You just have to remember that you don't have to be the best at anything to be able to contribute. Besides, what somebody else does doesn't make what you do any less important.

And now I really need to get some sleep, so I'm heading to bed.

I am comparing myself to them because I am a human being and it's a thing that I do.

Also, right-clicking the slide in powerpoint didn't present an option to set a picture as the background.
