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.

     Original OP text 
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!

Because nobody will read it if there isn't a cover image.

It's well known that, all else being equal, a fic with good cover art draws more readers than one without.

Okay...withering view of those deemed not competent enough, borderline fascist behavior, veiled xenophobia. Seabreeze is going to be the villain of the S5 arc.

Oh fuck. This episode is turning into Pattycakes. If Flutters pulls out microscopic diapers made from pipe cleaners, I'm out of here.

Wait, Seabreeze is a dude?

Doctor and Rose. Cue fan speculation.

"Does this bring to mind any images for you?" *waggles plot*

Probably more images than you intended, Flutters.

OH GOD, PINKIE. How did you get that line onto a kids' show?! o_0

I have a spare email I can use for the round robin, I'd just need to set up an account with it.

Same

Why do a need an image?

People won't read it if it doesn't have an image.

I like the first one, crop it so you just see pumpkinlestia and Octavia on her cello, really matches the WTF of the story.

I was thinking we should just make a crappy photoshop of Octavia standing on top of a train, holding her cello like a weapon, with Celestia making the Sweet Bro And Hella Jeff face and a badly pixellated explosion in the background.

And Spike causes the episode conflict. Dammit man you had ONE JOB.

Actually, he had no jobs at all.

And it's actually Swedish, not Welsh. :P

Alternatively, we don't even need Celestia to be in the picture. Make it so that going in, the only thing the reader knows is that it's about Octavia, who is on a train.

@ Meta: Nah, it's just like with the description. Lure them in with a good looking story and spring the WTF on them while their head is turned.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WORDS GO, OKAY

Okay, that was a fun episode. Bit middle of the road, but hit the right notes. I do like how while the other elements' keys were about keeping their virtue under pressure, Fluttershy's key was actually about not overdoing it.

Seriously though, how the hell did Pinkie sneak that line in without a censor losing their shit?

Okay, new episode next if I can find it.

Okay, first...I get to wonder why searching for a pony episode on Youtube brings up "Hot Girls Don't Poop."

Dammit, it's a CMC episode. Quick, set the bar low!

Granny Smith is about to induct them into her super-secret Ponynati cult.

Which line are you referring to?

And yeah, I think that the WT Fery of the story is almost funnier if it sneaks up on the reader, because the thing doesn't really go off the rails until a few thousand words in.

Nah, more of an Applebloom and Applejack episode, with the other CMC assisting.

[up][up]"I love trying new things that make me feel funny at first!" Maybe it jsut stood out more because it was right after Fluttershy's "does this give you any images?" line while in costume and wiggling her ass. I mean, Jesus. [lol]

Same way they got Fluttershy shaking her butt at Big Macintosh in "Filli Vanilli".

That, and creamy, creamy frosting.

Also, I have managed to uncover a few images that put Octavia and Celestia in a romantic light... but they're from Ask Molestia, so I think we're probably not gonna be using them.

I love how Applejack is usually by far the sanest one around, but under a very narrow set of circumstances she can give Rarity and Twilight a run for their bits on neurosis.

She also apparently thinks Apple Bloom is a complete invalid that tries to headbutt her way into closed drawers or something. Granted the CMC often reinforce this notion...

Standing in the kitchen talking to yourself. You're gonna go far with those aspirations, kid.

Oh no. What is it with this season and clinginess themes?

Ceiling Applejack is watching your development being stunted.

Holy crap this pony works fast. If she ever has foals of her own, that house is gonna have the shit baby-proofed out of it. She's probably going to literally baby-proof the shit right out of the baby.

I really hope somebody does a R34 fuel compilation image when the season is over. Like that one that came out after the first few episodes.

Yeah. I speculated earlier today that ponies are more prone to monomania than humans are. Apparently when AJ gets hit by it, she gets hit hard, fixating on one idea to the exclusion of all else, including common sense. "I need to harvest all those apples myself!" "I need to make sure everypony has fun at this reunion whether they like it or not!" "My little sister needs to be protected!"
