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.

@Wryte: I'd say maybe thursday. That's when Meta comes back, and he's basically the guy who ran the last one.
Reaction Image RepositoryYeah, Marcen is a bit crazy. And he tends to play up the crazy, especially when R Ping.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWe can't have every group effort be a round robin. Maybe the next one should be a square canary.

... I really don't like my sister.
She has told mom, and me, that if we leave her completely alone about doing her homework, and don't make her do assignments she fails to turn in on time, she will do her homework from now on.
Despite the fact that she has more late assignments than I can count, skips class on a regular basis, and is failing 3 of her classes.
We have no reason to trust her to do things her way, because she doesn't do anything.
She says that having mom repeatedly tell her that she has to do her work, punish her when she doesn't do her work, etc. makes her less motivated to do anything. How is giving her complete freedom going to help?
I love her. I care about her. Because she's family. And I'm worried that with her attitude, she's going to wind up homeless someday. But with her attitude, I don't want to help her if that happens.
It's emotionally draining to talk to her. I'm sorry for bothering you all about it so frequently but I need an outlet.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/@Ike: Yikes. I'm not going to lie, but I've had that feeling a couple times with my older brother, though not with homework, but the aloofness does prove to be evident. I do hope you make it through this time in life, Ike. -looks about, before gently patting Ike's shoulder-
I'm strongly in favor of rotund boobies.

Thanks, Nes.
It's hard being an older brother and watching your siblings fight with your parents. You love both of them and don't want to see them fight. But watching these two fight is about as productive as bashing your head against a wall. And I'd know. I've done both, a lot.
It's catch 22. My sister says she will be more responsible if she is given freedom. However, she hasn't shown any responsibility, so mom won't give her the freedom she wants.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/@Wryte: I feel like each successive fic should have increasingly ridiculous versions of that. Starts with Round Robin, then Square Pigeon, then Trapezoidal Ostrich, and eventually Rotund Boobie would come up. And of course because we're all so very mature, Cylindrical Cock would have to show up as well.
@Ike: Yeah, unless she proves that she's responsible, giving her more freedom is just going to make it worse. Only think I can think of would be if you went like "Fine, we'll give you a week to prove you can be responsible, and if you don't get everything done, back to the old rules". At least in that case if she fails and then complains, she wouldn't be able to say that you didn't give her a chance.
Reaction Image Repository@Ike: That's a really crappy position to be in. I've sort of been on your sisters end of it (I was a terrible student in high school) and I can say that she might honestly believe that she'll do fine if everyone gets off her back and lets her go at her own pace, but she is absolutely 100% wrong. Or maybe she's a slacker and is lying to everyone, I don't know. I eventually got better in college, but the longer you hang on to that attitude the more you're screwing up your own life.
JT- that's the thing, she isn't going to get it all done. One of my sister's rules is "no doing late work." Either she does it on time or she doesn't do it at all. And there's no way in hell mom is going to agree to that.
Crowfall- it's not so much she's a slacker, so much as she hates high school, rebels against authority in general so she resents her mother, and her OCD isn't helping. In my experience, you have to learn one way or another that you don't get to do things at your own pace. Unless you run your own business and live by yourself, you have to give in and do what other people tell you to, when they tell you to do it.
