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.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.@CDRW: if there's a well-stocked library in your area, you could try looking for how-to books there. that's how i started.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.You know, I wonder if I could do an entire Nuzlocke run without saving. How long does the game take to finish?
I remember a couple years ago when I attempted a speed run of Blue, I got 5/8 badges in 2 hours, but that was with a lot of save scumming to beat the game as fast as possible (and of course people have beaten the entire game in less than 2 hours).
Still I think it should be possible to catch a Mew while technically remaining within the rules of the Nuzlocke, and of course Mew makes everything way easier.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWryte- I've been at work today, so I haven't made much progress in a while. I'm currently training my new Drowzee and Diglett before I take on the S.S. Anne.

Flies. Why did it have to be flies?
I've seen tons of cockroaches. It's probably just a matter of where you live.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah, the idea I got from Maud is that she was doing her best to involve herself in what the Mane 6 were doing, but she also too honest to pretend that she's enjoying them if she isn't. And on the flip side, the mane cast tried to do something she enjoyed. I think it's pretty obvious that it's a case of "there's nothing wrong with either party, but they just don't have enough in common to get along easily". That said, I bet if they hung around enough they'd eventually learn to read her a bit better, but it's not practical or necessary.

on something of a bit less downish, I found this kinda cool cover of Rainbow Factory.
Re: Maud and activities
I think the problem (with the situation, not with the writing) is that the way Pinkie described Maud earlier, the rest of them ended up building a different mental image of Maud than what she actually was.
Also, I think all of them put too much focus on doing what they enjoyed doing and hoping Maud would enjoy it too, and perhaps not enough on getting to know Maud and whether she was having a good time as well.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...@JT: I'm still not convinced that Maud wasn't enjoying herself. Given Pinkie's later assurance that an unenthusiastic "sure" was the most excited she's ever seen Maud, it's entirely possible that she was having the time of her life hanging out with the cast, and that they misinterpreted her natural stoicism as disinterest. I sort of went over this a bit already, but Maud did engage in all the activities the mane six tried to do with her, she was just getting something different out of it than they were expecting. For example enjoying the local geology instead of the local wildlife. Doesn't mean she wasn't having fun, it was just not what Fluttershy expected.

You know, Maud would be the perfect candidate for a When She Smiles moment. Too bad it's in-universe examples only.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...So I found this short but really awesome video. If only Twilight's transformation into an alicorn had been like that, it would have been more epic.
@Crow: It's probably somewhere in the middle. I don't think it was "having the time of your life" level enjoyment, or she wouldn't have left town so readily. I don't think she was miserable either, but she clearly didn't think it was awesome either.
