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!

Yeah Vinyl would be screwed out of her music for the day if she didn't have a spare.

Apparently today's edition of IPT has memetic potential? I dunno why, but someone used the "exploitable meme" tag on it.

It makes no sense to me, either. Some other tag I used must have added that tag automatically.

Which reminds me I need some new phones for my Ipod touch so I can bring it with me when I'm going to college.

And you can grab a pair of earphones anywhere, have spares like Vinyl did, bum some from a friend.

And yeah some schools might be decent, mostly the ones you need to have rich parents to get into.

@Seraphem Well I just need ones that don't break so easily. Ones that don't tangle up as it were.

@ Star, well, let us know when you find those. Somewhere nearby might be a RL unicorn as well.

@Seraphem: Point. Still, I think confiscating the headphones is a perfectly valid action in that case, given that they can apparently play loud enough that everyone around her starts dancing along. I can safely say that a lot of teachers will let you get away with a lot as long as you aren't distracting anyone else.

Also, when someone finds non-tangling earbuds, they will be rich.

@Seraphem Yeah and I'LL be sure to write a check for Angelica Jolie. But whatever earphones are earphones right? Right.

Except that at that point, they WEREN'T loud. I doubt it was able to make cars bob in time with it, o shake the ground. Let alone the walk sign. It was the whole musical number not really being what's happening thing. When we shift back to 'real' just before she bumps into not!Celestia, you can barely hear the music.

[up] Doesn't mean she's aloud to have them. Headphones were confiscated at my old high school all the time because they were deemed distracting, regardless of how loud the music was.

Are we seriously nitpicking this?

Yes, we are.

I'm just saying taking the headphones, and not the player itself, makes no damn sense.

But also like I said, school administrator.. so par for the course.

[down]Yeah I'm not arguing with her taking them, that's just the normal shit you deal with in school. I'm talking about how stupid taking the headphones, but not the player itself was.

Confiscation is maybe a step or two above a verbal reprimand. Vinyl is likely a repeat offender of being late to class because she didn't hear the school bell (and somehow also didn't notice that the halls are strangely empty).

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

@Orion It's more or a less a distraction than anything. Especially lessons.

Screw it, I'm not going to argue something this stupid. I'm in a sour enough mood as it is.

That is another step or two above taking just the headphones. Celestia might resort to that if Vinyl outright skips class or otherwise becomes disruptive to other students.

I'm just going to go with what Kyler said. It's basically a step above telling her not to wear them, but a step below confiscating the ipod, which is very expensive. As somebody who actually works in a school, it's basically a case of "No headphones, and if I catch you again, I'll take the ipod too." It's how (good) discipline works; you don't jump to the most extreme punishment unless the rules are being broken in an exceptionally flagrant manner.

But yeah, it's dumb to keep arguing something so minor.

Punishment in school is arbitrary. The main purpose is to make you rethink your actions and behave better In the future.

At least earbuds aren't so loud.

Headphones aren't either. Though headphones are more visible than earbuds and hence more distracting.

Anyway, I think it's pretty clear that the other stuff wasn't literally happening.
