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!

So, earlier while listening to music, I tried just listening, with no expectations or conceptions, just trying to listen and feel what I heard, relaxing as my therapist advised. It brought me to a crying fit and I pushed hard to keep crying as long as I could and it seemed for lack of a better phrase, to flip a switch in my brain and suddenly there was a huge rush of sensations all at once.

The high's mostly gone by now, but I think it awoke a little passion in me. At any rate, I feel a slight tingle after doing something likable, as apposed to it dying away into numbness per usual.

That's great Dark... I think?

I've heard before that Depressed people tend to get emotions back in big... less than pleasant bursts, so... at least it's improvement? Still doesn't sound fun, but...

Hopefully it means you're recovering.

Incidently, I just finished watching Unsere Muetter Unsere Vaeter. That was sure something.

Edit: Wait, that Polish boy was a woman the whole time? Wow.

Post of the Day #741

Finally got around to watching the new episode. Murder Mode!Fluttershy is probably the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life.

Aside from reading about a psychic ten-year-old being brutally totured by a cosmic god of war. Though, upon retrospect, that was more amusing than scary.

I must have a really sheltered life if I can safely say one of the things that scares me most is a cartoon pony experiencing a nervous breakdown.

Hi, I'm brand new to the forums here, but I've been watching Fi M about a year and a half now. Ponies are pretty much the only reason I visit TV Tropes.

@Dark: I know how that feels; I've been living with an atypical depression - doesn't respond to SSR Is - for over two decades. Finding MLP-Fi M actually helped pull me out one of my deepest pits of despair.

I just felt a need to comment on a couple things I noticed in this thread. First of all, regarding Twilight and time travel...you guys remember when Pinkie said "You can only use it once", right? Secondly, the Pony of Shadows'...well, shadow...had a pointed hat with a bent peak. Who do we know with such a hat?

Also, regarding Season 5 speculation, I couldn't help but notice nobody mentioned Fluttershy's Cute Little Fangs at the end of "Bats!" Considering some of the other plot threads the writers have gone back to from previous seasons, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Flutterbat makes another appearance.

It'd be neat, but we need to see the comeback of The Pony of the Shadows first.

Still, I can well imagine Discord gleefully bonding with Fluttershy over her new Chimera status. And asking if she's like a nice pair of antlers, maybe.

I think the green energy from "Inspiration Manifestation" will find the Pony of Shadows, and she won't be so Great and Apologetic anymore. (Yes, I'm with Sethisto on this one - she's the most likely candidate. Note the brim of the hat.)

It would be strange if we didn't follow up on at least one of these strange cliffhanger threads, considering they came rather close to each other. It would also be a bit disappointing if they really were just there for a one-and-done 'DUN DUN DUN' moment.

Also, a hearty welcome to you sage.

I have a question for you guys. How would you react if they decided to do some of the songs ala Phineas and Ferb, by having somebody other than one of the characters sing during a song, such as one of the song writers?

It would be pretty jarring for a while. Par for the course for anything involving a change in the way things are done.

Would be jarring, especially for a show like this using a ensemble cast we've grown to be very familiar with doing the singing.

Speaking of, glad Rebecca was able to put in two songs for the finale. I think my Rainbow Rocks theory holds, that the movie made her unavailable for the season, thus why she doesn't have a written part for any songs up until now.

So big question, what's next for ponies? Twilight has a castle now, with a chair for everyone. How is that going to effect things?

Who do we know with such a hat?

Zecora? Anyway, welcome ot the thread!

I suspect that's what they were for, butthe way the show goes, they might get mined later anyway.

Yup, the Friendship Counsel. If they had court cases as well, it could turn into a Phoenix Wright thing. Or, idk, it's apparently the popular thing to do with trials, but it's been overused even for pony crossovers.

@Dark: Here's hoping you can keep progressing. smile
