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!

That probably would have been somewhere around 100 pages.

That wasn't when I found the thread, that was when I found out how damn awesome Ponies are. Thread was the first place I came since I already lurked on the site quite a lot. It was kind of the site that got me to try it. Well more that I looked over and saw "Damn, this looks good!" After first learning about it from SF Debris.

I was lurking through the last half of S1, but I didn't start posting until the gap between seasons. I think.

I'm sure Story could look up when everybody's first posts were.

I showed up shortly before the first thread's demise, I think.

As for Tirek being immortal... He wasn't. He escaped from Tartarus. You know, the underworld? He was dead. So technically the Tirek we saw was either zombified or brought back to life when he escaped.

I can't quite remember when I first started posting here. I'm pretty sure I lurked for a while beforehand, though.

I joined the old thread sometime around the start of Season 2.

Well, nothing says the you have to DIE to be sent to tartarus, quite the opposite given the Princesses all ended up there.

You have a point there. Maybe it's not that Tirek was dead when he went there, so much as he didn't have to be alive to stay there. I don't know, it's complicated.

I lurked a lot on the site before, but it was ponies that pushed me to actually make an account. I think it was during the brief break after Cutie Mark Chronicles.

I'm pretty sure that "It's About Time" established that Tartarus is more of a prison than any sort of afterlife. The name is just there to sound ominous.

Well, in Greek myth, Tartarus is both a prison for powerful immortal beings and a place of torment for wicked souls. It was also considered a conscious primordial entity, like Gaia or Nyx.

Not about the finale, but I keep looking at fanart for Daymare Sun (which is what I call her...elsewhere she's just Nightmare Celestia or "Solar Flare"), and she's actually way scarier than Nightmare Moon ever was.

For one, she's older, so probably more powerful, and for two the light and heat from the sun is way more dangerous than just "dark" magic from a seemingly perpetually lit full moon.

That'd be a great episode idea though...Celestia getting possessed by Luna's leftover dark shadow and becoming an enemy of Equestria...or is that too dark?

We just capped off S4 with what was basically a demonic parasite from Hell. Dark Celestia would actually be a step down.

It would be a step down in power, but definitely a step up in emotional torque. Forcing Twilight to take on her mentor would make for some really interesting possibilities.

I think I was lurking since a bit after Owl's Well, but didn't post at all until a week or so after Best Night Ever aired.

EDIT: Episode name oops.

My first post was on page 10124. I'd been a fan of the show for some time before that, though.

@Teeth Something about Twilight remembering everything Celestia taught her when she wasn't Brainwashed and Crazy and being emotionally conflicted about taking on her mentor for the sake of the world? ...country...nation...

I wonder what kind of equinity-threatening catastrophes happen on the other side of that map...

@ JT: Coincidentally, there's a "Twilight vs Dark Celestia (and Luna)" storyline happening in the comic, and Twi is facing a moral crisis.

There were that many pages when I joined. We were well above that by the time the thread got nuked. I want to say somewhere in the 50k range, but I don't remember for certain.
