Go To

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.

     Original OP text 
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!

When I read comics I tend to prefer stuff that isn't going to continue indefinitely. So stuff like Sandman that tells a full story beginning to end. I did read Ultimate Spider-Man for awhile though, I liked that.

Yeah main reasn the only comic I follow is Pony.

To much backstory, to much you miss out on. To many stupid decisions fucking over the stories, just to hard to keep track of it all, and all for little payout.

I mean, why else would Scoots want a sister figure so badly? I mean not that I'm going for the easy she's an orphan deal, but there's not much else to conclude. We saw her house in Flight to the Finish, and not there. Equestria Games? Nope.
I can think of a few alternatives.

  • Scoots is an only child. Boom, no siblings, period.
  • Scoots only has brothers, no sisters. (And if this is in fact the case, I can relate pretty well.)
  • Scoots had a sister, but she died in a tragic accident of some sort.

Keep in mind that it's easy to not show a character for some reason or another. Like they had things to do and just happened to be out at that time. Or Scootaloo is a latchkey kid of some sort, I dunno.

Or Scootaloo has siblings with whom she doesn't have a good relationship, and she envies that Sweetie belle and AB do have good relationships with their sisters.

Is the thread dead again? Geez, I'm running out of phoenix downs.

Anyway, here's a topic for your humans; what do pegasus wings look like if they were stripped of their feathers?

If you know where to find phoenixes, they aren't hard to come by.

@Orion God I don't think I want that happening to any pegasi whatsoever if someone were to pluck all their feathers off.

I can't find it on Derpibooru now, but there was a comic that came out just after "Sleepless in Ponyville" with the punchline that Scootaloo is Fluttershy's younger sister.

One of our IPT posts said that Scoot's siblings hate her because she's an only child. tongue

@Meta: I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to, but it's similar.

Also, the main thing that we need to keep in mind when thinking about parents is what Kyler said: It's easier to not include a character than to include them. They aren't going to show Scootaloo's parents unless there's a good in-story reason.

I just hijacked a city. A small one that's shaped like a boat, but still, a city. That is awesome.

I would assume they resemble (raw) chicken wings.

For those who like Dusky, I've got a drawing of her and several related characters for you. Finally got that sequel to The Necromancer's Ambition started and the first chapter up on FiMFic (which this is the cover for).

I am getting seriously fed up with the ad videos at the bottom of the forum pages. They just keep blasting me with half a second of sound at random intervals and slowing down the whole damn browser.

I'd been putting off installing ad block for years. It was the annoying ads on this site that finally made me get it.

I didn't have Adblock for years, for the same reason I used Internet Explorer for years- I wasn't very tech savvy and wasn't really aware of the alternatives. I've come a long way since then.

I've been putting it off because I don't want to block the ads in videos for guys like Linkara or the Nostalgia Critic, since that's where they get their income from, but blech. Anybody recommend a particular one?
