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.

@Ike: That would actually be really interesting. Secondary characters could get more elements or something.

I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Snowdrops: Element of Clichés. Or Element of Unfortunate Implications. You decide.
Also, you know what would be awesome? A subversion of the horrible "Doing hurtful things to your waifu" meme featuring Twilight being the victim, but instead of getting upset and crying, she get's increasingly pissed off and annoyed as it goes on, and when the anon breaks up with her, he gets a face full of harmful magic blasted at him.
Neither do I, I was just joking. I actually think she's kind of cute, but I understand why Dark hates her.

So I've been looking for a pay timer to try some money stuff, but I can't find the right kind. Everything I can find is one where you input your dollars per hour, start the timer, and it tells you how much you've earned. What I want is one where you input a total money value, start the timer, and it tells you what your dollars per hour are. I don't suppose any of you know where I could go for that? Or even how to get google to search for the one I want?
Can't you just divide the total amount earned by the number of hours worked?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayCan't you just divide the income by the number of hours you worked? On a calculator?
son of a bitch.

http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/It's not wrong, it's production order, not airing order. Same reason Games ponies Play and Just for Sidekicks aren't back to back in season 3.
You want to figure out how what $/Hour you are making doing something, basic math will do that, so, what is it specifcly that you need a timer for?

@Seraphem. I've argued this one a lot, but come on look at her speech near the end.
Celebrating Spring is good, but Winter can't be all bad if it gives us these. It maybe cold, and dark, but that doesn't mean there isn't any good to it. Maybe, maybe Winter is sad that everypony doesn't like it. So, maybe we need to make wishes on the winter snow, just like how we wish on the night stars. Maybe then we can have a happy Winter instead. We already have a happy Summer, and Spring, and Fall. Can't Winter be happy too? Because Winter, it's important. Even if it seems useless, it can give us wonderful things.
About as unsubtle as a brick to the face.
And seriously, why go out in what's stated to be the worst blizzard of an already cold season to sit around and wish because you can hear the stars twinkle.
And neither the jerkish fillies nor the irresponsible teacher are brought to task for the needless dickery, and everyone only seems to remember her positively because she wasn't useless.
Head, meet keyboard. I think you'll get along quite nicely.

And? So what? yeah being subtle can be nice, but lack of it does not equal bad either. Again Christmas special, those can get away with being extremely blunt and still be simply amazing quite easily.

Storm seems to have died down by the evening when she was doing that. And why not? It's something that used to make her at least a little happy, and she really needed cheering up. Was it smart, not really. Was it something someone would easily do when in that state of mind Yes.
And neither the jerkish fillies nor the irresponsible teacher are brought to task for the needless dickery,
Just like about 99% of all jerkass kids that make someone else life miserable and the useless teachers that let them. And this far tamer and no where near as bad as most cases of bullying.
everyone only seems to remember her positively because she wasn't useless.
You mean, like EVERYONE anyone remembers? Cause if you did something worth remembering, by definition you weren't useless. And it was what she did that she was remembered for. So not sure what the issue is here either.
Did it lay things on a bit thick with the set up and try to hard to make us feel sorry for Snowdrop? Yeah. Was it still effective and still amazingly beautiful, touching and heartwarming despite that? Again yeah.
Shouldn't be hard to whip up a piece of javascript. Where are you getting the data from though?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Seraphem: I'm going to have to agree with Dark on this one. That animation is the very definition of Glurge. There's good cheesy and bad cheesy, and I think this one pushed the Too Good for This Sinful Earth angle and Purity Sue cards too hard. Though I think the single issue that stuck out most to me is how they decided to end it by having Luna talk about how awesome she was, even though their only interaction was Snowdrop's speech. Which itself boils entirely down to "Winter doesn't have to suck". Which is true, but the way they had her describe it just seems lacking. It's nowhere near as effecting as the animation frames it.
But the one issue that I think was more or less built into the premise is that Snowdrop just isn't a very well-rounded character. Her only flaw is her blindness, and in the end that turns out to be a good thing for her.
This is enormously a YMMV issue. There are plenty of people who don't consider it any of those things. Does it have beautiful, touching, or heartwarming moments? You could argue that. Amazing? I don't think so. There was some potential there, but it was too heavyhanded. Rather than just being heartwarming, it went overboard and ended up more as "DO YOU HAVE FEELS YET? HAVE SOME FEELS"

I just thought of something. The "seed" box that the tree of harmony made produced the tree-castle in the season 4 finale. So, that means both the "trees" are the same species, right? And the original tree of harmony grew the elements of harmony. So does that mean the tree-castle could potentially grow new elements of harmony?
