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.

Of course, the cynical answer to the Scootaloo question is "No, because she can't fly and couldn't take of even if she wasn't on a treadmill."

I think that's why I'm so into slice of life and shipping fics. I'm just sick of bloated doorstopper grim dark fics. A lot of it just seems to be done for shock value or to ram down our throats how shitty the world is. Which defeats the purpose of writing stories about friendship and ponies to begin with.
It'd be nice if Scootaloo got into conventional aeronautics and learned to fly without the need for her wings.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!![]()
I find it kind of ironic that you say that, seeing as how your a big fan of Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons, which I've heard has a huge tendency to cause Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy and is ridiculously grim from what I've heard too.
But in all seriousness, that's how I feel about Dark Fic's in the fandom too, or at least the ones that aren't done properly {Very few of them are}. I'm especially not fond of the ones that have Character Derailment.

Whether they could in the original books or not, they definitely can't in MOR.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Star Awesome. I have no work today. I'm just watching Rap Critic.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau Project@Dark: I feel the same way. When I want that sort of stuff, I read A Song Of Ice And Fire.
Reaction Image RepositoryI'm not sure if I would watch Game of Thrones or not. I guess it's not really for me. *shrugs*

Well, The Mars Volta has been in my head for a while...again. I've tried to listen to other things but it always goes back to the Volta.
*Quietly shuffles dark tag stories under the rug.* >.>
Dark: Heh, that's kind of weird to read for me. I didn't like the original enough (got the darkness-induced apathy for a large portion of it, myself) to have a go at Project Horizons, but it's become kind of ingrained in my head as "that fic that never ends". >.>
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshi@Dark: I'd disagree. I mean, we could say, "Hey, the world may be 'shitty', but we still have friendship and ponies".
(Of course, I'm apparently rather cynical for a brony)
Oh joy. More random mutilating of the setting to fit with the author's tract. You're not helping.
