My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Live Reactions & Discussion)

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!

I like that design. He looks simultaneously gentlemanly and maybe a bit surly.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Well done, Wryte!

They can't learn or change personality over time.

Ah, that was nice. Nothing quite like a smoothie to wake you up in the morning. Mine had banana, a few grapes, blueberries, a slice of pineapple, a carrot, some beets, and strawberry preserve.

New debate topic. If you placed Scootaloo on a scooter on a treadmill with the treadmill going backwards at the same speed, could she take off?
Depends on whether or not there are any perfectly spherical cows watching at the time.

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."

(Nostalgically recalls the innocent days of Scootabuse torturefics)

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.

Awesome weather

[up][up]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.tongue 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.

Don't have Google. Speaking of Google I saw a commercial today that was one of the most lying commercials ever. Either that or it relied on its viewers to be stupid. It named Google as an Internet provider. XD

Whether they could in the original books or not, they definitely can't in MOR.

@Marston. Got me there, sir. Touche.

I follow it still because of the massive amounts of character development and because I've followed the thing for so damn long I'm obligated to know how it ends. It's only got about 4 chapters left, so the end is at hoof.

*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". >.>

@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)

Whether they could in the original books or not, they definitely can't in MOR.

Oh joy. More random mutilating of the setting to fit with the author's tract. You're not helping.
