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!

Nope, I hate grimdark.

Dark... CAN be used right. Can make the story that much more powerful when the darkness is a contrast to the light. When the Darkness serves a purpose in the story. but if it's just dark for the sake of being dark?... Fuck that.

Here are those sketches again, for anyone who requested one but didn't see it. Next time I think I'll just PM people the requested them.

On the subject of dark fan work, I sort of wish there was a half way decent pony horror game. The only one I can think of is Luna Game, and that's just a bunch of jump scares.

Basically if it's treated like fanservice where it could be skipped and the event can be described in one sentence, then yes that's grim dark.

I'd consider that gorn, which I'm not really a fan of.

Oh yeah, been ages since I played that one. I guess it never really left an impact on me. I can't say I was ever that crazy about it, but it was alright.

Grimdark is often grouped up along with the dark tag or regular dark stories grouped up under the grimdark tag (depending on the site in question), which can make it difficult to even get people to approach regular dark in an unbiased fashion and that's if they even decide to grace the story by giving it a chance.

God. Dammit. One day too early to have Princess Luna for my spirit animal.

Had I been born three days earlier, I could have had a river alpaca. [lol]

@Meta: Thanks. I haven't done much drawing since June, so it was nice to do at least those little sketches. I wish I could do something with a little more effort, but I sadly lack the motivation. :V

Wryte: According to that... I have a river butterfly? Welp, pretty sure that drowned right away.

@Dark I'm sorry but that's not what I envision my spirit animal to be okay? I was hoping for a wolf there and wolves are cool...

So according to that... Flower Turtle is my spirit animal.

My Spirit Animal is Venasaur?

I don't care how badass butterflies are. Water does not mix well with insect wings. Mine shall henceforth be known as Corpse.
