yeah...*purse whack* "i didnt even want to cross the street!"
oh,and yes,scoots should be hanged....with barbed wire.
I like Apple Blossom, but scoot just bugs me... its probably because Rainbow Dash is her hero, and Rainbow Dash annoys me. She's written several letters to Celestia, and she doesn't seem to have learned her lesson. Perhaps we shall see...
Also the level I'm able to discuss this show is scaring me... I'm getting dangerously close to Brony status.
She's my favorite too, which is odd because she's been given the least amount of character in the show other than rabid Dash fan. I wonder if/when they'll reveal her family/home situation...

your already a brony. a brony is just someone who likes the show.
now a BRONY is someone who takes it a step further,and becomes a super/obsessed fan.

In response to your link, you should not kill me right now because I like Apple Blossom and Sweetie Belle, but as a trio just need to concentrate on one thing, or at least learn some patience. This is probably why I can't stand working with little kids, and much prefer high schoolers.
Oh, and I've got I think maybe five pony wallpapers (out of several dozen total) in my random rotation right now. Then I've got THIS as the lock screen on my iPhone, and I'm tempted to get the matching shirt.
Once I get a phone that isn't completely broken, I'm entirely sure that it'll be ponyfied, too.
God, I still can't believe how fast I changed. Just reading my first posts in this thread continues to surprise and delight me. And horrify me. To the bone. To the core.

Funny story. I was at the comic shop this past week for game night. One of my friends was giving someone else crap for wearing a cookie monster shirt. "What kind of grown man wears a shirt with a character for a kid's TV show on it" and the like and asked me if I agreed. I pull out the phone and flash the Rainbow Dash lock screen at him. He stares at it for a moment. "You've got to be kidding me!" Pulls another guy over asking if he'd seen what I have on my phone. I show the other guy and he doesn't bat an eye. "Yeah, he plays Cryx, that's pretty common." I got a kick out of it.

@nervant: dunno how to take screenshots. and just call me klimino
I watch the series on YouTube, since I don't get the Hub here, and I just hit Prt Sc if I see something I want to save and use later, then paste it into MS Paint for later editing.
As for names, well, that won't happen. I always write the entire thing out.
Watch YouTube, and when you find a good scene with a shot you want, his PrtScn to grab a screen capture of it. Paste into Paint, and edit the picture to what you want.

Prt Sc, or Print Screen, is a button that should be above your navigation (arrow, home, end, page) keys. It copies an image of what was being output to your screen at the time.
"This is Ponyville Tech Support; helping anypony, anytime. What seems to be the problem?"
I'm on a bad connection too, so I feel your pain, but the gif loaded far faster than the image I had originally posted...
Also the print screen button is generally on the upper right side of the keyboard, far above the arrow keys. If you're on a laptop, it might be one of the function buttons.

Hey i need a bit of advice from all you MLP fans, a budy of mine is trying to get me to watch the show with him yet i have little to no desire to, could you guys n' gals recommend an episode encase i ever do watch it.
And judt for even more lauphs is it better to watch MLP drunk, stoned, or sober as a stone?
Alfndrate wrote:I generally suggest starting at the beginning, but most people here will suggest Episode 14.
As to my sobriety... I'm always sober when I watch it... little hard for me to be drunk by 10 when I wake up at 9...
Hmmm episode 14 you say would be the general consensus? Thanks for the info if it turns out i do like it il start watching from the begining and pray the gf does not think im psycho
I had to look up which one 14 was... I dunno. Good episode yes, but I would say start at episode one. The first two episodes (a two parter) may not be as good as the rest of the series, but they introduce the main characters and without that insight into who they are the jokes in later episodes might not make as much sense.

Which is my reasoning behind suggesting the first two, also if you start at the beginning, you can watch the whole season in order
Also, what are all the Bronies and Pegasisters favorite Ponies?
As has been stated, I'm a deep set Rarity fan. She just needs more time under the spotlight, I feel. She's hardly in any episode she's not the star of.
If you like the minimalist wallpapers, check out Ginger Mint's Collection. Bunch of what I assume are OCs, but also a several of the background and one off ponies. No Mane Six, which I'm guessing is because Megasweet did those and these are trying to imitate them and thus didn't feel the need or something.
I don't think MS did the Trixie one either, but I'm not sure. I just saw it and liked it. X3 Also, I don't like the Rarity one, so is why I'm not using it.
As far as I know Megasweet only did the Mane Six, and the rest like it I attribute to people imitating them as they were Really popular. Hard to tell though because Megasweet doesn't keep all of his art in one place that I know of.

Yeah, I think you're right. They do look cool!
MegaSweet's art always makes me sad, though. Because it's MegaSweet.

MegaSweet isn't just Pony Rule 34. MegaSweet is like the horror of Cupcakes, multiplied by seven million, mixed together with every rapefic, and then spat out into a terrifying mass of pure evil that burns eyes and souls alike. Even Pony Rule 34 made by the most horrifying of Dark Eldar couldn't compare to MegaSweet.
I've seen plenty. I know the horrors that lie in the hearts of men, the darkness of their souls. I know the Night. I know Death. I know the Silence and the Noise. The Nothing that fills the gaps between stars. The Chasm, the Gorge, the All-Devourer. I've looked into the heart of the Maw, into the core of the Void Sphere. I've seen the Death of Creation and known the Ultimate End.
I'm pretty sure that some AO-rated ponies won't shatter my consciousness.
Spoiler:
However, being made aware that my only skill in this life is making nonsensical rants might do the trick.
JohnJoseco is the same! It's horrible. T_T His art is win, so win, but he also does that scary Molestia tumblr. You know the ponyporn tumblrs? Yeahhhh x_x.

Oh man. That one is good!
It's less porn (well, no straight views) and more ironic humor.
Ask Molestia is one that I follow. Not really about porn at all and no real shots of anything, just sex humor and implied acts. There is more nudity on his regular Tumblr blog.
Aaaaand I just realised some of the coolest Dakkaties (IMHO) are bronies
I don't know if it's a good thing that no one has said anything to me about my Twilight though... My parents in particular. I thought they would have said something to me about it by now.
Nerivant wrote:It's not a cannon for parties. It's a cannon that shoots parties.
Which is awesome.
I know, which is why I want one... Any pony can shoot a cannon at a party, but only Pinkie can fire a cannon that creates the party. Also, I actually enjoyed this Rarity heavy episode Good elements of the characters, though Uppercrust is still a feedbag if you ask me. Also, Fancypants is cool

Well, in a way, she's supposed to lie. The bigger her image, the more people come to see her show. Her livelihood is based around her ability to maintain a name for herself.
The events in Ponyville not only destroyed her home (she lived in that cart), but they destroyed her ability to ever work again.
As an aside, it was okay to watch, but still got tiresome near the end of the first season. It's no DC Animated Universe, but it's still one of the better series I've watched.
I doubt that the impending media attention will kill the show,
and I'm not too excited about Pinkie Pie singing. She's a great singer (voice actress that is), but she almost sings... too much, ya know?
Also, I think I'm liking Rarity more and more. While originally I thought she was a donkey-cave, she seemed to at least learn her lesson, and it is pretty cool to be a successful pony that's moving on up... the the east side... in a deluxe stable in the sky...

The musical numbers are one of my favorite things about the show.
I liked fluttershy's song in the episode with Tank , but then again she's probably my favorite character because she can be a bamf when she needs to. Also that deep voice was hilarious
I'm really curious about this upcoming episode, but I also don't want to overthink it.
I mean, how are they going to shrink Spike afterwards? Celestia-hoof-wave it? Or will Twilight become even more powerful and magic him back to normal? Either way, should be interesting. Spike always has some really fantastic lines.
See, that's what happens. I'll sit here and ponder until the cows come home. Back to drawing ponies, where I can maintain a sliver of my sanity.
Nerivant wrote:That was a refreshing take on dragon hoarding that actually made a fair bit of sense.
All in all, great episode.
I loved how Fluttershy was able to keep up with RD and how stupidly powerful Twilight Sparkle is getting.
I wonder if this means Spike will never age so long as he never really collects any possessions, or if that's a separate process. He never did grow wings when he got big in this episode.
It's a pretty commonly spoofed scene if nothing else, the kind of thing where you know it's a spoof and maybe even know what of despite not having seen the original. IE, I know when people make references to Silence of the Lambs though I've never actually seen the movie because you see spoofs of it all the time. Also I'm going to bet more kids get the King Kong reference than the Big Lebowski reference.

Well, it's been mentioned and shown that Spike has grown since he hatched, so it's possible that a dragon's natural growth is a lot slower.
Also, that episode was way, way better the second time around. With friends. And a stash.
QuietOrkmi wrote:Quick everyone extrapolate a plot from this one line!
lol, what corpses said.
I know that they try their hardest to make sure that pony is said, but I definitely noticed that because the whole everybody/everypony thing really bugged me at first.
Perhaps only the really old dragons grow wings with their greed... Kind of like how you have to ask to super size your big mac... A large just doesn't cut it...
Or maybe there are different types of dragons in Equestria.
There is that, though I thought they said that Dragons grew because of their hoards... I may have to rewatch it... does anyone have the exact line that Twilight says?
That too would make sense... Though it doesn't make sense for something to not be born with a physical feature (barring certain frog-like creatures, etc..)... Eventually Spike would have to grow wings, and THEN learn how to use them... I mean it's not like other flying animals begin life without at least forms of the limb that eventually work...

But other flying animals (ie - in the real world) don't get their wings later. They also don't grow because of greed, and grow so much so quickly without any resources ingested. In other words; Spike's growth breaks the laws of physics. I think we can safely say the other parts of his anatomy/physiology do as well.
Also, I like the "maturity and growth are separate things with dragons" idea. True, even while Spike was a huge, muscular dragon - not only did he have no wings (I was expecting him to grow some, actually, would have been pretty epic), but did anyone else think he looked a bit... chubby? Like baby-chub. lololol
Also, I loved the doctor. "I think I know what the problem is... he's a dragon!"
And did anyone else squee at Spike making a hissing noise while flicking his forked tongue and his transparent eyelids? Or maybe I just love reptiles too much. Yay snakes!
EDIT: Also, totally loved the Rarity episode. Jus' sayin'.
EDIT2: Okay, edit spam, but - Just started on Episode 11. Is it just me, or is Canterlot getting a lot of screentime all of a sudden? What, Ponyville too country now?
It's probably because Twilight and friends are gaining some fame. I mean with all that they do, and being best bros with Celestia probably helps them get those fancy train tickets to Canterlot

Not really. Just saying that I find this to be the most tedious, uninteresting interweb meme that's hit for a good while. I dunno why, might be because it seems overly contrived. Of course if people get some satisfaction from it then who am I to complain, but it's all over deviantart aswell. It's a bit like everyone in your favourite bars constantly talking about cement or something. I've got nothing against cement but I'd be irritated to find that cement was a popular topic of conversation in all my hangouts.

Like football.
Alfndrate see above.
Well, if the cement-related conversations in all of your bars are held in sound-proofed rooms that clearly say "Cement Conversation Rooms," and you don't like conversations about cement, why would you go into one of the rooms?
To tell the people in the cement conversation rooms that I consider their cement conversations a bit superficial and needy. To encourage them to give up their cement conversations. Check out the clunge. Maybe score some coke.

I kind of liked the play episode... But you'd think it would be the perfect venue for a musical episode. Perhaps spontaneous singing is more enjoyed in Equestria than Musical Theatre...

Isn't that half the point with threads like this though? Aside from being quirky. Earnest h8rz point out the incredible pointlessness of it, earnest advocates defend the quirky, amusing behaviour. Some people get angry, fun is had. Surely there must have been some of this already. The thread has reached 90 pages, even legitimate topics don't go that far without some shenanigans.

How it is it a meme? You're it is a television show that has a following. You don't see people walking around in thick sunglasses, blue shirts, dancing against a wall saying "never gonna give, never gonna give!"
If there was one aspect of the show that was duplicated over and over and over, then that would be a meme.
Both actually, I see where your argument is coming from, but your wording is incorrect. In this technological day, information spreads faster, so this "rage" of men who like the show is only so widespread because instead of having like "My Little Pony Adult Fan Club Local 246" we have threads like this and websites like Equestria Daily.
Bronies will only last as long as the show. There is no staying power with the fad. So it doesn't stand the test of time, thus there is no meme to be had.
It's not going to be like a drama teacher I had 6 years ago where he still believes Muppets are really for adults, and still watches old episodes. Nothing made within the past 20 years is really meant to last beyond its immediate life time.
Richard Dawkins and My little pony. You some sort of polymath? Dubious...
I suggest you read this. And report back. I'm thinking of getting something like it as an ironic coffee-table book, I'd appreciate your opinion. Bonfire of the Vanities and Jane Eyre are also good.

Actually I'm English education. I only read Dawkins because I used his book in a discussion and the evolution of language in today's society lol. I had to set up the idea of a meme before I could delve into an internet meme... I believe it was the only paper I've been able to use lolcats, internet memes, and feth in an academic paper.
Now I'm just curious as to where/how the princesses showed up from/there. Obviously the story is a bit corroded by age, being very old.
But one thing. After solving the blizzard problem... why did they set up a new country (Equestria) instead of going back home? You know, with all the buildings, and the whole civilisation, and all that jazz. Although it does appear that the unicorn place became Canterlot, the pegasi place became Cloudsdale, and the 'new land' became Ponyville. Perhaps just reusing of designs, but... it's a bit odd.

But no! That would make all the Rainbow Dash x Pinkie Pie x Rarity x Applejack x Twilight Sparkle x Fluttershy fanfics - gasp - CANON.
Surely this cannot be true.
EDIT: Wait. "Well girls, seems like we're the onlyponies left in the whoooole world. Repopulation time!" I am willing to bet that something similar has been used as a concept in a fanfic.
It's a Christmas tree of ponies! O.O *Saved too* Lyra and Bon-Bon are being too adorable, there. Also, Trixie seems to have no body. Spitfire's got a slight case of the Derp Eyes. lolololol
A couple days ago I came out to my parents...which is to say I told them I'm a brony. My mom sounded a little surprised. When I told her about Pinky Pie's party cannon, she asked if it had a dial to set which type of party it shot out.
I have set out, mandated by a higher power, on a holy mission to combine The Old Republic and ponies. If that does not rekindle the flame, then I am lost to your kind.
Hehee.... I just spent about an hour watching MLP: FIM prank calls to True Capitalist Radio. The host of that show really hates bronies. Needless to say, bronies line up to cram MLP into the show's face.
maybe should have posted this here in the first place but oh well :3
at the moment I'm attempting to make a spacewolf TWC army using MLP models (and converting them to have power armour, bolters, and so on). so far I've found the ones I can use for marines (Mini Pony Singles) but I cant get hold of or even find any of the G4 pony "blind bags" here in the UK. Does anyone have any idea where I could get hold of them :?

That's an amazing idea. Apparently, you can get them at Tesco - but I've never seen them.
Off-topic but not worth making a whole thread about; what are the little cylindrical nibs on the side of medium-sized model bases for? Along with the holes in the bottom. O.o
the holes there to slot a model in and the little nibs part of a sprue...I think ^_^
I tried tesco and they had pinky.....but when I came back they sold her just waiting for them to restock XD also found some G4 ponies on ebay at long last ^.^ should have this army started soon
DPBellathrom wrote:the holes there to slot a model in and the little nibs part of a sprue...I think ^_^
For drilling through, you mean? I've been using glue, is something wrong with me? >.> Also, yeah - they have the sprue attachment plastic (the part that's shaped for clippers to clip off), but then a further cylinder of plastic attached to that. What's the point?

In a blind bag? Oh! They also do those sets of the main cast, although they're kinda bad and everypony's a clonepony. Also, the biggest set only comes with five - everyone except Applejack. It's a bit weird.
there's nothing wrong with you, its just easyer to slot them in XD I keep the sprue bits as they come in usefull every now and then :3
nah it was in a blister :3 I like the mini ones though they dont do fluttershy which makes me sad :( It kind of annoyed me that all the ponys are clones too but hey, they'll all be in power armour when I'm done so its not too much of a problem ^_^

Huh, well, it's done. The TOR thing, I mean. Once I latched onto the idea, I couldn't let it go. Got me to thinking about why I got sucked into this fandom in the first place.
Still can't answer that question.
Then again, I'm not entirely sure I'm part of the fandom. I don't call myself a "brony." I don't go to meet-ups. I'm on the peripherals. I haven't dived in. I manage to drag myself out before I go too deep.
So im assuming the haters are gone . Well I only watched the first episode but it was pretty good so i was considering watching the rest from the begginning. How long is the series?

Most of the haters are gone, but one will dip back into this thread to stir the coals a bit.
The first season is 26 episodes long, and the second has eleven finished and is ongoing.
*huff huff* few... made it! 89 pages of thread is a pain to go through when every post could be:

Aaany way... Hi everypony! I actually made a Dakka profile just to post in this thread! Been lurking every once and awile on here, but dang it ponies you've done it again!
I'm surprised that no-ones asked this but how did you guys become bronies? Or in Nerivant's case, come to like the show, draw fanart, write fanfics, and draw others to the herd but totally not be a brony?
Was actually this thread that got me to watch the show. Then it hit the Cryx faction over on the PP forums (nightMARE empire) and was fair big there for a bit but the mods fought it off and banished it to Off Topic, where it still gets interest but much less so. At some point I found EQD, some good artists on DA, and finally, the various Tumblr blogs.
I got into the show because there was a thread and it was about a luna Ig regiment or something or actually SM and was getting alot haters so i was like who cares and watched a show and was like cool. and thats my story lol.
I remember seeing the first wave of MLP mash-ups that went out, but despite enjoying them and the visual style of the show, it never occurred to me that it was a thing that could be watched.
Then a few months (wow, it's been a while) ago, a friend of mine mentioned the whole brony thing and how big it was getting, which reminded me about the show. I watched the first two episodes, realized I had no idea where fans of this show congregated, and found this thread in the OT, and through it, the other popular sites.

Quick edit to Nerivant's post: Unless I've missed it's original release, but I saw Episode 12 this past Sunday. A very Granny Smith heavy episode, and relates to the founding of Ponyville. None of the mane 6 are really in it except for Applejack, and there is Applebloom and the other CMC (but the other two play a minor role)... All about respecting your elders.
Edit: Yes, there are now twelve episodes out for the second season. The most recent episode is titled "Family Appreciation Day"
Hah, I completely forgot about the episode I'd watched half an hour previous.
Yeah, Family Appreciation Day was the latest, had a fantastic nod to Weekend at Bernie's, and was all-around awesome. Granny Smith's story at the end was above the call of duty for a children's show.

"She never wakes up from her nap!"
My buddy and I laughed at that bit... we also spent the better part of 90 minutes trying to watch this episode as we were being interrupted by people coming back into our college housing.
Nothng would inspire fear in a imperirial soldier then rainbow chaos warriors.
Also i have this to explain the background
Spoiler:
Equestria is a large Northwestern Province of the empire. It is primarily Argircultural. Because of this they have a large amount of horses to tend to the fields. They have come to revere Horses because of their help. The Patron Gods of the Horses are Celestia And Luna. Who control both the sun and moon respectively. They are an almagation of unicorns, Pegasi and earth horses. There wrath is implacable against those who hurt there beloved children. The provinces iconography includes many horses busts and picture and they boast the largest mounted force in the empire. While they are formidable fighters they prefer a diplomatic approach(for this is what the Goddesses teach) But if you cross them, May Sigmar have mercy on you.
The Lector Count of equestria(Count Von Sparkle) gets the honor of riding a mount the bears the likeness of Celstia. In battle he wields the celestial hammer(said to be a gift from Celestia and Luna to him themselves) and enchanted armor which can prevent even a chaos axe from piercing it.

Yea, I know. It's more entertaining than anything really...
anyway, I'm curious what everyone's favorite pony song is. Gotta Giggle at them ghosties! I'm talking in show, but if you want to tell your favorite fan-made that's cool too!

only made it up to ep 9 :3 but I would have to say that, so far, the song about the zebra that pinkie sings is pretty good XD as far as fan made goes, its a close one between the last link I posted or this
also, could someone explain what all this "My Little Amnesia " crap is :?

Evil enchantress is a good one, but looses out on my favorite because flutterguy's rendition doesn't count because that would be cheating because of how awesome it is! (edit: because because because because!)
and do you mean this? WARNING! kinda graphic. If you don't like that in your ponies don't click the link! I think it's well done myself... Don't know if i'd call it "all this" cuz it's only one vid and the only one I know of... might be talking about Cupcakes ( a bad gorefic with no real stroyline that I DO NOT recommend)or maybe Silent Ponyville ( which is actualy really good if you dont mind some grimdark with your ponies, abit bloody and scary but has a good story line)

yeah, thats what I meant (also saw cupcakes.....it was just wrong though quite fitting for pinkie pie) :3 I saw a few other vids with the same name so I kind of assumed it was a genre :/ dont get me wrong, I like silent hill,grim dark etc but ponies and horror.....no a good combo (edit: says the one about to do a thunderpony 40K army -_-)
just finished watching up to ep13 and I have to say "winter wrap up" was pretty good, normaly any singing in cartoons puts me off but, as always, MLP seems to have done it pretty well

Huh... you say it fits pinkie even before you've seen Ep 25 "party of one", in which Pinkie had one hell of a breakdown. once you get there it'll seem even more fitting, though believe it or not cupcakes was written before the episode came out
I'm of the same mind about singing in cartoons and I like all of the songs except for 2 in the 2nd season, "Find a Pet" and "A Pony Everypony Should Know". dont know why but those just kinda bother me...

nah, I've seen the clip of her snapping a few times, its pretty good ^_^
find a pet was much better like this (turn your volume down before watching):
Ello good folkes of poneyville....not trying to troll you (even if I was I can't think of anything whitty/sarcastic to say) but i've just read the last 10 pages of this thread. I dunno why I am posting or why I read it but....I really like that GS'ing on the pegasus.
Yeah I 'had' to watch MLP when I was like 6 or 7 ( im 34 now) because the lady who used to babysit me when I was a kid her daughter LOVED this stuff. She had all the poneys, the freaking castle and anything else you can imagine. Being a average little boy at the time I delighted in my GI Joes/Transformers/He-Men, distroying poneyland whenever they could.
I guess I am as nuts as all of you. That is all, back to your regurally scheduled programming on Dakka OT =o]

Thank you.
And generally most bronies abhor the previous generation. They tend to become the ugly step-child of the fandom. Only a few watch them out of curiosity.
from what I've seen of the old gen (toys, pics etc) it looks pretty bad :3 the toys look creepy :/
speaking of toys, does it annoy anyone else that they look nothing like the TV characters. I was thinking of getting rainbow dash (because its rainbow dash and thus 20% cooler than all the others /)^3^(\ ) but they all look wrong :(
