  1. Me personally? Because I love the show. I criticize because I love it, I'm not some kind of girl who just sits around all day complaining about stuff. I'm also not the girl who will just say, "Hey, sweetie, you did a great job!", I won't mindlessly praise something. Because MLP is so exceptional, I've set my bar higher for S4, and this is the only episode so far that has disappointed me. I do agree that we, as a fandom, have a major tendency to nitpick over pointless, trivial stuff. But I'm also not going to sit by and just shrug when something stupid comes out--the writers and producers and animators of MLP have shown that they can and will produce quality work with excellent scripts; I want more of that. Also, something that I can't stress enough: Love and Tolerate =/= Blind Acceptance. We do this all the time with our artists, too. We tell them that, "Hey, that looks awesome! Way better than I could ever do!" when everyone knows it's not true. I like to draw ponies--if I have something wrong with the anatomy, I want someone to say something. I'm also a writer; if someone reads my stories, I want them to say that they're read it, and enjoyed it, but here's something to make it even better. I thrive off input and criticism from my fans, because otherwise I'd never grow.
  2. Because Eris is adorable and her sticking her tongue out is even more so. ^^ She's such a brat.
  3. That's very true--being star-struck I have no problem with. But if my hero was getting attacked by three giant guys, I'd do something to try and help them. I mean, my gosh! I idolize them, don't I? And Pinkie does have her annoying moments, but frankly, I can't stand Rainbow Dash's constant egoism and general "I am the most awesome being on the planet" attitude. I can stomach it if it's played up for laughs, like in Johnny Bravo, but I know way too many people like that in real life, and seeing it in my entertainment just annoys me. But that's neither here nor there--I found her irritating in this episode. Come to think of it, I found most of this episode irritating, starting with the fact that Daring Do is a real pony.
  4. Yes, and RD usually annoys me. But in this episode I found her particularly irritating; the fact that she didn't help Daring Do at all, and in even struggled to help her in the end (I remember watching them lift the rings and RD trying to flap her wings, and shouting at my laptop: "You can do a Sonic Rainboom! This can't be that hard!"). Plus, she kept saying how much she wanted to impress her, and yet didn't impress her in the slightest. I also felt that the whole relationship between them felt very rushed.
  5. My guess is that it's a habit from a thousand years ago. Everyone used to use it before she was banished, and now that she's come back, she's discovered that modern vernacular has changed and she hasn't adapted yet. That's my guess, anyway.
  6. You have a roleplay about the Incredibles? :3
  7. I absolutely adored The Incredibles. Syndrome was one of my favorite villains of all time~ I would desperately love a sequel, although I don't think Brad Bird would ever come back to the project. I actually own the 2-Disc Blu-Ray Collector's Edition of that movie. <3
  8. Being the Goddess of Chaos, I of course adore a good mixed-up episode, but this was taking it a bit too far, even for me. I know the Mane Six, and as annoying and pesky as they are, they're too much of goody-two-horseshoes to sit calmly outside a window while someone they know is getting beat up. Plus, Rainbow Dash, not liking herself? What alternate universe is this, and does it have guacamole?! (Note to self: make guacamole later.) All joking aside, this episode didn't improve upon Read It and Weep, which is what a good follow-up episode is supposed to do. By making Daring Do a real person, they take away some of the specialness we feel with Rainbow Dash, experiencing reading a great book for the first time. They made it very clear in Read It and Weep that Daring Do was essentially Rainbow Dash living through the character. I'm sure if it had been Twilight reading the Daring Do series for the first time, then Daring Do would have looked very different. Overall, a 2/5 for me. Not horrendous, but not great either.

  10. It's making me giggle for some reason...? 8/10, for the laugh. ^^
  11. I would actually love to play that. It would be glorious.
  12. I believe that the Mane Six all have traits that I strive to emulate. I would love to be kind, loyal, honest, generous, and full of laughter. But even though I try to be that, I'm not, but they do hold a great standard for me. Something I've noticed is that I now have a habit of adopting a 'Rarity voice' when I'm lecturing people, like a faux-British accent and I call people "darling" or "dear"; it's very odd. O_e
  13. Does anyone have a link to this episode? I've been googling and I can't seem to find it anywhere. X_X At least, not in complete form.
  14. "I'm a christian, I'm a feminist and best of all. I'm gay." I think I love you right now.

  15. Whoah, wait, wow. Please be careful. And don't hurt your mother over a cosplay.
  16. I'm actually...starting to like rap. X_X Because of Eminem. I've been listening to him all day. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?

      I'm listening to this one right now and kind of in awe that I like it so much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0SX2XmpPd0

      Slim Shady LP was perhaps his rawest record with consecutive releases being consequently more commercial in enterprise.

      I love some of his diss tracks: Quitter, Nail in the Coffin, Bumping Heads.

  17. Creepy! Dx I think I rated this before, but I'll give it a 6/10 because I can't remember what I rated it before. ~
  18. I hate to come in here and sound like the total mom, but you are seventeen. Technically not a legal adult, unless you get yourself emancipated. And all the things that you "own" aren't even really yours--most parents buy their kids a laptop, a TV, a bed, food, clothes, etc. While I'm not going to go out and say "Don't be ridiculous! Your parents love you!" because frankly I don't know your situation, I do think that you need to respect your parent's wishes. I don't believe it's a waste of money, I've been saving up for a cosplay for a while now, because it looks extremely awesome and I want it. But I'm also in college and while not technically living on my own, I take care of my parents and they consider me an adult. (Mostly--they still freak out if I talk about a guy. X_X) And besides, what would I even do with a cosplay? I would wear it once, maybe twice, to a convention or to geek out my friends at college. But then what? It would hang in my closet along with all the other dresses I don't like to wear. Here's the thing: parents will treat you like an adult when you start acting like one. When I stopped throwing temper tantrums when I didn't get something I wanted, and instead put aside my anger so we could have a conversation, then things got better. And you know what? The things I begged my parents for when I was seventeen seem pretty stupid now. I do get the feeling that you've already made up your mind, and anything I say or anyone else says won't change it. You're probably just coming to us for justification, am I right?
  19. I...honestly don't feel popular, and I'm a girl. I have a wonderful select group of friends whom I see all the time, but I'm not "popular". But I do think it has to do with the fact that there aren't a whole lot of girls here. Er, no? For months people assumed I was a guy, which made me change my name to Miss Earl Grey. I even had a bright pink signature/avatar for a while to give people a hint. But it didn't work, I suppose I type in a masculine manner or something. /shrug
