  1. I agree that a different cereal for each pony would be neat. Pinkie Pie: Sugar. Like, it's just a cereal box filled with sugar. You pour it into the bowl. It's a bowl full of sugar. Maybe add some milk. It's milk and sugar. Drink it. Twilight: Shredded pages of books, Discord style. Part of a balanced breakfast. Rarity: Diamonds. Applejack: Pass. Rainbow Dash: Lucky Charms, but with inverted colors so we don't get sued by [REDACTED]. Fluttershy: An assortment of animal foods; dog food, cat food, carrots, fish, ham, the works. Okay don't worry everyone I'll set up the Kickstarter right away. Believe in a dream, make it happen.
  2. Mmm mmm, red velvet cake. And cheesecake. ....Or wait...is cheesecake a pie? It sure looks like a pie. If it is a pie then it's certainly not my favorite pie.
  3. I'd be an earth pony. I always prefer the actual hard work to the payoff than the payoff itself, and would probably enjoy figuring out how to get around in the world with a lack of magic and wings. You have to use strategy and wits to do simple tasks. It'd add an extra layer of challenge to life. I would likely fit in best at Sugarcube Corner. I'm not much of a baker, but I wouldn't mind learning and having that be my main career. At Sugarcube Corner I could be fairly quiet, just baking/serving while enjoying the company of the other ponies and their conversations/adventures. Those are all just bonuses to the fact that I'd get to live wit' Pinkie and we'd get to bake together. Squee.
  4. It's a website dedicated to making fun of everything. I wouldn't expect them to go easy on bronies. Seriously, anything put on ED is going to be incredibly dramatic (cwutididther) and this fandom does give a lot of potential for content. Being offended by ED is like being mad at a machine that was built to throw knives in every direction for throwing a knife at you. It's what it does, just stay out of its way if you're not immune to knives. I'm not sure what I was doing with that analogy. Or I guess it's a simile because I used like. Dangit.
  5. I like that if you are talking to someone who is also a brony, the two of you instantly have dozens of new conversation topics. Favorite pony? Favorite episode? Thoughts on alicorn Twilight Sparkle? It also gives (most bronies I've met) a bit of humility. You can't really act too stuck up or proud when you're discussing pastel horses. You lower yourself a bit, you allow yourself to be insulted, you accept the fact that most people you meet will likely hate bronies. Talking with fellow bronies lets you sort of step outside the realm of normal conversations. You already know that you're likely to be friends with the other person, so the conversation can flow more steadily, without any need for worrying that they will judge you for (most of your) strange interests. tl;dr two bronies meeting for the first time can easily connect and have lots of opinions on the show to discuss.
  6. During the first half of season 1, Rarity was my least favorite character. She just seemed to be the "Hey everyone, little girls like fashion right? Let's have a prissy fashion pony" pony. Then she developed past just her flaws, with being a savvy business pony and an entrepreneur. The British accent helps too, of course. Once she started having very likable/relatable traits, her flaws were a lot more entertaining because there was real character behind them. It could be easy for someone who isn't interested in her good points (independent business owner, British, etc) to just be annoyed by her fairly constant whiny prissiness. Generous, British, What's not to love about her? This is a haiku. I gain 5 psychic points if you counted out the syllables on your fingers.
  7. Pinkie Pie. Her consistent hugging is already canon, so you knows she be good at it :3 Plus, her mane is cotton candy. You could totally just bite some off all sneakily like mid hug.
  8. Melody Trumpet. I...uh...I don't know how to feel about this. I guess I have to learn how to play the trumpet now. I get that most ponies are named after their future careers, but...Melody Trumpet...that's like being named Meow Cat. Nyan Cat.
  9. Ponies taught me an inverse of the golden rule: don't expect to be treated by others the way you'd treat them. Everyone is going to have a different opinion on you and your personal interests - ranging from ecstatic to enraged. If they react in a way that is sub-par when compared to your expectations, there isn't really much you can say to change their minds. You just have to actually respect and tolerate their opinion. I can't think of many worse ways than by saying "Love and tolerate." and then ignoring them because they don't fit into your ideal world of perfect people. There's a world of difference between what you're saying and what you're doing. So I guess what I've learned is: Some people won't care, stop caring. Don't say you don't care - just don't care. The Care Bears must be so ashamed of me right now... To clarify the "not caring" is for if they definitely do not want to give the show a chance, or already have and didn't care for it. Just move on to another conversation topic, it's not like that person is immediately toxic.
  10. She spent the first several years of her life doing lonesome, repetitive, sad, boring work. She never smiled. That side of her is still buried inside her, and she tries to ignore it and forget about it by surrounding herself with friends and more smiles. Some people would say this is a poor method, or that she's ignoring the problem, but it has pretty much worked. Up until Party of One she was still working under the assumption that she needed to keep her friends entertained, lest they grow tired of her and leave her. After Party of One though it's safe to assume she has successfully taken on the role of "happy". She's sad every now and then, but it's unlikely it will be on the level of Party of One again because she is convinced that her friends will always be there for her, and that she'll always be needed because all of Ponyville relies on her to keep their spirits high. I wouldn't say she is/was schizo or depressed, or has any other mental problems like that. She is/was just afraid of being alone again, and got really scared when it looked like it was happening. I don't think that's all too irrational. Exactly this. It's isn't actually that difficult to find motives behind her every action, considering she's aware that making other ponies laugh is her role in life.
  11. I'm an atheist because I'm a rebellious teen and you can't tell me what to do. ...I mean, because I think people should do what they think is right regardless of an eternal reward/punishment system, and regardless of whether or not some all knowing being is constantly judging them. I don't mind people who are religious though. Best case scenario it can make you be a better person, and if someone is using their religion as an excuse to be racist or intolerant or rude then I'm not going to dislike them because they're religious, I'm going to dislike them because they're being racist or intolerant or rude.
  12. Not really a crush but I have the utmost respect and admiration for Digibrony. If it turns out he's the devil I'd totes sell him my soul in exchange for some peaches or somethin'. I don't even really like peaches that much. They're good and all, but if Digibrony wasn't the devil I wouldn't trade my soul for them.
  13. I was role playing as my OC while taking the test, and he demanded that every box be filled in. I guess you could say he really puts the OC in OCD. I don't actually have an OC, this post was made entirely for that joke.
  14. This is the most brohoof'd post I have ever made. "It was me! I was the turkey all along!" - Gir "I was wondering what that turkey was doing there.." - Zim "You're right, my friend, man is the only animal that wears pants during twosies." - JD ""<insert practically any Pinkie quote>" - Pinkie Pie"- Flipturn ツ "D'ya take and try to give an iron clad leave to yourself from a three railed billiard shot? But just as I say it takes judgement brains and maturity to score in a balkline game I say that any boob can take and shove a ball in a pocket...and I call that sloth. The first big step to the depths of de-gra day. First, medicinal wine from a teaspoon - then beer from a bottle!" - Harold Hill I'm trying to memorize that song so I typed that from memory. Hopefully it's accurate enough :b I realize that those stopped being cartoons, but sometimes life is so whimsical it's like a cartoooon
  15. I think this'd go in the Show Discussion section, or even more accurately the S01:E01+E02 thread Good review, I agree that the first two episodes are ...eh, good enough, but there's plenty of room for improvement. Which is probably a good thing, in a way. It helped walk the first bronies towards the conclusion that it's a good show. It started mediocre, and just went up from there. It's new characters that need to develop, and thankfully they sure did. I think that's also good, in a way. The characters started out somewhat one dimensional, seeming like cookie cutter characters. Then as season 1 progressed, their lovable qualities shined through and all was right with the world. Edit: Typed this reply to your post and was notified of my lack of permission to respond. Had to hunt ya down again
  16. Celestia was originally going to be a Queen, but Hasbro bumped her down to Princess status because Queens are generally viewed as evil in the public eye, and Princesses sell better. I guess the theme has just continued on with every King and Queen being villains, while the good'ns are crowned as Princes and Princesses, regardless of actual positions of power. /is the boring answer. The headcanonical answer I'd give is that it's not that becoming King/Queen begets corruption, but the other way around. In the show, it would appear that villains who find themselves fairly high on the political ladder would rather themselves be called Queen/King. Celestia, wanting to differentiate her land from the evils the world had to offer, decided the highest position would be Princess. Celestia, being all omniscient and such, will someday make the greatest villain. I mean, she's pretty much molded Twilight into who she is today, and Celestia knows EVERYTHING. Sadly this is one of those "doubt it will ever happen, and if it did happen it wouldn't be good enough" things. I mean, it's a bit too late (and became too late after episode 2) for her to just reveal this was a masterful evil plan all along; Celestia is inherently good. She brought together the elements of harmony, and it would take a very craftily written work to explain why/how this was all a part of her evil scheme. I'm not much for writing fan fictions so I can't come up with a very good reason WHY she would be a villain, I just know that as the greatest player for team good, she'd make an even better one for team evil. EDIT: ...We saw how much corruption Sombra could cause with just the tip of his horn on physical landscape...just a thought.
  17. (I've been searching for a FiW appreciation thread, and this is close enough) I love both of these songs. The Gypsy Bard is my favorite of FiW, and probably in my top 5 of FiM/Brony songs in general. I don't know if you've actually seen all of the FiW episodes, or more specifically the episode that has 'The Gypsy Bard', so for the love of gourds and other fruit in general don't read this spoiler if you haven't. Is there actually a FiW appreciation thread floating around somewhere? I need to get in on that.
  18. Spike At Your Service was really the only episode that I could feel myself disliking while watching it. Then, after rewatching it and hearing some other people's opinions, I continued to dislike it some more. I feel like Spike is a good character, and it's just tragic that pretty much all of his episodes present him poorly. When the spotlight's not on him, he's a cool guy and a great counter for Twilight's obsessive tendencies. When the spotlight IS on him, (specifically in this episode), he falls back into his stereotypical toddler style character who can't take a hint and seems to have forgotten his lifetime of being Twilight's assistant and can't so much as blink without accidentally slaughtering a cow. ...I just got deja-vu. Anyway. That's the first reason I pretty much hate this episode, the second being the story itself. Oh, that's where this deja vu is coming from. I've typed pretty much this exact thing before, in another thread. I'm gonna skip the second half then and just link to this. The story's been done before, and they didn't really add anything to it. It hits all the beats on the trope page.
  19. I think this'd be fun, and would work well from a narrative point of view. When introducing new elements to the show/building the world, the twins know as much as we do about certain things, and we'd be able to learn with them. I really enjoyed their episode, and I hope they get some good screen time in season 4. And if I dare to dream, that as the series goes on they don't stay as babies for too many years to come. Might just be me but I like the concept that we get to watch two characters develop starting from birth...and if they become fully realized characters someday then it'll be all the more fun to go back and watch them derp around as babies.
  20. Aw man, I wanted to get in on the revolutionary "under 16 but mature" but I turned 16 a few months ago...*siiiigh* I'm of the group that says if you call yourself a brony, then you're a brony. No need to discriminate against gender or age groups, as defying stereotypes is pretty much the standard with people persistently palavering pastel party ponies. This is why I'm not all for the term pegasister, but it would kind of go against my previous point if I tried telling girl bronies that they aren't allowed to call themselves pegasisters. I spent a good 6 minutes looking for a word for 'talking' that starts with 'p' and I have no regrets.
  21. According to the google chrome new tab page, my favorite sites are: -Youtube -Google -MLPForums -Explosm/Cyanide and Happiness -Equestria Daily -Ninja Kiwi -Giant in the Playground Games/Order of the Stick -Gmail Still, zombocom will always have a special place in my heart.
  22. Order of the Stick Cyanide and Happiness XKCD Mostly Order of the Stick. I've only ever met one Order of the Stick reader. It was the greatest day of my life.
  23. I've always wanted one of those giant plushies made by the fandom...but those tend to get ridiculously pricey in the auctions so I kind of doubt that'll ever happen. I've been looking for a good brony flavored jacket, because I usually wear the same jacket just-about-every-day and I'd like to switch from my Minecraft jacket. I've been trying to find something that a fellow brony would instantly recognize, but would still look reasonable to a non-brony/anti-brony. Kinda like this shirt, which I already own: (If anyone knows of a jacket/hoodie that I might like I'd appreciate it ) I didn't even think about headphones! Pony flavored headphones would be awesome!
  24. Twilight Sparkle. Magic is one of the most interesting things in Equestria, and I would want to know so much more about it. So who better to study with? She's adorkable and probably smells like grapes. But then I'd hang out with Pinkie pretty much constantly...so I think I'd sneak over and read at Twilight's if/when Pinkie falls asleep.
  25. I think that KCAFO should stay as a one parter, because it's not rushed enough that two parts wouldn't be slow. Maybe it should've been a 30 minute no commercials special or something. As for MMC, I'm in the small group that enjoyed the fast paced musical setup of song-problem-song-solution-song-etc, but I agree that it could have been a much better episode with two parts. To be honest I liked how MMC went down; it had a plot that would've led us to have very many questions, well-paced or not, and instead of getting in depth explanations on every detail it was a musical, being propelled by it's emotions and music too fast to fill us in on all the details. I think it's pretty funny. Remembering that Lauren had it planned from the start that Twilight would take Celestia's place, imagine how this episode would feel to someone who has been anticipating Twilight's coronation since day 1. Building it up in their head as an extreme adventure, as an episode to rise above all else, and then it's a light hearted fast paced musical. All the details we want to know are coming and going too quickly to really grasp the whole situation - and then Twilight is an alicorn. Before anyone points it out I realize how flawed my logic might sound, and that I'm essentially saying that I enjoyed the poor pacing, but ...but nothing, I enjoyed the poor pacing
