Uncanny to say the least! Heck, even the two sides are similar -- Spike and Beast Boy are both originally shown to be comedians, providing comic relief when possibly but as both of their respective shows progressed, they were then shown to be real characters with real feelings. Likewise for Raven/Rarity, both of them are initially perceived to be selfish and slightly vain but they warm up to everyone in due time.

I'm into Rarilight all of a sudden.

Poll: How many episodes you've disliked in the show so far?
Akemi Homura replied to MK15's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
You know, during that episode's airdate, I didn't even bother watching that episode after five minutes into it. I had a feeling it would be bad, definitely not what I'm normally used to seeing, and from the get-go it felt really disjointed. Lo and behold, you of all people highlight how bad it is so I know I did a good thing by avoiding it. -
How many Zoops does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, because Zoops are too lazy to do any work!

Happy birthday, HT!~

I'll mess you up bro. You don't want any of this.

1. What does it mean to you to be 'a man?' What do you believe it means to society to be 'a man?' To be confident in the face of adversity (toughness), standing up for yourself when you're under pressure, being loyal to yourself and having strong morals to support your psyche. This works both ways for myself and what I think society views in being a man. 2. Who was/is your primary male role model? What is he like? How is he involved in your life? (as in, do you talk frequently/about personal things; where/how often do you interact; what do you do together? etc) Tom Brady of the New England Patriots! He's a classic case of how hard work and determination mixed with talent can put you over the top. 3. How do you typically respond to sexist comments/jokes/behavior? What do you think of the idea of traditional gender roles (i.e., men are this, do this, like these things; women are that, do that, like those things)? Jokes, I laugh with them. Satire is one of my favourite past times. But generally I am defensive of such comments that try to stereotype either gender because there are folks out there that behave much differently than people label them to be. It's silly, stupid, and not to mention very uninformed. No, we don't do this, and we certainly don't do that! We do, however, do this which I realize may be very different than what you normally thought of it, but it's true. Try to accept it. 4. Have you learned anything from MLP? If so, what? Nothing that I hadn't already. Being a good sport, respecting others, getting along others, and learning to love genuinely -- all of them from either Star Trek or watching games and games of basketball or football. My Little Pony simply reinforces those beliefs and respects. 5. Are you an out brony or a closet brony? I am not, but I will only admit I am one in public if someone asks. Last semester in English class I made a powerpoint presentation about Friendship is Magic and bronies and I was very well-received, with a lot of positive laughs to boot. The term "closet brony" is a silly one because it implies being a brony is something to be ashamed of -- it's not, unless you lead an unhealthy lifestyle because of FIM, it's not much different than being a fan of something else. There is no real need to hide it, or to flaunt it around. Is liking a TV show filled with colourful equines so bad? 6. Who is your favorite pony and why? I love Fluttershy because of how soft-spoken she is. I also think she's much prettier than people give her credit for -- that's a rare combination you'll ever find in the real world, and is worth cherishing, much like the rest of the Mane Six. I'm also keen on Twilight Sparkle. -
It's simply traditional to have the letters make appearances in the closing minutes of an episode, nothing more. I would earnestly expect that the events occurring in the episodes themselves would make viewers understand things for themselves rather than a latter highlighting what's right or wrong from a piece of paper. Other than to add clarification, it really doesn't serve a purpose other than to chew up time, I always thought. However, it can also be argued that the letters were a signature component to the series, and the lack of it feels like a blow. Though, I perceive it more to be a shedding from the little-girl image the show has felt like (a bit) from season ones and two -- as it revolutionizes, the need for putting letters out there is lessened with each episode. By my count, it does not affect the quality of the series in any way. The change is just enough to invoke emotional responses because most people are not used to seeing episodes without friendship letters. -
Remember when Swoop was a super moderator? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I assume they'd be big reaches at best considering they might not even have connections with current VA's from the show, or just have no real interest in signing up for the prospect of providing voices for FIM. Or maybe some characterizations would appear to be unoriginal and a rip off -- like David Tennant and Doctor Whooves as his VA. It's true that Q and Discord are similar (they even have the same VA), but both of them have distinguished traits that creates separation. One is an inspiration, and the other just seems like a rip-off (no offense to the idea, of course). it also appears a bit too obvious to have Tennant voicing Time Turner (Doctor Whooves), because the prospect of it has been tossed around for a long time. Hence the unoriginality. -
Happy birthday!~ I hope you come back soon v.v

DHX should consider signing Michelle Ruff sometime. She could elevate this show to new heights.

I've got three underrated, yet potentially game-breaking voice actors on board that could alter the landscape of FIM for the better. 1. Patrick Stewart as Star Swirl the Bearded: Because Star Trek actors deserve some more limelight. I realize Stewart may be a bit more famous than John de Lancie (who played Q, let's not forget!) but during a flashback episode featuring the tales of Equestria's past, Stewart being thrust into the role of Star Swirl seems like a match made in heaven. To top it all off, you'd have a bit of a reunion going on with Stewart and de Lancie: Discord and Star Swirl would be something along the lines of Q and Picard interacting with each other! Just think how positive the reception would be for that! Onto the more technical aspects of Star Swirl's character though: I find it plausible to believe that his character can be inspired from Jean-Luc Picard himself. A wise, majestic man in command seems to fit the bill for Star Swirl's characterization even though he hasn't been mentioned a whole lot, aside from being the subject of someone's banter. What better person to give the role to than Stewart? 2. Michelle Ruff: Ruff is one of the most popular/famous VA's out there, and DHX covets VA's who've been known to do voices for English-dubbed animes. For a season finale (or any two-part episode, if the time comes), they would get a lot of value from Michelle Ruff. Given her status as a premier VA, her signing would not only spark a lot of interest in the community but she gets right into her character no matter the series. This is a win-win for everyone. In the end you'd have a potentially iconic figure among MLP (villain or otherwise), but also give Ruff a huge boost in her own fanbase. She's given voices in Bleach (lead role), Naruto, Code Geass, a few Digimon adaptations, Zatch Bell!, and the ever-famous Gurren Lagann (lead role). Video games? Try Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and Street Fight IV on for size. She's quite the hit among studios, and she will not disappoint. In fact, some current voice actresses in FIM (most notably Cathy Weseluck and Tabitha St. Germain) had been signed for the same series to provide voice acting for, so you know this can be established. 3. Khary Payton: The voice actor of Cyborg from Teen Titans. Not as popular as the first two that I've talked about, but he's worked with Tara Strong in two series (Ben 10 and Teen Titans) and seems like a good fit for a new supporting character in the near future. What always stood out about Cyborg, however, was his comic-relief role (along with Beast Boy) and his accent -- it may not be a terrible idea to implement something like this to give Pinkie Pie some help in the comedy department.

gaming Three places you wish to visit
Akemi Homura replied to Titan Rising's topic in Media Discussion
1. Hoenn Region (Pokemon). There's only one place in the entire realm of fictional worlds that I'd ever really love to go to (besides Equestria), and that would be Hoenn. I've never witnessed a setting before that's so closely bound together by its inhabitants (both humans and Pokemon alike), putting an emphasis on its surroundings and using region's natural resources to great effect. There is a genuine emotional connection between its landmarks and denizens; a kind of great respect you rarely ever find. Entire cities exist in which their foundations happen to be from a portion of a species (Pacifidlog Town is built on top of a whole reef of Corsola), or utilizing the environment around them as permanent settlements (Fortree City exclusively harbours treehouses). Hoenn also harbours some of the cutest (and deadliest) critters in all of Pokemon: Roselia, Kirlia, Torchic, Mudkip, Spheal, Luvdisc, and Clamperl, just to name a few. And it's amusing to know that it teaches us that nature can be beautiful, illustrious, and magnificent (epitomized by Pokemon like Milotic, Gorebyss, and Flygon) but the full power of its otherwise destructive force can strike fear into a lot of folks (exemplified by the likes of Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza). That's the beauty of it all, and it symbolizes what life itself has to offer: a gorgeous figure with rough edges that needs refinement, but as trite as it sounds, it's the flaws that makes it so worth living. I personally grew up with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and there's not a single game I would trade in my Sapphire version for. It's housed numerous memories -- some glorious moments coupled with very angry ones, but all have been worth it. And for the record, I truly have felt like I was living in Hoenn for the longest time. 2. Foxborough, Massachusetts: I'm a big Patriots fan, and seeing as how I've never been to a live football game in person, it's something I want to get accomplished sometime in my life But eventually, seeing your team win with all those fans around you, knowing that they're cheering for the same thing as you are... it's an incredible feeling, and one I would love to keep soaking in. 3. USS Voyager (Star Trek: Voyager): When I was 10 years old I got into the sci-fi genre, and it's pretty much defined the majority of my character. Being stranded in the Delta Quadrant (that's around 75,000 light years away from Earth) may not be anyone else's idea of a good time but to be a part of Captain Janeway's crew, in a close-knit family like them... it'd be worth it, and even if in some alternate timeline where they didn't get home, I understand the fragility of life and never regret a moment of the experience. And screwing around in the holodeck -- who doesn't love that? -
Finished a big chemistry assignment in about 45 minutes with 15 minutes to spare. Fuck yeah.

It's pretty shitty when you find a very physically attractive member of the opposite sex over the internet, only to realize you can never really be with them in real life.
