  1. Collaborations are Magic! Especially when violent controversies are involved! :D

  2. Pretty much what I said in the video, albeit with a bit more emphasis on the roles of 'Harmony,' 'Order,' and 'chaos,' in how they determine Discord's nature. I would almost go so far as to say that Discord was never necessarily "evil," for the reasons that you listed!
  3. Forgot to post this last week, but I did an analysis on Discord!

  4. Definitely. As demonstrated in my video, that concern of Discord being literally chaos incarnate does make you wonder what, exactly, his role is in Equestria. I took the perspective of retaining a figurative balance between total order and total chaos; you could almost consider applying the typical morality alignment system employed in many tabletop RPGs (In this case, post-reformation Discord would be Chaotic Neutral, and post-Tirek would be Chaotic Good). I definitely think that Celestia overestimated Discord's resolve and/or underestimated Tirek's manipulative capabilities, or else she somehow knew that Discord's betrayal was necessary for the final key to be discovered (#alicornlogichurtsmybrain). I think that there is a lot of future potential for Discord. I mean, of all the characters in the show that we have become acquainted with, Discord has probably changed more over the course of the last two seasons than any other (with the exception of Twilight, potentially), so I would be interested to see if they focus at all on him coming to terms with his new conditions (which they have already done to an extent, but more could be done with it). I do like that Grogar comic that you linked; I think that would be a fantastic approach to an episode if they chose to bring Grogar back!
  5. I really need to watch more Next Generation, haha! I knew that Discord and Q were similar characters, but I didn't realise that they were *that* similar! And yeah, of the many examples of anthropomorphic personification used in visual media, I think that I see more embodiments of chaos than just about any other fundamental abstraction (with the exception of Death, maybe). Not that I'm complaining at all; those tend to make for more entertaining characters! Indeed, I fully agree. But conflict involving his nature is always a possibility, as he becomes more accustomed to this new life of his. I for one am interested to see how they continue to develop his character going into Season Five!
  6. I wanted to do a quick examination and evaluation of Discord's character, in an effort to better understand the nature and subsequent ramifications of his reformation. I would absolutely love to hear everypony's feedback!!
  7. I've uploaded an analysis video about Crystal Ponies, check it out!

  8. In which I take a look at the phenomena that is the Crystal Ponies, and evaluate why it is that they are the way that they are. Oh, and some other stuff happens, too… Let me know what you guys think!

  10. 2fancy4me. With a name such as that even the Canterlot Elite could not possibly turn me away! XD Anypony else want to weigh in before I make a final decision?
  11. I keep forgetting that you can "brohoof" posts. XP

      Haha, it's all good man xP

  12. Ooh, I like that. For some reason, I really like that! I'm going to keep that one on the side-burner as a definite possibility! No final decisions yet, but man, that one sounds good! Thank you so much for the suggestion!
  13. I get what you are saying. As you can see from my original post, I was doing my best to keep the meaning behind the name similar. At the moment, most people I've asked elsewhere seem to like Gilded Quill, but I can see how that would be un-MLP-esque. Basically, I am trying to make my name communicate my love of writing. And, as I said in the original post, I would prefer to keep the "Quill" part, so that I can still use "Quill'd In" in the title of my analysis videos. I guess, while I would prefer to be as MLP-esque as possible, I would much rather have my name define my character, to an extent.
  14. Sadly, that perfect name was Silver Quill. I genuinely put a lot of thought into that one, which is why it is so hard for me to change it now! D: Ah, if only, if only! But thanks for the compliment (I'm just going to go ahead and take that as a compliment ) Hmm, I like Aureate Quill as well! Some have told me where I have asked elsewhere that it is a touch too long or strange sounding, but I dunno, I'm seriously thinking about it! Thanks for your input, Ghosty!
  15. True, but I would rather not use my real name on the internet. Plus, I like the idea of keeping it pony-esque sounding. Hmm, that's an interesting one. Kind of catchy, too. I'll think about it, thanks!
  16. Greetings, everypony! So, I have been known as "Silver Quill" for almost my entire experience as a Brony, and until recently, everything was fine! However, the sudden semi-recent popularity of the analyst/Youtuber "MLP-Silver-Quill" has been causing me a lot of problems, with people confusing me with him and/or vice versa (it was the worst at BronyCon this year, with people asking for my autograph thinking that I was him). Now don't get me wrong, I am not blaming MLP-Silver-Quill for anything, and I thoroughly enjoy both his YouTube videos and his DeviantArt stuff, so it is for both of our sakes that I seek to change my OC's name. And that is where you come in. Over the months I have grown quite attached to "Silver Quill" as my pony name; after all, I chose it specifically because I believed that it did a good job representing my personality and interests ("Silver" -> 'silvertongue', "Quill" -> writing utensil). It will be tough departing from "Silver Quill," but I believe it to be necessary. So, any ideas? If at all possible, I would like to keep the "Quill" part of my name, because I have enjoyed using it as a fun-sounding name for my YouTube Vidoes (e.g. "Quill'd In: Why Pony Analysis?"), but hey, if somepony has a good, catchy suggestion, I will definitely think about it! So, some names that I have thought up thus far in an effort to keep the personal significance of the name are: Gilded Quill ("Gilded" - to give a bright, pleasing, or specious aspect to.) Aureate Quill ("Aureate" - characterized by an ornate style of writing or speaking.) Embroidered Quill ("Embroidered" - to adorn or embellish rhetorically, especially with ornate language or fictitious details) Steady Quill So let me know if you like any of those ideas, or even better, if you have an idea of your own! I appreciate any and all help that I could get with this,it really does mean a lot to me! And feel free to check out the attached image of my OC's cutie mark for further inspiration, if needed! Thanks a tonne in advance!! ~Silver Quill P.S. THANK GOD for the internet!
  17. Greetings, everypony! So last week I hit 400 subscribers on YouTube, and I really wanted to do something to show my appreciation! So... why not cover more Frozen songs? Here's a cover of "Reindeer(s) are Better than People," with a ponified twist; far from my best work of lyric writing [or singing, for that matter] but I hope that everypony enjoys, all the same!!! http://youtu.be/yfJlmdV4Uog Or SoundCloud, if you prefer: https://soundcloud.com/silverquill-1/ponies-are-better-than-people Lyrics: Me: Ponies are better than people Macintosh, isn't that true? Macintosh: Yeah, people will tease you and cuss you and hate you Every one of them's rotten, 'cept you Me: Hey, if you say so... But people aren't cartoons, like ponies Macintosh, isn't that right? Macintosh: That's once again true, to everyone, 'cept you Me: Fair point, let's call it a night Macintosh: Good night Me: Don't let the parasprite's bite
  18. Sometimes I love my local news station:

  19. Hey, you asked a reasonable question so I tried to give you a reasonable answer!
  20. Well lets take a step back here and evaluate what exactly 'omnipotence' means. (I would suggest reading the Wikipedia article for some nice, quick, at-a-glance information.) To be omnipotent is to be, basically, all-powerful, which is why many monotheistic religions have it as a characteristic attribute to their deity. Being very powerful =/= all powerful. Omnipotence has no limits, unless narrowed to a specific segment of reality (i.e. Discord is omnipotent in matters of chaos/disharmony [see the Anthropomorphic Personification article on TV Tropes for more info on this one]). Even Celestia and Luna are not omnipotent, for their powers have a limit, and can in turn be overthrown (i.e. Queen Chrysalis in A Canterlot Wedding pt. 2). Twilight has a lot of power, yes, and a lot of potential for further growth to become one of the most powerful beings in all of Equestria. However, for her to become omnipotent she would have to achieve power beyond the physical realm, over all the physical realm. The word "unfathomable" comes to mind. Anyhay, that's my two bits on the matter.
  21. Trying to suppress the little critic in my head....
