  1. I thought it was pretty funny! Like OP said, it represents a very small minority-- the crazies-- and I don't think it's anything to be too offended by. The one thing it did make me feel bad about is how I keep my pony collection on a shelf... And I'm a 19-year-old girl rather than an 8-year-old one ): But rational-me reminds us all that they are, indeed, pieces of plastic meant for either decoration or play. All-in-all, an amusing short.
  2. Unicorns don't have everything earth ponies do; they lack the powerful and intrinsic connection with nature that earth ponies have. I hope the show does something to showcase earth ponies' unique talents soon; they really seem to be getting the short end of the stick when they don't necessarily need to.
  3. Gems are minerals, and a few are formed by chemical precipitation and crystallization of gem- and mineral-forming elements. This means that provided that the local earth has the proper elemental makeup, gem-type minerals can essentially "reproduce" on their own! ^That was a highly elementary explanation there with some assertions that may be false, but I think the general gist is true. Essentially, if Equestria's chemical composition is right... Gems ain't living!
  4. I've been playing piano for 15 years now!
  5. This is a bit all over the place, mostly because I have a nasty habit of putting songs on repeat when I do schoolwork. 1. Forbidden Friendship - John Powell - How To Train Your Dragon (282) 2.

United State of Pop 2009 - DJ Earworm (67) 7. Winter Wrap-Up - PONI (65) 8. The Office Themesong (63) 9. "Happiness" (Giggle at the Ghosties remix-- not sure of artist) (58) 10. Human - The Killers (57) 11. At the Gala - PONI (56) 12. Appalachian Spring Movt I. Very Slowly - Aaron Copland (55) 13. Loved Ones and Leaving - Prague Philharmonic - Harry Potter (53) 14.

  6. If I recall correctly, Word of Faust states that there are no humans in the FiM universe. G1, however...
  7. SATs... So glad to be free of those. I came from an environment where almost everyone tutored and studied out the wazoo for those tests-- which is highly offensive to me considering that the SAT is supposed to be an aptitude test. That being said, I probably would have done much better if I had tossed away my pride and actually studied. I wound up with 760 Critical Reading, 640 Math, 770 Writing-- 2170 composite?
  8. I haven't watched any of the other shows, so I tend to pass judgment on the previous generations based on the toys. G2 was my childhood, so I'm quite biased toward that!
  9. I don't have any wearable merch, really, but I buy my pony toys from a combination of Toys R Us, Target, Hasbrotoyshop, and BBTS/EE!
  10. Hey all! I'm a huge Pokémon fan so I thought I may as well pop into this thread. I'm more of a collector than a battler-- I've made it my duty since Gen III to collect a live dex (keeping one of every monster in the box), and that's what I really get the most joy from doing *_* Not sure how I feel about the announcement of Black and White 2. The new Kyurem formes are certainly odd, but at the same time a nifty concept. I guess we'll have to wait and see how the games turn out
  11. I would miss my friends, and on a larger scale, the whole life I've built up here. All of my knowledge, my plans, my goals, my relationships would be gone. ...I don't think I want to go to Equestria. I like it here, truth be told.
  12. My first reaction when I saw an MLP thread on another forum was "Huh, ponies." That's all. I just kind of... Ignored it-- never decided I liked or disliked it, until I randomly decided to watch the first episode! And, well. You know what came next.
  13. It's incredibly hard-- possibly even impossible-- to mass-produce perfectly styled nylon hair, and would be economically unrealistic for the toy producers to attempt this. Remember that toy line production has to compromise toy quality and sell-ability with factors such as ease and cost of production! The descriptions on the back of the boxes vary from release to release, as to the accessories. They probably mentioned flight on the Glimmer Wings Rarity because that's the draw of the Glimmer Wings toy-- the wings, and the flying action! The original Fluttershy releases came with Angel bunny and a wagon, or, in the larger set, a nursery tree with a bunch of animals. You're referring to the Easter special Fluttershy right now, I think, which is a different case completely! As for Pinklestia: she's long been a problem with bronies, and with me too. The issue comes down to this: bronies are not the target demographic of MLP toys. They aren't ever going to be the main consumers of 'em either, because little girls outnumber bronies! Unfortunately, market research tells Hasbro that a pink pony might sell better than a white one-- thus Pinklestia. Luckily for us, Toys R Us is coming out with a Whitelestia release soon. In conclusion: yeah, you do bring up valid points about the inaccuracies of the toys, but just remember that bronies never have been and probably never will be the top priority of Hasbro. Though the fandom is growing, yes, it's still a matter of numbers. The My Little Pony line has always focused on walking a curious line between playability and collectability, and unfortunately that means that we're unlikely to see highest quality, collector-style items coming our way. ...Unless you count the recently announced Toys R Us line, which features Zecora, Whitelestia, Nightmare Moon, Trixie, and DJ-P0N3. And Lyra's confirmed to be in the wedding line.
  14. I always fondly remembered ponies as those awesome rainbow-colored toys I played with as a little girl! I would make them go to war with dinosaurs. Teehee.
  15. I think as far as the canon timelines go, Pinkie probably lacks a connection to Discord outside of the fact that she herself could be described as a slightly chaotic pony-- which makes it no surprise that she enjoys some of Discord's shenanigans to a certain point. Now, in fanciful headcanon land, perhaps Discord once was the bearer of the Element of Laughter, back when he was a pure-hearted pony... Oh boy it's fanfic time!
  16. What the song lacked in cohesion, it definitely made up for in charm and hilarious lyrics. I definitely approve!
  17. 1. Apple Bloom 2. Princess Celestia 3. Twilight Sparkle 4. Rainbow Dash 5. Rarity
  18. I've been known online as Autumn for about five or six years now, but usually plain ol' "autumn" is taken as a username at larger communities. "Autumnalone" is nifty as a username because it can be read in two ways: Autumnal One or Autumn Alone, or so I thought when I drafted this handle all those ages ago. I'm just used to using it, honestly. Couldn't imagine having any other name!
  19. You can always grab him a fashion style-sized figure of his favorite pony, or even go out on a limb and grab a full set of blind bags, if you've got the cash and he doesn't already have them.
  20. I'd love to see Scootaloo get some flying lessons from Rainbow Dash, or something otherwise filled with adorable. Each of the other CMC have had a feature episode this season, or at least one that highlights their relationship with their family, and it would be nice if Scoots got the same treatment at some point!
  21. Eh, I wouldn't really define my thoughts as overreaction... After all, the only "action" I've taken is to make that there post! It's just my opinion on things; you're welcome to yours and I'd hope that I would be welcome to mine as well. I hope this all settles down sooner rather than later... Unrest in greater bronydom is never fun. ):
  22. I really must say the the fallout over Derpy, and especially the way the community lashed out at certain individuals, leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. Events like this explain my dislike for fanon very clearly. That being said, I really don't have an opinion on the Derpy issue itself. I'm probably among the few who would have preferred she remained a lineless background pony, but I was never up in arms over her canon portrayal and I don't care equally about the remodel on her. The show is the show; no individual brony has the ability to change that.
  23. From shortest-term to longest... heading back to campus this weekend Job interview at AMNH! new Pokemon game announcement MLP wedding sets Disney's Brave (hopefully) that summer job I'm interviewing for!
  24. It's certain that Luna in 1x02 is definitely smaller than Nightmare Moon, and I'm inclined to say that the older Princess Luna from Luna Eclipsed is also smaller than Celestia, though larger than the earlier design for Luna. She hardly towers over Twilight like Celestia usually does! I have no screencaps and fancy analysis to give, however, so this is just another subjective opinion to be tossed into the ring.
