  1. MLP helped me make many friends and ever discover things I had never heard about before through it's community. My social life in general is prettly sloppy and cold, but MLP helped me mantain it. I would barely have any friends without it.
  2. Well, my mother toungue is spanish and I speak english almost fluently (Sometimes, I can't understand what someone says or a sentence with complex words). As for languages I want to learn, my inner weaboo has been screaming to me in my ear that I should learn japanese ever since I existed, but it died down a bit after I got into ponies because my interest in anime and japanese video games gradually disappeared. Now that I do Aikido, I got that interest back because it would be easier to memorize the names of the techniques and stuff. Oh, and I'm slightly interested in learning French and BR Portuguese, but for trivial reasons. I'd only learn French so I can understand the lyrics of a song by Le Soldat Pony and Portuguese because it seems very similar to spanish and therefore easy to learn for me.
  3. I don't use Facebook. I LIVE in Facebook. Well, I lurk it. I barely post anything, but I simply read the posts from other people, talk to the friends I made there, and watch pages. I visit it at least once a day. It also kind of surprises me that the majority of the people who answered this thread claim to be distant to Facebook. I'm not entirely sure why.
  4. What's on my mind?

      Brain juice?

      That doesn't sound edible... Is it?

      It would more likely be potable considering it's juice.

  5. Today I did something I should have done years ago... I started reading Fallout:Equestria. (DUN DUN DUN). Let's see if it's as great as most people make it out to be.

  6. Well, it really depends on your point of view. Is this world magical to me? Yes, but only in a very specific way. Not in the way of how everything is connected and the very element of chaos, since I consider that an entirely different thing. I believe this world is "magical" because of how we control the events. From what I've seen through the fictions I've seen where magic is real as it is, I concluded that magic is the generation of an event through the explotation of energy. This event or condition could be anything possible between the given universal laws, from making a source of light to causing someone's death. It's like typing a command in a game's console. We do that, but in a different way from what we see in tales about magicians and mystical stuff. We exploit the laws of physics as we know them to make our own events, just that with larger limitations. This limitations are usually the product of not knowing enough about such laws to make a certain event possible or simply lacking the capability to generate enough energy to make it happen, whatever it is. In a way, you could say that magic is limitless technology. Is this world magical? Yes, just that it's not the kind of magic you see in fiction; just like the fact that robots exist but they're different from what we see in movies or just the general media about them. TL;DR: Any sufficiently advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic. Therefore, our world could be considered magical but limited.
  7. Sometimes, I feel like the only one who liked "Reflections". (That IDW arc about how mirrors to other worlds were created in Equestria)

      In truth, it is definitely one of the more divisive of the comic arcs, but I personally adored it. My favorite of the comics by far.

       

      Good King Sombra. <3

  8. Me? I'm woking on my musical skills in general: I'm trying to polska polish my guitar, bass, and vocal knowledge and I'm also trying to find inspiration to make MLP-related music that's loyal to the concept it wishes to represent and not just an instrumental with a picture of Rainbow Dash in the video it would be uploaded in. (Kind of like sogreatandpowerful, if he was a teenager that made 3-chord alt-rock instrumentals for his own amusement) I'm also trying to get better at LoL and to prepare myself for that part of the year where I go from waking up at 10 AM every day to waking up at 5:45 AM everyday. (Some people call it "starting school")
  9. Hm... Nah. You see, I think it's completely unncesesary. Especially because the whole show is about the magic of friendship. I think "intellectual" fights like the ones we saw in "The Return of Harmony" and "Friendship is Magic" fit this more; it's more interesting than a fight full of big explosions and huge exchanges of destructive power between two characters for the kind of fiction MLP:FiM is. I want to use Doctor Who as an example for this, even if it's barely relatable. You barely see any actual physical fights or violent action scenes: it's all about the Doctor having to solve and outsmart his enemy, or facing some moral dilemma, inner demon, or whatever inconvenience shows up. From what I percieve, My Little Pony is closer to this than fights like the one between Twilight and Tirek. It's simply not necessary. I used DW as an example because every episode is like that, anyways. MLP episodes with conflicts involving big villains who want to ruin Equestria in some way are extremely rare and only fitting for Season openings or finales. After all, it's more of a slice of life comedy series with social conflicts than one about big adventures to SAVE THE WORLD. TL;DR: Action and/or fighting scenes don't fit the approach that's usually seen in episodes to solve problems. It's more about outsmarting the enemy and defeating it with friendship.
  10. I scored 19 and I'm glad, although I'm still trying to find the "Of course" answer to that question about wanting to change.
  11. My profession!? Well, I've always wanted to be a baker... Yes, a baker.

  12. What would the world be like without sight? What would things be like? What would they look like? Would computers exist like they do here? Also, another one I've wondered about is what would the world be without human beings or without society. What would life be like if we acted solely on instinct like the rest of the animals?
  13. Equestria Girls 3 and an actual pony movie were announced (The pone one is estimated to be released in 2017), many SJWs in Tumblr want to see everyone of us dead just because we exist, two... things (I can't recall what they are) were launched into space that contain the image of Celestia and Luna respectively, and...That's pretty much anything "global" I can recall and tell you about the fandom. There were many dramas, too. Too many to mention. I'm not sure if you already knew all of this stuff. I'm not very in touch with this fandom myself now-a-days. Also, our community is pretty stagnated, as it always becomes when we go through a season hiatus. The wait for season 5 is long and boring. Also, M.A Larson still recommends his novel: Pennyroyal Academy. Sample Text
  14. Mind on your what's¿

  15. *insert here an unfunny, witty joke*

  16. D.A.N.C.E. (Damn Animals Not Copying Entertainment). It would be a post-post-post-post-post hard pop rock rap grunge funk metal with a tendency to add dubstep drops and jazz bass solos in the middle of every song. I could mention a certain band I'm in right now, but it's name is kind of a secret.
  17. What about the ability to predict... The past? YEAH, I'd love something like that. Saving lives and stuff with it.
  18. *insert here some sad song quote*

  19. Plus rien que des amis et des souvenirs.

  20. I'm as clumsy, butterfingered, and potato-sack-with-extremities-ish as a sentient; living organism can possibly be.
  21. I always thought the "pony of shadows" we see in the episode is Tirek. (Even like that, you can kind of explain it with the events in the IDW Nightmare Rarity arc I'm not going to mention explicitly for spoilery reasons). It IS frustrating to see that we never got another mention of Flutterbat, though. Not even a small reference to the continuity. Personally, I think it's one of the most interesting parts of the season. The problem is that it's hard to make it fit with the rest of the show. Same reason why Discord barely appears at all in the episodes. He doesn't fit in the usual context that most of the episodes take where it's a generic slice of life social situation.
  22. If only the show referenced at least one IDW comic...
