I think my non-brony girlfriend would kill me and eat the pony. On a less disturbing note, I'd wonder how Dash came into this world in the first place and ask if she needs help getting back somehow. All while I'm slowly turning to stone under the actually really scary death glare of my girlfriend. (I really love her, but she can be scary when she's angry.)

I do this too. As an added bonus, the MLP shirts I have aren't very clearly MLP. If you're a brony you'll instantly recognize them, but if not they're just shirts. I tend to wear them to cons, although I wear them in daily life a lot as well.

The problem with saying sorry, though, is that the other person needs to be willing to accept it too. We, by which I mean the people on this forum, give things like this a lot of thought and we relate it to the world around us. However even we can easily be caught up in our own emotions and respond way out of line. At moments like that, an apology would not get through to us because the 'peace offering' doesn't satisfy us at those moments. External factors like stress and fatigue play into this as well. I've noticed that certain people (who shall remain unnamed even though they're not on this forum) become completely unwilling to see reason in certain situations and will not accept anything said to them, at all. That's not because they lack empathy, but more due to fatigue and stress just bringing out the worst in them. I myself am certainly not immune to that and I've been irrationally angry at people. It's taken me up to ten minutes to start reasoning again and realizing my reactions were exaggerated. Sadly, online people care even less about each other because there are no repercussions to being toxic in a comment section. Bans really don't scare anyone. Put on the spot, they'll show empathy, I think, but some people just enjoy being hurtful and in their mind objective reason isn't necessary because 'they're right anyway'. In relation to MLP, well, some people like the characters as more than just great characters. I can understand that, but a negative consequence of this is that any harm that comes to that character is met with immediate hatred and the call for blood will drown out the voice of reason. To people who know themselves to be like this (in certain cases I count myself among you): try to take a step back and view the bigger picture. You cannot help your favorite character by slandering others. They will deal with the situation themselves because of the nature of this show. Keep calm and carry on.

I've read it, but I wasn't very impressed. I also wasn't very clear on what it was supposed to be. It's too stupid to be creepy and it just screams 'trollfic' to me. There's lots of gratuitous gore without any emotional responses. Seriously, if you're going to write a grimdark story where Dashie or anyone else gets horribly murdered, put some effort into it. A fic like that should have your audience in tears over your cruelty, not scratching their heads going, wtf did I just read? In fact the gore goes so over the top that the impact of the pain Dash underwent was non-existent. Smaller things could elicit a more emotional response because we'd try to imagine it, but this just goes way beyond anything relatable, and thus diminishes the emotional response.

As much as I like certain fan content, I wouldn't want any of it, not even my own, to influence the creative process of making FiM. I'd much rather they made all the toys show accurate because quite frankly most toys are still every bit as hideous as they were before G4 came around.

Don't think I could convince my friends to try it; they refuse on the grounds that it's MLP. Maybe I can get them to read this thread, though, since they've been known to google online nicks for fun and then quoting my own posts at me.

For me, in the first movie she was just a bland antagonist who didn't have much going for her. In the second one, she's trying to gain acceptance from both her new friends and the people she'd brainwashed in the first movie. In RR, I see that she's having a hard time adjusting to her new lifestyle because she's never known friendship despite the fact the people offered it to her. She realizes she can't do everything by herself, but she doesn't quite know how to talk to her friends yet either. I think the struggle she faces with that is portrayed rather well. Everything she's experiencing, from the events themselves to the accompanying emotions, seems more or less as I'd expect. One could say that because of that she's rather one-dimensional, but personally I feel that's mainly because Sunset is a rather extreme character. When she was evil, she thought she was above everyone else, including Celestia, but reformed she feels everything she does might be out of line. I attribute this to an overcompensation in regards to who she used to be and I think that given time she'll find her balance. She still has a bit of bitterness inside her as evidenced by the line "It must be nice always having people come to you to solve their problems instead of waiting for you to cause one", the delivery of which began with a rather forced lightheartedness but ended with a definite, bitter undertone. Of course, all of these things are simply things I see and they're nothing more than my opinion. I've read the whole debate between Dulset and Tilt and I think both have valid points. It all depends on your point of view.

Two crossed epees, because fencing is such an important part of my life. Then again, I'm not naturally talented in it but I've heard I'm a decent writer so maybe a quill and parchment?

I don't actually have an OC, but Simon Templeman should voice him if I did. The man is by far my favorite voice actor.

If they let the movie be directed by Michael Bay, start focusing on humans and not ponies and if everything exploded. No, I'm not bitter about the Transformers movies at all, why?

Haven't seen any, but then, I haven't been a member for very long. I have noticed that the site is excellently moderated though, so kudos to all the mods for keeping things running so smoothly.

Eeeyup is one I've used for ages so I keep doing that, but that one's fairly neutral. When speaking English I have once accidentally said everypony instead of everybody, but that doesn't happen often since I usually speak Dutch.

First thing, lack of hands would be the bane of my existence right off the bat. Second, what am I? I have nothing against Earth Ponies but I'd much rather be a unicorn or Pegasus. Third, "Oh f**k, I'm naked." I saw a post about pony senses but I honestly don't know how different MLP senses are from ours. I mean, their eyes aren't positioned to the sides of their heads so they would have normal binocular vision like we do. Maybe even better considering the size of their eyes, but who knows. (Incidentally, since forward facing eyes with good binocular vision are quite predatory traits, I wonder if the ponies were ever predators.) After the initial shock and confusion I'd sit down somewhere and try to figure out how I got there in the first place. Then I'd try to find something resembling clothing because horse or not, I'm not walking around naked. Finally I'd probably find either Twilight or Princess Celestia and try to get back home.

Dashie's my favorite and imagining her reaction being called cute is funny (and of course adorable) enough to vote for her. Twilight's my second choice because despite her intelligence she can be so delightfully awkward.

I don't know if these guys are from the US or not, but still: Simon Templeman Michael Bell Paul Lukather Rene Auberjonois They voice Kain, Raziel, Vorador and Janos Audron, respectively in the Legacy of Kain series and to this day I've never seen better voice acting anywhere. I would have included Tony Jay in the list, bud sadly he passed away in 2006. I think especially Simon Templeman would be awesome for a bad guy. EDIT: Simon's English
