    Wow, two pages in, and no Luna fanboys/girls? That's an academy record! I'm with the majority that say Celestia, I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm just glad that the "Equestria Anarchists" haven't turned up yet. (Hm, I just made up that phrase, maybe I'll copyright it)

    Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer, but I can't get excited about the 100th episode. Honestly, the whole episode will just be a load of fanservice, and if there's anything I hate about MLP, it's fanservice. MLP's lowest moment, to me, was when it made the stupid Dr. Whooves thing canon in Fall Weather Friends with the Doctor and Rose. That's not even a reference, it's just stupidly pointing out something that was out of place and unnecessary. I will bet money that, on the 100th episode, the writers will do something that just pisses off the community to no end. When they had to change Derpy's eyes during The Last Roundup, which they did to NOT GET SUED, the community still were mopey about it. I bet that the writers will, I don't know, turn Octavia's cello into a viola and the world will explode. It's gonna happen. Anyway, this doesn't mean that I won't watch the episode, I'm just saying that if Bronies actually controlled MLP, nothing good would happen, and so far it sounds like this will be an episode "for the bronies," so to speak. Pardon me if I withhold my enthusiasm. Sorry, I ran out of Wheaties this morning and had to pour a bowl of grumpy-O's Anyway, please tell me what you think about the "100th episode."

    Alright story time Starting out, I don't "hate" anybody. If they enjoy making their videos, and people are just stupid enough to watch them, it's not the YouTuber's fault. Anyway, I don't know much about gaming videos. Don't get me wrong, I watch a ton of gaming videos, but I have never visited a channel, watched a video, and was instantly offended or so mad that I had to rage about it in the comments or whatnot. I think people need to accept that just because a channel's jokes aren't funny to you, it doesn't mean that they aren't funny to somebody else. However, MLP youtubers I have strong opinions about. First of all, I don't mind most of the analysis community, but I think everybody needs to remember that it's a kids show. I know that's the go-to for analysis hate, but it's true. Why didn't Applebloom get more character development this episode? Because the show has to a. establish an exposition b. create conflict c. have some gags d. solve the conflict e. have a lesson for the kiddies to take home in 21 minutes It's a miracle that the producers can have this list of needs, much less have character development for every single pony. And, a pet peeve, when people say that they hate an MLP song because it's unnecessary or too "pop sounding." The show has to sell, okay? Every song can't be Find a Pet or Winter Wrap Up, because kids like songs like the ones that are on the radio. Anyway, had to let off some steam. Honestly, I know he gets a ton of hate, but I really enjoy Jerry Peet on YouTube. He's rude, annoying, and pretentious, but for all the right reasons. Anyway, discuss!

    @SwigglySwiggly "You want Aspirin?, I'm sorry but I'm legally not allowed to administer drugs outside of a hospital" Aspen was taken aback. "Um, that's okay...I wasn't really..." Aspen decided the best bet was to ignore the previous statement from this strange pony. "Well, you looked new, and I, uh...anyway, my name is Aspen. Aspen Swift." He shifted awkwardly from side to side. "Anyway, I was just gonna try out the new cupcake flavor for this week."

    @SwigglySwiggly "Wha-huh?" Aspen groggily looked around. "Why was I asleep on this park bench?" he wondered. "Let's see, he was going to see those hu-manes...in...Canterlot. Right? Then why..." Aspen bolted upright. "The train!" he thought. Aspen looked around for the clock, and facepalmed when he realized why nopony else was waiting around. "Well, nice job, you walnut," Aspen mentally scolded himself. Well, no use still pouting about it. Grooooowwwwwllll. He felt his belly complaining about the lack of food during the nap. "All right, little buddy, let's get some food." He looked around, suddenly subconscious about talking to his stomach. "I hope nopony saw me," he thought, looking around. The line for the train was gone, but ponies were still around talking about the "alien visitors," and generally catching up with one another. Aspen decided that Sugarcube corner was definitely the place to eat today; maybe to catch up with some friends, and definitely to get the weeks new flavor of cupcake. As he trotted up the front steps, he was overwhelmed with the aroma of freshly baked cupcakes. "Oh...Oh Celestia." He thought, eyes glazed over. Aspen stepped through the door and almost ran up to the cash register. There was another pony in line if front of him, a purple stallion with and indigo mane. Aspen, not being a pony to be impolite, put on his best smile. "Um, hi! I'm Aspen!"

    This episode was definitely my favorite this season. It wasn't too strong in character development, plot, or anything like that, but I know that I was laughing my flank off for 90% of the episode. It's weird, it's like everybody either loved it or hated it. It also seemed the style of humor had different effects on people, either they didn't laugh at all, or was rolling the entire time. See, this is how references should be made in MLP; random, awkward references that didn't blend well like in Fall Weather Friends with the Doctor and Rose? Not funny at all. It made me cringe. Playing the Metal Gear Solid sound as a quick, funny reference that doesn't stand out too much? Hilarious. Perfect, even. Anyway, best episode of the season, dare I say the show? Call me crazy.

    I might be interested in voice acting or editing, if you want an audition, PM or reply to me, but I'll also follow this and wait for the chance!

    No problem! First off, you are really an amazing artist! I really wish I could draw like that I also really like Anura's color scheme; the pink and brown of her hair contrast quite nicely. The only problem I could find is that the attention tends to wander away from the eyes, and people usually use a bright color close to the face to bring the view back to it. For example, all of the mane 6 either have light colored eyes or have bright colors close to the face to bring attention to it. Rainbow, Twilight, and Rarity all have darker shades of eyes, but Rainbow has the bright mane color, Twilight has her pink streak in her hair, and Rarity has the eye shadow. Of course, that's all just extremely nitpicky As for personality and backstory, I honestly couldn't find anything wrong. Her tendency to be nervous is an excellent example of character flaw, and we all know that a good character is not a perfect one. I couldn't find any contradictions or redundancies, and I generally enjoyed learning about her. Thank you so much for sharing her with me!

    Hello, my name is Aspen! I saw that there were a lot of people in this forum asking for help with their OC, and I thought about making a lil' place for ya'll to ask me my opinions and thoughts on them. I don't have many credentials, but I do have a lot of experience with color scheme, character development, and personality crafting. I will probably respond to you by the end of the day that you post your OC. Anyway, I guess that I'm open for business if you want some help! Can't wait to hear from you guys!

    I started the series recently, just started "Restaurant at the End of the Universe." Douglas Adams is my jam!

    Aspen decided that he needed to get to Canterlot. Fast. There was a train leaving today, it said in the paper. So, Aspen tried to pack up his things as quickly as possible, but din't know what he should pack. Was it going to be overnight? How much money should he bring? Aspen decided to just go with only a bit of money, and to buy anything he needed later. As he raced out the door, Aspen steered himself towards the road to the train station. He could see a small crowd of ponies waiting to board, and Aspen checked the clock. "Hmm, still a while 'till it's time to board." He thought. He went ahead and took a seat on a nearby bench, and waited for the train to roll in.

    I'm not sure about co-writer, but I'd love to help if you wanted to bounce ideas off of me or something.

    Hello, again! I had a bit of free time on my hands (or should I say hooves), and went ahead and recorded the script you sent me. I'm going to email it to you, as there are too many individual files, but I made an unedited single-mp3 version, which I can post here. The more edited, individual files I'll email. Anyway, had a ton of fun with this, I'm really starting to love Psych! Thanks! Combination.wav

    Aspen Swift could not believe what he had read. Humans? In Equestria!? This was beyond the realm of belief, beyond the realm of even consideration. He thought about what would happen to Ponyville, and the drastic changes sure to come following the crowd of onlookers to watch as the first humans set foot on Equestrian soil. Of course, everypony knows that they will be just the first. If everything goes well, floods of humans will be brought in to observe the new-found trans-dimensional neighbors. Ponyville will grow, sure, but is that Aspen really wanted? The population in Ponyville was just where Aspen wanted it currently; not a booming metropolis, but a nice, charming town with friendly citizens and interesting ponies to talk to. But as a result of this undeniable growth in popularity, the once-peaceful town will be spreading. Quiet forests will become noisy streets. And, Aspen thought with a shudder, maybe his beloved orchard will be affected. His orchard, passed down through hundreds of years of hard-working hooves, stripped from it's newest owner in a matter of moons. If the mayor of Ponyville wants a skyscraper built in the middle of the orchard, there's nothing Aspen could do about it. Industry will always trump history. Aspen carefully folded the article in the newspaper and placed it back on the worn oak table. He had made up his mind about two things: One, that he would greet the newcomers in town, and two, that he would do anything in his power to keep the hordes of the humans back in their native land.

    Hey, I'd love if you could look over this for me. Thanks! The Bliss.docx

    Hello, once again! I am extremely sorry about the wait, I tried to record yesterday, but I was really tired. Mondays are ridiculously busy for me. Anyway, I tried the lines again. The link you posted didn't work, and I tried to find it, but I couldn't, sorry. I recorded this again, and tried to give it an almost Pinkie Pie level of enthusiasm. I don't know if I'm even close to being on the right track with it, but I took the "ten cups of coffee" remark to heart while recording. Anyway, thanks for sticking with me, can't wait to hear back from you! don't be silly, filly.wav
  18. AspenSwift
    All right, I got the bit recorded! I tried to put a lot more energy into Psych, and voicing him was a lot easier now that I know a bit about his personality. Oh, and by the way, I am in my school's advanced show choir, and I could sing something if you wanted me to. I noticed you had a song in the beginning, and I could help out with vocals or such. I could send you some A Capella stuff if you want. don't be silly, filly.wav
  19. AspenSwift
    Okay, I might try again later tonight, with people in the house and such
  20. AspenSwift
    Well, I tried the first four of Psych's lines. Based on his lines, I voiced him as a little bit goofy, but not too much. Anyway, here it is. don't be silly, filly.wav
  21. AspenSwift
    Well, awesome! Glad you were impressed! I'm okay with anything you want me for. I have plenty of time to record, and have a decent mic, as you probably heard.
  22. AspenSwift
    Hey, I thought I'd apply for a role. I think the only role that could maybe be for a guy was just a random background pony, but if you need me for anything else, I'd be up for it. Anywhere, here we go. The audition was for something else, but I read a few lines. Thanks! A sign.wav

    I use LMMS, It's like FLStudios Lite

    Making up words would definitely be something that Pinkie would do. Go crazy with it!
  25. AspenSwift
    I thought it was pretty good, needed more music, though
