  1. So, Avengers: Age of Ultron. That movie was just one minute of win after another in so many ways, and I LOVED it!!! :D :D :D

  2. Hey there! Wasn't sure if you were aware that the artist who made your ridiculously hip and classy Rarity-avatar pic came out with this beauty too: http://luminaura.deviantart.com/art/Ponybucks-Cafe-478625556

      Eyup. I watch that person's career with great interest.

      Very good! Everything going well running things around here? I'm hoping to launch another fanfiction contest in the next week myself, so that should be a fun thing to start summer for many of our members. :3

  3. Hello there! Beautiful work on the banner, and it's nice to see a pony featured who's not a Mane 6 member or supporting character. Is that a background character or an OC? :3

      Thank you very much that means a lot to me, I absolutely agree about seeing a non Mane 6 member for the banner. In the banner contest they wanted a spring themed banner so flowers came to mind and the pony that popped in my head was Junebug, she is not an OC she is a background pony I thought she fitted spring nicely. :)

      She most certainly does. It's a shame that some of the characters with more springy colors, especially those with lighter yellows, tend to get overlooked, they have some absolutely lovely designs.

  4. I was mostly just being over-the-top for the sake of being over-the-top. Obviously it's not like I have a grudge against him or anything. But the thread asked if I hate any of the characters, and that's really the only character in the show that I get no pleasure out of watching, so there you have it. -_-
  5. They're not racist, they're jerks, there's a difference. On top of that, they're teenage-jerks, which is a whole other level of bad, but I don't think the jerkiness really changes that much with age for dragons. Maybe they won't be quite the same punks when they're older, but they might be even more hotheaded than they were before, who knows? We've seen what adult dragons in the show can be like, and that's nasty and short-tempered. Either way, it's not really racism, not unless you read too much into it.
  6. Owlowiscious: He's not in the show that much. There, I said something nice. Bucking owl. :okiedokielokie: I hope you did, motherbucker! P.S. I would include Flash Sentry if I considered him to be an actual character (Equestria or human world, doesn't matter). But he's not. I'm convinced that Flash Sentry is a cardboard cutout that Celestia, Luna, and Cadance decided to animate for lolz, and then enchanted it to make Twilight develop a crush on it for no apparent reason. Makes more sense to me than accepting that he's supposed to be an actual person/pony!
  7. Are any of the MLP characters hateable? Bucking Owlowiscious, that's who. :okiedokielokie: I really shouldn't hate this guy, but I do with a fiery passion! Why? Why do I hate this guy when there are far more unlikable characters like Diamond Tiara or Tirek? Well, it all comes down to how you define "unlikable". Characters like DT, Tirek, etc., they do bad, annoying, or even loathsome things. But, to their credit, they are at least entertaining! They leave an actual impression! Owlowiscious is offensive in the sense that he is offensively boring and useless. His 'Hoo' gag is annoying as buck and overplayed, he barely does anything at all, but it doesn't ever seem like he does anything wrong, either, so he's practically a Gary Stu in that regard. There is just not one thing I like about him, and I get really ticked off anytime he shows up on screen. He's just so dull!
  8. Man, I'm sad to see her go (even if MMMystery on the Friendship Express is my most hated episode of the show to date... no, I'm not joking, I loathe that episode :okiedokielokie:). But still, she did some great work on the show, and even though I'm very happy for her, she will be missed. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the show since Season 1, Miss Rogers!
  9. That wasn't really "hibernation", that was more so the writers incorporating the age-old tradition of dragons being lazy bastards who sleep all day on piles of gold once they get themselves a nice, big ol' hoard. The dragon wasn't sleeping because he needed to, he was sleeping because that's what dragons do with giant piles of gold and gems. Observe: That's a dragon schtick that goes as far back as Beowulf itself. Anyways, point is, Spike's a dragon, for sure. Heck, we've seen him as a full-sized dragon when he let his greed get out of control (a quality that seems to be innate to and particularly touchy for all dragons, almost biological even, at least in Equestria).
  10. Hope everything works out for you. At this point, I wouldn't worry too much, but if the unrest keeps up through the summer, who knows what could happen? Certainly hope everything gets squared away there and things get back to normal soon.
  11. Its role in the media? I... don't really know. Lots of people still don't know what fanfiction is, those who do tend to keep their fanfiction reading or writing habits to themselves, and anytime it crops up in media, it's usually that poor fanfiction is the butt of some joke, but that's it.
  12. In the show itself? I would be shocked if we ever saw an explicitly gay character, but the designs and characterizations are diverse enough that you could possibly interpret one or more as being gay. Now of course the fandom's a whole other story entirely, especially fanfiction. You see all sorts of gay characters there, whether they're canon or OCs. Back to the canon world though, knowing what I know about developed societies in general, I think it's safe to assume that somewhere in this particular fictional universe there is at least one gay resident of Equestria. But again, that's head-canon that'll probably never be shown on the show itself. That... is sadly true. I don't say 'sadly' with any bias against gay ponies, I say 'sadly' because it's dang lazy creative thinking.
  13. Hey everyone, this is just a quick update about BronyCon 2015, but given its size and relevance to the fandom, I thought it might be prudent to post this in light of recent events. As I'm sure most of you know, over the weekend and through Monday, quite a bit of civil unrest, protests, and eventually rioting broke out in Baltimore, MD. As I'm sure most of you are also aware, Baltimore has been the host city of BronyCon for most years since it started. Given recent events, the staff there felt the need to issue a statement about how the recent riots, at this time, affect this year's plans for the con. Long story short, at this time there are no plans to change the venue. Given that the con is at the start of August, the convention staff are confident that the city will be safe and order restored by the time the convention rolls around. That said, they are still monitoring the situation and ensured fans that they have a contingency plan in place in case they need to make a last minute change of venue. You can read the full update by clicking on the link below to BronyCon's homepage. I just thought I'd get the word out for any bronies or pegasisters with plans in place to attend BronyCon this year. BronyCon 2015 Homepage and Baltimore Update Oh yeah, one more thing. To any forum members who may live in or near Baltimore, stay safe and God's blessings. I pray that peace may be restored to your city soon.
  14. Man, it's been months since I posted in this thread! Well, I'm back, and I've got this sick remix of "In Our Town" for ya'll, courtesy of the talented Eurobeat Brony. Enjoy!!!
  15. Good stuff, good stuff, monitoring threads as closely as our staff does is a big reason this site remains the premier online brony forum. Good work admins and mods, and thanks for updating the rest of us!
  16. No one's getting worked up over it, it's just a cool little detail is all, and the fact that DHX would pay such close attention to a small detail like that just speaks to the quality of their work on the show and how much they care about it. Yeah, we didn't have anything previously that suggested it would be scissors, but Sweetie Belle mentions as soon as they hear what it is that Babs was always futzing around with her mane and tail when she visited them, so my guess is it signifies that she's supposed to be a manedresser/stylist. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
  17. It really seems like more and more people are starting to like that episode. Don't know why it took so long, but I guess all that matters is that folks are coming around to it. It still boggles me that so many people didn't like it when it first aired; kind of as boggling as the fact that some people didn't like "Feeling Pinkie Keen" when it first aired because a religious message could be drawn from its underlying themes. I'm not disputing that it could, but I don't see why some people thought that was a bad thing; in fact, as a religious person myself, that only further confirmed my love of the show as I was getting into it while first going through Season 1. :grin2:
  18. I completely understand most everyone's issues with "Rainbow Falls". That said, you know my position as well ; as far as I'm concerned, we learned in that episode that Derpy was the official "Alternate Element of Loyalty" . That will always make it amazing to me. :comeatus: She's the hero that episode deserved, and the one it needed right then and there.
  19. Me at the end of the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Renigb_I6sM The bronymen have been called and assembled; the Fandom remembers, Morrow and Larson. We're coming for you all in DHX Landing, and we shall seize the Writer's Throne.

      It would be a good comeback from the "cookie cat" (seriously, with those name changes, I had to look to the combined "Administrator Alicorn" at the left and "EquestriaTV" at the bottom to recognize Arti).

  20. Agreed. And correct me if I'm wrong, but you and I are among the few who actually like "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" correct?
  21. Super happy for you and all the other RD fans out there, buddy (not that I mind seeing any of the Mane 6 get a terrific episode either, I just know it means even more to their "(blank) is best pony" fans ). With an episode like that, I just gotta sit, hope, and pray that Derpy and the other background ponies will get to shine just as awesomely come the 100th episode. Gosh dang, I wish it wasn't still over a month away, but I'm sure the wait will be worth it!!!
  22. Forget the reference, let's all talk about how amazing that new Twitter username is!!!
