  1. In anime the tomboyish girl that fights with all the gangs and plays sports is usually short. 

     

    I can imagine Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash the shortest and also about 1 year younger than the others. Their incessant need to prank and immaturity makes them seem younger as well.

    I never realized that before.

     

    I do believe at one point Fluttershy said she was a year older than Pinkie Pie

  2. This is like breeding horses. At least from my viewpoint.

    You watch it's birth. You watch it grow up, hell you raise it yourself. You laugh with it, or you cry with it, or both and more. It's an intimate dance throughout a forest of emotions. You walk through your character's shoes. And that character teaches you something about life, even though it was your own character from your own imagination. It comes to life. It has a real impact on you.

    Some people could sell their character. I will admit, it's a wonderful thing to contribute to the story. The show is where the inspiration came from. And to see it come full circle, to see your own character living in the world it was meant to, that's something special. As long as the character remained true to itself, and grew at least within reason, I could let my character leave the nest. But it wouldn't be about the cash, or the recognition. It'd be about the character. The story. I could do that.

  3. If there is any chance that a live action movie will increase the fan base significantly, they will probably do it.

    I think the majority of fans here know that it wouldn't be very good. First of all, in order to make the ponies look good you would need lots of special effects. And then there's magic; more special effects. It would be a waste of time. An animated film would be so much more practical.

  4. This is feasible I think. If you think about elements from a spiritual/classical standpoint, you have Earth, Fire, Water, and Air (also sometimes Life or Nature, Emptiness, Sound, and Light) And if you think about the qualities the three primary races have, they are akin to some of the elements.

    For example, earth ponies possess qualities of the element of Earth, such as strength. Earth represents other qualities such as growth, prosperity, stability and foundations; the earth ponies and their ability to grow food for the other races quite makes them the foundation.

    Pegasus ponies represent Air. Qualities of Air include thinness and motion. Thinness can be related to the pegasus' grace or apparent lightness, as they can stand on clouds. And most pegasus ponies are fast and active, Wonderbolts for example. Pegasus ponies are usually in charge of the weather and skies.

    Fire is often seen as a creative element, centered around the concept of power. It is an element of change. So there is your unicorn magic. And even the negative quality of tyranny is seen when magic gets into the wrong hands. In Equestria, it is almost always magic of one nature or another which brings about lasting change.

    All that leaves is Water, from the classical view. Maybe there's some seahorses or something.

  5. Spike was Dragon Lord. He is the savior of the Crystal Empire. Twice. He was potentially the first person to propose that changelings can change. What else? Lots of little things, nonetheless important. Even in real life, we have examples of people who can go big but don't want to. Spike could have gone big, and didn't want to. The only thing he seems to want is friendship to spread. And it already is. So I think he does have his purpose, or is at least satisfied with how things are going.

  6. Well it was sort of a joke. Wehrmacht panzer crew would camouflage their tanks as hay bales. So essentially, by not being visible the hard part is out of the way. Drawing and detail on the hay bale would be watered down because it isn't the focus of the picture, even though it's the only thing you can see.

    And no, I am not a Sherman. I just have an.. "affinity" for Tigers..

  7. Fluttershy: "Kindness!"
    Pinkie: "Laughter!"
    Rainbow: "Loyalty!"
    Rarity: "Generosity!"
    Applejack: "Honesty!"

    "GO MAGIC!"

    Twilight: "By your elements combined, I am Major Magic!"

    Major Magic, she's our hero!
    Gonna take contempt down to zero,
    She's our friendship magnified,
    And she's fighting on Equestria's side!

     

    Major Magic, she's our hero,

    Gonna take contempt down to zero,

    Gonna help her put us under,

    Bad ponies who like to loot and plunder

     

    A voice that could pass for Discord: "You'll pay for this, Major Magic!"

     

    We're friends forever,

    You can be one too!

    'Cause spreading friendship is the thing to do,

    Fighting and quarreling is not the way,

    Hear what Major Magic has to say:

    "FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!"



    I'm not going to apologize for this. But let me know what you all could picture as a crossover, serious or not.

  8. Looks like Derpy is winning, not surprising though.
    Who even is Ace?

    I voted Minuette because I like her. Except for that one scene where there was three of her in one of Twilight's childhood memories, even though she was supposed to be one of Twilight's childhood friends yet she was a full adult. And there was three of her.

  9. 3284 pages and I can only advance three at a time. Instead of doing that, I'm going to post a comment, because I'm pretty sure, though not entirely positive, that it will jump to the last page so I can see who won!

    It looks like I can just click the button and jump to a page but it's too late. It's done!

  10. I can't agree that pansexuality is the same as bisexuality. It seems a lot of people identify gender with physical characteristics, and bisexuality with attraction to both "males" and "females" (any combination of genders is applicable, not exceeding numbering of two, hence 'bi') based on physical characteristics commonly attributed to those genders. There are people who have different physical characteristics from what traditional "males" and "females" would be considered to possess. Pansexuality is about finding attraction which does not stem from physical characteristics but from personal ones. There is the difference then, it only will exist separate so long as people consider gender a matter of the genitalia and such likenesses, as well as including societal expectations for genders. Should those disappear, then it is bisexuality that will no longer exist. Pansexuality is defined as "not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity" Therefore, you could say a pansexual person is bi in that they would choose at least two separate genders for a sexual relationship, but you cannot wholly define a pansexual person as bisexual. And you cannot validly say that a bisexual person is pansexual; it exceeds the limitations of bisexuality. There may only be a fine line of difference in your eyes but written law capitalizes such things and could determine if certain people are fairly defended by law or not.

  11. Well, considering the governmental forms all point to monarchy (I assume because of the target audience) I would say King/Queen is the right choice, the history of the Griffons considered. But as for who would be leader, it might be Gilda, if she's seen as the source or start of the fires of friendship (which I assume unite the Griffons "like never before") then they might make her leader. I believe that's how leaders are generally born is by uniting people. Of course there could be other Griffons not yet met that would make better candidates. I can't see it being Gabby but that might be simply because she doesn't have enough of an established history. But as someone else mentioned, they are Griffons and have for a long time kept to themselves and survived individually. So, even united, they might not need a leader. Then again, they are Griffons (irony) and there's bound to be some.. bartering issues.. and a legal system would alleviate those to an extent. But of course, the show's intended audience might not care, and so the writers just might never resolve the question.

  12. Is it canonically supposed to be an alternate universe where "all the ponies are human girls, same hearts and minds"?

    From what I've seen, it's just a different universe that just so happens to have a connecting gateway between itself and Equestria. Not all the characters are the same. I seem to recall someone on the staff saying they didn't just want to make mirror copies of all the Equestria ponies, so they made new ones. From a logical standpoint, that would mean it isn't a mirrored universe where everything is supposed to be the same. Of course, plot and canon proceed logic (a point I feel is strongly ignored by a multitude of fandoms)

    I agree with Twilight becoming corrupted by power because she did not have exposure to it beforehand, while Eq Twilight had always had a handle on things and a mentor for when she didn't. Twilight was downright manipulated into thinking she needed to win in order to get her.. recommendation? Or something. I don't remember what it was exactly. But Principal Queen B**** could probably push anyone over their limit, except maybe Fluttershy's parents but that's another topic.

  13. At first I saw Twilight running around in the show being Twilight and I was like "Whatever." Back then I liked Rainbow Dash the most (still like her but Twilight takes the cake for now). But now, I see Twilight and hear the name and it makes me think of a cool breeze on an early summer night under the stars, my second most ideal scene (there is nopony who associates with the first) I relate to her constant search for knowledge, even in unsuspected places. Something about her is elegant, despite how simple she's sometimes made out to be; regal even before princesshood.
    There are times when she seems very out of character though, as in No Second Prances. I don't like the idea of her being an ignorant German shower. But I guess we all have our moments. Still I love the Twilight Sparkle. She is -my- best pony.

  14. Also 21. I will admit I have tried weed. And though I've never been drunk, I have tried alcohol as well. They just aren't for me. I don't need them to feel happy or validated. I don't need to try being drunk either. I have been high, and it was a low feeling. I have been higher, elated from the joy of my own achievement alone. That's utility enough for me.

    ​It's nice to know I'm not the only person who can go without those things.

  15. Probably not doing anything special. Fiance is having a house party sort of thing. Parties aren't my flock of butterflies though. Might go see my grandparents cause it's been several months and my grandfather has had a lot of health problems recently, so I realize I might not have a lot of time. I'll probably just stay in, enjoy some of the excess candy, enjoy a cup of coffee, watch shows or play games. It's peace of mind. And that's what a holiday really means to me. I'm not dressing up. But I'll probably dress in a nice casual outfit or something. I don't need to impress anyone

  16. Too many seasons can be bad, especially if there's constant filler diversions (Naruto Shippuden is regal example); but in the cases of shows that don't really serve a central plot (slice of life stuff) it could potentially go on forever so long as you have the audiences attention with fresh material. There's a lot that can be done with a setting but it has to come out clean. It can't be all over the place like the salad bar on taco Tuesday. It's like a ho down. You have a little fun but you get tired after a while. Maybe take a break or switch partners. Sometimes shows switch to different audiences or try to change things up and keep the show alive; might as well be dead to the original audience. Maybe girls 6-12 wouldn't be so hurt if the show ended before the rest of us figure out what happened to the ponies in the years that followed. Some of us don't want to let the characters go, don't want the journey to end. An author knows that it has to at some point. Otherwise the characters and the memories suffer for it. A fine wine becomes watered down. That's just how it is. You can only really write about something you're passionate about without sacrificing quality immensely. Passion is fleeting. Fans would continue the story with their own tools until they are ready to close the book, but that wouldn't likely substitute. Ten writers can agree on a character's choices. A thousand writers cannot. A company in this day and age is usually satisfied with milking something past it's limit. Then they let it die as people lose interest. It's not really the company's loss. So I believe it comes down to two things: 1)Does Hasbro like the figures? 2)Are the writers passionate about this project?
    I think the company would be happy as long as the figures either increase or sustain, only decreasing would present a question of the value in keeping the project alive. And from the looks of it, the writers still enjoy their work. I personally have seen no decrease in the show's integrity from episode 1 to now, granted I am no critic and make no claims to omniscient intelligence (I realize I probably sound like I do sometimes). I think there will be at least another three seasons.

  17. There's a saying I'm sure everyone is familiar with. Something about "words can never hurt me."

    I prefer "words are wind" but the idea is the same. Words have no power over a human mind but what that particular mind accepts as truth. I feel, as a leader of a team, it is well of him to defend his coworkers, even though it was not necessarily necessary (say that five times fast). I don't believe there is any point to "casting pearls before swine," as it were, but if nothing else then it probably boosts the confidence of him and his team. I, for one, find the show regal and entertaining. Much more of a mature nature then what this race as a collective appears to consider so, but I'll leave that discussion to a wise lot. I really hope the show continues as it is for a while yet.
