Dear Princess Twilight, What do you think of Friendship Is Magic being over? Personally, I found the conclusion of your on-screen adventures sad, as following you and your friends' adventures has given me so much fun and emotion over the last nine seasons. But at the same time, I was glad to see your friendship stayed strong, in spite of all the changes that happened. I wish all of you many more amazing adventures and friendships! You deserve it!

general media Are Comic a valid form of literature?
Tacodidra replied to TheAnimationFanatic's topic in Media Discussion
I don't see why not. Comics can tell stories that are every bit as good as other literature. Just with some amazing illustrations included alongside them. I feel the exclusion of comics in this regard is similar to how some people perceive animation in comparison to live-action films. They view it as something for children and thus shun it (ignoring that not all of it is for kids, and that content made for children can still appeal to everyone). -
Happy birthday, my friend!
May the stars shine bright for you!

Thank you, @Tacodidra

Amenable List of Banned Clichés
Tacodidra commented on Stone Cold Steve Jobs's blog entry in We Talk, We Write
I agree especially on this one. The worst way to end a story – always disappointing and lazy, sometimes also an excuse for other ridiculous choices by the writer... -
It would have been nice to see at least something about Spike's backstory. Also, some of the side characters returning (especially Coco!), otherwise I didn't really feel much was missing. -
As much as I liked some of the other characters too, I'll have to go with Tempest. A character with a great design, the most interesting backstory of the new characters, and an excellent voice performance by Emily Blunt (not to mention one of the best songs in the movie) – a pretty easy choice for me. Out of the others, the Storm King stood out by being one of the funniest villains in MLP, and I also liked Capper. -
I found MLP thanks to Pinkie Pie herself She is so much fun! As for best pony My choice would be Rarity Simply fabulous! Best background pony? The lovely Strawberry Scoop Hooray for ice cream! And Coco Pommel also deserves a haiku She is amazing! And last but not least These haiku would not exist without Kettle Corn!

My pick definitely has to be The Cutie Mark Crusaders Song (from "The Show Stoppers"). I've seen it listed quite often as one of the worst songs in the series, but it's always been one of my personal favorites. First of all, it's very catchy. Secondly, it's quite a unique song in FIM with its clear 80s influences, as well as being the first rock song in the series. The lyrics are no less meaningful than many other songs in the series (recounting the CMCs' story). The thing that seems to bother many people about it is obviously the vocals. While Scootaloo's singing is (intentionally) quite rough at times, I never found it that bad – apart from the scream at the end and maybe a couple of other parts, I think they're fitting for the song and its style. And most importantly, they're so Scootaloo – you can just hear the attitude and that she's giving her all, technically perfect or not! So to put it briefly, while the song has its flaws, somehow they don't manage to ruin the good parts of it, and actually make it quite sympathetic in its own right! Add the nostalgia from my early brony days (even if they weren't that long ago), and I can't help but love it!

Later essentially confirmed by the director of the special. -
I generally go with the original voices, if at all possible. With MLP, for example, I can't stand the Finnish dub at all (though I don't need subtitles either for shows with English audio). With live-action, dubs are a definite no for me because of the terrible lip sync. As for anime (where this debate seems to be the most common), it's not something I watch much, but I see no reason why I wouldn't choose the original audio there as well.

general What generation are you a part of?
Tacodidra replied to JeyWiz's topic in General Discussion
Generation O! In all seriousness, I'm part of Generation Y (still the term I prefer, for some reason the word "millennial" has always sounded silly to me). As for believing in the concept, I do think there's some reality to it – people born around the same time tend to have some experiences other generations might not have. But at the same time, it can be a bit artificial. Going by the definitions you listed (sometimes they can be slightly different), I still think a person born in 1996 would have more in common with one born in 1997 than 1981, in spite of the latter being part of the same generation and the former not. -
*sees your post in the 8 Years and counting thread* You're welcome, my friend!
*hugs*
And as for making one's forum experience special and memorable, you have definitely done that for me (and undoubtedly many others too).
These forums would be a lot less fun without you here!
Your name may refer to Twilight, but you remind me of Pinkie in that regard.
-
Thanks for the mention in the "8 Years and counting" thread, my friend!
*hugs*
Making a short list of my best friends in the community would be extremely difficult (I'd probably end up omitting people who definitely should be there) so I haven't really tried to... I'll just say you'd definitely be on that hypothetical list!
Thanks once again!

Rara's a batpony now?
Cool name and avatar – especially the cutie mark is a nice touch! 
I must admit it took me a second to realize you weren't a new user visiting my profile!
The tradition of Nightmare Night names lives on!

Happy birthday, my friend!
I hope your day is an awesome one!
-
@ShadOBabe TheRockATrice? I voted for The Beast King myself. Hard to say why, but it's the most Nightmare Night-esque one to me.

Anyone else sometimes bite/chew their pen or pencil?
Tacodidra replied to Outnick's topic in General Discussion
I used to do that a lot as a kid (just with pencils, not with pens). At some point, I stopped doing it, though. Nowadays, I couldn't imagine doing that at all – I'd find it disgusting.

I hope it's a fun one! 
It has been a pleasure speaking with you in the past year or so, so it would be an utter disservice to leave you off of such a list.
