  1. Tron: Legacy. I just got HBO/Max/Show/Starz channels and have been watching a ton of movies this weekend
  2. The society in MLP is based off western human societies. But with all the differences ponies have from humans, what logical quirks (for humans) would ponies have? Here are some facts that are in the show, or things that would probably be true, considering what the show gives us or the nature of ponies themselves. Cutie Marks: Having a magical icon, wherever on the body it is, that shows your special talent in life would have a HUGE effect on society. The cutie mark would have a huge effect on first impressions, and an adult without one would never be taken seriously. Also, the effect on job applications... Clothing: Since ponies don't wear clothes except to formal occasions (accessories don't seem to count), clothing in a casual occasion (unless it's cold) could be seen as erotic. Equestria would have "clothers" instead of strippers . Also, unless necessary clothing will probably keep the flank naked, to show the cutie mark. Violence: As herbivores, I'm pretty sure violence will be a lot more taboo than with humans, since they didn't evolve with the need to kill. Attractiveness: Male ponies have a big snout and no eyelashes, while females have small snouts and big eyelashes. Therefore those traits could be seen as attractive. So humans will be a lot better looking to male ponies than female ponies. Emotions: With the ears and tail showing emotion and a lack of eyebrows and (probably) less emotional cheeks, humans would probably be seen as unemotional beings to a pony. Telling each other apart: ponies probably differentiate themselves via fur color, mane color and shape, cutie mark, snout, eye color (they have huge eyes), race, and in the rare case (such as in Bic Macintosh) muscle build. Since humans mostly differentiate each other via the face, and we don't have skin and mane colors of every color under the sun and our mouths are built mostly the same, we would probably all look alike to ponies. You ponies are all racist! Any other things that would differ between ponies and humans that I didn't list?
  3. Hearts and Hooves Day has a death. Any my fanfiction will have deaths, as I wouldn't be able to carry out my story without it. Also, I prefer fanfictions that make Equestria more realistic than a G-rated universe. Thanks for the tips everypony, I feel more confident about writing this
  4. So I have an idea for a fanfiction (it's an adventure story). It'll be my first fanfiction (actually, first major writing project) and I'm not entirely sure how to do things. I'm going to writing everything at once, then publish it because I don't think I'll be able to publish every chapter once I finish it. So far I have written down my OCs, the goals in the story, the overall plot, a list of what I have planned for each chapter, and a cheatsheet for writing in general. I'm still working on how some specific events will go, and how to make sure my phlebotinum isn't immediately obvious. But my question is: am I doing it wrong? Is there a better way to plan and write the story than what I am/will be doing?
  5. Nothing wrong with 10.6, IMO 10.6>10.8 is the best way to upgrade, as 10.8 is adding individual window viewing in Mission Control. Only problem with 10.6 is the lack of XCode 4. http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/features.htmlThat's the main features of 10.8. Personally, besides the fact that non-App store apps are disabled in the default setup, I think a really good update.
  6. If it's going to be next year then you might as well get Mountain Lion. More features, better iOS integration (if you have an iOS device), etc...
  7. Linux has a thread, so the best OS should have one too! Got any cool tricks for OS X? Are you getting 10.8 when it comes out? Anything else you want to discuss? Confused, or wanting to switch and have questions? Post them here! Mac hardware counts too, since (legally) OS X can only be run on the Mac lineup.
  8. But what if there's absolutely nothing after death, a cessation of existence? Not the best thing to look forward to. And if Heaven and Hell is real, what if I end up at the fiery one? I'd rather have the a cessation of existence.
  9. Tried 2 live CDs about a year ago (1 was Ubuntu, another one was Mint I think, I remember that Firefox was not the default browser) and I'm not switching anytime soon. It lacks too many apps, and the UI doesn't feel as "crisp" as OS X. And it wastes vertical space, as it has a Windows taskbar, an OS X menubar without as many features, and a window-specific menu bar (I know the UI was refreshed since then, still feel it wastes space). Not to mention that the 2 Linux distros only could use my Ethernet port not the WiFi card, so I had to go without internet the entire time.
  10. All of Celestias guards are monochrome (white for pegasi, gray for unicorns). Lunas unicorn guards are also monochrome, a darker grey than Celestias unicorns. They're probably enchanted to look alike, comes with the helmet.
  11. Blossomforth. No, just... no. Bright purple on green hurts the eyes, and being on white just makes it worse.
  12. Spiders (not arachnophobia levels though) and lifting up my computer (my Macbooks hard drive already destroyed itself 3 times, I haven't lifted it since it was repaired and don't plan to till I get a new non-plastic Macbook). But my biggest fear is (my) death. I can't keep thinking about it for more than a minute or so or I get depressed.
  13. Rainbow Dash is the best pony. RBDash is a good abbreviation to her name.
  14. Pretty much the same ideas as in the Season 3 Wishlist thread. One of the CMC getting a cutie mark, a body-switching episode, and a history episode on the defeat of Discord, how Celestia and Luna became alicorns, the rise of NMM and the destruction of Everfree (I want a history episode SO BAD!). These were already said before (several times), but they are must-haves for S3. Others: A vampony episode and an episode where the Mane 6 are sent to another country as ambassadors, preferably the Zebra country, where they make a mess. Episode also reveals more about how being the avatars of the EOH affects them. An episode about loss (I mean, how many more aesops are there to be learned?) with the death of Granny Smith can also be, but it's too mature for MLP. And my dream finale (which is probably too mature for MLP, no matter how much it's toned down): The 4 ponies of apocalypse (which happen to be the 4 stars that freed NMM) arrive in Equestria, bringing the end of the world (preferably they arrive in an epic way at the end of the episode before the 2 parter, to give an epic cliffhanger). The EOH+Celestia+Luna are not enough to defeat them. At the end, before everything's destroyed, the Mane 6 turn everypony into Cadence-tier alicorns forever (more powerful than a unicorn with the magic of all 3 races, but not immortal star-moving pony gods), except for the Mane 6, who as avatars of the EOH are turned into princess-tier alicorns. The combined might of Equestria+EOH+Mane 6+Princesses is finally enough, saving Equestria. The season finale would be epic and Equestria will have equality between everypony. The Mane 6 could also free Discord to try to defeat them (offering Equestria to him if he wins), but he loses. He could even become a good guy by the end.
  15. Cadance (her mane!), Star Swirl (G4), and Rainbow Dash (she matches EVERYTHING!) IMO have the best color schemes. Also, while Celestia in the show might not be that great, Celestias mane in this art is awesome.
  16. http://speccysy.deviantart.com/art/Ask-FS-and-PP-Christmas-273089988 http://speccysy.deviantart.com/art/Tumblr-Hearts-and-Hooves-Day-284991149 I probably have a few more cute MLP pictures, but I just checked my Twilight, Fluttershy, and Comics sub-folders (because they have highest chance of coming upon a cute picture.
  17. http://cl.ly/3I3s0E0v0s343Y402X1j Just got a new desktop, new dock background, flurry icons, and (not visible) an OS X Lion theme and reverse scrolling app to get myself ready for my eventual move to (Mountain) Lion.
  18. There is one problem with the theory that Celestia and Luna will start/starged aging, now that the Mane 6 are the avatars of the EOH. If that were to be, wouldn't Luna not regain her power after losing it when becoming herself at the end of S1E2?
  19. S1E1 and S1E2. I read before watching that the first 2 episodes weren't the best, but I needed to watch the intro so I wasn't totally lost. Second episode was Lesson Zero, because I read EVERYWHERE about how good it was. Next thing I know, I watch every episode until Family Appreciation Day (because it didn't premiere yet).
  20. Probably would be when I was 8 or 9, when I was leaving the house (I was in southern California at the time) I saw a mountain lion and her (at least I guess it was a she) cub right across the driveway. The mountain lion stayed there, looking at me, until my parents arrived. Was really scary at the time, thought it might eat me. Probably had some creepier moments before, but I can't remember any.
  21. Mid-2007 Macbook 2,1 Black 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo Merom. 1.5GB 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. Intel HD 3000 w/ 64MB DDR2 GRAM. 13" 1280x800 resolution. 160GB 5400rpm HDD. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
  22. Here's my personal headcannon: Celestia and Luna, just like the Mane 6, were not born as alicorns but as regular ponies (I place my bet on unicorns). They became immortal alicorns shortly after using the EOH on Discord. With their new powers they decided to take on the responsibility of the day and night from other unicorns. As for how old they are, I would say at least 1100+. There would need to be enough time for Luna to start thinking the night as "hers", and then getting offended at everypony sleeping at dark. So at least a regular ponies lifetime before she went NMM. Luna was normal pony size after having NMM stripped from her, due to her lack of magic, which within a year returned fully to her, hence the star mane and bigger size. Either that or it's just a spell to make them look regal. Now my theory on Cadence: since she (and Blueblood as well) are referred to being Celestias neice and nephew. They are the descendants of one of Lunas foals before she was banished. The children of Celestia and Luna are born alicorns, but they don't have the supercharged abilities of the 3 races and have a normal lifespan. Eventually over time they start becoming single-race, so Blueblood lost his alicorn-ness but Cadences line still has it. Celestia refers them as Prince and Princess, because they're descendants of the royals and Equestria doesn't have good royal terminology. Now for the Mane 6. They can become an alicorn with this theory, and Celestia and Luna might start losing their powers due to their lack of connection to the EOH. New royalty coming soon to Equestria?
  23. I was baptised and raised a Catholic, and I see no reason to change.

  25. I've just Rainboomed into these forums, and say hello (fail attempt at making a unique into)
