  1. hi everyone! hope all is well. I've been gone the past week since both me and my partner got sick :awwthanks: not covid thankfully, but it was a bit of a nasty headcold. Thankfully we're feeling better, I've still got a runny nose and a cough but still much better than it could be

    this is so cute, thank you so much!!
  3. At the start of the series, I would put the Mane 6 at: Twilight- 18 Rarity- 21 Rainbow Dash - 17 Fluttershy- 20 Pinkie- 19 AJ- 19 And the CMC at about 5 years. Twilight being 18 makes it fitting for her to continue her studies at what I have to assume is about college-leveled, and the CMC just seem to be young elementary-age to me lol. Then towards the end, when they all have careers basically but before the final episode, I'd day: Twilight - 28 Rarity - 31 Rainbow Dash - 27 Fluttershy- 30 Pinkie - 29 AJ- 29 And the CMC as 15ish. I think a 10-year span is fair enough for how the show progressed Honestly a bit of a lowball, considering Twilight becomes crown ruler of equestria after running a school (and the rest of the 6 being professors, essentially), RD is a full-fledged wonderbolt, Fluttershy builds and owns her own sanctuary, Rarity is expanding her boutique to multiple cities... and then Pinkie and AJ kinda doing the same thing as before, but still. Loads of character growth. I'd also assume the CMC are at least young teens when they basically start running a counseling service. That's just my interpretation, though As for Spike.... I guess he goes from Baby Dragon to preteen dragon? I mean, he technically goes through puberty. but he's still tiny lol, so I'll just say he goes from 7 ish to 13 ish, since dragons age slower

  5. Welcome (back, haha)! I love your ponysona
  6. I haven't seen any posts about this on here yet, so I figured I'd make one! If you guys remember the Pop Mart Natural Series figures from last year- they've come out with some new ones that seem to be available on the 28th of this month! It seems they've reused one of the Dash models for this new series, but she looks just as cute. Cadance appears to be the new chaser variant as well, replacing Celestia! Here's the EqD article on them: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/new-my-little-pony-pop-mart-series-2.html What are everyone's favorites? I definitely need Twilight with the coffee and sugar cubes
  7. Favorite: Friendship is Magic parts 1 and 2. The first two episodes of the entire show; I always find myself going back to the first episodes of the series when I'm feeling down or just want to see the ponies again Underrated: May the Best Pet Win. Or Hurricane Fluttershy. There are certainly other underrated episodes out there, but these are just the first two that come to mind. I think there's a fantastic dynamic between RD and Fluttershy in both episodes, and the ponies make huge improvements to their character in both of them! I think they're just very sweet episodes as well. Overrated: This one's really hard! I don't think there's any episodes out there that I think people over-praise. Everyone has different things in the show that they like and I'm totally ok with that. If I had to pick one though, I think it'd be the season 4 premier episodes "Princess Twilight Sparkle" since... pretty much nothing happens lol. I guess I don't really see the point of the ponies giving up their elements? And then it's like they don't even need them in the season 4 finale ( I really like the finally though, as a kaiju movie lover I loved the fight scenes haha). That or the season 6 premier episodes "The Crystalling." Again, nothing really happened. Also don't really care for Flurry Heart I liked Starlight's friendship lesson in seeing Sunburst for the first time in years though! That's a good one Hated: I do not like "Non-Compete Clause" or "The Mean 6." AJ and RD are childish and frustrating the entire episode in NCC, and they endanger the lives of their students. Twilight isn't nearly as angry about it as she should've been honestly. I mean, they learned the competing lesson way back in season ONE in "Fall Weather Friends." And then in The Mean Six. We get an episode of a bunch of miscommunication and in the end they don't even learn that there were fake copies of them. They just accept the fact that their friends were horrible to each other and move on; not even stress from a camping trip can cause that, and trust me, I know well enough about those. And then Chrysalis just kinda leaves. Before Season 9 came out when I watched this episode, and we didn't know Chrysalis was coming back in season 9, I was actually mad. A major villain returns and the Mane 6 don't even interact with her? And then she just leaves? The writing for the dialogue was also just... bleh. Not great. None of the dialogue felt natural, and the mean 6 were just cartoonishly bad (yes, I know MLP:FIM is a cartoon, still). All around just not a good episode, in my opinion.
  8. I wouldn't say it ever went through season rot, but the show definitely had its dips in quality. At least writing-wise (the animation improved with every season, which I always enjoyed). I actually completely stopped watching the series from seasons 5-7, save for a couple special ones. Then when I started keeping up a bit more in season 8, for the first time in the history of watching the show, I actually thought a couple episodes were bad. That's purely opinion though I think the main issue was that the Mane 6 were kind of having to re-learn friendship lessons, or failing to remember old ones (cough, Non-Compete Clause). Friendship is an incredibly complex subject, but there are only so many lessons to give in a children's show. To fix this, it seems like they started focusing more on the student 6, but then we were left with the issue of the Mane 6 being literal friendship teachers and STILL failing to remember their own lessons or not act childish and endanger their own students (again, Non-Compete Clause). In the end, I think the show ended on a high note. There definitely would've been a struggle if they'd continued for a couple more seasons, and you could tell it was slipping a bit by season 7-8 (that doesn't mean they were bad seasons, just that there wasn't a clear "goal" for the characters to actually be striving for by then).
  9. I thought they were gonna completely leave G4 behind judging by past generations not involving the previous one story-wise (save for a couple references in G4), so I was honestly surprised to see the Mane 6 in G5 at first. I like that it's a progression of the story though The merch with Sunny and Twilight together and the references to King Sombra certainly throw me off though. Not really sure how that's gonna get panned out? Surely they wouldn't combine the two generations Regardless, I don't think they're ever gonna bring back G4. Which is a good thing; it had its run, and had a solid ending. No need to try to revive it, I think it's a very well-rounded story that should be left as-is
  10. While I thoroughly enjoy alicorn twilight (having started the show when season 2 premiered, I had been personally wanting twi to become an alicorn as I thought it would be a nice finale to her studies) However... that's not to say I enjoy how it was executed it definitely felt rushed. Not only was season 3 only 13 episodes, but the finale was also only one episode, with the episode being mostly made up of songs with little real plot development. For being what it is, the finale episode was pretty simple and almost anticlimactic if Twi hadn't earned her wings in the end; kinda like that two-parter (don't remember which season) where the everfree forest vines took over. still, in the end i was super excited and happy about it. i definitely remember the hardcore bronies being super upset though Personally I just think they should've put it off a little more. I'd say maybe at the end of season 5? then we'd have season 6 of her getting used to it, season 7 finding her place as a princess, season 8 living to her full princess potential, and season 9 getting prepared to take over all of equestria. As opposed to her adjusting in season 4, finding her place in season 5, and then... just kind of existing until season 9 with (in my opinion) half-hearted efforts to make new plot points in the seasons (read; friendship school and the student 6. i like the metaphor with them, but still.) that's just my two bits on the topic
  11. I'm gonna say his cutie mark is a golden crown ^^
  12. I think I remember her and Pip maybe signing autographs, so maybe that's a hoof stamp they left on the model for it?
  13. I ordered some fabric that came in yesterday.... gonna be attempting to make a plushie of Bubble Tea :catface:

  14. I think it'd be really fun to meet up with friends I've met on forums, but I've also got social anxiety and get really nervous talking to people online, let alone in person :lie: though I do live outside the US capital, so i'm sure there'd be plenty of other mlp fans to meet

      I hope you can relax and enjoy yourself :3

  18. If you're up for it- I would love to see Bubble Tea in your style! She doesn't have a cutie mark, so you don't need to worry about drawing one c: Your art in this thread is gorgeous, by the way! If you have an art page anywhere, I would love to follow it!
  19. my boyfriend got me a huge mlp trading card box for hannukah! there's soooo many cool cards in there, I'm really excited to learn how to play it. probably going to run a rainbow dash deck as I pulled a couple cloudchasers (my favorite pony) as well as a couple fun RD-themed event cards and got nightmare moon as a mane character card for the deck, who's RD aligned as well

  20. wish me luck.... got a mess of a week do deal with :scoots: unsent paycheck, rent due, cat vet visit, 3rd doctor visit for me...

    but hey, hannukah started today! so happy hannukah so anyone else who's celebrating!:pistachio:

      @ExplosionMare at least I'm not alone then :awwthanks: writing my own stories seems to satisfy it, but there's always some fun in creating a story with someone else

      It is fun to see what others come up with and how their writing styles are :) 

  22. they actually had them!:kirin: I grabbed myself one of the "friends of equestria" sets so I can finally add the G4.5 Minty to my Minty collection, and it was even on sale so I got all of them for $15! Now all I need is the G4 and G1 :squee: I've got 2 different G3's, but I don't feel the need to collect *all* of those since there's a lot. and I really don't care for G3.5 so I won't be getting any of those :lie:

    If you've got an Ollie's nearby, I recommend checking them out real soon! This was the first day they had all the new stuff on sale so it'll probably go quickly. They also had G4 binders for card collecting and the Twister G1 figure

  23. I got a mail ad for Ollie's today and apparently they've got the friends of equestria set for only $15. definitely sounds like something they *wouldn't* have in stock in the one near me, but it's worth a shot to look. That's the set that has Minty in it, and I've really been wanting the g4 minty toys for years:awwthanks: plus $15 would be way cheaper than just buying the single online, since she's the only one I really want in the set and I'd just resell the rest
