    Could anypony here do Ascen Cross? http://mlpforums.com...scen-cross-r775 He has a somber, deep in thought type expression with a warm, gold healing spell wrapping around him and extending outwards from his horn like a bunch of needles. On the background, if you can, add potions and gold haphazardly placed.
  2. I mean that it's a bit of a turnoff. Yeah, it's prejudice but it's the same prejudice to me as the sense of not going near someone who has tattoos for fear of them being a gangster. It's wrong, but what are you going to do? Instinctive. As for Fluttershy, I'd be too careful because I'd shoot myself if she cried because of me.
  3. Not to be outdone by SonoftheNorthe, whom, might I add, is doing history a disservice with his Viking HORNED helmet, I'll make my list by pony. Rainbow Dash - She's too athletic and proud for me. She'll murder me every day by dragging me out to fly with her. Or if she doesn't, she'll murder me because I made a snide remark about her skills. Rarity - Aristocratic personality is the greatest turnoff ever. Besides, I literally cannot care about fashion less than I am. Really, so long as I'm clothed, at a comfortable temperature, and the clothing doesn't smell bad, I'm fine. I wear slightly baggy sweatpants to an awards ceremony every time unless they require me to wear something else. Rarity would hate me. Twilight Sparkle - Great pony. She's adorkable, awesome, and overall my favorite pony. Besides, she'd be a great intellectual discussion partner and a good rival in studies. Even though she'll probably beat me every time. Applejack - Nah. I don't have anything against Southern people but my father experienced quite a bit of racism in the south and I experienced racism from a guy in the south so that's a bit of a turnoff. I have southern friends though...but besides, Applejack has too many family members. Raises a few questions... Fluttershy - Being someone who wants to become a Biochemist...Fluttershy would be also a dream pony. Knowledge of medicinal herbs, knowledge of animals, and her personality is so adorable. Calm and shy but also has the ability to put her foot down...even if it means mind-raping me. WUB WUB WUB! Pinkie Pie - Maybe. She's really crazy and I only get crazy when I exhaust most of my energy (weird, right?), most of the time, I like quiet activities. But she can break the Fourth Wall, warp time and space, and do everything I ever wanted to do as a kid. Not to mention she can be so ADORABLE at times.
  4. This was the premise for a fan fic that I had yet to start. Humans are originally from Earth. They've advanced so much in technology that they can travel at 99.999% the speed of light and have harnessed the power of the Black Hole to instantaneously transport themselves to any point where humans have their black hole harnessing technology. So far, no intelligent life was found in the Orion Belt of the Milky Way. Although they advanced so much in technology, their need for domination, conquest, and curiosity is insatiable. Though Earth is at peace, a massive corporation called "Millennium Heights" plans a great expedition into the vast unknown, the owner sick of life in the Orion belt. So, with a random wormhole, the CEO and 100 colonists land on Equestria. Long story short, establishment of the human colony is a failure after Discord's reign destroys most of their computers (Models go screwy when cotton candy clouds rain down and the night and day cycle is random) and kills some of their colonists. The owner goes into a stasis pod and the colony is now a peculiar ruin with only the master computer and deactivated defense turrets left, the rest of the colonists die from an unknown virus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As for if the humans evolved in Equestria, humans would be ultra-advanced. Humans, we can all agree, are very intelligent creatures and humans have the capacity to exploit the land and resources. Ponies, from what we can see in the show, aren't as ambitious as humans. But humans have that tendency to want to dominate and be superior, like all Apex Predators. Either they would've realized that fighting the ponies was fruitless (Science vs. Magic) and lived in isolationist villages. Or they would've just left Equestria after being sufficiently advanced enough.
  5. Could you do Ascen Cross? http://mlpforums.com...scen-cross-r775 Just a simple request: He has a kind of somber, deep thought expression. If you can, a healing spell glowing around his horn.
  6. Hub, at least the shareholders, know how much money the brony fandom makes. We raised millions of dollars within a year of existing. We have high traffic websites, the most prominent of which has a view count of 2/3 the entire U.S population. Many of us buy the toys or in some way, support Hub. I'm not a pessimist. But I'm definitely no optimist either. It's numbers. The brony fandom is so deeply rooted in the western world that we're subculture. A meme that lasted a year with no signs of death. And besides, most shows with Lauren Faust behind them are both incredibly successful and lasts at least five years. From numbers alone, Friendship is Magic was far more successful than the other shows Lauren worked on. And considering how much of an impact Powerpuff Girls and Fosters have made on late 90s and early 2000s childhood, Friendship is Magic will last at least another five years. Remember, Hub is a company. And their shareholders want money. The logical thing to do is milk FiM until it can't be milked anymore. Sad, but that's the most likely course. But if FiM will end, they better end it with a giant, two hour extravagant awesome epic super movie that will leave a lasting impact for second decade of the 21st century. Make it define the 2010s in terms of animation.
  7. Agnostic. I was raised with a Christian mother and an atheist father. I lost my "faith" in a higher power a long time ago after realizing the fact that the room for god in a scientific world is none. But a scientific world has proven its merit and its ability to create models with astounding predictive capabilities. After all, it is science that created the machines used to create My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Though considering the rise of String Theory, the fact that we don't even know 1% of the knowledge in the Universe, and probability, I'm agnostic. The idea that one god is true out of the thousands of gods of cultures all around the word is absurd, number wise. But again, number wise, the probability of there being some sort of higher power is greater than zero.
  8. For my ranking, It's as follows: 1. Twilight Sparkle 2. Fluttershy 3. Pinkie Pie 4. Dashie 5. Applejack 6. Rarity However, the most popular are the two Pegasi, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. I personally love Twilight Sparkle...she reminds me of myself from a few years ago.
  9. Because it was a show for little girls and a show for little girls immediately conjures up images of tea parties, hearts, rainbows, and such. G1 delivered on that but it was actually far darker (not saying much) than one might first expect. Especially in the movies. It was still light hearted and happy most of the time though. G2 was definitely a marketing idea gone wrong. G2 focused more on teenager problems and it makes sense. Most girls who were fans of MLP in the '80s were teenagers. Though it was just about boys and girl problems. I get enough of that crap on Facebook. G3 was transition. G3.5...the fires of hell hath no fury like mine G4 not only had a brilliant animator, Lauren Faust, on board but also had a very eye catching art style. It's like Powerpuff Girls if it were made in 2012. I think part of My Little Pony FiM's success is the concentration of crappy cartoons everywhere. Hasbro probably didn't think of this but for a show with one of the greatest animators of the 21st century and a great team of people to be released is past 2010. In conclusion, MLP in the beginning did what it set out to do. Appease to little girls. G2 was trying to appeal to the same demographic of little girls and it may seem like a sound idea but it was too heavy on the drama aspect. Saved by the Bell did it better...and I hated that show. G3 was again, transition. Personally, I don't count it as anything other than transition. Important but not something one remembers. G3.5...
  10. Could you do Ascen Cross? http://mlpforums.com...scen-cross-r775 I would like for him to wrap himself with a warm color healing spell with coins and potions floating behind him. For the potions: http://modsreloaded....sjdqk0g42mi.jpg Coins can just be the bits from the show. Maybe add something else that might represent his background if you want.
  11. Ascen Cross
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hw1b5b2pJ0 But for real, I want an ending where Equestria's on the brink of collapse from some invasion (maybe creatures corrupted by whatever corrupted Luna) or natural disaster. An hour and a half special where the Mane 6 rush to try and combat the disaster or invading force. Along the way, the Mane 6 breaks apart. So if it was an invasion from another kingdom, Rainbow Dash might think to fight them outright while Rarity wants diplomacy and they split off that way. Or if it was a natural disaster, Fluttershy wants to spend resources evacuating the animals while another pony wants to cut their losses and just go. Then they get together and beat back the threat. With a moral that says, "Friendship and love can hold together the closest of friends and the biggest of countries." With a bittersweet ending. The Mane 6 leave behind the Elements of Harmony for the next generation and go off to live their lives as normal ponies. Final scenes would be what happened to the Mane Six from after they split up to when they're old.
  13. Here's my idea for the Season 3 Premiere: The villain already takes control of Equestria. So the start isn't Princess Celestia saying, "Fight this guy and keep Equestria safe." The start is the villain announcing, "So...I've taken Equestria and you're all my slaves. Have fun working at the mines...because you're slaves." Rebellion fun, Celestia and Luna are captured, character development under extreme pressure, internal strife, and Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie with the evil guards.
  14. Morale. Everypony who isn't anti-social seems to love her parties in moderation. So morale. Happy slaves workers work better than abused slaves workers.
  15. I'd definitely use my knowledge of past military history and strategy to lead a small band of my closest friends and fortify a school. Considering that if we're saying that the Miami thing is a zombie apocalypse, I'd be somewhat safe as we live about 45 minute drive from an airport and (for me) live about half an hour drive by express bus to the largest city near me. Most likely pledge to be an adviser to a really popular kid at my school, who is terrible at anything that has to do with using his brain. Or I'd just get my closest friends, their families, and run. Then I'd be a bandit king and then die from cholera.
  16. Diamond Tiara is FAR worse! Trixie, no matter how you look at it, she's poor. She lives in a wagon and goes around performing. I feel like she had some terrible tragedy and is trying to make herself feel better by bragging and getting attention. Diamond Tiara, you KNOW why she's like she is. There's no great tragedy. Her father's fairly nice and she's been handed everything as a child. Not saying that's bad (if I knew 100% my child wouldn't turn out bad, I'd give them everything) but the result of that was bad.
  17. My inner fun time and brony: CHEESE...FOR EVERYONE!!! Bronies get a 60% discount on ALL CHEESE after passing a state brony test. Haters are re-educated and Friendship is Magic is integrated into social science classes and all historical reference episodes are used in Civics classes. My analyzing leader type Type of Government: Constitutional Totalitarianism (I create a constitution and every dictator after me must follow it, enforced by a small group called the "Ring" that I create with my closest friends and their children inherit positions in the Ring) Type of Economy: Capitalism with socialist principles when it comes to human necessity Type of Social System: True Meritocracy with Egalitarian principles amongst all social classes Domestic Policies: - Freedom of Speech (all complaints towards the government must be legitimate and well thought out. Simply saying that democracy is good and dictatorship is bad with no legitimate reason will result in summary execution) - Freedom of Action except when it restricts the freedom of others - Freedom of Press - Welfare will not exist. Instead, a rehabilitation program will exist to put unemployed people in jobs. - Taxation of the rich will be 50% of all income, provided they gained their wealth through merit and not exploitation. Taxation of the poor will be 10%. Everything in between will be mathematically calculated. - 420 Legalized - Abortion legalized - Freedom of Religion and Freedom from Religion. All religious institutions that prevent scientific advancement with no logical reason will be slapped with 100% of all income being taxed until they relent and apologize or go bankrupt. - Education, Art, Music, and Science put on high priority. - Military is the highest priority, just above science. Military power regulated heavily by dictator and the Ring. - All social classes required to get the same high quality education. - Wealth and class based on how much you can provide to either the government, community, humanity, or all of the above. Foreign Policy: - Respect the sovereignty of other nations. If a revolution goes on and they themselves don't ask for help, we're not helping no matter how much the U.N wants us to. - All dealings with nations will be neutral and unbiased. Help in wars will be limited to justifications of the nations in question - Geneva Convention is in my toilet right now. If another nation attacks us for resources or because they think they're crusaders of justice, every single combatant on their side is getting bubonic plagued. - If another nation sent a terrorist or spy and killed our civilians, we'll kill 10x as many of their civilians. - Depending on the reason for war, prisoners will either be treated well or crucified. If a war is our fault, we'll bear the responsibility for the aftermath and treat their prisoners with some kindness. If a war is their fault, we'll be neutral and slightly hostile. If a war kills many of our civilians and it's their fault, break out the wood and nails.
  18. Having the same name as a regular roleplayer with 2 at the end.
  19. Me and my friend, who love political debates, debated whether or not Romney was secretly a robot alien.
  20. Known for having a flashy avatar. I've seen you a few times with that avatar that makes me jealous.
  21. Late August or early September. Just like Season 2. Of course, if they're trying harder than they have been to sate the appetites of the brony fandom, the most active and largest fandom of the MLP fanbase, I'd put the release at early October. Or if there's a movie...SQUEE!!
  22. Over analyzing is my job! To answer the OP: Rainbow Dash seems to be the Chief Weather Pegasus for Ponyville, as seen with how she was the one who organized the tornado in, "Hurricane Fluttershy." Not to mention she's one of the best flyers in Ponyville so everything weather related would have gone to her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's my over-analysis. Equestria and the Royal Family endorses the Caste System. Have you noticed that Canterlot is the most prestigious city where all commerce, government, and military is located? But Canterlot is a Unicorn city. Earth Ponies who work there are discriminated against, as seen with Rarity's encounter with the window washer. Not to mention that being a window washer is a pretty low class job. So the Unicorns are the upper class, the 1% as we say now a days. This is further supported in the Pony Tribes episode where they live in giant castles like traditional European noblemen. Pegasi clear the weather and during the time of the three Pony Tribes, they were the Warrior class, heavily militarized and drawing from how we see Greek and Roman culture. Both cultures emphasized heavily on military endeavors. Not to mention that almost all of the Royal Guards are Pegasi. Cloudsdale itself is also a very industrial place, producing all types of weather in giant industrial factories. Considering Equestria's military force is limited to the Royal Guards, the Warrior class is now the industrial working class. Earth Ponies live on the ground and in more rural environments. In the Pony Tribes period, they looked incredibly poor, living in hay shacks reminiscent of Asia and Europe's peasant houses. Not to mention they were the peasant class, living in a feudal system where they had to surrender food to the Warrior and Noble class (Pegasi and Unicorns). Now, they live in places like Appleloosa, obvious note to the American Frontier. Many of those who came to America were poor Irishmen and Englishmen who heard of a place where they were practically giving land. Still, their magical affinity is all about growing food...the farming class. "But Filthy Rich is an Earth Pony!" Some might say. Yeah, and the business class was discriminated and considered incredibly low in social status. All they have is money, not class in a caste system. Merchants and the like were considered low in the Hindu caste system, the Korean, and to an extent, Europe as well. In almost all cases, they could buy their way to nobility but nobody truly recognized them as a noble by blood.
  23. So anypony here a fan of Poets of the Fall? AKA The Greatest Band of All Time? If so, post your favorite songs and discuss here. If not, here's one of their most famous songs for you to get started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKk1u5RMTn4&feature=relmfu
