That my Sith Warrior OC needs to enter the Onslaught expansion and talk to the new Dark Council

Six minute video. Could have easily been condensed to 30 seconds.

I think one reason I love G5 of MLP as much as I do is because I started with everyone else instead of a couple of weeks before the finale of FiM's third season. 

I was part of something new and exciting with all of you with G5 which, is something I didn't get to experience the same way with FiM in October 2010.

I had this thought yesterday,

if Friendship is Magic ended after Season 3 that would mean The Cutie Mark Crusaders wouldn't earn their cutie marks.

Ooo, interesting thought. Technically they would get them, but what would they be? There were lots of theories about what their cutie marks would be before they officially got them, usually relating to their talent:
Sweetie Belle - Singing/Music Composition
Scootaloo - Stunt/Dance Performance
Apple Bloom - Set/Costume Design/DIY construction
These were hinted as their talents back in Season 1 Episode 18, "The Show Stoppers", but each of them chose to do what wasn't their obvious talent (Scoot: singing. AB: dance/performance. SB: set/costume design)

I unironically use this to make some videos 3-4 times speed: Video Speed Controller (Firefox)  Video Speed Controller (Chrome)

I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds by responding to some of these. If I need to hush please do tell me!

 

As for what I'm thinking about, mainly thinking about how to make and maintain new friends on here, and how the RP I'll be hosting is going to go

 

[Snow 7,005]

Thinking about how cool though expensive it would be to buy a small plane to fly around in, visit friends and family and the like

I think those are all great suggestions.

I meant in the sense that the people watching wouldn't get to see the CMC's earn their cutie marks since that episode didn't exist in any of those three seasons.

That alleviates it to an extent. But I remember how videos from, say, 15 years ago were far more direct and concise compared to now. Perhaps a consequence of Youtube changing monetization from being based on view count to watch time.

Also, somehow, in your post, your quoting of my complaint about highly padded Youtube videos was change to someone else's post about the Lord.

Whoospiedaisy! You're right, I quoted the wrong person. It is what it is

As for what you said, I believe you're absolutely correct You have to play the system to earn a living, and that leads to standard formats of content that reliably play the system. Sadly, this is most likely the reason why you dont see much pony fan content anymore. Its there, it really is, and in fact I remember trying to keep track of it once and it being overwhelming how much was posted in the span of two weeks, but that was from directly following people rather than the algorithm recommending it.

 

As for another thonkie thonk, I'm thinkin my brain is fuzzy and I dont know why I was unable to sleep, but I probably should get a little rest

I would not say that that affected MLP-content to such a great degree -- I vaguely remember the monetization change occurred sometime between 2011 to 2013, which would have been early in the fandom's history. But this change in monetization did a great deal to undermine independent animators more generally.

Also, I just found out that putting "-" next to "<" actually merges them together to form a little arrow ->  <-

ERMAGURRR I LOVE THIS 

[Sparklefan1234 170,061]

I'm thinking about writing a Friendship is Magic/Generation 5 never-ending story for myself without an actual plot so I can write whatever I want. 

I doubt I'll be motivated enough to actually write anything but I love and miss these ponies so much that I feel like I should do something to show it.

I wonder why I like certain ships...

Could've been a very large spider...
