Gave MLP:FiM a real test: my brother. I was rather certain he would dismiss it before giving it a real chance (though he was certainly willing to give it a cursory chance) but I can tell he enjoyed it. I'd describe him as a "closet brony" at best though. I can't imagine he'd be downloading and watching all of season 1 any time soon.

My parents, on the other hand, thought I was just fucking around with them when I told them I watched My Little Pony, but I told them it was awesome. Then, while watching it, awpmom swings by and says "Wow, you really ARE watching My Little Pony". About 20 minutes later, my old man comes by and says "Holy shit, she was right - you ARE watching My Little Pony. Why are you watching My Little Pony?" Good times. And now I can probably expect some kind of MLP paraphernalia for Christmas. Just please, nothing related to Rarity.
It would be hilarious if you had some MLP toys for christmas.

Also your family is pretty cool. My brothers (twin and elder) just called me a ponyfag when I told them I had started watching MLP, and refused to listen to what I have to say (and they're obviously never downloading nor even watching it). My little brother would just laugh, but not watch it either (it's in english anyway he wouldn't even understand it), and my parents would be genuinely worried and ask me if I am gay or transexual or something for watching girls' cartoons. *young* girls' cartoons on top of that. They wouldn't even try to listen to what I have to say either. regarding the show and would most probably try to prevent me from watching it.

Sounds like SOMEPONY isn't assertive/manly/bearded enough, to me. Judging people isn't my strong suit, but looking people straight in the face and saying "Yes, I watch My Little Pony" unflinchingly is something that a man just has to do sometimes. You can't cure ignorance with weakness or desperation, and you'll be a closet brony forever if you worry about other people judging you. And if people think you're a closet homosexual because you watch a show about cute little ponies they've got a part of the human psyche mixed up. I think you're more likely to be a closet homosexual over something hyper-masculine like Gears of War, because isn't that what being in the closet is all about?

Okay so Equestria Daily is having a Halloween Banner Event
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/10/h ... event.html
Basically, they'll rotate their banners everyday and have a fan-made banner up starting today

I'm quite surprised that they chose mine first. lol

o hai. i came back. :p

sorry for being on "hiatus" for a few weeks because the studio told us to keep quiet about the issue that happened. now ep3 has finally aired, i guess it's safe to come out now. :>

i like how people suddenly thought that ep3 is the best episode ever! i'm certain the future eps will be way better than that! ;) i assure you.

Because it was.

If it's any comfort/worry, Twilight did actually remind me a bit of Odaril. Extremely exaggerated, of course.

Oh yeah, best episode so far. That is fucking phenomenal.

Tried a shot of Rarity when Rarity started acting like Rarity. It was delicious so I had another one. The cinnamon burn from the Goldschlager stands out a bit and the vanilla's not particularly pronounced (maybe I'm not mixing enough of it) but overall a very smooth drink.

When I tried to mix a Nightmare Moon, I ran out of Irish Creme so I'm sitting at half a glass instead of a full glass. This one's a bit of a shitkicker - the rum I'm using is fairly strong (47%) and the other two liquors are 20% each. Made one on the rocks. Overall, it's still good, and the Kahlua/Irish Creme help keep the burn to a minimum. This is actually drinkable. Though I'd advise favouring the liqueurs at about a 2:2:1 mix.

EDIT: Oh boy. Those two shots of Rarity and half a glass of Nightmare Moon have given me a good buzz ♥

Due to the massive amount of homework I was given over the weekend, I didn't have time to watch S2E03 on the day it was aired. I only got the chance to watch it about an hour ago.

My reaction to the episode?
Pretty much this.






Also the new opening has an Easter Egg within it that left me mind-blown when I noticed it. Anyone else who notices it gets a cookie equally-frosted cupcakes.

At first, I was annoyed about Twilight's exaggerated behaviour in this episode, even if it played on her character. However, by the end I realised that the people who wrote this episode are rather brilliant because they made it so that:

1. From now on there's a canonical reason that allows storylines to not shoehorn Twilight in just so she can write her report at the end and
2. The writers aren't actually forced to include a moral in the first place (although they'll probably still do it anyway)

Also, Twilight mentions that her "make random piece of crap irresistible" spell "never fails"...why would she have needed to use it before?

That was a new spell that was introduced for Episode 1 and 2.
However, Episodes 3-26 was planned first and the Discord Arc episodes later.
Episode 3 was suppose to be Episode 1 but they moved it for the Discord Arc.

There's also another Video Preview here: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/10/ ... halloween/
Showing the Cloaked Luna Scene.

The leaked image of Luna was edited by a Certain Animator* so that Luna's face will show.

Also, Episode 4 screenshots from the Facebook page:

Sounds like SOMEPONY isn't assertive/manly/bearded enough, to me. Judging people isn't my strong suit, but looking people straight in the face and saying "Yes, I watch My Little Pony" unflinchingly is something that a man just has to do sometimes.

You say this as if it's a problem. Seriously, get the fuck over yourself, you probably won't see it again in less than a year.

I don't understand how you people can spoil yourself with a video first though, a day before it airs. It might not be LOST or some rubbish like that, but potential for disappointment's part of the fun.

Good episode for drinking a Nightmare Moon with. 'cept I was hungover from drinking them the night before. I thought this was the weakest episode in season 2 thus far, but that isn't really saying a whole lot, since it was still great.

Oh Twilight u so adorkable.

Also, Rarity wasn't in the episode because Luna had the same voice actress as Rarity.
I swear, it's hard to listen to Luna without hearing Rarity.

There was a whole sequence where Twilight brought Luna to Rarity's for a makeover, hoping she could give Luna a "softer," less intimidating look. Rarity freaked out about getting to dress up a Princess and over did it, covering her in the pinkiest pink princess get up ever. Luna disliked it and in taking it off, had a piece of the dress in her mouth. Pinkie showed up just at that moment and screamed that Nightmare Moon ate a princess and all the kids screamed and ran.

So I was thinking I should post something on the osu forums, and then figured 'what better place to post my first post than the pony thread?'. The introductions section probably, but hey, this is close enough. So hi.

What a sad (?) day for the fanon.
A bunch of Official products of background ponies were finally named, and it's saddening that their names are different from the fanon.
I guess there's some legal issue abut using the fanon names as official, but meh.

Here's Heartstrings, known as "Lyra" by the fanon.

Best episode ever #4. It reminded me that I should be a better sister.

I'm disgusted that you think only girls can be sisters.

so my goal for this episode was to take a shot of Rarity (French vanilla, Goldschlager, and Irish Creme) every time Rarity was being a bitch. 8 minutes in I was up to six shots. At that point, I wussed out and now I'm drunk but at least I'm not puking violently/dead.

Rarity is regarded as the symbol of generosity but that is sorely misguided; you'll find on a multitude of accounts that all of her actions are driven by selfishness. Even seemingly altruistic actions, such as her donation of her tail to Stephen Magnets' mustache, were not altruistic at all, but spawned from her distaste at what she saw. She changed him because she didn't like what she saw.

Rarity is a selfish bitch. I don't fault you for finding her endearing, but let's not stick our heads in the dirt. She's selfish. Representative of generosity my ass. Spike deserves that distinction more than Rarity at a minimum. Poor sod.

You're drunk. I haven't watched the new ep yet, but her other episodes have made it clear she is quite generous. You're all silly for thinking having standards is being a bitch. You're relying on stereotypes set by other shows; she's overdramatic, sometimes, yes, but she goes out of her way to share her excellence with others.
That's what generosity is: charity. People would probably call Bill Gates a bitch if he was a girl, but he's the one donating billions of dollars to people in need. He still has high living standards for himself, but he's generous. Don't mix it up with kindness, that's fluttershy's thing and she can't hold her own whereas Rarity doesn't need anypony to hold her own, she's a strong individual and she enjoys sharing the reaps of her efforts with others to better their lives.

You haven't? Well, it might help to shed some light on the situation.

But asserting that generosity is charity is misled, at best. True generosity means to be purely altruistic. To put others before you as a reflex, not an assessment. Rarity always feels the need to explain her motives - hardly an altruistic gesture at all. Charity can - and often does - have ulterior motives. A sense of fullness or morality are common themes in that regard. "I do this because it makes me a good pony."

With regards to having standards - that's fine. It's your presentation to others that defines your character, though. Lifting your nose to the air and scoffing with a "hmph!" is as close to a literal definition of being a bitch as one can get. Rarity expresses herself in an aggressive, forward manner and, while to the point, does not take the feelings of others into account. That is why you see her backpedalling so often - to bandage the feelings she hurts, rather than preventing any damage from the get-go.

speaking of the new toys, Blossomforth will be a reverse case.

also, legal cases for adopting fanon names would less likely to be the case (see: derpy being canonized)

and speaking of the 2012 toys, i just want a show-accurate Celestia and i'll be happy.

Some people just paint the Celestia white. I've even seen a nightmare-moon version that looked show accurate even though it was just a painted Celestia.

Oh, awp, you're wrong. WRRRRRRRRRRRRRONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, I don't need to argue with peasants, but if you wish for me to share my wisdom I will when I feel necessary. Hmph!

Then it's settled. I will ask for your wisdom when you acquire it and I deem it necessary, and until then you may remain an example of the generosity fallacy.

You're a customer guest to my thread. If you want to keep complaining I suggest you do it outside of here. I'm providing you with a service and if you are unhappy with it I suggest you go elsewhere.

...But we could work on that beard a bit if you want, free of charge...

If there was a way to make it less curly around the sides, that'd be wonderful. Without the need to trim, of course. I have appearances to keep, you know.

The moisturizing conditioner has reduced irritability though, and that is a welcome change.

This is now my favorite ep for two reasons:

1. No Twilight

2. Rarity got some much-needed character development in the form of realizing that she should stop being a bitch towards her sister and loosen up a bit.

So I just woke up and checked Equestria Daily
Then I saw this article about removing the leaked song.

So I searched the interwebs if anypony was able to save it and re-uploaded it, so here it is:

Leaked Pinkie Song (Soiler Alert)

Okay so wow. WOW.
That was insanely good.
