Why do people keep trying to make pony general without keywords?

>>23796699
Much appreciated citizen!

>>23796710
no problemo <3

>>23796693

But Pony is a keyword. Or were you talking about that last fail thread?

>>23796733
There was two other fail threads with no pony tags

>>23796765

I saw one last night that the OP quickly deleted. That last was the first I saw this morning. Either trolls or newfags, either way they're retards.

alright bronies
let's get some cute up in here!
maybe that'll help clear up the grumpy mood

So, one topic for discussion.

Many people hold call of the cutie in very low oppinion, if not as their least favorite episode (while assuring other bronies it's only in comparison to how great the other episodes are)

Is this because it's one of the only episodes to truly meant for younger audiences, because twist was so disliked, or because it was the episode that inspired cupcakes

Sooo...

What do the drawfriends who actually have talent use to draw their art?

I'd hazard a bet they don't use note paper and mechanical pencils.

>>23796875
I liked it, though the main reason is probably yes to the first and Twist's voice. And how did you come up with that?

>>23796875
Return of babby ponies for me.

Also the mane cast had very little airtime. I liked applebloom alot better when she was still a secondary character

>>23796904
>I'd hazard a bet they don't use note paper and mechanical pencils.

I do

>>23796904
I use a canson sketchbook, mechanical pencils and a metal tip sharpie. But I've only posted one or 2 thinks here before

Everyone seemed to love CotC when it first aired. I have no idea where all the hate comes from.

>>23796875
I kind of of like it. It'a not my favorite (being reserved to Sonic Rainboom and Griffin the Brushoff) but I learned a little more about Ponyville if not the apple family's nature.

Oh /co, I was so ready to watch a stream with my fellow bronies, but I have errands to run and they have to be moved up. I may not even get to watch the new episode til Sunday. :(

>>23796960
The initial episode reactions are always positive. Then the high wears off and people can offer their honest analysis.

>>23796960
Call of the Cutie had Jewish influences
Religion
It's the

Oh fuck i can't even bother to troll at this point even if it's just trying to be funny, these threads have been too full of that shit

Anyway, I think it was just considered the weakest because Applebloom felt a tad more held back and undetermined as a character compared to the mane cast.

I realized i disliked it when i watched it twice.

The CMC sucks.

Upon watching those 'pony' qasihumans.. I cannot but ask myself a question the every good man or woman should ask themself...

What would TORQUEMADA do?

Need nation-ponies.

>>23797051
stupid fail on confirmation code ate mah picture

>>23797010

But the CMC only had like thirty seconds of air time. There's nothing with which to form an opinion. Hard to take you seriously when you say you've seen the episode.

I cross my fingers and hope that since this is an Apple Bloom episode today that this guy makes an appearance.

>>23796875
I really liked that episode. Don't know why others don't. But as a guess I'd say a lot of people find kids/childish behavior naturally aggravating. Maybe applebloom pissed 'em off.

The two episodes I hated were Griffon the Brush-Off and Look Before You Sleep.

>>23796875
Twist is cute. Haters gonna hate.

>make cast of interesting personalities
>fans fall in love with wall-eyed background pony
I wish I had a better picture of her looking sad.

>>23797071

Does your OC have a name, anon?

Anyone have a coloured version?

>>23797092
Captain Flash Heart~ Unfortunately I can't find any quotes from BlackAdder that are suitable for ponies =(

>>23797034
I think a lot of people were excited about CotC because it was the last episode that was going to air for a while.

But that also meant it got picked apart far more than other eps.

I think it's a good episode, though uneven (it's really fun and cute until the party, everything after that just seems forced.) The weakest episode is still Boast Busters

>>23797098
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH

>>23797076
Remind me...

I requested this in the wee hours of the morning.

I need a picture of a very tiny Big? Macintosh taking a first look at a newborn Applejack.

It's sort of for a story.

This series has a problem in that it's so fucking good. Nearly every episode is better than the last. That creates unrealistic expectations in the minds of some of the less than mature audience. It's had a streak for awhile now. Will today's episode be not quite as good as the last, and thus causing tards to rage? It's impossible to predict. But if I was asked to try, I'd say no. I'm guessing that will be next week.

>>23797090

>Implying we don't love the main cast.

>>23797029
Because the show is great...also, doubles.

>>23797117
Boast Busters? Nigga you srs?

>how does poni ski?

>>23797090
But Lauren loves Derpy, too.

I think a lot of morons thought CotC was about getting your period, and as these neckbeards never did they were raging hard.

>>23797090
Naw I think she knows people love the rest of the cast as well. She sounded like she was more amused by the reaction to it.

I think the dumb overreaction to Feeling Pinkie Keen honestly was more upsetting to her. she made a really detailed comment trying to explain it.

>>23797117

Boast Busters was the weakest as far as plot was concerned, but it was still more entertaining than Look Before You Sleep.

That said, this is all a matter of arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Every episode had been very good.

>>23797155
Derpy Time?

>>23797187
Nobody actually thought it was about that...right

>>23797090

We've ran a statistical analysis on the archives for discussions of the characters.

The mane cast gets far more attention than Derpy.

>>23797204

Most of us are smart enough to realize that it was allegory for a combination of menarche, titties, and cherry popping.

>>23797215
Got me there.

>>23797187
I didn't think about "getting your period" but I definitely took the whole thing about women hitting "that age". Well, up until Applebloom started going through all the different ponies and things to find what she was special at, then it seemed more like trying to find out about what you want to do in life. but those two little shit cunt ponies definitely made it seem like parts of it were about maturing women.

>>23797215
Bad shoop is bad.

New ponies, bodies ready etc. Now that that's out of the way, I request that a drawfriend make a Dave Mustaine pony!

>>23797088
Agreed.

I don't think people should be so quick to judge the CMC as a bad thing. Remember: they haven't done anything as a group yet. Call of the Cutie ended with them forming the club, so we haven't seen them have adventures or how they play off each other. Sweetie Belle's personality in particular hasn't really been established yet.

This is the first real CMC episode. (Call of the Cutie was their "origin story," much like the two-parter was for Twilight's clique.) It might turn out to be awesome, and will probably be adorable.

>>23797155
>55

This is now a fucking Derpy thread.

>>23797238
>shoop

It's a painted custom.

I don't think Call of the Cutie was about getting your period, but I caught that association anyway, and the episode still makes me giggle.

I think the CMC have promise. Like someone else said, we didn't get to see a lot of them in Call of the Cutie. We'll get to know them a bit better over the next week.

CMC was great because the marks are about finding out you're good at and what you want to do and Diamond Tiara/Silver Spoon are good at being incredibly spoiled :V

>>23797088

Twist is designed perfectly to be exactly what she's supposed to be, both cute and obnoxious at the same time.

Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love, writers gonna write.

>>23797155
>Derpy doesn't know how to point
>She's still better at doubles than Trixie
Poor Trixie.

>>23797238

custom toy, dumbass.

DERPY GENARL

>>23797191
I thought Look Before You Sleep was one of the best written episodes, actually.

It's the most character-driven of any story in the series so far, and that's the sort of thing I watch MLP for.

Of course, if you're a big fan of Pinkie, Fluttershy, or Dash, you're going to enjoy it a lot less.

YEEEEEEEEEEEES

Raandom question. What does Rarity say in Art of the dress in this scene? It sounds like "Ive gone bananas" or something.

>>23797328

My only concern with the CMC is that it might split the show into two styles, with some featuring TS and friends and the others featuring the CMC, so it's like two separate casts instead of one larger mixed one. I say this only because CotC featured AB in nearly every shot and the other ponies were edged out to make room for her. Even TS had no purpose in the episode and was only thrown in because it's her job to deliver the moral.

Hopefully I'm wrong and today's will show the CMC blending well with the others.

MUFFINS

>>23797290
I laughed at how silver spoons special talent was to be born to rich parents AKA with a silver spoon in your mouth.

Must suck knowing you will always be judged not by your own abilities but by the amount of cash your parents have, but I'd also guess all the monies will ease the pain.

<----- Is this you?

>>23797336
That's the 6" figure. It actually does come with that stuff, the hat's just pink. They repainted it in that photo.

>fan of Pinkie, Fluttershy or Dash

This so much. It was my least favorite episode when it aired, but after Suited for Success and Sonic rainboom i came to love Rarity and really liked it the next time i saw it. I still felt it was kind of slowish but there was a good amount of focus on the characters and writing.

What I'd be interested to see is how many people like that episode the most, and also happen to dislike Pinkie Keen since they're in direct opposition of each other in what they offer.

>>23797397

Snails has a snail, meaning his special talent is being slow. He might as well have a short bus on his ass.

>>23797415

Carrots is kind of depressing

>>23797415
Not if you interpret the Dr. Whoof mark as "waiting to die."

>>23797436

i lol every time.

>>23797439

>>23797377
My fanon: Silver Spoon isn't really a huge bitch, she just imitates her best friend's behavior to gain her approval. Take a look at the into to CotC. Silver Spoon is smiling and chatting up with the rest of the class while Diamond Tiara is scowling heavily. The latter really is a huge spoiled bitch.

SS's dad is the waiter pony from Ticket Master (Silver Platter). I'm thinking about doing a fic where he makes her work at the restaurant to build character.

I'm off this weekend
I get to stay up late
Think I'll start working a zombie fic.

>>23797456
Carrots are tasty, and probably imply that she has super-human vision.

Most depressing Cutie Mark is any pony who has a flower. Why? Because there's like a hundred ponies with flowers. And all of them are background ponies who have never done anything interesting.

A flower is probably what they give out to ponies who aren't talented or remarkable in any way. It's like the cutie mark gods said, "Oh, you're not special at all. Here, have something pretty."

An exception is made for Luxury Lotus because her flower is exotic and implies spiritual and physical healing.

I can troll decently if I want to but seeing as trolling is all about making a thread go in another direction by manipulating emotions I've never really liked doing it on /co/ - the only thing I'd like to get rid of on /co/ is all the fucking /v/-roll threads but since there's no investment in those threads trolling them is like pissing in an ocean of piss.

>>23797633
That didn't turn out well... how does it work?!

I'm honestly surprised Rainbow's tale hasn't ripped off at this point.

>>23797613

But the CMC episode established that the marks can be figurative rather than literal representations of talent, i.e. the teacher who had flowers as her mark. Having a generic mark means that your free will plays a larger role in what you will become.

>>23797631
Whipped cream.

>>23797822
Oh gawd, why?

>>23797767

Balloons represent parties, which are Pinkie Pie's special talent.

I got an Idea for a drawfriend if they are in the mood to do something cute:

Celstia and Luna having an afternoon nap together.

If done right it could be down right adorable.

>>23797415
But the thing is that cutie marks are magical signs which gauge the activity, ability or other specialty that separates a pony from other ponies, and as CotC explains: Special Talent precedes the cutie mark, or that the cutie mark appears only when a ponies true potential is found. That means that Boxxy Brown in FPK is the best damn delivery pony in Equestria.

The question remains that are all ponies happy with their special talent? As far as the show has shown all ponies seem content with their part in life. It would be pretty convenient if a magical marker appeared on your ass telling you "YOU ARE A GREAT COOK" or "YOU ARE GREAT WITH KIDS", but also on the other hand your destiny has been more or less predetermined. You wanted to be a rock star? Sorry, you've got an amplifier on your ass, get to work backstage. Of course ponies have multiple abilities, but the thing on your ass is what you really are the best at. At the end of the day though aren't ponies (people) the happiest doing what they are good at or what they enjoy?

It's also pretty interesting how some cutie marks leave a very open interpretation of a pony's special talent. A good example is the difference between Trixie and Twilight. Twi's special talent is magic universally, where as Trixies special ability was show magic, magic used to amaze and entertain people. Does that mean there are ponies whose special talent is for example healing magic? Destructive magic? Meta-magic?

Seeing that we have Snails, whose special ability is being slow, we might at some point see a pony whose special talent is being a genius. While Twilight is clearly incredibly bright and a hardworker, she has been shown to be as fallacious as a regular pony, as she seems to (rarely) have a hard time understanding things outside of magic.

tl;dr Overall I think it's interesting how deterministic place Equestria is, and not just with cutie marks.

There's probably something in the archives from the first time I brought it up. Yesterday was just a revival (and more successful than the initial attempt, though likely just new to the number of newfoals).

>>23797805
Well that's what I meant. I wasn't really trying hard to troll, but when it got reactions, I ran with it.

>>23797775
It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time...

I have a question, in the end of CMC Twilight said that Apple Bloom is very lucky, because without a cutie mark she can dream with anything, she can be even a Mayor in the future. Well that implies that when you have a "mayor" cutie mark, with leadership and everyrthing, everyone will vote in you, instead of that guy with one fruit as cutie mark.
So, there's a cutie mark segregation?

You guys must be pretty dense. The symbolism behind CoC was so obvious a 6th-grade English class could spot it. Obviously the relation isn't one-to-one, but in that it's a largely involuntary biological process that signifies the entrance to adulthood, the show addresses the topic of getting your period in a way that's appropriate to the milieu.

I'm not even sure why this is controversial or viewed as a negative; the issue's important to the target audience and the show does a good job of getting across its lessons, which I don't think anyone can quarrel with, without coming across as preachy.

I've been wondering something. Cutie marks are unique like snowflakes, right? No two ponies can have the same one, right? Well, in the thousands of years of Equestria's existence, I find it hard to believe ponies are still able to have such simplistic cutie marks. Three apples, three diamonds, three flowers, three balloons, etc. There's never been a pony with three apples before? Or is it that once a pony dies, that cutie mark becomes available again? If not, surely they should have some complex, elaborate cutie mark designs at this point.

>>23797878
Reminds me of the baby

>>23797949
I'll let someone else victimize themselves first.

>>23797922
Why would a pony who specializes in fruit try to be a mayor? Ponys earn marks by learning to do what they are truly ment to do and love not. hurp born with a fruit? you cant be mayor

no it would be like hiring people from a certain school over someone from a different school

or if you are the son of a famous watchsmith you are more likely to be a watchsmith yourself.

the cutie marks are crazy vague sometimes. Like bubbles or balloons or a fruit as you said. They reflect the inner mind of the pony so appointing someone with the goddamned constitution on his flank for Supreme Court Justice isnt because he somehow got lucky on the cutie mark draw its cause the constitution is his big deal.

you dont become a pony locksmith and accidentially get a corn on the cob as your cutie mark.

My special talent is...
>my face when i don't have a cutie mark

>>23797155
Derpy, what are you doing girl? You're pointing the wrong way!

>>23797950
that's my point
>>23797954
but that "proof" is forever, and you can have it since you are a child

>>23797974
ive seen the same cutie mark, its the hour glass,
he shows up in the episode where apple bloom sells
apples with her sister and is the first person to perform
during the sonic rainboom episode, the thing ins
there voices are dramatically different

>>23797974
Once a pony dies their cutie mark is put back in the available pool.

>>23797973

I would have thought it was about getting boobs, not periods. Boobs are something some young girls actually want to have that shows that they're growing up. Periods, not so much. Getting called a blank flank is like being called flat.

My special talent is being a god.

>>23797974
I dont think cutie marks are unique. This implies that a ponies specialization would have to be so niche that no other pony in the history of ponydom would have the same talent.

I would personally highlight the "special talent" apect of a cutie mark rather than "This is what makes you special".

I am a wizard.

>>23797974
I don't think it's been implied that all cutie marks are unique, and they could easily be 're-used' as different colored/sized marks.

You'll see! One of these days The Great and Powerful Trixie will show you! She'll show everypony!

I wish I could have a Swastika cutie mark so I could Führer later in my life.

>>23798020
Ponies die wat?

>>23797949
BA HA HA HA give this man a pony

>>23798046
Oh Trixie why do you suck so much at getting doubles?
We need a pony whose cutie mark is doubles.

>>23798014
Just follow where it points. I bet there's double something there...
>mfw derpy was pointing to a pair of coke cans sitting on a shelf...
>mfw I still can't post pictures here, thus having no face

>>23798020
What if the cutie mark was ripped off the pony before death though?

>>23798053
Yes, ponies get old and die

>>23798035

Yeah, no one's noticed the several background ponies with the same cutie mark? Painter Pete and Twilight Sparkle? Dr. Whoof and Romana? They're out there.

>>23798051

>>23798046
And once again, Trixie proves she is neither great nor powerful.

Cutie marks are just cutie marks, it's about being special somehow, stop overthinking it

>>23798125
The autists can't stop overthinking things.

My body isn't ready! But my streams are

Sup, bronies. Well, I got the impression there was a lot of trouble with concurrent users last week so I've decided to try something different to help reduce the bandwidth this week. And just like last week, these are in the same 528 x 480 resolution Comcast gives me the Hub. I've decided to nix the raw MPEG-2 TS but I will still upload that to MediaFire however long it takes to upload after the show. I doubt I'll cut the commercials, though.

There are only two streams this time. The first direct stream is a 396 Kbps WMV9/VC1 in pretty decent quality.
http://98.225.193.141:8083

Just paste this into Media Player/VLC/whatever and start watching.

Though, keep in mind, I can only support about 7-9 users with this one.

The second stream is the exact same as above only distributed with the P2P streaming service, SopCast. It's something like Bittorrent for live streams.

Just install one of the SopCast clients from here: http://www.sopcast.org/download/ and you should be watching ponies in the same decent WMV9/VC1 quality without the bandwidth limitations of the above! Delete the "C:\Program Files\SopCast\adv\" folder first


Here is the Sopcast URL:
sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/109230

Just paste this bad boy into SopCast/Windows Media Player once you have their client installed. If you want to use another video player like VLC, just input: http://127.0.0.1:8902/stream once you have SopCast streaming. You can then pause the video and watch it in the other player of your choice. This is also how how you'd watch it on a Mac over your network.

Cutie Marks are the physical representations of souls.

Not the judeochristian type. The "soul" as a fundamental "you"ness that can only be achieved by forging an identity, through introspection and trial.

what is with all the flatwoods monster stuff?

>>23798123

Makes me HNNNNNNNG every single time.

TWO TRIXIES!?
Twilight didn't understand what was going on, but she had little time to think about it as the light green Trixie and Navy blue trixie began to attack them.
Coming at her from all sides, she was easily overwhelmed and fell back! How could There be two of them?

Then Fluttershy remembered something from the last time Twilight had battled Trixie that her finishing spell enveloped trixie in a ball of light. one that split into two directions and scattered accross equestria.

"Those lights must have been these two trixies!" Spike stated!

"That's right," Said the green Trixie, "I am the great Trixie!"
"And I am the Powerful Trixie!"
"And together we are greater and more powerful than we ever were before!"

>>23798178
Perhaps one of the old drawfags frenqueted /x/, or just liked paranormal?

Pretty good job, she needs to be moved over to the right a lil bit though, the grass is going under her right foot looks kinda weird

>>23798327
Try to do a sonic rainboom

It surprises me how often I see Ipana reposted, considering I never actually posted her on 4ch.


aaaand... image limit as soon as I hit submit. But I finally drew Celestia!

There may be periodic outages between now and ponies as I mess with the server. Also, the video codec was changed to WMV8. The server just couldn't handle VC1. Just try connecting again if something messes up.

"Romana." I like Ipana better, and because she doesn't have a name, i can pretend.

For those who wish to use the SopCast stream, PLEASE SEED. To do that, just start watching it. Just like a torrent, the more people who are watching it the faster it will go. I just checked and it should be back up and running now.

Is Equestria like Plato's Republic? The cutie marks give people their social position, which is pretty unchangeable, putting across the idea that if you have a special talent, this is both a necessary and sufficient condition to doing the related job.

The Princess, shown by her relationship with Twilight Sparkle, if of the philosophical ruling class, someone qualified for her position due to her virtuous character and eudaimon status.

Twilight Sparkle herself is going through the learning journey to becoming a similar philosopher-ruler - therefore being part of the auxiliaries - having mastered the academic side, and now developing her social and leadership/organisational skills.

We can also see the prevalence of many noble lies, particularly the stated necessity for the ponies to work together to bring about seasonal changes. This encourages in them a sense of community and acceptance of their social status.
