Use the index you foal
http://arch.413chan.net/mlpgeneral/

But this it probably going to be a new one, since last hit recently hit limit.

Twalah told me I have aids

>>25170885
I thought it was jammed full of clichés, but it worked. Kept the whole light-hearted fourth-wall-bending comedy throughout and managed to be less than brutally obvious about its aesop.

Though the aesop WAS a bit...meh. They could have gone with something other than "FRIENDS WILL ALWAYS FIND FRIENDS FATE IS AWESOME LOLOL"

My twisted brain just misinterprets that as Celestia deliberately making Rainbow Dash a potential harem as payment for 'fixing' her most promising student.

i feel like such a fucking faggot after seeing baby pony show nothing has made me this happy in a long time

>>25170865

Yeah use the hyperindex. the whole point is to have a thread that doesn't need to be on the front page all the time.

>>25170962
It was an o.k. episode, but obviously pushed to it's boundaries and a bit over them too.

Just finished getting caught up on the last two episodes...

>mfw Fluttershy and rainbow Dash WERE friends as fillies
>mfw Twilight's "snap" adds ton of material for conspiracy theories

Cutie Mark Chronicles was like a gift from God for writefriends. My fic pony feathers got validated a little bit due to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy actually being friends prior to the pilot (even if I didn't have them living in Cloudsdale) and the whole thing with Twilight Sparkles audition and her huge power surge is going to provide some great fuel for my grimdark/conspiracy series.

>>25170973
It's the fucking feel good show of the century. It's witty, simplistic and honest. This show WANTS you to have fun. It's not trying to cram life lessons down your throat any more than the network would demand from an "edutainment show for little girls".

Helps that the morals tend to be fairly unobtrusive.

>>25170979

MAYBE it would work BETTAH is some people would post the big meaty linkboard.

out of curiosity, how many of you guys are relatively new to /co/? (migrated here due to ponyfags advertising outside of /co/)

Rarity is truly, truly outrageous.

TRULY TRULY TRULY OUTRAGEOUS.

Discuss.

>>25170910
Don't fight it. Let it flow through you. Doesn't it feel good?

Have some Fluttershy.

Any other requests for high res screenshots from the episode while I'm making them?

All shah ever talks about these days is how great her big sister is, with her fancy houses, and her soda company, and the people she meets, and how much she wanna be like you. When she saw you walk up this morning, tha first thing she did was ruhn to me and tell me how her cool sister's back."

That sucks, Applebloom.

PLEASE shots of baby Twilight. She was making some of the funniest faces during her flashback.

Twilight going into Over Limit. Any good shots from that scene.

I'll be using them for writing reference.

Thanks OP, was wondering wtf myself.

I lurked here occasionally for my comic fix when I felt deprived of them, but have only kept a browser window open for pony threads recently. Although I browse the main board roughly as much as I did before.

>>25171082

Sooooo like I mentioned in the last thread, Celestia and Luna are clearly the same person.

>>25171047
I just want to tell you that I got your joke and it made me laugh.

>>25171130
This is a series? Where can I find the others?

I thought the episode was a bit meh. I can't help to be disappointed. Especially by Fluttershy's song when the show has usually pretty awesome and catchy ones.

What did you guys think about Pinky Pie's story? Which parts were real? Which parts were fake?

Giant Spike with his head through the ceiling was awesome. That is all.

>>25170962
I dunno, if you look at the scale of that sonic rainboom, then it must have been seen by pretty much everyone around. As the main cast is all around the same age, it's really not *that* much of a stretch to think that it effected them all. With the exception of twilight, it merely accelerated them finding their talents, rather than being their only chance.

>>25171053
Do you like this one?

>>25171130
am i missing some back story on a previous thread or something?

>>25171180
Fluttershy is a Disney Princess™ in pony form. She's allowed to have a fairly bland Disney Princess™ song.

>Pinkie Pie's story
>which parts were real?
ALL OF IT
ESPECIALLY THE LIES

>>25171239
Hey, the part where the rainbow made her smile must have been true I guess.

>>25171195
Which leads into my belief that Rainbow Dash's "calling" in life is to DO THE IMPOSSIBLE

SEE THE INVISIBLE

>>25171250

>dat schnozz

Twilight had a big ol' nose right at the end too

>>25171177
Well, it was just a continuation (or a different perspective) of this scene I made yesterday. /co/ was discussing what would have happened if Rainbow Dash hadn't did what she did, and then someone talked about a big bad going back and changing it, but Twilight can remember because MAGIC,and is going around to set things right before History is changed too much blah blah blah, and then I wrote that.

>>25171229
>>25171177

Thirding a link to the whole story. I love alt-history.

>>25171138
Sheogorath/Jyggalag sort of?

>>25171250

That looked terrible.

>>25171250
> Candyvag Payback Time

The episode was amazing.

My only real complain is the really off-model design/animation bits.

my funnest part was when rarity was magically pulled by her horn and it going up and down the hills and to the rock and yelling at it...

>>25171180
>>25171180
>>25171180

>Pinky Pies story
>fake

Brony, none of it was fake.
You now realize PP is a demi-god on the order of a descendant of Loki and is in Equestria to sow chaos in the face of the brazen tyrant who hides behind a veil of benevolence.

>you know of whom I speak

>>25171250
PINKIE RAPE

>>25171275

you pay attention to that stuff, it's kind of lame don't you think?

>>25171239

I love you.

>>25171279
More like Therese/Jeanette.

Except that because of GOD POWERS, she can manifest two separate bodies if need be to indulge her utter lunacy.

>>25171275
see>>25171269

I could write some others, like I have something for Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie too.

>>25171204
It's great, bedroom eyes Fluttershy's always great.!

>>25171082
Stupid flood detection is really hampering my ability to post.

Just watched the new episode.
I'm sad that Rainbow Dash broke the sound barrier, something believed impossible by ponykind, and there was not a single Chuck Yeagar reference to be found.

>>25171304
All this time we were accusing celestia of being a tyrant, we had the wrong pony! We have to stop her before it's to-

>>25171313
Fucking Malkavians man. Seriously.

>>25171269

So Season 6 of Lost then.

I approve. Please continue.

>>25171339
Nothing can stop a woman who can bend the fourth wall to her whims, manipulate reality around her, tamper with the very laws of causality, and never even raise an eyebrow doing it.

Pinkie Pie is Yukari.

>>25171351
Delicious Malkavians. Two for the price of one.

Did Sethisto (blogbrony) ever mention the date for the next friend-off. In an early newspost he mentioned... yesterday and that obviously didn't fly..

Seeing as how she is a race horse, how long do you suppose it take Rainbow Dash to use the restroom?

>>25171351

Best race is best.

>>25171354
I didn't ever watch Lost, actually.

But sure, I can continue.

>>25171377
Ten, seconds, flat!

>>25171333

Give us a Chuck Yeager reference, then.

>>25171377
She sleeps in the clouds.

Ponyville is known for its extremely violent downpours.

>>25171083

>>25171376

Oh I dunno, but do I have a DOOZY of a story for this friend-off. Can't wait to submit it

Pinkie Pie tells a different story every time...

"Ya wanna know how I got my cutie mark?"

"why so serious?"

Am I the only person who thought of that whilst watching her scene?

>>25171386
This just makes me think that Scootaloo is going to grow up to be one hell of a bro.

Which means she's probably never going to have a boyfriend.

>>25171403
I'd love to see someone make human!Dash in Charlotte's uniform.

>>25171415

pics of her with the white eyes?

>>25171408

>>25171441
This reminds me, have we seen an Equestrian flag, ever?

>>25171414

D'awwwwww

>>25171441

>>25171431
Let's put a SMIIIIILE on that face!

And they were all smiling after she finished with them. Now they'll smile forever.

>>25171433
>never going to have a boyfriend
Is that a BAD thing?

>>25171094

>>25171433
>she's probably never going to have a boyfriend.
So it's decided then? She's the new lesbian pony.

>>25171250
it's like Laura Faust designs this show with potential screen caps in mind

>>25171437
this do?

>>25171239

I warned you, Garak. You and your spoon head buddies aren't welcome around here.

>>25171456

Scootaloo is a pegasus with pink hair and yellow-orange fur.
Fluttershy has pink hair and yellow fur.
Even though scoot looks up to rainbow, derp.

>>25171485

thats good, but i think there were closer ups of her when celestia showed up

>>25171377
Are you asking for how long Rainbow Dash can piss?

she's pretty small, i would say about a solid minute.

>>25171473
>implying there are non-lesbian ponies

>>25171477
>Laura Faust designs
She hardly has any influence on the final product. Just take Derpy scene from Feeling Pinkie Keen as an example.

>>25171437

>>25171506
Oh, ok. This?

>>25171518
She's basically the executive producer, right? So it's her 'idea' and all, she's most of the creative source, but there are plenty of other people who do all the actual detailing and fill in everything important.

>>25171517

>>25171528
>>25171553
>>25171562

>>25171550
Exactly, I doubt she thoroughly checks every episode.

Alright, here it goes.

Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is actually an elaborate front designed to find those Unicorns with the greatest amount of raw magical power and train them to fully realize their potential. Those who rank high enough are accepted as Celestia's personal students, whom she trains into becoming a small force of "Super Soldiers." While many of the other unicorns in her academy will become shock troops, these super soldiers are a black ops force that answer only to the princess and operate to remove any significant problems that encroach upon Celestia's carefully constructed rule.

Twilight is the most shockingly powerful of all the unicorns Celestia has ever seen. Special attention is being given to her to set her up as the leader of this special task force. The battle against Nightmare Moon was her first "field test."

>>25171563
BUT STILL...

>>25171550
She almost certainly retains control of everything, so it can be assumed that everything we see is Faust-approved, but not Faust-created.

Anybody have a source for the series of pictures of the humanized mane cast getting railed from behind?
I need them to print out and post them outside of a school.

>>25171586
And Twilight is actually Alma's daughter.

Wait...

>>25171601
FIMchan. They're all there, I think. Just check the MegaSweet threads.

PONIES

ROCKIN' INTO THE NEEEEEEIIIIIII-IIIIIIIIGHT

>>25171586
Why does she need shock troops? Who's going to fuck with the mare that brings up the sun every morning?

READ THIS

>>25171415
I have this unfolding theory that Twilight is among the elite of naturally occurring super-talented ability.
This is basically canon, at that point, but here's where it comes in-
I think Celestia raises and harvests these gifted unicorns throughout the generation, either as her primary enforcers, or advisors, but after they've been cultivated an used up their extended lifetimes, Celestia kills them and absorbs their power to extend her reign.

>this is the true secret of the allicorns

>>25171586
Actually, she's training X-Ponies

>>25171612
God dammit, Pinkie.

I dunno, was it pained or just surprised? What do you guys make of it?

>>25171605
Never played F.E.A.R. so...

>>25171624
Who says she ACTUALLY is responsible for the sun rising?

>>25171130
I like how this Pinkie Pie can't even bring herself to say 'merrier', nice touch.

>>25171660
Spoiler: spoiler tags are singular.

>>25171668
This episode, for one. It pretty much puts the "She's a fake" theories to bed, the sun didn't even rise smoothly behind her, it absolutely matched her movement.

>>25171660
>he'd have never been born
I am pretty sure she just sped up the process.

>>25171562
MAKE US WHOLE ISSAC

Y'know, I'm kinda surprised Twilight didn't mention to Spike how he'd have never been hatched if not for Rainbow Dash.
Also, speaking of Spike and the entrance exam, d'you think EVERY pony at Princess Xavier's School for gifted Youngstercorns has a dragon familiar? Or did they just happen to have a dragon egg handy and figure "eh, what's the worst that could happen?"...

>>25171586

I really like this idea!

>>25171601
What kind of school?

>>25171552
Everyone in Equestria is gay. It's actually the straight ponies who are discriminated against.

>>25171265

>>25171705
FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR MARKER

>>25171706
>Would have never been born
He was fully formed and ready to hatch, he'd have been born very soon regardless of whether he was helped out by a unicorn

>>25171720

>>25171692
She carefully times it. To be in power for at least a thousand years and fool an entire world into believing her a sun deity takes smarts.

And I'm not saying that she ISN'T a goddess, just that she's not a goddess of what she claims to be.

Also, Trixie is another personal student of Celestia's who was sent to test Twilight's progress. Snips and Snails were tricked into bringing the Ursa Minor to town.

>>25171718
Rainbow Dash is straight, or at least acts like such.

>>25171562

That pose looks familiar...

>>25171718

>>25171250
Dash's face looks strange, but it's not sinister like Fluttershys.

More and more I think that pony has something deeply wrong with her.

>>25171718
>reverse incrimination

And that is how the professionals fix their population problems.

yesyesyesyes fund it write it

>>25171718
>90% female
They're probably all bisexual through necessity. It'd be the social norm.

That's actually what I don't get about most of these shipping fanfics, they describe a society that simultaneously has just about everybody as a lesbian, *and* one where people are worried about discrimination. It just wouldn't happen.

>>25171757
I've seen nothing so far that really suggests any of the cast have a love life of any kind beyond Spike.

>>25171718
Pinkie?
Are you actually going to work at the sugarcube corner?
DON'T DO IT.

The people who own that place are... are... s-s-s-traight!

>>25171791
>Ending of Sonic Rainboom;
>Massive buttfrustration on /co/ because of it;
>Not knowing it.
Derp, herp.

>>25171782
I've decided it is to be my next piece in the same series as The Truth and Death of a Mail Pony.

Which are both pretty good stories and you should read them.

>>25171783

Yeah it is kind of weird to think about that.

Once in a while it's implied that Unicorns are a bunch of fags and do dirty things with each other using their horns and that makes me laugh.

>>25171755
If the sun had risen smoothly I could agree with you, but check again, it doesn't. The sun exactly follows her flapping, and then stops when she does. She either controls the sun, or has enough influence over it that she may as well control it.

>>25171796

>>25171808
What? What happened? No I wasn't here, I don't get that network.

>>25171808
I didn't see anything sexual about the end of that, the wonderbolts are her heros, regardless of gender. Of course she's going to be amazed to be in their presence.

>>25171783
I like to imagine that ponies have accepted nihilism as the social norm and are slowly working to their own demise, what would explain why they are so carefree and godfucking happy all the time.

>>25171718

thisiswhathomosexualsactuallybelieve.png

>>25171850
True that, guess 4chan screwed my mind too much.

>>25171850
Heck, wasn't she getting in a girl-girl sandwich with those same Wondercolts at the end of her episode?

>>25171843
>HEY GUYS, DASH WENT AWAY WITH THE WONDERBOLTS BECAUSE SHE IS STRAIGHT
>NO SHE WENT WITH THEM BECAUSE THE WINNER WOULD DO SO
>NO, SHE STRAIGHT
>NO, SHE'S A LESBIAN
>NO, SHE'S BI

>>25171821
Went and re watched the scene... and I can honestly see it being either way.

I'm starting to stretch it a bit here, but what if the sun rising with her flapping was an illusion? These ponies are fucking magical, an illusion isn't that far out of bounds.

I saw people saying the end of the episode made them sad. Did it make you sad? Why? I just watched it and, for me, it seemed like the season could have ended right there.

>>25171897

"and then they fucked" is a pretty funny ending idea

>>25171825
Speaking of Pinkie Pie.
SHE KNEW ALL ALONG.
That's why she's so infatuated with Rainbow Dash.
IIRC, wasn't she the one who knew that Dash had done the Sonic Rainboom before?

Why do ponies require sexual orientation?

>>25171922

people who watched it and got sad are like that because they are forever alone

>>25171922
I don't even remember the ending. I remember Celestia saying some stuff and also Pinkie Pie being utterly ridiculous.

>>25171920
Yeah, the illusion is the only way I can see her being a trickster still, but even so, that's an impressive illusion, especially as there must be ponies watching from all over Equestria.

>>25171596
can someone please shop some horseporn into that book baby twilight is reading

>>25171939
Because without orientation, you'd be pretty dizzy, wouldn't you?

>>25171929
Pinkie Pie Is A Genius.

>>25171922
Clichés, clichés everywhere. It was also a bit too sappy for me, what happened to the dark and grimy backbone of this show? More realistic than dark and grimy, actually.

>>25171920
Honestly? I don't see why it ought to be an illusion. Even if Celestia's secretly evil, she can still be the sun goddess. I THINK there have been evil sun gods before, though it's very rare.

>>25171929
Fluttershy probably should have guessed, but the others had no reason to even know what a sonic rainboom is, much less know that a pony they'd never met did one.

>>25171718
>>25171861
Straightfag here.
I had the theory a long while back that because pony genetics seem to have a 1 male to 8 female ratio, it's not weird for girls to pair up with other girls. It's also not weird to be straight, since that's how ponies are made. (check with Lauren, she's confirmed this. "traditional mammal reproduction.")

So they don't even notice gay or straight. Also, pure innocence.

>>25171972
Post-modern, perhaps, would be a better term? I don't know. I've been led to believe that 'post-modern' refers to stuff taking itself more literally in that sense, but I've also been told otherwise.

>>25171976
>Twilight's face when Aztecs
Or was it the Mayans?

>>25171939
Because they reproduce via standard mammalian reproduction, and that requires a sex drive

>>25171976
Are you calling the Sun evil?

;_;

>>25171989
>Post-modern
It's more of a slang actually and I wouldn't use it as freely as you do. Pragmatic is what I was aiming for.

>>25171948
I remember Spike saying her message was gay and she said, "just write it down" made me lol hard

>>25171951
Magic can do all kinds of funky stuff.

>>25171976
Relax, I'm mostly just trying to work this into the continuity of my fanfic series revolving around a conspiracy that Celestia was actually in charge of the stars and was the instigator of the conflict 1000 years ago that ended in the imprisonment of Luna.

>>25172016
>it's slang
Now I'm just totally fucking confused. What IS post-modernism? I've had a good several dozen different explanations now.

>>25172037

>fanfics
>continuity

LOL

I came up with fic idea where Big Mac, tired of the of the all the broken mares he's left in his wake, seduces Twilight and gets her to cast a spell that turns the other males female to feed his lust for virgin stock.

Then, I morphed that idea into something else where he's still a villian, but less rapey

>>25172037
>the instigator of the conflict 1000 years ago
That was her daddy.

>>25172048
You have to realize that 'Modernity' in the literary/philosophical sense has been going on since the 1400s. Since the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation, there have been 'Modern' thinkers, in contrast with the 'Ancient' thinkers of the Ancient and Medieval worlds.

>>25172037
Indeed it can, but to do it to all of equestria is still goddess level stuff. If you absolutely need her to be a fraud, though, that's probably the best way to go.

>>25172060
I know right?

This series I'm doing is pretty much the first time I've taken a step away from canon by making Celestia into a Tyrant (which is pretty popular anyway). I usually try and write EU as apposed to AU.

>>25172005
Not necessarily. It could be an annual thing headed by Celestia.

>>25172048
As I am used to, post-modern is mostly used to describe the time past the fifties and is often used to describe how shit it is, but experiences may differ.

>>25171929
Does that justify chasing her like Pepe Le Pew?

DOES IT?

>>25172076
No, I mean I don't actually understand what the term means. I've encountered several differing definitions.

>>25171041

I'm actually a fa/tg/uy. I come here sometimes for the ponies and DEM HIPS Wakfu threads.

anyone got the screencap from the first episode with the ponified celestia and luna?

>>25172103
She's super ultra homogay.

>mfw thisismyfetish

>>25171985
Where is the original of this from?

>>25172104
Well, once you understand Modernity, you can understand Post-Modernity, because as its name suggests Post-Modernity is the thinking that has sprung up in the wake of what's considered to be the failure of Modernity.

Modernity's great guiding philosophy was the primacy of Human Reason and the belief in Progress. Post-Modernity looks around at our current civilization and argues that Reason hasn't really gotten us anywhere very good.

So basically, Post-Modernity is the philosophy that following Reason absolutely has led us to unhappiness and ruin. I think.

fluttershy is 15 years old in this ep and that is legal in my area so its ok for me to fap

deal with it

>>25172066
HEY
YOU FIX PROFESSOR RAPE RIGHT THIS MINUTE

>>25172104
Post-modernism is as frustrating a term as Dialectics. It takes on a different meaning based on the context its used in. Like the political leanings of a demographic population vs a personal debate, for instance.

>>25172157
It's wildly excepted that everything leads to ruin and sadness.

>>25172197
Thinking back, I think it's fucking hilarious that they just wound up listening to Twilight.

I like to think she heard about the CMC going around from one of her friends, and then she WENT OUT OF HER WAY to run into them and immediately starte telling them her story.

Because Twilight loves to explain things.

>>25172180

Surely you prefer older women sometimes?

>>25172135
Pinkie or Dash?

>>25171553

>>25172157
Essentially, yes. Post-modern is a "tag," not a category, for philosophies which criticize Modernity in some significant manner.

Post-institutionalism is the philosophy that institutions such as banks, churches, schools, and governments are more trouble than they're worth. Localism and tribalism are post-institutional ideals.

>>25171981
Just rewatched the opening. They didn't know what a sonic rainboom was.
EXCEPT FOR PINKIE PIE.
>>25172103
Well, no. But then, Pinkie's not very good at acting sane.
She's probably got some kind of creepy hero-worship for the one pegasus who can do what she always wanted to, but never could.
Make a rainbow.
>Pinkamina Diane Pie, you are now all about smiles.
>You must learn to make a rainbow.
>Oh, you're not a pegasus?
>Sucks to be you.
Maybe that's why she has all those flying contraptio-
HOLY SHIT GUYS THE BALLOONS
THEY DON'T JUST SYMBOLISE PARTIES
THEY SYMBOLISE FLYING TOO

Anyone notice that Derpy was in the crowd at Rarity's play?


>Derpy Confirmed for Marty Mcfly Syndrome.

>>25171922

I nearly cried during the episode. It was so bittersweet in a "sunrise, sunset" sort of way.

>>25172180
where is your area anyway?

>>25172013

>>25172257
Yes.

>>25172230
Oh, Twilight, you poor ronery filly.

i need download of fillyshy singing so i can listen to it forever

>>25172279
Just out and about on a calm day with the Doctor.

The TARDIS needed to be patched up and she wanted to see the play while they waited.

>>25172268
Too bad hasbro had to chop her wings off

yay!! the Pony of apocalypse in color!!

>>25172302
KAZEGAMI!

You are the most uselessest brush.

>>25172268

It's not entirely wrong to think that Pinkie does have a sort of hero crush on Dash. Pinkie does follow her around ALOT and her reaction when Dash wanted to hang out with her was just all over the place in excitement.

>>25172184
Ah...what?

>>25172279
She was also at the Summer Sun Celebration in Twilight's flashback, I think.
It wasn't the same day, but apparently she hits a lot of those festivals.

>>25172332
Are those completely original, or are they supposed to be transformations of four of the main cast, Apocalypse-style?

>>25172353

he's retarded. like more so than usual people who post in pony threads.

>>25172279
You mean parkinson's?

Just got this in the mail. Oh Ponies, what have you done to me?

I love every page of it.

>>25172354
So yeah.

Traveling with the Doctor.

>>25172375

I shouldn't be lolling but I did. I feel bad now.

>>25172332
where is Pestilence?

>>25172375
Derpy has never delivered a single letter unopened.

Because of Parkinson's.

>>25172337
>wind
>most useless
Nigga you crazy

On another note, Ammy could kick Celestia's ass.

>>25172268
Oh wait, watched 3 seconds further.
AJ knew what the SRB was, too.
Oh well, guess Dash must've bragged about it.
But that makes me think.
>Dash was the first in her class to get a cutie mark
>AJ was last in her class to get a cutie mark
>They got them at the same damn time
So, is Dash just a lot younger than AJ, or did it take a lot longer for AJ to go from Manehattan to her home, or do earth ponies just mature faster?

>>25172419
Ammy would ride those succulent cream flanks for hours and you know it.

>>25172247

but Cheerilee is the same age as the main cast

don't age the poor gal before her time

>Rarity tries to make costumes for the show
>Suddenly her horn guides her to a rock
>Sonic Rainboom happens
>She finds jewels and other shiny shit
>Episodes earlier of this, an entire episode about Rarity's ability for find them
>Photo Finnish rejects her in another episode
>Still a fashion designer
>mfw

I can't be the only one confused for this.

>>25172382
I'm so glad you bought that.
>>25172401
Pestilence and Famine are the same. So are War and Conquest.

>>25172401
Pestilence and Conquest are interchangeable depending on what denomination you are listening to.

Conquest is the most widely accepted though.

>>25172279
Old news bro

>>25172382
we dont like your kind around here bro

FiM is the only kind of ponies we like any other gen or show is shit

Latest episode was.. interesting.

Rainbow Dash is the herald of a new dawn, who literally tore the sky asunder and awoke the 6 elements of harmony. She set history into motion.. And this shit is absolutely fascinating because it means the creators are still slipping in EPIC FANTASY STORY in between slices of "silly poni tiemz"

GUYS! GUYS!

I just realized something important!

Remember that picture of the stylized solar system of Equestria, with the planet in the middle?

It had additional satellites (moons, planets) and one that looked like a comet.

So I went back to Ticket Master to put Rarity's dream hunk, Celestia's nephew, in the picture, as a joking guess

BUT THE COMET IS HIS CUTIE MARK.

HE'S REAL!

WE WILL SEE HIM AT THE GALA!

>>25172451
No. then there would only be three horsemen.

>>25172461
>shit
I can't say that one YouTube of the Sea Ponies was 'shit'. More like absolutely hilarious. Ten minutes of ponies being utter dicks to each other for no reason.

>>25172332

...I thought it was Death, War, Famine, and PESTILENCE. Where did they get Conquest?

>>25172446
>implying Ammy would touch that wannabe sun god

Hell Chibi would slap Celestia's if he had to.

>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
>>25172488
HOLY SHIT

We need to break down that stylized model further

>>25172475
She just needs a more menacing nickname and she's an Ace Pilot.

>>25172488

That's quite a stretch

i prefer him as a figment of raritys imagination

How can she sit like that?

>>25172490
Pestilence is bugs. Famine is no food. Bugs eat food.
The Rapture doesn't make any sense anyway.

>>25172450
>Rarity is still a fashion designer
Well, there are probably numerous ponies who are good at fashion. Just because it's what Rarity is best at doesn't mean she's the best of the best, and that's what it takes to make it in a bigger world.

>>25172382
That looks so cute... I'm not... My hear-

HNNHGGGGHH.

>>25172542

I like that Sweetiebelles helmet matches her eyes.

I bet Rarity bought it for her.

>>25172382
I'm still waiting on my copy.

>>25172461
I bought it for the cute artwork. I also plan to read it to my 7 year old niece sometime soon when she gets out of school. I'm sure she'll love it.

>>25170865
>Refreshed 9 times, no Pony thread?
>implying that doesn't mean that the board is moving in a positive direction

"I KNOW EVERYTHING! I AM EVERYTHING!"

I hope Twilight's awesome powers get a role in the second season, which is going to have more of a focus.

>>25172542
How can she do half the stuff she does?
She's goddam Pinkamina Diane Pie.
She doesn't need to conform to reality - yours or any other.

>>25172512

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."

>>25172431

Bothered me too. But then I thought hey, Dash and Fluttershy were in Clousdale, Applejack was in Ponyville/Manehatten.

They were in different classes.

>>25172512
... from the bible?

Pestilence is used a lot in popular media because it's an easier apocalyptic concept to convey, but he was never described in Revelations from which we get the horsemen.

Even if you don't by into the whole Christianity thing, I recommend one or two read throughs of Revelations. It's a pretty good book and a lot of different media draw concepts from there.

>>25172597
>IMPLYING YOU CAN SUCESSFULLY SAGE A PONY THREAD

So do ponies have Powerpuff hands? Because they seem to follow the same rules for picking things up.

>>25172546

The Rapture is only for American Proteshit anyways

>>25172658

Sort of

>>25172542
and how is scootaloo pulling over 5 tons of horse in that small wagon that shit just dont make any sense

>>25172658
It's magic.

any brony have a link to a torrent that has most of the episodes in a format thats not mp4?

>>25172679
It's a scooter.
They're ponies.
They weigh less than a duck.

>>25172680

No it isn't.

>>25172520
Probably could help explain why they need to use magic and manual labor to even make sure this planet keeps together.

>>25172679

Beats me

>>25172658
Nah, not quite.
They're a lot less dextrous, for one.
They use their horns or mouths for stuff that needs finesse.

>>25172658
They have thin magnetic strips embedded in their hooves.

>>25172611
That's not the same as what I know
>>25172661
See, we should knock it off

>>25172679
MAGIC.

guys guys
guys listen
guys what if
hey listen what if
there was a pony with a cutie mark that was a pony and that cutie mark pony had a cutie mark pony and so on...

>>25172720
Recursionpony?

>>25172679

Who cares? No need to over analyse a show about magical talking ponies man.

>>25172658
>>25172679
>>25172696

Of course the answer is magic

>>25172720

>>25172720

>>25172720

That's been done in image form...course I don't own that pic but it's out there.

>>25172307
>Pinkie or Dash
>Yes


what the fuck?

scoot haulin around all that pony ass meat

>>25172461
Faust was advertising this on her DA... not sure if she was involved with it, or just showing some friend's work.
Looks interesting, anyway.

>>25172720
CMC's cutie marks.

>>25172679
>five tons of horse
What?
Pinkie probably isn't over 200 kg. Sweetie and AB are both lighter, probably not over 50 kg each.
They'd have to be elephants for that number to make sense. Or hippos.

>>25172709

well thats how its seen in the king james version. The other versions have slightly different wording but all identify the white horseman as conquest/the conqueror.

Pic related, its the white horse

>>25170378

Old post, but I want to say what I think: Celestia is more powerful than Luna in general, but Luna has the specific ability to overpower Celestia. It mirrors the relationship of their celestial bodies: the sun outshines the moon, but the moon can block the sun.

I also think Luna's powers are all thematically moon-based. She showed illusion and shapeshifting (the moon steals the sun's light to appear as if it glows, and changes its "shape" through the month), and had the ability to summon lightning (the moon controls the tides and, through them, the weather).

>>25172679
i guess i could believe it a little more if she was on some kind of road but she is driving over grass and dirt

>>25172720
Every generation of ponies, the Pony Archiver is born bearing the previous Archiver as her cutie mark.
With strong enough magnification the very first Archiver, as well as the very first cutie mark, can be seen on the Archiver's flank.

>>25172679

Actually wait, Scoot is a pegasus. I've got nothing.

>>25172796
Lightning seems like something any sufficiently powerful unicorn can do.

anyone else notice that pinkie's sister is a young photo finish?

>>25172449
We seriously have a Cheerilee deficit

>>25172623
Here are my thoughts:
Fluttershy and RD are from the same class, but the bullies are older. There is no way for Dash to know when Fluttershy got her cutie mark since FS was on the surface while Dash got her cutie mark in mid-flight.

>>25172755
>asked which is lesbian, Pinkie or Dash
Yes.

>>25172829

thats a steam locomotive, not a diesel locomotive

>>25172782

>>25172782
I thought it was a pale horse, who's name sat upon him was death, and hell followed with him?

>>25172782
Isn't the King James Bible a bad translation of a bad translation of a bad translation of a bad translation? Also rewritten by about several hundred guys over the years.

ponies control the military
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/ponies-invading-marine-corps.html

>>25172658
They can't really do much with their hooves. They can push, but anything requiring more precision is either done with the mouth or horn.

>>25172909

no king james wrote it silly.

>>25172449
Rarity is as old as the rest of the cast as well. Almost all of her humanizations are bullshit now.

>>25172903

pale horse and white horse are different horses. Counter intuitive I know but what can you say

>>25172903
That is the fourth Horseman.

It goes Conquest -> War -> Famine -> Death

At least if I remember correctly.

>>25172796
I like the idea that people take the sun for granted more, because you get a whole lot more attention in popular culture paid to the Moon being something supernatural and important.

>>25172909

First time I had read the bible it had stroke me as unwitty
I think it started rumor that the Lord ain't got no humor.

>>25172829
Pegasus have a natural ability to control the net forces of a loose mass they're in contact with. This is how they can push whole clouds and lead wagons and the like without them tipping over.

>>25172872
Fluttershy got her mark after coaxing the animals out after they were scared by the sonic rainboom, rainbow dash got hers immediately after the sonic rainboom. She was first, if only by a little.

>>25172903
That's a different one. Let me grab revelations here and post the whole thing

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

seven daaays....

>>25172946
Seriously, anyone who says the Bible is a glorious piece of work has never read it.

It is THE singular most boring, tedious, longwinded, dull piece of literature ever written. Ever.

>>25172960
That's from the new international version of course.

>>25172488

BANNED, like Luna.....

Celestia sure likes to rule.

>>25172980
Revelations is pretty cool. the rest of it is pretty meh.

>>25172956
No no no, Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark FOR GIVING ALL THE OTHERS THEIRS

AND making a legend come true

AT THE SAME TIME

>>25172829
She's got wings. While rainbow dash is more developed and skilled, her wings *are* strong enough to break the sound barrier, so scootaloo propelling a small cart at a reasonable speed isn't too far fetched.

>>25172872
Whoops didn't mean to send yet.

The trip between Manehatten and Ponyville takes over a day by foot (or hoof). When she got back, she would be the last of the cast to get her cutie mark (or at least second to last since Pinkie Pie spent a day preparing a party).

AJ might also be implied to be the oldest or at least second oldest after Fluttershy, who is going through a spurt. She did not have her cutie mark since there was no way she could discover her talent with animals in Cloudsdale.

>>25172956
Given the height difference between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, FS could also be in a different class meant for younger fillies.

>>25173005
You can clearly see it, she gets the mark immediately after the sonic rainboom, wheras all of the others get their marks at least a few minutes later. Either cutie marks can be awarded for events that have yet to happen, or hers was for the rainboom.

>>25172546

Pestilence is DISEASE you moron.

>>25172980
Speaking as an atheist, Revelations is awesome.
>seven-eyed, seven-horned lamb with its entrails hanging out
>angel the size of Gojira's mom, wrapped in raiments of cloud and veils of rainbow, and its voice is like the roar of a lion
Shit yes.

>>25173004
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of literary devices therein that are pretty much the roots of so fucking many modern story-telling clichés. But the wording of it is so damned long-winded and uninteresting.

>>25172872
They weren't in the same class.
Fluttershy was a year ahead Dash.
She was at flight camp for a second year because she was so terrible at flying.

>>25173015
>FS could also be in a different class meant for younger fillies.
I meant older.

Also, I'm going to correct myself here: They were at a camp, which is not the same as a school.

>>25173035
She didn't just break the sound barrier. She broke the laws of causality.

>>25172980
>He never read Ulysses

anyone else think it was bullshit that granny smith would send a 4 year old little girl alone to walk to the city at night

>>25173047
yeah revelations angels were more like lovecraftian horrors made of wings, eyeballs and fire than anything human.

For God's sake, it's REVELATION. No s at the end.

>>25173047
Hell yeah, some of the old testament angels are win squared. People forget about the whole fire and brimstone thing.

>>25173065
>She broke the laws of causality

>>25173088
Not according to the matrix it isn't.

>>25172909
well yah but that is not the point

It was awesome. Everybody was getting raped and enslaved by the end of Troy.

Ah, Troy. The city that got absolutely clusterfucked all because some dickbat of a man was stupid enough to bang a married woman.

All this biblical chat sure is refreshing and such but could I bother you fellas for some more screencaps from the new episode?

I thought it was bullshit Granny wasn't young and hot

>>25173081
>>25173047

Angels are described as being pretty fugly looking throughout the bible, not just in revelations.

Only good looking angels int the bible i know of are the ones that greeted the Marys at Jesus' tomb.

You know cherubs? Those little baby angel looking things? Yeah, no. Four faces and four wings, with straight feet with a sole like the sole of a calf's foot, and "hands of a man" under their wings. Each had four faces: The face of a man, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle.

Courtesy of Ezekiel

>>25173088
Oh, sorry.
It's called "The Revelation of Johannes" in Danish, and I've never read it in English.
>>25173081
Azrael (muslim angel of death, IIRC) is described as having "ten thousand wings, and a tongue and an eye for each living person."
I like to think it doesn't actually have anything else.
Just an amorphous mass of wings and several billion eyes and tongues, casting a shadow over the entire countryside wherever in goes and filling the air with the endless intonations of the names of the dying.

>>25173181
Amen.

>>25173107
>Raping the horses

>>25173138

Are people here discussing the bible?
In a MLP thread?


Reminds me of /u/ Serenity threads

>>25173200
Then there's the Seraphim (I think?) that are just giant wheels with eyes.

>>25173216
You should see /u/ discussing the lesbianism in ancient Egyptian mythology.

No really.

>>25173107
I think he meant a book called Ulysses, not the Odyssey...

Also that does not make it an awesome story. The cool part ended with the Illyad, when all the cool warriors died.

>>25173200

Even though Azrael is pretty scary looking. He's actually a cool dude in the Quran.

>>25173184
The only good-looking angel was Lucifer

>>25173238
Oh yeah

Doujins fucking where?

>>25173228
No, Seraphim were fairly humanoid. they are described in Isaiah as having sex wings, two which covered there eyes and two which covered their feet and the other two to fly.

They acted as heralds, announcing the arrival of God when he was making a personal appearance.

But there are angels that look like wheels covered in eyes, I just don't remember which ones they were.

>>25173185
It was Summer Flight Camp
Not Junior Speedsters Camp
Fluttershy would never make it into Junior Speedsters

>>25173243
For some reason, I am reminded of a weird 80s/early 90s animé/cartoon thing that was basically the Odyssey/Ulysses story, but IN SPAAAAACE

>>25173238

haha, is /u/ a secret covert board for discussing mythology or something?

is there a board i can go and discuss filmography that isn't /tv/ for example?

>>25173250

You forget the angels from the story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The population wanted to have secret butt fun with said angels and everyone died.

Judeo Christian mythology is just hilarious sometimes.

>>25173184
I like that way better than chubby curly-haired babies.

>>25173250
Him, Michael and Gabriel are all supposed to be pretty dashing.

But then Lucifer sided with Satan (contrary to polular belief, they might not be the same personh) and fell to the earth.

But yeah, Arch Angels are the Bishounen of heaven.

>They ship lesbian
>Laughingfillies.jpg

>>25173261
No doujins yet.

But yeah, after the unification of Upper and Lower kingdoms, two of the cults were also unified and there was some (basically) 'canonficcing' going on to say that the two goddesses are now BFFs.

Married.

>>25173228
Nah, the Seraphim are pretty normal-looking. They're the guys with three sets of wings - one to cover their eyes so they don't get blinded by the glory of God, one set to fly with, and one to cover up their feet (or genitals, depending on translation).
I think the fire-wheel angels are called thrones.

>>25173246
Still, I feel sorry for the Egyptians, assuming Muslim tradition has Moses' story happening the same was.

Doubles and I post this video on my facebook page.
http://youtu (dot) be/WhOlAU4t9Hs

Weird Al + Ponies = Amazing

>>25173293
wait is THAT what happened? I thought they were just having secret butt fun with themselves.

>>25173317

then why not post that image you twit?

>>25173246
Not to sound like a terrorist, but the Quran is way cooler than the Bible. Efreet instead of Angel

>>25173317

But where do they ship it TO?

>>25173250

Nothing mentioned they were male, or female...doesnt matter.

What matters was that everyone was getting raped back then. I blame the weather.

It's probably not biblically accurate, but Bayonetta had some pretty freakish angel designs. Especially the bosses.
also, why haven't I seen a Bayonetta pony yet?

That's mostly from Paradise Lost by Milton. It's basically religious fanfiction

Okay, forget what I said about inaccurate.

Actually, Lucifer was referred to as the "Morning Star," and when he rallied the dissenting angels of Heaven against God, he was cast out into the pit. The title of Satan is probably just something we gave to the idea of an ultimate evil.
Of course, when you think about it, Lucifer was set up to act as an opposing force for the so-called "supreme good." He's just doing the task assigned to him by God.
Just a theory I've run across, anyway, and it does make a bit of sense.
