So, why'd our thread 404?

>Flash and awesome thread in general
>Someone deletes it
FUCK

No idea. But I promise you, IT WAS NOT MY DOING.

OH NOES! that was a trap!

Probably another troll.

That or the mods are being weird.

Goddamnit mods, we were talking to one of the people who actually works on the show!

Flash, hope you're still there.

That was weird.
Anyway ponies.

>>25481071
>troll
>Mods
Oh god they are combining!

>>25481067
I smell MOOT on here

lol faggots

>>25481067
FUCKING LIER!
I WAS ABOUT TO GET LAID!

Wow... someone is an asshole

Now watch as the mods delete this thread in favor for the one getting spammed by Tank.

Rules for newfags

1) All terminology is hence forth not allowed (including the word "brony", especially)

2) Do not take up a name or trip no matter what, even if you want to share art or fanfiction

3) Stay in the threads on /co/, only quickly browse Equestria Daily for new info you may have missed on /co/. Stay far away from ponychan at all costs.

4) "Love and Tolerance" is a part of the /b/ branch of the fandom and nothing you have to (or should even attempt to) abide by. Treat these threads like any other thread on 4chan and if someone's being a cunt or going against the rules don't hold back to call them out on it.

5) Never bring up Feeling Pinkie Keen ever.

6) Any and all frry related artwork or stories or posts should be saged, reported and hidden. If you see someone trying to make a case supporting it being allowed, fuck them.

7) NO AVATAR FAGGING

There's more but that's a good starting list.

>>25481102
We all were spark. We all were.

Here comes another Chinese earthquake.

Wait, I was a late arrival, Flash was a staff member?

MY APPROXIMATE REACTION

Okay well I'm gonna post what I had before... some of the replies might not make sense, and I probably missed a shit-tonne of questions.

>>25480621
Mmmmm inasmuch as some of us have responded to the fan response to them, yes. But at least one crew member is definitely having fun with Lyra, given how many funky poses she ends up in.

>>25480648
Yes. Until the internet noticed her, I'm pretty certain nobody on-staff (except the person who posed her out) knew she was even there in that first episode.

>>25480657
Yeah, I was waiting for the fanfic question. I regret to say to anyone who recommended a bunch of stories to me the last time I was here... I never read any of them. Didn't have any time. I haven't even read any webcomics in months (until the last week or so).

>>25480688
I'm sure there are no plans to change Pinkie Pie's core trait.

>>25480689
I'll probably be dumping a lot more of the "noticed" bg ponies into my scenes (and cloning them less frequently) now that I know which ones people like.

>>25480713
Well it's partly because the episodes are staggered - the directors/Lauren can only approve so much at a time, so there's a bottleneck there. But, yeah, pretty much. There's a fairly small crew in each department. I don't know about scripts, but boards get 5 weeks, builds probably get 3 weeks, design gets... I don't know how long, layout gets 3 weeks, animation 3 weeks, then there's.. all the other stuff. It adds up.

>>25480755
Yep. I've already mentioned that I dig MadMax and MS's stuff, but I also really like Noel's work (haven't seen her around), and Disco is frickin' amazing. And funny. I've saved some images with subject matter I never thought I'd save, because they're just that well drawn.

Excellent

I'll just leave this here...

Was that necessary mod/janitor?
For once we actually discussed the show!

>>25481111
lol

he's gone...like a leaf on the wind...

It seems that our last thread had a
RAINBOW CRASH
It doesn't make sense for me to like every hint of an antagonist on this show. I mean come on. Gilda, Trixie, The bullies, the Dragons, The Diamond dogs. Maybe I just have a thing for bad people.

>>25481102
'Liar'.

Hey, when the boards give you lemons, you know what to do, right?

Reposting question for Flash:

You mentioned that 'you guys' don't think much of Pokey, and one of the annons brought up the 10-chapter novel that someone wrote explaining his backstory (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/truth-about-pokey-pierce.html , for any bronies who don't know what I'm talking about) What do you think of that?

Really, I just want to know what you think in general of some of the really long fics people have written. I assume you don't have the time (or inclination?) to read them, but what do you think just of the fact that they exist and that fans put so much time and effort into writing MLP fanfiction?

>>25481128

>most of the staff are at least somewhat aware of Lyra and Bon-Bon's popularity
>FitP is going to try to make cloning happen less often

>>25481128
is it true you all cannot accept fan ideas for legal reasons? I.e. we can't suggest ideas to you all?

>>25481163
HAVE A LEMON PARTY?!?!

>>25481128
>I'll probably be dumping a lot more of the "noticed" bg ponies into my scenes (and cloning them less frequently) now that I know which ones people like.

Awesome

>>25481163
Burn his house down with them?

>>25481146
"Like a ship blown from it's mooring from a distant wind, like a seed dropped from a Sky-Bird in a distant wood..."

>>25481128
Quick question:
Do you have a favorite NOT pony character?
Like a monster/pet/or whatevs.
Besides Spike.

>>25481134
No, the OP of a thread can delete it as well.

4chan never bothered implementing a feature saying WHY a thread was deleted... it really makes moding fall unnoticed a lot of the time, good and bad - and is much too prone killing actual discussions. (On all boards)

>>25481128
more noticed background ponies? excellent

>>25481128
>I've saved some images with subject matter I never thought I'd save

>>25481128
It has been a while since I've seen you here.

>>25481192
With the damn lemons!

>>25481128
I'll take care of that:

>Have any other staff members made comments referring to either Lyra or Bon-Bon? Or any of the background characters really (except Derpy. I think it's pretty obvious at this point that everyone on the staff has acknowledged her).
Mmmmm inasmuch as some of us have responded to the fan response to them, yes. But at least one crew member is definitely having fun with Lyra, given how many funky poses she ends up in.

>I noticed the "derp eyed" pony make a few more appearances that weren't in the background. Was this done in response to the fans obsessing over the background character?
Yes. Until the internet noticed her, I'm pretty certain nobody on-staff (except the person who posed her out) knew she was even there in that first episode.

>Really, I just want to know what you think in general of some of the really long fics people have written. I assume you don't have the time (or inclination?) to read them, but what do you think just of the fact that they exist and that fans put so much time and effort into writing MLP fanfiction?

>Not really much of a question, but will you guys make sure that Pinkie Pie always stays SO RANDOM? Her wacky cartoon takes are the best thing. n_n
I'm sure there are no plans to change Pinkie Pie's core trait.

People were complaining about pony spam blocking out the sun, when there were two threads, one which was high jacked by Tank and the other in auto sage. So yea, mods not checking things out before hitting delete

>>25481133
.......I'm sorry.....no.
That makes no sense.
I don't care if its for donation purposes. I mean cool, the moneys going for a good cause but you people have too much money to be spending on sketches of ponies. Even if it is Lauren Frickin Fantastic Faust

>>25481133
>6200
oh my....

>>25481128
Score, he's still here.
Quick question, and it's perfectly reasonable if overlooked: how the devil do you spell the names of Celestia's pet Phoenix and that bloody owl? There's probably about five different spellings for each of them...

why did it 404?

Anyway, what do you think what the fandom did to Lyra and Bon Bon?

>>25481205
I kinda doubt Jesus deleted the thread. He's crazy, not an ass.

>>25481128
I don't have any questions, just a comment saying it's pretty awesome that the creators/production staff of this show actually interacts with the fanbase. It's pretty amazing.

>>25481222
Continued:

>You should give Carrot Top more screen time next season
>She is badass as fuck
>Or fuel my Bonon/Lyra ship
I'll probably be dumping a lot more of the "noticed" bg ponies into my scenes (and cloning them less frequently) now that I know which ones people like.

>But, you aren't even having to redraw everything. Do the voices and scripts take that long?
Well it's partly because the episodes are staggered - the directors/Lauren can only approve so much at a time, so there's a bottleneck there. But, yeah, pretty much. There's a fairly small crew in each department. I don't know about scripts, but boards get 5 weeks, builds probably get 3 weeks, design gets... I don't know how long, layout gets 3 weeks, animation 3 weeks, then there's.. all the other stuff. It adds up.

>Do you have any favorite artists?
Yep. I've already mentioned that I dig MadMax and MS's stuff, but I also really like Noel's work (haven't seen her around), and Disco is frickin' amazing. And funny. I've saved some images with subject matter I never thought I'd save, because they're just that well drawn.

Damn it feels good to leave autoupdated threads open.

>>25481228
Perhaps some celebs like ponies?

Posted this right before the thread 404'd (just my luck) so I'm going to post it again.

The fact that MLP is tied for the top ratings on The Hub really makes me wonder what kind of people the non-internet demographic is made up of. I personally have only watched it on TV once, but I did so with my fifteen year old sister-in-law (she didn't even like MLP when she was younger), my five year old nephew, and twenty three year old brother-in-law, and we all loved it.

>>25481242
Jesus died for our ponies

>>25481128

Is it strange to think that the show you're making has gained such fame?

Is looking at 4chan at your studio considered strange?

>>25481133
/you_will_never_bee_good_enough_to_see_pencil_sketches_for_thousands.jpeg

>>25481128
Also, can you give everyone on the staff a high five from me.
Yes, even the smelly guy.

Wait, Flash was around?

>>25481128

What does the studio think of Trixie FlashInThePan? For a one shot character, she has become quite popular.

My guess is a mod saw the Mini Marvels hijack thread that had ponies as the OP, and deleted both of them.

>>25481241
There are two threads.

One is abandoned though, it's being spammed to death. They decided we wanted to stay in THAT one I guess.

>>25481241

It 404'd because there's another thread getting spammed by a tripfag named Tank

The mod saw two pony threads, and thought it'd be amusing to delete the bigger one

>>25481251
terrible idea

>>25481128
please don't clone the doctor

>>25481128
>>25481128

Haha aww, thank you! I'm all warm and fuzzy and a little bit "Well crap, how did he see my art?"

And yeah, Disco will do that to you. The man is crazy talented.

>>25481280
Other one's still there.

Hey Flash do you have any of the toys?

>>25481242
Wasn't me!

>>25481275

He's here right now. answering questions.

>>25481287
But they are LOADED with money and cocaine.

>>25481275

He's still here

Go see the thread that just got deleted in the archive

>>25481119
How about I do whatever the fuck I want and you go back to /v/ with your autismal butthurt.

>>25481300

Hi Noel.

Why do I not see an inked version of Sisters Futa yet

Hmmm co?

I am NOT the only drawfag here. Nor the best

>>25481303
Oh, well then that is a load of balls.

>>25481128
Hey Flash! Long time, no see! I just want to say that you are a total bro.

I had a question I really wanted to ask you, but I can't remember it now, so I suppose I'll just lurk for a bit until I remember.

>>25481344
sounds more like MS to me

>>25481128

Glad you stayed with us. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions!

As for mine: how harmonious a workplace was the the FiM group during season one? Did you and your coworkers/superiors get along pretty well, or were there big egos/blowups/shoutfests (and if so, could you tell us about them? Even if you can't name names, gossip is fun).

I actually have a question myself, Flash. When you started working on the show, did you ever think that the show would be popular as it is now?

>>25481128

Who voices the super minor backgrounders anyway? We have heard voices change before.

>>25481349
You crazy? There's flash to talk to!

>>25481179
Weeellll, cloning will still be necessary for really big crowd scenes. And... it will only be in my scenes. And maybe other people laying them out, those people who care. It's reeeeally easy to get a crowd shot in your scene list, grab six incidental ponies, and then just spam'em all over the place. It happens. Sometimes lazy, sometimes just... that's how it has to go.

>>25481181
Well, I haven't been told this specifically, but it's not really something they tell the front-line staff anyway, since there's little reason (UNTIL NOW) to expect that there'd be enough of a fan-base to actually interact with. It does open a can of worms, maybe? Dunno. Law ain't my thing.

>>25481204
Hmm. I think Gummy's pretty funny. But I haven't really though too much about it. ... Probably Gummy.

>>25481218
Yeah, sorry dawg. I've been crazy busy with work and some other projects. Also, I don't like to come into these threads without any art to offer, so I need some time to at least do ONE drawing.

>>25481232
No clue. I think I saw someone say "Filimina" (derived from "Filament") which I kinda liked... but.. I've never seen the script so I couldn't say. I checked the build, but her name was totally different. I don't remember what it was, though.

>>25481263
>Is looking at 4chan at your studio considered strange?
Its probably not the sort of thing I would do at my choice of employment.

Especially with regards to what we're sometimes prone to do. Just look at /vp/ if you want to look at examples of a large single franchise; haha.

>>25481362

Can't be. I'm the one who said hi.

>>25481128
Flash - What do you think of all the ships? How about 34?

Sincerely,
A Ship Collector

>>25481285
we were 2 images away from the image limit anyway

>>25481349
Because we're trying to behave ourselves while the nice staff member is here. If we scare them away, they don't come back.

>>25481373
>rainbow_dawwwsh

That made me giggle.

Question for flash

I'm not sure if you're allowed to answer this, but here goes:

I know that Hasbro was responsible for giving Celestia the title of Princess, story structure, and has tried to push some ponies into the spotlight, but do they have any say in the actual plots of the episodes and/or do they give you any guidelines/suggestions to follow.

Just off the top of my head, I notice that Rarity has had, I dunno, five or so episodes where she played a major role, while someone like Applejack has had three episodes, two of which she was sharing the spotlight with another pony. Are these things that Hasbro suggests (IE: More Rarity, less Applejack) or is it just the way things happened to turn out?

>>25481283
>>25481285
I wouldn't say spamming, more increasing the possible quality of the thread.

>>25481373
Do you have to make each ponie with each body part or do you have multiple background ponies that look different already drawn or is there some type of script that randomizes their line and fill

What is it

>>25481153
The little bullies were adorable.

>>25481373
Do you have a least favorite episode?

>>25481373

Asking again

Have you met Tabitha? Does her voice give you goosebumps?

Does she know how much the internet loves her for her amazing voice?

sage

what do you think of john joseco?

>>25481373
Alas. And thank you for taking the time to answer such a nit-picky question.

Pony Time, shooooooo nuff.

>>25481373

hey flash! what do you think of trollestia

So, just finished watching all the eps so far, gotta say, I'm impressed. Quite fond of all of them, particularly Fluttershy, but excluding Pinkie.

Hmm hmm, damn sure I'm the only one on my list of bud's that's even looked in this series' directions, but oh well, guess I'll geek out about it on my own.

so, what do y'all do in these threads, /co/? I don't come around these often.

>>25481390
I really wish people would stop asking this to everyone. Worst case scenario Flash answers "No I hate all of it and you people are sick."

>>25481434
I'm enjoying that thread, keep it up please.

>>25481373

&hash=item4158ca8aa8&autorefresh=true

Flash, did you see this yet? Lauren's Twilight just sold for an astounding $6200.

>>25481373

That's why I said "less often." I don't expect you to cut it out entirely, but even a very slight effort on your part is worth celebrating to me.

As long as it isn't the same pony used more than three times (and it isn't the popular background ponies like Lyra, Bon-Bon, Pokey, etc) then I don't care at all.

>>25481468
Right now we're having a back and forth with one of the animators.

Gets pretty awesome around here sometimes.

>>25481468
Talk about ponies, the show and all that jazz.

>>25481469
Sorry if I missed it if he already answered this... Just curious. I'd like to know if it really bothers people.

>>25481373

Are some of the scenes involving background ponies planned out, or it is entirely up to whomever makes the scene?

>>25481390
he answered the shipping question in the last thread:

>Nope. I once started reading a fan-fic (because why not) and then I couldn't finish it once they started kissing. I think a couple of the staff are sorta half-assedly into it, for the laffs, but ... probably not? Or if they are, they don't share it at work. FluttertreeXBloomberg OTP

>>25481505
More like all the time

>>25481157
To can play at this game!

>>25481373
Well, here's a question I'm not sure you can answer, but...
Are there any curveballs to be thrown at us in season 2? Has the show changed in any way in response to the fandom? Can we at least expect a bunch of little nods?

Okay, that was more like 3 questions, but yeah.

>>25481254
Yeah, I know there are target-demographic kids out there who are watching the show. And... as for the ratings on HUB, I SHOULD qualify that with the fact that it was total hearsay, and for all I know Hasbro was just telling our studio that so we would keep doing stuff. (... We're doing all the new Pound Puppies stuff, too.. everything from episode 8 onwards. Hasbro decided to give us the rest of the series.)

>>25481279
As with Pokey, I think most of the studio doesn't really think much of her. Although the people who worked on that ep probably remember her better.

>>25481307
Yup. A lot of people at least have the McDonald's toys. Or, at least one or two of them. Or one or two of the little moulded plastic ones.

>>25481364
Haha! Even if there were gossip, I wouldn't talk about it. But there wasn't really much drama that I remember. Some people were really overworked, though... especially some of the animators. It's a hard show.

>>25481365
I never, ever, ever thought it would become this popular.

>>25481370
Yeah, the incidental ponies don't actually have specific voices or voice profiles assigned to them. I would guess it's just... whatever actor is handy?

>>25481531
Already answered that one.

It's pretty much the layout person's decision, unless there's something specific needed in the scene, which doesn't happen too often.

>>25481511
huuhuuhuhuhuhuhuhhuh

>>25481468

>dont come round that often

You're in luck, one of the animators is in this thread right now

He doesnt post here very often. You hit the jackpot

>>25481511
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO POST PORN
THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT MAGIC AND FRIENDSHIP AND PONIES AND SYMBOLISM AND CHARACTER ARCHITYPES AND RAINBOWS AND MASHMELLOWS AND CANDY AND HUGS AND KISSES.

>Quite fond of all of them, particularly Fluttershy, but excluding Pinkie.
>excluding Pinkie

Give it time. Your opinion will change.

Especially since TOMORROW IS A PINKIE PIE EPISODE. HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS EVERYONE.

>>25481563
Porn ALWAYS has reason.

ALSO.

I HAVE A DRAWFRIEND REQUEST.

As you all probably know, the ponies all have the exact same model (except for differences in hair and eye shapes), for production reasons. But we've seen a bunch of other body shapes in the show for certain show-specific incidentals.

What I'd love to see is some alternate versions of the main cast ponies-- like. If we'd had the time and money to give them all totally unique designs, what might they have looked like? I'm not talking about bells and whistles for nothing - if RD and AJ wind up looking almost the same because they're both athletes, that's fine.

... If someone does this, could you make sure it winds up on Equestria Daily? I often skim the drawfriend posts and other things there.

>>25481563
Didn't you just draw a picture of SweetieBell fucking Rarity in the ass in the last thread?

>>25481552

>I think most of the studio doesn't really think much of her.

>>25481563
>Why?
because.

>>25481552
I am sorry if this was asked before:

Do you visit any other pony related sites, like EquestriaDaily and if yes, how often?

>>25481505
>>25481561
Oh, neat. Hello, then, Mr.Flash, ha ha.

well, guess I'll catch up with the thread and browse /co/ a lil' more often, then

I hope these questions are answerable...
Will the same people be working on the background music? I've seen videos of just the background music for some of the ponies, and it is actually very calming to listen to.

Will Daniel Ingram be composing the songs for season 2?

>>25481607
Totally irrelevant.

>>25481552
Wait, you're also working on Pound Puppies?
Hell, sooner or later, you guys will own the Hub!

>>25481603
You're probably going to get about 8 people fulfilling this.

It will be glorious.

>>25481552
Well keep working yourselves to death bro, cause it's worth it. This cartoon is really a gem - you're making an animation that will be remembered fondly for a long time, by many people!

>>25481552
So... what's with the gender transformation of Caramel?

>>25481611

I wonder if the studio has any love for any of the side or background characters at all.

>>25481603
I'm pretty sure every single artist lurking is more than happy to give this a go, haha.

>>25481552
You said other animators draw off-coloured pony art. Any chance of sharing some of those?

>>25481603

Oh how I wish I was artistic instead of autistic.

Well, not really, but I still can't draw.

>>25481552
I'd ask a question, but I got nothing

So instead, I'll just say a thank you to you and the crew for all the hard work you guys do on this series. You guys have crafted a fantastic animated show here (but you already knew that)

So many stiffly animated, cynistic jerkface crap on TV right now. FIM is a cartoon in its truest form. Expressful, wacky, funny, and fun.

>>25481552
>>25481552
Pound Puppies confirmed for soon to be good.

>>25481644

And then they will release their own version of adult-oriented alternative cartoons, to compete with [adult swim], and we will have our little ponies dealing with mature situations (not those kind of situations you pervert, stop having such a dirty mind, what the fuck is wrong with you).

And it will be glorious.

>>25481607
It's principles. This is a Q&A thread now, not T&A.

>>25481684
It's only the animations, not the writers. It's just going to be a polished turd.

Trixie was shit compared to Gilda in terms of antagonists anyway.

>>25481603
Thanks for stopping by Flash, you and your team are doing an excellent job

'sup, Flash.

Hey, FitP, I noticed an adult pony in the background once. It looks suspiciously like an adult scootaloo, Is this just a coincidence or did the character design of scoots come from this background pony?

>>25481684
Good animation doesn't mean a good show.

Writers are still one of the biggest influences on show quality

>>25481603
I'm on it!

>>25481667
well, Flash just said that when he does the layout, he will put our favoirte background ponies, with 20% less clonning

>>25481572
Don't feed the troll, Jacob. They thrive on attention.

>>25481656
>>25481656

Hey Flash, do you know if Luna will be appearing in the last episode? I know that Faust has said that she'll be appearing in S2, but it seems like too large of an event for a royal to miss.

If it's something you can't talk about, please disregard.

>>25481721

Well, if it isn't RagingSemi!

>>25481724
I always saw her as a butch earth pony Rarity.

>>25481603

Rainbow Dash

>>25481552

So, you don't think much about Pokey. Or Trixie. Fair enough.

Are there any background ponies or minor characters that you DO really like, or are they all just 'yeah, whatever?' I can understand being blase about them as a group, but surely one of them must have stuck out to you.

>>25481747

Meh, when Applebuck Season aired, the director sent out a studio-wide IM broadcast sending everyone to 4chan to see the feedback.

>>25481414
My guess is that this is just how it turned out. I really have no idea, but that's the kind of thing that would get hashed out in the script-writing process, and that's so far-removed from me that it may as well be on Mars.

>>25481437
There are no scripts - it would be impossible to control and would look like pony-vomit. Any idea of how many random iterations it would take to wind up with an appealing design/colour scheme? A zillion, I bet. Well, it could be just two or three, but that would be lucky.

>>25481453
Haven't met her, the voice acting happens on a different floor, sadly. So I have no idea if she knows what the internet thinks of her.

>>25481457
A lot of good stuff, a lot of stuff that doesn't interest me so much, but... well, I'm just hella-impressed at the sheer volume he cranks out. Good heavens.

I'll do it anyway.

Don't you have a new name or something.

I wasn't paying attention.

>>25481727

This is how I feel about Superjail. The animation is improved (subjective really, some people prefer the old less fluid animation) but I personally don't like how Titmouse is trying to make each episode feel more complex. I don't watch Superjail to connect with the characters, it's just not the point of the damn show.

BUUUUUUUUUUUT I don't want to start an off-topic shitstorm while FitP is here so please disregard I suck cocks etcetera.

Pic related.

>>25481845

Yes, but I'm not sure if everybody noticed.

Bacon and eggs has a yellow body, lighter mane color, completely different hair style, a completely different eye color, and has no wings.

>>25481890
>scoots is purple and orange

also wingless


Hey Flash, is it intentional that these ponies always appear together? (AJ and Rarity, PP and RD)
someone said something about contrasting

>>25481819
>did you not see the post when I said I've saved some of Disco's ... most graphic work? It doesn't bother me, and I don't even notice. (No time to really look at the images anyway, haha

That is hysterical.

Since you do pick up Disco's work every now and again, are you missing this one?
The guy is our resident monkey's paw, so every request has to be worded rather specifically. And if you word it too specifically, well, he decides to make it ridiculous anyway.

Question for Flash:

What do you think of all the indie games for FiM coming out by the fans? We have the 2d MMO, a 3d MMO, a stand alone MMO, the MLP:FiM Flash Game, anything catch your eye?

Daily Roll. If this post ends in 1-5, I watch another episode of ponies. If it ends in 6-9 or 0, I retain my heterosexuality for another day.

Episodes watched: 17

>>25481875
Never leave.

>>25481875

Oh wow, you're drawing on plain white now? excellent, everything looks cleaner.

>>25481950

I like the burn, but I don't know why people are surprised.

>>25481952
What he said.

>>25481966
well would you look at that

>>25481819

My reading comprehension is balls at 12:30, I didn't know you were an animator. Sorry for asking a story related question then.

>>25481966
Don't give a shit about you today, you didn't succeed in your roll anyway, so...

Bye!

>>25481730

I kind of like seeing multiple Derpi

Hey Flash, if you guys are working on Pound Puppies now, are you going to keep the secret butt fun

>>25481906
that's...interesting.

>>25481930

>>25481923

Yeah it's been out for weeks now bro. Titmouse is in charge of it now, so the animation and writing have undergone some noticeable changes.

I don't want to dwell on it for too long because both sides - those who prefer the changes and those who dislike them - seem pretty butthurt over the whole thing. I don't like the new season as much as the first, but it's still enjoyable.

So yeah, let's go back to talking about ponies, before the thread is derailed.

>>25481966
Wow, This is the first time In a while I've had to find something else to do. I've got a question for you weirdos though. Why does Fluttershy sometimes forget she can fly?

>>25481966
If you were sure that you are heterosexual, you'd watch all of the episodes without "turning gay"

>>25481966
Oh balls, you. Out. No time for your shenanigans tonight. You can just sit quietly in the corner for now.

>>25481944

Her body is only slightly lighter than scoots, the hair and eyes are almost identical, and the different hair style can be explained as just a different hair style. I'm not saying it's supposed to be her, just too similar to be coincidence.

>>25481633
Nooooo clue. Probably?

>>25481658
Yeah, dude. Those of us who pay any attention to the internet have been really heartened by responses like "This show has made me happy again." ... And here I thought it was going to be my darkest moment of corporate shillery (until I actually started working on it, of course.)

>>25481660
Different people working on different scenes, without telling each other about a random colour swap they did on a BG pony? ... But I prefer the Fanon.

>>25481670
Haaaaaahaha, no way in hell. That kind of thing doesn't even last long around the studio, really. Not everyone's into it.

>>25481684
Pound Puppies confirmed to be slightly higher budget. The other studio had a lot of factors working against them, so I don't want to badmouth... but I do think it will be at least a little better, yes.

>>25481724
Gotta be a coincidence. But I'm not sure where she comes from, since she's not in the general file for incidental ponies (that I remember). She must be elsewhere, like "incidental_party_pony" or something.

>>25481771
Well, Trixie isn't really a backgrounder. Pokey would really have only shown up to whoever worked on the scene, and (for us) as a silly gag. (Sorry, guys.) But yeah, I'm sure everyone has BG ponies that they like to put in scenes more often, just because their designs appeal more or less. I always liked both Derpy and Lyra, before the show even started airing.

>>25481819
Flash:

I'd like to put in my vote for more Vinyl Scratch (the DJ pony). I also agree with >>25481730

>>25481944
>yellow body, lighter mane color,
Too much time out in the sun

Changed it as she got older, easily done.

I like that name for disco. I THINK ILL TAKE IT.
Ya know, if thats okay..

It's great to see you back, FlashintheP. I'm going to go through the archive and see what you've mentioned. By the way, selfish question here, still reading fanfics?

>>25481906
Oh god, I think I'm gonna puke!

>>25481953

>The guy is our resident monkey's paw, so every request has to be worded rather specifically. And if you word it too specifically, well, he decides to make it ridiculous anyway.

Nothing can save your request from damnation if Disco wants to do something crazy with it. All you can do is cross your fingers.

That's it. I'm gonna have to watch some episodes now.

>>25482015

She doesn't like flying. She's more comfortable on the ground. Plus, when she's nervous, her wings auto-constrict and she can't fly anymore (see: Dragonshy)

I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to accomplish here, brah. I mean, it's hard to say for sure if you even like the show. And yet here you are in every thread. Oh well. At least you aren't trolling.

>>25482025

>>25482091
why are you pointing us to the Mini Marvels thread?

>>25482025

>I always liked both Derpy and Lyra, before the show even started airing

But you said nobody noticed Derpy until after we had made such a commotion over her.

No, no, no, this doesn't add up at all!

>>25482122
I told you, I roll to see if I watch more ponies.

>>25482180
Bright Eyes was liked before she became Derpy.

>>25481971
No. Goodbye for now.

>>25482025

When you're working on the show, what's your daily schedule like? Are you going into work 9-5-ish, or do you have completely bonkers hours, or what?

>>25482180
I did

>>25482180
He liked her, but didn't realize her eyes were derped in that one scene.

Flash I do have one question.
do you expect this guy to return?
Also. Does he even have a name?
Some how I was under the impression that his name was Hyde. I'm not sure where I got that. If that is his name then we need some 70s show crossovers.

Why do pony threads even exist?

WAT

>>25482091
Cool broken links, bro.

>>25482180
Doesn't mean that the animators don't play favorites. It's just that she wasn't popular until that scene (which happened to be one of her first shots).

>>25482025
Flash:

If it makes any difference, I LOVED Suited for Success for the costumes. More costumes/clothing would be greatly appreciated.

>>25482180

That's silly

The production team can like her because of her colours and such

The phillipine studio had already nicknamed her 'stoneface' before the show had even aired

>>25482182

For what purpose? Isn't there anything better you' could be doing inste--

Oh wait.

>>25482180
I guess he liked her design...can you blame the guy? She is a recolor of Rainbow Dash, the very best pony, after all

kturtle is so awesome.

>>25481791
It's cool. It doesn't have to be soon. I'd love to see what you whip up.

Oh! And Applejuice! I didn't notice those, because the posts were so short and I'm kinda skimming past the pictures. Funny! (And fast, holy crap.)

>>25481848
Haven't seen any of the new Superjails yet. One of my buddy's really stoked on it, though. I did see a clip, though. Holy cow, ANIMATION.

>>25481948
A lot of that is stuff that would've happened in the boarding phase. If it's just kinda... generic group action, then they'll put them in the scenes however they choose, but some of that stuff will have come out of the scripts. By the time it gets to us, the placement of the main cast ponies is pretty much decided already.

>>25481953
Oh yeah, I saw that one. Loved it. I think my favourite of all of them is the CMC's watching the horror movie, though. Their expressions crack me right up.

>>25481956
I've only seen bits and pieces, clips here and there (mostly on EqD), but I'm super impressed. I really hope Hasbro doesn't decide to cease-and-desist them. (I"m not saying I've heard any suggestions that they will, just that I hope it doesn't happen.)

I don't have any questions. My favorite pony is Fluttershy and my favorite Cutiemark crusader is Sweetie Belle.

WHIMMY WHAM WHAM WAZZLE!

>>25482180
Well SOMEBODY noticed her and derped her eyes.
I've always found her adorable even when she has normal eyes.

There's still a big song and dance number we're missing for the season, yes?

I'll be stupid in silence from now on.

>>25482278
>Oh! And Applejuice

He cheated and had those drawn beforehand.

Also, see? Praise from an animator. Don't stop drawing Juice.

Why was the "grown up" version (from cutie mark chronicles) of spike such a drastically different design than the dragon from dragonshy? Wouldn't it have been easier to make him a purple recolour?

>>25482268
But wait! There's more!

>>25482278
i'm curious now, could you give examples of these so-called 'off coloured art'? i really want to know.

>>25482268
You lack the full song.
However, the copy I have is apparently too large for the board. Alas.

Um... who's Disco and what works has he done?

Link?

>>25482218

Mr Cake = Red
Mrs Cake = Kitty
Spike = Fez
Caramel = Foreman
Rarity = Jackie
Snails = Kelso

>>25482025

We've seen a few alcohol-related jokes (in the last episode, Pinkie said the punch was 'spiked,' and in the first episode, Twilight was pouring herself a very stiff drink...). Is there alcohol in Equestria, and do ponies drink it? Unofficially, that is; I know the official answer would be something like 'it's a little kids show, so we're never going to show ponies drinking booze.'

Also, thanks for answering our questions! You are amazing.

>Flash likes AppleJuice's doodles

What? You you implying something? It's for research.

Also, today I tried to show a friend of mine a video of Fluttershy being cute (she knows I've been watching ponies for research, because I feel comfortable telling her things.) And she said "I refuse to watch that show." I felt pretty gay for a few hours.

>>25482113
Hmm. I haven't really thought about this much... I wasn't suuuper stoked on Look Before You Sleep? Though I remember laughing when I watched it. Dunno. I don't really have a list of favourite/least favourite eps.

>>25482114
>just_as_pinkieplanned.jpg

>>25482180
Cross-eyed Derpy I mean. I liked her design.

>>25482206
In layout we get paid from 9-6, and most people manage to keep those hours. A few people work longer, others a little less. Animators... worked their asses off all the time. A lot of people stayed late very frequently, a lot of people worked weekends, too.

>>25482251
It always bugs me when people say she's a recolour: her mane IS slightly different. ... I'm pretty sure. It's thinner, ain't it? There's a couple other incidentals who have the same mane. I'm pretty sure none of the incidental characters would be direct recolours of the main cast ponies.

>>25482361

>(in the last episode, Pinkie said the punch was 'spiked,'

This still fucking amazes me.

Where are the angry Christians? There should be millions of them by now.

My favorite thing is thinking that Derpy and Carrot Top are room mates.

There's only one question I have for you --

It wouldn't be hard for a female to masturbate at all, really.

Porn's alternate use as arousal material before sex for pleasure notwithstanding.

>>25482556

To say that a drink is 'spiked' is generally understood to mean that alcohol has been added to it.

>>25482553

You sure about that, bro?

What do you think of Railgunner?

Apparently there are two drink-related definitions:

a. To add alcoholic liquor to: spiked the punch with rum.
b. To add a poison or other chemical to: a drink spiked with barbituates.

>>25482568

Honestly I admire the show because the creators bother to put some effort in the characters and the way they harmonize with one another. The comedy is pretty standard Cartoon Network, but they use some refreshing jokes that implies the characters don't take themselves so seriously. It's rather refreshing.

What I'm afraid of is MLP will deteriorate once the HUB becomes a stable network. From what I understand, MLP FiM was one show used to promote the new network, and being a lot is on the line, the creators stressed the show being good, or more than just the show, and pony sales, would be lost.

I guess what I'm saying is, I hope the creators keep putting as much love in the second season as they did for the first.

>>25482629

>>25482472

Hey FlashinthePan, any chance that we'll get to see some of the one shot characters from Season 1 return? Photo Finish, Trixie, Gilda, etc? Or does Hasbro have no intention of bringing any of them back and focus only on brand new characters?

Also, does the studio take into consideration which ones are more appreciated by the fanbase? By that I mean characters like Snips & Snails receiving barely any fan support at all, where-as other characters get far more attention. Would that factor in to which ones may get a better chance at returning to the lime-light?

>>25482477
I prefer to think that Derpy doesn't live with, but is just always coming over uninvited and Carrots is just okay with it.
Usually.

>>25482604

Horses can't, but ponies -- well, ponies apparently can touch their hooves and/or have a range of motion in their forehooves that allows for touching things like their rear feet.

So fuck it. Yeah, ponies can probably masturbate.

>>25482636

That's molestation and statutory rape.

Unless these charges don't exist in the magic land of Equestria. Lol, dragons have no rights.

>>25482639

>>25482472
So I found as I went on. I'm still impressed you read any at all.

When I think of a more relevant question, I'll ask. Working on fanfiction and holding a job has ended up consuming most of my creative wandering time. Just know I appreciate the fan community-creator interaction a lot. It's one of the best things about this show's fandom! When Derpy showed up in FPK, I thought I stepped into alternate Earth.

>>25482699

Nah, I'm not amazing, I just have some spare time. I'm pretty sure Word of Faust from way back when was that the Ponies Do Not Drink. Although goofy jokes about the ponies being drunk occasionally happened around the studio. I'm pretty sure.

>>25482470
...Nope. I certainly don't care. Even though technically they are my royal family, too.

>>25482476
Common joke? I've heard it in a bunch of cartoons before, I never knew what it meant when I was a kid.

>>25482507
Looney Toons was my favourite growing up. Adventure Time and Sym-Bionic Titan are my favourites now. Samurai Jack is my favourite Ever. Plus I watch some animu.

>>25482598
Scootabuse is scootabuse. Shrug? I ain't into it, but it was kinda funny the way you guys responded to show 24.

>>25482607
Haha... well, the layout artist in me says that my favourite backgrounds are the ones that need the least alterations to make them work in the scene. Since they're all Flash BGs, we can tint and tweak and nudge elements until everything is staged perfectly. It takes a long time. But Cloudsdale is pretty cool.

>>25482667

I picture it as Carrot Top realizes it would be more work trying to get rid of Derpy than just putting up with her

>>25481577
I dunno, man, every time I see her, I seethe out a "it's the pink one again."

but, different ponies for different folks, I guess.

Silent Hunter guy here, recently upgraded to SH5. I don't think I can play pony songs on the gramophone in the game

>>25482752
He's insidiously good at what he does.

I'm a little weirded out that you guys took the time to think about this. So let's just go all out. Who do you think in the mane cast masturbates. I'd say Twilight does. A lot.

>>25482639
>The comedy is pretty standard Cartoon Network,

More like classic Cartoon Network. I never realized how much I missed the classic loony toones humor that this show is reviving.

>>25482745

Explain
I'm still confused...

>>25482745
i don't get it

>>25482787
SERIOUSLY
I don't want this boner
dammit

More Sapphire Shores?

Please?

I love her design.

not giving her a cutie mark would be awesome too

so here's a question:

Has there been any consideration to writing a subplot that goes throughout a season? I like the whimsicality of each episode, but It would be interesting to see more plot continuity throughout the season

>>25482797

>Flashinthepan in the thread
>LETS ALL DISCUSS PONY MASTURBATION

you crack me up /co/

Hey Flash... what do you think about all the pony shoes and shirts and stuff?

>>25482741
>bullshit

They also got drunk at the Gala and the author pulled a andthentheyfucked.png

Fuck it

I call DOUBLE bullshit

>>25482809
Dragon Age Two is generally considered to be a rushed-out piece of crap that has about 6 unique areas that each get used about 10 times each, as opposed to Dragon Age one that had very little reusing of any area.

>>25482773
Damn straight. Pinkie Pie is best, and all other opinions are wrong FOREVER.

Yo FlashinthePan!

>>25482658
> any chance that we'll get to see some of the one shot characters from Season 1 return?
If they are, I don't think he's allowed to tell us, right?

So flash... Pulp or no pulp? For orange Juice that is.

>>25482803

My english was never that good.

Yes I meant something along those lines. You can definitely see Craig McCracken's inspired influence in the show, but MLP manages to push it even farther in terms of obscurity.

It's not a bad thing at all.

...

secret butt fun

>>25482769
I REALLY wish I hadn't thought up an OC as friends for Derpy cause I really love the whole Derpy/Carrots friendship.
It's just.. if I included Carrots in any of my Derpy stories then Derpy would HAVE TO be the costar and Carrots the central focus.

>>25482629
Sigh. Funny thing is, that one doesn't really interest me at all.. but I remember back when that first Pinkie/Rarity one was done months and months ago, I was compelled to save it, because it is really well done. (Though their hooves weirded me out.)

>>25482637
Nope. I'm also trying to remain pseudo-anonymous, so I'm not gonna post my website. (Not that it's really a big deal, I'm not saying anything I'm not allowed to, but.. yeah.)

>>25482639
From what I hear, Season 2 is going to be kinda crazy. I have no idea HOW, but season 2s almost always are amped up from a first season.

>>25482658
This really is a writing thing... or possibly storyboards. Probably some of it is taken into consideration, but I'm not sure how heavily. The staff have their own ideas about what constitutes a good show, and for the most part they are probably going to stick with those.

(Whew, think I'm catching up.)

>>25482797
I just noticed how mature these threads get.
Its amazingly awesome and weird at the same time.

>>25482797
It's more like one guy found out and decided to tell all of us and then those other guys told those who missed it the first time.

This knowledge was acquired without my consent. I was raped by facts that sound like they could be in an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

>>25482857
I still say she reminds me of Tohou

>>25482741
I like it because of the strong sense of emotion and rich descriptions that draw me into the characters head and environment.
But thasssss me.

>>25482860
This is >>25481966. Is this Flash guy important, and how can I fuck this up? Also, I saved that Pinkazoid picture, but I still don't like ponies.

>>25482906

>Flash saved the Pinkie X Rarity pic RG did

Mah gawd

>>25482906
>From what I hear, Season 2 is going to be kinda crazy. I have no idea HOW, but season 2s almost always are amped up from a first season.

Oh, best thing ever, best thing ever!

>>25482797
What the mane cast does in the privacy of their own bedrooms is there own business. I'm willing to live in a world where pastel ponies have sexuality, but I'm certainly not going to try to think about it.

>>25482857

>>25482575

In case anyone missed the subtext, I asked how close to clop Flashinthepan had read. Neverfuckingmind I hate that fucking author.

.>>25482766
It has been a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but it's heading into the wee hours of the morning for me. Keep up the excellent work, and do pass along our regards, if you would kindly? Proper credit must be given where it is due, after all.

>>25482957

Flash works on the show bro

>>25482882

Pinkie Pie so far has been a monkey. I hope tomorrow changes that.

>>25482866
fuck your shit, chistery is a damn good writer. his details and visuals run circles around most fics I've read,

just because youve got qualms against lesbians and them having sex doesn't mean their a bad writer.

also, I doubt you could even come close to writing better, seeing as you failed to notice the strong points in the story.

>>25482906
Railgunner did one before this that was more disturbing and thought-provoking, it involved Rainbow and the CMC

>>25482966
reminds me of shaving pubic hair for some reason

>>25482906
>From what I hear, Season 2 is going to be kinda crazy. I have no idea HOW, but season 2s almost always are amped up from a first season.

GET HYPE.

>>25482875

Ah I figured that, but I wasn't entirely sure.
Thanks for verifying that.

Yeah, I doubt Lauren and others would willingly just rush through a series, unless "some" outside force forced them to. Lauren seems like she's a little girl in a carboard box displaying her puppets she crafted with love...I question what kind of obscure care-free world she lives in.

Also...those damn dolls she made of her alien rock band-project-thing....spooky.

>>25482906

When you're putting together scenes, do you give any consideration to male-female ratios? I know the show's target demographic is young girls, and as such most of the ponies are female, but there have been some crowd shots with 0 males present and others with a near-50/50 ratio. Is that a coincidence, or are some of the layout people more conscious of pony gender in their scenes than others are?

Hey Flash

We all have speculations as to when season two is going to start, but do you have any solid dates?

>>25482906
>From what I hear, Season 2 is going to be kinda crazy.
Is it October yet? Please tell me it's October.

>>25482906
Was anyone from the show involved in the Mcdonald's toys?

>>25482766
Thanks! To be fair, it only took me like, 5 mins on each drawing.

>>25482882

I got my sister into watching this show and she asked me how Pinkie Pie could possibly be my favorite.

The nerve of some people. Then again she's a Rarity fan so why am I surprised.

>>25481953
Funny enough, I use to have a distaste in my mouth from Disco's work. It was really, really damn good, but always something on some level disturbing, and the twisting of the request seemed wrong

It wasn't until someone called him "our resident monkey's paw" that it all clicked for me, and suddenly, I found him awesome. It's almost like a game to see how he'll corrupt your request. Do you dare wish upon the monkey's paw?

>>25482909
/co/ can have some amazing discussions, when everyone actually, ya know, conducts themselves in a civil manner

>>25482906
>From what I hear, Season 2 is going to be kinda crazy. I have no idea HOW, but season 2s almost always are amped up from a first season.

lolwut

>>25482992

Whoa, calm down their, hoss.

>From what I hear, Season 2 is going to be kinda crazy. I have no idea HOW, but season 2s almost always are amped up from a first season.
MY BURNING HYPE WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS

>>25482982
I doubt anyone affiliated with the show would come here, you guys are freaks. And I still don't like ponies.

So, no plot for the second season?

>>25481603
Request done ENJOY!

>>25481607
I'm gonna finish this one tonight.

>>25482858
As far as I know, that has never really been an option. S'gotta be episodic, just like (almost) every other western cartoon out there. Even Sym-Bionic Titan could kinda work as an episodic series. Kinda.

>>25482860
Pfft, I lurk these threads now and again, I've seen some things, lemme tell ya. As for your question, I am as stoked on the shirts and shoes as I am on all the other fan production. It's surreal how much stuff people are making.

>>25482875
Weeell, here's hoping that doesn't happen with us, hey?

>>25482889
Eeeeexactly. It's Rule Number One.

>>25482891
I used to be all about No Pulp. But then I manned up. (Now it's just whatever I get served when I ask for a glass of orange juice at breakfast.)

hahaaaa, and with that, I will probably head off soon. Will answer one-or-two of these posts more of questions, and then that'll be that.

It's been fun, /co/. Wanted to get one more visit in before the season ends, because who knows what's going to happen to these threads once we get into the black hole of summer. (Hopefully people will go outside and play.)
