Makes me wonder what other sorts of things they did.

>prehensile tail play

This is my fetish. Well, one of them.

The hell? We're nowhere near 404'ing the last thread.

Well they do eat horses.....

gonna need links, been out all day.

But the other thread is in autosage, so the rest of /co/ won't see it...

That's the point. We don't want them to see it.

Stick with one thread until it's about to 404. Threre's always bros to discuss with. Now please, direct your love and friendship here:

We should show our pony love PROUDLY!! All of /co should be witness to the pony overlords!!

I hope she comes back and learns her lesson. Its always sad to see someone left with NO friends.

You're messing with the natural order!!

>>21181169
You will only damage us in the long run. Now please, I'm asking nicely. Can you do a brony a solid and discuss things in the old thread? It's only on page 7.

I'm supposed to be writing a lemon about it, but I'm procrastinating like crazy from this angle.

Hello new thread
This is the most up to date screencap of that thread I got.

I just finished posting the next Batpink chapter, archived with the past chapters here: http://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/98088.html#101323

Gonna have to go sleep soon, bah.

Old thread's pretty much dead, so we can move into this one now.

We were discussing cutie marks, and the effects they could have on Equestria's perception of marriage.

>>21183964
Unless you mean just my post, post the rest.

I was playing Under the Garden. Fun little time-waster.

>>21183959
Loving the Batpink story Jimbo.
It's pretty early for you to be going to sleep as well!

>>21183959
>Gonna have to go sleep soon, bah.

Psh, but it's the weekend!

>>21183959
Well, night, anyway!

>>21183986
The rest of what?

>>21184008

this is not right, man, not right.

>>21184034
I still really really love the hair in this one
It's prettyful

>>21184043
what, now you can have a dakimakura of fluttershy without being accused of being a pedo furry.

>>21184001
>>21183993

I know right?! But I have rehearsal tomorrow from 12-6. Not cool.

Also, as far as cutie-mark arranged marriages; I wonder what would happen if a pony found someone they reeeally liked, and tried to ... paint over their mark, or something? Modify it just enough so that they could make it look like they were 'destined'?

>>21184008
eh? Janitor is a Fluttershy fan?

>>21184056

Dude, didn't you learned anything from today's episode? Messing with Fluttershy is crossing the line!

>>21184059
Prison time.

Celestia doesn't stand for that kinda crap in her kingdom.

>>21184068

Now I'm curious what the picture was.

>>21184059
I wonder how deep they go anyway. Would stuff like tattoo removal work on them? If you get a cut on one will it correctly heal back?

>>21184082
I think it was a drawing like the other girls.

>>21184082
don't mess with Fluttershy, srs business.

>>21184082
Fluttershy version of
>>21183976
>>21184034

>>21184059
What sort of rehearsal?

And damn, this marriage cutie-mark stuff is going to give me dreams or something.

>>21184077
Why'd you think that? Celestia loves watching guys do that sort of thing to attract mates. It's a great source of amusement for those moments when she isn't occupied with the sun and moon.

Besides, micromanaging her subjects' hindquarters is more trouble than it's worth.

That's not to say that her subordinates feel the same way, however. There are certain members of the Ministry of Honesty who want ponies to have their cutie marks visible at all times, to keep track of them better.

>>21184131
are we getting Brazil and 1984 up in here?

>>21184077
That was my thought too, haha. Oh Celestia, you and your fascist ways. A monarchy steeped in blood cannot stand!

>>21184088
Oh, OW!

And now I remember my idea! I was thinking about the concept of 'pony blacksmiths,' and I thought up a cute little pony character, the rare adult who never got her cutie mark who works as a blacksmith. She goes by Magenta because that's the color of her skin, and it turns out later she's too scared to go 'questing for her cutie' because she doesn't want it to be something non-smithing related, and be forced to leave behind the profession she loves.

I'm going to bed. Here, have a preliminary outline of the Dash/Gilda story. ETA: N/A.

After last episodes letter spam to Celestia... I humbly request a drawpony to give us a ponified version of this comic

when pinky pie introduce Gilda to the rest of ponies, what she say?

"...a long time GRYPH friend of Rainbow Dash"

or

"...a long time GIRL friend of Rainbow Dash"

>>21184162
This is probably a cultural context more than anything. But I've never heard "gal pal" be used to refer to any non-romantic/sexual relationship, and that's how Dash introduced Pinkie.

>>21184059
I'd think it'd be outright impossible, unless the one having their cutie mark adulterated is extremely insecure and self-doubting. After all, it's a statement of your meaning in life or personal creed; modifying it is a pretty serious thing to do.

I'd imagine it would NOT be well received. Someone might resort to actual violence.

>>21184147
Someone said something about the Ministries of Harmony in a past topic. Anyone save that?

>>21184147
I'm lousy at history and what is this?

>>21184186

I think that post refers to NOVELS, not something that happened in Brazil during 1984.

>>21184174
I've heard gal pal used in many non-sexual ways. Its just another way of saying "girl friend."

>>21184186
Literature. 1984 is often said to be the only work of political horror. It's not a PLEASANT book-except to one of my very weird friends-but it is a decidedly necessary one.

Brazil is similar. I've never read it.

You should read one of them, however. You probably won't enjoy it, but that's the point.

>>21184162
I think she says dear, it sounds like gear though.

>>21184202
Yeah, like I said. Cultural context. Like "soda" vs. "pop."

>>21184177
YEEK! That's scary! Poor ponies. Bad Celestia!

>>21184117
Opera!

>>21184202
Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard someone use gal-pal in a romantic context, I've always heard girlfriend for that.

>>21184200
>>21184207
Oh. I thought it was weird because that was a few years after we were rid of dictatorship, I thought it was some BRony with a better grasp at history talking.

>>21184224
>Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard someone use gal-pal in a romantic context, I've always heard girlfriend for that.

Perhaps I should further clarify that I've never heard anyone use the term "gal pal" without irony, either.

>Opera
Oh sweet. Which one?

>>21184186
1984 is a book about the UK having been so run over by bureaucracy that even your way of thinking has to comply by the ministries guidelines.

The movie Brazil is based on that book but it has a lot of dark humor and it takes the concepts in 1984 to absurdity.

Brazil is a highly recommended watch, written and directed by Terry Gilliam and has some beautiful visuals.

>>21184210

a gear friend?

>>21184224
>Opera!

That's really cool!

>>21184235

Ahhh. Well, I guess it's a fluid term, haha. I know I sometimes use girl friends for people who are female and also my friends, but it still feels kinda awkward. And to answer your question, Gianni Schicchi!

>>21184224
That'd just be making her more villainous, assuming the Delicious Brothers aren't brothers.

Basically, she put the two of them together, and fucked with one's mind (or Cutie Mark; one wonders if the two have a voodoo doll-like effect on each other) for what boils down to, I'd assume, fap material.

Oh Celestia, will we ever stop thinking of ways to make you more villainous?

(the answer is no)

>>21184271
It's all in the hyphen. Girl friend, a female friend. Girl-friend, a romantic partner.

>>21184259
Oh, thanks. I think I might have heard about it (No, not just in this thread. Not sure, though.).

Still no Angel this episode

But at least we got to see Fluttershy interacting with a different sort of animal.

Thus far, there have been birds, bunnies, turtles, and Manticores

I wonder what will be next... squirrels?

>>21184287
Eh? Girlfriend is romantic partner, I don't know where you live that you use a hyphen.

I ... can't reply? WTF.

>>21184287
I thought Girlfriend was the romantic one

>>21184340
Either works as a way of making a compound noun. It does look better without the hyphen. I'm probably just sleepier than I realized.

>>21184346
Oh and NOW it goes through. Fuck you /co/, eating my posts. I was going to say:

>>21184277
Wow, that is nightmare fuel right there. Guess I didn't want to sleep tonight!

>>21184346
Elaborate?

>>21184346
wat

HEY YOU PONY GUYS, I started another thread because I am going to stream the Rainbow Brite movie. It has rainbow horses, and stuff. Do you want to watch, too?

>>21184358
>>21184356

For some reason, the last two times I tried to reply, it gave me some error like "post added to index" and it didn't actually post to the thread? It was weird.

>>21184362
Modify it slightly, then try to post.

I've run into that before. I have no idea why it does it.

>>21184277
That is a horrible thought. Celestia changing your cutie mark to something you hate and having your mind slowly corrupted as you feel yourself slip away.

>>21184359
I'm too tired for a movie, personally. Have fun though.

>>21184362
I get all kinds of errors when I post. Can sometimes take me up to 5 times to get shit to go through, just gotta keep trying.

>>21184353
Except I've never seen anyone use the hyphen before and girlfriend is an actual word in itself, not just an adjective with a noun.

Why are we even talking about this.

>>21184370

horrible and deliciously awesome.

>>21184370

The ultimate punishment that ponies face.

>>21184376
>girlfriend is an actual word in itself, not just an adjective with a noun.

Yes but it's a compound noun formed from two others. Like fireman or mailbox.

Neither of which have hyphens. Fuck I'm dreaming up imaginary hyphens everywhere. You did this to me, /co/. You're the reason I get 3 hours of sleep every night.

"Got any new moves in your tricktionary?"

>>21184359
Dammit, if only you'd been here a couple hours ago! I love that movie. Oh, nostalgia.

>>21184370
AGH NO. Must - fix - with powers of twoo wub! Okay so say, for example, if one of the Delicious brothers was shifted in this way, and he was really some totally unrelated pony guy who Celestia was - punishing, maybe. Oh God, maybe he's one of her royal guards who put a hoof out of line, so now she's banishing him to have his mind warped by the power of his new cutie. The other Delicious brother, who has been extremely neckbeardy and shy until now, is at first overjoyed, since he was basically fucked for getting a mate otherwise. But in time he sees that the other Delicious brother can never be happy like this, and in the final act he frees him from the cutie-mark-plague by taking him to a magic spring or something (WE DON'T GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT, IT'S FRIENDSHIP) and then it turns out that he loves him anyway so it overrides the evil magic and everything is fine the end.

>>21184359
Don't usually watch streams, but thanks for the warning. The animation in this one is pretty good.

>>21184381
This real?

>>21184389
:3 as fuck
I feel much better now

>>21184400
I went to go check.

No.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/11/5/

Anyway, completely off topic, but right now, leaves are falling so hard outside it sounds like it's raining.

I wish it WAS raining. I love rain, and rainymood gets a bit samey after a while.

>>21184400
Gabe would never copy and paste a cartoon image, and of course it's out of format from the rest of the comics. He would've drawn Twilight Sparkle in his own style at least. It's pretty convincing though otherwise. I don't know what comic the panel 4 Gabe face is from.

>>21184109
thanks for the save, she's gorgeous.

>>21184425
We had a really nice thunderstorm here a few days ago. Shit was great.

>>21184407
Oh. Nice shoop then, whoever made it.

>>21184425
We're in the rainy season where I live. It really gets my spirits up watching it.

Okay, so Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are the only two ponies I ship so far. I felt weird for not getting on the Applejack/Rainbow Dash thing, but I just see Applejack as the type to fall for a nice country boy.

>>21184401

I know, right? Now I can sleep.

Which I should go do for reals now, sigh. If there's anything awesome I miss, post it to plus please!!! I will see you guys tomorrow.

>>21184438
>I don't know what comic the panel 4 Gabe face is from.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/4/15/

I'm rooting for Spiklejack.

>>21184460
Good night Jimbo
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW

>>21184460
Well, this time, 'night for real!

>>21184460
Night night Jimbo. I'll probably be following soon.

>>21184468
>>21184456

Spike and Applejack and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are the only two compatible pairs I can see so far.

I mean, they're all way too young for anything, especially Spike, but just sayin. I DO get pinged with Rainbow Dash when it comes to lesbodar, but I just wasn't buying it with Applejack, just because she fought with Rainbow Dash it doesn't mean they have that kind of tension.

Pinkie, on the other hand, has a very obvious crush on her, and Dash is kind of reluctantly returning it.

>>21184482
>I mean, they're all way too young for anything

The ponies are pretty clearly adults.

>>21184482
Pinky having a crush on Dash but being protective of Fluttershy gives me a love triangle vibe. All we need is singing and some sort of speed pilot freak and we'd have Macross Pony

oh wait....

>>21184469

Gnight! And thanks Pharf, I'll need it, let's hope I don't pass out in the middle!

>>21184476
>>21184473
Gnight bronies! Nice chatting with you as always!

>>21184482
>I mean, they're all way too young for anything
I thought they were all young adults. 20-24ish is the age group I was feeling from it.
Except for spike yeah he is a bit young.

>>21184499
He is just a baby dragon, after all

>>21184482
>>21184488
Yeah, but Spike is 2. Despite the fact that dragons can apparently leave the nest nigh-immediately (there is a word for this, but Wikipedia and my personal memory alike have failed) I doubt he's sexually mature yet.

However, it's entirely likely to happen in the future. In fact, it's debatable how well Spike will reintegrate with the Dragons.

>>21184519

Considering the size of the other dragons relative to Spike.. I'd hate to be him

Can you IMAGINE the growing pains of expanding your body mass cloe to 2000%?

>>21184499

They're teenagers, judging by how most of the ponies that have run businesses (like where Pinkie works) are bigger than them. Besides...aren't most cartoons aimed at kids ABOUT either kids or teens?

Just saw the episode
<------ MFW Gilda made Fluttershy cry.

>>21184537
Most of the time but not necessarily.

>>21184530
Dragons are hardy folk. Besides, he gets to eat a lot; I'd imagine that's compensation enough.

"Gosh, Spike, how do you eat so much without getting fat?"
"Dunno, Pinkie. Just lucky, I guess."

>>21184537
They seem to be about the same size as the Mayor, who's a full adult.

Next three episodes.
I can't wait for that slumber party.

>>21184543

Your face is tank?

>>21184555
...What must this pony in the next episode be like if she's considered "a magic pony" by the other ponies' standards?

>>21184555

>Slumber Party

>>21184554

Oh yeah! Point taken, adults. The other adults just get a different style for variety, I guess.

>>21184543

Yeah, definitely got me mad.

>>21184555
I wonder if we will see any non unicorn pony magic

>>21184561

Probs just a uni with a bit more training. Though Sparkle did manage all those apples with telepathy that one time. Man.

>>21184555
Hell yeah, Rarity episode!

>>21184561
It makes her sound like a stage magician, which would fit the name "Trixie".

>>21184381
I... Think this edit is better than the actual comic it's based on. It's a better punchline.

it looks like a anti air tank, felt about the same when gilda bullied fluttershy. Bitch needs to burn for that

>>21184572

God, I wonder how much of a Fluttershy episode would just be awkward mumbling.

I'm pretty sure there was a magic earth pony in a old series actually. Had a magic wand as a cutie mark.

>>21184583

Why was she an earth pony? Like, did she have earth magic?

Haha, a wizard would be funny.

>>21184582
All of it. And I would watch the whole thing with big sparkly eyes while giggling.

>>21184562

You will NEVER be invited to a slumber party with all of your favourite mares, laughing and giggling when Pinkie and Dash play pranks on everyone, or having your mane tended to by Rarity while she simpers and acts all touchy feely, or gather in a circle while Fluttershy excitedly shows what tricks she taught Angel recently, or stuff your face until it's almost bursting with Applejack's delicious treats, or simply sit back and chat to Twilight about her studies and the latest lore she dug up, until you get to laugh some more as Dash and Applejack have a pillow fight

and then hot, sweaty lesbian sex, all night long, with glow in the dark toys and the sound of Fluttershy going, "um... err.. uh *squeak* are you sure it will go there?"

>>21184586
I mean like just a normal pony. Not a Unicorn or Pegasus.

>>21184595
You wound me, sir.

>>21184594

It would be the greatest thing.

>>21184595

God, Applejack's gonna get me to want to either learn to bake or go out and buy a bunch of baked apple goods.

>>21184604

Oh. I guess she just took levels of it or something. Haha. Or has a high UMD. Haha. Yeah, sorry.

And I.....

The Dark Wyvern lie in wait!

>>21184607
You should do it! My apple tree's are looking good this year, soon I'm going to have more apples then I know what to do with.

>>21184586

Magic Star didn't have powers. She just loved magic tricks and lucky charms. "Earth pony" means "regular", as in not a pegasus or a unicorn.

>>21184595

Y u do dis

>>21184595

>spoiler text

I wonder what Spike will be doing during the slumber party.

>>21184595

>>21184620
Oh whoops. I am newish to this so I am still trying to learn all the ponies.

>>21184622

Because let's face it your reactions are always priceless

>>21184626
Probably sent to spend the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Don't want him intruding, after all.

I'd imagine it'd be something akin to being sent to stay with one's grandparents-play with the ancient toys, tell old stories, maybe learn to bake.

I believe he'd have fun.

OH FUCK LIGHTNING JUST STRUCK REALLY CLOSE TO MY HOUSE HOLY SHIT THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE

>>21184653

Clearly you have not paid your respects to weather pony

Pay em now bitch

>>21184653
Ooh! Maybe if you're lucky it'll have struck sand. Stromatolites are awesome.

>>21184653
Celestia is angry.
You must appease her wrath.

>>21184653

>>21184660
No way this already looking to be a great storm. Just that first surprised the hell out of me and shook the house.

So! Anyone want me to repost the story in its entirety?

I've written a bit more.

It's party time

>>21184759
Which story were you doing again?

>>21184792
Mane's story; Being a Tale of a Young Filly sent to the Dragon Mountains to Live a Life in the Draconic Style for the Improvement and Edification of Both Cultures.

>>21184800
Sure. I haven't read that one yet.

>>21184686
Is this the only .gif from that episode right now? I'd make some myself If I could.

Years before the events of MLP2010 (but not many) Equestria and Draconum were poised for war, after several rather unpleasant accidents. Princess Celestia, wishing to avoid the fallout (both magical and emotional) from such an occurrence, met with Jarl Rockscale, and with his agreement, ruled that two families of moderate importance would trade their children and raise them amongst each other. From the Hill Spine Clan came young Spike, and from the Flowerbright family, sweet Mane. With the blessing of Princess Celestia and Jarl Rockscale, Flowerbright Mane left with the Dragons, and Hill Spine Spike stayed in Canterlot, eventually growing fond of Celestia's student-at-the-time and, at the end of her training, departing with her.
This is not his story.

The wind was immensely cold against Mane's bright pelt as Hills' Edge Raile took to the sky, leaving behind Ponyville and everything she'd ever known. Raile's great red wings beat an uneven gait compared to the smooth flights of the pegasi she'd known, and after a moment, Mane closed her eyes, folding her forehooves over her head, shivering.
In moments, the sounds of other wingbeats joined Raile's, and Mane peeked from behind shivering hooves to notice five, six...an entire sky's worth of dragons flying before, behind, and beside her...what WAS Raile, to her?

>>21184820
---------
Rising to her hooves, Mane shakily made her way up the great saddle-what had Jarl Rockscale called it, a howdah?-toward Raile's head, balancing her best and fervently thanking providence for her time spent balancing with friends.
"M-miss Raile?"
The great red dragon's head did not turn, but a warm voice answered. "Hush, little one. I must focus on flying for now. We will find a good cliff to bed down on in a few hours-I'll talk to you then. Go back to the howdah and have an apple. The Apple clan gave us several bushels as a gesture of goodwill-and the last thing you want to do is fall off." Her great, horned head nodded to the left slightly.
With a gulp, Mane agreed.
For the next few hours, Mane watched the clouds go by and admired the play of sun on scale, shivering warmly when the clouds passed. Taking advantage of the moment to sun herself, Mane closed her eyes-and within minutes, lulled by Raile's wingbeats, fell into a nap.

oh fuck no. First the other thread and now ANOTHER one, now at 180 replies?

fuck you all.

>>21184827
---------
Mane awoke with a start at a lack of wingbeats.
Rising to her hooves, the filly stared at the dark stone of the large clifftop, the blazing fire, and the eight or so dragons sitting nearby. Raile had divested herself of the howdah, and was engaged in animated discussion about...something.
Mane squeaked in surprised as a little brown dragonet popped up from beside the howdah, carrying a large sheaf of fresh mountain grass. With a grunt, he set it down, saluting.
"Rations for you, Ma'am! On the order of Jarl Rockscale-says you can't eat all the apples, after all."
Mane smiled weakly, and took a bite of the grass-and twisted her head in surprise at the tough texture. With a frown, she bit down harder, and was rewarded by sweet juice and a clean snap. Chewing grimly, she finished off the first mouthful, and turned to the brown dragonet, who seemed disappointed at her reaction.
"I had a feeling it'd be too tough-but it was the only grass that was close." His original eager smile turned down slightly. "It might be better dried, but, well..." He shrugged, grinning sheepishly.

>>21184831
"No, no! It's fine, just a little tougher than I'm used to, really." Mane smiled back ingratiatingly, taking another bite. It wasn't half bad, she mused, even if it WAS tough-juicy, and with a certain rainy indistinctity that the Ponyville grass lacked. The size of the sheaf was easily enough to hold her for several days, however.
She swallowed.
"What's your name?"
The dragonet, who had been lying against the sheaf of mountaingrass with his arms folded behind his head, started slightly. "Oh? Uh. It's Geode. My parents think I have potential, y'see, even though I'm so unremarkable. Like a geode-it just looks like a regular old rock, and then you crack it open, and it's amazing inside. Jarl Rockscale must agree; he took me on as his retainer." The dragonet rolled his eyes slightly, before pulling a stalk tufted with a young seed cluster from the sheaf of mountaingrass, chewing on the end and eying Mane.
"So, uh...what's it like down on the Plains?"
"Uh..."
Mane was temporarily struck speechless. She'd never lived anywhere else, after all; how was she to compare?
"Well, uh...the days are usually sunny, except in fall and spring when it rains, and in winter, when it snows." Frantically, she searched for something more descriptive. "Lots of trees, uh, and it's really flat, so we build houses and stables instead of living in caves-you live in caves, right?"
Geode considered for a moment.

>>21184842
---------
Geode considered for a moment. "Sounds weird...and yeah, we started out in caves, but we've gone a bit farther than that now. I won't ruin the surprise, but let me just tell you-it's awesome."
Despite Mane's questioning, Geode refused to give up any more-but collected a double handful of pebbles and taught her mancala, which they played until both pairs of eyelids drooped. Mane curled slightly and rested her head on the sheaf, and Geode patted her on the head and wandered off.
Some time later, Mane half-awoke as a weight settled against her flank, before returning to sleep.


Mane was wakened by sunrise.
This high in the mountains, she could see for a great while as the sun rose from a cleft in the mountains far to the north, pink and yellow and red and orange painting the sky as it rose. Indistinct blurs became plains, mesas, forest, the great valley before her painted into life by the rising sun.
"It's beautiful."
Geode, who'd fallen asleep on her flank, cracked open an eye, before stretching slightly and turning to look. "Oh? Oh. Yeah, you've never left the Plains, have you? There's an entire sect up here who watch and paint the sunrises. I always liked the Mechanics-oop!" The dragonet winked slyly. "Never mind me. Didn't say anything. Just wait until we get to the mountains."

>>21184848
---------
With that, Geode made his way off into the various hills that were slumbering dragons. The great gray bulk of Jarl Rockscale rose first, nodding to something Mane couldn't see-probably Geode-and roaring. Bit by bit, the other dragons rose and stretched, preparing for the day. Mane hopped down from the howdah and sought out Raile, who was chewing idly on something, and swallowed as she heard Mane's cantering footsteps.
"Good morning, little one. "
Mane sat and craned her neck up at the red dragoness, who in turn gazed down at her charge. "Miss Raile? What do I call you? I mean, I can't just call you Miss Raile, but I'm not your foal-Spike is. It's just a little...hard."
Raile turned slightly to face her. "Dragons ARE hard, Mane. It's our nature-we are creature of the high mountains and hot deserts, the deep caves and the distant sky. But if it makes you feel better, you can call me Mom." Raile half-bent and licked Mane's forelock, rubbing her forehead with her lower jaw. "Now, head on back to the howdah. We're about to head out. Tonight should see us back at the Crags."

Regretfully, Mane returned to the howdah, waiting as the remaining dragons shouldered great saddlebags and stretched, preparing for the long flight. When Raile returned, she drew the howdah's curtains.
"I'm sorry, hatchling, but the location of the Great Crag is a truly important secret. I have to keep you in here, until we reach the final approach."

>>21184855
---------
"...Can you at least have Geode keep me company?"
Raile raised a paw and sat back in surprise. "You've met Geode already? Jarl Rockscale must think highly of you...or Geode does. I'll go and ask."
The curtain slid forward, turning the howdah's interior to shade and half-light, but when Geode joined her minutes later, Mane couldn't have cared less.

The flight was uneventful. Between games of mancala, chess, and riddles, time flew, and before Mane knew it Raile was calling-"Geode! Pull back the curtains! I want Mane to see this."

The curtains fell back, and Mane gasped.

Raile's wings fixed in a glide as they flew through a narrow canyon, edged here and there with tenacious trees and hanging moss. As they approached a great mountain of gray stone, topped with a great, rocky dragon's head, Geode smiled.
"Welcome to the Great Crag. That-" Geode pointed to the dragon's head. "-is Dragon Rock, and hold on tight, this is gonna be exciting."
Raile suddenly pulled up into a spiral, the air around them unexpectedly warmer. Carefully, Mane looked over the edge, gulping at the height-and at the roiling river of lava beneath them. Before them, Jarl Rockscale and two other dragons had already landed, and Raile leveled out into a glide before backwinging to a stop in the very mouth of Dragon Rock.

>>21184652
nah, they'd get Big Mac to babysit him.

can you imagine a Big Mac-Spike Funtime Hour? it would be hilarious

>>21184862
---------
Mane took the opportunity to scramble out of the howdah and clutch at the stone floor of Dragon Rock, panting and letting her heartrate slow.
"Land. Ground. Sweet, wonderful, solid earth. If I'd been meant to fly, I would've been born a Pegasus."

Unsurprisingly, she was beset with laughter from all sides. Even Geode stifled a snigger. At Mane's disappointed expression, however, Raile frowned at the various dragons still snickering. "Be gentle, everyone. She's an Earth Pony; they're not accustomed to flight. Besides, she's got a long day ahead. She's got a lot to see." That said, she nudged Mane up, smiling. "Wait here while I take this cumbersome thing off."

The quiet murmur of falling water pricked Mane's ears as she trotted quickly to keep up with Raile's long-striding, sedate pace. Beside them, pillars rose and became arches, statues of majestic dragons and mysterious draconic figures posed; mid-flame, smithing metal, blowing glass, mining. The murmur rose to a mutter, and then to a roar as Raile and Mane stepped out onto a balcony.

>>21184874
---------
Water and lava alike fell in cascades, turning wheels and flowing into forges. Bridges and ziplines crossed here and there, and on cliffs and ledges across the great hollow, dragons and those same strange creatures worked in time, creating a thousand tools, goods, and artworks, all lit by the bright sun falling from the mountain's open top. In shock, Mane padded up to the rail and gazed down-falling water, roaring lava, and the distant clangor of metalwork forming into a discordant but not entirely unlikeable symphony.
"Welcome, Mane, to Draconum, the finest craftscity in all the world."

Mane was still taking in the sight when the heavy steps of another dragon approached, and she only pulled back when the affable voice greeted Raile.
"Raile?"
"Gyre!"
Turning, Mane saw Raile and another, blue dragon, rubbing necks. The blue was the first to stop, turning to look at the little pony.
"Well, who are you, little one?"
Mane took a deep breath.
"I'm Mane, of Equestria, deputized by Princess Celestia to represent Ponydom."
The words, memorized carefully over the week before her departure, came out of her in a half-rush, nervousness compounded several times over-and with that, and the surprises of the past day, the little filly fainted.

>>21184880
---------
Mane awoke, slowly, in a quiet, dim room. The stone around her was a warm, welcoming brown, and straw rustled underhoof. Little hollows lined the walls, some with candles, some without. Rubbing her eyes, she stood, and made her way to the door.

The room below was scaled for several dragons of Raile and Gyre's size, but still felt cozy. A great lantern carved of the same stone as the room dipped from the ceiling, and a mixture of small baskets and nets hung here and there. Alcoves and shelves held statues, candles, and baubles, and two large chairs sat to the sides of the center of the room-Raile in one, and Gyre in the other. Unlike the other two rooms, someone had taken the time to put a pony-style staircase in for Mane's, and she took it gratefully.
Upon reaching the floor, Mane sat quietly and listened to the tail-end of the discussion going on above her.
"...yes, I know we had no choice but to leave Spike with them. We volunteered for diplomatic duty, don't you recall? Since neither of us could exactly grow up again, he was the only possible choice."
"There is that, but..." Gyre paused. "...they don't know any of the traditions. They won't know what it means for him to Choose; he won't learn any of the crafts, won't watch the sunsets from the highest peak..."

>>21184885
---------
"But that's why he went, and Mane came back with us. So we can get to know them, and they can get to know us. He'll learn traditions, just not ours-as Mane will." Raile sighed. "Imagine how she feels, so far from home-Spike'll just be bored; she must have been scared out of her wits. First she gets used to flying, and then I start pulling stunts. She barely gets her hooves back under her before I show her Draconum-which must have been quite a shock-and then you show up, and she remembers, all at once, that not only is she days from home, she's also supposed to be representing her race! At her age, you'd have fainted too!"
Mane sneezed.
Both Gyre and Raile turned to look at her, and Mane took a step back, smiling sheepishly. "Uh...hi. I, uh, just woke up, and couldn't help but hear you talking..."
Raile sighed and nodded. "Yes, and as you've heard, you're doing as would be expected of someone in your position. Relax. None of us are going to hurt you; go back to bed. I'll make you a little something to help you sleep."
That said, Raile nuzzled Mane's forehead slightly, before nudging her toward her room. As the filly curled on her bed, Raile returned with a stone mug and a small metal kettle. Pursing her lips, she blew a light stream of flame over the kettle, gave it a second to cool, and filled the stone mug with hot tea, before smiling, taking the kettle, and nosing the door shut.
Mane drank her tea, relaxed, and slowly drifted off.

>>21184889
---------
Morning came, insofar as a slight hint of light and Geode suddenly popping open her door meant "morning." Still, given all her time sleeping, the little filly was quite ready to begin exploring Draconum. After a quick breakfast of flatbread with tea, Geode lead her outside, and Mane found herself awestruck at another of Draconum's marvels-a great glass globe, full of fish, floating on a fount of water in the center of the great, egg-shaped room just outside Raile and Gyre's home. Bridges of rock and metal arched their way toward it, and a second egg formed entirely of platforms lay around it
After a moment's fumbling, Mane found her voice.
"Is everything in Draconum like this?"
Geode turned, tilting his head. "Huh? Well...kinda. Y'see, this is our home city, so everything here has been worked on by generations of dragons. Each wants to leave his mark, or her mark, so they all strive. This room's called the Egg Ayrie. The tenth Jarl before Rockscale commissioned it, and the finest glassblowers, metalsmiths, masons, and planners made it so, over the course of ten years. It's a point of pride for every dragon and kobold in Draconum, especially due to its size-in a pinch, everyone in this city can live here-but most of the crafters have their own apartments in the Belly. Less to travel."
Mane lifted a hoof to shade her eyes, trying to get a good idea of the scale of the Ayrie. "I'll say. How are we going to get across the room?"
Geode smirked.

>>21184895
---------
"GEOOOOOODE!"
Mane was torn. On one hand, if she closed her eyes, she wouldn't have to watch the Ayrie going past at Entirely Too Fast. On the other, if she kept them open, she'd know if she fell.
She compromised, and squinted, eyes watering. The Zipline moved entirely too fast for her tastes, even on one of the "comparatively slower" cargo trolleys. Geode had grabbed the first handle that came along and flew off at frankly ludicrous speed-and the harnesses that some adult dragons wore instead of flying were entirely too large for her.
So she compromised.
A full minute of desperately wishing for something to cling to later, Mane stumbled off the Zip Trolley and crumpled nervelessly to the ground, waiting for her heart to slow. As she struggled to her feet, she saw Geode striding nonchalantly down from the next level up, grinning impishly.
Once she felt sufficiently stable, Mane stalked over to the dragonet, frowning.
"One of these days, I am going to get you for that, Geode."
Geode's grin just widened. "Aw, c'mon. You'd have had to use the Ziplines sooner or later, better that we just got it over with. It's not that far to the Belly; as a matter of fact, we can walk."
"Walk," as it turned out, was something of an understatement. While nowhere near the amount of time it would have taken to cross the Egg Ayrie on foot, the tunnel that lead to the Belly was itself fairly long-leading Mane and Geode up stairs and down corridors, guided by a faint, warm breeze. With every minute it grew slightly stronger, accosted by the faint pings and clanks of metal.

>>21184900
---------
With a final few footsteps, Mane crested the top of the last staircase, looking into a scene painted brightly red. A brief hundred feet below, lava bubbled and steamed; for hundreds of feet in the air, ledges and catwalks rose, hollows filled with workshops and the air filled with a mighty clangor. Mane gaped, gazing up into the distance far above, as one or two dragons winged their way toward the Gullet.
Geode folded his arms behind his head in satisfaction as he looked up to the faint glimmer of daylight high above, before tapping Mane on the shoulder. When she closed her mouth and turned, he waved her over and began walking.
"C'mon. There's someone I want you to meet. Just a few levels up, I promise."
Though, as promised, it was only a "few" levels up, Mane was beginning to slow when Geode stopped before a thick, worn wooden door. The dragonet rose on tiptoes to grab the knocker, and struck it three times, before dropping back to his feet.
With a quiet buzz, the door swung open, and a voice from inside echoed-"Come in, come in! I'd come myself, but there's an important part I can't find, and if I can't find it, I'll have to make it!"
Geode chuckled and scampered in, Mane following, dubiously, at a slow trot.

>>21184910
---------
The tunnel into the workshop was chaotic, to say the least. Mane counted three half-turns, a staircase, a ladder, and five or six doors before the tunnel widened into a large room, festooned in oddly-shaped bits of metal, tools, and any number of tables-most of which were covered in piles of unidentifiable parts and gadgets . To one side, a pair of feet and a tail poked from the top of a barrel full of large scrolls, wiggling and muttering in annoyance.
"I KNOW I saw one yesterday! For that matter, I might have MADE it yesterday! But noooo, no #3 tubes anywhere. I'm mere DAYS away from a breakthrough, I know it-and I can't find the one part I'm looking for!"
Mane cleared her throat.
"Er...what does it look like?"
"Little shiny metal tube. About five inches long, two half twists, ends in a-I don't know that voice. Whose voice is that?"
The feet and tail froze for half a second, and the barrel toppeled over, its occupant pulling himself loose and adjusting the glasses on his snout. Mane stifled a giggle-as he resembled nothing quite so much as Geode, if twice the size, and with a longer, flatter head.

>>21184919
---------
Geode piped up.
"This is Mane-the Exchange Envoy from Equestria. Remember, I told you about the Council meeting?"
The older of the two snorted. "Politics. As if I pay attention to that-in the time it would take me to decipher the Draconum political alliances, I could figure out eight upgrades and a new invention. But-from Equestria, you say? An...Earth Pony, yes? Well! This is an unexpected and pleasant surprise! I suppose I should introduce myself. I," He folded one arm behind his back, settling the other across his chest, and raised his head. "am Widget Geargleam, Draconum's foremost inventor. And you are?"
Mane stifled a giggle. "I'm Flowerbright Mane, of Ponyville. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Something gleamed on the table next to her, and Mane nosed at a small pile of parts before drawing forth the requested tube.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Widget turned from setting the barrel back where it belonged, to examine the little tube-first with the bare eye, and then with a jeweller's lens. With a grin of satisfaction, he snapped one end into place in a small contraption, screwed in the other, then held it above his head, grinning.
"Ah, THANK you, my dear! Geode, you wonderful boy, you brought her at just the right time. This is JUST what I needed. Now, all I need to do is..." Widget did something with a double handful of black rock, a dribble of oil, and a bottle of water, before blowing a thin stream of flame and grinning as the gadget sputtered into life, giving off a thin stream of steam and shaking the entire table on which it sat. By fits and starts, Widget's smile dropped, and his hand rose to rub his chin as he considered the loudly rattling object.

>>21184870
Could have it's own episode.

>>21184617
Y'gonna pick them all by yourself?

>>21184922
---------
"...Well, the basic principle is correct-but the execution needs work. Lots of it. Which means better tools, and more refining..." His smile returned, bit by bit, before he strode off into his workshop, seeking various tools, leaving the contraption to itself. "Go off and introduce miss Mane to the rest of your friends, Geode. I've got a lot of work to do, and most of it will bore you silly."
Geode nodded, and with a sigh, made his way toward the exit. "C'mon, Mane. When he says it'll bore you silly, he means it. I stuck around once when he was dealing with theory, and all he did was write math on an old chalkboard for five hours. Didn't weld, build, or explode ANYTHING. I musta fell asleep, 'cuz I woke up back at my folks' apartment. Apparently he brought me home. Decent guy, aside from his habit of getting caught up in his work."
Mane nodded, cautiously stepping down the ladder. "I'll say. What is he, anyway?"
Geode half-turned his head. "Huh? Oh, right. He's a Kobold. Different variety of dragon. Don't grow wings, only one kind of fire breath, but they keep their hands into adulthood, and they're really clever with tools."

>>21184928
Aaaand that is it, for now. I need suggestions for the rest of Geode's friends; if it helps, you can think of them in terms of Twilight's friends.

The only other character I've decided on is a cook; probably a baker.

>>21184942
First time reading it all through. It's not bad.

You should bring up the subject of dragonizing the cast in the next night-/co/ thread before it autosages.

>>21184923
Well it's only the two trees. But that is still a fair amount of apples.

>>21184942
Pretty cool bro

you faggots sage Panty & Stocking I'm saging ponies

>>21184950
Arright.

Well. Widget is basically Twilight Sparkle with Pinkie Pie's demeanor-whereas Pinkie is happy about everything in general and parties in particular, Widget is fascinated by machinery and maintains half the devices in Draconum, either directly or through intermediaries.

The baker would be more even-tempered; say, Applejack's demeanor. I would say Rarity, but Rarity's approach applied to cooking would end up displeasing most dragons ("THIS? THIS PITTANCE OF A MORSEL IS ALL YOU BRING ME!? GET OUT! GET OUT! AND SOMEONE FIND A BETTER CHEF!") so the Rarity-Dragon will probably end up being someone entirely different. Perhaps the Master of Entertainments.

On consideration, Rainbow Dash's demeanor fits a fashionista nicely-especially considering the draconic style.

>>21184956
what kind are they?

my and my folks stayed at a cabin in the mountains last august, surrounded by huge apple trees, they were these very crisp yellow-green ones. delicious as fuck

>>21184982
It's a conspiracy!

>>21185009

God, this conversation came about 'cause Applejack was making me hungry. And now you aren't helping. Mmmm... apples.

>>21184956
I know what you mean. The mango tree in my backyard's giving fruit, too... perfect season not to stay under the tree.

>>21185017

>>21185009
Not sure! All the fruit trees were here when I moved in early this year. I don't even know what most of the tree's in there are yet. All I can say is that two look to be apple and one seems to be pear.

>>21184982
>>21185033
You faggot, at least My Little Pony is a western cartoon that should be discussed in /co/. Your shitty anime has its own board. Take it there.

oh, another great episode, with lots of reaction faces moment.
the little pépé le pew chase in the begining was a nice touch

I watch both

>>21185097
Why choose, best of both worlds

>>21185054
you faggot you watch a show aimed at little girls you pedo sniffing fartknocker

>>21185117
>he thinks animu isn't mostly for 12 years old

o u

>>21185122
you probably fucked a horse loser

>>21185139
Chill the fuck out man.

Some people like different things.

This is not your thing.

Go do something else. Or, y'know, go to bed.

YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
SO I'M GONNA TELL YOU SO
DON'T SWEAT IT
FORGET IT
ENJOY THE SHOW

Can someone add: "They're eating her... and then she's going to eat me!" to this one?

>>21185206
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD


while we're at requests, anybody managed to get a gif out of Dash digging into her cloud to hide from Piny Pie?

Forlorn Pinkie is forlorn

we need a humanized version of the griffin now.

Well, that's it for the west coast. Night everypony.

>>21185237

>>21185265
Good night Forward!
I might go to bed also, Good night thread.

>>21185273
thank you

>>21185265
>>21185275
Night bronies

there will never be grippin MLP toys
;_;

I watching a show about little pony toys for girls

Why am I watching a show about little pony toys for girls?

>>21185321

>>21185321
because you enjoy friendship and like to giggle at cute things.

>>21185321
Because Frankie Foster is apeshit bananas at cartoons and can turn the insipid Sweet-n-Low bullshit sacchinaria of the previous 3 generations into something legitimately fun to watch and discuss.

this show wouldn't be that enjiyable without the great voice acting. really, the ponies are just cosmetics, you could write them out of the storie and replace them with normal girls and it would still be great.

>>21185258
Well, I have seen about 2 others, but I failed to save them.

Here's a sketch I'm doing right now.
Pinkie has no body currently.

>>21185384
yes but the cute factor also adds to it, and with current animation that's hard to do with girls.

Really, what makes us watch this show is lots of little things that all work so well together

The characters are cute as a button
The animation isnt half assed
The characterisation is very solid, we all know how our ponies act
There's plenty of legitimately funny jokes and references


And of course, there's the threads, which magnify everything good about the show by 12

>>21185603
And you'd expect, upon first hearing of it, that it would be another one of those dumbed-down kiddie shows where every character goes extra slow just to make sure the 2-year-olds in the audience aren't left behind.

But it's surprisingly not.

good morning bronies! I finally got a regular night's sleep instead of staying up. Is anyone still here?

>>21185831
Don't know about tripfags, but... kind of.

>>21185831
Well, I'm just about to hit the hay.

Probably finish this picture I'm working on when I wake up.

>>21185892
well, that's nice! Sad I missed the usual uninterrupted late-night party. S'pecially after such a good episode. I hope there wasn't too much debate about Gilda

>>21185963
looks good!

>>21185991
The threads get archived over here if you want to see what kinds of stuff we discussed:
http://arch.413chan.net/
The one with the "live" tag is when people saw Gilda episode live.

>mfw
>ex girlfriend of Dash
>she's a jock dyke
>Pinkie is jealous
>Dash wants Pinkie more

Pinkie Pie is like a walking reaction image machine.

>>21186040
thanks! Now I'm all caught up.

If i get the chance, I'll draw for you dudes tonight

>>21186183

It's a pity reaction images dont convey her sound effects

I love the little noise she makes as she storms out of Twilight's library

>>21186314
Not to mention
CHOOOOCOLAAATE CHIIIIPSSS

>>21186314
Need a gif for

thiiis maaakes myyy voooiice ssoouunnd siilllyyy!

>>21186397

Already got it.. but not HD

There you are! I found the Pony thread! And bumped it!

>>21186506
Hello! Welcome to the pony thread
How did you like episode 4?
Personally I think it's tied with 3

>>21186524

I loved the part with obvious lesbians.

>>21186529
That could be any part!

>>21186397
sometimes it's hard to believe that Fluttershy and Pinkie are voiced by the same person.

they sound just way too distinct.

>>21186542

Exactly.

This episode made me like Pinkie Pie. She started annoying, but in this episode she acted kinda of cute, especially at the part she got confused if Twilight was right or not. The only Ponie that i still don't liking is Rarity , sorry, i hate snob rich people

Do you think all gryphons are jerks, or just Gilda? Maybe she's so mean because her society's ultra-competitive or something.

>>21186584
Like the rest, we'll probably cotton on to Rarity when she gets an episode to herself and can do interesting stuff. Applejack and Pinkie Pie have had episodes that pretty much focus on them and cement their personalities, I assume everyone will eventually get something similar.

Also, probably a bit late but Big Mcintosh redeems male ponies. Seconding someone's hope for a Spike and Big MC boys episode.

Also, Glinda is definitely in the 'love to hate' camp.

>>21186595
Doubt it, she's just a mean bitch. Kinda like Rainbow Dash without the redeeming qualities.

This episode taught us that while each of the other ponies could argue some kind of fighting prowess to protect Fluttershy with, Pinkie Pie's way of dealing with things is down right subtle and yet complete.

In a single event she ruined Gilda while looking completely innocent herself. She handed her the ropes to hang herself with knowing full well that Gilda's nature would suspect her and explode with fury, while all she had to do is act like herself.

If you make Fluttershy cry, the others would likely just confront you. You won't see Pinkie Pie's revenge coming and instead your own paranoia will be your downfall.

Also, apparently she's some kind of crazy engineer that can make her own flying machine powered by cycling alone that can hover under a ponies weight. Pinkie Pie clearly makes reality accept whatever the hell she is doing.

>>21186524
Ticket Master still the best, but it's kinda better than Applebuck season, the lesson was less obvious and as a foreign i can't understand one single word that Applejack says, but somehow i like her DashXApple is my OTP

>>21186595
She sort of reminds me of "that one mean girl" I would encounter throughout my young schooling years, so I'd venture a bet that there's probably some really nice griffins too. I mean, look at how different all the ponies are!

>>21186617
Funny thing is, it works either way. The party woulda been a chance for Gilda to show that she can take a joke and be sociable but she was too much of a raging bitch.

Gilda is that girl who never grew out of high school.

inthe end,; gilda left, but she didn't broke her friendship with RD. poor girl, RD is probably her last friend. foreveralone.jpg

You faggots can't be serious, by enjoy this shit your no better than /a/ with it's moeblobs.

>>21186637
Pretty sure Gilda is sleeping on the cloud couch tonight

>>21186652

>>21186652
And nobody takes action against the pony fucker.
This is the death of /co/.

>>21186584

I must confess, I'm the same way. That said, I appreciate Rarity's voice, it's simply perfect for setting that kind of character. Just listen to her go on about royalty and glamour, she herself is just a village girl with illusions of grandeur. I especially liked how she has this sophisticated fantasy for meeting the perfect boy and she keeps control right up until the point he offers her marriage where she sounds like a complete fangirl.

God damn, the voice acting in this series. The characterisation, it's perfect. They set these fairly simple character designs along with a seemingly stereotypical archetypes for everyone to represent then make them work, they sound right, they act right, their conversations despite having made up words from time to time (everypony) sound natural and they mock the stereotypes they represent.

I have trouble actually hating any of the main characters, but I do dislike Rarity the most, which given how much I went on about her says a bit for how much I like the others.

Fluttershy needs some more screen-time though, she's got her own episode coming up and she'll no doubt have to overcome her sensitivity to deal with a dragon, but that aside... that voice man, that fucking voice.

You are aware that your whining is half the reason this show is so popular

And as for ponyfuckers, eh, can't stop em, why bother

>>21186685
As we said, Rarity will probably look better with an episode to herself. Right now she doesn't have much personality beyond her prissy-but-nice rich girl stereotype, while the other characters have shown with a little screentime that they have three dimensions.

>>21186652
That's the joke, /a/ was never different, and to be honest there's only one moe character in MLP, like any other standard shoujo, and that's not a bad thing to begin with
The criticism of /a/ and /co/ about "moeblob" animes is the abuse of the moe factor, doing a series with nothing more but a bunch of cheap stereotypes (the loli, the tsundere, the koldere, etc) in "moe" situations

>>21186628

That's the genius of Pinkie in my opinion. We're left wondering if Pinkie did the true pony spirit thing and made the party for Gilda to redeem herself and get together with the community... but it's so much of a coincidence that like Gilda we can't help but think the whole thing was a machination for Pinkie Pie's revenge.

It gives Pinkie Pie that mystery of not knowing if she's really a ditz or actually a whole lot more subtle then she'll let on. Sure she loves pranks, she knows the limits and considers everyponies feelings but when she's forced out of that façade her plots are frighteningly efficient.

>>21186705
The thing about Rarity is that she isn't actually rich. I'm sure if she was then she would have relocated to Canterlot by now, or at least visited enough to not be excited at the prospect of meeting someone from there. She's just as much of a bumpkin as any of the others, she just tries to pretend she isn't. This could easily be milked for depth.

>>21186628
>Gilda is that girl who never grew out of high school.
Damn, that description fits all too well, as I've met people like that

the thing about this episode is that normal friendly people don't actually play pranks on each other like that

you don't invite someone to a party in their honor and then fuck with them, that's just mean

>>21186729
rarity sure has access to rare jewelry and top quality fabric for her clothings. I believe she is "rich" by pony standards (do they even have money?), but she's just too happy to live there and too affraid to try leaving to the "big city" where nobody knows her.

>>21186762
the prank were for everybody. apparently ponies are assholes to each others on a daily basis.

>>21186762
Well, a large theme of the episode is pranks, so I wouldn't take that as a standard. It's an episodic cartoon after all, we probably won't see any more pranks happening, at best rarely.

>>21186762
The ponies seem to be pretty vague in age and maturity. They seem to be around college age, judging by how some of them are working their own businesses, Twilight Sparkle is studying heavily and Rainbow Dash has graduated school, but this show is aimed towards kids so they'll be doing things that only make sense with kids sometimes.

>>21186812
adults are a thousand meaner to each others than kids ihmo. they just replaced the usual game of pretend and social backstab with pranks.

>>21186834
And hence why the ponies get along so well

Vent your rage with sneezing powder and invisible ink instead of screaming at them or passive aggressive bullshit

>>21186812
I kind of like that about a lot of kids shows, actually. It's kind of cute when the funny animals of the show are clearly self-reliant adults, but will often be shown coloring with crayons together or something. It's like some kind of ideal world where even the grown ups enjoy simple, silly pleasures. Except the usual problems like getting upset of childish things, ha.
Though I think the ponies have proven a LOT more than the typical maturity level so far. Outside of The Ticket Master episode, they're pretty reasonable.

Just saw it, scuse me while I make a fanboy ass out of myself.

This episode was written so well, it's kind of unbelievable for it's target audience! The entire thing with not pranking Fluttershy was perfect. It foreshadows later events, and reasonably shows that Pinky and Dash are very familiar with Fluttershy (as they should be) and it sets up where the line is drawn. The prank stuff fills up episode time in a fun way without making the WHOLE thing about Gilda (a lesser cartoon would have written her in from the beginning) and sets up to make the ending about Pinky's intentions believable. That and Gilda was so hate-able by being the bitch everyone's met at least once. Twilight's misinterpretation of the situation keeps her as a lampshading and "voice of reason" entity, as she sees right away what could have been a more obvious "lesson", even if that wasn't the case. It was nice to see that both sides of the issue were considered.

Pinkie Pie is ready for muff diving.

Man, I fucking love Pinkie's Pepé Le Pew hop

>>21184818
Holy shit. It's glorious.

>>21187350

"Niger" comes from Latin and it simply means "black".
I doubt in that word niger is used with a negative connotation as in nigger in this case (even if the two terms do share the origin obviously).

"I'm a year older than you"

I really liked how she deilvered that line. Also Pikie/Fluttershy BFF.

Feeding the trolls is not advised.

Unless they're particularly funny trolls, then by all means feed them.

>>21187632
I came when she said that

>>21187632
Totally agree. I watched the ep again and laughed just as much upon hearing it.

Meanwhile, someone requested this a thread ago, I think. Just in case they see it.

My ban has lifted! Anypony still around? I'm hoping to get the full save of that +600 post thread from yesterday sometime later today!

>>21188416
Eh, what'd you all get banned for? Nothing terrible, I hope.

>>21188442

Well, in the old thread, we were sharing contact info, so I made an e-mail account and posted it. There were about six or seven people active in the thread, and it wasn't linked to any of my others, so I thought it would be alright.

About three hours later, or so, I got slapped with a one-day ban for posting a banned URL. Something I wasn't aware was banned.

>>21188527
Well, glad to have you back.

Could your ban had to do with the fact you shared your e-mail trough a comment instead that trough e-mail form?

(I hope I've been clear enough, I'm not sure of how to call that thing.)

>>21188663

Yes, that's probably why. As I said yesterday, i'm still pretty new to posting and whatnot. I've been lurking for years, but have only begun contributing in the last couple of months.

Oh wow, this thread is still here.

Good morn- er, noon, bronies.

>>21188721
The important part is that now you know and you won't make the same mistake in the future.

By the way, have you seen the new episode?

>>21188815

I have not, no. And yes, that gives me good experience to act on next time.

Did they ever fix ep. 4?

>>21188928
Apparently not.
At least an Anon took the opportunity to rip the soundtrack from the episode.
Even if he says he would have done a much better job if he had the video file complete with the dialogs.

That rocked. Classic bully-friend episode.

How did the music turn out? I didn't get a chance to hear it.

I didn't download it, so I can't tell.

The threads are generally more active during the night.

Good morning everypony
anyone care to try to match the ponies to the gods of Norse mythology?
All I've got so far is Pinkie pie as Loki, because of the pranks and Batmanishnessisity

>>21189596
Dash can summon lightning, so..

Applejack is obviously Idunn

>>21189596
I was wondering if they had been assigned to any lanterns yet.

>>21189596
FABULOUS serpent for the Midgard Serpent.

>>21189615
But wasn't there a guy in the troll competition story who could (almosst) outrun thought?
Wouldn't that be a better fit?

>>21189638
To the pony corps of course...

>>21189596

Wouldn't Luna/Night-mare Moon make much more sense as Loki?
I mean with all the imprisonment thing and her return bringing RAGNARÖK to Equestria.

>>21189570
Indeed

i wish i had something to say or something to draw
