Rarity thread, darling!

How can you be so engrossed in little girls?

If I had a trollface.jpg I'd post it right about now

I can understand /co/ discussing and enjoying this show.

What I can't understand is why people discuss and enjoy this show so much. It borders on obsession.

>on 4chan
>self respect
nope.exe

So, Kaziklu is saying that he IS in fact capable of shame.

Interesting...

>implying anyone on /co/has self-respect

>Still I can't comprehend how /co/ can watch it and be so engrossed with it. It's after all a little girl show.

Do you know how /a/ is full of K-ON moe faggots that watch it because they want to be the little girl?

Replace "girl" with "pony" and you have /co/.

>>21603272

Not trolling. Just baffled.

>>21603282

Shame. One of the reasons I stopped writing fapfiction.

>>21603278
>>21603288

Heh, good point.

Anyone else think the way pegasus ponies mess with the weather for their own benefit is a great insult to nature?

>>21603302

No, for you see moe is there to give you an erection. Folks watch it because they want to fuck little girls. Essentially then it would be apropriate to say that /co/ wants to fuck little girl ponies.

>>21603355

>Essentially then it would be apropriate to say that /co/ wants to fuck little girl ponies.

Well duh.

Kaziklu after some of the things I've seen you do here I don't think you have any say in matters of self-respect.

Don't bother asking "such as?", we're not discussing this. If you're unaware or even proud of your actions, then you have no grounds in judging these MLP fans.

We are 4chan.

We feel no shame.

>>21603412

You're still discussing me in your comment. A hypothetical observer might hate me for my actions but he could still see the reasoning behind them regardless of his opinion about my opinions. Now how would this observer judge MLP fetishists? Probably not with hate but definitely with pity or shame for their shame.

>>21603506

I have never seen an episode of MLP in my life. I normally don't even click on the MLP threads. Yet I can name all of the main characters of the show, as well as their personalities and talents, just from browsing the front page of /co/.

>I can't understand how anyone can watch it and not feel a deep and profound shame.

It's hard to explain properly, but somehow, the shame adds to the fun. The fact that you're capable of overcoming this shame - or better: give it a place in your overall MLP experience, makes you feel strong and self-confident. Some people accuse us of being sad basement-dwellers who indulge in girly camp, but we're quite the opposite. This show doesn't weaken our minds, it strengthens it. Proud Bronies are we.

>Shame. One of the reasons I stopped writing fapfiction.

Too bad. You were very good at it.
But like I said, you shouldn't surrender to your shame, but fight and conquer it.

Why are there so many songs about Rainbow?
And what's with her blue tint hide?
Rainbow's a vision if only illusion
and she plays for the other side.

>>21603539

erectcock.jpg

You might as well post a pic of a random woman. We're talking about horses here.

>>21603412
Does this have something to do with everyone here always calling Kaziklu a pedophile? /co/ isn't my main board so I miss a lot of stuff.

Ill just post this..

>>21603602
Yeah, when Ruby Gloom was the big rage here he was all hot and bothered for wanting to fuck little kid zombies. When /co/ stumbled onto the theory that the kids may not be kids, he grew upset and incensed over the matter.

>>21603621
>On the left: ponies
>On the right: ponies

>>21603621

Both sides look retarded.

>>21603552

I disagree. Shame of doing something (or in this case watching) is a good indicator that you should cease from that activity. If shame is to be overcome then there's no stopping at any point.

>Too bad. You were very good at it.

Nope.

>>21603621

I can't believe whoever made that actually thought it explained anything better. In fact I believe it's made them worse.

In other news I'd watch a JEM & The Holograms remake, but not MLP or Care Bears or anything of that sort.

>>21603633

Actually I considered RG's crew activities as something toon kids would do so the adult thing just made it creepy for me. That's all.

However this isn't about me. Basically anyone could ask the same questions I did in OP post.

>>21603621

So adding a cuss word is supposed to make us believe this show is edgy? I don't see a difference between the two sides.

>>21603621
they look like the same thing.

If you feel shame in watching this you're clearly not nearly secure enough in your sexuality.

>>21603621
I don't think that helps anyone's case at all~

>>21603754
Yes. But you also could have posted without your trip. Now, it is about you. And your affinity for ponies. You equinophile.

I'm not sure why I should have shame for indulging in a quality cartoon targeted outside my demographic.

>>21603795 You equinophile.

Pedofilly.

>>21603848

>>21603789

That's a bad argument. Everything you watch or do affects you in some way. We aren't made of stone. And the issue isn't about that but rather with the ease with which /co/ latched on to this show. That's what I have trouble with. It implies weakness and a lack of shame.

Likewise for this reason I can't take anyone here seriously anymore.

>>21603886

It's a quality cartoon done by talented people. Yes, it's about Ponies. But that doesn't distract from the quality of it.

>>21603886
>We aren't made of stone

>>21603912

Would you wear a frilly pink dress made by the best tailors just because it was skillfully sewn?

>>21603937
Is it the most comfortable thing I have ever worn?

>>21603937

No, but that's because I'm not into frilly pink dresses. But I am into good cartoons.

>>21603886
I have such a thing as shame - but I save it for things that matter. And if you want to bring up the influence of fictional themes, well... out of all the aesthetics that might rub off on me from popular medium these days, "friendship is magic" doesn't seem like such a bad option.

>>21603886
Not feeling shame over fairly trivial things like whether or not you're watching a mature/male/adult enough show is a sign of good mental health. Being able to enjoy something on its merits isn't a character flaw.

>>21603271
Because the smaller mouths make it better

So yeah. MLP is pretty cool...But nobody's been able to tell me why /co/ goes so crazy over it compared to other cartoons. Like, I understand why you guys are discussing it as it's a nice cartoon. But there are, at any one time, at least three pony threads on the front page and I do not understand why. I mean, we don't have this level of fanaticism for shows of equal or greater quality (Sym-Bionic Titan, Adventure Time, etc) so what makes the ponies so special?

>>21603409
Sentient ponies with the personalities of little girls yeah

>>21603974

see

>>21603302

>>21603886
i can't believe this is coming from one of the biggest ruby gloom fans on this board

if mlp were exactly the same but with little girls instead of ponies you'd be all over it and you know it

>>21603912

I beg to differ - MLP:FIM is a staggeringly average cartoon, and that's not even 'average in a sea of tripe', I mean average compared to the market - Generation Rex, Ben 10, Adventure Time, MAD, Johnny Test, Transformers Prime, etc.

You know what would actually be worth the threadspam? Something like Symbionic Titan, and not for the fucking stupid dance scene that everyone on /co/ keeps jizzing over nowadays. Instead we have little girls playing with their ponies.

>>21603886
For me the enjoyment isn't all about the characters or plot, but also picking up on the references and side jokes the writers and animators slip in. The kind of stuff kids wouldn't get. Like Full metal jacket, LotR, The A-team. It's there if you pay attention

>>21603974

Really? I remember seeing a whole hell of alot of Avatar and Adventure Time threads, once upon a time.

>>21603974
It's more like
>no pony thread
>pony thread is created
>pony thread 404s
>people scramble to make the next thread
>THREADS ERRYWHERE

>>21603974
could be any number of things
- room for interpolation and fancraft
- scratching an itch that isn't being scratched by other /co/-related media
- guilty pleasure (because face it, even if you have no problem with it you have to recognize that it's weird)
- subliminals
and that's just off the top of my head

>>21603974
They're an amazing source of reaction images and are already proving to be pretty strong characters in a market dominated by one-notes. Also, storytelling that doesn't rely on bad guy of the week.

Finally, sheer amount of cute factor.

>>21603974
Because this board is filled with faggots. See OP for example

>>21603965
>>21603967

I don't think there's anything that could be called "small and insignificant."

>>21603974
>But there are, at any one time, at least three pony threads on the front page and I do not understand why.
Because there's always 1 Active Pony thread.
Then there's at least 20 troll threads and "HURPDERP YOU GUYS MAKE TOO MANY PONY THREADS SO INSTEAD OF MAKING A GOOD CARTOON THREAD I'LL MAKE A THREAD TO INSULT YOUR PONY THREAD"
And then there's sometimes threads where the OP can't find the pony thread, so they just post something pony related in an entirely new thread.

And then there are those who don't care for looking for the pony thread on page 13, 7, 4 or 3, so they make their own.

>>21604065
Well, no wonder you're complaining about brony pony threads on the internet then.

Really, it's easier to just realize that our fandoms aren't the biggest things in the universe, that there are more important things and that it's okay to like well done pony shows.

If you want to understand why /co/ took a liking to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, first you must take a look at the previous MLP animated series, partner.

The original series, called "My Little Pony and Friends" was your generic 80's cartoon aimed to sell toys for girls: Foced cuteness everywhere, lots and lots of characters (minus a personality), some stupid songs, cardboard villains and the forced morals at the end of each episode, PLUS 3 annoying human sidekicks that always ended up solving all the problems anyways. It hasn't aged well, and watching it now would feel like torture.

The second series removed the humans and put the ponies into a "normal" world to attempt a slice of life cartoon instead of the fantasy theme of the previous one. Except that "slice of life" for them equaled to "stories about parties, shopping, love crushes and banal crap."
It was a bad series to begin, it feels even worse now.

The third series was a piece of crap made of nothing but clichés, flash animation and "BUY OUR STUFF NOW", so the least said about said series, the better.

The fourth series, aka "Friendship is Magic" surprised everyone because it avoided the previous mistakes and was actually good. It's fun to watch, it's nicely animated (it avoids the "2-view" or "talking heads" cliche of the previous series) the background music is good and unique for each character, and said characters finally have... a character of their own.

/co/ expected it to be a massive flop, but it wasn't. That's all.

Yup.

>>21604136
Truly you are a font of knowledge Mac.

Yo. Someone give me some Twilight Sparkle reaction images.

Prefably without captions, but they'll do.

>>21604327

>>21604327

>>21604136
Thanks Mac. Now I dont feel like an idiot for posting the litttle "What we are watching/What co thinks we are watching" chart.

I dont even have to say winter wrap up

Can we put some gifs in as well?

you know what I liked

this is most obvious in the GIlda and Trixie episodes but the morals don't seem forced.

In the old shows both Gilda and Trixie would have made a sappy apology and everyone would be forgiving and then make friends

not here. Gilda and Trixie are botched and get what they deserve. Moreover Rainbow Dash actually had to make a real choice between her old and new friends. there was no everyone wins scenario

>>21604477
That's because the League of Discord is teaming up for the season finale. You have 17 episodes to prepare for this.

>>21603249
You concept of self respect is REVERSED.
Having self respect is the ability to watch and do what you want WITHOUT feeling shame, because you HAVE self respect. Not watching something just because other people look down on it, or tell you your not supposed to like it, is the very basis of NOT having self respect.

All your post is really saying OP, is that all the /co/mrades who are enjoying a show they like and feeling no shame about it are actually quite full of self respect, a quality you apparently lack

god i wanna fuck those ponies

So apparently this guy browses /co/.
Look at the computer's wallpaper

>>21604543
..... thoughtful response on ma /co/

its almost like old times

People subconsciously associate an adult's obsession/enjoyment of a child-targeted hobby with one of two things: a stunted/damaged mindset, or an obsession/enjoyment of children.

>>21604543
>Having self respect is the ability to watch and do what you want WITHOUT feeling shame, because you HAVE self respect.

Doing what you want and then not feeling shame isn't the same as self-respect.

For example, kicking a 5 year old boy in the crotch, pissing on his face while he's down and then walking away without caring as everyone looks down on your actions isn't self-respect. It isn't even any kind of respect. Inb4 you point out "those are two different things" my point is your definition is flawed.

We all know what self-respect is, so there's no point in sugar coating and playing with words. Honestly I don't know why any of you even care what OP or anyone else says, it has no considerable effect, significance or influence unless you choose to make it so.

>>21604477

What I like is how the episodes keep people entertained and the little twists added prevent the cliches used from becoming annoying: I think everyone knew that Fluttershy was going to end up becoming badass at the end of the spisode, but all the crap her friends had to endure before that was bloody fun to watch.
The way as they respect and remember what happened on previous episodes, like Spike's crush on Rarity or Fluttershy befriending the Manticore was also a good detail, as most cartoons tend to forget everything between episodes.

If the next cartoons can follow FiM's example, this decade will be much better than the previous one.

Yup.

>>21604639
So basically you don't actually know the difference between confidence and self respect VS being a complete sociopath, and decided to tell us.

I honestly wish I could be surprised.

>>21604543

You misunderstood. My OP post isn't about OTHERS judging you. The key word in self-respect is SELF, and that's what I'm getting at. How can anyone watch this (alone, unwatched and unhindered) and not feel shame is what confuses me.

>>21604573
Hahhaa, that's awesome.

sage

>>21604684
Dang, Mac is full of wisdom today

>Kaziklu
>MLP

sounds about right

Dude, I fucking hate cartoons. I'm on /co/ because I love comic books.

It used to aggravate me to no end seeing MLP threads all over the place, when I'm trying to find a thread on the latest Teen Titans release or what's happening in Brightest Day.

And then I decided, "Well, shit. I should at least watch the show; if I need to tell them to fuck off I'll be informed."

And I found the show is awesome. It's awesome because over-exaggeration is funny as hell. And it's short. I can watch an episode and go back to doing whatever the hell I was doing.

The point I'm driving at is this; do what I did. Watch it to be informed, and then try and say you aren't a fan.

The More You Broooooo(ny)

>>21604738

Anti-sage.

What a shitty, shitty show. Horrible fucking animation (almost as bad as Johnny Test) and the voices make me want to kill myself. Not to mention the shitty designs that look like they came right out of Chris-chan's sexual fantasies.

Not even trolling.

I'd say he's more interested in trolling and necrophilia if you ask me.

>>21604700
Maybe I don't understand shame as well as the rest of you, but I only feel shame if someone finds out that I'm doing something. Like if I have a picture of a half-naked Ahsoka as my wallpaper, I'm not ashamed of it until I leave my laptop open and my roommate walks in and sees it and reacts appropriately. Then I'm ashamed.

Same thing for MLP, I guess. I know exactly how my friends would react, so I don't let them see that I'm watching it. While I'm watching it I enjoy it for all the reasons wise old Mac stated. Its animated well, its something different than aliens/powers/teen drama, and its done well. If I was ashamed while watching it, I wouldn't watch it. But I would be ashamed if people found out, so I keep that shit on the down low.

>>21604700
What is there to be ashamed about? I'm not hurting anybody. Quite the opposite. It's making me happy, and exposing it to new people in turn makes them happy (most of the time).

In the immortal words of Erasure, "there will be no shame."

>>21604788
So have you actually watched the show yet?

>>21604788 Not even trolling.

You are right, that can't even be considered trolling.

A real troll can present competent arguments to cause doubt and self-questioning on the other side, you simply barfed things out of your pie hole like a complete foal.

Yup.

>>21604700
Wait, let me get this straight. A cartoon show about ponies seriously lowers the respect you have for yourself?

Dude.

Two suggestions; either ignore MLP threads, or watch an episode and then decide.

OP, I could make an exceeding long comment about how you're obviously too connected to this idea of living in a society which expects you to behave in a specific manner in order to "fit in" and follow the stability of a completely bland world filled with a rapidly degenerating sense of importance in art and entertainment, but I'll just post this picture of Luke Skywalker staring off into space while contemplating the future of our species and how it is undoubtebly going to develop in a limited way thanks to the common opinion.

>>21604945
I actually love animals. Thinking about people doing shit like that gets me furious.

>>21604961
Because Pokemon is a franchise with a bunch of different types of shit, and MLP is a cartoon/toy line.
Not to mention the Pokemon Generals on /v/ were because of everyone circlejerking, so they made quite a few threads.

MLP is contained to mostly one-three threads at a time. And multiples are only because bronies can't find the first general thread. If you ignore the troll threads, of course. There are more pony troll threads than there are Batman threads.

>>21604975

I figure if you get a couple as fast as Dash it would be super easy for pairs to fly around with tripwires, takes the legs out from anyone on the ground

hmm...maybe
but the real combat is done by unicorns, and ponies who get horns strapped onto their heads
any other pony is simply a support role, or manning the trebuchets/catapults

>>21605062

What about the unicorns like Twilight and Trixie who specialize in magic? They couldn't possibly be in the front lines, right?

>>21604975
Unicorns have different magical capabilities based on something or whatever. I forgot how they explained it. Like since Rarity's talent is fashion, her magic is based on that, and since Twilight's talent is magic, she can do all sorts of crazy shit.

So if a unicorn's talent is accuracy, precision, or sight, a pegasi could carry a unicorn around the battlefield, pinpointing enemy encampments and reporting their locations back to the pony hq.

>>21605098

You can do whatever you want in life.

>>21605132

if a unicorns "talent" can be changed then part of their training is giving them better war-time skills

It amuses me that the people who are annoyed think /co/ is going "crazy" over mlp. For most cartoons, there's usually some place to discuss it. There is no real place to discuss MLP (I've tried, on four different forums, and nobody will respond to a MLP thread). We discuss it where we can, which is /co/. If you think /co/ dominates our lives... you're pathetic.

Very few of us are on /co/ 24/7 discussing ponies. It's just the only place to discuss them when we want to.

>>21605118 raisin.

actually, lets just say unicorns are the officers
either that or their squad seargents, their horns leading the charge

I would be great help een any war.

But not for free.

Would cost to have me work for EITHER side of confleect.

Doktor also kneet me new hat.

Ees good, no?

I would imagine that the unicorns wouldn't be used as deep-strike troops. If we're using their D&D-ish wizard interpretation, they're glass cannons. Some are likely used as medics and support-magic types. Those that specialize in offensive abilities would likely be put on pegasus chariots and made to use hit and run tactics.

>>21605201

>STOP DISAGREEING WITH MY OPINION

>>21605221

or maybe theres just a total media blackout on the war, most people dont even know about it until the draft ponies come knocking on their door, or derpy walks up and delivers a folded up flag

>>21603249
I think it's just because I feel like I've been missing a cartoon with this style lately. it feels like powerpuff girls or foster's home for imaginary friends. Like that a show like this has always been there to complete a cartoon line-up and that for a while now it had been missing from my cartoon network only diet.

I wish this cartoon was on Cartoon Network.

I'm pretty sure a unicorns talent is based on their cutie mark theme and their cutie marks are earned when they are young and seem to represent their favourite interest.

Now all unicorns get a bit of innate magic towards their interest, it's not exactly something you can change at will. If Applejack were a unicorn she would get farming magic that might help her grow apples quicker or simply good TK to harvest better. Pinkie Pie's would be kind of like Trixie's in the sense she would be all about show and parties, so impressive looking for celebrations but little practical use.

If you wanted war ponies, you'd have to train them from youth from those ponies who show interest in whatever form of military application you want from them.

Though really, to me it seems like the Pegasus are the warrior caste of Pony society as they often get guard roles and have great mobility. Unicorns seem like pony experts who have the ability to do delicate and complicated jobs complete with research. Earth Ponies on the other hand are more the worker caste of Pony society with greater strength and endurance.

Of course, every pony in Equestria is treated with respect, so being a Earth pony is no worse than being a unicorn. Everyone finds their niche through their cutie mark and it seems they have no problem with supporting everyone fairly. Sure, some are rich and some aren't, but most ponies seem content with things.

I haven't watched My Little Pony and never really plan to, but it gets my approval simply for the inevitable shitstorm discussing it brings.

I hope the show goes on forever.

>>21605321

ahh, speaking of the rich
thats one way to avoid the draft, you can either pay up front or, like what a lot of the apple families do...a percent of their harvest goes directly to the war effort.

fucking socialism

>>21605360

ehh, it helps keeps males at home, so theres still widdle baby ponies being made

YES another poorly formed argument against My Little Pony based on target Demographic. Allow me to for a counter argument OP. The target Demo means nothing. For insistence the Power Puff Girls target Demo wasn't meant for people our age. Neither was about half of the shows /co/ likes.
Also someone said Rarity thread.

Something about it feels classic. Like, it uses all the old jokes everyone has forgotten instead of being new and edgy.

I find it funny that no one points out that My Little Pony shows how many female users there are on /co/.

I really do thing is a good potion of females that are making/posting the threads, not the fat neckbeard that everyone seems to assume.

I've noticed this image doesn't make the rounds like it used to.

>>21605399
It's a bit outdated. That was made just after the first episode, I think.

What's with all the strawmanning in this thread? Pic related: it's what the "bronies" seem to be acting like.

>>21605397

That would explain all the thin-skinned Gaia-esque posts recently.

>>21605426
Except the bronies aren't talking for the other side, so it's not strawmanning at all. It's them really being strawmen in the first place.

Bronies. Can one of you explain to me why time and time again this show instantly makes me smile? as soon as I turn it on or listen to one of the songs I start beaming like an idiot.

Spike is actually Celestia's secret weapon to end the war.
Whenever he is strong enough, she will confiscate him from Twilight and begin training him for mass destruction of forest and elves alike.

>In the end it isn't a matter of quality but self-respect.

Not to instigate a serious attack, which I bet I will, but as a female person I take great offense to these sorts of comments. Is the person who posted this suggesting that no self respecting person would dare stoop to be so pathetic as to be anything like a young girl? Are little girls really the most despicable kind of person anyone could share interests with? They way people talk sometimes, it's as if girls are the most stupid, worthless people in the world.

These threads are popular because its such a hot topic.

I read a magazine from 1920 and it dealt with: Politics, abortion, pedophiles, and how to save money.

TL;DR people love it and love to hate it, making it popular.

Welcome to 4chan.

>>>21605589
Uh.. dude... now you are trying too hard. Lets try to keep our heads in the stratosphere and not outer space.

>>21605637

fiine, i have no explanation for spike & dragons

i stand by fluttershy being a double agent though

>>21605650

no, BUNNIES are the reincarnated souls of humans!

>>21605650
A bunny revolt? Well... there are a LOT of bunnies...

>>21605669
You really like the reincarnation stuff eh?

>>21605461
>Except the bronies aren't talking for the other side, so it's not strawmanning at all.
>posts full of greentext, misquoting and STOP LIKING WHAT I HATE reaction images

Mmm, yes, quite.

>>21605675

the stampede in ponyville was a simply a test to see what harm they could do now, the elven watchers were unsatisfied and fluttershy has been asked to at least double their stength

>>21605689

im just trying to integrate humans back in while still staying to the idea they are(mostly) gone

>>21605700

No, no, no. Fluttershy has no idea she is working for the other side. It's Angel who makes her do things, as seen in the Ticket episode. HE is the double-agent, she is just an unwitting pawn.

>>21605723

ohfuck, this is why i voice my ideas on /co/
genius

>>21605700
Ah see now that's something. Against the trained elite of the Equestrian army, the bunnies would probably only leave a big dent.
But against the untrained masses of Equestrian civilians? A slaughter.

>>21605744

its not even just the actual fatalities, its the fact celestia now has to divert attention from the frontline back home

Hey guys!
I'm coloring one of King Cheetah's works, as something of a Christmas gift, I guess. Here's the current progress.
I'd like to know, what colors do you suggests for her tanktop, pants and buckle, and wristbands?

>>21605781

lime green tanktop and black pants

now....heres a question
HOW did the war get started?

>>21605528

Cry more. I'm a girl, and I'm not offended by that. What does bother me, though, is the way everyone seems to assume that the fan base is made up of pedophile males. Whenever girls come in to say that it's not just creepy guys that like it, the haters suddenly disappear because they have nothing to say to that.

I think MLP is threatening the sexuality of some of the more insecure people on this board. They're not trolling, they're merely so insecure about their own sexuality that they have to accuse everybody else of being fags/pedophiles to feel better.

I feel sorry for them.

how many more hours until the slumber party ep is out

>>21605827
Elves made a border grab for ANCIENT MAGIC. THOSE DUMB PONIES CAN NEVER FIND OUT OR THEY'LL JUST RUIN IT WITH THEIR HOOVES.

>>21605695
Green text doesn't made the sentence a strawman. For example,
>Bronies overreact about people not liking a show
>MON VISAGE
You see how that's what you're trying to say and how that's not a strawman?

>>21605827

im thinking either the elves were around but a neutral party when equestria decimated the human empire. and now their fighting/setting this stalemate out of sheer fear of being taken over

either that, or the elven gods killed one of celestias mates or children

>>21605856

ahh, the eldar method

I'm 22, male, go to Uni, have a great social life, and enjoy this cartoon. Not everyone meets the bad stereotypes.

>>21605856
>>21605873

oh! equestra invaded the human empire for ancient human magic
so now the elves are invading cuz they want the magic too

>>21605834
Just 20 more hours.

>>21605932
>ancient human magic
>mfw it's nukes
IT'S ALWAYS NUKES

Could someone provide a link to episode 3 download? I'm behind.

>>21605967

of course its nukes!
but the ponies cant use them...why?
NO THUMBS

Oh god. I'm actually excited for the next episode.
What have you done to me /co/?!

>>21605480

>>21605985
okok, in all seriousness
back when the human empire realized it was about to hit the shitstorm, the keycard for the nuclear arming system was given to the elves. the elves promised to exact vengeance on equestria for the atrocities it commited against their human bros

Could someone give the story behind Derpy Hooves?

>>21606037

so now theres a nuclear stockpile right under celestias castle, and all the elves need to do is get in there, arm the nukes and watch this aeons long vendetta be done

>>21606065
This is all I have.

Hopefully some other brony has the rest.

>>21606011
im hoping for a shower scene next episode where they wash each other thats what girls do at slumber party right? nonstop lesbian sex

>>21606065
>>21606095

A pony appeared originally in the scene in the first episode at the party, and it's eyes were derpy. And /co/ fell in love, and named it Derpy Hooves.

THEN after the fandom grew, someone mentioned it on deviantArt to Faust, who remarked that all background ponies have no names, but that they had an idea for a retarded-pony who delivered mail named Ditzy Doo or something.

And suddenly Derpy Hooves was the town mail carrier.

guys

guys

what if

WHAT IF

This show takes place in the future

And the ponies are actually ponies mutated by nuclear fallout

but no one knows because well they're ponies

>>21606065
Derpy in all her canon glory.

>The writing is actually competent
>The writing is actually good

I need an answer on this:Is this part of the joke?

>>21606181
Not exactly. The mail thing started purely as fanfiction written right here on /co/. Ditzy Doo is apparently just some "less-than-intelligent" pegasus that will appear in the show at some point.

>>21606214

naw, humans got their asses beat in before they could launch the nukes
see: all the houses still have doorknobs, thus their fucking old houses

>>21606181
>an idea for a retarded-pony who delivered mail named Ditzy Doo or something.
It was just a "less-than-intelligent" pegasus named Ditzy Doo
The mailmare thing came from /co/ writefaggotry

>>21606224
Nope.
Just because the show looks childish doesn't mean the writing, directing, and voice acting all are too.

>>21606224
It's truth.

Yes, I know. I was surprised too.

>>21606104
Dat pony mayor...Dem glasses..HNNNG!

I wish this thread wasnt just Bronies defending the show and trolls trolling.

>>21606334
Seconded.
D:

So a woman who watches Transformers, Ben 10 or any other show aimed for little boys is automatically a lesbian and should feel shame?

>>21606334

hey im being a legit writefag here
not neccasarily being GOOD, but...

>>21605873
>>21605932
>>21606037
Okay... so... am I to understand that this cartoon is about evil pony barbarians invading some human country? And elves are fighting them? What the fuck. Are they... the kind of elves you'd get in LotR? Or midget elves?

This all sounds vaguely hilarious.

>>21606278
>>21606291

Fair enough. I pulled all that crap I wrote out of my ass, having only watched the episodes yesterday, and asked about Derpy Hooves myself last night.

Brain still hurts from ponies.

>>21606377

one this is all speculation
two no, the ponies invaded and killed all humans a long-ass time ago
three....tolkien esque i guess, but they were total bros with humans when they were around

>>21606360
>mfw somebody points out what absolutely nobody else mentioned before

>>21606361
Fair point but 2 or 3 on track Bronies does not an on track thread make. I might just start dumping macros to lighten the mood.

>>21606104
I can just Imagine him saying
"Cancel all my appointments today Ms.Bellum!
Hehehehe, I just looove pony rides!"

>>21606420

PINKIE PIE MACROS

>>21606420
Shit or even posting the AMVs for each pony thats better than this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LE6DJj0ngU

>>21606405
So... the ponies are the bad guys? That's sort of interesting.

so ive been thinking about this image.

I think Twilight is a genetic hybrid that Celestia and Nightmare Moon bred as the ultimate weapon in the war against the elves. A creature with all of both the alicorns powers disguised as a simple unicorn. After tutoring her for years Celestia has sent her out to "make friends" ie work alongside the ponys she will be commanding when the day comes for every pony to raise arms and march forth in defense of equestria. The elves, suspecting something from this sudden appearance of an otherwise unknown unicorn assign their greatest agent, Fluttershy, to infiltrate her war cabinet. Hence why the otherwise incredibly shy fluttershy spends time with her and in Ticket Master she enters her house to "clean" (look for secrets) and try and go to the gala, a place she would otherwise avoid like the plague.

The whole nightmare moon/elements of harmony confrontation was just a testing of her powers/systems as well as a test by celestia as to whether or not her "programming" could be triggered remotely, hence the blank eyed stare and abnormal powers. Nightmare just played along as part of the test, hence why celestia didnt banish her back to the moon.

>>21606445
I get that request too much. But I love helping the pony folks.

EET EES MANLIER THAN MOST.

>>21606525
In fact, I wouldnt be surprised at all to discover that the nightmare moon prophecy was entirely fake, a false trail laid by celestia and nightmare moon to test their creation. Note all the other ponies having never heard of it or the elements of harmony, its only existence being in twilight's books, the fact that the moon still rises and night still happens when nightmare moon is "imprisoned" etc. Would be a lot easier to make an image of an alicorn appear and disappear on the moon than to imprison one of the most powerful creatures in equestria for 1000 years but then suddenly have that imprisonment fail almost on command.

The pony-millitary-industrial complex grinds away producing thousands of mind blanked twilight sparkles, the ultimate front line shock troop to counter the elves nature magic.

/a/non here.
I feel it isn't much of a stretch from the "cute girls doing cute things" shows I'm used to.

>>21606360

Seriously guys. How come no one gives a shit if a woman watches a show aimed for little boys, hell you even find it awesome and cool because OMG you can talk about cartoons with a member of the opposite sex, nobody calls these women dykes because they enjoy something aimed for boys, but as soon as a man likes something cute that is obviously meant for boys he's suddenly labeled as a fag.

>OP establishes why we like it (also becuase it is cute, which given we have a freaking board enjoying cute stuff isn't anything shocking)

>OP then ignores precisely what he just said and presses a shallow-mined non-issue which is easily excused by the previous point.

>>21606525

So Twilight is Ender?

Awesome.

>>21606820
Because men are more openly uncomfortable with their sexuality than women.

>>21606902
Lol wut?

>>21606820
latent trans/homophobia instilled by warped cultural values concerning women and "girly" things. And of course no one talks about it because talkin' about them feelings and stuff isn't manly and is therefore for fags.

>>21606820

>meant for girls he's suddenly labeled as a fag.

Fix'd

Also I bet if this show was called Little Horse Adventure no one would have any problem with it.

>>21606902

Men are expected to fulfill a role. Throughout their lives, they respond to the pressure to become men accordingly. Whenever someone breaks free from society's idea of what man should be, it scares people. It scares them because they've spent their entire lives trying to build up their manly image/ego, only to have it threatened by someone who breaks free from the cycle. Some fathers are terrified to hug their own children because it wouldn't be seen as "manly". The same thing applies here.

THE BEST AMV EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nq8vdA8i0U

>>21606959

To be honest when I first saw ponies infesting /co/ I also found it weird because let's face it, so far My Little Pony was just merely a bland vehicle of selling toys for little girls and the old cartoons were all disgustingly sappy, but I actually watched the show to see what's all this is about and I liked it because it's good and I enjoy it so I don't give a shit if it's aimed for boys or girls.

>>21606763
>>21606686
>>21606525
for that, have a princess Twilight sketch from the FiM production Crew.

>>21607058

So, does anyone else think the brief second when Twilight drinks the hot sauce and catches on fire is a subtle reference in the G1 Ponies being lit on fire?

>>21607166
Nope.

>that's a RARITY

Anyway is the Apllejack obamaicon or whatthefuckever it's called done?

>>21607084
There's a color version now

>>21607180

The sad thing is when you realize that they all went to that party.
And none of their dreams were fulfilled.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nq8vdA8i0U

>>21607251
But the Gala was set for some vague date in the future.
There's no evidence it has even happened yet!

>>21607266
I know, right? The audacity of some trolls.

>>21607300
I think they actually give a date in the invitation. I forget what it is though - can't check from here.

>>21607323
The twenty-first day of.. yadda yadda yadda.. cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest.

>>21607323
Spike skips over the month. But it's probably the 21st of December, as that's the winter solstice.

>>21607337
Darn. Remembered there being a month on there.

Well, we already know that the first season spans at least half a year (summer solstice - following spring) so it's a good chance they will have gone already.

>>21607378
...shouldn't it be the summer solstice? Twilight says its summer when Fluttershy is cleaning her house.

>>21607403
I don't recall, but I could just be thinking of the Winter Wrap-Up video. All the solstices land on the 21st day of a month though, so you can probably take your pick as to which one it is.

inb4 there's a GGG on every solstice

>>21607403
Oh right, the gala doesn't necessarily happen soon. Whatever.

>>21607251
We dont know the time line for some of the episodes.

>inb4 there's a GGG on every solstice

>>21607403
Summer solstice was the pilot. I'm guessing if the GGG falls on a sun edge, it's the autumnal equinox (21st of September).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aCDtxPUGPQ

>>21607658

Except a big part of the GGG is the gardens and flowers in bloom in stuff. It would make the most sense for it to be the Spring Equinox.

>>21607717
Hmmm, that means they're getting the tickets like 9 months earlier? Hmmm.

>>21607251
/r/ that one write-up about the possible post-Ticket Master episode involving the GGG and the dashing of all hopes.

>>21607782

I mean, it's theoretically possible. When planning a wedding on the first things you do, months or even years before the actual date is to send out the invites so you can work out seating arrangements.

>>21607782
Makes sense, actually. The Grand Galloping Gala is just their version of the San Diego Comic-Con. Rarity is a cosplayer and hopes to win the costume contest, Fluttershy checks out the exhibit hall and all the little statuettes and figurines, Applejack sets up her own shop in the hall, Pinkie Pie runs around grabbing swag, Dash, maybe, does a bunch of performances in-hall in the hopes of getting in front of a camera, and Twilight and Spike are in it for the panels.

You know?

>>21607792
Copypasted

I cam up with an idea for a more melancholy episode a while back. It was about the girls finally going to the Gala and having to deal with the reality of things versus their wild fantasies. Applejack makes good money selling her wares, but not enough to fix both her house and Granny's hip. Rarity is largely ignored as just another guest and learns that Celestia has no nephew. Rainbow Dash shows off for the Wonderbolts, but is scorned for upstaging them during a show. Fluttershy discovers that the royal gardens don't have hummingbirds that really hum and buzzards that really buzz. And Pinkie Pie finds that she can't pay for all the gourmet treats she wants to eat.

Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle and Spike, having not hinged their hopes and dreams on the Gala, both have a wonderful time. Twilight's letter in the end will be about how life doesn't always work out the way you want it, but with the love and support of good friends, everything will work out for the better.

>>21607782
Only 9 months early? Do you know how long it takes Rarity to find THE most fabulous outfit?

>>21607872
+ here's a screenshot of the original post (just found it)

>>21607872

So here's the thing. The 6 ponies basically saved the entire goddamn land of Equestria once, arguably twice at this point. While that's fine and dandy in Ponyville/Ponytown if they were to go to a place like Canterlot wouldn't they suddenly have to deal with the reality of being heroes and super celebrities to everybody else?

I mean, Rarity would probably be the only one equipped to handle it.

I find Fluttershy to be the most adorable thing ever.

she is my new Waifu.

Is there something wrong with me?

>>21607872
>>21607949
Wow... I can't believe somebody saved my idea. Feels good man.

>>21607955
You're implying that anybody has ever heard of them outside of Ponyville. Princess Celestia's tendrils reach far and wide; there is no hiding from the H.O.O.F. Organization.

>>21607971
PinkiePie cant afford all the sweets?
noone charges people for the food at a party.

>>21608012
Are you a writefag? Were you considering writing it out as an episode or something?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E9qHoGevZI

>>21608065
Did you forget about Applejack's plans to sell food at the party?

>>21608012
the thread archive sees all, knows all :)

This is coming from the nazi pedo?
Fuck you kaz

>>21608065
It's not a party, it's a festival
Good luck getting free food at one of those

>>21608069
Eh... I dabble in writefaggotry. I was considering it, but I'm already kind of working on a fic about Celestia's plan to transfer her soul into Twilight. That may be next on the agenda.

>>21608065
Applejack apparently does.

>>21608065
It's probably one of those festival type things where, in addition to the formal dinner and dance (free due to invitation), there's stalls and stuff set up during the day

>>21607143
>>21607058
>Same link to the same unfunny video

>>21607506

>>21608081
>Gilda is a man
I KNEW IT ALL ALONG

I wonder if the My Little Pony franchise in general has its own convention, like Transformers. I'd assume not, but there ought to be at least one yearly gathering among MLP fans out there, if only for the MLP customizing groups, you know?

>>21605967
>>21604846
>MFW Blacksad reaction images

>>21608235
The hilarious thing is that the majority of us who are only fans of the new MLP would probably not be interested in going to an MLP con.

>>21608251
Yeah, I know, but like I said, there has to be at least one trading post out there in the custom MLP toy group.

Ehh, I guess that's what BBS forums are for.

>>21608040

You have to assume that word would spread, especially over the time passed between them saving the world from eternal night and whenever the GGG happens.

For example, all of Applejack's family was there -- they met Twilight right at the start. But later in Applebuck Season AJ mentions they've all gone home, and that they live all over the country.

Add to that the idea that it was eternal night -- Celestia was supposed to raise the sun at that very moment. Instead, the Mare in the Moon vanished and it stayed night for a long ass time, which would have been everywhere, not just Ponyville. Inquiring minds would have been trying to find out what happened.

I think it's sort of impossible for lots of people to not know at least who they are after that.

>>21607955
or did they?

>>21608293
I see you aren't rolling with the whole Mein Führer Celestia idea from these threads. Oh well.

Yeah, Rarity would probably love the spotlight, though I'd bet that Dash would promote herself as much as possible. Pinkie would try to attend every party, and Fluttershy would hide away from everybody.

>>21604639
I agree. But I have an even better example.
Chris-Chan!

>>21608293
The trouble is that the actual action only happened off in the middle of the forest at the old castle. What people saw was
1) Night Mare Moon shows up to gloat
2) Twilight Sparkle calls her out on her identity
3) NMM skedaddles.
4) TS's friends follow her off somewhere.
5) ????
6) Sun rises
7) Princess Luna makes her returning debut
8) Celestia puts TS in town long-term.

There would be rumors, sure. But it's hardly anything decisive to those who weren't there when it happened.

I still don't know why are you discussing this shame shit.

There are more shameful things in life than watching a show about ponies, and then posting about them on an anonymous imageboard.

Seriously.

>>21608418

I can give you that one, but what about stopping the dragon from covering Equestria in smoke for 100 years? That one was totally out in the open; dragon smoke, followed by the 6 getting ready and heading for the dragon, followed by the dragon up-and-leaving. The thing is shown to be so massive the citizens of Ponyville would have seen it leaving, and then the safe return of the six ponies.

>>21608466
It's become a de facto MLP General anyway. Nobody really cares whatever chip OP had on his shoulder at this point.

>>21608418

But nobody thinks to ask "Who the shit is Princess Luna?" and follow that path of questioning? Twilight is the only one who knows who she is as Nightmare Moon, and it seems like nobody knew who Luna was.

>>21608498
Haven't seen ep7 yet. But yeah, that one's probably gonna turn some heads.

>>21608553

That's what I'm saying. With the way this show is going there's no logical way they won't be stupid famous amongst other ponies.
In Ponyville they're sheltered from it because everybody knows them already, but in a high-density place like Canterlot?

I think it might make for a good episode. Them needing to deal with super-stardom kind of mirrors the culture of today and how everybody wants to be "famous".

>>21608538
Oh there are definitely people who will do some research and make the Luna=NMM connection (especially since all that shit is in publicly available library books). But *especially* given how easy it is to find that out if you're looking, connecting the dots from there to "TS and friends stopped her" is a lot more shaky. Everyone would know within a few days that she's kind of a bookworm.

>>21608712

So, going back to the Applejack family bit for a moment. Pinkie Pie throws a party after they save the world, right? Every one of her parties has a reason behind it, so wouldn't you think that all the ponies at the party, along with Celestia and Luna being there would know what went down and word would get spread that way?

Celestia will turn out to be a villain. I mean Luna was scared shitless at the sight of her, her apology seemed forced plus she was totally bummed at the celebration.

>>21608765
IIRC the party was "for Luna" specifically. But I could be misremembering.

(also again this whole conversation is moot given ep7 but I like friendly discussion of minutiae so whatevs)

>>21608418
Did you forget the giant party that was held after everything? And when Princess Celestia publicly announced Twilight Sparkle's long-term stay in Ponyville?

>>21609021
Those were #s 7 and 8

Welp, I've got an evening to kill. Anyone feeling up for another MLP Livestream marathon tonight?

>>21609147
Sure, if Hasbro didn't fucking lock it. Also Include ALL of the My little Ponies Cartoons, From MLPnF to FUCKING G3 SHIT!

>>21609147
I've had an absolutely shitty week. I would LOVE to watch some colorful ponies prance around. :3

>>21608861
As the episode with Gilda showed, pony 'parties' can very well be a form of passive aggressive psychological warfare.

>>21609280
You know you could just shorten that with "trolling".

>>21609147

Alright, started up a livestream for the evening.


http://www.livestream.com/blazesponyhour

Should I start a new thread for more advertisement? I'm hesitant to start up another pony thread, seeing how we've still got a couple floating around.
