Check about 40 pages back for mine. Or ask BlueScreen. He’s the one who made it from my specs. @G00B: You’ve got me there. I can’t even think of a cutie mark for my OC. Tough task. Ok, black pony, purple mane and tail w/ white streak, and golden eyes. Would it be better as colt or filly (Shade or Artemis) ? I think this fits Berry the best. Old Irish drinking song. My friend introduced me to it. Got some more. Berry Colgate Okay now I’m just posting weird music for the sake of it. Also, 21st century schizoid man suits Discord really well. EDIT: Page get! Whoooop!


I present to you the entirety of the conversation for Page 137 as of about 6pm EST. Granted, that's probably the same length as five post on other threads here. Just throwin' it out there as a recapitulation.

Yes, I did shorten "throwing" to "throwin'" and extended "recap" to "recapitulation."


In other news, does anyone else kinda miss the drought during the summer? (Blasphemous, I know.) In a way, I miss not having an abundance of Pony stuff to consider. As much as I like the show, I also enjoy following the phenomenon and it's development.

Maybe that's the reason why I'm not a huge fan of FC's or fanfics. Art, the increase in the quality of it, and the subsequent increase in the volume of quality art indicates some growth in the community. More people are wanting to draw ponies and people continuing to draw ponies and getting better at drawing FiM ponies indicate an increase in number of bronies and the staying power of the phenomenon, respectively.

Fanfic numbers could potentially show the same thing, but quality is a little harder and more time consuming to assess with fanfiction. Music…well, I could simply say that I like a lot of adult contemporary music and believe a lot of it is quality work, and most everyone here would say that it's got crap quality. So Pony music isn't a gauge of that either.
 
I digress (as per the usual.) During the summer, small stuff like official sketches, announcements of the third season, the premiere date of the second season, the discussions about what Discord would be like…we don't have that right now.

We've got a lot of official pony to consider in the main source: episodes. So I think that it's not stuff we have to paw and scratch at now.

I don't know. It may just be a "grass is greener" thing too.


@Dr. Horse

VVV Interesting. Can't see Rarity fighting crime. Or being a sidekick though. (See The Mysterious Mare Do Well.)

Hello everyone.

Is the topic pony music now? I can't really think myself of an original song that each pony would hear, only the ones in those videos:

Applejack
Rainbow Dash
Fluttershy
Twilight Sparkle (kind of)
Rarity (the less fitting IMO)
Pinkie Pie
And the best of all, Derpy

@Dr. Gregory Horse the Prototype
I refuse to say what I got for fear someone will hold it accountable for me years later when I'm running for Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Let's just say I was too busy lol'ing to be disturbed by it. Then after lol'ing I got disturbed by it.
Dammit, universe.

Congratulations, my friend.

There is no higher honor.

Started a business with Cheeriliee?

Started a business?

Taint fair, I wanted to fight crime with derpy.

woah well atleast I didn't violate Mayor Mare or something lol.

@Birthday scenario

I married Princess Celestia

BOW BEFORE YOUR KING PONIES!


@What music Ponies would listen to

AJ = Country/Folk for certain. I bet she HATES dubstep.

Twi = She probably doesn't even listen to music and prefers reading in silence. For some reason I envision her to be completely clueless about her own music taste and has little interest in most genre's with a particular distaste for silly music. I bet she hates Pinkies music collection

Flutters = Progressive Trance techno. She listens to it while high. But she most likely dislikes very loud stuff

Pinkie = Most likely stuff like the Ting Tings; overexcited and childish party pop music. Or maybe even Richard Cheese and Weird Al Yankovich. She likely hates sad and emo'ish music so no Evanescence for her.

Rarity = Classical for certain. But she might even like stuff like Evanescence too. I just envision her really liking vocals and despising Fluttershy's music taste

Dash = Rock/Metal for certain. Specifically fast paced stuff like System of a Down and Metallica. But I envision her having pretty open music tastes, so long as it isn't slow

Discord = Nyan Cat. And only Nyan Cat. 24/7

BlueScreen, I only bow down to Luna. You should know that by now. As for the marrying Celestia part, the NLR does not take kindly to associates of the Solar Empire. Prepare to be proptly set ablaze.
As for Fluttershy and trance, this is probably it:

For Dash's, how about "Welcome to the Jungle", or "Jack the Ripper" by Motorhead? I think anything linked to thrash/speed metal would fit her. Or maybe grindcore.

I wanted to find links to VG music, since I don't have a great knowledge of music not heard on adult contemporary radio stations, but I'm reading for class, and finding proper music would take up too much time.

But Pinkie would listen to bubble gum JPop. Otherwise, I'd agree with most everything BSoD just said. Some people don't like music, which is beyond me, but if there is one like that it would either be Twilight or Fluttershy.
 
And think of what songs Fluttershy has sung herself. There was that Disney moment in Cutie Mark Chronicles and the Find a Pet song from Season 2. If you could place that into a genre (showtunes,) maybe that would describe Fluttershy's tastes best.

I was thinking of this when I thought about Fluttershy liking Trance

Not too loud, rather calm and atmospheric but also something she can get stoned to.

Note that my whole idea stems from my impression that Fluttershy is a stoner so if we cut that out we are left with Fluttershy's own musical talent of being a vocalist.

I thought about Opera, but that may be too loud for her. She may very well be like Twilight; not interested in any music apart from the stuff she writes and sings herself.

I cannot pin down what music genre her singing might be in.

*COUGH*Zecora*COUGH*

Anyways, as for this music discussion thing, I always saw Vinyl as one to like pretty much all forms of electronica (what a shocker). House, trance, dubstep. Probably not chiptune, though.
Wait, could they have chiptune in ponyverse? I mean, they're made from hacked 8-32 bit video game consoles, which I doubt they have.
Eh, whatever.
I also think she'd like punk and some classic rock.

Well, there is salt. And that one pony got pretty…happy after having too much of the salt.

And, despite popular belief, alcohol (salt) is a drug. So, yes. There are drugs in Equestria. But I will say that I don't think there's anything stronger than salt.


As for chiptune in the ponyverse, I don't really care how it's created as long as it has a chippy sound (one of the reasons I don't bother with the chiptune communities.) If there is electronica, then there could be chippy-sounding music. Problem is that there'd have to be a precedent for chip-like sounds. I assume that there are no video games or the like, so it may not have crossed anyone's mind to use blips as a form of instrumentation.

Salt seems to be equivalent to alcohol, which technically isn't a drug.
Fun fact: One of the show runners (I think it was Thessien?) confirmed in a post on /co/ there's no actual alcohol in Equestria.

S**t, this is going to turn into another drugs discussion, isn't it?

Huzzah! The drugs and stoners have been doubled! I think that ponies have drugs. Posion joke would probably make a powerful hallucinagenic. Same with half of the herbs in Zecora's hut. They may help, but mixed in a different way, they could make a pony trip.
Dammit, can't seem to stop listening to these two songs!
1
2
They make me tear up a little, but I can't stop! I dont get it. All the Sadfics and the other stuff I can handle, but these, THESE make me sad.
EDIT: Berry is back! I missed you! Did you get my wall post? Anyway, sorry. I'm going to have to refuse that offer. You know me, I'm a moon person.

CITATION. YOU HAVE CHALLENGED A PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONAL TO A DEBATE AS TO WHETHER ALCOHOL IS A DRUG.

From the above CDC link:

"Alcohol is one of the most widely used drug substances in the world."

(you may argue semantics, if you dare.)

Alcohol 'most harmful drug,' followed by crack and heroin
 
Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is a drug. Salt is the equivalent of alcohol. Transitive property or some sh!t…Might be communicative.

Out of booze? Not as nearly as important as me running out of thermite and napalm. But if you need more alcohol, I'll get you some more. What do you want? I got Vodka, Moonshine, Whiskey, Gin, Beer, Wine, and my personal fav, Rum. Good, old, spiced rum.
Need more? Here:

We have enough to last any normal pony about 5 years. I need to go shopping for some more on Tuesday.

Last a normal pony 5 years? Okay, if that's what you think, I challenge you. If I can go through your entire supply of spirits in under a week, you have to buy me more ingridents for my garage mixes. BUT, if you can use up all the thermite and napalm I have stocked up to burn Canada or France without being arrested, I'll buy you all the 40 ounces you want. Challange accepted? Also, the ingridients have to be high quality stuff. No more aluminium. I want wolfram.
Or, if you prefer, a drinking game of your choice. Same rewards.

Okay, Derpy's here, so that can only mean one thing: The thread is going into full Derp. I will take premptive action and post something that will tug at your heart and shake you to your soul:

They left her in the dark, so darkness she became…………they left me in the fire, so an inferno I became……….Luna, you and I share pain. We know each other's hardships and feelings better than anyone else. So, what I'm asking is this: will you accept my friendship? Sharing pain can with others like you can often heal. So let's share, so that we may heal……………………
