That's why you aren't supposed to. Trust me, I almost got banhammered for it. (Well it was actually the R34, but they built on each other.

Has anyone else thought that today has been a derpy day, it has for me. Goodnight.

Okay, obligatory Spitfire for page GET.

Need to make this my itouch background. Remind me.

Watch as I decimate Verbose with the combined wordcount of Shakespeare's collected works!

VERBOSE!

@burning_phoneix

Alas, magnificent combination of words. Shakespeare himself would be proud.

@phoneix

Brilliant rebuttal. Once again you impress us all with your ability to fill and entire post will well constructed argument.

FYI: If all you can see is simple dots that's because you are missing a plugin required to view Phoneix's massive Tl;DR rant.

I must reclaim my positive feedback somehow! I know, I'll read Connor's fanfic!

Seems like a great start to a much larger tale. I don't know if you're going to continue this, but you totally should. I normally don't read fanfics on anything, but that was a particularly well done one. It sort of reminds me of the (also amazingly done) conspiracy on how Ash was actually in a coma the entire series, which made the entire show . This one didn't blow my mind as much, but it's completely plausible, and a lot better than the other pony fanfics I've read (read: 3 others). A great first attempt, and actually a great attempt. And by attempt I mean it's a bit short. If you added on to it, it would be so much better. I mean, with such a huge conspiracy here, you have got to write at least 10, 20, maybe 30 pages on it for it to be fully fleshed out.

Now where's my +1s (gets lynched)?

That, or you're lacking the Debate Club brain chip.

Oh, I see that I may have to whip out a dictionary for burning_phoneix.

Maybe even a thesaurus. But I think a children's ABCs book will be plenty.

Just in case you're wondering why we cant autoplay. This is the thread
This is what I had on autoplay and loop

There was like 5 of them because of people quoting. After that I told Dane how to do it and I think he told Russain Fadora how and it got banned after that.

@Twins

You may have my kramas since you asked so nicely. I was going to give them to you anyways.

How did Dinky get wings to go along with the horn? HAAAAAX, though it's cute HAX.

DAMN SON, THE GLOVES ARE OFF! NOT EVEN NASA'S SUPERCOMPUTERS CAN HOLD MY REBUTTAL, IT'S THE END OF KYM!

ur a fagot

Littlepip, after years of playing Fallout, I can safely say…
"I know that feel, sis."

@Verbose & Burning Phoneix

I see, I see. Then I'll have to sacrifice a bit of tact to get my point across while maintaining my eloquence. It should only serve to embarrass you further than you have already done to yourself.

@Verbose & Phoneix

So many walls of text! So many rebuttals and debates left and right! I can't even handle this thread right now. The solid and extensive arguments are too much to bear.

The epic word war between our two most proliferated long posters is simply Too Long; Didn't read! Citation is getting mad! Ric Tesla is leaving! Daniel is trying to Spiderman derail, Hasbro is blocking video's and everyone else is abandoning thread! OH THE HUMANITY!

Whats-your-face! Y U NO DO THIS TUMBLR ANYMORE?! Maybe someone should pick up this guy's adorable mantle.

Hmmm…

I can sense your despair at the upcoming humiliation, Verbose. It is inevitable and you must accept it as you accept the sun rising in the east and summer monsoon rains.

@Cite

That was the only part of my paragraph that was not sarcastic. The rest was. The code looked like this:

[sarcasm] …Didn’t read! [/sarcasm] Citation is getting mad! [sarcasm] Ric Tesla is leaving!… [/sarcasm]

I'll do it.

Love and tolerance, plus the opportunity to give my favorite pony a sponge bath?

Guys, I was looking at that friend of mine and I was wondering, is he a brony now or does he just like John's art?

We now have a Verbose to add to the family portrait.

The next OC to add is StarGazer who will be providing his own, once he has a cutie mark for it. So for you StarGazer, I made this as you requested:

All you need to do really is post your OC on this thread, I can get it straight from your post. Then I will stamp the cutie mark on it for you. Or if you really want to do it yourself, send me an e-mail address where I can send your cutie mark.

Ball is in your court dude.

[edit]

@Rinsan

Linking to lovetomorrowlove is definitely NOT the way to convince people that you are not a Brony but I still say that nobody is a Brony unless they say so themselves. I believe people have the choice over their own labels. He might be a closet Brony…or maybe he really does just like the art, hold the New-Herd-Member party until he confirms it himself.

[edit again]

Aaaaargh! My internet is so freaking slow! Everything I do sucks 5 minutes out of my time. ITS EXCRUCIATING! [headdesk] [headdesk] [headdesk] [headdesk] [headdesk] [headdesk]

Just wondering. It's just that I can't figure out what he has been doing ever since he started being haunted by whatever's messing with him.

I'm still not too clear on who your friend is and what is happening to him. I did see the two threads you made about him but those threads don't seem to go into a great amount of detail on the current situation. First of all, whats messing with him?

I'm not sure, but he made a channel about it.

Someone likes my work!
Let's hope EqD is as nice as you. Otherwise I'll have to go to FiMFiction. *shudder*

Were they any parts where you could 'see' or 'hear' what was happening?

I'm going to try to add as many chapters as it takes to completely tell the story.

Karma for you for reading it and being nice.

(Bucking textiles, how do they work?)

@Verbose & burning_phoneix

Gentlemen, I am disappoint.

I thought the two of you would be able to at least stay nice too each other and have a decent showdown. One where a person could drink a cup of tea without spilling anything.

But no, you two just couldn't do it. All those insults, that racism. Children were crying on the sidelines for god sake. You two even started to insult each other's mother. And then there's that mega insult, I don't even dare to repeat it. You two know what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry you guys, but this type of behavior is unacceptable.

What did I miss?

well fuck. Looks like I missed a lot. So, whats up everybody?

Edit: and everyone said I was the angry one…

Ponies.

Hell hath no fury like a disappoint Randomman. Allow me to turn things around.

Trixie!

Ponies…..

With Leo Arch aside, I was wondering why no one is talking about the upcoming episode this week? We've either fought each other pointlessly or talked about the episodes airing after this one.

well, it doesn't seem like it will be that great. Im not a fan of the CMC anyways. The only good thing is that we might get to see more applejack and big mac.

Just wondering, am I the only one who thinks their parents are dead?

They could be. Their death could just be covered up by the happiness of Equestria.

hello everyone i have not posted in this thread in a long time and i guess i should

@dac-attack!!!!
Have a quote from Faust (found here)
"To put it bluntly, we just never figured it out. I just liked the feeling of them living with their Granny, but keeping the family dynamic tight and small. To be honest, I would like to simply say that they passed away somehow, but it's just too sad for a kids' show and I don't think it would have ever been approved. There was brief discussion of them being traveling salesponies or explorers, but since we never needed the information in an episode, nothing was ever made official. So it will have to remain a mystery until someone decides to define it."

Who knows, maybe in the last roundup episode we might find out what happened to them.

Maybe it's related to Everfree Forest. 0.0

Hey Arnold anyone? I would rather have it that they passed away. It just makes more sense to me.
What would be better, parents that have never been there for their kids, or parents that just simply passed away? but thats just me.

Hmm. Both seem kind of sad for mlp.

I guess, but its not unheard of in cartoons. Angelicas Mom ( Charlotte) was pretty dismissive of her daughter, Arnold's Parents died, one of Arnold's neighbors, Mr. Hyun, got separated from his daughter during the war, and don't get me started on kids movies. Its just something that kids have to learn about sooner or later.

But it doesn't fit the mood of Equestria. The place is too happy and cheerful for such sorrow. Hmmmmmm.

Equestria has sex( considering lauren said they reproduce like regular mammals), I don't think death should be considered out of the question.

This changes everything makes my music seem more fitting.

I would understand if this show was playhouse mickey or something on nick jr , but its not. I don't think that they couldn't fit something like death in there. One of sesame streets episodes ( the one where Mr. hooper dies) was considerd a great achievement. As long as they were to do it tastefully, they could pull it off. I honestly think it would make the most sense If they passed away during applejacks childhood.

That's part of why I like this show: it doesn't feel educational. MLP:FiM is sharp and clever, and doesn't oversimplify the lessons its trying to teach you. It's probably because its not targeted at toddlers or anything like that, but it's still nice.

In any case, I don't see why they couldn't have an episode dealing with loss. They have basically already set it up for that (with Applejack living with her granny), whether they intended to or not.

Putting death in a kids show…when I was about 4 I already knew about murders and other stuff. But I don't think they might put in in mlp. Just like with Rarity's parents just being out of town. They might put in some background to Applejack's parents in her new episode. But then again anything could happen.

I agree with this.

BUT I disagree that there could be an episode dealing with loss. I feel like dealing with a subject like that would be extremely controversial amongst the younger viewers (well, their parents), so I don't think that it would be wise for such a new show to go in that direction, and I'm pretty sure the writers would agree with me.

In the Sesame Street case, the show had been very well-established before dealing with stuff like that, and I just don't think MLP:FiM is at that point. Sesame Street is also, let's face it, far more educational than FiM, and it's been running for so long that they naturally have to teach about things besides love and tolerance. They've touched on many other non-childish topics in their 40 years also. FiM has only been on for, what, 18 months or so, so if it were to delve into such topics I think it would face lots of criticism.

When a kids' show decides to deal with something like loss, the episode must be exceptionally well-crafted so as to make the emotions clear to children, but not to make the emotions devastating for the children to witness. The Sesame Street episode was controversial at the time, but it has since been lauded for doing an extremely good job of dealing with the issues related to loss.

I agree with Engie in that there may be an episode revealing more about Applejack's family history. But whatever the history may be, it's clear that she's lived with Granny for a very long time. In that context, I prefer to think of her parents working and living somewhere else that's not amenable to raising fillies – I guess like Rarity's parents.
