Hey everyone.
After the… ahem, debacle earlier in the week, I just…
I guess I needed a break.
From the thread and the brony community, really.
I guess I was just… fed up? I dunno.
But… I knew I needed to take a break.
So… I did.
And then I made a thread that gives some reasons as to why I'm so constantly pissed off.

And Connor, what was really pissing me off is that you were ignoring the problem as if nothing had happened, when something obviously did. Why did you want to get me labeled as such an ass, and why were you acting like you didn't do it 5 minutes after admitting you did?! Do you not see the holes in your logic?

sigh
Whatever.
I saw the new episode, by the way. It was good, I liked it, but for some reason I think it's going to be one of those episodes the community hates.
Pumpkin's overpowereed magic was explained as a magical surge that evidently comes and goes for unicorn foals. I swear there's a trope for that….
And yeah, someone answered as to why Pumpkin and Pound were a unicorn and pegasus.
And they obviously changed the foal model from Mare Do Well, if even slightly, because I was no longer disturbed by them and thought they were cute.
Also, why in the Hell were they asleep in the same crib? There's two of them!

There was a crib in the background but I think Pinkie Pie but I think it will make them scared if they are alone in separate cribs like that.
But I am sorry for spewing my rage all over your thread Citation…. :c
I feel what you feel man and I am here for you, brony.

Edit: New page get.

Time to cheer somepony up. Are any gifs or pics of Pound and Pumpkin up yet? On a different note, I've seem to hit a snag in my music making.

The usual answer to musician's block is to listen to new music :P

HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN DERPY!?!

At least they referenced the fun has been doubled.

What I'm wondering is if these two episodes were made before they decided to put a Derpy in every episode. The first two episodes don't have her (she's actually in the first one as incidental_cloudsdale_pegasus#3 without being derpy) so they decided somewhere later in production to add her in every episode.

Sorry, Derpy. Apology muffins are in the mail. Unless SOMEONE/I'm lookin at you, Pinkie/ ate them, then in that case, the only thing we can send you are these cupcakes. Where did I get these again?………

Pinkie would eat the cupcakes too. Derpy's been in a couple of episodes this season. May the Best Pet Win, Hearth's Warming Eve, Sweet and Elite, Luna Eclipsed……but seeing as how most of the recent episode took place in SugarCube Corners I doubt they could've been able to sneak her in.

first, let me start off by saying that was a great episode and it was good to get another pinkie pie episode. Now that thats out of the way, am I the only one who noticed that poundcake sounded a whole lot like predator!

Also, I liked how Mr cake seemed unsure about the kids not being earth ponies.

I think something that managed to make the new foals less scary than the first foal seen was their enlarged eyes. The first foal had tiny eyes, the twins have larger eyes.

That fast? IMPOSSIBRU!
God, some people work faster than Pinkie geos through cake.
And Bob, the eyes did it for me as well. The other ones look like they're gonna kill you.

SO. MUCH. PINKIE.

Loved the new episode. When Mr Cake said "that makes sense right?" about his answer to why one of the babies is a unicorn and the another is a pegasus it made me think of how Scruffy said "yep, that'll hold up to scrutiny" at the end of one of the newer episodes of futurama like they knew people were going to over-analyze it and make jokes about it lol.

But yeah, Pinkie was great. I think I have a new favorite episode.

She didn't sing Smile in this one though, but maybe…

maybe that means…

ANOTHER Pinkie episode in the future?

AWWWW YEA-

Oh right, when I first saw the new foals, my thoughts were "A pegasus and a unicorn?!?!
Mr.Cake is gonna have to stab a b***h"

Edit: And here's something for everyone

That was awesome!
I love pinkie episodes and pound cake and carrot cake made it awesome too! I wonder if they'll show up again in later episodes? I think the whole earth ponies giving birth to a pegasus and a unicorn thing has rendered all the analysis of pony genetics we've done on this thread invalid.

AMAZING!
It was just amazing i think this maybe my new favorite episode.
I liked it that in the beginning they had a sorta realistic way of how they acted they acted like human babys.
I find it funny that Pound knew how to fly and scootaloo can't and also that Pumpkin knew how to use magic when twilight had to read books to know.
THEIR HEADS THEIR HUUUGE!


@below
i'll take a look at it

Not to derail discussion, but I have a start on my second chapter if any of you wanted to read it. I know you gonna rage.


@Episode Discussion

lolimplications, I can't believe they were allowed to put Mr. Cake saying that in. There were many a lul had at my end of the internet.

I'll admit that the foals are better, but I still dislike their one colored eyes. At least they weren't black as cold death like the other foal's.

Continue your discussion, I'll be lurking TF2ing.

It's almost as if Studio B is trying to tell us something. "Have fun analyzing this. Because you won't be able to make sense out of it."

Me? It's not my problem. I don't analyze the show the same way you guys do.

Mr. Cake kind of looks like woody harrelson to me, so I thought of the movie indecent proposal. Fancy Pants offers 1million dollars for a night with Cupcake, they have sex even though that wasn't part of the deal, and then this… Start at 0:55

lol yeah, I know there will be plenty of jokes about Mr. Cake not being the real dad and stuff.

To the fandom:

I could try to prevent everypony from making those jokes but seeing as I don't mind it anymore…..

Just go ahead and do what you do. Overanalyzing, grimdarks, Rule 34, whatever…..doesn't matter. I love you all.

Pssssh. Good luck. It will never work.

Not annoyed or angry. Still content. Nice try though.

Wow… You've really matured. Alright Connor, feel free to spam as much Molestia as you want.

I actually meant it as a joke and added to it because I didn't want to cause Aerostat any distress. But he seems to be fine with it all now, that's good.

@Below (What do you prefer I call you?): You say Necronomicon, I say diary.

Well, Ideologial. I was just posting Trollestia because Bob said so. I had no intention of making anyone annoyed. If I wanted to do that, I'd just spam and quad-post.


Huh. You might not want to do everything Bob tells you do. He might get his hands on the Necronomricon someday….

@iambob: I learned not to be bothered by the things in the fandom. It would ruin my participation in the fandom.

I predict that people will fall in love with Pound and Pumpkin. I mean look at them. They radiate adorableness and they're babies. What's not to love?

everything i hate them lol u mad?

But seriously, there is so much to like about this episode.

  • I did actually find Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake to be really awesome characters. I think they were less creepy (if at all) because of the eye color (I think the previous one had black eyes and these had brown and blue?) and the fact that they were actual babies. They weren't just two characters doing random baby things. They had their own personalities.
    • Pumpkin Cake would put all kinds of things in her mouth and liked having fun things about her.
    • Pound Cake was more aggressive in situations and was a bit harder to control.

I hope to see more of those two. Not too much, but cameos and stuff would be nice.

  • Mr. Cake at the beginning of the episode: "That makes sense, right?" (shifty eyes)
    • Can't tell if in denial/paranoid about Mrs. Cake "getting around…"
    • Or if tapping on the fourth wall/Charlotte Fullerton channeling Mr. Cake to answer Brony questions about Pony Genetics and was afraid that it wasn't sufficient enough.

In either case, I lolled heartily.

  • The >implications of how the cakes went about finding a babysitter.
  • One, There is apparently some order in responsibility of taking care of small things like foals.
    • Fluttershy (makes sense.)
    • Twilight and then AJ (I'd think AJ would be a little more mature than Twilight and just as diligent, but Twilight may have some knowledge unknown to the audience that would make her a better choice.)
    • Rainbow Dash and then Rarity (neither seem to be fit to babysit.) I'd think that RD is the most unfit to watch a baby, and Rarity could…but she wouldn't want to. Also, it was hilarious how she handled that. She didn't have any explicit obligations like the others…she just said no.
    • And then there was Pinkie Pie.

Of course, it may have just been how the Cakes' wandered through Ponyville and they asked people who were closest to them, but Fluttershy lives outside of Ponyville. Obviously, they went that far, because she was the best choice. AJ and Twilight would seem to make better babysitters than the other three, Rainbow Dash isn't going to be tied down, and Rarity doesn't want to deal with kids. It speaks to the character of the characters, no?

  • The Pinkie stand up routine!
    • Now it has been played with in the episodes that Pinkie is at least a toon-like character within this universe if not a blatant fourth wall breaker (e.g., Walking to the right of the screen and appearing from the left in Party of One and Hearth's Warming Eve, appearing in multiple places at once during Call of the Cutie while singing,) but Pinkie actually responds to herself from two different places when the routine falls flat.

I…I don't…

  • Also…I'm pretty sure that even during the "bursts of magic" baby unicorns are supposed to have that they wouldn't be as easily controlled or specific as the abilities Pumpkin Cake showed. She can levitate, levitate herself and fly, and walk through solid objects. At will. There was no shock like the one Twilight had in Cutie Mark Chronicles.
  • And then Pound Cake can fly. Scootaloo can't fly at all. This baby can lift an adult mare.
    • Great powers, great control of powers, and unicorn/pegasus children from two Earth Ponies.
    • alicorns.jpg I think lesbian shipping, homosexual procreation, and Molestia have all been confirmed in one fell swoop. JUST KIDDING.
  • And…I nearly cried.

    I can't think of a moment in the series where a character bawls like that for an extended time. Fluttershy ran off crying in Griffon the Brush Off, Twilight shed a tear in The Return of Harmony, Part 2 along with RD in May the Best Pet Win. And Pinkie cried at the end of Part 2 of the pilot (but out of joy and immediately stopped.)
     
    Pinkie was the first one I can think of to bawl on screen like that. I felt terrible. And then the running gag with the flour…and the infants…and thenasfk;H sinjklx;Nkm m,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'm sorry about that guys.

Pinkie Pie is Best Pony. I'm so sorry Twilight.

I'm more of a Bombinonicon person, anyway. Soooooo………New topic! Pony music: Any kind, be it remix or original. Post favs!

You know, with that question, I could figure out at least a dozen different high quality songs to present. Not only does the brony community have incredible artists and writers, but we also have a lot of talented musicians. This creativity is the very reason I'm drawn into this fandom, especially as an "artist".

If you want to find great music, just look up anything by Makkon.

But since you wanted people to post their favourites, I can post some good songs. I think three is enough, since this thread takes long to load as it is.




So far the best song I've heard from the fandom.

What I'm listening to now (even though I dislike rap immensely).

A personal favourite as a fan of "videogame" music.

a topic about pony music cool!
i have not listen to alot so i don't have a favorite.

My thoughts on the episode:

  • The babies weren't as hideous as I thought they would be based on the one in Mare Do-Well, even if they were the spawn of Satan
  • Apparently Unicorns can quantum tunnel
  • Pinkie Pie is now a pig
  • Unicorns and pegasi appear to be genetic mutations of earth ponies.
  • Verbose said pretty much everything else I wanted to say, as usual
  • Overall I think it was one of the best episodes

I'm going to take some of Pinkie's personality and mechanics of genetics from this and leave overly powerful foals as a situational example of how Pinkie was unprepared.

@Muumi
I like the Nightmare Night song too. I listen to the instrumental version though, you might want to try that.

Finished the new episode!
Ok, so, first, how do pony genetics work? Two earth ponies can have a unicorn and a pegasus?
Second, Scootaloo can't fly, but a month old foal can not only fly but CARRY PINKIE PIE?
Third, unicorns can use telekinesis to fly, so canonically, they are better than any other type of pony. Seriously, why is that?
Forth, you can use magic to walk through walls? Why haven't we seen that around yet?
Don't get me wrong, this episode was DAAWWWWtastic, and I really loved it. But man alive did it bring up so many questions about the pony world.

Unicorns can walk through walls with magic?

Pinkie Pie can walk through 4th walls without magic.

Therefore: Pinkie Pie > Unicorns.
