@404:

Thinking that's a reference to Chowder.

Man.

That show was awesome.

Heh, I still remember that gag from Chowder. Works really well with Pinkie.

yes, yes it was awesome.

Now for more references!

^That is fantastic.

I still haven't seen the Avengers. I really should…

That's Loki, in case you didn't know.

This was my face:

I just love watching how the fandom utterly confuses the rest of the world. The way they struggle to make sense of it by coming up with theories of "escapism", "childishness" or "attachments" especially amuses me. They try so hard to sound like they know what they are doing with such deep theories but in reality they almost always miss the point by magnitudes

Nobody ever seems to use Occams razor, which in this case is: People like a show and a community.

I guess it is no surprise, since its a politically based show but I loved the way they tried to explain the fandom with current politics: I.E: "Men are watching a kids cartoon because of terrorists, failing economy and poor goverment leadership" ….BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Keep it up gentlemen, were making this world a stranger place

[edit]

@404

As a Monty Python fan, that comic was the best thing I have read in a long time

More references? Fine then. It's not silly until The Holy Grail has been do-

Ah. Right then. Now it's gotten rather silly now.

I'l just leave this here…

I just went ten rounds with a living feel-throwing device.

The Things We Leave Behind

Shit was sad, happy, sweet, d'aw, awesome, badass, kickass, neat-o, and other adjectives. Awesome fanfic is awesome. Took me an hour to read, too, so it isn't too long.

If you don't have balls of steel, prepare yourselves to be murdered by the feels.

There's a teeny bit of shipping, but it only makes the ending even sadder.

Highlight for opinions.

It was certainly sad, but I didn't cry like I did all throughout Bittersweet. I didn't shed a tear.

I think that sad fics are made sadder by our attachment to innocent characters that we know and love so much. Shipping adds a level of attachment between the characters that isn't normally seen among "just friends," unfortunately. But it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It was pretty well-written, although I didn't like the unforgiving approach to Trixie. Hopefully, once I'm done with stuff, I'll be able to read more sad fics. Because I'm a sick freak like that.

Anyway, thanks for the link, Lasers. And for making reading this thread a less painful experience for me…See thread title.

Anyway, something to make you feel better.

Spoilers: It's animated.

It's 2:45 am and I'm asking myself this again.

Seeing as how I'm looking at this thread again, I already have my answer.

@OmniXVII
If your homework isn't looking at ponies, it's not worth doing.

Oh my god.
I stayed up to 11:10 pm reading this thread.
What the hell ponies.
Why you gotta be so cool.

>11:10pm
>Hardcore Bedtime

Don't worry, I know you're not serious.

@Verbose: Yeah, I cried more overall reading Bittersweet, but certain points of that fic made me cry harder than any other part of Bittersweet.

I mostly just liked it because it showed a lot of good character development and all. I know Bittersweet did, but if I posted it…

Yeah…

@Eightball: That's nothing. I stay up that late EVERY night. I've pulled an all-nighter playing Skyrim, and I've stayed up to about 3 am looking at ponies.

Strangely enough, I had a pony dream that night.

@Explosives

I read that too, much like any fic that gets put on Eq D's homepage with a "sad" tag. I didn't cry at all whilst reading it, but it was pretty well-written. Maybe it was because I was listening to some non-fitting music at the time or I've developed a resistance to this stuff. Maybe I should try reading it again. Overall, it was a nice mixture of sad and sweet.

I'm not too big of a fic-reader, as I've stated before, but I tend to be into sadfics a good bit because the conflict is either really tragic (someone dies, disaster strikes, etc.), really deep (growing up, growing apart, love, etc.) or in Things We Leave Behind and Bittersweet's case, both.

That being said, I still haven't read "My Little Dashie" and I'm not too sure if I want to. I tend to be very reluctant to read humans in Equestria fics and vice versa.

Has anyone else noticed that there appears to be a massive amount of sadfics written recently? I think it might be related to the end of the season. Not that I'm complaining, I love sadfics, but it's getting a bit too much to handle for me.

For those looking for something deep, I would recommend Eternal and And the Temptress Came Unto Her. They're both by the same author. Eternal is one of the best fics I've ever read, but take in mind that it's pretty long (don't read it all in one sitting like I tried to do). And the Temptress Came Unto Her is a little bit longer than Things We Leave Behind. It's basically a very in-depth look at Twilight's goals and ambitions.

I think I'm starting to become a fan of Device Heretic's. He was also writing a prequel to Eternal named "Wayward Knight" but he took it down for whatever reasons. Which is too bad, because it was also getting pretty good. It took place shortly before Luna became Nightmare Moon, so you got to see a really dark side of Luna.

He also wrote a comedy and shipfic that didn't make it onto Eq D. He should probably stick to the deep, dark, sad stuff.

Oh god, I'm turning into Algernon. Here is some CMC:

@Muffinator:

Read My Little Dashie.

Do it.

Now.

It was so goddamn sad that I had to think of Ol' Yeller to help stop the tears. It's not the most perfectly written story, but it has a lot of emotion and deepness to it, and there have been readings of it on Youtube.

Suffice it to say, manly tears were shed the world over.

It's times like these I hate my parents for getting rid of Netflix streaming.

mon visage quand

Congrats Connor! 2nd story on EqD!

Oh, so we're talking about fanfics now? The only sad story I've ever read was MLD. No regrets. Manly tears were shed for days after I read it. I mainly read Grimdark-Horror like The Slender Mane, I know a lot of people don't like grimdark stories because when they hear that word they immediately think of Cupcakes. But there are some pretty good Grimdark/Dark/Horror stories like Harmony, Fallout Equestria, Silent Ponyville, and a lot more. But I'll give these other sad fics a read if I have time. Also, Connor, congratulations for getting your fanfic on EQD!

EDIT: Page get for Luna!

Now this art really makes changing look much more Zerg like! (But in pony form).

Here's some gifs of examples of nice animation in the show:
Applejack elbowing Rarity
Rainbow Dash reluctantly tries out a hooficure
Rarity telekinetically removes leaves from Applejack's mane

What the hell did I just watch?

It is stuck in my head now. Why.

More of these please. Here's a hint of why I actually fell into the pony fandom:

I'm an animation buff. I first thought that Flash was the death of 2D animation. MLP and Wakfu have made me see the light.

or rainbow…as it were.

I mean, I don't recall many shows putting so much movement and subtle details into the character animations. Truly an exceptional effort by Studio B.

I'm back, and I brought a fleet. And no, Lunar Dawn is not finished. But this time, I'm here to rain destruction:

…but not on you guys or Equestria, no sirs (and madams), on whomever made THIS:

warning! View at your own discretion! Pyro, your jimmies may be rustled as well!

and that .gif in the comments…
I'm ready to burn a world again…
(sighs)
usually this stuff doesn't rustle my jimmies TOO much, but this is just ridiculous. Crossed a line with me…
I know we've been over this before, but I'm sorry, they can't leave ONE character alone? I mean really, this image gallery and searches have been pretty clean (though not all the way) about Chrysallis. But lately, all this implied R34, SMN, and other sexual BS is getting on my nerves.
/rant

…and the last pic on my last post was a reaction to Chrysallis, not me admiring it (though it is quite useful as a reaction pic)

oh and Joe, this will fit well in your RariSpike Stories (best sung by Spike):

The topic is now shipping:

Thanks for the congratulations.
Now I can start work on the sequel and all the other stories to want to write.

@Popperfett

You can't let R34 or shipping get to you. If you get annoyed every time you see a pic like that, you're gonna have a hard time surviving in this fandom. It's just what we do, along with every other fandom in existence. No matter how much you fight it, your favourite character(s) will be shipped. If anything, fighting against it only encourages it. Anyway, more often than not images like that are just made for the lulz, so it isn't worth getting your jimmies rustled over.

Hmm… you might be on to something there. I'll just check my checklist:

• Is a male humanoid being [CHECK]
• Is a brony [CHECK]
• Is studying physics at college/uni [CHECK]
• Knows a little too much about MLP fanfiction [CHECK]

Huh, looks like you're exactly like me in every way. Oh wait, forgot the last point:

• Is breathtakingly handsome [NOT CHECK]

Sorry brah, you just can't compete with this much swag.

(Spoiler: Just kidding)

So, guys, season 2 of MLP is now on netflix.

…and they kept censored Derpy.


I'm cool now, it's alright, not gonna start a s&%^storm…

Now, for that Chrysallis/Luna link from last post…
(fleet moves into bombardment position )

@Popper:

It's not even actual r34. It's implied.

I chuckle seeing legit r34 of AJ, and she's my favorite pony. Unless it's Tiarawhy.

Then I visit this site.

Edit: That site is also how I beat Dead Space 2.

Alone.

In the dark.

At night.

With surround sound.

THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUB-


Oh my…..

@Windigo

you know what…

F&%$ That S&$#, I'm outta here… again

I'll be back when I'm less pissed.

Oh, and Random, that site made me

GIFSoup

So, BYE
SEE YOU GUYS LATER
DON'T EXPECT ME FOR A WHILE… or until my fic's done…

@Windigo

@PopperFett

You get your jimmies rustled way too fast over such minimal stuff. It's basically asking for others to reply like that. Try to calm down and accept its excistance, there isn't much you can do about it.

Oh, hush, it only happened today. You can't use that unless I'm being legitimately slow, like weeks or months after the fact.

I've… I think I've cooled down now. There was some awesome art uploaded to our image gallery; enough to drown out the bad stuff. My abscence wasn't as long as I thought it was (obviously), so… I'll give it another shot.
It may seem selfish, but I want to go over some boundaries I have (and please abide with them)

-Sure, there's nothing I can really do about R34, but that doesn't mean it's void of criticism. However, I'll try to keep my opinions (unless it downright gets to me) as down-low as possible

Windigo, keep that kind of stuff away from me. As you noticed, I don't really appreciate it (especially after I ranted about how I didn't like that stuff). So lines were crossed there with me

Everything has the point to where it's too ridiculous for me. That post happened to be one of them. I have lines.

…I'm sorry, but most of my reaction came from the ridiculousness of some of the sexualized stuff and SM stuff that came in (the latter I really do have moral issues with). And after that article with the 6-year old girl finding R34 Pony stuff while searching pony vids, it starts to bug me.
So please, just don't post that stuff, and I won't get mad. I'm sorry if I come off as an asshole, but sometimes, there's just things that get you mad…

Somebody's on a neg spree again…

In totally unrelated news:

Neg Spree?
What are you talking about?
-I negged windigo for the comic
-I think TehBrawler (not sure though) negged you for the post
…don't worry, it's not massed negging or negbomb.
So put up the fruit salad… for now.

People get ups, then get immediately knocked back to zero.

Teh Brawler had that, and so did others. My post with Slowpoke in it was upped, went back to zero, was upped again, and went back down to zero.

A large amount of posts had one karma, but were then knocked back to zero.

So…

There's a Spy in our midst, men! Get the Pyro!

@PopperFett

I'm just pointing out that somebody is randomly downvoting us. It caused a shitstorm a while ago that wound up with Citation getting pissed and leaving.

I don't care about the karma, I care that there's a troll in our midst.

@Connor

One-Upped. Three is more than one
and I swear I didn't neg you.
Explosive is probably right: troll's here

Now, let us get back on track, and move forward.
Have some awesome art I found:


post more, and we can forget anything bad happened
