Okay… these are unexpected…

@Bruelock
Woah man, it's like the .MOV series in real life. …

Anyway, i kept forgetting to ask you guys a question but now's a good a time as any.

Okay so you all noticed that in the season finale how most of the changelings are men right? And we all know that about 80% of the pony population are women and 80% of changeling population are men. Do you think that there might be some kind of connection? Because when i though of this 3 days ago i was practically shitting bricks.

@seal:
…Wait, but since changelings can change into ponies, then Equestria isn't short of any colts anymore…

Sorry guys, life goal is gonna be unfulfilled, gonna go suicide now.

It's actually just Ponyville that has that weird male/female ratio.

I thought it was like that everywhere…

@seal

Maybe most of the colts/stallions in Ponyville were abducted by Chrystalis for manifestation of love energy in only male species. The possibilities stand as follows:

-Upon abduction of a single fully grown colt, manifestation will commence in a hybrid bio-magic transformation of the colt by draining the energy of 'love' from the victim. Victim will be cocooned similar to the formation of the previous invasion classified "Love Triangle". Researchers have confirmed the tissue sample from the green tissues from the cocoon have identical properties of species arachnids, only established will specialised modification of the combinations of polysaccarides and complex organic compounds of hard chitins from caterpillars during morphing state. This explains the green and transparent properties of the cocoon due to the presence of chlorophylls that helps the nourishment of nutrients for the victim inside.

-As the manifestation continues, the so-called "love" energy drains through time. The victim will experience frequent blackouts and fatigue until the source is completely juice out. The victim will enter state of slumber in the cocoon, morphing will take place by replacement the transcription of mRNA partially similar to the Queen. Changes of the DNA includes, formation of black chitins, fangs resembles, and other alterations of the body including holes and the hoof and crooked horns.

-Further studies suggested that evolution cycle will only adapt on Unicorn species upon abduction. This explains the changelings populace have identical crooked horns. A non-horned changeling has yet to be discovered. If the latter is at halt, the conclusion for standard pegasi and earth ponies abduction shall remain as state for eternal slumber in the cocoons and act as "prisoners".

Further studies is still pending approval by director of Sector RC-47.

Yeah, I think I read too much science conspiracies… :/

Since this is a Derpy page now I'll leave you guys with some pure cuteness.

…you really want a sneak preview? If you were serious BSoD, then I'll do it…
Anyone else want a preview of Lunar Dawn pt. 1 here?

Greetings and good morning, fellow men and women…

And preview of Lunar Dawn? Yes please.

(still a derpy page!)

ALRIGHT! HERE IT IS!:
WARNING: MAY-OR-MAY-NOT-BE-MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
--
It was already nightfall, and the nine had managed to wander around until they found a clearing. Far enough from Ponyville, so as to avoid detection by the Lunars, this spot would have to do.
Exhausted, being on the run for almost the entire day, the friends nearly dropped down dead from exhaustion. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy and flown nearly the entire time, and had to walk the last mile. Applejack and Applebloom immediately dropped what they were carrying and fell down.
The clearing was situated next to a forest, with a small spring for water. Ideally, it was located in a bed of tall rocks to the other side, shielding them from outside view. The clearing was rather large, so they were not cramped. It was by chance they found such an ideal location.
However, they all knew that they were still not exactly lucky. Without food, they would die out in days, and surrendering to Luna was not an option.
"What…", Pinkie yawned, "are we going to do now?"
"I don't know about you", Rainbow Dash said, "but I am exhausted, and I'm ready… just to…", she gives out a long yawn, "…get some… sleep."
"But… what if those soldiers come", Fluttershy asked nervously.
"Yeah, what if they try to find us", Rarity said.
"Alright, someone's gotta stand guard", Rainbow Dash noted.
Applejack knew very well that now was the time for rest. She herself was overly exhausted, and she saw the near-dead look in her friends' eyes. She looked at her sister. She hated to ask her and her friends, but she felt it was the only way.
"Sis, Scoots, Sweetie Belle", she addressed the three, "would you mind if you… stood guard tonight? I'm sorry, but someone has to."
The three looked annoyed at Applejack, but nodded in agreement. Applebloom took her bag again. "Where to, sis", she said.
"Just stand somewhere around here", Twilight answered. "You don't need to go far."
"Alright", Sweetie Belle answered. They trotted to near the end of the clearing, and laid down at their position.
"We're going to take shifts, right", Scootaloo asked.
"Sure", Applebloom said. "I'll take first shit. We'll change on the hour."
"How will we tell the time", Sweetie Belle asked.
"I guess we'll have to guess ourselves", Applebloom answered.
So the two other young mares rolled over and began to drift into dreams, as did the other six…

• * *
  There had been two shifts so far, and Scootaloo was expecting a good sleep after hers. She fell asleep quickly, despite the hard ground. She thought about all that had happened before she slept: earlier that day, it was normal life for her. Now, she had ran (or rather, flown) for her life. She remembered how much danger they would be in if the Lunars ever learned they were here…
  Of course, all of this was pushed out of her mind as she slept…
  Before she knew it, she was being nudged awake. Apparently, it was Applebloom's shift again, but Sweetie Belle was waking her up. The dawn hadn't come yet, but she felt it was nearing morning. Applebloom stood to the side, gesturing that they move.
  "Come on", Sweetie Belle said, "Pinkie's missing; we've got to find her."…

So, whaddya think?
If you can tell, this part was one of those originally made by me scenes. I had to spread out some of the events from the movie over the course of the escape (to make it a bit longer).
So, yeah… not exactly 100% true to the original, but it's going to be great…
The first part capped (and after the edits, will go over) 10,000 words… so prepare thy popcorn accordingly

'DAT CLIFF HANGER

Oh, also, the only spelling error I noticed was about halfway through when Applebloom said "I'll take first shit. We'll change on the hour."
Was a rather amusing error, but didn't notice any others.

JOE WANTS MOAR.!*@^*!@W&@!WTY

@Popperfett

I don't read fanfics, ever. So if you're hoping for a review, I wouldn't go to me.

@Bruelock

So you took my fanon and BAM, you made it creepy.

@Gigatoast

Oh, I'm sorry if I have disturbed you…

Allow me to fix that!

Hold on, how do you know for sure whether the changelings are male or female? They're weird insect-pony things; their appearance is not an obvious giveaway to their gender. Also, hive insects like ants and bees tend to be almost entirely female, so if they follow the same trend…

Oh, and hi everyone. This is apparently one of those threads you just can't stay away from for too long.

@Bruelock
HNNNNNG

DEAD.

It's pretty easy to tell really. I mean i looked at them and i thought to myself "Hey, these things look like the opposite of a mare, i mean look at them. What if there might be some sort of connection. Although i just assumed that most of the changelings are male because they looked like males. It doesn't really prove anything, hell they could even be females that look like males.

Hello!

@Zarathh

PINKIE!!! WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON!!!

A page get on page 125? My OCD is okay with this.

Let's have a page get for crossovers! What would you gents (and lady, if Twins comes in) say is the best example in MLP fan work of a well-executed cross over, either in artwork, fanfictions, or what have you?

That mine turtle is so freakin' adorable. Like. I might die.

Edit: Crossover page, you say? How about My Little Pokemon?

…..this is probably the only decent thing Family Guy has ever been used for. And it is glorious.

…

Do I even have to say it?

(That's from Fallout: Equestria, for those of you who have living under a rock for the past year or so.)

Of the biggest fanfics out there, it's pretty much the only one that receives little to no criticism. Past Sins is often criticised for having the most Mary Sure OC of all time and for having a slightly unprofessional writing style. My Little Dashie is criticised for not being as sad as people make it out to be, and personally, I just didn't enjoy reading it (protagonist seemed like a creep to me). But what flaws are there in Fallout Equestria? It's almost untouchable (hence its unique 'legendary' tag on EqD).

That's just fanfiction though. When it comes to artwork, I really like Portal crossovers for some reason.

I was thinking about doing another SynchTube in a little while. Anyone up for it?

I know I'm a bit late, but… Happy Mothers day, everyone!

This is really depressing for Derpy and her daughter..especially for Dr. Whooves. ):

We're talking about crossovers now? My favorites are obviously those from videogames. In terms of art, my favorites are the splinter cell crossovers (as rare as they are), as I'm a big stealth game "junkie".

Bear in mind I haven't actually read the "Ask Stalkerloo" tumblr, though I have seen some of the art and thought it was nice.

Here is a Metro 2033 one (also a favorite game of mine):

And here is the image for one of my current favorite fics:

I check every Eq D story update for this one. I walk away disappointed 85% of the time.

@synchtube

I'm not too sure. On one hand, there is ponies, then on the other hand, I just got Skyrim working on my PC again. So…. yeah.

@Stargazer
No worries! Pinkie was able to reverse engineer the creature to learn it's secrets.
At this moment I just reassembled the little creature as well. I will give it to Fluttershy as a gift. Yes!
Besides, that pony is scared of everything, it is very silly.

What about Spiderses, it has a legendary tag.

(I have heard some criticism for Fallout Equestria actually)

We're on pony crossovers now? Alright. I found these last night, they might not be the best artwork but they're still pretty awesome cause I love both the series.

Here's Star Scream from Transformers Prime.

Here's Megatron from Transformers Prime.

Ooooooh. Here's some Portal ponies.

EDIT: Breaking the 3 images per post to post this. Sorry Random Man. :s

So I got an answer from EqD, and they denied my story.

I've decided to try and get a girlfriend instead.

I have not been here in a while.
Anyone mind catching me up on what I missed ?

Apparently I was absent due to some things I
recently learned about my dad's side. It's kinda
surprising to me since I never knew about it. Some
say I might grow up to just like grandad…

@Engie
Images.
Images EVERYWHERE
Not really much other than that. Some discussion, but not a whole lot. Things seem to be more….regressed to non-verbal stages.

Watchu talking about washed up villain? We've had some TL;DRers just a couple pages ago.

I cast cognitive dissonance.

"…washed up villain"?

Them's fightin' words.

((It is true though, there have been at least a few decent topics over the week.))

Bronies, as you know as of yesterday, I posted a video of a great speech told by a great man of his time.

I just want to thank you all; thank you all for what you did and what you do here. Giving me and other users a home for love, tranquility, happiness, joy, and tolerance. We all have our faults, everypony alike always does. But we always end up making stronger bonds by actively trying to improve upon the mistakes that we have created. We are unique from any other group; we are more held together than most of the internet. All of us are good people that want to create a better life, live a better life, help better other people’s lives get better, even when we do not realize it.

As a brony who would love to be a machine, I honestly do not want to be ALL machine: Because I still have a heart, I still want to love, I still want people that care for me to still hear the warm heart beat in my chest. I just want to help progress so I can be better. I want to do robotics mainly to help people and mankind as a whole. Yes, some of you may think robots will take over. They will most likely not make us extinct, because they can’t do what we can do; love each other, care, and make newborn life. So I can see magic to be more preferable in the show than science.

But I want us to excel and evolve in more than one metallic way! I want us to go in multiple ways like branches on the tree of life that grows all over our humble Earth! Don’t let the trolls get to you; they only want to suppress you, destroy your happiness, and then turn it into hate and anger! None of them have anything better to do or were not loved enough in reality. So when you counter a troll, don’t respond to him with those typical flame responses. Just pity him, give him hugs and warmth to make him feel better about his life. All people have hard times; just some choose the wrong way to express it.

I chose my OC pony to be a Pegasus, not only because I can manipulate the weather, but because I can fly farther and further up the sky. I don’t want to stop there either. I want to keep going. I want to fly into space to witness the beauty of our universe and our existence; appreciate the possibilities that there could be another world like Earth that we can call Equestria! I do not only want this glorious experience for myself! I want you all to experience it with me, because alone, you can only do so much…but together! There is no limit! There are no finite possibilities!
WE CAN ACHIEVE MAKE OUR OWN EQUESTRIA IF WE WANT TOO!!
We can make this happen; we the people of not only this small community, not only the internet, but the entire world!
It’s not of a matter of how all this will happen!
IT’ A MATTER OF WHEN THIS ALL WILL HAPPEN!
We can accomplish anything as long we have each other! I love this community, I love all of you! And I love all of mankind.

(I just really wanted to get this off my chest, I felt like I should have said something more after posting that speech).

Pity, I must have missed them. I guess that's what you get when distracted by pretty pictures. But, anyone got a good topic? I want to at least participate in a decent discussion. Images are a little too….simple for me now.
@Ric
That's just beautiful. I literaly, honestly have nothing to say beyond that it was a tug at the heartstrings.

@Ric

I always approve of positive thinking.

I'm sorry Dan, but Queen Chrysalis has completely overshadowed Nightmare Moon. It's not even close anymore :(

Hmm… A good topic… How about this? If there was no MLP: FIM what would you be doing as of right now?

I possible would have never joined this site. Because the ponies made me curious of why would people love it so much I had to figure out in KYM, because just from the title, I had hopes of the website telling me, then realizing there was a forum made me want to join the community, and make new friends, nice friends at that.

I would most likely be playing video games still at this very moment, mindlessly and not as much of a person I was before. I think I improved as a person thanks to the brony community, plus helped me from slipping into the abyss of depression and hate.

Thing is Phoneix, I'm not a villian. I made a couple stupid choices and am willing to admit it. Now, the only villians on the show are Chrysalis (who is one, but for different reasons than you might expect) and Discord. Me? Not so much.

Ah, sad but true, at least when it comes to the attentions of the fans right now.

@Zarathh

Well, I have no idea what I would be doing right at this moment if I weren't a brony, but I can tell you what I would not be. Right now, I'm attempting to improve my ability to use vector, video, audio, and raster image software. It has also caused me to become interested in writing again. Being a brony has made me actually want to be more creative, which I am rather grateful for. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one either; it seems like the massive volume of fan creations has inspired thousands to don the hat of an artist in one form or another.

@Ric: If it wasn't for KYM I wouldn't be a brony today. I was browsing youtube late at night and I was just bored so I typed in "memes". The first video to come up was the KYM episode of MLP. I was like, "What the hell? My Little Pony? I've gotta see this." When I finished the episode, I found myself intrigued of why there was such a large fandom following the show. I then came across the web series "Death Battle", and I saw the Rainbow Dash vs Star Scream episode of it and that peeked my curiosity about the show even more.

I eventually convinced myself into watching it, and the first one I watched was "Return of Harmony". (I know I know, I didn't start from the beginning. I just typed in MLP FIM and that was the first episode to come up at the time) Anyways, after I was finished with the episode I thought to myself, "This show isn't half bad. But I do want to get the full storyline of it, and who all the characters are." So, I watched practically almost all of season 1 in an entire night, and several fanmade videos and my final conclusion was that this show is freaking amazing.

But back on subject here. If there was no MLP I would either be asleep by now, or playing my Xbox with my buddies. I would also probably not be here as of right now talking to my new founded friends.

TL;DR: This site is responsible for me becoming a brony. I love it and all of you guys. I also want to thank all of you for being so nice to me. I've never felt so at home on a site before.
