I could go into a rant about how humans aren't very appealing because of reasons, but I won't clog the thread with discussion about how humans are horrible vs how awesome we are.
Something about her appeals to me more than the others. She's just…attractive to me. Who wouldn't want to have her? She's beautiful, she's got a great personality, and she has her faults. I'm not sure why exactly I do, but I can see a few things that would make her attractive.

Are we talking about Luna or nightmare moon? Moon has no redeeming qualities really. I guess she is determined, but so was Stalin and hitler. Luna on the other hand I guess is ok even though she has insecurities and anger issues. Anyways, I have to be perfectly honest and say that none of the characters in the show seem attractive to me in personality nor in looks. I wouldn't want to have her. Also, I would rephrase " how humans aren't very appealing" to " How I don't find humans appealing" because humans are attractive. Anyways, thanks for the answer, it's really interesting to see how different people in the fandom are.

I won't just imply it, I'll say it. I don't fuck horses. I fuck bitches!

Seriously though, I'm just attracted to Women, no ponies for me. They just have nothing that I find attractive. I find brad Pitt more attractive then twilight.

Oh, yeah!
I wasn't trying to imply that you should stop asking, just that you'll likely never reach a point where you completely understand.
Psychology is weird that way: always interesting, never definitive.

By the way, not to call you out because this is apparently a massively widespread thing, but you just hit me with my latest little pet peeve.
Grammar Nazi mode activated:
Over the past few weeks, I've begun noticing the phrase 'try and X' being used all over the place.
It's 'try to' not 'try and'!
'And' implies two separate actions being performed.
eg: 'Try and understand' = You tried something and you understood something.
'Try to understand' says that you are making an attempt to perform a single action of understanding.
I don't know exactly why, but I've just been noticing this everywhere, even in more professional spheres (The submission guidelines for the Steam Workshop on TF2 is littered with them!) and I needed to get it off my chest.

Back to ponies!

If you don't mind me asking, why chrysalis and moon? You guys said you like powerful and determined women and femme fatales. Why them and not the various other characters in entertainment that are more fleshed out and well, human? I'm just curious.

I mentioned Baroness earlier because she's also quite the pretty one.
As for humans, well, Chrysalis looks as good (if not better) humanized:



As for why I like Chrysalis in general, there's something about her. She's quite…beautiful, to say the least. I guess it's my preference; she seems fine for me. I think she's gorgeous, but not everybody does.

Oh and Pyro & Nightmare, be sure to thank TARINUnit for this:

Oof, right in the inbox. You guys are so talky today.

I honestly don't think I have time to read everything you guys have already said about the Blueblood/Trixie/Chrysalis rant, but I think I got the general gist of it. I'm actually in the camp of people who doesn't really like Trixie, Blueblood, Gilda, or even Dash, all basically for the same reason. I'm just not a big fan of hubris.

As for Chrysalis, I like her as a villain, much the same as people who just "love to hate" Disney antagonists. Discord is just evil for the fun of it, whereas Chrysalis not only makes villainy look enjoyable, she actually has a reason for it, namely, the survival and propagation of her swarm. And Nightmare Moon may have been pretty "bad", but her motivation was actually a bit murky. It seemed as though she didn't want to destroy Equestria so much as remake it in her image; that's pretty tyrranical, but I'd venture to say it also makes her the least sane of the antagonist lot. If you think about it, she only became NMM because of emotional instability, and didn't seem to realize that her plan would essentially kill everything. Chrysalis is not insane, she's ambitious and cruel. When it comes to traits in enemies, I kind of like that. If the show's creators wanted to, they could even make her a recurring nuisance if they wanted. So in my reckoning, there are plenty of reasons the changeling Queen is popular, it's not all about gender and stuff.


Oh, and hi there Megalolzors. I heard you like Derpy.

’Verbose is the local TL;DR king and a mod, RandomMan gets all the bitches and is generally the best guy ever, Algy likes fan-fics, Muffinator and I are clones (according to Verbose), Ric is a pegasus with augmentation bullshit, Popper is a Mandalorian with the hots for Chrysalis, Pyro is Nightmare Moon’s waifu (and vice-versa), Twins is a girl that’s been strangely absent, Dac provides the shitstorms and controversy, and Princess Celestia is best pony. El Slinker, Windigo, Zarathh, and everybody else are awesome bros that come before hoes.

Now that that’s out of the way, make sure to be kind, contribute to discussions when you can and try to be nice and you’ll do fine. If you go to the Just For Fun forum, Captain Serious (AKA Thomas Nair) is kind of a dick, and hates bronies with a passion. Try to troll him as often as possible.'

Reposting my introduction deal for newbs.

@Random:

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to the idea of a male alicorn trying to retake the throne if it was done correctly. I doubt it'd be nearly as bad as many of the retarded OCs that have been created, as the writes for the show are better than the lowest tier of the brony fandom.

So, if done correctly with a reason for why he was gone (imprisoned, trapped, etc.), then I could see it kind of working out. A lot of bronies would be opposed to it, of course.

As for Chrysalis being male, I don't really like her right now, so being male wouldn't really influence my opinions.

@Algy:

Yeah, I didn't really mean it as in 'I'm gonna be a bitch!', though that might be a factor in it (I know people that do that, and it is damn annoying). But, still, Blueblood is far from the anti-Christ the fandom paints him as so often. He has one of those personalities that comes from the parents and takes some changing and getting used to.

As for colts, I meant the children, just like fillies means female child. Mare and stallion mean the adults, at least to me.

@Windigo:

He should be a cunning tactician with a mind far more clever than all others…

Voiced by Morgan Freeman.

Also, showing off is different than being an arrogant bitch. And if Trixie is just showing off, then so is Blueblood. Except Blueblood was raised to be that way.

Amazing how the thread is suddenly active. It forces me to quote this.

Of course, the male alicorn throne thing can work out. I'm not saying the character will be a huge faggot and that I'll hate him. The scenario I'm talking about is the overall brony threatment he gets. I know most of the users who post here approach things like this more calmly.

I don't want to sound bossy or anything, but since we are getting dangerously close to the 200 page mark, we should probably start talking about thread titles again.

Yaaawwn Hello everyone. What have I missed?…Hold on.
Oh crap. Welp, I ain't reading all that. Oh new member. Hi there Megalolzors. our love of Derpy makes me like you even more. But I still got my eye on you.

It is my duty. Oh, and I should probably state right away my complete devotion towards 'Tavi.

@DeadParrot

Really now, what is wrong with my brain nowadays…

@Zarathh
Read it. It really doesn't convey sadness with me. BTW, you forgot to add this.

EDIT: By the way. Every month or so of not getting adequate sleep, I just sleep almost an entire day. Weird…

@Dan:

Unsubscribe to the damn Pony thread, you fool! It's Step 1 of what to do when subscribed to the Pony thread!

@Deadparrot:

Must…. reach…… insulin….

@Random:

Yeah, I know that our group here is usually more reasonable and reacts less violently. I do think most bronies would flip their shit if this was announced, and probably go with their convictions to the grave episode, no matter what you say. Some might still hold them after the episode airs, too, but that's less likely. Again, it comes down to how its shown.

@Megalolzors:

I agree with RandomMan, you need to put more content in your posts and post a bit less frequently. Most people spam when they're newfags, but you should still tone it down and try to contribute to discussions first and go off-topic/post pics next.

@Muffins:

I stand by my original nomination for Pony General, Episode VI: Return of the Poni.

Preferably spelled Poni.

@Zar:

Okay, I'm confused. What the fuck is going on, where's Tank, why does it go by so quickly, and why is Rainbow Dash reacting that way? Seriously, I have no idea what the fuck any of that is.


Oh right, Summer Solstice is today…I get out today.
Alright, less intimidating..no armor, nice makeup, well-brushed mane…look beautiful, not scary…I'm all ready to return…see you soon, sister, I'm coming home…

I would snatch her away from that fool, gladly hug rainbow dash, then i would go back to scout every year and remind him the big mistake he made and I would laugh. I would then share the gift of Rainbow Dash every Christmas with my brony brethren (Keeping Her from sunday- friday, then let one brony bring her home on Saturday).O.k. I'm not that cruel :(.

Why the christmas theme post this time of year though? Its the midddle of summer, and apparently as someone above said, apparently the summer solstice. Either way, funny pic :P.

Alright I understand now, discuss in discussions, and post pics after :D

@DeadParrot, Megalolzors

Hmm, the best pony does seem to get struck by an inordinate number of lightening strikes. I wonder why this is. SCIENCE WOONA, EXPLAIN!

"Lightening normally strikes because the negatively charged particles in the clouds are attracted to the positively charged particles on the earth. However, negative particles are also strongly attracted to awesomely charged particles, the particle which makes up approximately 120% of Rainbow Dash's body. When you consider this and combine it with the fact that she flies so high, higher than any other pony, the real anomally is how she doesn't get struck by lightening MORE often. Meterologists theorize that Dash is simply too fast and agile for the lightening most of the time, though occasionally she'll get grazed."

@Lyra pic

I dislike that pic for the same reason I don't find myself particularly anamored with real life ponies, because those ponies are just animals. As much as I am creeped out when ponies get physically anthropomorphized, you can't go far enough with that shit when it comes to their personalities. The fact that the ponies are so charmingly human is what makes them relatable, and seeing one eating a sugarcube out of the hand while getting her ear scratched comes across as reducing them to a creature that is merely appettitive.

Of course, there is an alternative way to interpret the picture. This is Lyra, the human fetishist, so it's not hard to imagine that this is a completely self-aware creature pretending to be a mere animal because she kind of gets off on humans treating her as such. Not sure how I feel about that interpretation.

@Male alicorn taking the throne

That would be interesting, could actually be a way for the show to try to address the real issue of equality between the sexes. I don't even think it would mess with MLP's tone too much, I'm sure they could do it with the same light-hearted gentleness that they did with the Appleloosa settlers and buffalo. It would be interesting and a pretty ballsy move.

Looks like Ponyville's resident zebra's getting a little more time in the spotlight!

@Fifths
Ha!
By your own theory, you have proven that Scoots is awesome, too!

Though, if that's the price of being cool, I'm happy the way I am…

As for the Lyra pic, I actually like it for the very reasons you seem to not like it. =)
I like when the show puts in those little reminders that, yes, these are ponies (mostly the characters whinnying, neighing or grunting in a very 'horsey' manner).
It adds an extra layer to their characters that is kinda cute and funny.
Plus cute:

@DeadParrot

That little orange vagabond is lucky enough to actually get to hang around Dash, so I guess some of her charge might momentarily rub off on her, momentarily. Lightening is a small price to pay for getting to hang out with Rainbow Dash.

Concerning the picture, normally I'm like to agree with you. I usually love the snorts and whinnies, but those are just little idiosyncrasies that add charm to the characters without really meaning anything.

To eat out of another's hand while they scratch your ears is a blatent act of submission by not just an animal, but a broken animal to its master.

@Pez dispenser

I'm more upset by the fact that this doesn't phase me. At all. I feel that my time as a brony has made it so that there is literally nothing you can do with a pony that will disturb or even suprise me anymore.

MLP has left a good influence on the jaded inhabitants of the internet who got into it I think, but influence goes both ways. Poor Lauren Faust's pure little idea has been massively corrupted, and the corruption is glorious.

One could argue one way or the other who's better, but it'd probably end up badly. By telling me "go fuck yourself" you showed sign of rage. I'm not taking it that far. I was just messing around with the "I win".
Chrysalis is who I like; you don't have to think the same way. Let's be civilized here now…

@Names
"Pony Face" or "Return of the Pony". I'd also suggest "This Thread's Going to be perfect…" or "Sgt. Twilight And the Lonely Pony's Club Band"

I believe your checkmate is completely flawed and holds no ground, kindly go fuck yourself.

@Fifths and the Lyra plushie:

Yeah, the brony community has done a lot of good, enough to more than make up for the weird shit it makes. We shouldn't really complain about what other people want to do, because it doesn't effect us. If somebody wants that Lyra plushie for ahem reasons, then go ahead and let them. We all have our problems (except for RandomMan), so we shouldn't cast stones.
