I've been looking at that picture for so long and seen it so many times that I lost track but I never realized this until now:

DERPY HAS A WING BONER

@Dac
I think we have all been in that boat, there are spots in the river which are so violent you would think the boat would break. Be it caused by the death of a loved one or a tragic moment in our lives.

But in the end we are all in this together, no matter where and you are or who you are. In the end you have to make the choice of picking yourself up and move on, we can help pick you up but we cannot make you walk.

News regarding the season finale

Looks like they're pulling out all the stops on this one.

I'm pretty sure a marketing campaign of this scale is unprecedented in cartoon history. Who'd a thunk it? Of all the cartoons out there, My Little Pony does things no other show could even dream of, all on a limited budget.

Hah, if I ever see some wanker say that this show will fade into obscurity and never be remembered as anything more than a footnote again, I'm going to point and laugh at them until my lungs collapse. No, seriously. I'm going to guffaw 'till I withdraw, cackle 'till I tackle, snicker 'till I bicker, uh, snargle 'till I blargle. Or somesuch, I dunno.

Point is, I've got a feeling this here event will not go unnoticed. By the end of it, I suspect there'll be some immense interest in the show. Let's face it, this whole thing is still a pretty underground club. Most people don't know and don't much care. However, people will take notice if there is enough of a buzz surrounding something, and it most definitely looks like they're stirring up one hell of a storm for this one.

So, my friends, prepare for escalation. They're taking this to the next level.

X, Dac………
I know I can't say anything that will take away the pain. I can't say anything that will bring them back. I can't do anything. I just can't say anything that will do a bit of help. I just can't……I feel so useless…..I can't even share sad expeirences because I felt nothing when they happened. I just felt…..nothing. I know that's not what you're feeling now, but I just had nothing better. I'm sorry that I'm useless….so sorry….so sorry………….that I can't help…..worthless……

I have a question for everypony.
what will and should happen in season three. It's thinking ahead but I think it will create some interesting answers and I want to hear some opinions other than my own.

They should have a crossover episode with the Aquabats super show. I'm not sure how they would do it, but that must happen.

@everyone else. Well, now I'm sad. Darn.

After I read Brownmane the Knight's post. I honestly have no idea, but they are ramping up for something. Especial after how they are presenting the season finale they are pulling off all the stops. The sky is the limit at this point.

OH! Btw. For all you GMod users out there. Here's something to have fun with.

Enjoy.

@Dac

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend… I give you my condolences.

Well, that new clip from Ponyville Confidential pretty much spilled the beans on Gabby Gums' alias.

It was already known, from the very first preview.

The little synopsis every episode gets weeks before it's aired said who Gabby Gums was.

Yeah, but do you know what would be a real twist? If Gabby Gums was Gummy.

To bad that won't happen. :|

Can you say…….D'aww?

Season three, eh?

Well, it's a bit early to say much at this point. But, one thing we know for certain is that it will be the first season without any of Faust's direct influence. Whether this is bad or not remains to be seen, but for what it's worth, I have faith in the team's capabilities. The show never was Faust's alone, after all.

There's also the whole debacle about there only being 13 confirmed episodes. Primo: It was never an official announcement. Secundo: From what I've heard it's standard practice to only order half a season at first, unless success is absolutely guaranteed. Tertio: I very much doubt Hasbro would be dumb enough to kill potentially the best money-maker they've ever managed to breed in the crib like that.

As for what we're gonna see? Well, beyond this point all you'll get is wild speculation, but here goes:

There's a good chance for more "pandering" to us. Some folks don't like that idea one bit and I can imagine why if it's done too ham-handedly. But, there's no reason to assume the team can't pull off the careful balancing act it requires. They've certainly got the skill for it. Besides, the best way to pander to us is to keep on doing what they've been doing so far, and they know that.

We'll certainly see some more world-building and character development, so don't get too attached to any fanon you might have knockin' around your noggin. Always keep it compartmentalized and remember: All ideas are in danger of being Jossed at any times unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Since they're making a big fuss over the whole wedding thing, I wouldn't be surprised if it has an impact on the playing field. Be ready to see those two lovebirds again. Of course, this ain't no guarantee, we had to wait a whole season to see Luna again last time around.

John de Lancie said he'd done some new stuff for the pony. Since his wording is a bit vague, and since I know for a fact that voice acting gets done well in advance (it's pretty much the first thing after initial scripting), I'm going to go ahead and say a Discord appearance is quite likely. In what capacity, however, I am not sure. Perhaps there will be a history episode or perhaps our favourite deity of chaos breaks free again, who knows?

Did I hear someone say crossover? Well, there will certainly be plenty of pop-culture references as always, but full-blown crossovers? That's a bit hard to swallow, but hey, I wouldn't put it past them. They're a skilled bunch and they could probably pull it off somehow. Consider it pretty unlikely, though.

As for what should happen? Well, I'm not one for dictating what the team should do, they're the experts here. But, here's what I'd like to see:

More about the regions surrounding Ponyville and, by extension, the kingdom of Equestria. There's plenty of interesting possibilities to be explored there.

More about the history of Equestria. There's plenty of background story we're missing here and it'd be much appreciated if they shed a little light on the events that transpired in ages past.

More adorable, cuddly little ponies. That's a given, obviously.

Since I'm a massive fan of all things medieval, I wanna see some ol' castles and knights and sieges and battles and feudal politics and great big honkin' swordfights, oh my! Eeeeh, too bad that ain't likely given the show's nature. Bummer.

Inb4 Kalmo and Nintendork64.

Holy crap, so much sad.

NEED.

MORE.

HAPPY PONY.

Much better.

Can you say exploitable?

thread is getting kind of gloomy and im running out of cookie dough here, so instead have a song.

Also, Dac:

Thank you 404, this actually cheered me up a little.

Well going to sleep all!
(Now look at what I found in the image section!)

Have fun! :D

Holy shit.

I just realized that 404 beat me to it. By how much, I do not know.

But it must have been in the fucking seconds, because I posted that shit immediately.

Eh too bad Nintendork is a brony hater but secretly, is a closet brony! Jus' sayin'.
And now I just shot my foot with this post.

I just want to say, that post was beautiful. I didn't expect such a response to my question.

So, been working on the derpy hooves mask…Thing is: I have no idea how to laminate it.

@Saporian

You should be able to find a printing business that can do it for you.

Anyway this thread did get a bit sad for a short time period but I'm happy to see so many people be so supportive. That counters any sadness for me. I'm sure Dac will be alright.

In other news: are these ponies multicolored? Or did someone pour acid into my local water supply?

Good God, can everyone please downvote me as much as possible? I read through every TL;DR the last few pages, and the one thought that came through my head first was "these posts sure are getting a lot of karma."

Seriously, am I that horrible of a person? People are opening up their innermost secrets and personal thoughts on life, and here I am, worrying about a number that means nothing.

Don't get me wrong, I just about bawled out my eyes for each and one of them, and they probably taught me more about life than I've learned in university . This thread really does have some amazing posters that I had no previous knowledge of.

I feel terrible right now.

Would you like some hugs too, Twins?

Why no one gave me a hug?

I hug you guys during the most toughest times…

sigh

So no one can notice me… :(

Edit:

Oh yeah, I also found this game . If you complete it, you get a clip from next weeks episode.

Let's just say the whole situation is partially like this…

Well, that would explain the invisible cutie mark.

You are all free to worship Fluttershy now.

fuck that, this is now a woona thread!

Bye guys. I'm going to be gone for thr next week. Both on vacation (which sucks) and to work out some personal shit. It's been fun, keep the thread moving.

P.S.If any of you actually gave a fuck you could ask opspe about it.

Connor leaving for the week?

Alright everyone, you know the proper response to this. Say it with me now:

Oh well, have fun on your vacation and good luck. We'll be waiting for you when you get back

So what might be opspe's say on the matter?

@Bruelock, Twins, and Dac:

Also, about Conner leaving:

those arent woona post! Those are sad posts!

look you made her cry!

Post Woona! For God's sake, make her happy!

It's not safe to go alone. Here take this!

Obligatory pre-content Luna post:

That should keep Pyro (and 404) happy.

About Connor:

He's on spring break, so his family is taking him on vacation. However, he's been feeling a bit unappreciated lately (as you may have gathered from his post), and he was afraid we'd forget about him after a week.

gasp
Connor feels underappreciated? I suggest leaving appreciative and condoling messages in his inbox! Who's with me?

Does Connor need hugs and cookies too?

Why yes, yes I can.

Woona posts?

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe. Victory is mine.

Now, you may worship me as if I were a god.

BTW, bronies… RedditGifts is having an MLP-themed exchange

Who is this Connor person you speak of?

I have the memory span of an amnesiac goldfish, so I must be constantly reminded of the people who inhabit a thread I've been on for months. I CAN'T HELP THAT MY BRAIN IS MUSH! :(

@burning pheonix

Connor the Brony

I think MLP Thread is a pretty cool guy. Eh never posts anywhere else and doesn't afraid of anything.
