@Tim's poll
Why not both?
There's nothing stopping anyone from hosting a stream whenever they feel like it so, while having one set time that everyone knows about for a 'big' stream is great, anyone could start one up at anytime.
Post about it here and people will come.

@Living in Equestria
I'd probably have to go with Los Pegasus as well.
(See ya there, mark!)
Yeah, it's not really an 'adventurous' choice since I already live in Southern California, but I love the weather and pegasi are awesome!
Really, the best part about it all seems to be that none of the cities are all that far away from each other so a particular choice doesn't bind you too much.

“Am I the only colt around here who has any balls!?”

Yeah, because doing that would certainly ensure your safety in that particular region.
One thing about sentient creatures being 'gelded?'
They probably won't take to kindly to newcomers wandering around and rubbing their noses in it.
(And I mean that both figuratively and literally, though the latter probably applies to just about anyone.)
You won't be unique for long…

Now, on to a slightly more serious matter:
Lauren Faust needs our help!
And to pique your interest, she asks a question: How bad do you want to name an alligator 'Gummy?'
(In fact, the offer winds up including not only the aforementioned alligator, but also a rabbit, an owl, and a tortoise, all with their 'expected' names!)
Essentially, donations to a very good cause could make such a thing a reality.
Just for fun, she also included some little sketches that are also her very first drawings of Angel and Gummy.

OK… if you could live anywhere in Equestria BUT Ponyville (cause I know most of you would say that), where would you live?

Personally, I would choose to live in Los Pegasus, mainly since it's a pony version of California, which I visited once. It's near beaches, it's a large city, and I would find it safe to say the main population would be Pegasi!

And for all of you? Where would you live?

Sonata Dusk wrote:

Where would I live?

South of the Apploosan Mountains and the Swamps of New Horseleans, but North-East of the Forest of Leota. Or, more specifically,

Here.

Just so I can walk around saying,

"Am I the only colt around here who has any balls!?"

That's actually a place?!?

Well, this leads to all kinds of nightmarish implications.

'How come there is such a radically higher number of female ponies than male ponies?"

The answer is there isn't…chromosomally. Half of Equestria's 'females' are really just males that have been castrated and returned to society and forced to live as mares. It's a way to insure that the ridiculously peaceful standards of Equestria aren't broken by those with a little more testosterone than they can handle. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE IN A DICTATORSHIP/MATRIARCHY!

Oh God…Rainbow Dash…what did they do to you? (inb4 fic of Rainbow Dash starting life out as a colt, being deemed too irrascable, getting gelded, and trying to find a way to live 'her' life and remain awesome in a new body.)

Seeing as my OC is unicorn master race, I would obviously be living among the Canterlot elite selling my work at fine arts galleries that go for millions of bits.

Nah, that's too snobby for me

I think I'll live in Appleloosa instead because Braeburn because they have horse drawn horse drawn carriages because of the big hats ok it's because of Braeburn.

Although I might be more of the traveling pony. I would come from a small town like Appleloosa, where my family works at the orchard, but my artistic talent would not make me unlike Rarity, yearning for more outside of the small desert town. And so I would be off, traveling Equestria after having multiple affairs with Braeburn. It was a forbidden love that nopony could ever find out about. Letting the different landscapes and ponies inspire my work. Hell, maybe I'd even learn the lighter than air spell so that I can visit Cloudsdale! I would make sure visit my family often, because no matter how far away from home I went, I would always smell the apple pies calling me home. Eventually, I would settle in Manehattan and become a famous storybook artist.

Hey, I just wrote a backstory for my OC :D

KYM PONY GENERAL IN A NUTSHELL

badsitrep wrote:

I found the following proposal while browsing /mlp/ since /b/ has been invaded by spam-bots, /m/ never updates and /s4s/ has been conquered by le master trole.

Warning: The following headcanon may melt your brain and cause cringe beyond your wildest imagination

If you haven't gotten the implied proposal yet and aren't currently in the corner full on fetal position, I will explain.

Obviously the top image shows Twilight's Mom and Dad aand the bottom Twi and Trixie.

However, observe Twilight's Dad's cutiie mark and the cutie mark of Trixie.

Both incorporate the lunar crescent in some way shape or form. Typically, as shown by the apple family's cutie marks all dealing with apples and the Royal Sisters having a celestial inspired marks, cutie mark design is a hereditory trait. However, such a relationship can be said to be a case of "correlation =/= causality" unless further correlation within the field of study can be established.

Now observe the color scheme of Twi's Dad and Trixie. Their coats are somewhat similar and have similar hue ranges. Now, from study of other pony families, color duplication is not a clear indicator of being descended from each other. Moreover, as shown with the Cakes, the children only inherit one or two the hues of one of their parents (Both Pumpkin and Pound have a cream colored coat, of which, cream color is only a few saturation levels away from their fathers coat color, orange. Trixie's coat color is only a bit lighter that Twi's Dad's coat color, thereby falling within the range of possible genetic descendance. This is our second case of correlation.

Third, observe the mane similarities. Trixie's mane style has a slight wave as does her tail. Twi's dad has a very wavy mane and tail. Often times, hair patterns can be diluted when passed from parent to child. A child can have wavy hair when their mother has curly hair and their father straight hair. In MLP, the mane and tail are analogous to hair.

Lastly, take these correlations and try to compare Trixie to Twi's Mom and subsequently Twilight. It can be reasonably assumed that many Twilight's mom's genes are dominant as both Twilight and Shining Armor more resemble their mother in many ways. Both Twilight and her mom have noticeably different color streaks in their manes. Trixie has streaks, but hers are just hue different from her mane's base color. Twi and her mom both have straight, thin manes and tails. Trixie has a full mane and tail. Twi and her mom have slight curved manes and tails whose curvatures can be assumed to be naturally constant and singular. Trixie's mane has two countering curvatures to her mane. Twi and her mom lack a widow's peak, despite Twi's dad having one. Trixie has a widow's peak.

The correlation =/= causality fallacy only holds up when when the correlation is isolated and has no other analogous relationships within the studied data. If there is at least three correlations whose individual contexts differ but whose overall fields of study coincide, correlation can no longer be assumed to not equal causality. We have three cases of Trixie bearing resemblance to Twilight's dad and more of her not resembling Twi's mom. "Correlation =/= causality" fallacy can be subverted in this case.

What does this mean?

Trixie could be related to a member of Twilight's immediate family.

A possible corollary to this theory is that Twi's dad had another foal with a mare other than Twilight's mom. This theory would then make Trixie Twilight's half-sister, and those two immediate family members.

This would also make all Twixie ships EXTRA ICKY-CREEPY, OMG-RIP-EYEBALLS-OUT-WITH-MELONBALLER INCEST FICS.

Note taken, in fact I will make the announcement more prominent.

KYMPG, I ask the question, should the stream stay on Sunday? Use the poll provided to signify when you want the stream. Voting will end April 26th, 2013. You can only vote once so chose wisely.

Poll
If you have any objections, questions or concerns then leave a message on the forum or in my inbox. The stream is a community event and you are the people who make it worthwhile, so feedback is needed on this decision. Thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Edit: the poll has been recreated to fix some errors, if you have voted previously then vote again, sorry for the inconvenience.

That would be a huge twist if it turned out they weren't actually related and were applebloom's parents. AJ got pregnant off of Mac when she was really young and doesn't want to appear as a bad role model or is just ashamed of it so she lies to applebloom. like in that one episode of doctor who with the gas mask kid. Maybe Dash or Twi could be the ones to catch on and reveal their secret. Somebody get on that fanfic, I ain't got the time to do it myself.

Picture this: One day Apple Bloom gets her cutie mark and it has nothing to do with apples. She realizes that the rest of her family has cutie marks that have something to do with apples. She questions her sister and brother about it and they both reveal that she's adopted. Someone write that fanfic.
