I'm back from my Christmas adventure! I've got a stomach full of chocolate and a neck full of sunburn, plus a pair of pretty pony figurines coming in the mail. A Lyra and a Bon Bon. I will make them kissu and nobody can stop me!


@Sheep
My alley… this is up it.


@Tirek
For the uninformed, our friend Mr. Lethal over here was getting his jimmies in a jam when the season 4 finale spoilers came out because of the possibility that Vinyl was going to get her magic sucked out of her and that somehow would have made her a weaksauce character. He took it personally. Then Vinyl wasn't in the episode so he breathed a sigh of relief and decided that she got away from Tirek and probably had a chance to inflict painful revenge on him herself.

My advice, Jimmy? Don't take it personally. Celestia, the Mane 6, Discord, even precious little Derpy got their magic taken from them, and they're still awesome. It didn't come across as a tortuous mindrape. You can justify Vinyl's escape all you want and that's fine, but I seriously don't think it matters if she got Ti-rekt or not. I apologise for what must come across as an overly-aggressive and immediate response, but the fact that you're still hung up about this months later worries me.


Wow, that is not a note I wanted to start a new page on. Have a silly instead.

I was going to suggest we all post butts, but people get angry at me when I do that so maybe not.

The author posted chapter 2 of <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/237992/who-is-this-lord-tirek-you-speak-of">"Who is this Lord Tirek You Speak Of?", and this chapter totally took me by surprise.

-Conrad/Tirek is taken to the hive (AKA the changelings' home) with the changelings. Conrad asks the commander of the changelings about their queen, Chrysalis, but a few of the questions end with the answer "I would never speak ill of the queen, sir."
-The group finally arrives, with Conrad holding Skyflower in his hand. Commander (the changeling doesn't have a name) introduces Lord Tirek to Chrysalis, but she fires him with a laser to shut him up.
-Conrad introduces himself, and Chrysalis offers an offer of alliance to Conrad/Tirek, but he refuses.
-Chrysalis is furious and attacks, but Conrad blocks the attack easily with one hand. Chrysalis charges the attack that is formed in the shape of a large energy ball, and the energy ball grows bigger.
-The changelings around Chrysalis absorb the energy, and the ball disappears. It turns out that the ball was made out of love.
-Commander of the changelings appear in front of Chrysalis and condemns her by listing all of the things that she has done that has infuriated him, especially about Chrysalis killing the commander's mate and smashing her egg, which contained the future queen. The acts she committed is not against the changelings' laws, though, since they were never created in the first place.
-Commander finally says that the energy ball that the changelings absorbed contained love energy, stating that she broke the first and foremost law in the changeling hive: All love must be shared between all members within the hive equally. Violation of the law would result in death.
-All of the changelings attack Chrysalis, and Conrad/Tirek walks out of the scene.
-Skyflower, who was released by Conrad earlier in the story, is apparently watching the entire scene to glean what helpful she might find in the hive before leaving
-Conrad agrees to stay inside the hive for the night, since wandering the night in the forest is dangerous.
-Meanwhile, in Canterlot, the princesses find that Tirek has escaped and decides to send Discord to deal with him.

Looking forward to see how the rest of the story goes.

I feel that bronies abandoned everything that made them bronies in the first place, namely by liking the Twilight/Tirek fight scene but disliking the five key episodes, the Rainbow Power, and Rainbow Castle. The fight abandoned everything that made MLP good in the first place, including the friendship themes, by making Twilight an overpowered bad-ass, and her friends worthless, disposable victims. Meanwhile, the five key episodes gave Twilight's friends meaningful storyline significance to the key arc, and their own moments of character-development, which led up to them earning Rainbow Power and a Rainbow Castle alongside Twilight Sparkle herself.

So why would bronies stop caring about Twilight's five friends and their equal focus, and instead go for Twilight's Super Saiyan bad-assery? That's the same problem as DBZ, you know: Tons of non-saiyan martial artists becoming irrelevant and disposable, and the saiyans becoming the only relevant ones because of the Super Saiyan transformations.

Don't engage with Commander_Ponyshep. I know for a fact that he's been banned from at least six other forums for posting this exact same pointless rant over and over and over again in the face of all argumentation and warnings to the contrary.

When I first saw this post, I misread the bold as "augmentation"…

Well, I figure that covers it for video game ponies, I actually have some more in-depth thoughts on what Jimmy asked on the last page, will post that later.

Those are some strong implications.

@Commander_PonyShep
Your daily reminder even a majority of /mlp/ liked the finale and felt S4 had redeemed the show.

@xTSGx
Why would people actually like Twilight's new castle? And what about the Rainbow Power and the five key episodes that came before Twilight's? People hated those things, yet would rather the Twilight/Tirek fight for its superficial aspects, despite it representing a huge, unequal power gap between Twilight and her friends.

This is just a public service announcement reminding forum goers not to feed the troll. The current topic of conversation is [ponies] and [video games]. That is all.

I'm that troll you're talking about, right?

Besides, what I'm talking about has a lot to do with MLP. It's about the way MLP's S4 finale deliberately abandoned the show's core friendship themes by disregarding Twilight's friends and their five key episodes, in-exchange for a bad-ass, Super Saiyan Twilight, similar to the way saiyans like Goku and Vegeta became crutches (if not Mary Sues) for all of the other non-saiyan heroes.

Saying shit MLP is ok for me, I don't care, but calling Goku and Vegeta Mary Sues? You are a dead man! So it will be, don't worry guys I can take this on. First of all, your agrument is invalid, when you can get over this and accept it, I will tell you why it is invalid.

I'm not saying Goku and Vegeta are Mary Sues. All I'm saying is that, even with limitations to their powers, they're both crutches for the other heroes to constantly rely on, at the expense of their own growth and development as heroes in their own rights.

Don't feed the troll. He did the same on 3 different forums. Ignore him.

Also, don't derail this thread into a Dragon Ball discussion. Let's keep it on topic.

They are fucking aliens, way more powerful than any human could be. It's natural the weak will die. Anyway, Twilight had a proper reason to fight Tirek in a Dragon Ball style, first of all, she was the only one who survived Tirek's power sucking madness, and therefore the one who had every alicorns' power, that means 4's, her own, Celestia's, Luna's, and Cadence's, if she ain't fighting Tirek, then no one, the style was dragon ballish 'coz both of them had great powers, and great powers come with great explosions and lots of light. And one thing, 'coz once it had a quiet amazing end doesn't mean the creators are abandoned the friendship stuff. Think before you say anything.

So, you're also saying that Twilight's friends are all irrelevant and useless, and that they should be brutally murdered to make Twilight even more bad-ass.

Penny wrote:

I lost the track here, are they dead? No, so stop this shit while you can.

And besides, Twilight didn't even win that fight at all. She surrendered her alicorn magic to save her friends, earning Tirek a short-term victory but also earning her her final key that allowed ALL OF THE MANE SIX to defeat Tirek as a BLOODY, GODDAMN TEAM!!!!

Are you done now?

Not unless you come to terms with the Rainbow Power, and the Power of Friendship by extension, saving the day instead of alicorn magic. Because alicorn magic was useless against Tirek, that meant friendship had to defeat Tirek, as it always had in the entire series. And here, you and every other brony are making it look like that friendship should be abandoned altogether for DBZ-style, fascist Super Saiyan power.

First I'm not a brony, I watched the show until the 2 season then stopped, and what you say is bloody stupid 'coz as you said at the end they defeated Tirek as a team, so what now?

Can you be more specific? What did I say that was stupid? The way friendship saved the day instead of alicorn magic? Or the way I keep saying that bronies are making it look like that friendship should be abandoned altogether for destructive, Super Saiyan power?

I have 12 stories in my "Read Later" list, but I haven't cleared them because other stories have been popping up lately on the "Featured" or "Popular Stories" section.

This is what my "To read later" list looks like. I can clear them in a couple of days, but rather than reading through all of them and tire my brain out like I did in the past, I'm taking it slow and read only a few of them per day.

YEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! The fifth and final chapter of <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/223881/luna-works-at-freddy-fazbears">"Luna Works at Freddy Fazbear's" is here! And I had a blast reading it.

-After lowering the moon, Luna enters Twilight's home to get information on psychology. Instead, Twilight starts lecturing Luna about it ever since the night princess entered the library.
-Luna keeps on falling asleep while Twilight is droning during her lecture. So Twilight brings Luna a coffee with sugar and cream for her to drink.
-Luna drinks it…and goes crazy for coffee! Eight cups later, she is speakingatasuperrapidpace! TWENTY CUPS LATER, SHE IS ALL HYPER AND READY TO TRAVEL TO THE HUMAN WORLD TO WORK AT THE PIZZERIA!!!
-Freddy goes out to get her revenge on Luna…only to realize that Bonnie and Chica are restraining him for the upcoming therapy session. Luna arrives a moment later, crashing through the door while holding coffee and two night guards with her magic.
-Coffee-crazed Luna begins the therapy session by asking stuff about Freddy's childhood. She even pours down a coffee down Freddy's throat during a short coffee break. This causes Freddy to stutter while speaking.
-Freddy makes up a story about his "childhood". Luna thinks that Freddy is lying, but Bonnie and Chica make up their own tales to back up Freddy's story. Luna buys into it (she's not able to think clearly because of the coffee running around in her system.)
-Continuing the therapy session, Luna asks why Freddy has a hard time accepting the fact that Luna is not an endoskeleton. Chica answers that Freddy "is a creature of routine" and has a hard time accepting the fact that Luna is an ordinary creature.
-With the problem resolved, the coffee-crazed princess barges inside the kitchen for coffee. Finding none, she crashes the front entrance and out of the pizzeria to find coffee. The animatronics look around in confusion while the night guards follow Luna.
-Luna randomly breaks into a two-story house and asks the family members there to make her a coffee.
-Night guard says that he knows a store where they can buy a bunch of coffee in order to get Luna out. Both of the ponies exit the house afterwards.
-Bonnie fixes Freddy up after the coffee messed up his circuits. Luna returns with a coffee maker and a bunch of coffee and creamer.
-The group finds Foxy in the kitchen with a bunch of spiders around him. Before he is able to unleash the spiders at the group, the police arrive in the pizzeria. They state that a bunch of coffee were stolen in the supermarket.
-Luna disarms the police. Celestia appears and interrupts the scene.
-Luna's hyper coffee rage dies down, and she begins to feel tired once again. She falls asleep as Celestia apologizes to the police about what happened.
-Six a.m.! Celestia, Luna, and the two night guards leave, while Celestia tells the humans that she will fix the damage after she takes care of Luna.
-Back in Canterlot, Celestia lectures Luna about her behaviors. Luna agrees that she will never drink coffee again. Luna never liked coffee to begin with, so she's fine with the decision.
-Both of the princesses fly over the garden and around the castle and discuss about the guard who will be replacing her. Celestia tells her sister that everything will be fine.
-Back at the pizzeria, the new guard is here. He looks like an ordinary kid. The animatronics pounce on him, but he disappears right in front of their eyes. The kid re-emerges behind the robots and changes form. The new guard turns out to be…
-…DANNY PHANTOM!
-Bonnie wished that Luna was back….

And that's the end of the story! If you guys haven't checked out the story now and if you like FNAF, do it! It's finally finished, and I had a great time reading it as well.

Hey guys, I'm back from suspension, did I miss the troll? …I did

Damn, I wanted to ban him first. He already posted those topics in two other threads which got no responses, so obviously nobody wants to read anything he had to say


Anyway, ponies have survived another year

The ride just keeps going doesn't it?

Those are some strong implications.

I'm implying that the ponies in Ponyville, Canterlot, and Appleoosa were all he needed. But hey, it's New Years!

Aw, shoot. I made a typo in my previous post. The first link was supposed to link to the fanfic, not the fanart. <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/237992/who-is-this-lord-tirek-you-speak-of">This is the fanfic it was supposed to link to.

Happy new year to all you plebs people. I'm doing a pony calendar thing where every month is represented by a pony, I've got half of the months set, but still don't know which pony to represent the rest of the months.

The months and ponies left are:
March, May, August, November and December.
Pinkie, Rarity, CMC, Spike and Twilight.

Help me match these months with the ponies and I'll reward you with my love.

Oh, this sounds cool!

Let's see…

For what you have left I'd personally go with Rarity on November (Thanksgiving feels like it fits her well as she's all about sharing what she has), Pinkie for December (lots of holidays = lots of parties), and the CMCs for May (School's out!).

I don't know how you have your other ponies distributed, but I'd think that March would be a good fit for Fluttershy (start of Spring and that) and I'd put Twilight in April or May as she could sit inside and read during the rainier months.

I guess that sort of leaves Spike in August by process of elimination, though I'm not really sure of a good way to tie his character in with that time of year…

I'll go ahead and take that love you promised now!


Have a cool gif that is WAY to big to hotlink without getting in trouble… again.

Onto another awesome year of pony!

First Blue Yoshi fanfic update of 2015:

<img src = "http://i.imgur.com/JL6VMUB.png">

What? Only eight fanfics in my "To Read" list? You know what that means? I have found at least one long fanfic that I want to read in the future. The fanfics I have in mind are:

<a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/231931/what-ive-done">"What I've Done" (Sequel to "What I've Become")
<a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4656/anthropology">"Anthropology"
<a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/141746/roll-for-initiative">"Roll for Initiative"

A few more announcements:

-I'm going to read <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/231931/what-ive-done">"What I've Done" and follow the story and the arc to see where it goes. However, unlike the prequel, I will not type out a bunch of notes in the spoiler tag.
-If you haven't done so, do it now, because the author of <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/237992/who-is-this-lord-tirek-you-speak-of">"Who Is This Lord Tirek You Speak Of?" has announced that he will release a new chapter of the fanfic every 2-3 days. On an interesting note, the fanfic has reached 1000 upvotes last night, making it one of the two fanfics I know that has reached 1000 upvotes in less than a week. The other one was "Cards Against Equiniti".
-For those of you who like short stories, check out <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/238342/chrysalis-works-at-quills-and-sofas">"Chrysalis Works at Quills and Sofas". If the fanfic reaches 1000 upvotes tonight, then it will reach that mark in four days, which is one day faster than "Who is this Lord Tirek You Speak Of?" and "Cards Against Equiniti".

@Blue Yoshi
>Anthropology
I've never read it, but I've heard from those that have that it derails about two-thirds of the way through when Discord starts being used as a plot device and "pie" gets a new meaning--if you know what I mean.

<a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/239005/fimfic-authors-are-in-your-bed">What in the world is this?! It seems to be another <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/143469/cheerilees-thousand">"Cheerilee's Thousand".

Let me say this, Snips and Snails are, the most over hated characters in the Brony community, they are hated due to voice, replacement, working with villain, and wished they don’t exist. But I think they (Snips, and Snails) have unnecessary hate , I will be going reasons, and saying about people arguments.
I think the hate is unnecessary to these characters because there have always have been people who look awful when young, and look cool, bada**, and cute when grown, there’s always been people who become better then their young selves, so why hate them when we people don’t see these characters full potential, we don’t see them yet (at least in my opinion), so why hate them?
For agurments:
“Their voices are awful”
True, but again not full potential. Also Snails sounds like Kermit The Frog, why not like that, he’s also from a actor who also voices a main character from a POPULAR Anime! I mean think about it guys.
“I wish they don’t exist!” ( That’s not an argument really, but I putting on here anyway)
Well that’s harsh for those colts (Which are young), they are too young to be nonexistent, what it would have been me that’s like that?
“They replace Derpy”
So that means, to maybe you guys that Twist replace Bonbon if Bonbon disappears then, so that means she shouldn’t exist. Also I don’t think they replace derpy because they have yet both appear in one, or two episodes, including Equestria Girls (one and two). Also there’s a difference between mental disorder, and being dumb, people.
“They always work with the villain.”
Well not always, and true they do work with the villain (Well only once) but that doesn’t mean they are intentionally evil, they’re just mindless sheep.
I feel like people don’t even care for these guys, and never give them a chance to shine, there’s still possibilities of these two, Snips will maybe be a great barber, while Snails will be a amazing Scientist.

I'm not even sure they're dumb as much as not thinking before they do things. I mean, lets face it, in the episode that they lured an Ursa Minor into ponyville, they managed to do it without ending up as a snack for the Ursa- which, frankly, is the more liekly outcome of their shenanigans that episode.

As for Equestria Girls, well, that is even easier to explain. At what point prior to the Fall Formal did Sunset Shimmer do anything that would reveal her true plan? and, lets face it, Sunset Shimmer never acted worse than an average high school bully until she turned into the demon. (yes, even making it look like Twilight had wrecked the preparations for the Fall Formal- I had to deal with almost getting into trouble more than once because some asshole had made it look like I'd done something wrong. So, in short, Sunset did nothing that hasn't happened in RL, with people still being friends with the asshole in question.

I think most of the argument stems from the fact that people believed Snips and Snails were a generalization of males in Equestria, which hasn't even been possibly accurate since season two began and Discord was quite possibly the smartest being in the MLP world.
