ah, I'm so far behind! I think the last I read was #9 I think...

Ouch, halfway through the Big Mac arc then. That was the last Cook/Price arc, though they also did the Luna Micro (which was the last one, replaced by Friends Forever) since then. This one's a 4-parter from the comic's A-team.

I will say, Friends Forever #1 sucked (Applejack/Pinkie Pie), but #2 (CMC/Discord) and #3 (Spike/Celestia) were good reads.

For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils just ~18 hours away. What little I've seen of it (yeah, some sites are nearly as good with Spoiler tags as yours truly), I'm pretty hyped. McCarthy promises some amazing visuals and well, I might as well believe her lies for once.

The episode tomorrow?

Spoiler

It might well be a little divine.

[BigO]

Possibly. Perhaps she just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally wants Rainbow Dash to do something cool for her

[Watchit]

You know what this thread needs? More muscle ponies.



yes. much better.

What a way to make my (and possibly even Jan's since we're both under the CE time and he's a late night person) morning Hasbro...

He was already doing the teaser for the Galacon '14.

[Egomane]

That's one of the worst decisions Hasbro ever made!

Ego is now a sad pony!


(I chose Sweetie as a sad pic as she is Jans favorite)

[Adridos]

Well, as far as his videos go, only on mega from now on...

At least the Ask-theCrusaders Tumlr was spared, but it's still a massive bummer.

What could of been:


EDIT: And the vid's dead...

The tumbler wasn't really spared.
Jan may no longer use any characters from MLP:FiM. It's clearyl stated in the C&D letter. He will have to take down all the pictures that contain the original charcters from the show.

He may no longer use those characters anywhere. Because of that, Jan will now probably revive his Emerald May blog.

I'm currently in the process of saving the adventures he has drawn to my hardrive, before they are pulled as well.

[Adridos]

Damage control or real deal? Hopefully the latter. Alas, nothing we can do now on this topic.

Anyways, back to the episode:

Spoiler

Well, another mental breakdown added to the bunch. This time seen from someone else's perspective, which is always nice.
I liked the episode overall, pulling the sibling rivalry theme off pretty well (although as the first born, I usually see more of the relatable sibling dynamic in Twilight and Spike) and expanding on the Luna's dream-controlling abillities and her overall character and role (by now, she definitely did more than Celestia outside of 'reading letters' ).
Aside from the fact animators forgot how clopping works, it was also rather great from the animation perspective.

Only 7 episodes left now...

I do hope there will be a change in their recent handling of fan-content. I fear it will not do anything!

Now on to the new episode...

Spoiler

It had it's moments.

I wouldn't put in the top list, but it did show well how younger siblings tend to be jealous about the abilities of the older ones in one way or another. As one who has a few older and several younger siblings I can definatly relate to Sweeties reaction. I have acted that way and I have seen my younger siblings do it as well.

That may be the reason why I wont rate it among my favorites. I can relate to the story to closely. Other details might have played a role as well, but I can't come up with even one.

I very muche liked how Luna helped another CMC by the way of dreams. So when will we see an Applebloom dream episode involving Luna? This season, or do we have to wait till the next one?

[Mazzyplz]

why is this not jettisoned like the anti pony thread???

bias of the moderator?

[Stahlseele]

Because WE did as asked and did not post ponies anywhere else while THEY repeatedly came in here to start some shit with us.
And because we have one mod on our side, yes.
Also, this is still active on a semi regular to regular weekly basis, untill the season is over at least.

Who isn't moderating in this thread. I'm to involved and therefore consider myself biased. At best, I'll make reports on posts violating the thread rules and set such posts to invisible until another mod can process them. I'm not involved in the decision making of those moderations.

This thread isn't jettisoned, because in this thread everything is in good fun. We keep the ponies to ourself and follow the rules established in the opening post. We also do not attack other users here.

The anti-pony thread didn't manange to achieve the same standards. The moderating team had to clean it up repeatedly. Some users simply seem to be unable to discern hate against ponies (a fictional character of a flash animated TV show) and bronies (real humans and participants of these forums and MWO).

Make the anti-pony thread fun and welcoming for everyone and I'm sure it will get a place in the Forum Fun subforum as well. Attempts to disturb this thread to get it jettisoned will probably be moderated.

Because we were good little pony-fans and didn't crap up other threads. And they did. Repeatedly.

In other news, have some Discordian Heraldry.

[Stahlseele]

[Coralld]

The lack of ponies being posted in this thread for even a minute is disturbing.

[Adridos]

So you can't spend your every living, breathing second posting ponies around the nets!?

Sir, I....

[Egomane]

That's how I'm feeling today...
