Tank is awesome! And radical! And cool!

Well that answers the fan-idea that Twilight was the only one to get a dragon age, but ruins the idea of other ponies raising baby dragons too

Years ago I was a serious collector and probably spent over a thousand dollars or more on ponies easily, but then I had financial trouble and sold my collection (this was when g3 came out so I bought a lot of the ponies as they came out in stores. at one point I had everything with Rainbow Dash ever made at the time). Right now I'm avoiding buying anything much FiM if only to prevent myself from going overboard. I think I've probably spent less than a hundred on pony stuff so far over the last year and a half.

I agree, I think this was a 'monsterous' growth from his unhealthy hording. He's growing up fine. But no, no wings, he doesn't have wings. There isn't an animal on earth born with no wings that suddenly has them appear. Nothing wrong with earth dragons

I don't like the idea of a new, seperate term for female pony fans if only because many of the other female fans I know were around before brony became the term for male fans. Now we need a new term for female fans? Huh?

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH! Thank you thank you! I'm so grateful to have won! I really hoped the story wasn't too short or too 'horrorish' and I guess it wasn't Congrats to all the winners and the other great stories!

Shame we can't do a Canterlot Secret Santa

I love Rainbow Dash but I am officially sick of seeing her. I kind of worry this episode was put in solely to make an excuse to make her character less Rainbow Dash-y (cocky, competitive, thoughtless) in the future. What I liked: RD didn't start off boasty at least. She was embarrassed and surprised at her accolades at first. Pinkie's Pinke-Sense being used as a superpower Stalk--I mean Scootaloo having converted her friends into the Rainbow Dash fanclub. And also Bon-Bon I've saved the grass! What I really disliked: The random geography added to Ponyville SOLELY for plot points for the story. Cliff? Gorge? DAM?! ESPECIALLY a cliff right at the edge of some sort of residential area, so we can't even act like it was some outside section we've not been to. How...forcasted the end was, at least for me. The ponies all talking about the Mare-Do-Well "Oh, a spell like that she must have STUDIED HARD hint hint" was a bit much. I know I expected Tank to win last week but I was still surprised at how they set it up at the end. This was just too obvious for me (though not for everyone it seems) How 'Oh, gosh, I guess not being arrogant makes more sence!' line for the moral. I mean reaaally. I expected at least some sort of argument. Or apology. Not "oh yes this makes sense now I am solved.' I am not HAPPY her friends chose to take this route to teach her a lesson, but given how arrogant she's been before, I'm willing to see this as a 'last resort' situation. Man Ponyville is unsafe. And lord Rainbow Dash's life seems lonely. I hope we see her more with her pet if only because of the fact she seems to have NO ONE, unlike all the other ponies. She doesn't even seem to really hang out with the others as much, given all her cloud time.

Hahaha.. I decided I liked this ep enough I started a tumblr blog for Tank. He's one radical tortoise, even though the radicalness was never proved through conclusive testing.

I think this should probably be moved to the Creativity forums

Working as well. Even better, I'll be in nice and EARLY Christmas morning. Cooking doesn't stop either, in fact it gets more busy. I just hope the hotel is quiet and maybe I can go home early.

Art of the Dress and Winter Wrapup, they both regularly get stuck in my head

It.. so.. what.. wrong.. that's not what Boot means!

Hmm, Winne the Pooh, Tiny Toon Adventures, Pretty much everything Disney was showing in the late 80's and early 90's. Rupert, Garfield and Friends, AHHHH Real Monsters was awesome and too short lived. Hmmm. Rocko's Modern Life, which I kinda see as a proto-spongebob. Ren and Stimpy. A lot of strange stuff on TVO that I barely remember from early childhood like Doctor Snuggles. COUNT DUCKULA! Lots of Warner Bros. Oh, the old X-Men cartoon with Jubilee and crappiness! I looved it! It's weird, but I also get nostalgia for the late 90's stuff too. I was in late highschool and college and watched a lot of toons, so I have strong memories of stuff I'm way out of the childhood range of, like Recess, Pepper Anne, Weekenders, Filmore!, Arthur, etc.

Haha, this is a problem also even in English countries (Anime dubs especially use the same voices over and over and OVER.. it used to be even worse) As a french-enough speaker (not fluent but comfortable listening to it) I agree the voices just sound.. off. Fluttershy is good WHEN SHE'S NOT SINGING, Pinkie sounds too old, Dash sounds too young (like a little boy rather than a tomboy sometimes), Applejack.. I don't even know what they're attempting with her voice half the time. Twilight and Rarity are neutral for me though I'm not thrilled with Rarity's voice, but only because the english actress is SO expressive. I guess the other niggle is as good as the localization is, some things just didn't work in the French. 'You're going to LOVE ME' translating to 'do you LOVE ME?' doesn't have the same ring for example . (Though I'm singing "L'hiver s'enfuit" RIGHT NOW in spite of how wrongly they translated that.. even totally mutilated that is SUCH A CATCHY TUNE isn't it?)

Awww, sweet. yeah, I suffered through "Let me tell you how hot Spike is!" way too much. I tried to watch for the Willow/Tara but I didn't care for the writing of it. At the time, I felt the whole "Hey I'm a Wicca lesbian" seemed contrived. Dunno how I'd feel now. That's why I try and be especially loving and tolerant of my non-brony friends, because I know what it's like to be groaning when someone won't shut UP about a show. ... which I don't
