hi hi

I'm really bad about live events, but you wouldn't happen to have a recording laying around somewhere would you?

I do indeed, but I've yet to edit and upload it (it's like an hour and a bit so it'll be separate videos, but I'm hoping I can cut out some of the time where I'm just like "Derrrrr how do I drawing the starts?")

Your first live stream was brilliant. I loved it!

Thanks a lot man! I'm glad people enjoyed it - I'll definitely do another one again sometime soon!

I didn't mind as much. I think it kind of worked.

Friendship is magic, so love is surely magical too. And love between an alicorn and a unicorn of similar or perhaps even slightly greater magic output than Twilight certainly should make for a powerfully augmented magic (especially given Cadence's magic is probably love related by nature in the first place). Shining Armor's magical talent is clearly for making barriers, so I think it makes sense that with all that magic power a barrier would explode out to push out all the changelings.

Maybe it's a little rushed, but eh, Discord and Nightmare Moon were beaten by a single blast of power too.

Thanks for this explanation - I like it!

But I'm one of those viewers who likes to explain things to a great degree until it makes sense in my headcanon

Yeah I'm also glad they didn't recycle with the Elements. And as for how they DID beat the threat... well it was a bit quick, but I could actually FEEL the Power of Love radiating off them - I got serious chills And for a one-hour time slot, I think they organised the story layout the best way they could.

I'm definitely watching it again in HD this evening. My head is still spinning trying to analyse it

^Well, I didn't become a big fan of the show until mid summer, even though I've enjoyed and watched the show since Jan '11. I don't know if I could've waited half a year. |D

Like always. :c Oh well, I have a feeling Luna will have much more screentime in season 3. There's a lot of demand of it. I wouldn't be surprised if the season has a bit of a Luna theme even.

That would be awesome... but I think her absence was to establish that she only ever comes out at night... so unless they start setting a lot of episodes at night...

And so begins the long wait until season 3 starts. We have all been there though, right?

I haven't! I'm a season 2 brony! I don't know how I'm going to survive... how did you do it the first time?!

That was fantastic. My one complaint was Celestia getting depowered like crazy, but, you know. Details. So many songs, and I got my singing Twilight Such a beautiful way to round off the season.

Poor Luna though, she misses EVERYTHING

I do indeed live there my friend! Thanks for tuning in, that at least two people I know are defintely going to be there

Hey ponyfans! Do you like cartoons?! Do you like me?! Do you like me drawing cartoons?! If the answer to any of these questions is YES, you might wanna tune into my first ever livestream drawing session ever! It's going down tomorrow. Ima do some sketchin' live on the interwebs, and there's a chatbox where watchers like you can post questions or hurl abuse encouragement! =D

Interested? Simply hit up 'www.livestream.com/astalakio', where you'll find my humble and brand new li'l channel! I'm starting the stream TOMORROW (21/04/2012) at 9PM GMT. That's 3PM CST and 4PM EST for you American folks! So tune in at the appropriate time if you can! It'll be GRATE!

This first stream will be a short one, just some sketching to be used as more of a test-run than anything else, to see if my internet speed can handle it and see how many people turn up!

There may or may not be ponies! It depends on the requests I get at the time, but I expect knowing my watchers there'll be pony XD

Hope to see yas there!

Betterbones watched carefully as the nameless stallion attempted to wobble to his hooves, those searching green eyes of his scanning every miniscule twitch and movement, locating which muscles were damaged, which legs he put more of his weight on, the tiny movements that made him flinch. There was nothing they could do for his injuries here, but once they got him back to the clinic, knowledge of his condition would be key to his repair, and this was the best chance he would have for collecting data. Once they had him safely in a hospital bed he didn't want to have to get him up again. They could use diagnostic spells, of course, but nothing compared to observing with one's own eyes.

The stallion fell to the ground again and the doctor's frown deepened.

"A few seconds isn't good enough, I'm afraid." He said, and looked to Arnica, moving Comet gently through the air as he did so. The filly weighed next to nothing, so he was certain that Arnica wouldn't have any problem carrying her on her back. He would carry them both himself, but at the sight of the stallion's suffering he had already begun to form a different plan.

"I'll have to take you up on your offer, doctor." He told his colleague, carefully lowering Comet toward her so that the mare could take control and position the patient on her back for carrying as she liked.

He then turned back to the older of their patients.

"Sir," He addressed him, "If you'll stay as still and as quiet as possible, we'll have you back to the clinic in no time." And with that, his horn burst into light once again, the familiar green glow spreading to engulf the mystery pony in its warmth and shelter. The stallion was larger than comet, but wouldn't pose too much of a challenge to carry. That wasn't going to be the hard part. Even as he began to lift the second patient into the air, his horn sparked a little with the second spell he was attempting to work.

There was nothing they could do for his injuries at this point - nothing that it wouldn't be worth waiting to get back to the clinic for - but the patient was clearly in a lot of pain and discomfort. Betterbones had plenty of spells, none of which he liked to use, to alleviate pain, to create numbness in a pony's body. He knew the danger of them well, for although they were almost always perfectly effective, once cast they took a while to wear off... and the best way for a doctor to know if a patient's injuries are worsening is through the pain they feel. If the patient feels no pain, it takes away one of the doctor's advantages. "One of our senses" a familiar voice muttered in his head. But Betterbones had already calculated the situation. This pony was in too much discomfort for that to matter, so even as he levitated his second patient, he began concentrating on casting a numbing spell to take the worst of the pain.

He had not spoken a word of this plan to Arnica, but it was clear from the sparks that leaped from his horn and from the way he had his eyes fixed in the stallion that the effort he was expending was greater than that required for a simple levitation spell.

"Ready...?" He managed to ask Arnica through gritted teeth.

Of course

Then yes it was quite enjoyable

But... You enjoyed it right? You love blinding yourself when you smile in a mirror don't you? DON'T YOU?!

If I say yes will you stop scaring me?!

Finally, another oral hygiene enthusiast! I bought a new whitening mouthwash and electric water flosser that day!

Haha, that's nice but I don't know if I would qualify as an 'enthusiast', I just ran out so had to get some, that's all

When I saw that article saying Cadence used to babysit Twilight, I remembered that one story on EqD about the girl who was babysat (sitted? It's a difficult term, that...) by Lauren Faust, and she kept the Pictures, Pictures of Ponies that she drew for her. Obviously not an intentional parallel since that video only surfaced recently, way after these episodes had been written, but I liked that little comparison. Thought it was neat.

And by the by, 'Mi Amore', what does that translate to again?

EDIT: Just Googled it. Mi Amore is 'I Love' and Cadenza is apparently 'Every'. So 'I Love All'? What dark secret could possibly go with this?

I had to go to the doctor yesterday. He told me that there was a 100% chance that I was going to die. It took me a few seconds to get it . Other than that, it was a pretty normal day. I had pizza and soda and I played video games.

Whoa, that was brave of him I know a lot of people might not have seen the funny side of that!

What did I do yesterday...? I went into town. And bought... some toothpaste.

IT WAS THRILLING.

*sigh*

My first thought for how they might do it is that the zombie ponies are bright green as mentioned before, with no rotten flesh or anything. They'd probably walk on their hind legs with their front legs sticking out, 'sleepwalking' fashion... and the infection would be passed on not by biting another pony, but by nomming on them. It's much less like 'MUNCH!' and much more like "omnomomnom..." With drool and everything. There would probably be a few seconds gap for the victim to sigh or go "Ewwww! Gross!" Before suddenly turning green and joining the undead horde.

Then for getting rid of them, yeah, either some kind of magic spell or something ridiculous like spraying them with perfume or something strong smelling. I dunno, I'm just guessing based on the kind of things they do and don't show in kid's shows.

Hm, haven't posted in this thread in a while.

...

Wait, scratch that. I just did.

1. Even though my ponysona is a unicorn for practical purposes, I'd much rather be a pegasus... who doesn't want to be able to fly, right?

2. I would have to go with Luna as well... that way I'd get alicorn perks, as well as being royalty, but I get the impression Celestia still handles most of the important duties. At least, I don't know where Luna is all the time if she isn't out exploring 'New' Equestria.

Yeah, usually I'm not bothered about fanon perception of things one way or the other, and I like the show to just go in its own direction so that we can build our community around it rather than trying to control it... but one bit of fanon I did like was the red eyes. It made her really unique simply because it contrasted so well with her other colours. Oh well. As long as she doesn't remove her glasses in the episode/s, we've got nothing to worry about anyway.

Remembers me of this:

But yeah, the only thing with ponies and clothes is the four-legged problem. Those front two legs are not arms, so I always think it's a bit weird when they're shown/drawn wearing clothes like they are. Hats and dresses kind of work, stuff like that. And socks are socks, no matter what way you slice it

I quite like the seeing art of humanised ponies, and obviously the regular kind are awesome, but I have yet to see a picture of an anthro pony that doesn't creep me out to some extent on a fundamental level... I'm not sure why *shrug*

Solar Flare?

Or

Solar MARE?!

Oh yes, I went there

I really like Starfox's idea that there are several of them made out of the same creatures, like there was some terrible accident involving a lion, a griffon, a pony and whathaveyou. But yeah, if that was the case they would all be as messed up as Discord, but if he's the only spirit of chaos... then I guess they'd all just be moping around all mishapen and deformed somewhere.

Now I feel bad for them!

Actually that is a hidden a closed group so I shouldn't worry about that until an eplyee would ask my facebook password.

Sure, but it's different when it comes to pictures that I actually draw, since art gets spread around, and if I drew a mature pic there's every chance it could get traced back to me from any given site.

Actually, just this morning I was looking up the artwork of Bruce Timm, who's cartoons I grew up with as a kiddie, and, like, most of the art on his site is of lesbian love scenes. I was like "Huh!".
