which pony would you pair you're character up with?
Thoth replied to NemesisPon3's topic in Pony Chatter
My OC Filly Trotman is certainly a hard character to pair. For one thing, he wrote the Daring Do stories. That being the case, he'd be admired constantly by Rainbow Dash. However, despite RD being the main reason he went back to writing at the end of "Fortune & Glory", she's really quite a different character than him. I could see a good comparison between him and Twilight Sparkle. After all, Twilight is a hard-working, intellectual individual who sticks to her work, tries her hardest and is quite the thinker herself. If anything, Trotman is a hard-working soul who simply is put down by the constant life obstacles that knock him over on his face. Does this sound like Twilight? Well, I can't judge. Really, I believe Trotman may not have an appropriate pairing because he somewhat reflects the literature department that every aspiring writer doesn't want to cross: failure. This business aspect and ethic mindset could apply for him to be like Rarity. However, if I went for every similarity, I'd be at this for hours...xD I suppose Rarity would be the best-suited pairing for Filly Trotman. Just comparable for their similar work mindsets, work ethics and values. -
Wow, I just cranked out a song in 10 minutes! This time around, I based it off an upbeat classic by Mr. Ringo Starr from The Beatles, called "Oh My My" Don't know if I felt in a BeatleBrony-like mood, or if I just was feeling peppy today...either way, enjoy! I phoned you right up, gal For 2 years we've been pals You said, "Come on over" I said, "Do I have to?" Oh, her knees started shaking Our hearts both start aching Then that's when I said to her... Oh mare mare, oh mare mare! Don't break my heart babe, don't you dare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare! You set my heart off, like a flare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare It's guaranteed to give us some life! I hoped I didn't blow it, just like a tornado When we start dancing, it's love, Cadence say so! Now our lips are a'sealing Their taste, so appealin' But this is what they say for me! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare! Don't break my heart babe, don't you dare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare! You set my heart off, like a flare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare! It's the only thing that keeps me alive! I would never slow down Because we'll never feel low down We both love each other Now ain't that enough, now? We've got the prescription It's what we've been missing It's sweet love, the best remedy! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare! Don't break my heart babe, don't you dare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare You set my heart off, like a flare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare Livin' happy once in our lives Hey, oh mare mare, oh mare mare Glad you love me, glad you care Oh mare mare, oh mare mare Never shoot me a single glare Oh mare mare, oh mare mare Don't break my heart babe, don't you dare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare You set my heart off, like a flare! Oh mare mare, oh mare mare...

Eeeeyup, I'm making this my song thread. I'll just check in here every once and a while and pop some song lyrics I wrote. I enjoy doing this, actually. Feel free to leave comments about anything I write!

...I'm still disappointed that almost nobody got the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" reference...

You hit the nail on the head, Whitehawke. I particularly enjoyed the "Dawn of Man" parody, because that bit of the film never gets enough love. It did indeed stand well on its own as a parody. In fact, I would've been perfectly fine with that being the parody, and that they could've moved onto the next bit of the video. It seems like the rest did indeed parody it with the most-used bits and didn't use any newer material. HAL-9000 obviously was in it, along with the technicolor transition (Which is unfortunately also overused, because that is a spectacular work of effects by Mr. Kubrick). I suppose it just would've been better if they kept it short and sweet, like every other bit of the video...

Anybody share my opinion and think that maybe the creators should've just made the 2001 parody a separate video? I mean, I loved it for how it was executed because I've actually SEEN 2001: A Space Odyssey. The problem with everyone else is that Bronies aren't all educated as well in film knowledge. Besides that, the movie was released in the 60s. That's putting ALOT of trust onto the viewers having seen it. I'm sure if everyone had seen the film, the last bit would've been appreciated more. However, it comes off as just out-of-place in the fast-editing ways of The Anthology series. It's, essentially, the equivalent of what Family Guy does when they pull that Conway Twitty garbage.

Indeed! The happy stories will be doubled!

Have not yet met another Brony in the wild. However, I did notice one especially odd detail at A&P once. There was a designated kids' book section in one aisle. Was quite small. A few sections down from it, there were exercise magazines, car magazines, all the manliness. Right atop those "manly" magazines was a FiM-related storybook. I said aloud in that very A&P, "The Bronies were here!" I love the mystery that surrounds an obvious Brony trail...

Every day I wish everypony well And now, why has it felt That every time I see you, you fell right in-to my way Someponies would trade a soul for a wish Pennies and dimes for one kiss I never thought it'd be you Standing hooves-in-place Your stare was holding Two pairs of eyes locked Both blue, now Warm night Now I'm the clown now How do I tell you these feelings? Hey I just met you And this is crazy Come to The Corner* Party with me! It's hard to look right into your eyes! So come along with me Party maybe? They take their time with their dance But still, I like to prance Music around, puts us into a trance But you're still right with me Right leg, left to the beat Never going to take a seat I didn't think we'd both feel it But it's here to stay Your stare was holding Two pairs of eyes locked Both for real now Warm night Dance past sundown Now we both got the feeling! Hey I just met you And some say I'm crazy But my friends know it's Pinkie So they party with me! And all the other colts try to chase me But now we're here now Party like Pinkie! Hey I just met you And if we're both crazy Then let's have fun now And party with me! *Sugarcube Corner, that is Hope you enjoyed. Just a random song I tossed together after having to listen to the SAME BUCKING SONG on the way to and back from BronyCon on Saturday and Sunday...

I do have to agree with SteelEagle on the 2001 parody, however. I loved it, but that's because I KNEW the pacing of "A Space Odyssey" and appreciated and understood such. For a video like Ponies: The Anthology, you expect it to be fast-paced and making jokes fast and furious. It just seems that they really could've just made the "2012: A Pony Odyssey" bit a separate video, or made it faster-paced and more akin to the rest of the video. Just felt uneven with the rest, I'd agree. ...still, I love everything about the parody. The beginning bit with Pinkie representing the monkeys at the beginning was just perfect, xD

Since joining here in November, I've only ever seen one case of that happening. Besides that, it's been a surprisingly troll-free time here.

East Coaster Brony right here! Live in New Jersey, so I couldn't begin to imagine how bad the damage is from that storm. However, I hope everypony is OK. Love to see some East Coast Bronies! I sometimes think only myself, my friend Hayden and my girlfriend are the only Bronies in Jersey...xD

I usually watch an episode whenever it's convenient on whatever format. If it's a new episode, I become determined to watch it premiere on The Hub. I usually re-watch at least once that weekend afterwards on Youtube, even a re-run if it's on the next morning on Sunday. Primarily, however, I usually sift through Youtube to re-watch episodes of the show. It's easier to find certain episodes, supported by Hasbro....AND IT'S FREE!

I saw bits and pieces of it throughout the day. I caught parts of it while I was on line for Faust during the day, watched a good 20-40 minutes of it after they continued later in the Con, and then missed the last minute of it while waiting for De Lancie (Who had an ABSURDLY short line at the end of the convention...). I honestly loved this more than the first one. The editing was excellent, the quality of sound and animation was fun, lip-synching was surprisingly spot-on at points. There were quite a few references I DID get, but alot of them I did not. I could tell which ones people DID NOT GET, and some people did. The more obvious ones (Like "The Room" or Keyboard Cat) got huge ovations, while the lesser-known ones (The one song clip of "Day Man" from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") where minimal in applause. I did like how it was spread out, because it kept it fresh and not bland and boring. The ones I got I CRIED LAUGHING at, and the ones I didn't...I laughed at how absurd some were anyways, xD I especially appreciated the 2001: A Space Odyssey homage at the end. Being a huge movie buff, it was EXTREMELY well-done, right down to the technicolor transition near the end and "Daisy Bell". It's clear they put EXTRA effort into this one. I certainly loved it, and I can't wait to see if we ever get a "Ponies: The Anthology 3"...

Here's the original Equestria Daily page for it, download link included: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/super-filly-adventure.html Would I recommend downloading it?.....Ehhhh, there are 3 individual endings: Warrior Ending Muffin Ending Blank Flank Ending They're all equally different in their own rights, but really the Blank Flank Ending is the only thing worth it. Besides that, the game is nothing more than a SEGA Genesis-like point-and-click with a few cool bits here and there. Quite frankly, the Blank Flank Ending is "the best part" about the whole game...

If you're pony characters had a theme song what would it be?
Thoth replied to NemesisPon3's topic in Pony Chatter
All da videos here. They make my 2006 Inspiron slow and sad. If I had to give Filly Trotman a theme song of sorts, I'd probably go with a random guess choice and say "Paperback Writer" by The Beatles. Why: If you ever read "Fortune & Glory", the main story revolves around Filly Trotman, a writer, losing his inspiration to go on writing the Daring Do series. While "Paperback Writer" is much too upbeat to describe that, it describes what Trotman's character is, a busy, bustled and constantly-working character that wants his work to be read and enjoyed, and doesn't care what it takes to do so. -
I don't blame you for having to look up the creepy ending for Super Filly Adventure. The requirements to trigger that ending are EXTREMELY pinpoint, down to REAL-TIME and simply talking to certain characters... Also, Birdemic ftw. I watched that movie at 4 in the morning a while ago, and by the end of it I was in tears from laughter. It's honestly the closest anyone will get to Ed Wood quality entertainment in this day and age...

Personally, I don't want to see Trixie return. Yeah, I said it. She's one of my favorite characters from the show, but unless she brings something new to the show, like a species or character development along with her return, there'd be no point. After all, when you bring back a character, the point is to develop that character and shape them into something different. When you do otherwise, there's no point in bringing the character back. It'd be about the equivalent of Spongebob bringing back the character Dennis from the Movie, and then he hasn't changed at all. There'd be no point other than to say that the character is back. So, in general, Trixie is a pointless character if she were to return unless she is developed thoroughly and is essentially a different character than what she was in "Boast Busters"...

I. LOVE. THIS. FIC. I'm seriously telling you right now, ANYPONY who hasn't read this very fic, READ IT NOW.... Ahem...anyways, I actually had thought of an idea for a thread like this before. A thread that collected all of the dark reaches of fanfiction and art, an "FiM Creepypasta Dump", if you would. I don't know why, but Creepypasta surrounding FiM just intrigues me. From things like "Story of the Blanks" to the growingly-infamous "Super Filly Adventure", I suppose it's just interesting to see... Just my input. I don't exactly seek out dark stuff, and the thread is a bit limited since gore is a no-no...

To be factual, it wasn't even Hasbro's decision to give dialogue Lyra or Derpy extra dialogue in international languages. Moreso, it's the translators who probably tossed it in. International versions, believe it or not, can sometimes be EXTREMELY different from the original version... ...I'm looking at you, male Spitfire...
-
Kimono, Derpy never spoke in the English version of "Sonic Rainboom". International versions of the show sometimes add-in dialogue to a background character. This is not an edit at all, nor is it a sign of Hasbro "censoring" Derpy. Derpy never spoke in the English version, it was simply an add-in by the French. Even Lyra has spoken in some international versions of FiM. Not even joking,

I find the idea that unity (Love) and dis-union (Disharmony or Chaos) would be a great theme to explore if they were to team up at some point. After all, Chrsyalis and Discord (We can assume) feed off those respective themes. It'd certainly be interesting to look at. The way I'd want to see the team up, however, is for the two to be completely mis-matched, out-of-sync, and essentially only staying together to fulfill their motives, much like an episode of one of my favorite cartoons ("My Life as a Teenage Robot"), in which the past villains team up, and are clearly capable of defeating anyone, but allow themselves to be defeated thanks to their bickering in the most crucial of moments to defeat their common foe. ...but long story short, I'd be interested in seeing something like this.
