  1. There. I successfully cured you of your fear of Slender and the Slenderman You're welcome.
  2. I admit to being a bad pony and I have NOT read the books... However, I DO love the series! I agree that this season has been lackluster in comparison to the last few, but I certainly still admire the work that goes into the plot at this point, seeing as I've researched it and discovered this season has little to nothing to do with the books. I love the series most for how congruent the writers keep the story arcs. They all begin and end with perfect development and closure throughout the season, and they continuously cross with others without rupturing each other. It's a fine job of writing, and feels more like a movie if it were edited together like so.
  3. I was able to pick up the last two Wal-Mart posters today! By the way, you simply have to ask if you can have the posters without a purchase of MLP stuff. It seems that they're simply giving them away at this point, so have at it friends!
  4. I'll be perfectly honest by saying that no one except the original troll who created this is at fault here. People spammed because they thought it was legitimate. Can't blame a fool for being fooled.
  5. I didn't even know it was possible to steal a wall. How didn't you notice that your wall has been missing, Chillz?
  6. HA, I TOLD YOU CHILLZ! ...Ahem....excuse that gloating. Just felt that was...needed.
  7. Not ashamed to admit that I fully fell for this...
  8. (Did anypony else get their first taste of this show from that edited-in Slenderman image from a few months ago from a screenshot of the show?) I personally haven't watched this show yet, but I REALLY want to. I'm hearing a ton of good things about it, and considering it's Disney Channel, I'd love to support a GOOD Disney Channel show!
  9. This would be correct. Was just told yesterday from one of my other friends in town that he just walked in, grabbed all four, and the cashier let him just have them for free. Which means next time I go to Wal-Mart, I have nabbing to do...xD

    Slenderman

    Ah, Slendy....what experiences I've had with him. I got into the Marble Hornets series about 2-3 years ago, before it gained huge notoriety... *Hipster glasses* But now the kids in my school are acting like they're so cool for knowing who the Slender Man is, when he's existed LONGER than Marble Hornets has. He actually originated on the "Something Awful" site. Nobody knows that, however, because Marble Hornets really got it into the mainstream. I love the whole mythos surrounding Slender Man, whether it be absolutely terrifying or hilarious. I also like to think that Slender Man inspired The Silence from Doctor Who....a little too much coincidence between the two.
  11. I find myself loving the background ponies' cutie marks because they are the most interesting to look at. Some are intricate, some are simple, some are just jokes in themselves. You could make a whole game out of it if you wanted to! Personally, best Cutie Mark is Pinkie's. After all, Pinkie Pie IS Best Pony...
  12. I can understand that frustration. After all: Luna is a Goddess-like Princess figure, likely hundreds of thousands of years old. Pipsqueak is only a few years old. I don't see how any Brony of any sort of sane or insane state could write that with good intentions.
  13. I tend to find that I don't include Rarity often in fics. I can agree she's most complex, as her highs and lows come in diversity, and her goals are always changing. Her character is hard to peg, and when writing fanfiction you need to have a definitive character to write for, or else you're firing darts randomly at a board when writing a character. I personally think the best course of action is to perhaps watch Rarity episodes, like "Sweet and Elite", "Suited for Success" and "Sisterhooves Social", and take notes of her complexity of character. Doing so, you'll realize what you know will work and won't for her character. Dialogue will be challenging, but more often than not it's about basing what you know about the character and how they would react. It's tough, but sometimes you just need to sit down and study a character before you can write for them. When I was a huge fan of the film "Rio", I had to see the film FIVE TIMES in theaters to fully appreciate and pin the characters down for fanfiction I was writing. Believe it or not, I'm now considered one of the best writers of that particular fandom (Not meaning to toot my horn, simply stating that it DOES work). You just need to take notes, and eventually the character will come into full view.
  14. That's what I immediately checked and noticed. I'm thinking this spider will be in Season 3 sometime. Hoping for some Nightmare Fuel to come along with it, because FiM needs some of that to be 100% nostalgic. Because let's be honest, the only reason you remember "The Brave Little Toaster" is because of this scene:
  15. My dashing assistant Hayden and I trekked to Wal-Mart today, and discovered...THE POSTERS! I was able to nab the Season 2 cast poster and the "Chaos is Magic" poster, along with a blind bag and the Canterlot Wedding DVD! I'm quite content with our haul! I do advise that the quality of the DVD is about the same as the Friendship Express DVD. I honestly think it'd be more worth it to just buy an all-Region DVD player and get the Madman Brony Box. As for the posters...SUPER HAPPY! I will also warn that they WILL NOT let you take them on their own, nor will they let you get four by buying one pony item. You can only get one poster for free per pony merchandise purchase. Anything, like a DVD, Blind Bag or toy counts, so stock your wallets if you intend to get all four...they are WELL worth it, however. EDIT: 500 posts! Hope to triple that in the coming months! I love this site and will never leave!
  16. The return of Slender Bunnies? I like that... The dog-like thing has been confirmed as an unused version of the Sapphire Stone that was real, but the spider has not. Hopefully the spider will remain as a villain of some sort, or at least a creature, because that's very sleek design for the show...
  17. I agree with this state of confusion. My Hot Topic about 10 minutes from me is FULL of pony stuff. I can't glance anywhere without seeing it at mine! Also, anypony in the tri-state area, WAL-MART PONY POSTERS ARE NOW IN-STOCK!
