  1. Hey everypony! Since my fiance left for basic training I have been bored somewhat, and I was thinking of doing a cover from MLP every week or twice a week. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about this? I just was planning on finding an instrumental and then timing my voice to it. But I also would like to do songs that have several ponies and a chorus with help from YOU!

    so is anyone up to the project? or helping a pony that loves to sing out? :D

  2. No. First off, to say that they lacked those traits is to make the characters one dimension and without any proper psychology. Discord simply brought out the parts of them that were unharmonious. Pinkie Pie does have anti-social issues. She has a fear of rejection. If you have ever met a person who suffers from depression and manifests it through having an extremely happy and very social character then you would better understand Pinkie Pie. For Pinkie Pie she tries, she tries really hard to get people to like her even when what she is doing is the exact oppostie (as with Doodle) because she fears rejection and loneliness. Every pony in the series has a strong character development because they have real psychologies with real positive and negative traits. This is what makes them who they are.

    I'm not calling them one-dimensional, of course everypony has flaws. My example with Pinkie was a poor one, I admit. But what of the other ponies? They are the Elements of Harmony for a reason, they are the epitome of certain aspects of goodness, to have a latent opposite within them is almost unfathomable. Apple Jack is the epitome of honesty, she was forced a trait of dishonesty. Fluttershy is the epitome of kindness, you never see her wishing harm on others, she was forced a trait of hurting others.

  3. I just want to point out that the ponies under Discord's spell were not aware that they were under a reverie. When Rainbow Dash is brought back to her normal self, she asks what happened to her. She has no memory of what she had done in her Discorded state. Thus, ponies were not necessarily miserable, but their personalities were possessed with a predetermined personality that Discord force-manipulated into them. None of the mane six had latent bad personality traits that could be manipulated. Pinkie Pie doesn't have latent anti-social abilities. Yes, she became anti-social once in the show, when she believed that she didn't have her friends anymore, but as you know, Pinkie's whole life is making people happy and being a good friend.

    So, my argument is that the ponies never had those personality traits to begin with and that they were manipulated into their minds by Discord. Basically think of their bodies being possessed with an alternate being that is opposite of them in nature. And also, when someone is possessed, they have no memory of ever being possessed.

  4. Wow I can see a lot of parallels. The greetings, the playful attitude, the outlook on life, the desire to make others happy, making the most of depressing situations, etc. That rock farm was severely depressing too, which I hate to compare to Guido's situation, but I can't get it out of my mind.

    Also, I finally thought of a foreign animated movie! From France comes "Persopolis" which is about growing up in Iran during the revolution. It is a roller coaster ride, and the ending is very sad. However, I found it completely fascinating, and the main character is wonderful. It was so easy to empathize with her. To feel her pain, and to want her to find her way. It is a very well done film, in an very aesthetic style.

    Persepolis is based on the comic books of the same name, the comics are excellent. ^__^
