    MLP Zaku

    Nah, not modifying the actual model, just a paintjob in a pony theme. And AJ sounds like a pretty solid idea. Simple color scheme for my meh painting skills.

    Perhaps Saddle Arabia has camels as the dominant species?

    That is indeed true. But how far can the changes go before we become unrecognizable? I'm not denying it, its just that there comes a point where the changes supercede the original personality traits, and the original personality is gone. Though with the quality of writers FIM has, I doubt we would ever see that happen. But progress for progress' sake is detrimental to a character. That doesnt mean that they have to stop learning though. You can continue to gather experience and knowledge to create tools to use following your personality, that is an endless process.

    To an extent, yes. Though sacrifice might not be the right word. Your faults are part of who you are. Take them away, and you're no longer the same person. Similar, perhaps, but not the same. Some faults can be changed a bit, like Dashie's growth in MMDW, but if you compare her to the dashie of season 1, shes not quite the same pony. Yes, she changed for the better, but she can only change so much before she's no longer the dashie we love and remember. Or for instance, Fluttershy. Progress her out of her shy, quiet, timidness, and you're stuck with a pony who looks like fluttershy, and still loves animals, but she just isnt fluttershy. She wouldnt interact the same, and it would be glaringly obvious that it wasnt fluttershy.

    Huh. I thought I was overlooking something. Thanks!

    Is there a way to tell if I have posted in a thread before, without having to go through pages of posts on either my profile, or the thread itself? I have a poor memory, so I can't tell if I've been in a thread or not unless I check it page by page for my posts. Or am I just missing something that's blindingly obvious?

    ...to be the official reason for this: Nah, It's because of ponies like twilight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqsdzRti9x8 Pinkie has mastered the technique Other ponies? Not so much.
  8. DrMaxwell
    Imo: Twi->RD->Fluttershy->Pinkie->Rarity->AJ. Twilight definitely still has a long way to go, though. They cant develop too much though, else they'll lose their personalities. And people keep saying angel went from mean to nice, but angel has been on fluttershy's side from the beginning, starting with ticket master. He pushed her to try for something she really wanted. Yeah, hes a spoiled brat(to put it mildly) sometimes, but he's got his itty bitty rabbit heart in the right place sometimes.

    I dont see trixie as a con-mare. Sure, shes an antagonist simply because shes a loudmouth, but her boasting that she's the greatest is just part of the show. Ponies are more likely to watch somepony that is 'great and powerful' over somepony that is simply 'very skilled'. I dont think she should have bragged about the ursa major, but it probably would have gone uncontested anyhow if it werent for the infinite genius that is snips and snails. Despite her boasting, I think she most likely puts on an honest show to entertain the ponies, so long as she isnt challenged. She would be a great showmare if she bragged less. As for the original question, she wasnt homeless, then ursa made her homeless, but she obviously has some magical skill, so she probably fixed her wagon and continued on her way to los pegasus to wow the west coast ponies.

    It's really hit and miss it seems, I've seen blind bags in one walmart and toys r us, but not in the other ones in the same town. I'm guessing its completely random which stores they get sent to. But now Ima have to check my local CVS for them.

    I think that both the elements and the ponies affect the result upon their use. It's my thought that perhaps celestia banished luna because she was either panicked, desperate, or inexperienced (it seems like nightmare moon rose rather early in their reign), and did not stop to think that maybe she can be saved. Whereas twilight seems to have wanted to help luna, and thus reverted her back to good instead of banishing her. Of course I could be completely wrong. Also, I wonder if ponies are the only group that can use the elements? If so, does that mean they're some sort of ancient pony artifact?

    I dont remember where, but I read somewhere that hasbro only had issues with the 1080p episodes on youtube, and the rest was just free advertising. My mistake, upon further searching, it seems hasbro has been cracking down hard on sites and youtube both. Perhaps it's because they plan a dvd release soon? Anywho, youtube links are no longer liked by hasbro.

    I wonder if Twilight is from a family line of extraordinary unicorn magicians or something. Maybe she's related to Starswirl the Bearded?

    Derpy is in a cup of grey paint, marinating. Also, he stuck his paint smeared glove fingers in his mouth. Blech.

    Dont get me wrong, I love bacon, but that right there just makes me feel ill. So much grease.... Definitely omnivore. Though I'm not very fond of leafy veggies, unless it's a really dry leaf, like spinach. I like most fruits, and except for bacon, Im not fond of pork. Btw, when you come across the hipster political type vegans, tell them your favorite food is lamb. Drives em nuts.

    There is a species of octopus that walks around on two legs.

    Maybe Dashie doing a sonic rainboom?

    Cadence was her foal-sitter before she became celestia's protoge, her flashbacks show her playing with cadence before she had a cutie mark. We dont really know what role twilight's parents play in canterlot, for all we know they could be important people in court, or something. Would explain why her brother was a shoe-in for the royal guard, why twilight got such attention from the royalty, and why she was able to be enrolled in the school for gifted unicorns, when she clearly didnt show any gifts until the rainboom.(Though we dont know how exclusive the school is, or if anyone can apply) Thats what season 3 needs, more background story on the mane 6. I wanna know all about twilight's super family.
  19. DrMaxwell
    Imo, nobody pays attention to the magic colors, it's just kind of a background thing.

    I cant confirm/deny that it's just you, but I dont really feel that way. Then again, I got into the show somewhere around last december, so I missed a lot of the fanbase. But to me, it's more about the show than the fan content, though I do enjoy the fan musics. And if the s2 finale is something they can create without faust, then I am genuinely looking forward to season 3, and have no doubts that we will continue to see the same quality that we have had so far. While the nods to the fandom have been nice, why do we need them at all? Yeah, its a mark of appreciation, but the show would not degrade in quality were they not included. I doubt they'll stop putting in references to older movies, tv, etc, either. And friendship is a massive ocean, there is plenty for them to work with. And if this is as good as it gets, who says it has to get worse? Why cant it just stay at this level of quality?
  21. DrMaxwell
    It's not that he's more important, its more like the prestige has been doubled.

    Cadence's magic color is an aqua blue color. She be pink.

    according to wikipedia, changelings are the offspring of a troll, elf, fairy, etc that is left in the place of a human infant, for various reasons depending on the culture. Opened iron scissors in the infant's resting area was thought to ward off the fairies/trolls/etc. Because they be trollin'.
  24. DrMaxwell
    Could they have evolved alongside the original alicorn tribes, then somehow been blocked access from them for a few millenia, so the three tribes evolved seperately from each other while the changelings retained the traits of their original targets? Also, is there any relation between windigos and changelings? They both feed off pony emotions. If alicorns have control of spheres of magic, hence tia(sun), luna(moon), cadence(love), could the changelings be a sort of corrupted alicorn species that once had magic over love, but grew dark and twisted, and ended up absorbing and feeding off it instead? Gah, these changelings raise so many questions!
  25. DrMaxwell
    The changelings might also be a predator species that evolved alongside the ponies, and their similar shape could just make it easier to mimic them/blend into their society.
