Extra points for comment going so well with 'slightly suggestive' Pinkie Pie.

When you start mixing Equestria with your other fiction as you're reading/watching it (Off the cuff I've thought about 'what if' Equestrian magic worked as in Shadowrun, Name of the Wind, Graceling, Unknown Armies, D&D/Pathfinder, Dragon Age and then other 'mana pool' type magics) When you think it will be a funny game to change your pony desktop every time your significant other rolls their eyes at ponies (which sets up an interesting loop sometimes) When you try to have a forum conversation using only pony quotes (Doesn't count if you end up following an actual in episode conversation) When you look forward, (e.g. while at work/school), to new cute pics being posted when you log onto a picture board/thread. (Others I have noticed in me have already been said so will leave those.) EDIT:- when you mute the Olympics because you are on the phone, synchronised swimming comes on and the sea pony song is all you can think of to go with it.

Hush little filly, you sleep tight, Slenderpony watches you at night, if he thinks that you're not good, he'll whisk you away to the Everfree wood... Haven't had any weird sleeps lately but went through a phase of waking up with my head at the foot of the bed without realising I had turned round. The classic of your mind working the alarm into your dream as you are waking. Ones I can remember, in the dream, are: the alarm being on TV, the alarm being a fire alarm and running for a couple of (dream) seconds and the alarm being a weird siren (I remember looking around for the ambulance in the dream) Oh and as a child falling in the dream as I fell out of the top bunk.

Become best friends with Princess Luna. Huzzah! We can be off doing best friends stuff next time Canterlot is invaded!

I am fortunate enough that none of my friends are blatantly anti-brony, I have also known most of them a good long time so we are used to each others differences and tend not to judge each other. I don't have any (admitted) brony friends however. I have taken to wearing my muffin and Derpy/Ditzy bubbles badges in public more and have yet to receive any positive or negative recognition from others.

I'll go with Celestia for the sheer originality of it the first time I saw it! If I cannot choose godlike hair then I will go with filly Rainbow Dash. Also if I can choose 'circumstantial' hair, Twilights morning hair (e.g. Bridle Gossip) EDIT:- I R GUD SPELLUR

Awww, don't feel bad! Is my own silly fault for taking 18 months or so to have a proper look for UK bronies & cons!

Ultra pony roller derby training montage GO! Also unicorn-magical training montage GO!

*Applejack voice* So webshop you say...Ahem, hint, hint...webshop...

Ursa minor is 6 ponies high at shoulder (on 4 legs and based on image of Trixie standing in front) Maybe twice that on hind legs, (based on relation to a house) Ursa major is 9 'at shoulder' Ursa minors (54 ponies) tall while sat slightly hunched and cradling its baby. Then maybe 4 for hind leg length, minus one for hip joint, plus one again for standing up straight/looking fierce... means a speculative rearing height of 13 'at shoulder' Ursa minors or 78 ponies! (...and that's terrible). With Trixie standing on top yelling down... :!: Oh, how I wish I had any artistic ability at all.... Also, in case it wasn't clear, I would love to see such an episode! Edited to make slightly clearer.

Know that feel brony... Standard ticket and no shirt for me either....

After five minutes on Google exhaustive research into the idea of 'Scuba Derpy' it seems forums were discussing Ditzy/Derpy being a diver quite early in season one! (I don't remember the date I started watching but probably way before I even started noticing peoples pony avatars). I'm also now sitting here with Dr Derpy/Ditzy being a marine biologist and ambassador to the sea ponies and as head-canon is second best canon I am happy with this

So much to whet the appetite! Crystal poinies as an additional civilisation. Will the talk of their history bring us a little more Equestrian history? Another baddie? Maybe the armoured guards will be able to do something this season Whip 'em into shape Shining Armour! Oh sweet Celestia, a couple dozen different fantasy and Sci-fi settings are currently warring in by brain trying to establish themselves as head-canon

As we are discussing meets and so on, I'll just place this here. Apologies if it is old news. UK Con

You're welcome but I can't claim credit for that, it may have been bandied about before but I heard of that idea after the Cutie pox episode aired. There is a pony wearing a snorkel mask with a three bubble cutie mark in Twilights book 'Perplexing Pony plagues'. I can't tell if it is a pegasus or a manestyle in the picture though... Also ski pony is super cute!

UK resident here, Leicestershire area!

Trixie is likely to return? I can take or leave a lot of the fanon but this fills me with gladness. Pointy hats and capes all round! Also more Luna? Huzzah! Also more ponies is always good can't wait to see how their delightful civilisation continues.

I like to think that cutie marks don't have to relate to your job but are simply what a pony has a talent/knack for. As in real life, some ponies are lucky and can make their talent directly relate to their job, Twilight & AJ for instance. Others are able to turn their talent to help with their job, Rarity uses her gem finding to aid with fashion, Fluttershy uses her ability with animals to work as a vet (in an animal sanctuary?) and Pinkie using talent for parties to drum up cake business (unless she works as a party organiser, we've only seen her organise parties for friends but what pony wouldn't enjoy a Pinkie party? Unicorns don't count because they're snobs ) Then there are those who have to have a job to earn the bits and their talent is their hobby, like RD who works with weather but enjoys speed in her spare time. (Or Ditzy/Derpy who works as a mailmare but enjoys scuba diving in her spare time.) It could also be argued that RD wants to turn her talent into her job so she can work at something she enjoys, namely joining the Wonderbolts. (Poor Derpy/Ditzy desperately wants to be a marine biologist....Sigh, one day....) Note: See inside brackets for MAHOOSIVE headcanon...

Personal Party Paraphernalia Placement Projector Party Cannons & Physics: Keeping it light! Hmmmm, According to the book I need some dried rainbow's glow, plenty of streamer wadding and 'the projectile of my choice*'. Uuuuuh, Oh! '*May include, but is not limited to, complete table arrangements, scrolls, muffins and Pinkie Pies' There is some confusion and much page-turning as the unicorn gathers some jars and boxes beside the device before shifting them slightly back when it looks as if they will fall overboard. The cannon is soon filled with shimmering dust, bright pieces of paper in a variety of sizes and shapes then topped with a barrel of the top notch cider. Aiming slightly ahead of the break room window and trying not to get too distracted by a hopping paro-gator Curiosity finally seems satisfied and moves into position. A few moments hesitation which includes mutterings of whether it matters if it was sun-dried or hearth-dried rainbow's glow used in the device then, 'Ahem...AVAST!' With a cloud of multi-coloured smoke, a spray of streamers and the sound of a dozen party horns the first barrel is away!

I made sure to bring some barrels of rum cider with us too. I got it at a steal from these two unicorns who'd set up a stall on the road to the balloon-port. Fling and Flan or somesuch.... It's in the hold if you feel like a drink!

*Pinkie Pie voice* 'Please come to England....Please come to England.....' 'Luna is Lankiest Pony...Also Best Pony' Makes me smile!

I may be a little late for this but may I be put down to join? I am back into a minecraft phase it seems.... Minecraft name - Serioli Forum name - Lerian. EDIT:- Doubtless been tried but noticed in single player that 'Equestria' as a seed brings up a pretty nice start point, near a lake with a lava vent nearby and some easily flattened farming land for an initial setup.

I hope Trixie makes a return! Whether as a 'villain' again or making reprisals I don't mind... I just really like her hat!

Wow, that was a pretty good summary! To the point, covered a bit of the history and an explanation for the uninitiated, also nice and positive without being condescending or TOO positive. (We've all seen reports that have done that!) Thumbs up CNN

Pinkie Pie-rate! Also Gummi parrot is pretty sweet too... With much time off next week I look forward to this a great deal. *checks compass for ADVENTURE!*
