  1. Countries!

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    From the USA. Open my front door and all you see is corn. Open the back and it's beans to the horizon.... *sigh* :sniff:

    Never been to another country, but want to go somewhere that actually has a deep history/culture.

    As far as refuting, even in the US there is a lack of understanding at how huge and diverse the USA is compared to most other countries. I've traveled a little bit and even being in country I've been to whole other worlds here.

  3. The Difference Between Colt, Stallion, Filly, etc.

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    I think of colt being a boy and fily being a girl just like a mare means woman and a stallion means a man.

    Now a pony can use colt for example as a derrogitory term like "Stop acting like a silly colt and be a stallion!"

    Also Filly and colt can be a generic term like "fillies and gentlecolts." ("Ladies and Gentlemen") This is to imply that the announcement is for all regardless of age where as something like "mares and stallions," might indicate an announcement might be for older ponies.

    Also you have coltfriend and fillyfriend (boyfriend/ girlfriend).

    All about semantics really.

    Ditto

    And that word "semantics" keeps coming up lately!

    Try reading the web with Ponify turned on. It will cause brain damage after long term use.

  5. It's "pegacorn."

    Were there ponies that had wings AND horns prior to G4? What were they called back then? Do any of the packages of princess ponies have a type on them?

    The collectible trading cards list the type for each pony. The Princesses are listed as unicorns and pegasus, but earth pony isn't highlighted.

  7. WORST Ships...

    in Pony Chatter

    Posted · Edited by Kendrick

    Raridash? No thanks! Applejack is by far the best ship for Rarity.

    They are the only two we have seen in bed together on screen....

    (I shouldn't have gone there should I....)

    For me any CMC ships are just wrong. Wrong.

    Edit to note that for whatever reason when I clicked on this I didn't see any more than the first page, didn't know I was doing a zombie-ish reply. :P

    Have we ever seen 'mature' themes from this show?

    I don't know about themes, but the style of the show I would consider more "mature" than a lot of other shows. Especially ones targeted at kids.

    A lot of the humor is subtle and nuanced, with a lot going on in subtext. This beats the "beat-you-over-the-head" style a lot of shows use.

    There are a ton of little things going on in the background that add to the flavor of the story. For me little things like Twilight going "Please tell me she's not," when Pinkie Pie started singing "Giggle at the Ghostie" add a ton to the show that you don't always see in kid's shows.

  12. Inconsistant Rarity

    in Pony Chatter

    Posted

    So I am writing a fan fic over on FimFiction (Shameless Plug) and found writing for Rarity very hard. I even went so far as to spend a lot of the evening looking at Rarity clips on YouTube trying to "find" her character. Everypony else seems to have some baseline that I felt I could work from without being too trope with them.

    Rarity on the other hand is all over the map. And I personally feel like there is a big difference between S1 Rarity and S2 Rarity. Her dramatics and style are consistent, but it feels like her moral compass is spinning wildly.

    Is this just me or does anypony else see this?

    I know that Rarity had a solid following. Can somepony point out some solid ground with her for me?

    :)

    Here's an very positive article on Wired.com "In Defense Of Bronies".

    Thanks for sharing that article!

    Sorry to bring an old topic back to life..Couldn't find any other topics that would fit..

    A Professional Assessment of Twilight Sparkle as a Librarian

    OK, that was a great, funny read. :D

  16. My first fanfic

    in Writing Discussion

    Posted

    Posted it last night. Probably do another one in a day or two.

    I don't think I'm happy with Rarity. I couldn't keep her from seeming... off.

    Trying to get a baseline for her, even going so far as to get on YouTube and watch clips. Her reactions are just so all over the map that I can't pin down what she would do. There seems to be a huge variation between Rarity in S1 and in S2 a lot of the time too. *sigh* I may make a thread on her to see if it's just me.

  17. FiM items (which stores to get them in)

    in Friendship is Magic Series

    Posted

    While we were out I hit a Wal-Mart in a nearby town looking for more cards, which I found. (Yay! but I keep getting the same cards a lot...boo)

    They had the plush dolls. Debated getting a Twilight. They had a lot of slots for the mini-sets, but non there. I wonder if they were out or not stocked yet.

    They also had blue blind-bags with the mettallic/gem ponies. So those have hit central Illinois. This is the first time I have seen ones other than the wave-1 bags. Too bad I don't want that style. :blah:

  19. My first fanfic

    in Writing Discussion

    Posted

    Just added a new chapter. 9 so far. I have the "base" chapters for everyone but Fluttershy done. I hope I'm doing the Mane 6 characters justice. I expected Rarity to be the hardest but she didn't seem to be (if I got her right). Applejack still holds the lead by a wide margin of having been the hardest to write for. Fluttershy may be a challenge too. She is so often subject to stereotyping.

    We'll see. I hope the ponies tell me where this is heading soon!

  20. FiM items (which stores to get them in)

    I went looking for cards in our local Wal-Marts again. Both have had empty boxes on the shelf for over a week! :x

    They had the mini 3-packs in though. The Apple family packs looked good, though I doubt I get that one. The wedding set was the only other one they had. All I can say is, "What the HAY!" The color for Cadance is horrible-horrible-horrible! If she had been the color of the big Celestia I would have grabbed a set. But she is a deep neon purple. Um, no. How is it they get the colors right on everypony else but they can hit a Princess at all? GGGGRRRRR.

  23. My Little Pony, tattoos are forever !

    in Pony Chatter

    Posted

    Never had the intention of getting a tattoo. I just see no point in them.

    And unfortunately, Pony won't sway my opinion. Just a VERY big life decision that I may regret at some point later in life that I'm not willing to make... :smug:

    I can't say I disagree with you. In general I understood people like military folks that got unit insignias or branch arms done. That is a life defining thing for a lot of people and I respect that. The kindergartener like skulls and what-not I've seen people I know get however. :green:

    (I used to work with a guy that got a tat and found out later it was a gang sign and had horrible-botched removal surgery that left him looking like a farm accident victim.)

    But I am finding that as I get older I'm less opposed to the idea rather than more. Maybe it's because I won't have as long to regret it as I did when I was younger.
