Okay this computer sucks and it's glitching.... >_<

Who throws that last pie? Since it's all up now I thought I could finally ask.

It doesn't show who throw it, it was part of the side barrage.

Also we learned that Buffalo does not like Pinky's singing, and I did not expect Pinky (or any pony) to appear in an outfit like that on the show.

I am not sure where I place the episode; it wasn't as good as the previous two, but it wasn't bad either and genuinely funny. Glad they steered clear of stereotyping the Buffalo and the Applossians. Plus, I am personally happy it was an AJ episode, well sort of, she wasn't really a focus (want more AJ!).

Any input? I'd reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally appreciate it.

@brianblackberry: she wasn't the one who created the character, but it is a neat design nonetheless.

Well I don't think there are too many musical ponies yet, and besides, who says we can't have multiple bands for a concert. I say go for it.

Awesome! Please tell me there'll be a team up with Ziggy DiamondDust.

Wow, a Diamond Dog; first one I have seen and its a really cool, interesting character too! Good job.

Oh my goodness I'm making a buffalo character now! And I love Brayburn now.

I was wondering if people were going to ask about Buffalo characters,

Yeah, Brayburn is a fun character to watch.

It will get it's place on the map. West side on the plains that meets the desert just between the rocky points.

Just what I was thinking. I went I get home Weds. I open up the working file of the map and put it on there. :3

Coolness, now I am rather curious to visit it.

Applejack sure does have some motherly instincts. Also she looked so adorable hugging that tree.

Now I wonder, do we need to add Applossia to the map?

Champ would be such a pushover with the right filly.

We suspect he has a secret Sweetie Belle crush.

I feel very single listening to all of this,

So, as you might have guessed, I'm a fan of the original My Little Pony. Draggle truly was more like me than any other fictional character in '86 and admittedly, the original series will always be my favorite. That said, Friendship is Magic is the best thing to happen to the pony franchise since its beginnings, and I love how popular it has gotten. I found this forum by accident by finding the IRC chat by accident, and I hope to stick around.

In real life business, besides being Draggle twenty-five years after riding the smooze on a boob ship and dirtying up Flutter Valley, I'm a married mother of five and a teaching assistant. I don't act my age, by the way. There is nothing intimidating about me, no matter my old fart status and no matter how much I type (which can be a lot).

Welcome to the forum! It was nice to meet you in the chat. I hope you have a blast here, and I don't "act my age" often when it comes to stuff like this either.

what happened to that picture of foto where you can see twi's cutie mark on her butt? I know I saw it in here at some point but now it's gone

they used twi's model for foto and forgot to take her cutie mark off!

Yeah I remember someone mentioning that to Faust, and she just stated it was a mistake, same with Sapphire Shores not having one in the previous episode (originally they didn't have any storyboard shots where it would show, so it was never made).

What you wrote is a very good and thorough analysis of the episode, bravo! I cannot disagree with your definitions because they are most certainly correct.

So in Feeling Pinkie Keen we have an observable phenomenon that has a very reliable outcome. A Theory for how it works is NOT necessary for the descriptive observations to be accurate.

This is true, my concern is it may lead to the conclusion for some that there is no plausible explanation (it is supernatural), which is alright in Equestria, a land of magic, I just worry that it may wrongly lead to that same conclusion for the real universe. I suppose it all depends on how the parents interpret it and then explain their views to the children. Your view is spot on, I just worry that various anti-science bias in the adult audience may lead to the opposite conclusion; again though, this isn't the episode's fault.

So, we're all MLP fans here, we're unashamed of our love... but how do you tentatively probe RL to see if there's any kindred spirits out there?

For instance, at work the other day, someone brought in cupcakes. I took one of them, enjoyed them, thanked them for the cupcakes, and then said, "Could use some hot sauce." Just passed it off as a joke when they didn't catch the reference.

And, of course, "20% cooler" is a sure-fire code-word.

A lot of it I have done through places like FA, because I can toss up an icon and people will respond accordingly. Discovered several friends who were active fans of the series.

20% cooler works well for real life situations, because people who don't watch the show will chuckle just because it sounds funny while bronies will instantly understand (and hopefully respond accordingly).

A story:

A father is surfing the internet while his 7 year old daughter watches television. He finds this article confirming the second season of MLPFiM. He walks over to his daughter and says, "Hey, they are making more episodes of that pony cartoon you like."

His daughter shrieks, "Yay, I love that show. I'm so glad they are making more of it. Isn't that great dad!?"

Her dad shrugs, "hehe, yeah, it's great, i guess..." He walks into his bedroom out of sight and sound of his daughter and closes the door. He continues by jumping up and down and shouting at the top of his lungs, "YES!!!! They are making more episodes!!!"

He opens his underwear drawer and pulls out his hidden Twilight Sparkle doll and begins brushing her hair. "You hear that, Twi? We're gooing to have MORE adventures!"

I don't know if this is based on a real story or not, but I did love it none the less. That would see so me, publicly going "hey, I guess that is cool, we need more good cartoons", and later back in bedroom snugging my Applejack figure going "yay!", but not the normal Flutershy yay, the Flutershy when she saw the Sonic Rainboom yay!.

But I heard it might not be couple until December!

that is when production ends, the episodes may start before this though.

Well it now looks like Season 2 for Friendship Is Magic is 100% confirmed, with 24 episodes planned. This is stated by Top Draw, the studio who produces the animation for the episodes. Many of you may have already read this on Equestria Daily, but if not, here is the link to the story.

If FiM is shown on Cartoon Show, it will of course is in addition to the Hub and likely receive the episodes a week later (much like Adult Swim has new Family Guy and American Dad a week after they air on Fox). However, if it happens, it will be during the normal daytime hours with the other kid focused shows and not on Adult Swim.

Adult Swim is for shows specifically designed for adult audiences, with a focus on surreal, dirty, and absurdist humor, and FiM, despite its huge adult fanbase, does not fall into that sort of programming. Hasbro views FiM as a show for young girls and for selling toys to that same demographic. As Tremaine pointed out above, adult toy collectors are just a niche market and not large enough for companies like Hasbro to refocus from the much larger current target audience. Because of these reasons, Hasbro will want to avoid Adult Swim because it may only hurt the brand and not help it in any significant manner.

PonyChan (OMG, such a freaking awesome place. It is possibly the most awesome place on the Internet. I'm "Heartmend" there.

One more reason to finish that pic! Then you can use the image and show as well if you like.

tl;dr version: I guess you could say I used a really ghetto straw method, plus a hairdryer.

edit:

That is still amazing, I don't think I could do that even after reading how you did it. Came out great!

I think there's like four levels. I beat it on Rainbow Dash in like 20 minutes.

Annnd, here is another one; help Rainbow Dash break up clouds, be careful not to run right into storm clouds..or Derpy!

hi hi

Does anyone else think that Rarity's rejected outfit was actually kinda neat? (the white suit with blue bits)

Looked a bit strange on Fluttershy, as if she was being dressed for some Seventies concert

I didn't like how the stock Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash looked out of the box, so I cut/styled their hair in an attempt to make them look a little more like their cartoon counterparts. What do you think? If I am still feeling this adventurous when I get my Rarity, I'm going to try curling her hair with the soda straw method.

Man I wish I knew how you did that because I would love to (although as a dude, I'd probably suck at it), although I am pretty satisfied with the out of the box Applejack I got as a gift (and of course my custom Derpy ). At worst, I still have McD ones for the others. Yours though look really well, probably as close to the show as one can get.

I want the Derpy sketch so bad! It will probably go for hundreds of dollars though.

I am hearing a minimum of $75 for the images, so that wouldn't be a surprise at all.

Sadly too expensive for me, and I would have really wanted the AJ one.

Applejack - A friend (and fellow bronie) bought me one as a gift from target.

Derpy - Really nice custom one I got in a trade for a color commission.

Whoa, how did you get a custom ponys? i would love to have Lyra and Bonbon XD

This is who made the custom Derpy, you can likely inquire if they be willing to create others.

This outfit (from Episode 1) was declared 'Too Frilly' for Twilight by Rarity. But apparently, it's just Frilly Enough for Rainbow Dash.

You know she probably lost some bet.
