  1. Great to hear! It's always nice to see people trying to best to contribute their own efforts into the fandom even if they can't do as much of the artsy stuff... I know how it is, hehe... But yeah, there is plenty to look at when you review a show. Are you just doing written reviews or do you do video reviews? Video reviews are more visually appealing and catches the attention of the audience more. There's plenty to criticize and praise about the show, and many of it's episodes are not as good as others. But when you review an episode be sure to explain what happens in the show, give a brief explanation of how everything goes and make commentary as you go before finishing up with a full review. it gives the viewer a recap on what happened in the episode, you bring up points as they come up in the show itself, and then you polish it up with your final thoughts at the end on the episode as a whole. If you'd like any help i'd be happy to assist in any way, i always love helping out people ^_^
  2. I'm guessing she's more of a con-mare... Yes, puns are required in 10% of my posts and i've been slacking lately... Anyway, she does a lot of showing off, bragging, etc, getting some lackies to buy her stuff and praise her so that she doesnt have to waste what little money her show brings in... then she moves on before anyone can challenge her properly. she chooses to live in her cart/trailer thing because it's easier to earn money that way rather than staying in one town, learning NEW tricks and paying rent... so yeah...
  3. Awww snap, you win... although i can't for the life of me recall which episode that was...
  4. Rose, i love you, but you have to understand *dramatic shoulder grab, camera slowly pans closer to Foxy's face as he monologues** There are some thing in this world that just have to die... It is the way the world works... to have something that can live forever, for something to walk through the world and watch as those it loves dies around it... can you really say you want that for this thread? no... It WANT'S to die... and we must allow it to do so... it has suffered enough.... I know there's a pop culture reference in here SOMEWHERE!
  5. yeah,but peanuts make dynamite, oil, and snacks... Soooo yeah, basically you can make a variety of things with what you have, so i dont consider this fact disturbing or anything... but anywho, Contribution!
  6. I can only imagine that it would be tough... and colors bleeding into one another would be a messy problem... I recommend you go to a professional and see what they think. This could turn out to be really good or REALLY bad.... As for a look around Dash. And
  7. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DIE! Everything has to die! JUST LET IT DIE!
  8. You ruined my plans! that what you did! It was going according to plan but YOU had to ruin it.
  9. I actually follow a tumblr just for these random tidbits of info! http://did-you-kno.tumblr.com/
  10. Honestly, i dont think it's an homage to Disney in general either. It's just great animation, great characters, great music, great action and adventure and just in general it's GREAT! It's not mimicking or nodding to Disney and what they did right, it's doing all the things right on it's own... Now, yes, i did think of Disney too, but not because of anything Disney did, it just felt like a really well done story with great music, characters and especially the villain. But do we really have to compare it to them every time they make a move? Maybe i'm being a hipster or something, but just because a show has done something right doesn't mean it got it's inspiration from something else that did it right. Take Braid, a critically acclaimed platformer title, with time bending elements. you could say "Oh so it's like Mario mixed with Prince of Persia!" Basically comparing a great game to two other great games simply because they have a few similar elements. I'm sure that the creators wouldnt mind being compared to two big names like that, but rather than being compared to two other great games why not just say that it's great? Same for this, rather than saying it's an homage or a nod to Disney because it does so much well, why dont we just say "Hey, It's really awesome on it's own", we don't need to compare every episode to something from Disney simply because they both did something good. Admire it for what it is and what they have done, not compare it to something else that someone else has done... Think of it like this, Say you do well on a presentation and your teacher says 'Wow! That was really great! That reminds me of Bob's presentation' Then you do a research paper, "Hey this is really good! Y'know Bob did a research paper on the same subject, Your's is just as good as his!" and as the year goes on your work is constantly compared to his. Sure you know bob, and you know bob is good, but you can't help but think "Could you just praise my work without bringing up Bob?" Exactly! It's not a new literary element, it's something very common that's been used for ages. it's a trope that has been used forever, it's not a nod to the movie...
  11. Okay, so just about every brony it seems is comparing the Vanessa's song from the little mermaid to the scene of evil cadence singing in her room. And although it's similar, it's not an homage or anything... And yet i'm seeing these comparisons everywhere... (spoiler for images) It's like saying Tomb Raider is an homage to Super Mario 64, they're both games, both are platformers, but they're not even that closely related... Okay, so they both have a person pretending to be someone else in order to marry a prince, but this is not something that is brand new. it's easily a trope on it's own. Shrek did the same thing but with an evil prince pretending to be Shrek to marry the princess... not to mention The Princess and the frog, and frankly i'm sure it's been done a billion times in lesser known cartoons and shows, so i think it's overdone in general to simply say that The little mermaid is the only possible thing this could've been based off of. "but Ian! They're both singing about their evil plans in a mirror! That's gotta be something!" Okay, well let's see, what do most brides do before a wedding? They stay in their rooms and get ready, including makeup, which requires a mirror to do. and it's tradition for the groom to not see the bride until the wedding and most everyone else too, so they would be alone. So what would an predictably evil person do in that situation? Talk about their evil plans! and if you've got a musical, Why not sing it instead? As for the (brief) bit in the mirror... What are they going to use their animation fund on during a song bit? no one else is around, so why not have a bit in the mirror to add some interesting scenes? Plus, in the mermaid, the mirror shows Ursala her true self, in MLP, it does not, it just shows how she looks.... speaking of the song, MLP's song is a SONG, Vanessa's song is... barely that... it's like 4 lines long, it's a stanza sung to a little tune, not even a full fledged SONG. If you tried to sing that at american idol you'd get kicked off stage for wasting people's time. Yeah, sure, they both show a little violence toward items in the room... but they're evil? Why wouldn't they? So yeah, i just find it annoying when people freak out about "OMG It's just like THIS" when it's clearly just a trope or at least coincidence at best... Here's another point, if i knew nothing about the show, and you showed me the mane six and said they were just like the power rangers, i would say you're silly. a handful of young individuals who are all color coordinated, that's just coincidence, there's nothing relating the two together... HOWEVER, you show me them using the elements of harmony to fire a blast of all powerful energy at the enemy while praising the power of togetherness, than you have a point. If show me Celestia, a wise leader who doesnt really have that much screentime but influences the characters as a mentor, Than i could clearly say that was a Zordon. Then you have the goofy assistant who doesnt normally do much and is often used for comedic relief, Spike and Alpha. Not to mentioned Rita and Nightmare moon, "After 1000 years i'm free to conquer earth! >=D " Hell yeah! You got yourself an entire parody made up right there! in fact after thinking about that i actually found the parody... not surprised. So yeah! this has plenty of relatable notes that could easily be connected and make it hilarious and awesome! it may not be an homage, but it's clearly parody-able... As for ACTUAL homages, the season 2 premiere with the award ceremony, that was obviously an homage to Star wars... they were practically in sync with everyone acting the parts exactly, there is no doubt that was an homage. But anyway, the point being, I'm tired of people making the claims that they're EXACTLY ALIKE when it's clearly just one or two tropes that they happen to have in common... It's silly and a bit annoying that people are making such a big deal out of it...
  12. Thanks for the support! I'll probably make a quick video explaining the basics for advertising purposes... And now that i think about it, this ACTUALLY could be constantly updated... Hell, after its' finished' we could have average joes come in and write their own scenarios to add onto the story so it could potentially grow in size as time goes by!
  13. Yeah! that's exactly what i'm doing as a matter of fact! Something like this. That! Except instead of pages we'd probably number everything so you could just Ctrl F it and go from there.
  14. Well, that's not exactly how i was thinking it. The soldier/guard thing was going to be my story that i'm already working on, the collab thins i dont know the story for, that would be part of what we get together and discuss. I'm thinking it would be focused on a single nameless character that woudl be given dozens of choices, and therefore the reader can put themselves into that character's shoes and BECOME that character through the decision making. but because there may be a lot of decisions to be made, and therefor many branching tales and a LOT of writing i think i'll need some help, and i think it woudl be cool to have plenty of people giving their own spin on how this'll go. As for help, I'd love some! i'm thinking of making a video to advertise and see hwo that works...
  15. She hops, skips, AND jumps into mordor
  16. So i started to write a Choose your own adventure fanfic dealing with the season finale from one of the soldiers perspectives... and i've found that it is going to be a looooong process... Even if the story is short, dealing with all the choices it's going to take a lot of time... But, it gave me a thought on a collaborative effort that we (either people on this board or the net) could do! I'm thinking of taking a general idea (Either a villain, an event, or something) And give the nameless character choices as to where to go and what to do. As choices are added, they are sent off to different people or groups of people to work on bit by bit, slowly adding more and more choices, more and more outcomes and interlocking story arcs. By the end i would hope to make a huge choose your own adventure story in the my little pony universe! my only concern is the quality of the writing being bad because one or two people aren't that good... Or that with so many people the project gets too big to keep track of.... Or that the style of writing would change from person to person and seem strange... or that because one person may have a darker outlook of their choices and another would be mcuh more happy... Although i think that could be dealt with easily enough. when one group finishes their chunk of a story they send it off to another group to check over it and add more outcomes and choices before it goes to print. but anyway, anyone interested in the idea? anyone want to participate? Any advice on how to organize such a project?
  17. *SCREEEEEEECH* WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT IKE??? Seriously, i loved him... he was my favorite in the heavywieght class of SSBB like in y top 3 if i remember right... but in all honesty, to each his own, i've said i dont like some of the MLP characters and got bad responses too, so meh, it's all good. but anyway, Yay! I'm glad =3 If you even want an RP with my character and yours let me know, i bet we'd have a great time =D
  18. Eh, i suppose... Satan probably won't be too happy about it... he was enjoying his screaming coffee table, now he's gonna have to wait for a replacement leg to come about... but he's busy, i'm sure he won't have time to use it... Frankly i think it clashed with the wallpaper, but whatever... Go ahead, see what you can do
  19. But i'm hoping it'll be more fun. we had a BLAST around 1590. took out an ENTIRE colony! although Croatoan, being the idiot that he is, was trying to write "Croatoan was here!" in a tree, but we stopped him before he could give it all away... doofus... oh well, catch up with you later!
  20. SirShadow! Hey! How's it going? Slendy here, yeah, i wish i had known he was your buddy. hehe, I wouldve just driven him to madness forcing him into seclusion if i have know he was a friend of your. small world i guess, Oh well, Hey, me and some of my buds are going hunting next week, you wanna join?
  21. 1: Well, AOL, Halolz, netflix youtube EQD FIMfiction facebook Canterlot, very demotivational and explosm are all sites i visit mutliple times daily 2:Rosewind and a few others seem to be calling me Foxy a lot on here =3 But in real life i'm commented about my height fairly often... "Too Tall" "Jolly Gree Giant" "Six foot Six" etc 3: i only have one, Vulpus... trying to think of another to make. 4: Snips and Snail... blegh... 5: Blue! 6:um... existing this long 7: um, i dont have a favorite... Maybe Case Closed if Manga counts =3 8: uh... Beige with a wooden trimming about waist high?
  22. Are we talking games or TV series? As games, Megaman X was one of my first games ever. Really fun even though i coudl only beat like... 2 bosses... the wind guy and and penguin and that was it, hehe... The original series was a bit too hard for me to enjoy though... The megaman games for the gameboy and DS were okay, they ones where you were on a 6x6 tile floor and fought with cards? yeah, not bad... I think it's that i liek the megaman world, its concept and abilities, but the games themselves are just kinda meh to me...
  23. *screeeeeech* Hold the buck up, What did you say about Rainbow Dash? I KNOW you did not just put her at the bottom of the mane six list. Girl you just started a MAJOR war in the fandom, and i'm gonna have to bust you up for that. I kid, of course, although i do really like her... But yeah! On that note of having a rainbow mane and trying to fidn the right body color, you should use the pony creator and just kinda play with the color pallet until you find something that you feel looks good with the rainbow mane.
