@Gex I'd say turning her into something scary would work better, though I'm not sure Trixie would have done it

Trixie might not have, but amulet-corrupted Trixie probably would have.

I would make an easy tree joke, but eh.

Yeah, who knows how bad things could have got. Also, did anyone notice how concerned the mane six were once they found out what the amulet was doing to her? This was mentioned before here, but it's really sweet, and shows how the six really are the good guys.

Also, my mother is being an absolute pain in the arse at the moment. She's causing a ruckus around the whole house. I hope that it dosn't interfere with pony time.

Yeah. It was good to see that there's no further bad blood between them and Trixie.

The next time she shows up, she'll actively help them save the day.

I'm looking up how to customise Firefox so I can stick the classic Netscape throbber in place of that hideous 8- or 12-dots throbber.

Hangover for Vinyl

@ ed

I certainly hope so. What a team up that would make.

Also, I wish I had my own place at times like this.

Woohoo, Stylish extension let me fix it :D

Classic N Throbber GET

Babs Wolf :3

One hour.

I actually would like it if "weird" names were more common, because I think that a wider variety of names should be socially acceptable, including My Little Pony type names. This is because I like those kinds of names myself, ALONG with more "normal" names, and the divide between the two is rather arbitrary. One can't just say "no names that are common nouns" because then that would eliminate "normal" girls' names like Hope and Rose. And "the kid will be bullied!" argument just means that I think that people should be taught NOT to bully people for something they can't help anyway. My personal stance on bullying prevention is that the best way to do that is to encourage tolerance for differences in general anyway, and to focus on the bullies' behavior, not the victims.

The name thing is kind of a personal Berserk Button issue of mine, though. Partially because I probably would have wanted to actually change my real name to Rainbow if I hadn't gotten "Rainbow" established as my online alias and I decided it was safer to have an online alias anyway, so I use it for that (and I have lots of medical records that would be annoying to change).

I draw the line at utterly ridiculous names that have too many 'x's and 'y's and 'k's just to be edgy.

At least have a real name in a foreign language :V

@Ace

Tabs are open now, using Otaku Ascended and Midnight Run.

Sweetie pops up in the strangest places.

She's clearly learning ninjitsu from Pinkie :V

To make my name rant more on-topic, since naming conventions are different in pony culture than they are in ours, I wonder if names that are considered "normal" in our world would be seen as unusual in pony culture.

Is this perhaps what Babs may have been bullied about besides just her lack of a cutie mark? Like "Ha ha, Babs? That doesn't mean anything! That's a nonsense word!"

I wouldn't be surprised. Kids have been teasing other kids for less. Or for no reason, even.

Nah, it's the acronym of her name that's worse. B.S. Yeeesh.

HOLY SHIT PARADISE UPDATED! It's been like a year since it updated!

Dance X Mixer renders: Rarity and Sweetie

This is so wrong. (NSFW: explicit lyrics)

Midnight Run is airing Winter Wrap Up and Otaku's airing Magic Duel.

T-Minus 40 minutes :D

@Ace: Oh lord, I didn't even notice that.
