Re:Bonbon: I don't think she's that bad (simply because Lyra likes her, and I don't think that would happen if there were nothing there to like). She also doesn't seem that bad when she's not talking.

@takashi.0: We're not comparing fanonLuna and canonLuna, we're just saying that canonLuna has plenty of potential. Maybe not as much as after her appearance in S1, but there's still more than plenty to work with there.

Oh, by the way, guys: Episode 7 isn't going to be about Dash, it'll be about Scootaloo. Think about it: if Dash holds a competition to be her pet, Scootaloo's sure to enter, simply because she wants to spend time with Dash (not necessarily as a pet, but it's a chance, right?). So, after a Sweetie Belle episode and an Applebloom episode, we get a Dash episode? Doesn't quite add up... but a Scootaloo episode does.

I know of some background ponies who haven't been named

Dash might be getting a pet chicken/dodo? (Yes, I know, that was bad.)

That is more fan-dedication than trying to name all the Nameless Fairies in Gensokyo :V

Granted, ponies are more individually unique than an army of said Nameless Fairies.

I suspect RD is going to have an ironic pet because said pet is awesome.

So where did the "Scootaloo is a chicken" meme come from?

You mean the angst and yelling? Yeah, didn't understand is exactly what I'm saying - I didn't understand what was so great about her, and I want to know.

@takashi, you can chill. xD As far as I could see there was NO discussion about f/canon Luna before me. Absolutely none. Zero. Null. I brought it up because I thought maybe -now- a guy could express a negative opinion without someone overreacting. (Also because I'm, howdyousay, kind of a jerk.)

Anyway I'm done now. xD I'll look forward to what is done with her in the future.

But honestly, what's bad about discussing the latest episode in this thread. It's only been two days. You are not yet allowed to be tired of a topic you don't like.

Plus I really did ask because I was curious about these "deep layers of personality" and what people could tell me about it. We can drop it if it makes people edgy.

@CDRW: This. I shit you not, that was all it took.

Dang, it's a youtube. I'll have to wait until after work to watch it.

Hey Luna! Thor called. He wants his hammy shakespearian dialect back.

@CDRW:Applebloom calls her a chicken in "The Stare Master".

@Vree: I'm not saying she's the best-realized character in fiction, but her character definitely has dimensions. I really, really want to write a confrontation between her and Celestia when she gets back from Nightmare Night; unfortunately, I'm way too busy to even work on my other fic right now, so that won't happen.

^...Or you can have the one sentence version.

Thor's reaction at watching MLP: *CRASH* EXCELLENT SHOW! I'LL HAVE ANOTHER!

What? Really? That's it?

Poor Scootaloo!

If you don't wanna wait to watch the video. It's from Stare Master. AB and Scoot are trying to call a chicken. The scene culminates with AB calling Scoot a chicken, and calling for the chicken their after by crying out "SCOOTALOO!"

damn I type slow

All Luna needs to do now is go "Starswirl's beard!" every time something shocks her.

edited 24th Oct '11 9:45:35 AM by nervmeister

So, what fics are everyone working on?

Someone tried to make Starswirl facts (mirroring Chuck Norris facts) on Ponibooru. That was kind of cool.

My headWMG is that Starswirl was a mare who grew a beard using Number 25 (which she invented personally) because she was a silly pony.

edited 24th Oct '11 9:46:44 AM by Vree

Y'know "Sitting Lyra"? Was that done intentionally, or was it an animation error?

cuz it looks WEIRD

we've got a thread for pony fics

edited 24th Oct '11 9:46:45 AM by gingerninja666

So, about Nightmare Moon's lack of Antiquated Linguistics or the Voice...

I wonder if she did it as a way of being rude? Like "If they do not respect me, then what point is there in using the proper protocol with them? They do not deserve a princess who addresses them properly."

Starswirl was male.

edited 24th Oct '11 9:48:16 AM by Enlong

This◊ is not what I'd call an animation error...Maybe an animator being lazy, but not an error...

But Lyra had her fair share of funny background events, so they may have just drawn her like that intentionally.

No, really? ;) That's the joke.

I am above such things....

*mind breaks*

It's about a group of somewhat grumpy human roommates that are accidentally sent to ponyville via botched "Dimensional Viewing spell" a la Twilight. It is meant to be about their adjustment into their new forms and how they have to adjust to pony life with the help of the Mane Six. Hilarity ensues.

YOU SEE WHAT THIS SHOW HAS REDUCED ME TO!?!?

edited 24th Oct '11 9:50:03 AM by MousaThe14

I've never really cared enough to pay attention to BG ponies (I know their names but that's about it), so I'm unaware of what Lyra normally does in the background

Now you can add ponies to real life videos!

Example that reminds me of My Little Dashie T_T

Also Twilight

AJ loves Inception

We need to find an appropriate famous, old, public domain novel to re-write with ponies.

Ponywulf?

I know, I haven't even posted my review of it yet. Speaking of which, it should be (hopefully) incoming tonight sometime after I finish classes.

That's actually more awesome than I was expecting.
