@JT: Twilight in a box? Who the fuck put Twilight in a box? Why didn't I get a Twilight for Christmas? God damn it, I am angry! RAGE!

Well this was a stupid page topper.

Cruel, a bit black, again yes it's not a sugary perfect G3 Sugar Bowl, that sort of thing, yeah that is wholy unrealistic. but i see no reason to assume it's THAT far the other way when there is not a shred of evidence, and there is no reason for it to begin with.

Further the whole Herbivores herd animal versus omnivores hunters and more self oriented humans. The shear differences that alone would have in temperament and outlook is vast enough to account for why they are just plain nicer and more caring on the whole.

Twilight probably climbed into the box herself for some reason.

And seriously, that would have been the best gift ever.

Getting a filly is a white elephant gift. You have to take care of it just right, or else it dies or runs away, and you have to live with the guilt forever.

These changing years, they add to your confusion.

My god, trying to clothes shop for me is one of the most fruitless endeavors in the world. Every pair of pants is either a few inches too short around the waist, a few inches too short on the leg, or some combination of the two. Granted I suppose 38/38 or 40/40 fits aren't common, but gods...

Also, there should be a pony version of this horse

. Or would that just be Fleur?

@Mio: Yeah, living with us would likely be too much pressure for Twilight.

I think the show pretty much has a good compromise of idealistic and cynical aspects. It's heavily idealistic, but there's enough peril and cruelty in the setting to understand that not everything is perfect and sometimes life isn't fair in Ponyville without being out and out depressingly mean spirited about it.

That does indeed look like it could be Fleur ~~Delacour~~.

#323809 JM Qwilleran Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:44:36 PM

So I found myself thinking about something— the fact that no matter how much we like this show, it is a show that is targeted at children's audiences. And so I was just curious— is there anyone here who either A.) has a kid / kids or B.) watches the show alongside one or more (and is willing to say so?)

(As for me, for those that care, no.)

#323810 Crowfall Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:45:03 PM

@Seraphem: That's actually an interesting point. I wonder how being herbivores would affect a species temperament.

@Kyler: I would gladly take on that responsibility. No unhappy fillies in this house.

Man, that horse is shiny. I almost thought it was airbrushed for a moment.

We are all kids at heart.

Unless you're a curmudgeon or artificial intelligence.

Or artificial curmudgeon.

I don't get the idea that plant-eating == good, meat-eating == evil.

Well, terran horses can be real jerks sometimes :V

Their herd instincts make them more likely to stick together than humans, also they're prolly jumpier.

#323813 Seraphem Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:47:33 PM from Delamare

well, we've already seen how easily they panic.

Curmudgeon? Where?

Also, that horse looks really funky and kind of fake. Knowing my luck though that probably is her natural coat.

@Kyler: Well I'm not saying a plant eating intelligent race would be nicer. Like Ace said, horses are perfectly capable of being assholes. But I do think they would be different, and I'd be interested to see how.

#323816 JM Qwilleran Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:50:29 PM

Oh, BTW, about the whole thing with Spike being out of character or whatever— I don't know if anyone else has said this (if so, they certainly haven't said so), but couldn't it just be chalked up to him being a bit crazed because of the whole life debt / dragon code thing or whatever? He's trying so hard that he's basically become manic and so he doesn't act as he normally does because he wants so badly to help out.

(Well, of course we're children at heart, but I'm still curious if there's anyone here who watches with or has actual kids.)

Plus the whole herd mentality. And the fact we've already SE En that they are, this just gives a reasoning why.

#323818 Orion Aurora Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:51:46 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

I guess the plus side of being herbivores is that we don't have to hunt for our food. If we get hungry, we can eat our lawns.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

#323819 Psi 001 Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:52:33 PM

That may have been an interesting direction for it. Actually Spike still needs his token mental breakdown.

Imagines Spike stalking AJ and dressing up like her.

#323820 Crowfall Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:53:19 PM

Does anypony actually do that? It seems like the sort of thing that would be viewed as rather uncouth, like something a homeless pony would do.

So, naked with a hat?

Spike being overeager to please is as good an explanation for his clumsiness as any. Headcannoned.

And yeah being overeager is my reasoning too. At least the Watsonian one.

Good idea.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#323825 Mio Sun, 30th Dec '12 7:57:53 PM

@Psi 001: No thanks, I could do without that sort of thing.

Then again I've never been big on the mental breakdowns in this series anyway.
