Just working on the preparations for the hangout that's likely imminent.

Also, pony you'd least want to hang out with?
It's a Demonic Lighthouse Slide! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I beg of you, Durza, make it so.

Tear jerkers and things that are cool.

@NES - Pinkie. I think I would end up punching her.

@Seraphem: Which is why it's a YMMV page, pretty much.

I think the problem is that since everybody is going to be affected most by different things, and all it takes to add something to those pages is one person feeling it fits.

Like for the Tearjerker page, I wouldn't consider most of the things on there tearjerkers, and I wouldn't think that most people would. But I can believe that for each individual moment there was at least one person who was affected by it enough to believe that it belonged there. That's all it means. Even if nobody else thinks so, if one person thinks it fits, it can go up. And the larger the fanbase gets the more of these "only one person really feels this way" type of moments.

Big Macintosh, I guess. He's not exactly a great conversationalist.

I dont get that, most of those mentions ARE times I really got into it, if not outright teared up, and least felt close. I think the only time I outright teared up during the show was Celestia's Ballad. But I tend to REALLY get into great works, empathize with the characters, it's pretty easy for a good work to play with my emotions and get me going. (one of the reasons I'm loathed to try Project Horizons, getting that attached, that into the characters, while they get tortured mutilated and maimed... no thanks.)

Have you ever watched Schindler's List? Granted, it's not exactly a fiction.

No, though I have watched several other movies about the Holocaust.

Wait, are we talking about M6 or ponies in the show in general?

@Seraphem: That's just it, a lot of people weren't affected that much. There were sad moments, sure, but nothing came close to actually making me cry.

I think the books I found the saddest were probably The Subtle Knife and The Beginning ({Animorphs}). But even then I didn't cry.

Diamond Tiara and/or Silver Spoon.

The Subtle knife?

Yeah read that series, first one was pretty good, but it just got way to pretentious, convoluted and preachy after that.

@ JT But that's also the other point, that some people ARE that effected, and so it's perfectly valid for them to put the moments that did so on a YMMV page.

How about that smelly pony from the Hearts and Hooves Day song? I think there was one at least.

Oh, how the tables have turned.

Keep Calm and Zandatsu On was the best of those episodes.

A lot of the stallions in that song were weird. The Too Clean Stallion's house probably looks like a decontamination zone and you have to wear a hazmat suit before you can visit him.

And filthy guy is for some reason, allowed among the general public, despite him stinking enough to kill a horse three times over.

That was a poor choice of phrase.

Man, one wishes they could have just stuck with the first ones. I actually thought they were OK.

Horrifying? I see nothing wrong with that for some reason. -hit with a horseshoe-

@ed: Same. But i've left my rant about that on the appropriate forum. But the last Pinkie design... do her eyes look too far apart to anyone else?

Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone.

I'd pretty much forgotten that Equestria Girls was a thing.

The Subtle knife?

Specifically the scene where that Texan guy dies.

Anyway, I agree that it gets pretentious and preachy later on, but I think it only got really bad with the third book.
