(Sighs) Why am I always late to the punch with these conversations? Anyways I'm not gonna lie but I want to go collecting gems with Rarity out in the mines.

Honey Bunches of Oats, Clusters, corn or frosted flakes, and chocolate chips all work nicely in vanilla yogart.

and thus, the pony thread became the cereal thread. what will it transform into next?

Hard to find some of those around here :V

man, I hardly post here anymore. or even read anything, for that matter.

the next season really can't come soon enough...

Eww, banannas? How can anyone stand them? And putting sugar on cereal is mostly redundant.

As they say in Foxtrot, 'I prefer my sugar unadulturated'

I dunno, man. Like, I'm okay with bana taste, but I have issues with putting anything that goes mush in my mouth...

@Blissey1 Whilst with me I'm slowly but surely catching on the others and as a matter of fact I'm just about to watch another two episodes of season 2 and I gotta say season 2 is pretty good so far.

We sure do seem to be connoisseurs of food around here. First cheese, then bacon, and now cereal. We've practically got a complete breakfast right there (though you'd probably want something other than the bacon or cereal to put the cheese on).

cheese eggs? Or maybe cheese toast.

Speaking of food, any fanfics about Twi facing a food conrundum when she tries to find out what was in that burger she ate in EQG?

I'm rebooting my imperial guard codex rewrite. That's a games workshop thing.

In pony news, photoshop is still out.

If they did, they'd probably get a visit from Reality Check, informing them horses can eat meat. TO SAVE THE DAY! I like the guy's webcomics well enough, when he keeps politics out of it, but honestly his antics in the pony fandom I find hilariously dumb. Like taking a 'Don't betray your dreams for money' moral wildly out of context as 'corporations are evil'

It would be kind of interesting. Given that the only other thing we saw them eat was fruit salad though, it's easy to assume it was a veggi burger.

But that said, it WOULD be interesting to see Twilight trying to recreate the taste of a burger in her home dimension... through the science of cooking!

I know for a fact that there's some fanfics where Dashie tried some of Gilda's meat snacks before.

That would be hilarious. Twi doesn't to know it's meat, but found it delicious enough to try and replicate it, For Science!. After a month of failure, she goes over to the griffon cook in MMOFE and describes the taste. Cue an epic I Ate What? reaction.

All they have to do is perfect stem cell technology so they can make artificial meat.

I guess I should be using this ps downtime to write instead.

To the fanfic thread.

Any time I start thinking of ponies in the human world, explaining the fact that we/they are carnivores now always features prominently into the hypothetical conversation.

Eh, I mainly eat fish and chicken as far as meat goes, so they're not on my diet :V

Funny you mention that in the same post as mention of changelings. I always liked to imagine the changelings as being very disturbed at the ponies' habit of killing things they want to eat, judging it as being wasteful, while the changelings simply let their food source live and keep producing food.

Sadly the comic jossed that, to a degree(One could explain them as needing an emergency food source which sadly lead to sapping the source). I still think it's an interesting thought that the Changelings are not particularly malicious. I mean, their method of getting food is making you love them, so... all things considered, they should be a benevolent species.

They're parasites imo.

And they killed the lovecats.

Hence why some fanficcers (like our own Blissey) theorize that there are other changeling hives that have a symbiotic, rather than parasitic, relationship with the ponies.

One of the characters from my Everfree cast is part changeling. He doesn't need love to sustain him, but he does subconsciously feel a nagging hunger for attention and affection that has led him to becoming a glory-seeking showboat.

@Applelight: Well, strictly speaking it's dubious whether they're truly parasitic. Yes, based on the comics their love-eating does seem to be draining, but Cadence showed the ability to be in a presumeably long-term engagement with a pony with said pony being no worse for the wear - he was getting headaches due to mind rape, but as soon as that ended he was back up and kicking. So presumably there's no need for them to be harmful.

Likewise, they provide an emotional service for their 'host', giving threm a target for affections that, presumeably, they'd return(After all, they don't want their host running off on them). So they're more likely symbiotic than truly parasitic.

Of course, it's very much questionable whether a species that feeds on love is capable of loving somepony, and one could argue such a one-sided relationship is inherently unhealthy... they're an interesting case, really.
