That whole 'involuntary behaviour' is a bit of a phobia to you, isn't it? I think you reacted similarly in reaction to the Cutie Pox.

Aaand Pagetopper.

I made an edit that you probably missed. Also, it's a phobia of me as well. Cutie Pox is a horrifying disease! (Doesn't stop the idea from being fascinating though.)

I'm ok with mind control, but if you're conscious as the process is happening... it terrifies me.

Seriously, I'm petrified right now

I thought the premise was: The ponies all swap bodies, but their cutie marks don't swap with their minds.

Awww, no love for my swap suggestions? I was real proud of those.

I'm already a redmage-type with too many side-talents, so Cutie Pox holds less terror to myself who already dabbles in too many things.

If it weren't for the fact that you must constantly perform your talent, Cutie Pox would actually be a pretty sweet deal (to me, at least).

It's not the "gaining many talents" thing, it's the "YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR BODY, AND YOU'RE FORCED TO HAPPILIY CARRY THEM ALL OUT UNTIL IT STOPS!!!" thing

(fetal position)

Not much more different from my surfing to over 12 browser tabs at once while eating and listening to music and enjoying a Let's Play while my mother nags in the background while doodling, then.

If it weren't for the fact that you had to perform the talents, Cutie Pox wouldn't be a disease, it would be a symbiotic condition that made you awesome.

@Sereg: ...! Fanfic fuel idea - a biologist Unicorn wants to "tame" Cutie Pox!

Speaking of which, I'm watching Cutie Pox right now.

How many episodes does season 2 have so far?

EDIT 1: Hang on, they have balling alleys now?

Wow, still amazed by how fast this thread moves at times. Anyways, from a couple pages back: Kyler: It's kind of and kind of not intentional. I'm trying to get a furry coat texture, but obviously the fuzziness isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I think I've got the short haired look down on the borders there, but since I ended up doing somewhat longer strokes for the rest of the details, it creates that weird contrast. And before this last one, they basically looked like Shetland ponies since I had longer fur all over them. I'm getting better at it, though, so hopefully it should become more subtle after a week or two.

Owl: I agree it's not based solely on personality, but like others have said, it's a big part. So yes, physical characteristics, but *Twilight Sparkle voice* I read somewhere that it works in the opposite direction as well. That is, being endeared someone's personality will also skew one's perceptions of that person's physical characteristics. */Twilight Sparkle* (hehe, I feel silly for doing that, but I'm in a goofy mood)

I have to agree with Ginger on the Loss of Identity and all the associated Fridge Horror we have going on with that discussion. I'm not petrified by the thought, but there is something unsettling about it when I stop to really consider the implications. Especially if it ends up not being reversible (the personality creep... well, actually the body swap not being reversible would suck too).

Holy fuck, THE BIG LEWBOSKI REFERENCE?!

Nopony bucks with the Jesus!

Oh, and Rarity gets another ep this Saturday :3

@Ace of Scarabs: You're right! I would TOTALLY read a fanfic about that!

Hmm...does FIM have any Mad Scientist?

Hmm...maybe Twilight can go insane and try to do something like that.

No,

but it should have(drops hint at the clockpunk OC).

7 minutes in.

So...AB's talent is blowjob?

Not unless you count Feeling Pinkie Keen!Twilight. However, there's room for them.

EDIT: Ninja'd and ???

I thought her first cutie mark looked like a Portal. I was disappointed when it wasn't orange on one flank and blue on the other.

I liked the body swap idea, especially the 6 groupings mentioned. Then again, I usually think Freaky Friday plots are amusing, as long as it's not permanent. Simply because it would be funny to see the cast suddenly acting like each other.
