@Calnos: Haha ^^, sweet, ponies mentioned/encountered by TotalBiscuit, add him to the list. Also on the list: beloved Starcraft II commentator Day Nine, who was sent a MLP doll and mentioned Bronies; and beloved Let's Player raocow, who encountered ponies no less than three times in the last months in Mario romhacks ^^ (for the record, Pinkamena just standing there, a picture of Rarity and a whole level of racing against Dashie).

Not really sure what that means, but it makes me happy smile

True, it isn't as bad as the stealing, but still

It just goes to show that Rarity actually does love her mom. Or that she has some parental issues that she needs to deal with.

You saying she doesn't love her dad or something?

Y'know, I wonder what the families of the mane cast make of the fact that their daughters have risked life and limb numerous times in dangerous tasks, and saved Equestria twice?

Because your dad can do whatever he wants, and doesn't need permission. That's just how it works.

I never really saw her parents showing up unannounced as that big of a deal. A bit surprising but not a big deal.

Then again my grandparents have keys to our house and we have keys to their house so that sort of thing is not that uncommon to me.

I think we might be just dealing with a culture clash with the parent thing. Yeah, it's rude, but I know that at least in some parts of America you wouldn't make too much of it; especially if your parents live nearby and drop in on a regular basis. If Rarity's parents live in Ponyville, it probably isn't that far-fetched to think that they drop in on occasion.

Also, did the episode clarify whether they had informed her beforehand about their vacation? If she knew they were going to be dropping Sweetie Belle off, it doesn't really qualify as dropping in unannounced.

[up]x5 AJ's and Twilitght's parents are probably ok.

Big Mac fully supports AJ ( as it was seen in the dragonshy ep)

My grandparents house is like the family 'hub'. The rest of us come and go as we please, and they don't just tolerate it, they actually enjoy it! [lol]

^^Rarity does say 'that's today? As in today today?' or something along those lines. The implication I got was that they had told her about it well in advance and she just forgot about it.

I get jittery if my mother touches my door so being angered if parents barge into your home unannounced, I can understand entirely. Though oddly enough I do not have the same feelings when it comes to my sister, we're chill. Parents are annoying.

Even though they're pretty cool, Barging into Rarity's home was uncalled for You'd think they'd at least wake her up or something instead of letting Sweetie Belle ruin her food and why the hell am I Defending Rarity again?

[up][up] They didn't tell her HOW LONG they were going away for it seems. She reacted with horror when they told her they'd be gone for a week

@Ginger: No, of course not.

The thought of anoyone coming into my house unnanounced bothers me, whether they're related to me or not. It just feels disrespectful. Especially since they don't live with her - it's her house. Unless it's just another house that they own and she lives in it's her propery, and even if they do own it it's still rude. It's basically saying 'I give absolutely no regard to your privacy or sense of personal space', to me.

I remember when I entered my former girlfriend's house unannounced. (while she was sleeping no less)

...

Yeah, there's a reason why she's my FORMER girlfriend [lol]

Again, it's probably a cultural thing. In a lot places, people probably wouldn't blink at parents dropping in unannounced unless you specifically asked them not to, especially in cases where large groups of extended family live in the same small town, or all in the same part of town, or whatever.

And it's a moot point anyway, as they apparently informed Rarity that they'd be coming by, and she just forgot.

It depends how you he along with your parents, probably Rarity does have that much confidence with her parents.

[up]Exactly

New episode in two night's time :D

I should repurpose one of my old doodlebooks for ponyarts. I think I might do a piece with Lyra bugging Bright Idea to make her a set of her "glove" tactical hoofshoes.

Wait, this is Equestria we're talking about. Who locks their doors there? It's not like there's such a thing as pony murder and pony assault and who knows what else... right?

Right?

Part of the appeal - to me anyway - is that the Equestrian world is light-years more wholesome and pure than our own.

Although I still like the darker and edgier stories to a degree. Does that make me a bit neurotic?

For the love of god, Ginger, I'm not a machine!

Bad jokes aside, it's going better than I suspected, More people are liking my stuff and I have 11 followers and... 11 messages. I'm going to answer one more Spike question and then answer the question about the adult material with a special guest star. Then back to the Mane six, but now I know how to knock out a bunch of questions at once:

Have Spike do it.

But for some reason my sister with her "Ask a bishounen pony" thing has more followersJust because I'm jealous doesn't mean I won't advertise her, seriously, she's a good artist. She will have less content than me because she'll be coloring and using her fancy computer graphics tech, but I move faster.

[up]Except that as we established, it wasn't without warning. She just didn't remember that her parents were going to drop Sweetie Belle off.
