I'm about to head off for collage. Fridays are the best for me, I'm literally have about 2 hours before I done for the day. See you guys later then.

Pagetopper? Have a game!

Suddenly, OWLBEARS! Heh, Xenoblade music for the win.

Guess I've seen worse netgames.

@Ace of Scarabs:

Are you reffering to my fic? If so, it's not "in compensation" so much as "because it's appropriate for somepony trying to emulate Star Swirl the Bearded".

@Sereg: What a coincidence! I haven't seen your fic yet, would you kindly share a link with me?

@Ace: Current draft of first chapter. Comments appreciated.

Read your fanfic-in-progress, it was fairly engaging. Your incarnation of present-day Star Swirl is such an adorkable fangirl.

You playing with the rule that trans-racialism is taboo in Equestria? I haven't seen any other fanfics that use this rule yet.

And I'm back, and the thread hasn't even finished one page?! What is this madness?...

..

Ah well, Skyrim time!

I'd say it's the calm before the storm. Tomorrow, there will be pages. Many of them.

80% of those pages will involve Ginger being pissed about something.

Ginger is our Element of Drama

You know, I think tomorrow will hopefully be the first time I watch a ep with my brother without one of us seeing it before. Should be fun. ^_^

(strumming fingers) What was that?

Oh, hi everyone!

Just joking around, Ginger ~_^

I really am TRYING to not be angry at stuff. I'm just not very good at it. (stupid paranoia!)

This thread would be more boring without the excitement you bring, Ginger.

I don't ALWAYS enjoy your rants, but it wouldn't be the same without you, Gingy. Keep up the good work, sir.

Also, this guy is one of my new favorite human pony artists. It's criminal he isn't better known.

Mmh. They're good, but I'm just not digging the style, personally. But they're good, all the same.

My penchant for smuttiness is far too strong, so my favourite pony artist pretty much HAS to be Megasweet

Yeah, it's weird. I can tell that it's technically very well done, I'm just not a big fan of the art style. There's nothing wrong with it, tough; I think it might be that she looks too pink. It's like the artist tried to make her skin color match Pinkie's coat.

I just realized something about Applejack's mark that has probably occurred to everyone else. However, I still feel the need to mention it.

Her mark represents her desire and talent for working the farm, what with it being a group of apples. However, it also represents her desire to be with her family. Apple Bloom wasn't born at the time that she got her mark, so it can only be significant that her mark is of three Apples.

I prefer Egophiliac and Joesco.

So she doesn't like Apple Bloom as much as the rest of her family?

But seriously, while I think you have a point about the marks representing her desire to be with her family, I don't think the number is that significant. Cutie Marks seem to follow the Rule of Three a lot of the time; Rarity has 3 gems, Pinkie has 3 balloons, Fluttershy has 3 butterflies, etc.

Egophiliac is great. Joseco is pretty good too when he isn't relying entirely on fanservice.

I LOVE Joseco, but I think his art can sometimes get a bit too repetetive design wise.

For some that's a deal breaker. For me, I still really like his art, it just stops him from being my absolute favourite.

Huh, never realized that before

Apple Bloom wasn't around when AJ got her Cutie Mark.

Again with the problems with fan service XD

edit: sigh, no one likes Megasweet (hyperbole)

edited 6th Jan '12 7:30:20 AM by gingerninja666

What I meant was that if AJ's 3 apples represent her family, it means Apple Bloom basically got ripped off due to the fact that she wasn't born at that point. The other thing is that most C Ms don't seem quite that specific. I can buy it representing her family in general, but not representing specific family members. Also, if Apple Bloom isn't born yet, their parents must be around, so there should be at least 5 apples if that's the case.

Also, I don't dislike the fanservice on principle, it's just that I think he uses it as a crutch sometimes. Like rather than putting the extra time into refining the designs or adding more detail, he just goes "Eh, I'll just draw boobs. People like boobs."

I don't mind Megasweet, but I think she has a similar problem of just defaulting to easy sexy drawings rather than putting more work into other aspects of her work.

If AB wasn't around then, that would mean that AJ's parents still were, which makes the three thing wrong.

I really want to know exactly what's up with AJ's parents this week. Like, that's my number one hope with this episode, that we find out something about them. Anything would be nice at this point.

I mostly prefer Joesco's "Good Morning Blank" pics, though there's a picture of his on Ponibooru of a ponified Ulfric Stormcloak that I really like.
