Always nice to know people care about their creation.

Because "for the lulz" is a perfectly good reason to do something.

^^^I'm not sure what the point of the second one is. Why shouldn't they face away when exiting a scene?

They want to keep "plot" jokes to a minimum?

Actually, I liked that. It was bizarre, yeah, but pretty well done.

^^I would have figured that, were it not for my assumption that the season's production had mostly wrapped up by the time that meme came about.

Am I wrong?

@Anonymous: Maybe it's like 'stage direction' or something?

"I'm not sure what the point of the second one is. Why shouldn't they face away when exiting a scene?"

It was explained to me in theater class, but I can't remember the exact reasoning. But it applies to all actors - live, filmed or animated; never turn so that your backside is facing the audience, always switch directions facing forward.

#8861 kegisak Mon, 4th Jul '11 8:25:40 PM

It's a case of rule of observation, I think? The face is the most important thing on a character, so the audience needs to see it - unless it's important that they don't.

Holy cow! I never thought 4kid's One Piece rap would never go well with anything.

Don't make me fire Pinky's party cannon.

Pretty sure that's the case. You want to maintain the connection between the character on the audience, and keeping the character facing the audience is a way of maintaining that connection.

Maybe it wasn't Gilda... Maybe it was Pea Tear Griffin, the griffin who randomly flies through scenes.

Probably more stupid-funny than anything else, but...

Loves horses and her boyfriend too

GAH I CAN'T FIGURE OUT A CUTIE MARK FOR MY WILD WEST OC! I was thinking railroad tracks at first (he basically just wanders Equestria) but I thought it would look stupid...Anyone got ideas?

Lasso. Hat. Agave. Tumbleweed. Spurs.

#8870 kegisak Mon, 4th Jul '11 9:40:43 PM

Hm...A cutie mark for a wanderer?

A fistful of dollars? Dunno. Hoofprints, maybe?

Why did the inclusion of "it is ON!" make me laugh?

x2 Yeah, I was thinking that...I've put in a compass rose, so that's also a possibility... Or a tumbleweed. But that's almost as stupid as a spoon or a safety pin. No offense, blueharp.

"Lasso. Hat. Agave. Tumbleweed. Spurs."

Wonder what the last one entails.

#8874 blueharp Mon, 4th Jul '11 10:00:42 PM

Why do you think he has to wander so much??

#8875 kegisak Mon, 4th Jul '11 10:01:22 PM

The tumblweed doesn't sound like a bad one. It's symbolic - it goes wherever the wind takes it.
