Should we split Young Daring Do onto a seperate page?

Nah....the folder should be enough.

Ooh! Twilight would go apeshit over Storeyyeller's data mining script, trying to magically re-create it herself and mentally beating herself up for not thinking of the idea on her own!

Yes! I could see that!

Also, I have no new names atm...

Re: ponies talking like ponies. Would their written language be pictographic or more of a whinny/etc. based alphabet? I guess either way, at least as long as I could gain the trust of the ponies, it would be tough, but not impossible to at least figure out the written form of their language (people have historically somehow been able to learn each others' languages, so it shouldn't be too much different learning from sapient ponies). And then once fluent in writing, attempt to work on some way to imitate their speech. Being a non-magical pony in a world full of magical ponies would make me kind of sad, though.

hmmm, waht would be the right ponization of Sean Connery's name?

Has anyone here has ever read Gulliver's Travels?

The last story in the book involves the main character finding himself on an island of intelligent horses in a strangely similar scenario to this. The horses have a spoken language which Gulliver is able to learn, (though it is quite difficult due to the way the sounds are produced). I forget if they had a written language though. It has been some time since I read the book. I think I remember them using simple symbols because they don't have the means to draw anything small or detailed, a problem our ponies wouldn't have.

I tried thinking of that, but it's tough.

@ Lurker

I've read Gullivers Tavels...I'll take another look at it.

I've read Gulliver's Travels too. To be fair the last time I read it was for a Literature class in college so my memory is a bit fuzzy. I should read it again, however.

want to add a And the Fandom Rejoiced entry for the announcment that the pony Sean Connery would be cast as Daring's father.

Gulliver's Travels... yet another classic that I never got round to reading.

From what I'v seen it seems dark.

^I really didn't like it all that much. For a classic satire, it's very heavy-handed.

Yeah, the last two stories in the book are both the most bizarre and the least well known. If I hadn't done a little research and found out that the whole book was intended as a parody of rediculous adventure stories as well as a political satire I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it. It is actually rather humorous if you know the context, though, it's just that the context is a centuries old political climate.

I love how the page says: "sadly remembered as a children's tale." Whatever happened to being unbiased?

This is the best (warning: hyperbole is present here) video ever! (No spoilers for tomorrow)

Lyra in the background actually creeped me out a little when I first saw her

For the life of me I can't remember the context of that... thing Rarity is doing. Someone help me out.

The Elements of Harmony. When her tail grows back after defeating Nightmare Moon.

Why did her tail grow back?

Because of the magic of the Elements of Harmony I presume.

Oh yeah. It's adorable, though also rather suggestive.

Also, why does Fluttershy look so pissed off while she's dancing?

They do seem to basically be a "make everything better" spell.

She was Flutterwry then. Hard to tell with all the flashing lights.

Also, supposedly, iTunes released "Hearts and Hooves" early, and it's up on Youtube now. I'm not watching it just for sake of tradition, but if you guys want to, go ahead.

Does that mean Steven's moustache is back to normal too?

Rarity's tail returning seems to imply that everything even tagentally related to NM was returned to normal.

we knew that ages ago

Who knows. The Elements of Harmony seem to do whatever the plot happens to call for, unfortunately. Its a good thing they only use them once per season.

Bye guys, I'm off to work for an utterly pointless 4 hour shift. At least I got some writing done today.

SOOOOO behind on the times, bro.
