@Ginger: What, this picture? Yeah, I do like it. She's nowhere near thin enough in build, but the glasses, yes, are mrowr. =D

@Red hehe, you must be one of those people who prefered Yuki when she had glasses

I'd like that picture more if she didn't look so dirty

Cutie Mark Crusader foalsitters, YAY!

That picture is well drawn, but I imagined her humanized version as much more slender than that.

There's no way that couldn't end in disaster...

Wait, for some reason I imagined the humanized!Changeling Queen looking a lot like the Other Mother's monster forms from Coraline

I still want Leo to become cannon....

Exactly, JTeeth. And yes, Ginger, I'm a glasses man. XD I actually like the freckles, yeah... reminds me of Slugbox's OC Anurae. I do like freckles in general, though. (Yay Irish.)

I'm just happy Wild Fire is now canon. :B

Thing is to me they don't look like freckles, they look like... mold or dirt

Is it me or did the queen's hair look like seaweed. I thought she had a very "drowned" look

I just realized... the captain of the guard gets saved by the princess. Which is nice, since it's almost always the other way around.

@Kyler so... it was the ending of Enchanted?

Y'know, that cliche is flipped around so much these days I actually wished it were played STRAIGHT more often

Well I have nothing to contribute guess I'll be leaving then..... <<

Bye see all of you later..... ;;

Is that so? Curse my Small Reference Pools!

I don't see it that often actually.

Eh, you're probably right. I just wish people would focus less on conventions (be it sticking to them or flipping them on their head) and more on telling a good story... with good VILLAINS!!

For me, the problem is less that a man rescues a woman, but that the woman is basically useless until she's rescued. I wouldn't care if the knight was rescuing a lady under a spell or something, but if she's just there and is just being a stupid idiot who doesn't try to do anything to help herself, that the trope really begins to bother me.

@ilse but see the thing is, not all woman WOULD be able to escape on their own, or even be smart enough to come up with an escape plan. Same goes for a LOT of men too (like me). If it works and doesn't feel contrived given the characters that have been established then who cares if it's a guy or a girl? This character is incapable of escaping without another characters help

Yes, if the Damsel in Distress isn't stupid and a doormat (and really annoying) , then I can live with it.

Why Temple of Doom is my least favorite Indy movie. God I hate Willie...

Ah well, I guess I don't know what I'm talking about

We are not going to discuss women's rights here, right? that won't end well.

Let's talk about pony b-*shot*

No, I know sometimes a person can be useless. What bothers is when they CAN be useful or at the very least TRY to resist (That's why SA's enchantment didn't bother me- he was kind of resisting the Queen's spell, if only subconsciously). I just hate when they're just taken away and they start just crying and not every TRYING to do something. That's for either male or female. And yes, in RL it happens all the time when someone is overpowered, which should translate to the fictional realm.

Basically, Damsels in Distress can be done very badly, and that is by making them completely useless. So useless in fact, that they don't even care enough about themselves to make any sort of effort to save themselves.

I'd like Yuki's glasses if they weren't so reflective. You can't even see her eyes.

What I think is most interesting is that the Princess saves the Captain Of The Guard, but no one realized that it was a reversal of convention until after the fact and it doesn't feel like an intentional subversion.

Organic subversion are the best kind

I finally found Derpy in the newest episode! Woo hoo! Day. Made.

Eeyup
