The plot on that plushie isn't bad. Plots are the new standard by which I judge all the plushies I see. Because plushie-plot.

I still don't think that mass-produced plushies will be able to stand up to these handmade ones unless Hasbro teams up with TY for something like MLP Beanie Babies... Okay, that's a great idea. DO IT, HASBRO.

@CDRW: Well, that's an interesting way of judging plushies.

@Lurker: Plus that leads to background pony plushies! which is among the most excellent things.

I could care less about the plot. Get me a luna plushie with the right sized wings and horn however and I may just empty my bank account.

@ Orion: When the plot is well formed, you can tell the creator put a lot of love and care into making the plushie.

Hmm... In addition to the different characters each looking each falling at different points on the roleplaying vs. roll playing spectrum, I can also see each of them reacting differently to the idea of playing as someone different from themselves. Like, I can see Rainbow Dash just wanting to be someone cool, awesome, and radical—so her character is just an idealized version of herself. Similarly, Applejack wouldn't see the point of pretending to be someone different, so her character is basically herself as well. On the other hand, Twilight would make certain that all of her actions are in strict accordance with her character's stats and backstory. Rarity would see the whole thing as amateur theater and throw herself into her role. Fluttershy I could see becoming increasingly reckless and unlike her real self as it sinks in that there's no real-world consequences for what happens in the game. And Pinky Pie would probably make a character who, on paper, seems nothing like her, but in practice winds up acting exactly like Pinky.

Oh gosh, plot is a really strange part of my vocabulary, now.

I can't seem to stop using both meanings.

Where both meanings collide, hilarity results

People like fleshed out, well-rounded plots. Make them firm and supportive.

Totally relevant to the discussion

Oh, but for an epic Luna plushie with nice and glittery mane :D Woona is nice and cute, but I want the Metal Goddess of the Night :D

Like this one? All that needs to put it straight into epic territory is a removable cloak.

@Luna Plushie: So much want!

Yeah, like that! Only I'd be aiming for a darker coat :3

I like to think that Canterlot government now runs all day and night, and Luna handles the night shift :D She also clearly personally leads her Royal Guard contingent.

Good morning everyone. What are we talking about now?

Plushie plot. Or just plushies, I'm not sure.

Heya Marston.

Plushies have plot to take over the world.

Today: Plots and Player Characters.

@Meta: And that actually does seem right. Fluttershy's character just gets progressively more maniacal as the game goes on and takes suicidal risks.

I believe that Story was wondering where I was. I've actually been sick for the ast few days which has made posting difficult. Sorry. Hoping to feel bettr soon.

Oh god, that Luna plushie is going for over $1000.

Awww, get better soon Sereg. Maybe Fluttershy or somepony like her can take care of you :3

That is why I'm sorely tempted to quite my current (somewhat terrible but still worth holding onto for now) day job and make money by cranking out Plushies. Even though I only have Battlefield Repair-grade sewing skills, I reckon my crazy high Craftskill (check out my wirecraft Soulgems, lol) can compensate. Also I can bug my mother for tips and materials

@Sereg Hope you feel better soon as well
