I forget, what makes this thread different from the one in Western Animation?

Different people. Probably a different atmosphere, but I'm terrible at reading atmospheres. Also a lot slower pace here, it seems.
I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart.

Too slow if you ask me.

We need to find a way to lure more bronies or pegasisters here.

I never liked the term "pegasister". Something about it just sounds wrong. No idea what, though.

[up][up][up][up]The other thread tends to treat the show a bit more as Serious Business. On one hand it's nice to have a more serious discussion of characterization and plot, but on the other hand it can verge on Fan Dumb on some occasions. There have been a few cases where drama happens.

[up][up] I've always used the term "Brony" to describe anyone who's not in the target audience. "Pegasister" kinda sounds like something Rainbow Dash would call Fluttershy.

[up]That's why I stopped reading the fanfiction threads for MLP. It was a little too serious for my taste. It seemed like they were creating an entirely new continuity. Not that I'm against that, per se, it's just not my thing.

-shrug- I dunno. I'm just going along with the ever-changing lingo.

There are some times when I wonder how Equestria is still standing. Most of the ponies seem to forget important things all too easily, and other times they're completely oblivious to a serious threat.

Well, Ponyville has been pretty much wrecked on like 3 different occasions, so maybe they're just good with their Ridiculously Fast Construction.

[up] Now I'm imagining a bunch of Ponyville citizens gathered around a structure and hitting it with hammers Age of Empires-style.

I think that all creatures in Equestria are inundated with varying amounts of magic. How else could flying creatures perch on clouds like pegasi?

The magic itself may have originated as a side effect of a disaster that covered Equestria in (mostly harmless) magic fallout.

[up] Also, I think Cartoon Physics comes into play at some points.

True...but in most fantasy settings where magic is a big thing, I prefer to use magic or Magitek as an explanation for things that are otherwise unexplainable.

Cartoon Physics is a side effect of the magic.

Also, I think that when Pinkie was explaining to the CMCs about growing up on a rock farm, they misheard her. She grew up on a roc farm. Her family bred giant birds!

Yeah, but knowing Pinkie, she probably made it all up.

There's that, too.

Did you know that listening to "Winter Wrap Up" makes shoveling snow a hell of a lot more tolerable?

I have the urge to hum it whenever I collect snow in Minecraft.

*snicker* Now I do , too.smile

Wait a sec. How do you gather snow? Mine just breaks apart.

Curse my fat fingers. I was writing a pony fic, and I realised that I wrote that Pinkie said, "We throw a HUEG party, that's what!" Reading it back, this doesn't sound out of character for her.

You collect snow with a Shovel, but that's something else.

I almost named a character in my story Summer Sun (that Pinkie Pie-like filly I mentioned earlier) before realizing that's the name of the festival in the pilot. So I quickly changed it to Summer Song.

This thread is under-appreciated. It deserves more attention than this, says I.
