Fair enough.

Well.. at least we can all agree on one thing. And that is... Pony Pony Pony !

INDEED!

Pony pony pony pony pony pony!!!!!!!

On the topic of the whole "To the moon" thing, I think that most fans use that as a joke for Trollestia or Tyrant Celestia. I haven't seen many people use that concept seriously.

Hmm. I think previous episodes make it very clear that the elements of harmony are strongly tied to cutie-mark magic. Witness Discord's corruption of the Mane 6—he used anthropomorphized cutie marks to subvert their respective elements. This also explains Nightmare's earlier attempt—she was trying to do the same thing, subverting Dash's loyalty, Rarity's generosity, Fluttershy's kindness. (Applejack's and Pinkie's were not well thought out)

So, when Celestia turned the Elements of Harmony against her sister, her sister's powerful cutie mark reacted to the good intent, and imprisoned her on the moon. It wasn't Celestia herself that did it, it was a reaction between cutie mark and elements.

In other words, had it been, for example, Applejack who was rebelling against Celestia, she would not have been sent to the moon. She would have been trapped inside an apple tree, or transformed into one, or something.

Eh, speculation.

On that note: Twilight would have become a book of powerful magic (or possibly a constellation), Fluttershy would likely turn into a flock of butterflies, Pinkie would be a magical balloon, and Rarity and Rainbow I think you can guess.

Edit to add: A flock of evil butterflies and a malevolent, fourth-wall-breaking balloon are both images that amuse me.

Me likey.

Also, as an update to my MLP/Anime High School AU...thing, I've changed some of the names into more literal translations (and I'm using the Eastern order):

.......What?

Also, I found two Pinkie/Dash pics I thought I'd share with you all.

Relevant. It's got a pretty decent story going, but you'll really want to start at the beginning.

Hmm, can you explain plot of that?

My fanfic idea involving crossover.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are really, really, REALLY adorable flower fillies.

It's exactly what it sounds like. Ponies in space. Twilight is an explorer sent into a wormhole, and stuff goes from there. Also Dash is a space pirate.

The main reason I said to start from the beginning is that they just dropped a pretty tremendous drama bomb.

Oh, and this.

Hey, bronies.

A question: how do you think Equestria would react to a Zerg infestation?

They would use the elements of harmony and send the zerg to the moon.

Don't the zerg have Warp travel? Being sent to the Moon would be a minor setback at best.

If they could utilize the Elements to turn the Zerg to stone (like with Discord, but on a far larger scale), on the other hand...

Really, it depends on how much the Zerg have spread.

Unfortunately for everyone, Fluttershy keeps a drone hidden because it's just too cute.

Dealing with the Zerg requires a superhuman amount of tactics and preparation. Do you think the inhabitants of Equestria will be able to manifest these two qualities?

Weaponized friendship wouldn't be enough.

Fluttershy stares the Overmind into submission.

Shit, you have me beat.

And then Fluttershy becomes Zergshy/Flutterzerg/whateveryacallit, kills the Overmind and styles herself the Queen of Blades.

Am I the only one who thinks Fluttershy would be an awesome Kerrigan?

Thought so. -swag-

I ran into a troll on Omegle who went through the usual Anti-Brony routine. However, I managed to keep my cool and tolerate the abuse. Eventually, he decided to admit defeat (something I woudln't expect, but I've never handled a troll in a similar way). He sounded impressed though, since he admitted that Bronies can handle that kind of abuse and still keep standing.

It looks like my Brony training has paid off. -squee-

The best part is that I found and uploaded that picture year ago

Chocobo Dash is best Dash?

Fun Fact: This is the first image I've ever successfully uploaded.

I saw the Summer Bronycon 2012 banner on EQD.

When I saw the Sonic Rainboom on the side, for a second I thought it was a Rainbow Portal.

I need something to clear my mind of Portal, but at this point nothing short of Laser-Guided Amnesia would work.

I really should learn to sketch ponies. Anybody have a link to the first Artists Training Grounds on EQD?
