My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: 6 Reasons to Love a Little Girl's Show

[PlaceHolder]

I am... somewhat divided on the Pony Fantasy VI thing. I seem to have forgotten where I put my emulator, and as Violet said it looks weird. Also VI is my least favorite of the Final Fantasies I've played, for a variety of reasons, and I don't see the reasoning for some of the casting choices at all.

Bipeds make everything weird for ponies.
I've only played two FF games, so it doesn't really mean much that VI is my favorite.
Then again, Vanish/Doom makes the game broken as hell.

The only casting choices I'm concerned with is Trixie as a general, Applebloom as a thief treasure hunter, and Fluttershy as an assassin.
But I guess magic, curiosity, and bear-snapping powers could justify those.
Also, Scootaloo is best mascot.

Also, I found this.

Waiting for this post to be edited with a link or else something following the text...


But yeah, I imagine Fluttershy as an assassin would be awfully similar to that scene where she sneaks up on Rainbow Dash in Return of Harmony Part 2.

[Metaflare]

i think they chose flutters for shadow because of the dog

[Triangle Man]

I should play FF VI period, get a look at Kefka first hand.

Also, trying to imagine this show as a 'shonen manga' causes my head to get full of fuck wait what?

Also, I found this.

Also, it's time for 'Triguy Watches MLP, Repeat Show Part 4'. Today's episode - "The Cutie Pox'.

You say that all the time. You are so, so confident.

Are you sure you want a Cutie Mark in Bowling?

Three Strikes sounds like a good name for a bowling team.

Her naming needs work, I guess.

That was so cheesy.

HOLY SHIT IT'S THE JESUS!!!

Oh, right, Big Lebowski references.

That was a gutterball.

That's not how you do that HI DUDE!!!

You people suck so much, right.

That is terrible form, Applebloom.

Even I can bowl better than that.

Wow, 2 seconds of joy followed by a lifetime of emotional pain.

That is just sad.

Donk.

Oh God, what if my family can hear me playing the theme song holy shit.

Nevermind, I can shut this off and claim I was viewing porn again.

Everyone suffers, Applebloom.

That's putting it mildly, Scootaloo.

Blow up the school, SCoots, you know you want to.

Sweetie's voice squeaks a lot, right.

Sometimes people don't want to party, Pinkie.

Being young sucks, am I right?

Don't go into the creepy woods.

Wait, she's cool with that, a true frontier pony.

Hey, Zecora, how's it going?

Don't chipped teeth really hut like hell?

That lisp is funny.

Hey, if a lifelong blank flank can happen to Candy Mane, it can happen to you too.

I WANT IT NOW I WANT IT NOW!

Isn't this like wanting to grow up too fast?

That is just a miraculous potion.

Potions is a good skill to have, right?

Zercora is like some sort of crazy magic witch doctor zebra thing.

Applebloom, don't do that. No bribing the witch doctor.

So clearly she just needs to find a way to make time go by faster/grow older faster.

So Heart's Desire is an aphrodisiac? What the hell?

Her rhymes are off.

Whatever she's planning can't be a good thing.

I'M JUST GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL AND SHOW OFF MY ASS TATTOO/SWAG!

SWAG BITCHES SWAG!!!

I want to punch that kid with the lisp and the glasses in the face.

Look at her go with the Hula Hoop.

Why do they talk like they're in High School?

The mean kids, I mean.

Mean girls holy shit that was good.

We're too cool for school!

FUCK LEARNING I WANT TO SEE APPLEBLOOM'S HULA HOOPING!

BULLSHIT MY TEACHERS WERE NEVER THAT FUN!!!

And then the class partied all day long.

NOW I CAN BE BETTER THAN EVERYONE AT SOMETHING AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL!

Note the two kids in the background who don't quite know how to approach this whole 'hoop' thing.

Applebloom, why are you so arrogant?

Life sucks, my friends. Life sucks.

She can't stopping hooping and looping, right?

This part of the episodes feels like filler.

PHYSICS DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY, APPLEBLOOM!!!

OHSHITSOMETHINGWEIRDHAPPENED!!!

Diamond Tiara, why'd you have to throw her under the bus like that.

And this is where shit starts getting real.

Note that Applebloom is most freaked out by that until she starts playing it to the hilt.

"We're sending our kids to school for shit like this?"

Wait, everyone loves it. Looks llike every single fucking day is an adventure in this town.

Twilight with Rarity's mane.

Spike, that's just creepy you're creepy.

Is this scene really going to take up most of the episode.

Not that it wasn't entertaining, but the plot could've gone a lot faster.

The Apple Family is a tight knit clan.

Is my back going to go like that when I get younger and that painting reminds me of another painting what an awesome reference!!!

'Finally Blossomed?' ...What? Why dos this sound like a metaphor for puberty? What the hell is wrong with my fucked up brain?

And then shit really started going down.

That is not something you want to happen to your little sister, right?

Come on, Applejack, you should be able to beat down your own sister, right?

And then Twilight got to save the day with knowledge!

Because knowledge is power.

Look at that alliteration...

And the end result is death by exhaustion, I hope?

...I'm sadistic, I guess.

Oh, so...

I was going to ask what they were saying, but this video happened to come with some highly entertaining translations!

WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO?!

Is it Zercora or Zecora?

Well, this is just becoming crazy and people are sort of freaking out now.

WHO IS THIS YOUNG FILLY AND WHY IS SHE CHALLENGING ME TO A SWORDFIGHT?

Those ponies are way to panicky and fuck, Spike what is wrong with you? That is not how you keep a crowd calm and under control!!!

Oh, this is awkward.

This is really, really awkward. Also, nice Season 1 callback.

Applejack is still slightly racist.

...Does that even make sense here?

OH SHIT SHE'S IN TROUBLE NOW!!!

Okay, where did they get those masks from?

Ah, so now it's a truth telling thing?

Wow, so you have to confess to be cured? Damn, that's brutal!

PINKIE HAS TO SAVE THE DAY!

OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES.

Zecora is no fucking impressed right now.

Wow, Pinkie Pie, that's...what? How many did you have?

Pinkie Pie has issues.

It's like this town is busy all the time.

FINALLY IT'S OVER! SHE CAN STOP! SHE CAN STOP!

And then there was another sickingly sweet happy ending.

Is this a 'tell the truth' moral here?

The animation in this show is so smooth, right?

How did she do that?

Mistakes make you stronger. Suffering makes you stronger.

Oh, it's about not taking shortcuts in earning good things, right?

I would've also taken "We are a cumulation of all of our experiences put together".

What an old cliche!

Wait, so they literally learned nothing at the end of the day?

Well, at least they can make every day an adventure.

I am so paranoid about my family finding out about this. Oh God Oh Man Oh God Oh Man...

...Yeah, I'll stop now.

Colt: Twilight, there's a new joke going around. Have you heard it? What did the Smartypants say to the face?
Twilight: What?
*SLAP*
Colt: Cold blooded. Ha ha, I'm Jib Reins bitch.

Also, I held off on buying a Griffon D&D figure for a while...

now one the exact size is coming out... BUT IT'S FROM PONI.

PERFECT!

Even if I hate Gilda, a figure of her would be awesome. Now I need a Trixie and an accurate Fluttershy, and I could run a pony-campaign... too bad all of my D&D playing friends HATE poni. My brother turned them from neutral to outright hatred of it, even though they haven't seen it.

[weirdguy]

way off topic but isn't it a little shortsighted to use 50 of your best warriors in a test against a biological weapon?

also it would be funny to passive aggressively use nonpony figurines that are from the show in your campaigns and see how long it would take for them to notice

Ignorance is only bliss to those who are themselves ignorant.

If they don't even know what pony is like, or what the pony community is, you could trick them into liking it by presenting non-contextual fan works.

I did that once. It was hilarious when I revealed to my friend that it was pony-related.

[Namboto]

So Junebug is around 5300 words long and officially the longest thing I've ever written (sad, I know). I just need to finish up the BIG DRAMATIC SCENE and it'll be done! I promised people on reddit that they'd get the first read through, but I'll post it here shortly afterwords.

Also there was a guy in a sollux shirt showing off his RD tattoo in a recent roundup, that wasn't any of you guys, was it?

The only thing they hate worse than poni is fan-works. Of all kinds. Actually, that might only be my brother, but if I shove ponies down their throats, they'll hate it more. Hell, I used to just WATCH the show and they accused me of shoving it down their throats.

Plus, on the website all of us are working on, I agreed to not mention ponies if my brother never mentions wrestling.

He's already written several jokes about wrestling, so when his episodes come out, I'm ponying the SHIT out of everything.

No, but every Brony meetup I've been to, they haven't recognized my Dave costume or my Ellis (L4D2) costume.

"Hey, your shirt." "Yeah?" "Is it from Minecraft?" "FDSGSDGDSGDSG"

Later that night, I heard one of them talk about 413chan. "Oh, you DO like Homestuck?" "What's Homestuck?"

First thing that came to mind.
Not sure if people like this kind of wrestling.

Someone needs to edit Rarity's voice into that. Or the opposite.

Anyway pony pony for pony.

Ponibooru is hosted on the same thing that 413chan is, to the ignorance of the many that frequent there.

[MobileMammal]

My brother DOES like that form of wrestling.
But he hates John Cena.
Sooo... :V
And come on, if you're not a brony now, you'll probably never be. Fucking GABEN likes ponies.

The best thing is to just leave them alone.
Keep doing what you do, and avoid talking to them about ponies.
If they bring it up, talk about it. If they don't, don't.

I just said I was going to do that. You guys aren't listening.

And I'm saying if GabeN can't convince you to give it a try, nothing will.

I am totally listening.

Just reinforcing what you already know.
