Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

Well I've started listening to fallout equestria. Initially I didn't want to listen to it, cause the idea of the mane 6 dying horribly didn't sit well with me, also all the audio logs that yank my heartstrings. However getting past that I'm enjoying it.

Also I already know who five out of the six new bearers of the elements of harmony are, but who's the sixth? Don't worry about spoiling it for me, I don't care if you give me a spoiler. I'm one of those people that don't care if someone spoils something for me.

Also is it possible for a bearer of the elements to be a non-pony?

..That's kinda sad.

They get progressively darker and often times something too foul to be for bathroom graffiti, often times spewing forth paranoia that we're a bunch of mafia style con artists hacking into people's accounts and stealing their money or some garbage.


The short version of all the garbage being spewed forth from the corners of the internet would be, "bronies are scum for donating money to charities"

That comment is either an elaborate parody of moronic conspiracy theories, or utterly pathetic.

Who is the sixth element bearer? Seriously? I looked up spoilers and still don't know. I thought it was going to be Gawd.

So, playing TF2 pony server, saw a Fluttershy Medic spray, got me thinking.

What role would each of the mane 6 (and possibly other ponies) play in TF2?

Pinke is obviously the pyro, and fluttershy a medic. But what else?
Big Mac as a heavy?

Wait... what? There's an audio book of it?

Overall, I thought it was a pretty decent adventure epic. Good writing, lots of awesome action, and believable/relatable characters set it apart from just "Fallout with ponies." However, it didn't really have the kind of philosophical/psychological/emotional impact that I could tell the author was aiming for.
I like it as an entertaining adventure story, but not too much more than that.

If you're looking for an adventure epic that will blow your balls off with sheer emotional impact, read The End of Ponies. Manly tears will be shed.

...NOPE!
There's a reason why I tend to stay the ever loving fuck away from grimdark.

What reason would that be? End of Ponies isn't exactly "Cupcakes"-style grimdark...
Sure, it's got its main-character-deals-with-hopelessly-crippling-depression parts, but overall its message is one of hope.
What drives you forward in the face of absolute futility? When you know that nothing you can ever do will make a difference in the end?
The story tackles this question with a level of emotional aptitude I've never seen anywhere else. And believe me, I used to be a rather prolific reader. Really, you've got to read it to understand.
I guarantee you won't regret it. It will really make you think.

Do they have multiple voice actors for the different characters? /)^3^(\

Cause those sorts of similar thoughts occupied my head for years and reading a story like that metaphorically would be for me like if someone knifed you in the throat.
It's not that I don't doubt that it's emotionally moving or good, it's that I know what I can handle psychotically and that's way past the line of okay.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, as I've been sans-internet for a while and don't want to read back through 100 pages of pony banter... so I'll just mention it.

Is anyone here planning to attend the Canterlot Gardens brony-con this September? It's taking place in Strongsville, OH (about fifteen minutes from Cleveland) September 28-30th, and pre-registration is starting now. I'm definitely going to be there (I'm about four hours from there, which is a hell of lot closer then all the cons in California).

Oh, BTW, Andrew W. K. is going to be there to do a panel on why PINKIE PIE IS YOUR FUCKING GOD. Good times.

I so wish I could go to a convention, but it'll have to wait until next year.

That's why I really want to go. I just got back from Bonycon though, so I have no money.

Read Background Pony. It's by the same author as The End of Ponies, it's the same in terms of epic length and some of the best writing I've read. It's not grimdark, it's just pretty damn sad when it starts out. There are some darkish parts, but nothing gory or anything. Just gut-wrenching an tear jerking emotion.
