Thread: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

It reminded me that people who aren't bronies need to jump in here and get started. I understand that a lot of bronies are all, "Oh, don't bother people with it". I appreciate that, I do. They're being tolerant. That's good.

But at the same time, you don't find a 3 ton pile of gold in a room that's disguised as a doll house, and then leave people alone just because they don't want you to badger them to come check out something they think will be too girly to find enjoyment in. The show is freaking awesome, and sometimes, you have to get on people to watch it. I don't approve, no, of constantly being annoying and badgering, but sometimes you have to remind them once every week or two, or ask them if they've seen any yet. Sometimes they don't believe you about the 3 tons of gold until you take them there and show them it.

OR, in the case of my friend Adam, send him a PM on Facebook with an episode, tell him to stop wussing out, and watch it. Then when he complains, you just say,

"[Friend's name].

Watch the damned ponies. Jesus."

I totally agree. I believe there's a line between being a complete in-your-face annoyng twat that pushes stuff down your throat constantly, and being a normal person who happens to be passionate about a thing and wants to share it. Maybe there's a few of the first kind within the brony community. We also have the bunch who keep it completely to themselves. But it seems that outsiders have simply figured that anyone who even mentions it are just as bad as those who literally force it on you.

There's a lot of hypocrites. On another forum I'm often on, mentioning MLP basically always, consistently, spawns a shitstorm. There will always be some guy who says that he isn't annoyed with bronies for their hobby, but because they keep shoving it down other people's throats. Yet there hasn't been a single case of that since the fad was new, and the only people throwing it about are the haters, seeking to mock it. It seems that there are special conditions for MLP. If you have a game, a movie or any other show that you are enthusiastic about, you're welcome to reference it, talk about it and recommend it. Not MLP though.

But meh, I haven't had this problem. Most people I know don't watch it. They don't hate on it either, so I don't mind. If they were to start saying shit about it, I'd strongly recommend them to just watch it, but as of now it just seems like they simply aren't interested, which is fine by me.

And yeah this episode was fantastic. Actually this seems like a good episode to show to non-bronies to demonstrate just how action-like it can be. But of course, that would also set some unrealistic standards because there are episodes like Look Before You Sleep and what-not, so yeah

Well after only watching the pilot episodes I thought there would be plot episodes like this all the time, but I wasn't turned off after ticket master, and found myself watching apple buck season, and so on. Also, action episode, you say? (I seriously need to watch it. When everyone's asleep. Muahahaha...)

I can't safely express my love for the season finale.





















Or my overwhelming sadness upon realizing that there will be no new pony episodes.

Well, Season 3, rite?

Oh dear, the wait between season 1 and 2 was made easy due to Fallout Equestria. It seems like the wait between 2 and 3 is going to be awfully lacking in the pony department.
Pffffft, nah, lurkin' Equestria Daily 'n ponibooru 'n maybe ponychan. Erryday.

The day that I can truly look on and say "No, new pony episodes," I will physically rip the heart from my chest.

*Cough.*

Maybe that's a bit of hyperbole, but I'll probably be so sad I get HEART-BURN. THAT'S JUST BAD.

Then CRY. AND EAT. AND CRY.

By the way, ever since those last few posts about pixel art, I've been trying to make some. It's not working.

LIVE MY BRONIES!!! LIVE!!!

But... The way you said it is fine. Your comma saves us.

NO!
NEW PONY EPISODES!

This shall be our words as the "last" season concludes. And it will be true. (!)

Between lifeinsteps' art here and my recent obsession with Homestuck, I'd have to admit that I've been doing the same.
Eh, indeed it isn't really working. But if shit starts going wrong, you can just turn it around and pretend it was supposed to be like that all along.


i told oyu about ponies, dog

All the tutorials are ridiculous, I mean look at this:



How am I supposed to follow that?

There's no text accompanying this 'tutorial'?
Looking at that, it actually looks pretty simple, if it wasn't for the fact that picking the right colors is god damned impossible.

Except for the wrinkly details. That's just bullshit.

No, there wasn't any text at all. I started making an applejack sprite, and it looks kinda neat... Not amazing, but still OK.

Ho ho!
Do post it when it's done or something :3
And drawing a character of any sort is probably a lot more complicated than drawing a mushroom ;P

It's just... that coloring.

Wait, wait, zoom that out a bit? A bit more? Ah!

I think I see your problem:



But in all seriousness, pixel art is as hard as crap. Really, really hard. Don't let that discourage you though. Just keep pluggin'. Don't be ol' Lifeinsteps. Starting up projects like a week ago and then stopping because it's hard.

I need to work on that some more. Like I said before, though, I'm trying to work on this song for my buddy with his lyrics. And now he wants me to sing a part in another song for him. It's not like I have to do anything for any of it, of course, but ART. It's what I like to do.

Ironic that I'm going to be going, more than likely, into computer programming.

I've been known to put a comma where I shouldn't when I'm talking on the phone while posting. I do it all the time. What a weird trait.

But yeah, if I can ever actually look on and be DISAPPOINTED that there's a new pony episode, I really will rip the heart out of my chest. That's not even hyperbole. I will literally rip it out.

Here it is. :\

Well that's pretty fucken' sweet. !
I gotta try to do something like this. Why are y'all so artsy. I'm still in dire need of some energy drinks but with pure motivation instead of caffeine.

Maybe if I just stick with being deliberately horrible, I won't have to worry about whatever the hell it is that's stopping me...

Oh god, I laughed unhealthily hard. How did you get the colors on the pallette to be the same as the painting pixel art?

Do it! Go on a creative rampage! Have you tried music? You strike me as the musical type.

Just pure luck that they matched.

That Applejack pixel art is SO. AWESOMMMEEE~

I'm sure you must be awesome. Most people who are actually artistic are concerned that they're not. You're probably DaBoss. I'm not an artist. I just do art stuff, sometimes.

If I could fool myself into thinking I could make music for JUST long enough... (sinister plot is hatching).

I disagree with your semantics. Being an "artist" doesn't take rising above a certain bar. *especially* if that bar is defined as 'professionalized'.

@Taffy - The pixeljack looks great!
