Topic: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Ok, I laughed far more than I should have at that. Must be because I'm tired.

These Equestria Girly Girl dolls are really scary....and pink terminator alicorn Twilight Sparkle?
/Hides

Yay for those that got some thing pony related for Christmas! I didn't get anything, but that's ok. I get mostly what I want anyways when it comes to that for myself.

@Twilight_Crow Thanks for the suggestion, and yes, I do like some Button Mash. I just think the whole childhood crush thing is cute and sweet between him and Sweetie Belle. And I congratulate you on the animated doll. looking at one in the store, I was thinking how good, and much better, an animatronic Disneyland like attraction would be if done right. I don't think I'll ever get it though, but it has it's place.

@Gioku Equestria Girls I liked for what it was. The dolls, not so much... I agree with the gif. The most hideous things I've ever seen.

@GuardianKing Well, when you know someone likes to get those things, it kinda makes sense to get a gift.

@Discostew. Cool shirt to get, Monopoly too.

@Aqueous Thanks! I hope you had a good one as well.

And festive comic, because why not. It's still Christmas where I am.

....Merry Christmas! Or day after!
I haven't caught up with the last week(s?) of posts here, and I'm 3 episodes behind, but I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and celebrate the 1 year anniversary of our current role play. Yep, around this time last year I wrote some filler about Pinkie Pie getting a tart addiction and it's been rolling and crashing into walls and rolling again ever since. I'd like to thank everypony that participated in the RP (so far?) for contributing to our great story and for hanging in there even when things started to slow down due to our busy schedules. I'd also like to thank @Syrup for not being around to abruptly shut the RP down when things slowed down. I'm happy to see that the RP is slowly regaining steam, and I'm excited to see where we'll go when the RP finally (and hopefully) gets back to full speed.
Also, thanks for the birthday wishes last week, and I'm sorry I haven't been around. My life has given me little free time and I've chosen to spend most of that free time on Super Mario 3D World. I hope to catch up with the show sometime this week, then will come reading what I've missed in the thread and trying to keep active here. I love you guys, I used to think having friends over the internet was scary until I thrust myself into the Pony Room here at Nintendo Life. It's crazy how much a TV show and a forum thread have impacted my life. Here's to a bright future for this thread, for the RP, and for all of you guys.

/me raises glass.

@Lunapplebloom - I did thank you. Hope you had a fun day

Episode 11 synopsis has been released, and the long awaited rumor from Season 1 has finally come become a reality.

I give you.......Cheese Sandwich! Voiced by none other than Weird Al Yankovic.

@Discostew Weird Al? THE Weird Al? It's officially gonna be the best episode ever, mark my words~

Should we assume you linked the wrong image? Or even posting on the wrong board?

Happy weekend everypony!

Hope all had a Merry Christmas or any other celebration you do that day. Got some pretty nice presents during the week, SM3DW (that I am enjoying), 2 pony toys (including the giant Twilight only I like ), a plushie of Toothless and a PSN gift card.

New episode, yay. Bats!... I love bats, yay. Merriwether wrote it... no yay. It was ok, good animation and great designs, had nice comedy bits, but man that was a weird plot, funny thing is that it was well paced, well structured and made sense, but something just didn't seem right at first sight. Need to watch a few times and comeback to you with my thoughts.

@Discostew I assume wrong thread. Though how someone can confuse this to that is a little beyond me.

@ToastyYogurt Your welcome for the wishes, and I know, right? Though my involvement with anything internet related on boards was here first, I had the same kind of feeling. Here is to more RPing to come! _{Which I really need to get to...}

@Aqueous Thank you Aqueous. It was a fun day, though not quite what I expected at first. But more of a good surprise, then bad.

@Twilight_Crow I'd like to thank you for your recommendation again. The story was a simple tale with some predictable points, but my was it good, and hit the spot for my Hearth Warming spirit. And I still think Sweetie Belle and Button pairing is great, and it captured it perfectly.

And today's episode was top notch in my opinion. I enjoyed it thoroughly. More details later though perhaps. Right now, it's time to RP.

'Oh no you don't' Luna thought, as she prepared for anything to occur once Discord looked like he had readied himself for more mischief. Then, in the most nontheatrical way, he went crossed eyed a few times, and sat back in his seat, mumbling to himself. Luna cocked her head for a moment, puzzled, before returning to a non battle stance, and seeing her true form return. "Good thing you came to your senses, Discord, or I would have blown you right out of this train car." she declared in a triumphant voice. She then heard a voice over the intercom "Arriving at Las Pegasus. Please grab your belongings before leaving the train car and have a nice day." As the crackling left the Speaker, she felt like a little victory party was starting in her body. 'Huzzah!, I shall find you yet, Celly', she thought as she turned her head to see if Twilight was returning, and sure enough, she was. Another pony was walking down the train corridor behind Twilight as well. She thought she had saw her before, but wasn't certain at the distance. Shaking her head lightly, she then called to Twilight, "Come along, Twilight Sparkle. We must move quickly if we are to find my sister soon." She then looked out the window, seeing the lights of Las Pegasus flashing in splendor, before whispering to herself, "I'm coming..."

So new year next week, need to step up my fanfic game for tonight.

FoTW

Tonight I bring you one very interesting piece, and its Hearth's Warming special . The ==Fic of The week== proudly presents:

Whom the Princesses Would Destroy... by GhostOfHeraclitus
[OnFimfiction Slice-of-Life Complete Teen]
Twilight Sparkle is making a surprise visit to Canterlot. To her and Princess Celestia, it is not a big deal. To the ponies of the Equestrian Civil Service, it is twenty-four hours of chaos, politics, weaponized dessert, politics, underhooved manipulation of media, politics, and eldritch things batrachian and tentacular. Who said bureaucracy isn't exciting?

This right here is a wonderful piece that tells the complicated side of simple story and does it rather well. Equestria's politics are a big mystery that will probably remain untouched by the show, so much potential for the chaos that is the ruling of a country, even if ruled by an immortal Princess; she can't do it all after all. How does it all work and who are the ponies that bravely do bureaucracy and paperwork in a world where a long lost Immortal Princess can return and turn the tea table of the whole government?
Presenting one of the most rounded OCs I've read: Cabinet Secretary Dotted Line, a hardworking pony that cares deeply for his duties and knows how to fix problems (or invents how), but it all makes him so cranky, and he suffers, even physically; oh how he suffers. This protagonist is everything a good character must be.
Splendid Writing.

And, of course, Dotted Line's Hearth's Warming special:

A Canterlot Carol by GhostOfHeraclitus
[OnFimfiction Slice-of-Life Complete everyone]
The business of government never stops, and paperwork never rests, even on Hearthwarming. But this particular Hearthwarming, Cabinet Secretary and tea enthusiast Dotted Line plans to do his level best to see it, at least, take a break. His ponies need to go home to their families, and he, well, he has plans this Hearthwarming.

This is a simple, touching piece about people wanting to go home for the holidays. It is sweet in a warming way and puts a special light on how even these government workers are still ponies of this magical world.
Splendid Writing.

And art, because it is beautiful:

I had a dream last night that this thread got locked, and I couldn't figure out why, hahaha. I was completely baffled! ...and then I woke up, and everything's OK.

I hate to say this, but the Weekly Derp will not continue. I've just... lost interest in MLP. I won't look at this thread that much either, so... Stay Derpy My Friends.

@The-Wind-Pikpik - Don't worry. I was close to leaving myself recently. Come back any time, I'll miss the Derpy art a bit but have fun in your internet travels.

@Gioku - lol, that almost happened before. Look for older posts in the threads history if you dare, you might find many dead images but there are still wonderful things hidden in there and even things forgotten.

@The-Wind-Pikpik No worries. It is sad to see you go, but it is just your time I suppose. I really enjoyed all the Derpy art, and will miss your charm around here. Stay well my friend. (btw, can I add you on Wii U?)

@Gioku Haha. I know I had a dream like that once myself actually not long after I started chatting here. I hope this place never befalls that. Such good times were forged in this wonderful corner of the internet, and a few close calls too.

@Twilight_Crow Absolutely stunning piece there. I love it when they crank out art like that. And both stories marked.

And a little video to wrap up the year with. Some good moments to remember, and some not so much, but a great watch.

I really liked this week's episode... I didn't suspect that they would do the second half, nice suprise.
Also, this fandom sure works fast... Its amazing, but don't click this if you haven't seen Bats! yet.

@Thewindpikpik Dont worry mate, interests come and go. They always seem to come back to me. Anyway, i really appriciated the weekly derp. It was really fun while it lasted. Have a good day!

I've decided to provide one final derp. I think it's fitting for the occasion.

By afkrobot.

Thanks for supporting my decision to leave.
@Lunapplebloom Sure. My friends list is open to all NLers.

See ya @Thewindpikpik.

@Aqueous: Just so happens that I did a Google search (I don't remember what for) and found this picture that just happened to come from this forum:

• I like Rarity
• I like Rosalina

Therefore this is the greatest thing ever!
