@Nathan_Wv10 The best way to start watching this generation of ponies is to take the previous ones, and shove them to the side. Much of the hate and ridicule for MLP:FiM is not even with the show, but past generations that they try and link together with this one to prevent themselves from watching it in the first place. Just start it with an open mind.
This past episode
I found it good. The "Really?" look that Spike gave, and the way Rarity and Applejack tried not being themselves. This was a total Rarity episode, even if she shared the spolight, because she in-the-end stole it. I had quite a chuckle with her "I wear droopy drawers!" and "I love to roll in the mud!" bits. I do agree that Pinkie Pie is getting rather.......absurd. I will say though that when she is actually a part of the episode rather than off-to-the-side, she's a good character. It just seems when it doesn't involve her, she goes into crazy mode, doing anything and everything wacky. I like wacky, but I also like a healthy dose of calmness too.
Hmm! I just noticed a poster on the wall on my way out of school today; there's apparently going to be a Brony Club! ...I might just have to check that out.

Cool. I wonder if Sacramento State is going to have another brony convention this year. Their first one last year was not too shabby.
So according to Hasbro, this generation of MLP is going to last 5 more years.
Which means, 5 more seasons! But of course, i do wonder if G5 will be any good.

I don't know how long I can keep going with this show. 9 years seems a tad ambitious for a show of MLP's intended audience, but then again, this is no ordinary little girl's show, and we've seen full well that MLP has been shifting ever-so-slightly to appeal more to the bronies. And with many of us being fathers, it's very likely that our children will continue to love the show, even as they grow older, so there's no reason to think it /can't/ sustain itself for 9 years. It's more a question of whether or not it'll continue to be good for that long.
As for EqGi 2, I can't say I'm sad. I think it'll be just as good as the first. Dunno if I like this rock motif, since rock and ponies don't mix well, for me, but who knows. shrug
The picture says it all.... **hugs**
May I just say.. Live action gummi in that episode with weird al... :3 Best. Episode. Ever! Even if I don't like musicalish stuff that much. XD
Hope all is well~ **waffles away**
Happy Hearts and Hooves day! This is a bit late, but what can ya do.
@Twilight_Crow thank you. I guess I could make it more of deal maybe, like you do with your Fic of the Week posts. And make it a little more timely in having the impression earlier than later. Nice comic though , and will maybe take a look there. I haven't played Chrono Trigger myself however, so I may need to skip for now. Missed the stream though, sorry to say. Looked like it would have been good fun though.
@Aqueous I wouldn't place simple ways that low (Daring Don't is my least favorite of the season for it's show universe altering ramifications), but not the very best of the season.
@Gummio What a lovely picture. Thanks for making it.
@CorporalPegasus I guess I could see it going that long, but I do wonder if the quality will still be there after all that time. I guess well all see together. and thanks for the movie heads up, even though it wasn't quite the movie it was hoping they would finally make... cough*Ponymovie*cough still I'm interested to see what becomes of this and how it turns out.
@Gioku and Discostew wish I could find one of those where I am. I that I'll ever get to some even like that unless I travel far it seems. Hope you find a nice group there though Gioku.
Alright, and now for my thoughts on the last episode Simple Ways.
i gotta say that I liked this episode a lot. It really reminded me of Rarity and Applejack's first dual staring episode way back in season 1, Look before You Sleep, but with crushes added. Granted it's all very much tried and true as Twilight_Crow stated as far as plot goes, bit this was never to be taken as a serious story. This one was for the laughs, and I feel this one didn't disappoint. Rarity was fantastic as always, especially because of her voice actor having so much range in her vocal performance. And gotta love Applejack's Duck face. Seems that her and Pinkie are related after all. only things I didn't really like was that Pinkie was just to out there a couple times for my taste, but it does not hurt the episode. Not the best episodes of the season I think, but as a simple story with comedy, it's a good watch.
I think I'll give it... Huzzahs! - 8/10
Can't wait to see tomorrow's episode.

@Lunapplebloom I will be sure to give a report on it when I go! I know there are plenty of MLP fans at my school; I haven't met too many of them before, though. There is one kid I met who's a few years younger than me, and he wears a Pinkie Pie hat to school quite often!
...and he just so happens to have the same name as me: Anthony! ...I think we'll make good friends.
...and I think they could use me, anyway — their poster is a little... not the greatest.
@Gioku Alright, I look forward to your report! And awesome that someone has the same name.
@Moorpheel I'm not to sure about all of that anymore. I'm sure perception is out there yet, but I think it's become a bit more overall accepted. Still, there is alot of room for improvement.
As for today's latest, I loved it. Not sure where it stands yet, but was overall a great episode. Here is the youtube link for those that may have not seen it even though the link goes dark in about a weeks time.

Oooh, i loved this week's episode! Cute Fluttershy singing! And it refrenced back to one of my favourite episodes from all the way back to Season 1! Altough every episode does make me question Pinkie's sanity more and more...D:
@Morpheel Can't speak for America, of course, but here most people forget what a brony is way back in 2012. And still...I doubt most "cool, mainstream" people remember what a brony is even a week after a random TV/Radio report.
@lunapplebloom@corporalpegasus At least, from what I can tell on the internet; while being a [n older, male or female] MLP fan is completely cool and ok, the term "brony" is often used to refer exclusively to the negative part of the fandom.
Anyway, new episode! Lets watch.
After watching:
a bit too musical for my tastes, but it was pretty fun! Big Mac singing, Flutterguy, Fluttershy dissipating into nothingness from exposure, it surely had a bit of everything, even if Pinkie was a bit too annoying.
...and it made me remember one of the most embarrassing moments in my life, because it played out almost exactly like it did with Fluttershy....except it didn't result in the same way. In elementary school, I went on a field trip to a forested area to do research on bugs (don't ask me why because I don't remember), and I found myself all alone at one point. Looking for various bugs. I started humming tunes of Les Miserables because at that time, my family was obsessed with it. Then it turned to singing. I turn around minutes later, and there were two girls just staring at me. I didn't run away. I just froze. If my pupils could shrink like Fluttershy's eyes could, they would have. They had odd looks on their faces, but then left. I couldn't tell if they were giggling or whatnot. To reemphasize, I was in elementary school, so my singing was nothing like you'd hear from something professional like Les Mis. Nobody mentioned it afterwards, so I can only assume the girls didn't blab about it to their friends. This is the first time I ever mentioned this event to anyone.
As for the episode...
I liked it. I did my fair share of cringing when Fluttershy got found out on multiple accounts (because I can relate to it), but it was very enjoyable. A bit too much music as was mentioned by Moorpheel. Rather interesting that they got Big Mac singing more than he speaks (and still go about interrupting him when he attempts to simply speak). That moment with Applejack and Big Mac going over the situation is just typical humor. Gave me a good chuckle. After watching it, I checked the credits, because I wanted to see if the original "Flutterguy" (Blu Mankuma) did the voice for at least the speaking parts, but sadly, it seems someone else (Alvin Sanders) did the parts, with another (Marcus Mosley) filling in for the singing. Blu seems to be credited in iMDB after the main list, but the credits on the video don't mention him at all.
Happy weekend everypony! And hope you all had a happy Hearts and Hooves day!
Equestria Girls 2 uh? Whatever, as long as they don't stop making the original MLP:FiM show, I am fine with this going on. Hope it is fun and dumb as well as the first.
@Lunapplebloom Yeah, we need a real Pony movie. Well, five years is a long time, they may decide to make one.
@Gioku Watch it with an open mind, Pinkie Pie may be a bit over the top, but there is a reason and is not stupidly out there. And good luck with that Brony Club. They will love your art.
OH MY FREAKING CELESTIA!!1! Today’s episode, Filli Vanilli, was awesome! I)^3^(I
My favorite Fluttershy episode ever without a doubt. This one was a doozie of a story and some music. Daniel Ingram, Amy Keating Rogers, I LOVE YOU!
So yeah, this episode had it all, great music, adorable Fluttershy, the return of Flutterguy, cleverly written Pinkie Pie (Yes I know she was a bit exaggerated, but this fourth wall breaking was clever and not just out there, shame people won't notice because stupid Pinkie in other episodes), BigMac singing, and to top it all Twilight used her wings... again, can you believe that? Seriously though, I wasn't expecting what we got here (specially since I had no idea what the episode was about because I avoid any kind of previews), I was amazed by the creativity shown. We all knew Fluttershy sings, but it is true that she'd never done it on a stage, and for her, stage fright was a given. So as soon as I saw the faces of the rest of the mane 6 after the prologue's song, I knew what the episode will be about, but I wasn't expecting how they went for it.
There where so many little details that made an ordinary trope into a great story. Lot's of comedy without it actually being in your face. The rest of the cast not just being there but actually contributing when needed (lol AJ interrogating BigMac was just perfect). But the best things were the unexpected. Big Mac a singer? Mind blown! Zecora suggesting the use of Poison Joke? I thought about it as soon as a saw her, but never imagined they would go for it.
As for the basic plot, the trope was predictable, but Fluttershy's conundrum was realistic. Fluttershy still afraid of being the center of attention can't go away easily, if you know any person like that you know how hard it is. I am glad that while she's shown an improved assertiveness, showed in this episode when she blatantly saying "NO" to Rarity when she asked her to sing with her, we can also see that there is long way to go for her to confortably stand in front of a crowd. It was a good lesson though, you have to face your fears and do what you love, but you can do it at your own pace.

Haven't had time to read lately. D: So let me put something nice an simple that has to be recommended. Tonight on the ==Fic of The Week:==
First Hours by Pen Stroke
[On Fimfiction Slice-of-Life Complete Everyone]
Touch, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Sight
This is the order the five senses develop in for foals as they grow, cradled in the warm safety of a mare's womb. For this one foal, her womb was a thorn bush in the dark of night. For this one foal, the safety and warmth that should have introduced her to the world was replaced with pain and cold.
These are Nyx's first hours.
Past Sins is, and will always be, a big part of the Brony community beginnings. One of the first quality Fanfictions that fans followed hungrily on EQD. When Pen Stroke decided to publish a small print run of the book with the help of Equestrian Publications, tha resultant book was a work of love, with great quality (I have actually seen the book in person, it is beautiful).
This little story was an extra that the author put in the book as a thank you to all who ordered their copy. Now that some time has passed he decided to post the little story for everypony to read.
This is the tale of Nyx's birth told in her point of view; a sneak peek into the little pony's mind. If you have read Past Sins, it is a must. And if you haven't read it, give this one a read, it will introduce you to its universe, and maybe you will decide to give the full story a go.
As usual, amazing writing.
And... How long has it been since I last posted Celestia?
Too long, that is how. Here:
@Twilight_Crow well, at least you've gotten me excited with saying that this is a good Fluttershy episode (you guys should know by now what I think of Fluttershy... and Rarity... XD), so I probably won't get too hung-up on Pinkie Pie's... well, obnoxiousness, too much.
...and maybe this club will get me motivated to continue some of my pony-related artistic endeavors!
I'll let you all know what I think of the episode soon (I'll be watching on 3DS again; hopefully next week I'll have my laptop working again and/or catch it on TV)!
Also, I've said it before, but I seem to have an odd emotional connection to Fluttershy... Now, I've watched my fair share of cartoons and movies and such, and I have never connected to a character like I've connected with Fluttershy... and that's saying something. I don't feel emotions with other characters like this... I feel happy when she's happy, I feel really bad when she gets upset or sad and especially when she cries... I see so much of myself in her, too... it's kinda cool, actually. It's a compliment to the people who make the show that they've created a character that has affected me like this.
Anyway, about the episode specifically:
There are so many parts of this episode I'd like to get freeze frames of to make avatars out of! Especially that one part where Fluttershy and Rarity are leaning on each other — I'd love to have that as an avatar. :3 (if someone could get that picture for me to crop I'd love it! )
Everything was so cute this episode, and as soon as they mentioned needing a bass, and Zicora started laughing... I knew exactly what was coming! XD
...it's so easy to use Fluttershy as the butt of jokes, but you wouldn't think it! XD
...Pinkie Pie kinda got on my nerves a little extra for making Fluttershy feel bad, though, but at least she seemed a little more subdued than usual.
Anyway, this episode is now tied for first for me with the previous episode.
"If you don't have anything nice to say, say it in the nicest way possible" is not how the saying goes. Besides, wasn't s/he in this thread causing trouble before and ended up getting modded? How silly is it to come back to the scene of the crime?
