>>29043 It's Mother's Day so I guess that's a good enough segue into my other underrated episode, which is...you guessed it...Family Appreciation Day. This one's never been as hit-or-miss among fans as Baby Cakes and I've definitely seen more anons over the last few years praising it. Still, it tends to get overshadowed in show discussions by more memorable or memeable episodes. The most common criticism I think I've seen is that the lesson, or conflict, is a little too obvious: why doesn't Apple Bloom stop making such a big deal about Granny Smith and just get over being embarrassed? It's easy to judge as being much ado about nothing from an adult POV but, and this is personal experience speaking, I found it a relatable episode (even as an adult) since I've certainly been embarrassed by family members before...especially growing up as a socially conscious kid trying to fit in at school. I think the strength of the episode is that, while it may come off a little trite or contrived to some on first viewing, it really sinks in after watching it more than once. It grows on you. It's very introspective and not at all flashy in a way that few other episodes of the show are. The flashbacks are fun and don't feel distracting. In fact I really like all the effects and visuals around the zap apples; it's a visually interesting and well-shot episode for a very simple story. It also gave us one of the best pieces of background music in the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu5jqJ5IKNA And that brings me to my next point: it's the best Granny Smith episode in the show, at least in my opinion. She usually shows up in episodes more as a gag than an actual character, so it's refreshing to see her treated like a real pony with a real life and backstory. There are some other episodes that feature her in actual roles, but they're rare, and I don't think any of them do what this one does. Ridicule, fitting in, peer pressure - these are all really powerful factors in human psychology and this episode puts on a solid lesson about loyalty and learning to stand by people close to you even when it isn't convenient. Just like Baby Cakes, I think this is the type of episode that's FiM at its finest.

>>29455 Family Appreciation Day is actually one of my favorite episodes. I think it comes off as contrived on the first viewing because Granny never had a history of embarrassing her family members before, but then Diamond Tiara, an obvious bully, suggests to Apple Bloom that Granny Smith may be a kooky old lady, one that's going to make a fool of her in front of their entire class--and Apple Bloom just believes her. Suddenly, everything Granny does is embarrassing. This isn't unbelievable or ooc or anything like that, especially when a kid as young as Apple Bloom is your main character this time. But as viewers, we know that there's obviously going to be more to the story than that. Still, most of act two is spent on gags centered around Apple Bloom trying to keep Granny from attending Family Appreciation Day. The story beats around the bush here imo (it did give us Scootaloo in a bell hop outfit though. So cute!) The Zap Apple lore, learning about them, helps keep things more interesting than they would have been otherwise, while we wait for Granny's presentation. Like you said in your review, Granny was just a gag character before this episode fleshed her out. She was the eccentric old pony. And after they've established Apple Bloom's fear of being embarrassed by her, they leaned harder into that eccentricity than they ever did. Granny wears a bee beard, she starts talking to glass jars, etc. Of course later we learn that all this kookiness ends up serving different purposes, all of them related to making Zap Apple jam. Apple Bloom doesn't realize any of this though, despite the fact that she's been "looking forward to making Zap Apple jam for years." Growing up on the farm, you'd think that she would have asked about the pink polka dots in the kitchen at least once before. Granny also licks a chalkboard later on, but they don't explain that one. Anyway, the episode is great because Granny's story ends up being captivating. (She's conveniently lucid during its telling, never forgetting any details or tripping over her words or anything like that, not unlike some old people irl.) She was just trying to help feed her family when she went into the Everfree Forest. Instead she went on a journey that ended with her discovering the secrets of making Zap Apple jam. Listening to her, the class realizes that her story is theirs too. She founded their town, they wouldn't be sitting there right now if it wasn't for her. Diamond tries one last time to get everyone to see Granny the way she sees her; she tries to poison their view of Granny, like she did with Apple Bloom earlier. But Apple Bloom gets up in front of everyone and finally sticks up for her Granny. >"She is not a kooky old lady! She is the most amazing pony in all of Ponyville."

<spoiler> Father knows beast i think this episode could have been so much better if; Sludge was actually spike's father but instead he would become such asshole father and made spike realizing that twilight even she is not his real parent she is a better choice for him as a family -- instead of sludge saying: "spike i am not you're real father" , instead he said "i left you because i did not wanted to take care of you" -- other than that i think the episode was had an interesting idea i liked that it worked on the relationship between spike and twilight but it exceuted badly also at the end it should have been sludge getting his ass kicked by starlight for throwing her out of the window that would be so sattisfying -- what you guys think?

>>29477 Family Appreciation Day was amazing it given us that baby AJ also that raise this barn song which was amazing AB was cute too Granny smith was funny as well babs seeds come back also rainbow fruit bats are kinda interesting too

>>29478 there's something to that writers obviously realised the mystery behind spike's past, though there are way more interesting mysteries, like discord's beginning these little enigmas are sometimes discusses in comics though I feel like detailed story behind him could be explained in a simple two-part IDW comic On the other hand, some things are better when we they leave us guessing, such as picrel for Mombug explaining her past

>>27120 is the logo supposed to be purple or pink?

Hope you remember to use your merch.

Hopefully one of these days Hasbro will realize their true potential, invest all of their money into robotic ponies, and release a fully sentient marelovebot3000™. As for now though, the only pony merch I own is some manga.

>>29458 I agree with what the other anons here say when it comes to not complaining about 4chan all the time, so try not to bring it up too much, but either way I see what you're saying. A slower board isn't always worse, though it does depend on quality; wouldn't know much about that though, as I haven't been back there since the hack happened.

Anyway 7 players on sandbox

The glitched horde enemies (that I know of) are disabled until a more permanent fix can be made. Also I'm gonna go through the horde maps and fix them up or get rid of the ones you guys don't like. Please let me know if there are any specific ones you don't like.

Anyway 7 mares in tornado alley.

Why are the fics where the hie is nice so shitty but when the aie is nice its funny

>>29462 After having thought it over, I do have a few theories: The first being that aie, despite being called Anon, isn't actually trying to be a direct self-insert as much as hie; so he ends up just naturally being less obnoxious. Second theory could just be that Anon himself is more of a character than a blank slate, so there's more to work off of from the get-go, and making it less of an uphill battle for writers. Third and final theory, is that hie usually just requires more lore to work, so writers end up focusing too much on that, and not enough on their human characters, causing them to come off as awkward (much like my shitty writing). Sorry if you were expecting a meme answer. Here's a goofy gif.

>>29462 Oh, and this meme isn't that far from the truth. >We don't lack good HIE stories; we lack the literary giants to pen them. Any writer trying to make a hie story that isn't just shameless smut, would probably just be better off creating their own pony and human inhabited world, with its own lore instead.

Alright, made a few changes, and looked back at EZN's guide. Wrote a few more paragraphs to go with it too; so that I'm not just posting the same thing but slightly changed. Drip, drip, drip. A young Rainbow Dash sat bored and alone in the Cake families dark and rundown basement, unsure of what to do with herself as she waited for her friend. Letting out a small yawn, and looking down at the slightly damp floor, she wondered what could possibly be taking her so long to come back after she had left the basement; to get what she had called "a special new toy," for a new game that she had came up with. Dash knew that Pinkie was great at thinking up new games, and trusted her with making them; even if they could seem strange or even just end up being pranks (which she would always get back at her for). But even she wasn't sure about the current one, after Pinkie refused to tell her anything at all about it. All she currently knew was that she was tied with jump rope to a chair, made for foals half-her age, and behind a plastic pastel yellow table; with the game probably involving the three also tied-up stuffed animals that surrounded the other sides of the table.

>>29421 Ya, I know those feels. >>29435 Probably just going to finish up the story after this one, as it's not that long anyways.

I think I may have spaced things out a bit too much, but I'll leave the post up for you to judge.

Are physical copies of fics ever worth it, and if so, does anyone have any stories (preferably large stories) they'd care to recommend that are in print?

>>29438 Cheers. I probably won't be able to read through for a day or two but I'll try and drop some feedback when I can. >>29453 I don't mind the idea in theory, and groups like Ministry of Image make some really nice looking books, but in practice I have yet to see a fic print edition that I simply have to have. Fallout: Equestria? Past Sins? Anthropology? I'll have to pass.

>>1191 Oh to be Braeburn sucking pony cock

>>26846 I'm of the opinion that focusing less on the Mane six later on in the shows lifespan was actually a great idea, and they probably should have done it a bit earlier too; They just botched the execution with creature shit, rather than making interesting stories with the side characters.

>>29376 Its funny alot of shows or games suffer from character bloat, but FIM's problem is it doesn't use its character ensemble in any compelling, fun or grandiose way. We know little about any of the background characters, the interpersonal relationships of the main characters and their parents or sometimes siblings, little about the princesses etc.

>>28659 Who are the other members of the Pear family? I'm inclined to think they must be a large family like the Apples, and just as into pears and the Apples are into apples. I feel we got shortchanged by the show in that we didn't get to know this interesting family. Let's hash out who the Pear family is and create some lore for them. As a first step I'd like to propose that they settled in Ponyville at about the same time as the Apples, but maybe just a bit after.

>>29084 silly idea, but I'll add to the pot I believe their families were friends as some people liked pears and some liked apples without competition. However, Apples expanded their orchards fast and took most of the fertile spaces, slowly driving the Pears out.

>>29085 That seems rather vicious of the apple clan. Perhaps there was an era of "bad apples" that started this expansion and by the time Bright Mac and Pear Butter were foals, the damage had already been done (even though Granny Smith pribably had nothing to do with it) and there was basically a terminal fued between the Apple and Pear clans. I'd like to add a small proposal to the lore: Apple clan mares tend to have straight manes while Pear clan mares tend to have curley or wavey manes (like Pear Butter and OP pick: What's her name anyway? Cinnamon Pear?) What are the relative sizes of the Apple and Pear clans. I think overall (over wider geographic areas) they are the same size, but there were fewer Pears in the Ponyville area. Maybe that's why they couldn't snap up enough land to compete with the Apples.

>>29223 i didn't mean in in a way that apples were trying to drive pears out, but i like your theory

>>29224 Pearity

>>24857 guy on the left is the brain of the operation!

>>12641 I wanna recommend Gallant Bess. It's about another famous WWII horse, who actually appears in the film, and does some tricks with her real-life owner near the end. The story's about a total /ourguy/ who gets drafted into the army and has to leave his beloved mare behind. (He gets teased by the other guys because he's got her picture in his locker when they all have the >NOHOOVES, sucks to be them) Fair warning, the mare back home doesn't make it to the end of the film, but Gallant Bess shows up later to fill the hole in the poor guy's heart. 10/10 great horse movie. She's no Sgt. Reckless, but she served admirably and deserves to be remembered too. >>12558 I think it's all up on archive.org? Dunno if it's the original or the later edits where they cut the intro short for the VHS and DVD sets. (I fucking hated that)

>>24857 Here, anon. Sorry for the quality. Also, can some kind anon repost in /horsegen/? 4chan doesn't let post pics.

>>29203 That is lovely. Good job, Anon! I'll be showing that around.

>>29203 Very nice, Anon. I think that your skills are improving.

>>5450 I just had a dream my brother (for context, we're both adults and don't live in the same house) was throwing glass jars at me and then blaming me for breaking them when they would hit the floor and shatter. He then got really pissed off and tried to barge into my bedroom (where I was now taking shelter) and I told him, politely but firmly while barring the door, "Go away. We're doing sexo with Rainbow Dash in here." Though there was no Rainbow Dash in my dream and I wasn't having sex with anything at all. I don't think he stopped but the dream ended then and there. I had another similarly stupid pony dream recently but I can't remember that one unfortunately.

not really a pony dream, but... I did have this dream the night after playing Equestria at war I only remember a griffon sliding on a map and pushing other griffons out while saying "damn griffons, they ruined griffonia!"

Alrighty, my turn. Refer to pic I got into mlp a few months ago, with very limited initial knowledge, but at the point of the dream, I had watched up to mid-season 3 of FiM. Flash-forward to a few weeks back and I go off to sleep not thinking about anything MLP related. (At most playing the MLP mod in vintage story a few days prior with friends) >dream begins, description of the room/building: Immediately I am in a castle or some other large stone-block building, it gives off vibes that it was formerly in ruins, but recently has begun renovation. I am in a small room, which I would estimate to be around 7mx10mx10m (BxWxH) in size. The room also reminds me of the Iberian/Mediterranean throne rooms in Crusader Kings 3 (6/10 game imo). I believe I am sitting on some sort of throne, albeit a small one, which resides in the back left corner, with a half wall and column dividing the throne area and the left half/middle of the room. To my direct front, there is a decorative arch on the wall in front of me, but nothing special. To the left of that is a doorway, which is opened to a long hallway with large glass windows, and on both sides of the doorway there are 2 frescoes of the Sisters, with Celestia's being on the side closest to me. Hers has a purple outline showing her details (in the style of the show), with the grey-white of the stone used as color, while the inverse is true with the Luna fresco. On the wall to the right there is a carved mural that I cannot remember the specifics of, but I think Cadence and the Mane 6 were involved, laid in the same aged stone. >the big things I really noticed immediately after taking in the room: My height felt off, I do not think I was human, but I knew I was sitting at my standing human height of ~195cm. After this, Luna enters the room, with a look on her face that implied she was going tell/ask me something, but we were both interrupted by a noise in the room behind the throne room, which after looking over the half-wall, was an open door to a small library with a pile of books in the middle. Not a word was spoken, and after that I woke up.

I had a almost proper pony dream last night. I was walking into a toy shop in some mall and the whole center of it was dedicated to some mlp X Lego collaboration, with the grand piece being a huge ass statue of Twilight in her princes of Equestria dress.

actually just another dream lust night not sure how it started but i'm sure i took liking in riding regular horses but i didn't know how to stop them and my horse was only getting faster and almost ran someone over my friends also mocked me for liking horses only because I like mlp, to which i said yes

>>29179 even though they do look like testicles

>>29180 I don't see it. You're still terminally gay to see teats as such, maybe if you stopped looking at (and maybe liking) cocks and balls so much, that wouldn't be the case.

>>29182 I suppose we'll have to settle that we both have different reasons to lick them On the other hand? Did you sew them yourself or were they included?

I just want to say that the two of you are faggots do a flip

>>29126 Theres a scene from South Park of Randy hopping on giant balls. The teats are located in an area or drawn close to where balls would be, and are drawn absurdly large to the point of Adult Swim levels of parody.

>>29025 All tue new banners look great!

>>22881 still would hate it but about 5% less

>>2252 Twilight Sparkle stole my money

>>22881 I don't think she could be a princess unless she's an alicorn. But maybe she could be a Countess or Baroness, or something. >Countess Sparkle >Baroness Sparkle Has a nice ring to it I think.

The only truth, to speak otherwise is heresy.

Yup, peer-reviewed facts based on scientific research (They) won't recover from this

>>25696 Sounds comfy. Furries and fursuits should be banned from any pony evwnt by default.

>>29158 even pony fursuits?

>>24643 Pinkie Promise

Technological progress is so sporadic because when something is seen as good enough, like steam trains or film reels, it's simply settled on as a near unchanging standard. Sure, some places may have more advanced stuff present, but that's because a local pony had enough ingenuity to make something better and share it with their friends. Whether it then spreads from that localized area comes down entirely to if ponies from elsewhere both happen to see/use it and like it enough to want to bring it to their friends as well instead of just seeing it as something special this particular place has to itself. On a similar note, I think the feel like the tech-based aesthetic that would have the best chance of catching on and really sticking in Equestria would be cassette futurism. I base this on nothing more than it somewhat fitting with the notion of finding something that works well then leaving it alone I stated prior and its 80s era connection coinciding with the era that my little pony as a franchise started. >>3396 Like real life, facial expression will go a long way to helping make body language much clearer. >>14860 >Think how many other small valley towns like Ponyville there must be that the mane characters would have no reason to know about or reference. The tabletop gaming player in me sees this as a good thing because it leaves plenty of space in the setting for writers to carve out their own little spots. When deciding where one of my steel donuts came from I decided he hailed from a mountain village in the crystal mountain range about directly above where Manehattan is written on the map there.

>>3035 >>3038 >>3051 Ponies don't seem like the type of race that would field large, organized national armies simply because having that degree of a command and power structure isn't something they're able to do. Local militias and volunteer defense groups seem much more likely and only used for as long as they're absolutely necessary.

>>28930 yes, this. cutie remark shows equstria can be centrally mobilised if necessary. but practically, most rely on various elite forces, like pillars of equestria or elements of harmony, for concentrated tasks to avoid full-blown war

>>28910 >a lot of Anons are going to realize that they didn't miss the board and pony posting as much as they thought they would. A lot of anons' hearts aren't in it and haven't been for a while. I noticed this years ago and it's only gotten worse since. They would be happier and the board/thread quality would improve if they could just admit it and move on to somewhere else (another board, website, wherever) to post about hobbies/fandoms that they're actually interested in but for whatever reason most of them refuse.

I pretty much only browse here and /mlp/ Though I'm not crazy active given I'm pretty busy most days. I try and check into threads I engage in a few times per day at least.

>>28910 >After this break I think that a lot of Anons are going to realize that they didn't miss the board There's really not that much to miss due to how big of a shitshow it was, most threads I found interesting barely got any posts anyways. >>28923 >A lot of anons' hearts aren't in it A lot of anons hearts aren't in it because they're bots or were never there for ponies in the first place.

I hate anon much. me hope he die of explosive diarrhea. this me dream

>>29086 pls no. love me anon. somebody save him diarrhea!

>>803 The block bypass is intended to work as an alternative to captcha on every post (when board activity is low enough). Each bypass only buys so many posts before you need to get another one. I've been adjusting the site configuration for it over the past while. The way it is now set up, you should not be able to burn through a bypass before it expires due to age (and another one automatically requested). If you have issues, you can manually delete your bypass cookie to request another one. Sorry for the delayed response.

The next one will be Littlepip

Oh lol its weird how inactive this thread has been in the past week. I remember some slavs talking in the townhall when 4chan was down and they love thas fic

>>29003 I just think ponies with guns is overly silly, so it's hard to take Fallout Equestria seriously.

I really need to read it, I bought the Black Book years ago and it's just been a pony shelf display piece.

i remember reading FO:E several years ago, and at least three before being a brony, but finished about one-third in i was so impressed i was already a fallout fan and this was my first ever introduction to mlp if i were to read it again, i'd have to start over again, now that i know what "alicorn" is and who the hell is "pinkie pie"

Cadance you cant do anything right. And for that you wont receive a belly rub.

>>28927 fuck you I do what I want

>>28939 Would Cadance really enjoy belly rubs that much?

>>28934 based schizo drawfag

>>28940 She's smug, but insecure about her low pph.

>>28940 I agree that the smug coming out as necessary would be better, it would give her more depth and make her less one note. she's not my oc anyways so i can't choose her personality. >>28941 KEK thats funny

>>25195 Great pic but I gotta ask: have you ever see one of those videos with a cat or dog quickly and almost goofily running away from someone with a camera, all the while they're holding a overly large fish in their mouths? that's what this picture reminds me of for some reason; I can just picture her in my mind running with that thing, proud as can be.

>>21965 Really like both of these. >>22456 She's ready for the Guard.

>>28947 yeah that's fair, animals do be like that. I like to picture her as a merciless hunter who goes for the quickest and cleanest kills, shes a horse so it doesn't come naturally to her.

>>23868 >Image:Twilight caring for Anon. >Be Anon. Be transported to Equestria but somehow turned into a filly. >Nopony wants anything to do with Anon on account of wierdnsss and spergy nature. >Only pony that cares is autistic purple pony with a heart of gold. >She goes out of her way to take care of and orient Anon in Equestria. Would be so nice to feel loved and guided.

I still think that Anon Filly is at her best when she's just a pony with the mind of a shitposter; much better than isekai trash at least, and I feel that it's more creative as well.

>>26935 I'll never get used to the feeling of seeing my art in the wild

>>18827 i wish i could sniff under her tail.

>>27413 An episode about Marble Pie discovering her talent for carving out of rock could have been cool; maybe she'd make minis like in your pic.

>>24163 >My ideal episode would have been best gift ever but with the four pie sisters. Sounds fantastic honestly, I bet it'd work well too. >>26935 >Merrier Sounds tasty

>>26214 maybe it's an Anon who fucked off into the Everfree cause the fact it does its own thing without needing pony interference feels like home and lives like Zecora but not with her? he builds his own place with Zecora's help, gets to hunt small game so he doesn't have to go vegetarian and learns how to placate the larger stuff that would fuck him up easily if he looked at it wrong maybe they bond from their different methods of dealing with animals with Fluttershy literally just talking with them but Anon has to learn to understand them through body language (which has resulted in a few occasions of miscommunication) and how they enjoy their pseudo-isolationist/hermit lifestyles and nature throw in a timberwolf doggo as Anon's companion as a nice little bow on the whole thing

>>26581 Damn, Anon. That sounds very similar to some ideas that have been bouncing around in my head for a while. I'll try to write something then.

>>26762 I look forward to it

>being quiet is bad >because >because it just is, okay? What I wouldn't give for a Fluttershy episode where the moral is there's nothing wrong with her and it's all the extroverted ponies who need to learn to shut the fuck up.

>>22287 You don't see many great stories anywhere on the internet anymore; I remember back when the backrooms was fresh, and the posts that were getting made about it being fun to read. >>22293 >I'm still not going into the dark room in gm_construct though. You need-need me, you need-need me.

>>21059 Can she silly her way out of this one?

>>28812 Could you?

>>28812 Maybe she could cute her way out?

What would a mlp version of the backrooms even look like, endless Canterlot?

They get along great with each other and very much help one another out when it's necessary. It's a nice pairing honestly. They joint-rule Equestria, after all!

>>28700 I don't see them as opposites except perhaps in their special powers, and how they approach governance and use of power. In those, they are not opposite in bad ways, just in ways that complement each other or make up for each others weaknesses. Otherwise, they are similar in many respects. For example, I headcanon them as approximately the same physical size. Though, somehow it makes more sense in my mind for Celestia to have larger teats.

Problem is their lack of real scenarios and characterization. Or poor characterization like the dumb vacation episode or Starlight poochie switch cutie-marks ep. S2 and beyond Luna is also a sperg.

>Why do so many people try to make Celestia and Luna be opposites in everything just because they're Sun and Moon? You kind of answered your own question. Sun vs. Moon is a really obvious contrast of opposites, so people go for the low hanging fruit and fill in the blanks and assume the sisters are supposed to be polar opposites in everything else, even though they're not.

they share the same horse pussy and ponut
