Unsure if this has already been posted, but it's the best comic in this entire fandom.

If nothing else (and I think that they are awesome even if they are just clips from the show with a Hub logo at the end), the new commercials show just how awesome the show will look on Blu Ray. Blows the 720p set out of the water, even ignoring the fact that the colors are correct in the commercials.




So, let's check ED to see how deep the hole I've dug myself into is now:

Though I'm purposely holding off Progress and Five's Company until TNTNE updates. I got one of those "feelings" that they'll both be needed this time.

Which still means I got three stories to read, including two Dangerous Business chapters. Dumb laziness. I can only be thankful that there wasn't a Drawfriends last night.



I see you there in that viewer list Toro.

EDIT: Damn, he left as I posted this.

She still deserves a swift kick to the head for what she did to Fluttershy, but after that I'd gladly accept her apology.
I've read several Gilda sadfics and I still don't like her in the slightest (probably due to "Fluttershy is my waifu" syndrome), so meh. Don't get me wrong: An apology would be acceptable, but she was such a massive bitch that I doubt one would be forthcoming without extensive rewriting of her character.



And besides, time spent redeeming Gilda is simply time wasted by not being about Trixie.

I still wouldn't like her, but I wouldnt have a strong desire to smash her face in with a brick anymore either.

I just don't like Gilda at all, pure and simple, but if she did apologise and if she actually showed remorse for what she did, then I would probably accept her apology. It still wouldn't change the way I feel about her though.

I read Five's Company last night. I won't spoil anything, but deciding to read it after part 14 of TNTNE would be a good idea because it's funny as hell. I should have done the same thing to be honest, then again, I still haven't read the latest part of he Vinyl Scratch Tapes, so at least I have something more uplifting to read after TNTNE.

But she would still need to apologize first; and if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas. Even Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel couldn't find a plausible reason to have Gilda apologize for her actions, and that tried (far too hard in places) to explain everything she did in the episode.

I mean, I don't actively hate her anymore (and I admit that is purely for fanon reasons, Junior Speedsters Forever in particular, so I probably should still hate her), but that's not exactly the stuff redemption is made out of.





I kinda want to boot up Sim City 4 again so I can do stuff like this (among other reasons):

Spike Boulevard would definitely be the "rape street" of my city.



I also want to boot up GTA IV to see if that is actually named that in the game.
 
Instead of posting a massive irrelevant picture like I usually do,instead,I will use that massive space to elaborate in something that I haven't talk about,yet everyone have discuss quite a lot.

Cupcakes,to be more precise,one part of the fanfic,which applied an interesting moment to the story,now,allow me to elaborate(if you are not interested don't read this,I feel like beating a dead horse,and this was discussed here at length,so,if you aren't really interested,don't bother):

Now,if you're bother with watching this and have a slight interest in my opinion of the story itself,then that's not far away from everyone's thoughts,Cupcakes is some sort of mental self-pleasing for the twisted thoughts of the author,its very visual,and if you get down to it,is just a cheap saw-ripoff.

However that is what pretty much everyone what everyone thinks and I didn't use this space to point that out,what I want to point out is a section,this might sound a bit stupid,but there is a section in cupcakes that really got me thinking,and seriously struck me in the second reading run(Of the revised version),this is the segment that I'm talking about:

-“I want to go home,” Dash sobbed-

You might wondering what kind of relevance has over the stupidity that cupcakes represents,well,from about 20 to 30 fanfics that I have read thus far,I haven't seen a single one that addresses accurately the ageing and mental response of a pony so accurately,how so,the age of an average pony can be rounded to 17 to 21,and some fanfics uses a 21+ age for its characters,but cupcakes does point out a probable response from someone that can be from a 17-19 years old.

That segment didn't really affect me,not at first,but in the second run it really got me thinking,and actually it struck me so hard that I stop reading and made me stare at the roof ceiling of my apartment,just thinking about the whole concept and its impact when you realized of the object use for its realization.

With that said,I think that I should write this instead of keeping it to myself,maybe it will serve as feedback for writers who bothers with to reading this,or maybe I could be wrong about it and has no relevance on the story whatsoever,but is something that I wanted to share with anyone who could be interested in Cupcakes in a more critical/analytic background.

I read the different opinions on this fanfic on this web site,which happens to be in about the time(well,in fact before)when I re-join activities on forums,I tried to avoid the whole grimdark topic after reading cupcakes(by the time I read cupcakes I was starting activities on this forum,about middle may),but, after reading plenty of other fanfics(good ones and bad ones)I have to say that Cupcakes has that little bit that makes it something peculiar,and never got in quite well back at the time.

@CoffeeGrunt

And I will read the update once I get clear of the British Grand Prix,this thing got me thinking a bit more than I expected.
 
I was largely unaffected by cupcakes, it being the first fanfic I read. I simply can't be bothered to look back through it again. So many other good fanfics I could be loking up.

And I will read the update once I get clear of the British Grand Prix,this thing got me thinking a bit more than I expected.

Update of what? :S
 
Oh, oh cool. In all honesty, it falls pretty flat imo. It simply exists to bridge the gap for the suequel, which the barebones planning doc alone spans three pages. Hopefully it'll pay off.
 
News from BronyCray.

July 10th: I got distracted. Chapter 14 is about 2 sentences from being done, I just can't write them to save my life. I might have to change a fair bit to work around that, but I've got half a jug of iced tea next to me so that's my project for tonight.

Maybe.

You see, I've been writing another story on the side for a couple days now. It's a one shot and inspired by a song, and I'm gonna see if if it's good enough to get on EqD without using my status as a prereader to get a foot in. If it gets approved, I'll upload it here too. So, I'll be finishing one of these two things tonight, and I'll let you know which one it was in the morning.

EDIT: I JUST FOUND OUT THAT SOUND OF SILENCE IS THE NAME OF A SONG. I feel like an idiot. Also, it's a very good song, even it has nothing to do with chapter 12.
 
Writer's block aaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh.

Oh, oh cool. In all honesty, it falls pretty flat imo. It simply exists to bridge the gap for the suequel, which the barebones planning doc alone spans three pages. Hopefully it'll pay off.
So I must ask, before I read it: Is the most recent one as soul-crushing as the first two parts were?











So I rewatched Party of One this morning (because when you wake up at 6AM because you went to bed early there isn't a whole lot else to do when there is nothing on HBO and the B-Spec enduro you started won't be over for a few more hours. I alternated between Ponies and episodes of Archer for 4 hours, and it was awesome).

You know, Party of One is a pretty damn awesome episode. Its no A Dog and Pony Show, but I think it could be a Top 3 episode. I had always found it funny for the obvious meta reasons, but there is actually a lot of really funny straight humour in it as well. That scene where AJ and Pinkie have the stare-down was funny to watch, but it wasn't until I watched it this morning that I heard the Unsound Effects that everyone was making while those two were doing it. Absolutely awesome.

Party of One is one of my top 5 favourite episodes, but Sonic Rainboom is still number one, with Bridle Gossip being my second favourite.


Anyway, here's a second video showing the evolution of a scene in an MLP episode:

 
YESSSSS!

This went on my phone almost instantly.
I actually just found an app that allows me to have a different picture for all 5 of the sections on my phone, so I can have all but one.....I guess I'll leave out Pinkie Pie for now.

Not...reallly, I'm trying to pull Trixie out of the gutter. Literally in fact. The next, and penultimate, chapter has a happy ending. Which I'm pretty chuffed with.

@Chariots

Episode 19's name got leaked, Putting the hoof down. Not much else though.

Also Party of One is my favourite. Purely because I love Pinkie Pie and it expanded the character so much. It also made her really cute in a weird way, and the voice acting is just awesome.
 
Just finish the last chapter of I Wont See You Tonight.

And there is not too much to say about it,it works as a bridge for the sequels and well is quite interesting,not as sad as the second episode in my opinion.

Also:

I have seen plenty of Luna parks in many places(Maybe she open several franchises using her name[that joke is dreadful forget about it]).
 
@Akira

Yeh, I wasn't really aiming for sad this time around. I feel it's gunna be a weak link, but hopefully the next chapter'll compensate.

I wish I was there to see it.
 
That constellation is Canis Major, not Minor.
French haute couture, please.
Eeeh...
What if it rains? Galoshes!

- That brings up an interesting point...How does Fluttershy know what France is? To that extent, what is Equestrian France like?
