My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Brief Introduction
Spoiler
Show
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a reboot of the MLP franchise by Powerpuff Girls artist Lauren Faust, currently viewed by (almost) the entire Internet, not only the intended audience. Here is a place where we discuss the joy of friendship.
> My Little Pony? Seriously?
It's a clever show. It has excellent writing, character dynamics, humor, animation, and generally treats kids seriously rather than condescending to them. It has every right to be a 20 minute corporate committee designed infomercial, but it's not.
> Isn't this a show for little girls?
Pixar technically makes shows for little boys, and produce some of the best animation in the world.
> Okay, fine. I'll give it a try. Where do I start?
No Brony could ask for more. I recommend watching the episodes in order. They're all up on Youtube. Unusually, Hasbro seems fine with having the entire series up in public because they've made no move to bring down any of the episodes. Search for "Friendship is Magic Episode 1" and you should find the series pretty easily... Or search for "Sharing is Magic" Google Doc. That is all.
> Okay, I'm going to watch it but this had better live up to the hype!
Whoa, calm down there. The show is light hearted, optimistic fun but it's not for everyone. It's good fun, the community is good fun, and everyone can do with a reminder that friendship is magic but if it doesn't gel for you we'll love and tolerate you anyway. Plus, you might hit the wrong episode. Ask first?
> Iron Hoof/Fan Theories/Shipping/Binding
All in good fun! If it's not your cup of tea, skim it, but this show has triggered a great creative outpouring from the Internet. Pony themed fan-art is abundant and often excellent. See below for some examples.
> Derpy Hooves/Doctor Whoof
Two minor background characters who were adopted as emblems of 4chan. Derpy Hooves is so named due to an animation error in the first episode that had her eyes facing in different directions; 4chan has assigned her the role of Ponyville's mailpony, and her only line so far has been "Muffins". The show's animators are aware of Derpy's popularity and she's shown up a few times recently with her eyes obviously derped. Currently made canon in Feeling Pinkie Keen and in Faust's picture showcased below, Derpy was deemed important enough to appear in storyboards for Season II.
Dr. Whoof is a pony with an hourglass cutie mark; he and his kin save time and space very quietly off camera.

New ponythread!
EDIT: I apologise, I won't do that again. I just happened to have that gif and needed to use it.
Here, have a couple of cute ponies getting married:

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
So thats a no again?
Thanqol's thread counted, so it's not a matter of "Only Trixie's threads count", an it's not an oversight. Given that we have actually requested, several times, to have the numbering fixed, it's starting to seem like a personal insult.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Ponibooru is dead, Long Live Ponibooru!

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Hm, hexidecimal. Interesting.
EDIT: Also I had a pony dream but I was my favorite character*. I can't remember more than that but I guess it proves that while I acknowledge ponies I'm still my own thingy. A ravener alpha at the moment...
*Helps prevent nightmares if I'm that while I sleep.

Deadly's Ironically Presented Anti-Spoiler Measures
Spoiler
Show
DO YOU HATE SPOILER TAGS?
Well, Deadly's here to help you get rid of them... with a vengeance! Create a new bookmark in your browser and copy the code below as the link/url of said bookmark. Name it something helpful, like "Spoilers B GONE!" or whatever. Then whenever you view a thread here on GitP you just hit the bookmark and BAM! no more spoilers.
You won't even see the boxes, just the bare innards in all their gory glory.
It also makes sure that no image is wider than 600px, to avoid stretching pages, and will attempt to "intelligently" remove repeated images except avatars. Neat, huh? Sadly that last part means stuff like pony emotes may get lost but the forum doesn't make it easy for me to single out images in quotes as I'd have liked... that's an open problem, I guess.
Tested in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Should work in any modern browser, but you never know with these things.
Code:
javascript:(function() { var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block'; a[i].className = ''; } else if (a[i].className == 'pre-spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'none'; }} var ims = new Array(); var tmp; a = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { tmp = a[i].parentNode.className ; if (ims.indexOf(a[i].getAttribute('src')) == -1) { ims.push(a[i].getAttribute('src')); a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px'; } else if (tmp != 'avataroverflow' && tmp != 'alt2') { a[i].style.display = 'none' ; }}})();
If you don't mind repeated images, here's a version that leaves them be.
Code:
javascript:(function() { var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block'; a[i].className = ''; } else if (a[i].className == 'pre-spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'none'; }} a = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px'; }})();

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Yay new thread.
I too would like to lodge a complaint about the numbers though. Seriously, correct Roman numerals or regular old accurate arabic numbering for the next one please.
And picking up from the end of the last thread, I'd like to defend Twilight's ability to teach. I think people picked up on her potential problems, but they're not giving her enough credit in being able to overcome them. First off, I think that if Twilight studied the lessons carefully before-hand (and she would because it's Twilight), she would learn the best ways to teach them and would use proper language in her explanations so as to avoid losing anypony. Second, given the nature of most pony children we've seen, I don't see classroom management as a huge issue. Twilight might get walked on a bit starting out, but I would expect her to develop some techniques or even to gain the sympathy of many of the children (think that episode of Hey Arnold where they go through several new teachers before deciding on one, if you've seen that series).
At this point, I think "Twilight becomes a teacher" would make for a great fanfic that I definitely lack the the time to write, but that somepony else should totally steal and make into a reality.
-
Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
I didn't even really know what exactly was ponibooru so I couldn't be able to say much :smallbiggrin:
But I'm just happy I just need another ponydream to have 7 dreams in a row and I claim the element :smallbiggrin:
....Also, forgot to mention in one I got turned into a pony and kissed RD :smalleek:

Ah democracy of the insane, the best worst regular kind of democracy. You all better vote for regular numbering next time.
I'll possibly check out that fic at some point in the future that isn't now and is a time when I have time.

read some bios on great vaudeville performers and you'll see that when they were out on the road they were always "on" if there were ANY members of the public around
they made their money by putting on a show while playing "bigger than life"
if they run out to the grocery store in podunk town and look /act "normal" then word of mouth from any locals to their friends that said performer is actually just a regular joe could and would hurt ticket sales/end of show donations
alternatively..lets use Don Rickles as an example
supposed to be a great guy to hang around with, but you try to heckle/insult him whether at a show or on the street with others around and he will DESTROY you
he HAS to..thats his livelihood you are challenging

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
New thread smell, though it still has the wrong numbers (should be 30, if we're in hex). Seeing how we had a bunch of people vote for changing it, and nobody opposing, I'd say it's worth doing.
Hopefully, Derpibooru (or however it's spelled) can take up the slack. Only, now from one of my misspellings, all I can think of is Derpiboorus; some kind of wall-eyed ancient evil with a weakness for muffins.

If we accept this as true, doesn't that mean that it's impossible to discuss Trixie at all because nopony knows her real personality?

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Attention Everypony.
Princesses Celestia, Luna and Mi Amore Cadenza wish to inform you that pony thread does not need to be discussing governmental systems if for no other reason then it's less interesting then the pony's themselves and ponysanity in general. That is all.

Government! We all know what to do with forms of government.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
If we're going to insist on having the threads numbered in ridiculous and obscure methods, it would be nice if we could at least have the right number under there somewhere.
Frankly roman numerals are bad enough sometimes. Binary and Hexidecimal? Ugh.
Also, I think it's clear in context of the episode that everything after Snips and Snails is essentially an unguarded Trixie trying not to be humiliated or eaten by an Ursa.
Alternatively, should you portray yourself as a certain kind of character, who is to say that isn't true either? If you spend your days pretending to be a Jerk, whose to say that doesn't make you a jerk?
-
Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
I will umpteenth the thought that the exotic thread numbering scheme has worn out any humour and is becoming tiresome.
On Trixie verses Twilight, all I can say on the matter is that if it not for the pony fandom, I would have totally forgotten Trixie five minutes after the ending. Even fanon Trixie I find rarely moves me from apathy.

But that's the point. Twilight learning to teach would be neat. Twilight would not be good at it, though, until she applied herself. Where I believe the point of the fic in question is that Trixie is already good at teaching. I have to go with that; if she cared enough to learn the material herself, she would probably e a grey teacher.
The Trixie we see however, is too immature, too young. She could be a grey mare eventually, but what we see is a filly.

I always believed that with this being implicit, we had to assume the personality in question was hers. "That's not really Trixie" is an intriguing thought, but in this conversation is a cop-out.

This is what I thought too. Which always confused me; if that is loser to Trixie's real personality, why does she get such a bad rap? Heaven knows "surprise! Moon bears are attacking!" is a terrible barometer for personality.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Personally, I'd just like a straight number system for all threads. Many languages use english numbers (123 etc) so it's relatively easy for more people to understand. The humor should reside within the title. Also... perhaps a gold ponyversary at 50?

aye
the 3 i have in progress(if you can call it that) popped into my brain with the ending and a couple key scenes and i have to figure out how to get from start to that finish

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
people did vote for Hex
and in this case the "hex" choice is not Base6 hex but base16 Hexadecimal.
2F is correct.
Now this wasn't the perfect system of voting, but Trixie did follow what rules that was determined.
in the end though we come here for pony, don't let some minor thing distract you.

Seriously. It's amazing how much it helps to plan out the major events of everything, down to what happens in each chapter.

doing a rough timeline/scene reminder and fleshing it out as i think of stuff works well
I hope this helps. To the outline then.

The only point when you're not the mask you wear is the point when you're taking one off. In the change of masks, the moment of transition, where you decide which mask you're not and about to decide which mask you are...

TBH, other than trying to be kind to others, I don't even really know myself anymore.

Admittedly, the closeness to Poison Joke troubles me quite a bit. I also forgot another odd head-story where Trixie and the Flim-Flam brothers were actually ran off into the same town so they team up...

Totally, yeah. But I was getting kicked out the door for work and I didn't know what the more accurate term would be for that (likely, they'd create their own name for the group, and then the type of pony they're talking about would be referred to by that name). Still, I kinda like the idea of someone writing a letter to Princess Celestia about how it's not nice to be mean to someone that looks odd, and then have Derpy obliviously fly by in the background.

Pheweee, unfortunately I think the same moments are worthy to win multiple categories but I mixed my votes up so as not to duplicate too much. I just hope this doesnt lead to too many mutually exclusive votes.

Second, given the nature of most pony children we've seen, I don't see classroom management as a huge issue. Twilight might get walked on a bit starting out, but I would expect her to develop some techniques or even to gain the sympathy of many of the children (think that episode of Hey Arnold where they go through several new teachers before deciding on one, if you've seen that series).
At this point, I think "Twilight becomes a teacher" would make for a great fanfic that I definitely lack the the time to write, but that somepony else should totally steal and make into a reality.
You didn't talk about Twilight's inability to be understood by the laypony when talking about technical details.

Knowing the cause doesn't excuse how pathetic they are.

Sure they are exceptional pegasi just like Rainbow Dash is. However it is still sad that the Royal Guard is more pathetic.
Talking about Trixie!
On Trixie's personality. Yes she is constantly acting and that's not her 'real' behavior. We see the mask crack for one line where she says "I can't defeat an Ursa Major, I just made the whole thing up!" Notice how she stopped saying her name in that sentence? Now this doesn't really tell us anything about her personality and it doesn't matter too much because she never stops acting except in extreme circumstances (and presumably around close friends and family). So most of the time Trixie is kinda a jerk. But they were heckling her show which is hard to ignore for any actor. Seriously go look up famous cases of hecklers being destroyed, the comedian (usually) is pretty mean when they respond and will insult them til they shut up and sit down. Often the audience will cheer the comedian on. Also I don't know where people are getting the idea that Trixie is lazy and shallow. I suppose it's an equally valid interpretation in comparison to Trixie being insecure and tragic.
Here's what we do know: She likes to boast, she acts, she likes being the center of attention, and she's proud. That's not much and like Luna it gives us a lot of room to basically invent our own character in her place.

My favorite is the intellectual rival and love/hate with Twilight Trixie. Essentially take our Trixie's avatar and that expression pretty well sums it up.
