My Little Pony XLVIII: I say Ol' Chap, how about those Equestrians?

Oh? What toy are you referring to?

That one, mostly, though of course there's the blindbag ones too. Don't you remember, EQD posted up about it a few months back, that they were doing show accurate toys (for a given value of "accurate", but at least Celestia was white) and everything?

Cool. Though I have to wonder how, if at all, a pony becomes a dragon. Does Fluttershy experience an episode of intense greed and grow 20 stories? Call me cautiously optimistic, overall. These sound like awesome ideas, but expectations are going to be incredibly high by the time these episodes air. I really hope they do a good job.

The animation definitely looks better, more fluid and detailed. Check the movement of Twilight's hair during the breeze. They are putting more effort on the series. yay!

Wait a minute, I just realized something.....at the end of that video, the guy who I presume is hosting the panel says "Tune in next month!". Isn't Season Three airing in October?

Well the presumable glory of Flash animation is that its additive in nature. They don't need to do a lot of work to add Lyra's jumping because they already have it saved on a computer somewhere. So they have more time for unique ponies or special animation.

[maximus25]

This doesn't really help the hiatus hurt, it just makes me want season 3 a thousand times more.

That song is awesome though, and the animation has definitely improved.

Honestly, at this point I'm starting to think that Celestia is delibrately screwing with Twilight.

Bah, she probably was simply tested on something related to frienship and magic, and since she doesn't have any hard facts on that kind of magic, only her own experience is that she is so aprehensive. Also we know Twilight is a worrysome worypants of first magnitude...

Celestia definetely trolls Twilight... but for her own good. I'm certain of it...

So should we start a betting pool on what Twilight believes that she failed at.

My vote is as I said something like "Friendship and it's effect on magic" on something around that.

Hey guys. I'm back from camp &in front of my own CPU screen again. Feeling really gloomy because I just did something that I didn't want to, but knew it had to be done. Can I have a quick update on the thread & some pony art?

[Deadly]

Alright, first alpha beta something version of the Great and Powerful Ship Generator is online and ready to dazzle you with its underwhelming selection of characters and overabundance of bugs and other issues no doubt:

Ponyville Shipyard

Or use this link if you just want a random 2-character ship of the 3 pony types only.

I'd appreciate it if you don't share these links outside this thread yet. I haven't tested it in Internet Explorer (because I'm totally too lazy to turn on my gaming PC just for that, in theory it should work just fine though) and I have absolutely no idea how this behaves on phones or tables or whatever fancy coffee machines or refrigerators you may use to access the net.

I'm just putting it up now because I figure I'll let you good ponythreaders get the chance to be the first to test it, and no doubt point out all the gazillion problems I need to fix. Have fun (I hope).

Oh, and for the technically minded: le source code! Ugly messy thing, but I think it mostly does what it's supposed to do. Feel absolutely free to improve upon it and send it back.

I'll shut up now.

[Anarion]

For a sunrise to be memorable watch it during summer, watch it alone and watch it from a mountaintop. Get up early and spend at least two hours waiting for it. The sunrise itself is brief, sudden, but the buildup - ah! That's what counts.

Considering sigging this, preserving for the future.

The shipping generator is coming along nicely. It's pretty much fully functional at this point, I just need the last bit of polish and bug squashing. Also pictures and more characters in the database, so far I have 48 portraits and 85 characters.

And finally a name! It needs a super awesome amazing name. I was thinking something involving Cadance and Heart's Desire (now there's a crack ship! Now I want to ship Cadance and Zecora and have them experiment with Zecora's viagra recipe )

Anyway, pics:

Best pony song? Best pony song! *Skips around happily*

On Flutterdragon: Realy, no one has made a Friendship is Witchcraft joke yet? I expect better from you guys.

I considered it, but then I decided nah, why would they want to lock themselves into Fluttershy's daddy issues anyway?

Absolutely, once it's a little more polished. I'm pretty curious if my server can handle the traffic it'll get from EqD, though. I'd probably put my money on 'no'.

crack theory on flutterdragon

Spoiler

Celestia requests Fluttershy's help taking care of an old friend(who happens to be a dragon)/or the dragon ambassador who has fallen ill.
Being a very proud dragon though he wont accept any help from ponies..so Celestia transforms her into a dragon

also, i fully expect to see at least one flutterdragon pic in the drawfriend tonight..half a dozen minimum tomorrow

[Soras Teva Gee]

Still wouldn't be as epic as Pinkie REALLY being a gypsy.

Though would be more epic then predicting Twilight had a brother. Yes they did that two, Twilight went to the Brohoof Bash and learned a lesson about it.

Reference joke making is recessive. Angel gets to go in the bunny fire.

And so begins the era of trying to avoid spoilers for the next 11 months or so.

Also I don't believe anything until we see a clip of it. (Which I will then refuse to watch but whatever)


hmmm I had something I wanted to talk about but then I forgot it.


Oh Yeah! I've been reading too many fics where Rarity is a villain. The problem is that these fics are well written enough that Rarity's behavior is believable. So can someponies please suggest fics that present Rarity in a positive light?

Idea for a silly fic: a crossover between Ponies and the Dexter's Lab universe.

When an intergalactic villain opens a rift between world, Twilight and friends are torn from their reality and land on earth. In order to return, the Equestria Force must team with Major Glory, Dex-Star, and Monkey to ensure the continued safety of all worlds.

"Fun fact:

Ponies came out on 10/10/10

101010 is Binary for 42

42 is the answer to life, universe and Everything

Conclusion:

Ponies - answer to live, universe and everything"

I don't know if any of that is true but my mind, she has been blown =O

[Zigg'rrauglurr]

Visionary is finally complete and it's a great read. A changeling story with epic magics, horrible villains and likable characters and characterizations. Also its changeling biology/magic worldbuild has completely invaded my changeling headcanon information.

Rarity is a completely secondary character here, but her support role in certain scenes really shows the part of her that nopony else can do and in an excellent light. More the reason to read it.

First thing I got was Genderbent Luna/ Genderbent Gustave/ Genderbent Cranky/ Cheerilee.
I think I'm going to like this program.
EDIT: I found one bug: I told it to ship six characters, it shipped nine. Cancel that, I just realized what I did, and that it's a feature, not a bug.
