Hey, guess what- we're doing this thing again. Good lord, they're at it again. Someone just take away their microphones and tie them up. Not like that, Phoe.
So, questions and topics! We would like them. Whatever you want to hear us discuss in our next podcast, feel free to toss into the comments. We'll be recording in the next day or so!
EDIT: Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about S2:E3 for sure. Ask about other things!

VastaKustutaWhat do you think of all the "FIRST!" posts?
VastaKustutaWhat would you do if you were Rainbow Dash?
VastaKustutaFIRST - Talk about what's going to happen in season 3 without Lauren Faust's input.
VastaKustutaWhy does Phoe seem to like to tie everyone up "like that"? lol
VastaKustutaGood old scootaloo.
VastaKustutaAlso, "THIRD."
VastaKustutaQuestion: What is a typical day like for you? How much time do you take out of your day dealing with anything pony related?
VastaKustutaHow do you guys feel about the new opener for the show, Like, Dislike? What do you like/dislike about it?
VastaKustutaDo you visit Ponychan?
VastaKustutaWhat did you three think of S2E3?
VastaKustutaCereal, Why wont you read Fallout:Equestria
VastaKustutaPhoe, HI!
Seth, .... nah i got nothing
What I'm wondering is, besides increasing the number of fans, how do you think the brony fandom can grow from here, especially with Season 2 underway
VastaKustutaHow long do you think this fandom will last. And by 'fandom' I mean EQD.
VastaKustutaWho is the Next Equestrian Idol?
VastaKustutaWhat is your opinion on Rule 34 pony art?
VastaKustutaWill equestia daily ever be on tumblr?
VastaKustutaHow about you blog ponies discuss the new episode, like if it lived up to your expectations.
VastaKustutaIn the unlikely event that MLPFIM got a spinoff show would you launch a seperate website to cover it or would you cover both shows in ED?
VastaKustutaThis question has an obvious answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Do the three of you have pony-related desktop backgrounds? And if so, what are the backgrounds?
VastaKustutaRainbow Dash seems to be the only character without a pet. What kind of pet do you think she would have and why?
VastaKustutaHave the mods of this website ever met in person, and if not. Do you have any potential future plans to do so?
VastaKustutaWould you like to see Twilight go insane again at some point in a future episode?
VastaKustutaI have TWO questions!
VastaKustuta1: With famous guest stars being a thing now, who would you like to see make an appearance on the show, and what would you want their pony to be like?
2: I believe you said before what your personal favorite fan fictions were, but what about the pre-readers? Do they have favorites out of all the stories they read?
Do you guys fear a pony burnout? Like getting annoyed with everything pony?
VastaKustutaWhy do you think the Apple family keeps pigs? (My pet theory is that they're actually a crime syndicate, and use pigs to dispose of "evidence," like in the film Snatch)
VastaKustutaWas Seth the creator of the "Twilight Sparkle is best pony" quote?
VastaKustutaNew Lunar Republic or Sun Empire?
VastaKustutaWhat is your view on people saying "first" on posts??
VastaKustutaWho is your favorite music brony?
When will Seth finally evolve into a male trixie?
What happened to tekaramity? (im pretty sure I misspelled the name)
Why doesn't Phoe post more nightly roundups?
How much longer until Bronies take over the world?
What are your favorite fanfics (if any)?
How do magnets work?
What do you want to see in Luna's canon personality in upcoming episodes?
VastaKustutaOpinions on OCs, Self-inserts, and Fanponies in general?
VastaKustutaConsidering the ending: the new rule that Celestia makes all 6 learn friendship lessons, does that mean that perhaps there may be non-Twilight episodes (with the featured pony being the one to deliver the message)? Also, the other 5/6 ponies with their insanity problems again...how could it happen? what would be the result?
VastaKustutaDo you think the brony community will die out anytime soon?
VastaKustutaFirstly, where's the post image from? not sure I recall Scoots making that face...
VastaKustutaSecondly, NMM or Discord?
As far as villains go, how do the villains we've seen so far stack up, would you like to see any return, and what would you like to see in future villains, if you want any at all?
VastaKustutaWith how meme heavy S2 E3 was, do you think we bronies replaced young girls as the primary audience?
VastaKustutaTalk about pudding...please...for me?
VastaKustutaWhat types of new background ponies do you think are going to make an appearance(e.g. Photofinish, G&TP, Sapphire Shores, etc.)?
VastaKustutaWhat did Seth think of the LoL crossover?
VastaKustutaWho are your favorite characters from the show?
VastaKustutaWhat is a typical day in the life of you wonderful people?
Do you get payed for this job, or do you have separate jobs and all do this as a hobby?
What are your favorite foodstuffs?
When's your birthdays?
@Renegade Of Funk
VastaKustutaThis calls for a celebration!
Do you think that "Nightmare Night" will be the best episode ever? If not, why do you suck?
VastaKustutaWhat do you think Luna is going to be like? What kind of personality would you want her to have the most?
VastaKustutahave we lost sight of our original goals and attitude? sometimes it seems the community is drifting further away from the love and tolerance we once held in such high regard. Am I just paranoid? or is this an actual problem? If it is, what do you think caused it? how can it be solved?
VastaKustutaI just wanna recording of seth's reaction when he finds out The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle finally updated.
VastaKustutaNever read any fanfic, where should I start? Also, please discuss the fact that we ALL represent Brony culture, and not to be so judgemental...I've been experiencing some haters in our ranks. Thanks!
VastaKustutaAfter this very mental breakdown focused episode, am I the only one starting to get a little tired of unstable personalities?
VastaKustutaRyex Asks:
VastaKustutaHow does the EqD teem function? on a tipical day you guys get hundreds of emails some of which must be duplicate stuff, and you guys some how manage to sort through all that mail, categorize it, and divide who will post what at what hour, and what WONT be posted / farm out the fanfics ect. to pre-readers/screeners.
How do keep yourselves organised and working as a teem under what must be a massive load of news and fan content?
Who is your favorite background pony?
VastaKustutaWhat is your greatest accomplishment in life?
How many trixie plushies does Seth sleep with?
What does Cereal eat for breakfast?
Why does Phoe like to be awesome?
What is your favorite color?
What is your quest?
I have this question since months now..
VastaKustutaThere are plans to make another (Newbie) Artist Training Grounds event?
other thoughts: I think the quality of pmvs/pony music has increased by a pretty good amount in season 2. how about your thoughts on the fan videos?
VastaKustutaThoughts on pony conventions?
S2E4 expectations?
Highlights and lowlights of the job?
I want to know the religious views you guys have. Also: Are you losing any steam? Getting tired of so much pony?
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaIf you could choose any musical artist to appear on the show who would you want? (I'd go with Blink-182. Not exactly appropriate for kids, but those guys are hilarious.)
VastaKustutaAlso, an idea that's been bouncing around my head the past couple days: what would you think of an action/plot (storyline, not that...) centered spinoff of the show with a running arc throughout the series? In my idea, the princesses would be overthrown, banished to the moon/sun, and replaced by an evil tyrant. The mane 6 would be vigilantes, trying to restore Celestia and Luna to power an discovering the powers hidden in the EoH. Just one idea, but what would you think about a show aimed more at bronies, with more action, darker storylines, maybe some strong language and a TV-PG rating?
What kind of content do you want to see more of from the Brony community?
VastaKustutaAny chance of seeing Phoe or Cereal at a BroNYCon, or Seth again?
What do you think of bronies.memebase.com - they seem to be redundant with EqD around?
Do you have the feeling that you're being watched?
VastaKustutaAre you aware that your (post is) being watched?
I once read an article about the division of labor in Equestria. It talked about how earth ponies seem to mostly make up the lower class, being farmers and workers, and unicorns the upper class, pointing out that much of Canterlot was unicorns, and that Princess Celestia is about as far from an Earth pony as possible. I have my own theory about this, but I would love to hear you discuss it.
VastaKustutaAre any of you musicians?
VastaKustutaPhoe, which pony do you most desire to tie up?
VastaKustutaDoes it need more cowbell?
VastaKustutaWho's your favorite Star Trek Captain and Why?
VastaKustutaand Semi-Related, who's your favorite Doctor?
Who is best background pony? (Not including the CMC and Derpy)
VastaKustutaTo: Cyl
VastaKustutayes it always needs more cowbell!
any who, Why is Twilights Magig redish now?
Is all this so-called "meme fuel" intentional that filled all of Ep3?
VastaKustutaWhat do any of you guess the new villain will be like when they start season 3
VastaKustutaWhat happened to Tek?
VastaKustutaDo you mind the magic aura color changes?
VastaKustutaWait, is Phoe into S & M or something? Did I miss that?
VastaKustutaHow do you think the animation style and stories of season two compare to the animation and stories of season 1?
VastaKustuta1) What are your thoughts on Twilight's new magical aura (Previously white and purple, now a pinkish color)?
VastaKustuta2) What do you think of Twilight showing off her teleportation powers?
If the Mane Six were forced to side with either Celestia or Luna during a civil war, which side would each choose?
VastaKustutaWhich of the mane six would you consider most likely to die in a GrimDark fanfic other than RD? (She's too easy a choice.)
Favorite ship?
What things would you like to see crossed with ponies that haven't already been?
Seth: You are now The Great and Powerful Trixie. What do you do?
What do you have to say to the rumors that Applejack is Batmare? (Probably dead parents, likely makes good money off farm, no superpowers like unicorn magic, killer strength, steadfast will, etc...)
Do either of you have a favorite stuffed toy from way back when that was very special to you, a la Mrs. Smartypants (sp?)
VastaKustutaFollow-up: if so, and if you were in the same situation that Twilight was in episode 3, would you have done the same with it as she did, or taken some other approach?
If you were under the influence of Discord, what would happen to you guys?
VastaKustutaI'd imagine the site would never update OR we would all be trolled with horrible content.
"more action, darker storylines, strong language, PG rating"
VastaKustutaYeah, let's get rid of everything that made the original great, and make another mediocre pile of garbage.
Where do you think the show is going to go in regards to the entire Mane Six now sending the Princess Friendship Reports? More specifically do you think that the character specific episodes will operate any differently now that they don't have to rely on Twilight for Friendship Report resolution to every episode?
VastaKustutaWho is your favorite pony?
VastaKustutaHint: the correct answer is Scootaloo.
Where do you see this fandom going? Do you suspect it will dies before the show does or vice versa? How many seasons of ponies do you suspect? P.S. You guys are FRICKIN' amazing.
VastaKustutaDo you want to see the CMC actually get their cutie marks before the season is over?
VastaKustuta@Whitbane
VastaKustutaAbsolutely nothing....
Ideal Perfect-World Pony Videogame, high budget, executed properly by a team that sees it through properly. What does the game look like?
VastaKustutaWhat would your cutie mark be if you had one?
VastaKustutaIs the pinkamena/grimdark stuff overdone in the fan community? And Does it miss the finer points of what makes the show great?
VastaKustutaAlso!
VastaKustutaWhat would be your response if one of the Mane 6 VA's left the show and they brought in someone new? Would you continue watching? Would it be less awesome than it was before?
Would you pay to see a Friendship is Magic movie?
VastaKustutaFluttershy has The Stare
VastaKustutaPinkie has Pinkie Sense
Rarity can er well whine and find gems.
Rainbow Dash has the Rainboom
And Twilight can Teleport.
What kind of special ability would you give AJ besides the whole cowgirl thing she has going for her?
If there were to be episodes based off the background characters or atleast featuring them prominently, what kind of episode do you think they would be in?
VastaKustutaAlso, do you think it would be a good idea to retell the first 2 episodes as an, atleast, 90 minute movie with added plot details and maybe backstory to Celestia, Luna and Nightmare moon?
Phoe, Y U NO POST MORE?
VastaKustutaAlso, would you like to see Discord revived in another episode or two? Do you think they should do some kind of greater evil plot, where they have to revive Discord to save Equestria?
@Discord:
VastaKustutaThat's a lie and you know it! You'd spike their coffee with sleeping pills and laugh as the site fell into chaos!
Can the fandom get too big for it's own good? We are rapidly expanding, and for some reason, I keep feeling as if there's going to be too much going on with bronies on the net, and that lots of content will start to be overlooked. Note the increase in images in drawfriends and the necessity of a "story updates" post almost daily and sometimes more.
VastaKustutaA character in the mane 6 that you would relate to the most.
VastaKustutaAre there any episodes you hope to see from the new season?
VastaKustutaHow can episode 5 live up to Luna? (I vaguely remember a gap between these two episodes was scheduled; if true, could the reason for the gap have something to do with my prior query?)
Is there a personal favorite PMV that you guys have?
Based on the success My Little Pony phenomena, you can bet your plot that there we are going to be flooded with internet meme referencing, semi-ironic cartoon adaptations of old toys (even if that isn't what FiM is like, this is how I predict The Man will interpret the success). What toy line do you think has NO chance of being Friendship is Magic'd into awesomeness? What toy line has the BEST chances?
how do you thing are the most influential Bronies in the whole Fandom? Why?
VastaKustutaOkay, here goes my questions.
VastaKustutaI love Scootaloo? I think I did it right.
Anyways...
(All of these questions apply to all blog ponies)
What is your favorite song/PMV/YTPMV?
As well, what is your favorite non-pony song?
Who's your favorite (musical) artist? (Pony and non-pony)
What is your favorite image/picture? (Both non-pony and pony)
How do you manage to balance the blog and the rest of your life?
How good of friends are you?
If Trixie were to return, would you rather it be another episode where she is the antagonist, or would you rather it be a redemption episode?
VastaKustuta@Whitbane
VastaKustuta.... Maybe
What's gonna happen to EqD after you hit 999999999 views? (since that is the maximum number your counter can exceed.) Will it explode? Will all of us faithful bronies be magically transported to Equestria?

VastaKustuta@ROBCakeran53
VastaKustutaAs one kid with a microphone once said "chocolate rain"
What keeps you guys coming back to the show for more? The comedy? The strong characterization? The heartwarming? All the above, or other?
VastaKustutaIf you could change anything about ant episode thus far, what would it be and why?
VastaKustutaTo add to my question: If not Trixie, would there be any other antagonist you would like to see in a redemption episode?
VastaKustutaIf you guys had one movie you could ponify (Hopefully that's a word), which one would it be? Why? How?
VastaKustutaI'm just going to keep tossing questions.
What do you ponies think about everypony's favourite zebra, Zecora? What kind of role do you think she'll play in season 2? What kind of role do you want her to play in season 2? Do you think she'll get another epsiode like in S01E09 or do you think she'll be more of a fringe character with minor appearances like in S01E10?? Do our beloved blogponies think she will return at all?
VastaKustutaBasically, what are your thoughts and hopes about the future of this character in the series?
Of course we're curious about your thoughts on the whole "My Strange Addiction" thing and the controversy over the Human Pin-Up Calender.
VastaKustutaAlso, you were talking about what an adventure MLP would be like and said having a separate MLP side-show would be a bad idea. You said you discussed a solution to it, but I don't think you ever told us. What was it?
Lastly, I'm curious on what we can do about the haters. It's fine for people to hate the show if they don't like it. But what about those who have something against bronies themselves? Is there some kind of behavior us bronies generally act around non-bronies that may often piss them off? I hear many complaints of how if someone just doesn't feel like watching a show, people should just stop asking and stop being annoying.
I'm not sure if this question gets picked up, since this is my first time trying to submit a question, but here it is (this is specifically for Seth, because he's the owner of the website):
VastaKustuta"This set of questions is for Sethiesto: Regarding the growing expansion of the fandom, are there any plans on expanding your website/blog into a database, or moving out of Blogger, or considering affiliation with other pony websites? Do you think it is expanding too fast that at times you can't keep up? Do you think would you change your approach model to all fans out there (like for example, there's a mix of us that check this website in a daily basis, some of us even refreshing our browsers minute by minute - while there are people who check it periodically) in order to adjust that? Are you considering adding more accessibility so content can be reached more easily? I said these questions because Equestria Daily is currently the most mainstream MLP:FiM fansite in the internet, as even Hasbro and the Hub even recognizes this website as a primary source for all pony-related fan content, and actual news. My concern is that I wouldn't want the fandom to fall behind because your website won't grow as fast as the fandom. Please answer."
(BTW, please exclude using my name if you're reading the question during your Q&Neigh, the nickname I'm using is too much common, so instead - put me as anonymous for now).
Wow. I feel like a shareholder asking questions to the officials in a Company Q&A session.
What are each of your professions?
VastaKustutaIf I remember correctly, Cereal is a programmer, and Phoe is a writer/journalist(something that requires good writing skills and excellent punctuation, at least).
But, Seth, what do you do?
Due to my prying interest, I would like to know, what languages, Cereal, you know(programming, but I guess any other actual languages belonging to a country)? What gave you your interest in such an area? What games and/or software have you worked on/created?
As for Phoe, what gave you your interest in the literary field? When did everypony decide you liked bondage(I really want to know, this has always baffled me)?
To all blog ponies, what are the top three things you are most proud of?
VastaKustutaWhat question do you get asked most frequently?
VastaKustutaHow do you expect the fandom to react to Luna's canon personality as of Nightmare Night? What do you personally feel about it, seeing as a lot of fan content seems to be based around a melancholic and shy Luna which could very well be dashed by this episode? More importantly, would you prefer a Luna more in line with the fandom's perception of her, or would you like it better if she was more confident and less like her fanon persona?
VastaKustuta@MandoPony
VastaKustuta-> How can i type while encased in stone
I totally think besides the banner contest you should totally have a costume contest. For people that actually dress up as ponies for Halloween! I really really want to dress up as Tom. Or if I had the talent/ambition I could have Rarity at the bottom carrying Tom around. I have zero talent at crafting costumes though.
VastaKustutaA few more questions. People seem to often really hate grimdark things in the fandom, some even saying it's 'ruining' MLP. But what do you think may be the BEST grimdark pony-related-thing EVER?
VastaKustutaAnd do you think there may be some fan contents that are better than official episodes for converting someone to the brony fandom?
@DeRockProject
VastaKustutaCupcakes....
Also to add to my question Phoe, which pony would you most like to tie YOU up?
VastaKustutaWhich of the mane 6 has the best pet?
VastaKustutaCereal: Are you planning on any more awesome videos?
VastaKustutaPhoe: Is it pronounced 'Fow' or 'Fee'? Seriously, I just don't know anymore!
Seth: Who do you think is best po- TRIXIE!
I'm trying to write for my pegasus character in a story, but this brought up a quesiton that I'm quite intrigued by. What are the physics and mechanics of pegasus and their weather making? I want to know your opinions and theories. While I have my own and created my own theory for my pegasus, I wanna hear yours. Like the logistics of RD's Rainbow Tail after a sonic rainboom, or Spitfire and Soarin's thunder cloud tail when flying. And if any other kind of weather condiiton is possible.
VastaKustutaAlso... about time! I missed your guys' discussions. Also. What's the difference between poison joke and Discord now? A few ponies are saying that poison joke is physical and Discord is mental change, but ponies are still mixing them up, perhaps you can offer an ultamatium? Also, what do you guys think Octavia, Lyra, Bon Bon, and Vinyl Scratch would be on Poison Joke?
One more question, I'm really afraid of a pony sickening, such as me getting sick of ponies. Do you guys (and girl) think its possible that ponies are just a fad and be forgotten? or are ponies everlasting now that FiM is around? Also, how long do you FiM will be around? And will the fanbase still be around long after FiM is done with its FINAL episode?
(Sorry for the many questions. Hopefully you choose at least one. I'm hyped. /)^3^(\
OKAY IDEA UMM....OKAY QUILTS AND SCROLLS MUSIC VIDEO (boats and hoes music vid) Starring spike of course
VastaKustutaWarning, the following may be unsuitable for fillies and colts...
VastaKustuta@Discord
All you have to do is take a cup of pony, add it to the mix! Now just take a little something meat, not flour, a bit of gaskin, just a pinch!
Baking these treats is such a cinch,
Add a teaspoon of vanilla.
Add a little horse, and you don't remorse.
And you'll never get your filla!
Cupcakes, so sweet and tasty!
Cupcakes, don't be too hasty!
Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes, CUPCAKES!
Now we all know AppleTinie and Flutterguy

so you must all figure out funny names including a weird thing about said admin
EG Seths apparently Michael Cera voice
@Jelfes
VastaKustutaDemented cupcakes anyone?
youtube watch?v=Jsu5PNm7UPg
If you were to write a grimdark fic, just how would you go about it? How much death would be involved? Would it have a happy ending?
VastaKustutaHave you ever had a dream with ponies in it?
VastaKustuta@Discord WAIT WHAT?! I would just like to make it clear that I just made that version of the song's lyrics up, I hadn't even heard that song before(Demented Cupcakes).
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustutaNot what i was implying, just wanted to throw sum demented ͪ͊ͥͥ͑̍ͦ͘҉̖̟̯ͫ̏ͦͥC U̘͔͙͔͕ͤ̿ͣ̓̈́ͯ͆̕͠PC ҉̭͈̜͚̯̰͈̣̀ͭ͝ ̵͈ͥ A̭ͯͦ̅̉̃ͯͅ¬̴̎͋̽͗͏̝̦̹̝̱K ̮ͥ̔̐̓̏ͬ͘E ͓͙̫̣͛ͨͣ̀ͬ͠͞S̨̫̺ͦͥ̏͌around... you know you want one

@Discord Gore, please!
VastaKustutaOkay I'm just gonna mix a bunch of stuff and try to play this on guitar.
VastaKustutaAll you have to do is take a cup of pony
Add it to the mix!
Now just take a little something sweet not sour
A bit of blood, just a pinch!
Baking these treats is such a cinch,
Add a teaspoon of BOLOGNA!!!
Add a little GORE, and you COUNT TO FOUR.

@DeRockProject That, my good sir, was awesome.
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustutaIf you would kindly take a step into pinkiepie's office I am SurE she would be GlaD fix you up some...
Tf2 pmc reference, lol.
VastaKustutaIm sorry, im making cupcakes right now, not sandviches. For some reason, they keep turning out dark red, not rainbow. Ill go ask pinkamena what im doing wrong, but first, ima take a nap. Sugar cube corner sounds like a great place to do that, since its right where- ooh! Thanks, pinkie pie! A cupcake is just what I wan- zzzzzzzzzzzzz
@Discord But, she's already got cupcakes... Oooohhh, am I taste testing!?
VastaKustutaAs for your answer, "Cupcakes..." to my question, I'm sure Tarby's Something Broke or Story of the Blanks can do EVERYTHING better than Cupcakes!
VastaKustutaEven converting people to the fandom! Or just being scary in general!
@Bombedrumbum
And yeah, it's awesome since 'filly' rhymes better with 'bologna'. (sounds more like boloney)
@Bombedrumbum
VastaKustutadoes this cloth smell like chloroform to you? *hits you in the back of the head with a squirrel*
@Discord can I order some after jelfes? Pinkie pie should be done with her batch by then
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustutaTaste testing?
...Sorta... XDDDDDDD
Oh Jelfes, I’m glad you’re here.
This job of mine is oh so dreary.
Don’t scream, not MUCH to fear
I’m glad it’s you, this makes me weary.
:D
@Discord yes, actually, it doe- *THUD*
VastaKustuta1.)How do you think the rest of Season 2 will go?
VastaKustuta2.)Do the high visual and physical intensity(sonic rain-bomb) and cartoon violence take away from the MLP's naturally light-hearted nature?
3.)Fluttershy versing the bear. Did you feel this was completely out of character for Fluttershy or did you feel that Fluttershy was completely capable of doing this.
4.)Do any of you feel that MLP is turning from an Amazing awesome educational girls show into a decent guy cartoon?
They all basically ask the same question. I think MLP is losing its girly touch and the characters seem high-strung and very physical. I can't recall a calm scene in the recent episodes where two ponies were simply having a conversation with each other about a certain problem.(ew, gay right?)
tl;dr
For Season 2, I fear that we'll be laughing our asses off more than forming emotional connections with the characters.
Okay, now little Bombedrumbum is in here, too...
VastaKustutaΩ> BALLOONS!?
VastaKustutaA> Where are all the FiM print balloons? What am I supposed to decorate my Pinkie Pie parties with?
B> If you compare the build of the balloons Discord uses in the Balloon Garden scene to the balloons shown in almost any season one episode (Or even the balloons Pinkie brings to the picnic in Lesson Zero), there's an obvious difference between them. What does this mean? Are they implying Canterlot gets all the good stuff, while Ponyville doesn't? Does Pinkie only buy the smaller, cheaper looking things because they remind her how she got her cutie mark? Does magic just automatically result in better balloons? Was it done to prevent drawing focus to them in episode where they're unimportant VS the scene where they *are* the scene? Discuss.
C> At no point in the show have we ever seen a main-six pop a balloon. So far we've had Gilda do it, who was implied to be a bad personality. The dragon in Dragonshy does this, clearly bothered by Pinkie's presence. All of Discord's balloons disappear in a manner akin to popping, but not quite. Possibly due to Discord's own magic? Pokey Pierce does this as well in Call of the Cutie. Are they implying he's not a friendly pony? Do you think the main six would be incapable of popping a balloon if they tried? Does this apply to Pinkamena?
D> Princess Loona?
E> No, I don't actually expect any of these questions to be picked, even if I've been thinking about them entirely too much.
@Tr4fficLights
VastaKustutaDon't think Fluttershy can wrestle a bear. He's just letting her. I think it just looked like wrestling to Twilight.
@Bombedrumbum
VastaKustutaSo your awake I can see the fear on your face! Mostly in your eyes. I may have to take them when this is over..
@DeRockProject
VastaKustutaOh, well that's too bad, wait, what are you doing with that hacksaw? Say, why do they call it that anyways? It's just silly, hacking is something you'd do with a pointed or hooked thing!
Yknow what, there's nothing else to do here, than to just copypaste the whole lyrics to "Something Broke"
VastaKustutaLet me rip your demons
Tear them out your throat
Cut your flesh and body
Till you’re dead and bloat
Oh, Jelfes, do you have any sickness?
Wait…once your cooked, it won’t matter anyway!
"Oh did that hurt? What happened to the big, strong bombedrumbum I knew? And for that matter, why do they call it a hack saw? You don’t hack with it: that’s what I was doing with the knife!"
Well, copypasted except now with all your names on it.
*Halo announcer voice* Double Kill!
VastaKustutaI ordered some cupcakes,
VastaKustutaBecause pinkie's are so sweet
I dont know how pinkie pie bakes,
but they sure are a treat!
The last thing I can recall
Before I woke up here
Was falling on the wall
and looking at a pink leer
Now why am I tied up like this?
I just wanted to get some food!
those cupcakes that I shall surely miss,
Looks like they're gone for good.
Now, pinkie, what are you doing over there?
Shouldn't you be baking, not making ponies wait?
and whatever happened to your hair?
since when is it all straight?
Hey, what's that, a hacksaw?
I dont know why theg call it that,
I cant remember at all....
And why is there red all over the floor mat?
Is that Rainbow Dash over there?
Why wont she answer me?
And she sure looks chubby for a mare,
And, hey! Why cant I see?
Why did you blindfold my head?
There's no reason to do that sort of thing,
And why are you taking out pain med-
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY WING?!?!
When the Devil is too busy
VastaKustutaAnd Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the demon in your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
- 1/3 of "When you're Evil"-
But guys, let's be honest. Rainbow Dash is so badass, she'll just LIVE through Pinkie's torture. No sweat. (unlike you guys hehehe XDDDDDDD)
VastaKustutaOr blow up. Blow up the whole goddamn town.
Because she can do that.
Oh, hey modponies! I have something for the q&neigh! What do you feel about all the cupcakes references here?
VastaKustuta@DeRockProject
VastaKustutaHmm just mentioning ͪ͊ͥͥ͑̍ͦ͘҉̖̟̯ͫ̏ͦͥC U̘͔͙͔͕ͤ̿ͣ̓̈́ͯ͆̕͠PC ҉̭͈̜͚̯̰͈̣̀ͭ͝ ̵͈ͥ A̭ͯͦ̅̉̃ͯͅ¬̴̎͋̽͗͏̝̦̹̝̱K ̮ͥ̔̐̓̏ͬ͘E ͓͙̫̣͛ͨͣ̀ͬ͠͞S̨̫̺ͦͥ̏͌ spawned all of this
Rainbow Dash can blow up the whole town while strapped to the table in Pinkie's basement. She just chooses not to. Because she's a kind and loving nuclear weapon.
VastaKustutaThat doesn't feel pain.
Hahaha, I like how this last part was taken over by us and turned into a Cupcakes reenactment!
VastaKustutaAgreed, thoughts on Cupcakes?
@Jelfes what the- I just asked that
VastaKustuta@Bombedrumbum That's why I said, "Agreed." Saying, "Seconded," is simply not enough for me!
VastaKustutaWHERE ARE THOSE CUPCAKES THAT I ORDERED?!!
VastaKustuta@Jelfes sorry about that.
VastaKustuta......and the fact that I bribed the baker for you
@DeRockProject
VastaKustutakinda disturbing |
v
to my full understanding of the pony anatomy, if you would cut open a pony and tear out its intestines and strangle it with them it would die
... im sorry everyone
@Discord TO THE MOON WITH YE!!!!
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustutaCupcakes is inaccurate. Rainbow Dash doesn't feel pain. Or die. She is the most powerful weapon in Equestria. She does not move to mere torture. She only pretends to.
...
...Rainbow Dash Facts.
Sedatives don't work on Rainbow Dash. She only pretended to fall asleep because she felt bad for Pinkie's pathetic attempt to sedate her.
@DeRockProject Buck Norris's distant relative
VastaKustutaCelestia going to have my head "metaphorically speaking" for starting this...
VastaKustuta@DeRockProject Hahaha, "Sedatives don't work on Rainbow Dash. She only pretended to fall asleep because she felt bad for Pinkie's pathetic attempt to sedate her."
VastaKustutaDo you think Derpy deserves her own episode?
VastaKustuta@Discord
VastaKustutaYou are right! Except for one thing...
Cutting open Rainbow Dash and tear out her intestines and strangle her with them won't kill her.
NOTHING WILL...
She can pretend to be dead though. Because she's a really nice pony and she cares for her mortal friends.
At least she cares for their dignity.
VastaKustutawhat about decapition? O_O
VastaKustutaHeadless horse?
@DeRockProject
VastaKustutaCommon sense be damned... Taking about stuff like this very hard given the nature of me
@Discord I thought that you were the spirit of chaos
VastaKustuta@Bombedrumbum
VastaKustutaShe grows it back! No... she doesn't just regenerates like a NORMAL immortal. She regenerates like a HYDRA!
But that kinda creeps her friends out, so she usually just grows one head out instead. Or limb. It's sometimes fun to have multiple wings, though.
@Bombedrumbum
VastaKustutaI am but the problem arises when sumone says "Such and such can't happen" or "such and such won't do this" for me being their it can "and most likely will" happen
Discord fun fact
VastaKustutaI have been siting in this chair for 7.5 hours...
Bombedrumbum fun fact
VastaKustutaI have been watching you sit in that chair for 6.5 hours
@Bombedrumbum
VastaKustutadiscord fun fact
I have been watching you watch me sit in my chair for 6.5 hours
@Discord
VastaKustuta@Bombedrumbum
There is no point, guys! Rainbow Dash just does it better! It's the law of nature and the cosmos revolves around her ego and her epic fucking nuclear explosions!!!
...yeah, I guess I'm done dragging on one joke.
Gonna get back to my guitar.
Remember when your fingers start to bleed you haven't played enough
VastaKustutaIt MLP:FIM were to make a spinoff where the mane 6 were replaced by Lyra, Bon-Bon, Ocatvia, Vinyl, Derpy and The Doctor, would you watch it?
VastaKustutaAnd how well do you think the show would do?
Whatwith the whole 'My Strange Addiction' fiasco a while back, and of course the stuff with Fox News, Adult Swim, etc., it's clear the media isn't planning to shine bronies in a positive light.
VastaKustutaAssuming it's not a futile cause, what can bronies do to get some love in the media?
Do you guys read the various Ask Blogs on tumbr? If so, do you have a favorite?
VastaKustutaSo... Pinkamena v. Crazy twilight...
VastaKustutaWhat do u expect will become of this?
@Jango-Fett
VastaKustutaI had that same thought! The EXACT same characters! You saw that image too, didn't you? "Backgrounds are Folklore" or something like that. Probably make a fanfic or fan animation if I can get to it. So what'll it be? My Little Pony: Independance is Strength? Elements of Resonance? And working for Princess Luna to free her sister and fight against the Spirit of Oppression? While helping themselves other out, learning the important of self-reliance? To depend on yourself while letting others rely on you?
(If this will ever get read:)
VastaKustutaIs there anything (likely to happen) that would make you stop watching MLP:FiM?
(No, "Cupkakes" is not likely to happen)
What is your favorite part of Season 2 so far and why?
VastaKustutaDo you think that Celestia genuinely raises the sun to bring in day, or is she actually just rotating the pony earth and just not telling anyone?
VastaKustutaMy question is similar to what Tr4ffic Lights said, but I really think it deserves some attention.
VastaKustutaThe new season is a lot more busy. Like Tr4ffic Lights said, there's never really a time in the new season that it's just calm. In season one, the mane six (to me) represented six different archetypes of people. In the new episodes, they often seem like self parodies.
How do you feel about the updated visuals? The new intro has so much more going. A train running through the middle of ponyville? Do you like the new fancy glow for unicorn magic compared to the more subtle glow in season 1?
What's it like running the site? does blogger have tools that let you shape posts, or do you have to code some stuff yourselves? Does blogger even let you do that?
VastaKustutaSeth and Cereal:
VastaKustutaWhy was Phoe trapped in the sugar mines?
Why was Phoe trapped in the sugar mines without me?
Why didn't I know about the sugar mines?
Are you two trying to muscle in on my territory?
Am I seriously the only one who watched the Emmys? Did no one tell you guys there was a pony reference in the opening skit?
VastaKustuta@Ergo Cogito This guy beat me to it.
VastaKustutaAfter seeing Episode 3 and all its greatness, do you possibly think that the show might "overdo" its amazingness?
VastaKustutaSo if Discord wanted to bring eternal Chaos and Nighmare Moon wanted to bring Nigh Eternal. then what do you think the Third major villian to bring forever
VastaKustutaOh cool, I always love these things, especially how a given question gets turned into a philosophical pondering and takes up half the recording.
VastaKustutaLet's see...
How do you feel about the doom-criers that have been popping up here and there saying that a given season 2 episode is inferior to season 1?
I read someone who claimed that all the craziness involved in these three episodes destroyed all the basic foundations that season 1 created, and instead of the ponies we know and love, we have received parodies and mere suggestions of the ponies we once knew.
I don't necessarily believe that (Lesson Zero for best episode), but I'm asking what do you think about that whole thought process?
@Nosnibor
VastaKustutaRead the fanfic Celestia's Notebook, for what I think is one of the most in depth theories of pony earth physics. It depicts a very cool origin story for the alicorns, and for the reason nature seems to be so dependent on ponies. Word of warning, it's written, quite literally, as Celestia's personal notebook, like a diary/research journal. I tend to go with the theory that they need to bump the planet's spin every 12 hours, like that story depicts. The moon's orbit was synchronized with the day night cycle to simplify it's operation so one pony could manage it and to better time the manual management of nature to it's cycles. That's the theory I like, which makes Celestia's Notebook, my favorite fanon origin story for modern Equestria, though I'm also a huge fan of Paradise, and would LOVE to see it update sometime this millennium. The sun and moon have not been addressed yet in that fanfic.
I personally tend to favor Celestia and Luna as regular ponies who have been ascended to alicorns by either experimental magic or by a destined fate rendered by an unknown power. I also find the idea that all ponies were once alicorns, but the race was somehow split... that works for me too. I tend to be a little apprehensive of stories that deify the two ponies. I'll read them from time to time, but they are not my favorite.
I'd love to hear the thoughts of the EqD crew regarding your views of the two princesses, not to mention the theories of beings like Discord, and Nightmare Moon, as I've heard many theories that Luna was in some way "infected" by the nightmare. Hasn't the production team stated that they sorta intended that Luna was affected by something that either latched onto jealousy or caused it?

Twilight Sparkle, Grab all your friends...
Necklace, necklace, necklace, necklace, necklace, and big crown thingie!
Discord, we are SICK of your nasty flank meat based cupcake jokes, or the slander of out dear friend Pinkie's name.
We've got only one thing left to say...
TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHERBUCKER!!!!
Have you guys thought about making an iphone/ipod or android app.? if so how would you sort of plan it out? because that app would be awesome.
VastaKustutaIf episode three was a preview of how the entire season will be: Do you think this season is going to feel like it was written more for our community? Do you think kids can even grasp the awesomeness of what happened when Twilight went insane?
VastaKustutaHow do people react when you tell them you are part of a blog that gets over a million views every 3 or so days? Or an even better question: Have you ever told anyone that you are part of a blog that gets over a million views every 3 days or so?
VastaKustutaDo you think that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is going to be the next Harry Potter when it comes to fan fictions?
VastaKustutapersonaly i think its pretty close. :P
List ALL the Memes!
