Wait, why's it shocking?
ReplyDeleteFirst?
ReplyDeletedarng it :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a pretty damn good Drawfriends earlier, wasn't it? I love this fandom! You guys make it all complete.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to take a glance at that pony genetics bit; sounds very interesting.
Frist? Anyway it 2:10 I going to bed
ReplyDelete@Jelfes look at the picture
ReplyDeletefluttershy is best tree i will give her that
ReplyDeleteAnd all the more reason for me to regret getting Skyrim on console.
ReplyDeleteWorry not, Seth -- I made sure to properly ground myself before clicking on the link, thus averting any possible damage to myself or, more importantly, my computer.
ReplyDeleteI just need to say
Twilight is the best pony
Sorry, Applejack
Scootaloo is NOT trash
ReplyDeleteApplejack is best pony. She's also my favorite
ReplyDelete(sarcastically) yes very shocking seth. Fluttertree never been done before. Nope never.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Loesch, Margaret Loesch, Margaret Loesch.
ReplyDeleteI'll remember that name for the day when I need to badger her to continue My Little Pony.
Well, it certainly is shocking how awesome Scootaloo's singer is.
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum I'm guessing because an animal attacked Fluttershy?
It's shocking because Scootaloo isn't a bird at all, but a dog~
ReplyDeleteScootaloo sure does sing better than how they make her in the show.
ReplyDeleteChainmail and MLP, interesting combination. (inb4 full Luna chainmail suit)
@Jelfes its in the sky, Scootaloo looks dying with a tree jutting out of her back, the world.is covered in what looks like Rainbow Dash hues.......think....
ReplyDeleteApplejack is always best pony. Just had to post that.
ReplyDeleteThe genetics writeup is linked to an earlier work. The actual link is at http://theaceofspadez.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4hjid0
ReplyDeleteThe round up was...nice
ReplyDeleteA tree is growing out of Fluttershy's corpse or something. Of course it's shocking.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI will never look at trash the same way again.
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum That's Fluttershy, not Scootaloo. It's doing a joke on the whole Fluttertree thing. I'm going to amend what I said and guess that Seth was just being sarcastic/joking.
ReplyDeleteThat pony genetics was totally the wrong link Seth and I wanted to read it too :(
ReplyDelete@Nimbus Buster Here.
ReplyDelete@Jelfes Ah, my fried! Its been brain!!
ReplyDeletePerth Bronies reprosent! :p
ReplyDeleteHaiku is easy
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator.
@Calsan You, sir, made me laugh hard with that.
ReplyDeleteDat Scootaloo teaching us about trash
ReplyDelete@Calsan LOL
ReplyDelete@Calsan that's like the
ReplyDelete"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Some poems rhyme,
This one doesn't"
Poem
The Pony Genetics link is actually incorrect up there, it's located elsewhere on my DeviantArt profile.
ReplyDeleteThat poor Fluttertree. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Advertising Age article is nice. Doesn't really delve deep into some aspects of the community, but that's fine. It is a positive little article.
Some of the YouTube comments under the Martha Speaks trash video are kinda funny. But yes, she can indeed sing pretty well in reality. :P
Believe you got that link slightly wrong in the Pony Genetics section, Seth. But at least it links to the correct profile on dA. lol That thing really is quite long. Maybe I'll read it later. But I can only imagine trying to sort out their genetics to make scientific sense. :P
@Octavia agreed.
ReplyDeleteYay! My link submission made it in! ^_^
ReplyDeleteWasn't it Rarity who designed Mare-Do-Well's costume? Of course she's a genius! ;)
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteActually, his is a perfectly 'legal' and correct haiku (I actually have a T-shirt with that on it). Your poem there would be more like writing a haiku along the lines of:
I can't write haikus
I can never end them right
I use too many syllables on the last line all the time.
Also, I greatly enjoyed the pony genetics piece (thanks Obscuria for including the correct link!). I've been very preoccupied this last week due to things going on with my family; reading that helped give my muse a bit of a kick, which it needed, so many thanks to the author for that!
Oh, so THAT'S what you're supposed to do with trash...
ReplyDeleteWow. I just got told.
ReplyDeleteOk, who else imagined Scoots singing that trash song? I demand a Scoot VS Sweetie Belle singing showdown! : D
ReplyDelete@Calsan Haha, I'll have to remember that one
ReplyDeleteI don't like Haiku. Because I suck at writing. Way too restrictive.
That genetics...wow. Who would have thought somepony could take a cartoon and create something like that.
Scoot's got a pretty good singing voice, I must say.
ReplyDeleteThe haikus are rather nicely done, too! Here's one that popped into my head earlier after watching S2E2 again:
Discord dared return.
In for a nasty headache.
LOOK OUT. HERE COMES TOM.
(The mental image that brings to mind may be more amusing to some...)
Who is that handsome devil in the Terran shirt?
ReplyDelete(You'll never guess)
Wowowow! Old comment system is back?
ReplyDeleteYOU WA SHOCK
ReplyDeleteA picture of me in EqD is pretty shocking... is that what you're talking about Seth? Perth bronies ftw!
ReplyDelete>AdAge article
ReplyDeleteWow, you guys are fast! That's only been up for a few hours now.
I submitted it but you already had it. :P
Holy crap a meetup near me!? Buck yeah!
ReplyDeletePony party at Holiday Matsuri? I can only hope my friends and boyfriend aren't too busy with one of their 9 f*%&ing panels so that I and my boyfriend Dashi can go. Oh, the life of a member of aniRAGE.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if anypony who plans on going to Matsuri also has a Facebook page, I highly suggest joining https://www.facebook.com/groups/146878045402261/ The Central Florida Bronies group. It's the largest (and still growing) organized group of bronies in the region and is the best way of contacting fans who aren't yet aware of EqD.
People still play on Moon Guard? WOW. (No pun intended.)
ReplyDeleteI left MG five months ago.
There's never a meetup by me, am i the only brony near Chicago? XD
ReplyDeleteThe top image reminds me of Deadly Premonition. Such a weird game.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how a TV show/news article was what tipped me over the edge into "bronyville" (only been at it seriously for 72 hours.) If anyone watches World's Dumbest over here, their Twitter feed posted an article from the WSJ. And then one night after the show, whoever was running the feed started talking ponies. At first I was like "huh?" so I delved a little further into the subject and was never able to pull out, which I think is a good thing.
ReplyDeletethat pony genetics made my day
ReplyDelete@Obscurica
ReplyDeleteHoly Guacamole!
I just EXPANDED the pony genetics thing in the dude's comments section! Character count is up to 16469 characters, and half the thing is a chart filled with 2 letter allele codes!!!
WUT HAS I DUN!
LES GO MAK PONIZ! LOLOL!
/)O_O(\
>Pony party Holiday Matsuri
ReplyDelete>Orlando, Florida
HOLY FUCK YES I'M THERE FOR VACATION UNTIL TOMORROW AFTERNOON
>December 16-18
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A Skyrim mod for the latest episode already? Slow down, you're making it look too easy!
ReplyDeleteThere's finally a bronie event where I live. Awesome! …I feel like I'm suddenly overcome with shyness though… and I'm over it.
If I'm free I'll check it out. Never was too big on parties.
He blinded me with SCIENCE!!
ReplyDelete/Science!
Too bad there's no AJ Cutie Mark keyring. D:
ReplyDelete@ MarkTheCat
ReplyDeleteThe keyring maker does customs :P
Seth, if you post about WoW guilds, you should really post whether they are on EU or US realms as well. Because it gets kinda confusing.
ReplyDeleteShould've waited till episode 11 to use the science, cause that episode will demolish any theories anyone has or will have till then.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting Sabrina Alberghetti had a pretty big say in how that costume would look.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if I can get that magazine article in print? I don't wanna buy a reprint from the website though, is that magazine in Books a Million by chance?
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking that Seth would actually be dumb enough to post a link to anything regarding pony genetics since it has been word of Faust since season 1 that any combination of pony parents can birth any type of pony. (Obviously excluding Alicorns)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Octavia We only had 250 words, couldn't go very in-depth.
ReplyDeleteSomeone get that chicken out of the trash!
ReplyDelete@Cylestia
ReplyDeleteThat's fine. I wasn't saying that it being shorter was a bad thing.
@Tomasaki
ReplyDeleteSabrina said she didn't design the costume, and that it was just a coincidence she was given that episode to storyboard. She was pretty excited about it, though.
@ZAquanimus
ReplyDeleteWhat's dumb about it? Some people enjoy coming up with detailed explanations for fictional scenarios, and other people enjoy reading them and appreciating (and sometimes debating) the logical work that has gone into them. The purpose of this wasn't to "prove" that different types of ponies can interbreed.
A RP WoW guild that happens to share the same name as the Hero half of the supergroup on virute.
ReplyDeleteO.o
@ZAquanimus
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking that you have just expressed your own lack of understanding of genetic theory to such a degree, that you just made every geneticist amongst us here to laugh uncontrollably at your comment, all 2 of us.
Through mixed alleles, you CAN have ponies born in a variety of breeds, with expressed breed type of the parent's not necessarily matching the parent (like how eye or hair color can very, or traits skip generations). My analysis puts Pinkie Pie at only a SINGLE allele away from being a true alicorn like Celestia (and seriously... It's just how the list ended up, it was not a guided effort... I was shocked too) AJ, Twi, and RD turn out to be pure Earth, Unicorn, and Pegasus type ponies. Rarity and Fluttershy both end up having some earth traits mixed into their natural breed, and Ironically, it's the EARTH pony genotype with balanced expression of both horn and pegasus genes that serves as the foundation genotype that allows for the trigger of a proper Alicorn, such as Celestia or Luna...
That is... at least according to theaceofspadez's theory, as well as my own expanded theory.
So in short... you are only arguing with yourself because you simply don't have an understanding of the subject matter.
I thought we left the dark ages a millennium ago. You don't need to insult Seth for posting an intriguing thought experiment that really felt good to decipher and understand and expand upon. I enjoyed the theory!
You really shouldn't have such a negative attitude towards creativity. It's depressing.
ALREADY MISSING DISQUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThrough mixed alleles, you CAN have ponies born in a variety of breeds, with expressed breed type of the parents not necessarily matching the OFFSPRING (like how eye or hair color can very, or traits skip generations).
I REALLY miss that edit comment feature!
@LostSaint72 No you're not! Well, OK I live 30 minutes away from Chicago, but it's nice to know there's bronies in Illinois :).
