Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

I've taken three separate, unrelated quizzes including the Hasbro one and I'm unanimously Twilight Sparkle.


I'm okay with this.

As far as I know, "The Hub" is a broadcasting channel, i.e., the signal comes from an antenna through the air. Whether or not there's a signal in Hawaii is a different matter.

Pretty sure The Hub is cable and satellite only. Kind of a bother since I don't have money for either.

Huh, I get "The Hub" on my set, and it has rabbit ears.

Lucky guy.
"The Hub" channel only comes on cable in my area.
So no MLP or other hasbro shows unless it's on Hulu/YouTube.

In other news, I gave up trying to understand brony-dom.
There is some really, REALLY weird stuff out there on the interwebs concerning bronies.

Yeah, the weird stuff that comes up around MLP: FiM is stuff that generally comes up around any fandom (Pokémon and Sonic were notably tainted by 4chan and rule 34). The brony community is certainly much friendlier and more innocent than many online communities and the majority disagree with anything that goes too far against the show's charm. Just avoid anything labeled 'Grimdark', 'Shipping', 'Clopfic' or 'Cupcakes'.

In terms of understanding the phenomenon, maybe this article will help.


In other news, I found a compilation video of intros from all the MLP cartoons. Being as unbiased as possible, this is definitely the best generation. Some of the old cartoons are a bit weird, I mean this is like a suicide scene.

There's weird stuff out there concerning everything. Some of the weirdest stuff I've seen concerns Homestar Runner, and Legend of Zelda.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

Just saw a promo to the tune of California Girls. Genuinely didn't expect to hear the word "bronie" in it.

EDIT: Here it is.

I've been converted.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

I've now set up Equestria Radio in an app on my iPhone, so I can stram it constantly wherever I am.

I painted this pony a while back for the "We Love Fine" My Little Pony t-shirt design contest.  I was a finalist, but I didn't win, hence my finally getting around to posting this:

Wow, at that resolution you can see the brush strokes. I voted for you, but the winner was really cool (and I ordered it).

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

It is really cool, smeagol. Who was the winner?
Also, only 10 days? I can't wait. Too bad I can't watch it on TV though, I guess I'll have to wait a bit more.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

Yeah, I liked most of the winners pretty well. I'm not sure my design was all that ideal as a t-shirt, I was mostly just aiming to make a good piece of artwork of about the right proportions for a shirt. I did paint the whole thing with a tablet stroke by stroke, so there's quite a bit of fine detail that doesn't show up at lower resolution.

edit: The winners, for anybody who wanted to see those

Someone pointed out to me that all the episodes of season 2 are going to be livestreamed here. So you can still watch it on the date!

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

I don't know why, livestreamed sounds like "it will be a bit choppy". I'm fine with waiting, but thank's a lot for the link anyway, I'll check it out anyway.
Btw, the second runner up is probably my favourite one. They're all awesome, though.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

They should also be uploaded to "The Hub"'s website a day (no more than a week) after the episode airs.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Appreciation Thread

Going to be hosting a MLP marathon the day before the second season starts with some friends. They claim to be bronies, but they've only seen Party of One.

Going to be pretty awesome. mini/bigsmile
