Ponies

By Cununculus, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Twilight even said so in episode one.

Definatly agree with FlutterRage. First time she goes" You will all LOVE MEEEEEE!" I went all "daium, Fluttershy, u got scary!" that came pretty much out of nowhere.

Oh not not "cupcakes" again ;)

You know I had never heard of that story till someone mentioned it here. I hated it. I actully had to stop reading it for a min right after RD said she wanted to go home before she was killed. It actully hurt to read it, seeing her die.

I want to make my own version were shes saved before she gets killed. The story would be about her recovery, her challange of not being able to fly agian like a normal pegasus, and that no matter what she will always RD and loved very very much by her friends and family.

I think there's only one conclusion we can draw from this...

All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!

LOL I saw a new vid on youtube I believe that shows a purple unicorn being the only normal person in town and how every major event screws up their life LOL

I still love the fact that I once saw a pony desperately trying to convince himself that the mother of his children hadn't been screwing around on him after he saw that neither of the kids looked like him.

Twilight even said so in episode one.

I don't think anyone expected that to be foreshadowing ;)

With regards to cupcakes, for the most part I can accept it as just another badly written shockfic, but there are a couple of elements of it that have started to niggle me. The main one being that now everyone thinks that Pinkamena = cupcakes. Cupcakes Pinkie was happy and cheerful (pretty much our everyday Pinkie), whilst Pinkamena is Pinkie's inner fear that noone loves her.

Edit: That said, I am liking this vid:

Season 2 Episodes 1&2, they defeated Q from Star Trek, and got the A New Hope medal scene as a reward.

If I remember correctly the babies looked nothing like nether of the parents. LOL

I think their fertillity clinic used the wrong eggs.

Could be worse the Cakes could of ended up with Dragon Pony babies like the ones Luna uses for her guard LOL

Has anyone watched that Princess Luna game that is listed on creepypasta? She is haunted by the ghost of Pinkie because Nightmare Moon made her kill Pinkie.

She butters your toast...?

Besides, Pinkie's not the one you guys need to worry about...

@Neko I watched a vid showing That blue unicorn actully was a human stuck in the pony world. She is finally able to go back too her true home through the mirror BUT she smashes it after entering it to prevent poines from entering the human world and viceversa. LOL

The people that worked on these videos have made the story telling art shine bright with honor he day the finished these works.

Did anyone see Tabitha St. Germain preside during a brony and a pegasister wedding at the 2014 Nightmare night / Halloween event in Texas?

It was VERY cool very funny. It was uploaded to youtube. Deadpool shows up =)

Okay, pony fans. I'm curious about something. What's your take on those "Conversion Bureau" stories? Read about them on TV Tropes and found the whole concept immensely disturbing.

Also, why exactly do you watch the show, if you can tell me? I watched a bit of an episode a few years ago trying to figure out why my friend's brother had come up and started ranting about ponies at me, but very quickly decided it wasn't for me. I'm curious as to what the appeal is, since I can't see it myself.

That was easily one of the weirdest conversation I've ever had. I'm sitting there talking about some game with my friend, and suddenly his brother storms up, points at me, and says "tell me you don't watch My Little Pony." That was how I found out what bronies were. Also what sent me to TV Tropes to try and figure out what was happening, because I hadn't heard of knowyourmeme yet.

I grew up with the idea that toys for boys and girls are separate, and toys for girls are rubbish. I remember first encountering this with a few Lego sets "you mean to tell me this set only has two persons and something resembling a house, but more like a wireframe cube..? Would somebody choose this over a *boat*?" In the same context girl cartoons had nonsensical plots about tea parties and slumber parties.

So when I saw a pony-mashup video with a Starcraft 2 trailer, I was a bit intrigued. This show had dragons, manticores, hydras, magic battles? This can't be totally bad.

So I watched the first episode. I liked the central character for being incredibly nerdy and being somehow critical of aspects of the show ("Why would I want to make friends?", "Tell me she isn't singing.." etc.). It was light, joyful, had ok characters and a plot (yes I was suprised there even was one) And then I saw the next, and the next. I don't know if it was my suprise that a girl's show could actually have interesting characters and plots, but I continued watching it. At some point, I concluded that "ponies are cool": It had a very interesting character progression throughout the first season, one you don't see ever in a kids' cartoon, good animation, "fantasy" setting with magic and dragons etc.

The root of the matter is that the show was designed to be watched by kids and their parents', as has been previously stated in this thread.

Fast-forward to today we have 4 seasons' worth of episodes, with season 5 prepared for 2015 I think. Animation quality has increased a lot, character progression has toned down a bit, there are a lot more adult references now (not adult-content but adult-oriented shows, Doctor who ponies appear all the time, Big Lebowski makes an appearance, etc.), battles are more epic, there are more fantasy creatures and world-building lore.

As to your question about "Conversion Bureau", I stay away from fanfics, and because you say it's disturbing I'm not even going to attempt to look into it.

A fanfiction based on a show marketed at little girls should never make me think of the "death by personality loss" concept, nor should it make me think of Phyrexians. What makes it even worse is according to TV Tropes the author admitted that it was mostly wish fulfilment because he wanted to be a pony and hang out with the main characters.

Thats fans for you! Now there are thousands of bronies out there, but the ones that are gonna stand out are the more freaky ones. the rest of them are all normal people who like the odd combo of cute ponies kicking dragons, hydras, manticores, changelings, tribbles and chaos gods in the face!

Now as to why the fanfics are so much nightmare fuel ...

("Oh why must we give these kindhearted creatures such dark backstories?"- CR on MLP:FIM)

1. You can't make your fanfic any cutier or more awesome than the show already is, so the only path left is going to the darkside.

2. Once again that whole cute/evil contrast can be very intresting.

3. If you think conversion bureau is bad stay the h3ll away from "cupcakes"

4. This happens with most (ALL!) fandoms: ther'es harry/hermiony fanfic in wich they kill the Weaslies (putting it lightly)

5. The whole humans wanting to live on equestria thing? It also happened with Avatar and people calling themselves Navi-kin.

6. To sumarise: People are WEIRD and some fans are WORSE.

7. Stick to your guns, err i mean: stick to the canon.

I gave it a shot because a girl I play D&D with is really into the show. I found what I saw amusing, so I watch an episode every now and then if I have nothing else to do.

I got hooked because I was trying to find an alternate "Happy Birthday" for a friend.

That lead me into Party of One, in which Pinkie Pie goes off the deep end.

I like the show because it managed to be innocent without being insipid. It has good, well-rounded characters, and actually contains a surprising amount of growth for an episodic show.

As for Conversion Beaureaueu ... There are two versions. Version A is that our worlds merged, and magicless beings literally cannot survive, so the ponies turn us into ponies to save us. Version B is basically Ponrexia.

I don't have time too read the whole story but from what I saw it wasn't creepy. I thought it was badly made though. I don't see how being a pony like from the mlpfim universe is going to make your life better when it comes to relationships with other people when these ponies are 100% mentaly like humans. We see them screwing with people b ponies in the main series, hell their some that work for the forces of darkness. Also if by being a mlpfim pony is so great realationship wise why would Luna feel betrayed by everyone else in their universe? If things are all splendifuris that emotion she felt, as ell as being unlike / unloved wouldn't be possible, or next to imposible.

O before I go on, I saw someone warn everyone off from fanfiction, I can only agree that the stuff that keeps being brought up right now in posts about disturbing mlp fanfic should be avoided. I made a huge list of videos you should check out on youtube, I haven't heard a disturbing mlp fan written song yet.... now that I mention it will now exist.

Now I also find it funny from what I red that the main 6 are repulsed by humans. When you see twilight crossover into a human world in the canon stories she actully is more attracted to the human version of a guy she knows from her universe. This has some crazy issues in itself. Its also not just her ether.

Also the writter thinks humans would just bcome ponies, its their universe so I guess that's ok, but in he canon, when they travel to other universes they become other creatures. So far ponies become humans, dragons become dogs. We also see that the human universe equv characters follow this crazy law. Stranger still is that diamond dogs in the ponies universe are deformed hhumans in this human universe. Its not for sure humansgoing to the ponies universe would become poines.

For all we know that rock that pinkies sister is taking care of was a human that crossed over into the ponies universe.

Well I guess that would help evrone get along right... the onlything peopl would care about then is rock and rol.

If you think conversion bureau is bad stay the h3ll away from "cupcakes"

I actually wasn't fazed by that. Not the first time someone's written a gorefest of a story, so if anything I was disappointed. All these people hyping it up as the scariest thing on the internet and it was just torture porn. Conversion Bureau contains a lot of ideas that terrify me far more than a serial killer with ADD.

This is what happens when I search for "pony Phyrexia" and click on the first result. I wonder if you still have to sacrifice all your permanents when you damage this thing, isn't that the really timid one?

I don't have time too read the whole story but from what I saw it wasn't creepy

The thing that makes it so disturbing to me is that from the TV Tropes article it seems like humans that convert into ponies lose basically every aspect of their personality. There's a concept called "death by personality loss" that essentially states that such a dratsic change in who you are is like death--Black Knight Leader dies, but Black Knight Leader the pony has his memories. If it helps, just try to imagine taking a hit to the head and suddenly hating ponies, Star Wars, and other things you really enjoy. Then apply it to almost everything else that makes you, you. It makes me think of the Borg or the Reapers, just wrapped in a less threatening appearance and with cutesier names.

I also don't like the misanthropy of it. The lengthy rants about humans ruined everything grated on my nerves when all I had to read were a couple of quotes from the story, I can't imagine how anyone got through an entire story like that.

I haven't heard a disturbing mlp fan written song yet.... now that I mention it will now exist.

Oh, it's out there. I'm surprised you haven't heard it, I saw this when I was first trying to figure out why there were people my age watching a show called Friendship is Magic.

Also, the quote system on this forum is really hard to use properly. Everything else is fine but quoting only those specific parts of your posts would have been a nightmare, especially since some of you also quoted people. So instead you get yellow words.

Yeah I know what you mean, the device IM using doesnt have the ability to copy and paste. I also cant see webdresses, to surf around I have to use a search engine that comes with the app.

@1streply: I only saw one sentence and it was like "humans are gross blah blah," so I take it half the story is anti-human rant.

@2ndreply: Its not my kinda music, I hate robot voice / autotune. I couldnt listen to it all nor watch it all, what was the disturbing thing?

I for one, welcome our Ponrexian overlords!

I got into it from watching THIS. I especially liked Fluttershy's bit. Then i realised that the audio might be a gag dub, but i was still watching a tiny pegasus step up to a huge dragon, and i just had to go watch this series...

For some reason I now have an idea stuck in my head for a Pinkie/cupcakes type crossover fanfic. All I will say is "There are 3 flowers in a vase. The 3rd flower is green."

(The Dark Side has cookies for anyone who gets the reference.)

That reminds me of "Ponies: the Anthology" (1, 2, and 3 are out). Go. Enjoy.
