Ta daaa! I actually didn't think I had any pics, and then I found her in my Photobucket! I got her for $5 or so, I think? And I found out, while taking her picture, that her hair still changes! She was in braids when I got her (hence the crimping), but OMG, her hair is not an absolute frizzball mess like most of my color-change ponies are. /ramble

Here's what I REALLY wanted to ask the first try, LOL! Show me a picture of two identical ponies - BUT they have to have one noticeable difference! That can be a rehair, a color-variant, a swapped head, a stain, a haircut, anything to tell them apart with! :)

Um, Relcelestia, you can't SEE the scent ... silly. :lmao:

Well, for this one you can, maybe. Her special scent was RUST!

EDIT: Whoops, I was too slow for this one! But I hope the silliness can be appreciated anyway, so I hope no one minds doubles~!

OMG, that may have been the cutest thing - ever. I loved it! I wish this was a real show, it's just so campy and nostalgia-bomb-tastic!

I'm not 'old' old, per se, but I've been here for a good few years! Joined in 2006, but I lurked for at least six months before hand, maybe more like a year. I was into ponies, but I wasn't as aware of how much fun the fandom was - I think what originally got me to join was an art contest (I wanted to win a pony!!), and I got more addicted as time went on! :P

Pony Corral / Re: If you could have an army of any pony...
« on: February 04, 2012, 08:10:50 PM »
I would love a Rapunzel army, just for the bragging rights. And imagine how many different hair styles you could get, with alllllllllll of that hair! Afro, braided, crimped, curled, wavy, bone-straight, mohawk, beaded, etc., etc.

But now that you mention the 'all white unicorn army,' that sounds really good to me, too! Man, what a lovely army that would be. I'd go so far as to say mommas Glory and Moondancer could come too, and maybe Rarity and Sweetie Belle too?

Ooh, what a fun thread! It looks like you have lots of ideas already! I'm trying to look at old designs of mine that I thought would look cute as a pony, that might incorporate mild sculpting ...

1) Do you like Pineapples? Do you feel like sculpting pineapples AND boy-pony hoof feathers? XD You could make, surprise at the name, PINEAPPLE! http://fav.me/d19al1p He also has an orange in his hair, but I think he would work fine with just the white and yellow, too. Or maybe white yellow and a little purple?

2) Angelfish! You could sculpt the little fish hanging off of his/her mouth, or just stick it on their butt as a symbol. http://fav.me/d1io2d4

Best of luck finding your next inspiration!! ^_^

Tarring all bronies with the same brush and feeling superior are things people should watch out for.  When you're into CHILDREN'S CARTOONS and collecting piles of of CHILDREN'S TOYS, there isn't a lot of room to be snotty. People outside the fandom think YOU are ridiculous as well.

I know this wasn't intended to be so, but I'm actually taking this as a point against Bronies. Mind, I am involved in Brony communities, and they have generally seen 'us' (the older fandom) as 'weird old ladies collecting hundreds of toys in their house filled with cats.' As far as I know, there wasn't a significant Brony-backlash in any of the older communities until the Brony community started to go south. I know that I, personally, try to be welcoming to Bronies whenever they come here, because they belong just as much as we do - but I'm not as Brony-positive as I used to be, either. (Meaning, I'm welcoming to Bronies in a one-on-one basis, but I have some doubts about the community as a whole/some of the more vocal members.) In their minds, they are 'cool' and 'not like us' because they are fans of the cartoon only - so I'd say that this whole :muffin: Pony issue is only showing more of their poor attitudes towards people who are not exactly like them.

I did notice trolls capitalizing on this and saying :muffin: Pony is a anti metal health issue name
...... thwy equated it to calling someone an rtard.. i thibk thats where the faracas came from....... sadly in this instance i think the trolls won ;_;
I don't know how people on other forums reacted, but a lot of people here have said that too, myself included, and we're not trolls. Her name IS derived from and insult towards people with disabilities, and even if that wasn't intentionally meant as in insult in naming her that, that doesn't make the history of the term ":muffin: Pony" go away. So people have a right to be offended by it and by others' insistence that they need to get over it. Frankly, I think Hasbro could/should have avoided this all by not using a fan-name officially to begin with like every other fan-named character, but I suspect it was done by the studio without the larger company realizing it.

no im sorry. You're wrong... as someone who knows the origin of the memebecause i was aroundthe site it came from you are wrong... you arent a troll but you sure have been duped by them.

Actually, I've spoken with a lot of the first people who wrote the complaint letters, and even the fan who wrote the petition, and none of them are trolls. :) They are all big fans of the show, and they're upset by :muffin: Pony's portrayal not because they hate her, but because they love her. Similarly, I signed the petition, and I'm not a troll... unless I'm an extremely convincing one who joined the fandom in its earliest days PRECISELY to troll it! So I'm either a normal person... OR THE BIGGEST, MOST INTELLIGENT TROLL WHO EVER LIVED? >:}a

I could go on and on quoting these posts forever. This is why I left the brony community. These people are self-entitled brats. IT IS A SHOW FOR CHILDREN!!!! They had no problem calling her :muffin: Pony when it wasn't canon, and after FiM handled making her canon poorly suddenly that isn't good enough? I hope FiM/Hasbro never listen to the bronies again. I can't stand people like this. While I realize not all bronies are like this, most are. I'm not surprised they haven't gotten any better.


Hear, hear! :P So many Bronies are nice ... and yet when you see them come out in droves, it's to defend offensive stuff like this. Sad, really.

In the hopes that this thread will still be here tomorrow (I'm kind of predicting a lock, NGL - it's a very heated topic), I'll just give my shorthand: I'm glad that Hasbro has responded 'well' (e.g. not brushing off the fans/being offensive, as the voice actress Tabitha St. Germain and others have been), and isn't dismissing anyone's concerns, and is actually actively making changes to the way they do things. It's so typical for a big company to say, "Well, it didn't offend our TEST GROUPS, so you can go sit in a corner and whine" and be utterly useless in this kind of thing. So, yay for Hasbro! (That said, I don't want to lose the episode entirely; it's a good episode! Just a little problematic, but it's only in the first few minutes that :muffin: Pony shows up; the rest is fine. No reason to pull it entirely, I think.)

I love :muffin: Pony, as a character - but not as a stereotype. I hope Hasbro recognizes that most of those protesting :muffin: Pony want to see her stay, and be her sweet, quirky, clumsy self, without becoming an offensive stereotype in the process.

tl;dr I love :muffin: Pony, I want her to stick around - but not as a stereotype. I'm glad Hasbro is taking steps to avoid this in the future, and even if all they do is change her name/behaviors for future fans, then I'm happy. (And I'll keep hoping for a :muffin: Pony/Ditzy toy!!)

Oh hey, as far as alternate names for :muffin: Pony go - what about Bubblecup? I've seen that one tossed around lately, I think it's cute!

I really like G4s, but ... they're just too small to do an art-pony design justice, I think! Unless they made a styling-sized pony (or made a 'special' G4 instead of an art one), I think G3 would be best to stick with. And just for my own 'everything MUST MATCH!'-ism, I'd prefer it to be a G3. :P And yet ... a Braeburn would be so amazing!
