Morgoth linked me to a number of French Canadian rock bands' YouTube pages tonight as we were discussing the French language; and now as a result YouTube is convinced that I am interested in all things French. And since I watched MLP:FiM S2 on YouTube, you know what that means ...

... a 2-hour 24-minute podcast, in French, about My Little Pony.

Those of you studying French and who have an interest in MLP, knock yourselves out. XFD at how they recolored Rainbow Dash's mane to look like the French tricolor flag. For those who don't speak any French, try this: skip to 6m00s and listen in at around 6m10s for them saying "Discord." Skip to 1h50m00s to see them freaking out over what appears to be a Flash point-and-click adventure game featuring the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

It appears Bronycon is about to announce Tara Strong.

The countdown and the hint being "D-licious" content basically gives it away.

So that announcement was a letdown..

Why did they have a countdown for THAT? Seriously? It was cool and all but it was just John deLancie singing Discordlicious.

Sneezey, Kadota, are you guys working on bringing Tara to bronycon? Because she's going to like, every other convention ever that ISN'T bronycon. What gives?!

Not sure what to tell you. ^^; But if and when we do get any word of her coming, it will be posted on the social media sites for BronyCon, promise. I don't know Tara's personal motives, so I can't tell you anything beyond that... Sorry...

Season 2 Favorites wrapup

Now that season 2 is over (and there's been a bit of a cooldown period, so people won't automatically just answer "The finale had the best everything" for every category) let's discuss season 2 as a whole and pick out our favorite bits.

Top 3 favorite episodes of Season 2:
1.) Luna Eclipsed- Cracked me up like no other. After the two parter and Lesson Zero which still had Lauren's fingerprints all over them I was worried about how the show would be without her, and when I saw the previews that it was going to be the Luna ep I was even more nervous/excited about it. Luna had built up a huuuuuge cult following, and I didn't think there was any way the writers could please the whole fanbase with any characterization of Luna they decided to go with. I was decidedly wrong.
2.) The Last Roundup- The best utilization of Pinkie Pie of all season 2. I'd been kind of bummed by lack of Pinkie action in s2, as she's best used bouncing off all the other ponies and with the focus moving on one or two ponies an ep she didn't have as many opportunities to shine- even Baby Cakes was just a good pony ep, not great. Then in comes a full group ep and Pinkie is at her absolute finest.
3.) Hurricane Fluttershy- Redemption for the awful bastardization of character shat out by Merriwether Williams in "Putting Your Hoof Down"? Yes, I think so. It made me see both Fluttershy and RD in a better light after seeing not enough of one and too much of the other in s2.
It pains me to leave out Canterlot wedding and A Friend in Deed, but top 5 is a bit much.

Top 3 Favorite songs of Season 2:
1.) Smile- The most cheery song I've ever heard and perfect for lifting me out of any kind of funk. Pony chorus and everyone roof hopping are super highlights of the season.
2.) Find a Pet- Dash and Fluttershy play off each other really well, but Fluttershy's excitement throughout the song make it a load of fun for me (even if I do have to sing RD's parts when ABL and I are driving together).
3.) This Day Aria/Flim Flam Brothers- Yes I'm cheating. I can't leave off either one, because I love the inspiration material for both of them. I'd probably lean more towards Flim and Flam because they're hilarious, but This Day works so perfectly in the episode. A tie it is!

Top 3 favorite moments of Season 2:
1.)

BORKED

2.)

Mane 6 pony ranking (based on S2 only)
1.) Pinkie Pie
2.) Fluttershy
3.) Rarity
4.) Applejack
5.) Twilight Sparkle
6.) Rainbow Dash.
Which is pretty much my regular list except flipping Rarity and AJ.

What say you?

I'm about to read my first real fic called Allegrezza. Promised someone I would give it a chance.

Someone help me.

It's almost impossible to write an awful fic in 50,000 words mate, I suggest you go for it. I might try reading this too.

I haven't read any pony fics, but I have read enough other fanfics to know that just because something is wordy does not make it good. Feel free to google Slash Firestorm if you would like an example.

Let me rephrase that: If the title of a story is Italian, its character titles are in Italian numbers, and it's almost 50,000 words long, it's safe to say it's not awful.

Sorry but that's just poor logic. Needless to say, the person who told me to read this says it is his favorite, and he has read a lot of pony fics. Says it's well written and a good story. So we'll see.

YES (or at least neutral towards):
  • Discord and/or Queen Chrysalis make a return appearance
  • body swap episode
  • seeing a city other than Ponyville or Canterlot
  • more Luna (but not too much! don't want to overdo it!)
  • an episode about the lives of the background ponies
  • Dr. Whooves throwaway line
  • Sean who? Whatever.
  • A brony shoutout? You guys already got one with the music video last summer but whatever.
NO:
  • Mane Six filly flashback episode
    • I don't really want Fluttershy's "we all had a special connection before we even met" line taken any further than it already has been. And since we already had a episode detailing how the girls have a weak connection to one another (the Sonic Rainboom), the only way forward for this idea is to write an episode revealing a stronger connection ... which I'm saying I don't want. Because it's fucking stupid to argue that they had a strong connection (e.g. they all knew each other at filly summer camp or some crap) before they even met.
    • So instead of doing this, give us just one pony's filly flashback. If you want to explore another's, do it in another episode. Don't force connections where connections ought not to exist.
    • Filly flashbacks I'd love to see include a lengthy one for Twilight and an any-length one for Pinkie Pie (particularly her "how I arrived in Ponyville" story), so don't think I'm against the idea of filly flashbacks period.
  • a flashforward episode with the CMCs all grown up
    • No, just ...
    • No. -_-;
  • sea ponies
    • As I think the show's already done a fantastic job of demonstrating, you needn't populate the world filled with ponies and pony variants. Other creatures can exist too. It's stupid to me to populate the seas with "sea ponies" when no such mythical equivalent exists. If you want to go nerdgasm referencing (as they've demonstrated they are wont to do), then introduce the "ponies of the river" (i.e. hippopotami, who should look like hippos and not like fat ponies) and then introduce cetaceans as the sea's dominant creatures (since the hippo's closest living ancestor iirc is in fact the whale)
    • if you want to do merfolk, fine, but *major groan* at merponies. Again, would just as soon you do dolphins instead. Dolphins are cute! ;p Dolphins can be fun!
    • If you don't agree with me, let me ask you: did you like the Appleloosa buffalo episode? Because that's pretty much what this is. You can either have a different creature representing that different culture (which I think is great) or you can have ponies wearing indian facepaint and tribal headgear (which I think would have been far inferior to what we actually got).
  • Derpy Hooves has another line in her original voice
    • honestly, no. I like the new voice better. It's cuter and better fits what I imagiend Derpy would sound like. Yes, the first one fit the "herp derp" mental retardation thing a lot of people wanted but ...
    • the original voice was just way too butch. I like the new voice a hell of a lot more in this regard.

That list is terrible and should feel terrible. For shame, kus. Especially the "brony shoutout" bit.
