Imagine if you had encountered a Brony cashier. I wouldn't have managed to have left the store. XD




Also, lately, this song has definitely been at the very top of the playlist. It is rock solid on it.




Shivers. I swear...

The Lyrics & Links

Yeah. Watchu know 'bout Nightmare Night, son?!

Welcome Fillies and Gentlecolts; No reason to scream
Your favorite Princess is back; She's walkin' up on the scene
She has been stuck on the moon, but that's no reason to fret
She's not a Nightmare no more, so buckle down and get set
She's comin'; Gracin' her subjects. She ain't leavin' no choice
She's gonna blow you all back with her Equestrian Voice
So cover all of your fears and stowe away all your fright
The Lunar Princess is back; to bring the Nightmares Tonight

[WoodenToaster]
She's living in the past
so you won't last
Without the proper care

With a royal farewell
And an animate spell
You won't have long to prepare

[Mic]
Now little fillies, this is Nightmare Night
Your ruler Nightmare Moon is back to come and fill you with fright
So Hurry
Now get your goodies and fill up all your bags
And go and leave a candy offering for that big ol' hag
Get runnin'
And pray above that she's not coming back
To come and take away your soul and eat you up for a snack
So run away and go hide; just keep your head out of sight
The darkness is rising again cause this is Nightmare Night

[WoodenToaster]
She's living in the past
so you won't last
Without the proper care

With a royal farewell
And an animate spell
You won't have long to prepare

One of my IRL brony acquaintances worked as a cashier for a while. I really wanted to bring up a subtle MLP reference while checking out, but I didn't really have the opportunity.

But still, Beta Link. That's awesome. Someone will be either really happy or incredibly confused.
Also, the SlapChop is pretty nice. If he REALLY wanted to give a uselessly silly joke gift, he would have bought a Snuggie or ShamWOW.

[Fabbrizio]

HEY! I like snuggies. They're so comfy. <3

Anyway, the success of my story is scaring me a bit, so I'm going to work my ass off on chapter 2 just to satisfy them for a while. With any luck, I'll be able to publish new chapters on a weekly schedule, every Tuesday.

[Beefster]

Be careful about weekly updates. Sometimes you have to be patient with inspiration.

Well...so I just watched the pilot episode of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Encounter at Farpoint. And I realized...The Return of Harmony is just one giant homage to it.

Consider the parallels:
1. Discord = Q, in EVERY way.
2. Discord/Q challenges the protagonists to prove themselves, and loses due to his overconfidence.
3. Discord/Q leaves a definite and obvious correct answer for the protagonists, but his strategy is to lure them away from that obvious answer.
4. Though defeated, there is no guarantee that Discord/Q won't return.
5. Deanna Troi and Spike both have very distinguished "Make it stoooooooop!" moments.

I don't know...just, the similarities seemed a bit too numerous to be a coincidence.

Thoughts?

Just watched it.
I'm actually going to have to disagree somewhat. Discord is much more sinister than Q, but yes, their personalities are quite similar.

It's definitely a shout out, but the plots have no real similarities. Just similar characters. What you're suggesting is quite a stretch.

Regarding Snuggies: My sister once got my dad a Snuggie for Christmas as a joke gift. It saw decent use. My dad also once bought a few ShamWOWs and he was serious about it. They don't work quite as well as advertised.

I declare all your minds officially f***ed.

I wrote a crossover of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with...

...itself.

Have fun! <3

So I finally buckled down and read the whole first chapter...I demand MORE! I really hope you get into all the internet stuff like the great brony exodus from 4chan that gave birth to Ponychan and whatnot.

My friend who doesn't even care for MLP saw the first two episodes of season 2 and couldn't get Q out of his head when watching it. I wouldn't have known as I haven't seen the episode of Star Trek of which you speak. (Not into Star Trek. D: )

EDIT: @Beta Link: I hear you on buying ponies. I bought one a few months back as a birthday gift for a friend who enjoys the show, and I'm actually going back tomorrow to buy another one, as she's mentioned she'd like to get the whole main (I refuse the puns. ):<) cast.

I'ma be honest - a week ago I was as anti-Star Trek as you could get. But then someone pressured me into watching The Next Generation, and...despite my best efforts, it seriously hooked me.

[Moonbread]

If something sounds bad or whatever and you absolutely hate it, it's because it's a rough draft or because you have no soul. Just a rewritten intro of Beauty and the Beast.

~Pony and the Pony~ (okay not really, but that would be a hilarious name)

“Once upon a time, in a land far past the Everfree Forest, a beautiful mare lived in a shining castle. And although she was royalty and had everything of her heart's desires, she was still spoiled, selfish, and unfriendly. But then, one winter's night, a peasant earth pony approached her door, offering a sunflower in exchange that the beautiful mare would let her stay for a night before she'd have to trek back through the Everfree Forest. Repulsed by the appearance of this earth pony asking demands of royalty, she sneered at the gift and turned away; but the earth pony warned the mare not to be deceived by appearances, for friendship is found in all places, even the most unlikely. And when she dismissed the earth pony again, the peasant pony's appearance faded away into an elegant, regal pony, with a magnificent mane like no other. The mare tried to apologize, but it was too late; for she had seen that there was no harmony in the mare's heart. As punishment, she stripped the mare of her beauty, and cursed the Everfree Forest and her castle with a powerful spell. Ashamed of what she had become, the mare locked herself away in her castle, with the moon as her only window to the outside world. However, the sunflower she had offered was enchanted, and if the mare could learn the magic of friendship and create an everlasting one before the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken; but if not, then she would be forever banished beyond the Everfree forest for all time. However, as the years passed, she fell into despair and lost all hope, for what pony would ever befriend a beast like herself?”

Well, I just started writing my fanfic. I went ahead with the title "A Moonlight Dance" because I couldn't think of anything else and I just wanted to hurry up and starting writing it. Once again, progress will be in my sig. This is the last time I'll post about it until it's finished and made publicly readable (No, I won't be publishing the chapters as I finish them. I'd rather release the entire thing at the same time.) or if a problem arises/I need your opinions on something.

EDIT:

Thoughts on new episode

Awesome and hilarious episode. Best of Season 2 so far, IMO. Can't be bothered giving an in-depth opinion right now, maybe later.

Well, that episode happened. It was really great. Spike is so romantic.

Spoiler

When Spike was about to say that he loved Rarity and Rarity said she already knew and covered his mouth, that was the best thing ever. I don't know why, but it was great.

Rarity is Han Solo confirmed.

[Fabbrizio]

Holy s***.

That is all.

[Beefster]

This definitely ranks up there with Lesson Zero.

Spoiler

I thought for a minute it would be an episode on dragon puberty.

More or less, it was. I believe Zecora said something along the lines of that with dragons growing up, they become more greedy. Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but that's what I inferred. But it wasn't like a lesson about puberty, it was a lesson about GREED. In caps.

[Beefster]

Spoiler

I knew it was on greed. But when Spike got bigger and his voice cracked, it sent me looking for a red herring.
