They also underped the eyes, which is the main cause of panic. I would be totally okay with the change if they left the eyes derped.

But no, there's no way that's going to ruin the show for me. I liked it without having to spot Derpy; Derpy is just a bonus.

In the end I think Derpy, as a product of the fandom, should have remained within the fandom. And I know I'm not alone on this one.

But now Derpy's been retroactively underped. It's made the fan-version (and background version)...awkwardly contradicting.

She's only underped in the one episode, though. It's not like she's anti-derp through the entire series.

And only in the DVD version of said episode. To be honest, other than the possibilty that she will never again be named (or worse, given a different name), I'm completely fine with this whole thing. The new voice is much closer to what I'm sure everyone had in mind before the episode originally aired, and one of the animators has confirmed that she will continue to be derp-eyed in upcoming episodes.

You've got that backwards. She remains derped in the DVD version (since they were already printed when they changed it), and everywhere else she's un-derped.

Oh. Coulda sworn the underped eyes were only in the DVD version. Ah well, at any rate, it doesn't really matter much, IIRC, it was only a couple of shots that had the normal eyes, and following episodes will still have Derpy as her usual self.

No no no no no. Its the iTunes version that has the un-derped eyes. That's how we have video of it. (Obviously, if it was only on the DVDs, Sethisto would be the only one to have seen it, and by disributing the video he would compromise his good reputation with Hasbro and they'd stop sending him free stuff). The DVDs were printed before the episode even aired, so they would never have had the chance to un-derp them.

Ah, right, of course. I really need to stop being so much of an idiot.

Absolutely beautiful. At least by my standards.

So after a series of fortunate events, I was forced to write this e-mail to one of my teachers:





I can't f***ing wait for the reply.

EDIT: Updated with response. Apparently she doesn't know of the show, but that's okay.

Cool story, bro.

You sure about that one? 'Horsing around' seems like a pretty clear indication that she DOES know of it.

Nah. She probably picked up on the whole "equestrian dialogue" thing and made a pun; she does stuff like that.

So I was browsing an old forum thread about Planet X/Nibiru a few weeks ago, and I put a certain post in my personal notepad and forgot about it. A few minutes ago, however, I looked at my personal notepad and rediscovered it... it's terrifyingly accurate.

My personal belief is that in 2012 giant alien my little ponies are going to descend from the heavens and stomp the human race into extinction.
