My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy)

Ace Rimmer · 2012-01-21 14:14:35

Haven, actually I feel kinda on the outside because MLP gives you all a common bond that I don't share.

Bunny · 2012-01-21 14:17:57

There's an easy solution!

Also, while you're conforming, better start liking Homestuck, and Magic the Gathering, and Grocery Stores, and Road Signs...

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 14:18:33

Eww, Homestuck.

Haven · 2012-01-21 14:19:18

Haven, actually I feel kinda on the outside because MLP gives you all a common bond that I don't share

Well, that is the magic of friendship Really, you're not the only non-brony on the forum. And if you were, no one would care.

Ace Rimmer · 2012-01-21 14:20:08

But I already like MTG

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN MY AVATAR?

@Haven: Its just bothering me at the moment.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-21 14:20:31

I like tons of stuff nobody else cares about.

Shit happens

Bunny · 2012-01-21 14:20:44

I honestly can't see what your avatar IS. It's very tiny.

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 14:21:50

I think it's that one card... Protector of the parish or something like that? :/

Ace Rimmer · 2012-01-21 14:24:26

Also known as Clock's and Ramus's favourite card

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 14:25:10

Wow, I had it almost right!!!

Bunny · 2012-01-21 14:27:09

I still like Fiend Hunter.

...Dammit, I really need more Innistrad cards. I need a working Zombie Deck, and I need to split my Human/Spirit deck into two seperate decks...

Ace Rimmer · 2012-01-21 14:28:12

@Bunny, I run a white solider deck

Haven · 2012-01-21 14:33:09

If CA were here, she would post this:

Bunny · 2012-01-21 14:41:51

Can't wait until WoTC reveals the Equestria block

Justice4243 · 2012-01-21 16:09:47

Wow...her name is now officially "Derpy Hooves", it seems.

Go team Bronie.

Bunny · 2012-01-21 16:14:12

I still would have liked "Ditsy" as a name.

But I'm okay with this.

Tachyon · 2012-01-21 16:14:17

^^ :D

I knew they'd adopted the name, but I didn't think they'd actually use it in any official media.

@Whale, I completely don't get any of the MTG jokes or references. They fly right over my head.

And NOBODY GETS MY REFERENCES ;_;

Except Imi did once. (I should start a Sherlock Holmes thread, except it would probably end up discussing Sherlock, which I haven't seen yet and my DVD is in England.)

Bunny · 2012-01-21 16:21:07

I wouldn't be able to help you there.

If you were talking about Jekyll, though, I might end up getting the reference.

Do you wanna play lions?

Tachyon · 2012-01-21 16:26:39

Do you know, I've never seen Jekyll either?

I'm a massive Doctor Who fan and there's all this Steven Moffat television I've never watched.

Ace Rimmer · 2012-01-21 16:27:03

@Bobby: Where do you live now?;o

Haven · 2012-01-21 16:27:27

I'm a massive Doctor Who fan and there's all this Steven Moffat television I've never watched.

Huh. So you're not a consigliere in the Moffia?

Tachyon · 2012-01-21 16:32:29

Wales, Whale.

No Haven, for that position you need to be called Matt Smith, Alex Kingston, Mark Gattiss or Benedict Cumberbatch.

Gelzo · 2012-01-21 19:39:43

Equestria block isn't that farfetched considering they're both owned by Hasbro and they've done joke blocks twice already and I think they intend to do more at some point in the future.

It's still pretty farfetched and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go over well, but I wouldn't have my perceptions of reality shattered if it happened. I imagine it'd be more likely for them to design a mock-up of an announcement for the fake set for April Fool's Day.

In any case, I know from experience that a disproportionate number of MTG players are fans, so even if the market would be small, it would certainly be there.

Bunny · 2012-01-21 19:40:25

Twilight Sparkle is best planeswalker.

Gelzo · 2012-01-21 19:51:04

Well, a "spark" did awaken in her in the first episode. In the MTG multiverse, planewalker sparks often come to those in extreme danger or stress and awaken planeswalker abilities. It's not hard to draw a connection if you want.

Bunny · 2012-01-21 19:54:02

Oooh. I like.

I imagine the set would be named Unsaddled or Unbridled, just because I can't honestly see them making a serious Pony set.

Obā-san · 2012-01-21 19:59:03

Unbridled.

Gelzo · 2012-01-21 20:01:30

>serious pony set

Oh god, there would be so much rage. If even one of them was playable in Legacy, ponies would likely be a permanent fixture of the game in every non-rotating format. Also, they'd be a canonical part of the multiverse unless there was some sloppy retcon. It's probably even less likely, because the coupling of those IPs might cause legal issues if Hasbro wanted to sell one or the other, but I'm not a lawyer.

Not that the prospect of intense nerd rage at ponies doesn't strike me as entertaining, but there are legitimate flavor concerns. Also, the people working on the show might object to setting their characters in a crazy violent and disturbing environment in any official way.

Bunny · 2012-01-21 20:34:37

Twilight Sparkle's Ultimate:

Summon every pony card in every player's graveyard, hand, library, and exile zone to your side of the field. Friendship is Magic, bitch.

Tachyon · 2012-01-21 20:41:34

^ Cannot stop laughing. XD

(This would in fact be the way to get me to actually play MTG)

Bunny · 2012-01-21 21:18:41

(Note to self: Make Unbridled an actual thing, get Fourier to start playing)

Princess Alice · 2012-01-22 01:05:18

*sees Magic derail*

Well then, I--

*Haven already posted my video*

Goddammit.

The user and all related content has been deleted.

Tachyon · 2012-01-22 01:36:27

It's a shaggy dog story ending in a terrible pun.

So yes.

Gelzo · 2012-01-22 01:40:41

The reaction I got upon its original posting was great.

Tachyon · 2012-01-22 01:43:22

I can imagine. :D

Haven · 2012-01-22 05:11:20

^^ For some reason I thought this came right after you posted that, but apparently it was unrelated.

Anyone else read Fallout Equestria? I binged about half of it today, it's oddly compelling even though all the pony gorn, especially early on, was almost enough to turn me away.

Gelzo · 2012-01-22 05:23:06

I think I've made my fan fiction prejudices pretty clear.

Tachyon · 2012-01-22 05:30:20

This is still the only MLP fanfiction I've particularly liked (part 3 is by far the best), but I haven't actively sought any out.

Gelzo · 2012-01-22 07:06:07

You know, I remember back around before season two that some fans were paranoid that the show would start pandering to the older and more male demographic with stuff like toilet humor.

Now we have two episodes in a row where those bodily functions have been directly and plainly referenced, and the sky has yet to fall.

Forzare · 2012-01-22 13:25:58

Fallout Equestria is the best fanfic.

^ Fans are funny that way.

Viani · 2012-01-22 14:34:45

uhhhhhhuhuhuhuhuhuhu. Kick em in the nads, Applejack.

Viani · 2012-01-22 15:08:47

I just realized that a yuri doujin I was reading was about....humanized
ponies. I didn't notice this until I saw the girl with purple hair turn
her head, to where I saw the Twilight stripe, and then I looked at the
redhead she was seducing and her pink bow....

GOT DAMN IT.

Regardless it is very good.

Haven · 2012-01-22 15:19:35

Look again! The yuri is now ponies.

Anything's possible when your man-ga smells like kids' shows and not tentacles. I'm on a horse.

Viani · 2012-01-22 15:46:15

Gelzo · 2012-01-22 15:46:31

I didn't know we had already moved on to pony doujin.

On the other hand, I wonder what took so long.

Rottweiler · 2012-01-23 01:10:54

So not only is Pony Loki fanon, he has his own tumblr.

I want so much for him to be canon.

Viani · 2012-01-23 01:12:51

Is "Ask X anything" Tumblrs a meme or something?

Does somebody get elected to sockpuppet a character to do that?
