You want to help someone decide their favorite pony by showing them one episode for each of the mane 6. Which episodes do you choose?

Each of the mane 6 gets one episode to best represent their character.

Which episodes do you choose for which ponies?

#mylittlepony - #This Week on the Plounge (Upsies Edition)


This Week on the Plounge (Upsies Edition)

Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'How many Ploungers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?': 'This Week on the Plounge' wherein I inform you, the fine folks of the mane sub, what's been going on at your favourite sister subreddit, the Plounge, this past week.

Wait, what is this Plounge you speak of?

The Plounge, or more formally the MLP Lounge is /r/mylittlepony's sister subreddit. Designed to be a place where you can free of the tyranny of rules 3 and 4. A chill place for bronies or anyone to talk in a SFW chat centric environment. It can be found over at /r/MLPLounge. (most of us browse by /new though). Oh and BPM is considered essential for optimum Plounging. (we don't mind the occasional blank post over there)

Up some casual conversation with a sprinkling of ponies? Come over to this introductions thread and meet some people.

#horses - #Super embarrassing question


Super embarrassing question

Hello equine friends. I just got a full time job as equine manager at a therapeutic riding barn and I'm walking in jeans all day. Well, to be honest, I'm starting to....chafe...where my legs meet my torso. Does anyone have remedies for this? Or at least experienced this so I don't feel so awful about myself? I'm in jeans all day and am currently working 12-hr days. Summer is coming. Pls help!

What songs would you like to hear The Rainbooms play?

The world of EQG has met our own and The Rainbooms now have access to our repertoire of music.

They are limited to their instruments, so they can play the songs of bands as big as or smaller than them.

As a refresher, they have two electric guitars (Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer), one bass guitar (Applejack), one keyboard (Rarity), one drum set (Pinkie Pie), and one tambourine (Fluttershy). For the sake of more Fluttershy variety use let's assume she can also use similar shaking instruments.

#mylittlepony - #The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread


The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (April 20th, 2017) today, you know what that means...

It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!

Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):

  • Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.

  • Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.

  • Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!

PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any. I'll start the first few threads myself, and reply with a gentle reminder if you forget. Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!

#mylittlepony - #My Little Markov Bot: Stuff /u/mylittlepony_SS says


My Little Markov Bot: Stuff /u/mylittlepony_SS says

What is this about?

I have decided to start a weekly series about /u/mylittlepony_SS on NPT, covering its current activities, as well as going over some of the posts that I personally think were it's 'greatest hits', so to speak.

The format of this series will be fairly straightforward. I'm going to open with a small selection of the last week's posts to showcase. Then, a 3-post feature about some of the best posts it has ever made (by vote count - I'll probably start from the top and work my way down, so you can spoil yourself on this section by just reading the user page, but what's the fun in that?). And then a 3-post feature on some of the less popular posts that I still felt were pretty funny, which will be digging much deeper into its history to find the gems that didn't get as much exposure. Note that this last section, at least for the first several weeks, will mostly consist of quotes I've shared previously to /r/subredditsimmeta, as I need time to compile a list.

Some quotes will be trimmed for comedic effect or just because, Markov Chains being what they are, there is often a lot of gibberish included. Anything trimmed will be replaced with [...], so you can know that the post is incomplete. I will be including a link to each post so you can see the full version, and to see the posts in context, as some of them are far funnier in response to what the other bots are saying. I will provide a brief summary of context if the context is important, so you shouldn't ever need to click the links, but they are provided for convenience. Please note that some links will be intentionally broken, for the rare occasion that the context might cross the line of Rule 2 - these are exceedingly rare, but there's historically been a couple of them.


What is /r/SubredditSimulator?

/r/SubredditSimulator is dedicated to emulating various subreddit communities, in the form of about 200 bots that communicate solely with phrases generated using Markov Chains - and based on their related subreddit as a source. In fact, the subreddit completely restricts posting to just those bots, so you can't even directly interact with them. /u/mylittlepony_SS is the bot that posts on /r/SubredditSimulator using our own subreddit as the basis for its 'speech'. As a result, it is capable of using emotes - which the admin of /r/SubredditSimulator has ported into their subreddit to let /u/mylittlepony_SS be as accurate as possible. It has occasionally posed very intriguing thoughts regarding our beloved show - and has otherwise made some hilarious statements in context of the other bots' discussions as well.


This Week, From mylittlepony_SS


This week was surprisingly coherent, including some jabs at Applejack being a background pony, and Flurry Heart being used on Kickstarter for an Angry Birds game.

On to the posts.


I think every fan has had this moment, when they accidentally spoil themselves. -- Thread

mylittlepony_SS:

From the last time EQD teased this idea, I'm going to ignore everything you said and make it feel more real.


Everyone always has a conspiracy theory about the VAs... -- Thread

mylittlepony_SS:

Well according to the credits, Luna was played by a actress famous for being a Tumblr brony. [...]


The mysterious passage in question apparently brings second thoughts. It makes one wonder exactly what was read. -- Thread
mylittlepony_SS:

I just finished reading it and I honestly don't think I wanna do this anymore...


Top Posts From mylittlepony_SS History


#1: Getting Political. mylittlepony_SS appears to be mulling over the possibilities if Hillary Clinton had won the election. YouShouldKnow_SS follows up with a list

TIL that if elected, Bernie Sanders won 911 delegates, the people of reddit, what is the most childish thing you've Circlejerked? -- circlejerk_SS
mylittlepony_SS:

Yes, those were just examples, there are so many things in the world that would have resulted from her victory.

YouShouldKnow_SS:

Cancer, heat stroke, solar flares. [...]


#2: Train Ride? This one honestly made me spit out my drink the first time I saw it, and it still makes me laugh to this day. -- Thread

mylittlepony_SS:

People get outright hostile about shit like this, and I know its cathartic to vent but this is the only source of food on the entire ride back to Ponyville.


#3: Twilight's Magical Experiments It's getting out of control, but perhaps she's doing the cat a favor?
The title of this thread is mildly NSFW (verbiage, not picture), but I personally think the context makes this post funnier. Click link to see full context.
mylittlepony_SS:

I'm going to expand it into a strawberry that looks like a cosmic monstrosity from their perspective.


Some Personal Favorites

mylittlepony_SS:

This one started off as gibberish, but then seemed to get irate about someone else's post. -- Thread
mylittlepony_SS:

[...] so I'm going to cram a broom inside you sideways.


mylittlepony_SS must hail from Germaney -- Thread

It's not available in my country, but you can get a sense of humor.[...]


That's all for this week. Let me know your thoughts about the format in the comments; I take feedback very seriously.

#mylittlepony - #Random NPT reading activity!


Random NPT reading activity!

Inspired by this post over at /r/mylittlefanfic, I think I'd like to start a recurring activity here.


Activity: Read a random fic and share your thoughts!

Rules: Guidelines:

  1. Pick a random story (or you may pick several, don't feel the need to limit yourself to just one per week)

  2. You must read the story the random picker decides for you. You may decide on a few exceptions beforehand:

    • Rating / Content: (example: mature, clop, gore, fetish, etc)
    • Max / Min word count (example: less than 2000 words)
    • Genre / Tag (example: No EqG)
    • Completeness / Sequel status
      If the random story violates any of your exceptions (or is empty/deleted/unpublished/zero words), feel free to generate another.
  3. Post a link to the story you'll be reading.

  4. Come back next week on NPT and tell us about the story!

Note: No one's going to really enforce these, but the point is to read something you otherwise might not have found. Honor system and all that.


Let's discuss this activity in the comments below. Is this a good idea? Who's going to participate? I think this would be fun because I often have "hangups" about what to read, but this takes the guesswork out of picking something. I'd like to hear your thoughts and figure out if this is something we should do on a regular basis.

My Little Pony on Reddit - You enter a Meta Discussion. It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!

Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!

If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!

But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.

If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:

[It has ponies!](/spoiler)

Becomes: It has ponies!

And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread here!!!!!

Have a great day, everyone!!!

Sunscreen suggestions?

Hello fellow equestrians. With summer around the corner, things are starting to heat up! Do you any of you have any sunscreen suggestion that work well for equestrian-based activities? I ride, and help out around the barn, so I will be sweating in the sun for long hours. Thank you, and happy riding!

I heard the other day that white horses are lower in rank and sometimes even cast out by other horses, because they are more likely to be seen by predators. Does anyone know of a source that either proves or disproves this?

#mylittlepony - #What are your thoughts on correlations between the skin (nose) color of a pony and its coat color?


What are your thoughts on correlations between the skin (nose) color of a pony and its coat color?

As we all know, the little ponies we all love and enjoy are not drawn with any differentiation between their coat and their skin on their muzzles. However, it also seems unlikely that they are actually covered in a homogeneous coat over the entirety of their body, so the lack of differentiation can be assumed to be artistic simplification.

That said, there are two main options for what we can assume their muzzle colorations to be:

  1. Similar to IRL equines: mostly black but occasionally pink, per this Wikipedia article on equine coat colors. Here, the show simply omits that coloration entirely as part of its aesthetic.
  2. Ponies have a skin color similar to their coat color. With this option, the show would be assumed to do less artistic editing of how the ponies "actually" look.

I got to thinking of this because I was specifically curious about Celestia and Rarity, since they have white coats. Would they have pink noses, light grey noses, or something altogether different?

A third hybrid option would be that there are more skin color than just black and pink but fewer than the number of coat colors, so each skin color has several coat colors it is typically associated with.

What are your thoughts on this subject?

Personally, I think that (assuming option 1):

  • Celestia would have a pink nose
  • Luna would have a black nose
  • Rarity would have a black nose as well (she's technically not a true white horse)

P.S. I won't be able to respond to you for a while—have work and all, so go ahead and discuss among yourselves
