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


This Week on the Plounge (Double Edition)

Did ya miss us last week? I was otherwise occupied and unfortunately none of the rest of the hard working Plounge mod team was able to pick up the slack.

So here's a double edition to make up for it.

No I can't be bothered to change the bits of the post that say things like 'last week' 'this week'. 'cos knowing me I'll forgot to unchange them next time.


Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'tediously copypasting links into this post': '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 - #Curious if...


Curious if...

My neighbor is a weird fellow. Let me back track. My neighbor asked to rent my horse to stud him. He offered me a lot of money (which I could use). I thought this to be odd since he doesn't have horses on his land. I saw my friend Nancy at the farm store and she knows my neighbor (ex boyfriend) and I told her about this. She told me not to do it because he had mentioned before that he wanted to film her with a horse. Sorry if this is TMI, but just laying it out there. My mind says no, but my bank account says yes. Also I am not 100% sure he wants to do anything improper.

#mylittlepony - #The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread


The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (July 27th, 2017) today, you know what that means...

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

HOWEVER, let's do something different for a change. I've noticed several fanfics (usually older classics) that get repeatedly recommended without fail in these threads. Sometimes, it's for many threads in a row. Whereas, there's plenty of great lesser-known works (either old or new) that remain in obscurity. So, this edition of Fanfic Recs aims to rectify this. In the future, there'll be more special editions like only posting fics from post-2015, specific genres, etc.

Therefore, for this edition, in addition to the rules below, please DO NOT recommend fics that were recommended in the last thread. You may search this spreadsheet to easily see what fics were recommended last week. I'm hoping this help push us towards recommending other works.

I'll eventually get around to adding the previous weeks to that document.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.

Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!

#mylittlepony - #What are your favorite headcanons that were ultimately disproven by the show?


What are your favorite headcanons that were ultimately disproven by the show?

Title is pretty self-explanatory. What are some of your favorite headcanons you had that the show unfortunately ended up disproving at some point?

Here are a few of mine:

1. Magical glows are non-diegetic.

This is the idea that the colored glow we see around unicorn's horns when they use magic is something that only the viewers at home can see, not something that's actually visible in-universe.

This theory would have explained so many plot holes in previous episodes, such as why Applejack wasn't able to immediately see that Twilight was magically manipulating her cart during Winter Wrap Up (even though her glowing aura was clearly visible on the cart), why nopony noticed that Cadance's magical aura color had apparently changed to green in A Canterlot Wedding, why Pinkie Pie wasn't able to immediately work out that magic was involved in closing the curtains on the train during Mmmystery on the Friendship Express, or why nobody commented on Rarity's sudden change of magical aura color during Inspiration Manifestation.

Alas, Rarity just had to go and ruin this theory by remarking about the luminescence of unicorn magic near the beginning of Dragon Quest, leaving this theory dead in the water and the aforementioned plot holes unexplained.

2. Equestria's planet is flat

In a world where the sun and moon have to be raised and lowered magically, the idea of a round planet makes much less sense than it does in our world. For example, what are the creatures on the other side of the planet seeing when Celestia raises the sun? Do they believe it just moves around randomly on its own? And if the sun and moon are really as big as they are in our world, how are Celestia and Luna able to move them? If the two sisters really are that strong, it seems like they should be much more powerful than they seem to be at other points in the show. Picking up a mountain and throwing it at an enemy should be child's play for them, but we've never seen them do anything nearly that powerful in a combat setting. Furthermore, the sun and moon seem to change positions much more quickly than the speed of light should allow given how far they are away they are. After Celestia "raises the sun", there should be an approximately 8 minute delay before anyone on Equestria sees any visible difference in the direction the light from the sun is coming from (16 if you assume magic is also limited by the speed of light), but instead the difference is noticeable almost immediately.

These inconsistencies are easily explained if you use a model of the planet and solar system that's substantially different from the one present in our own world. In particular, if Equestria were flat and the sun and moon were magical entities rather than celestial bodies governed by the normal laws of physics, these problems would be a non-issue. Additionally, given that the idea of a flat earth is a pretty popular idea in fantasy settings, it's a pretty natural fit for Equestria.

Unfortunately, the existence of a globe in Twilight's library and Pinkie's remark about the world being round in Hearth's Warming Eve mean this theory doesn't really hold any water. It's pretty clear that Equestria's planet is round like ours.

#mylittlepony - #How would Cadance, Shining Armor and the rest of the cast react to these variations of teenage Flurry Heart?


How would Cadance, Shining Armor and the rest of the cast react to these variations of teenage Flurry Heart?

It is the future.

Flurry Heart is now 17 years old.

Here are the various iterations of "teen Flurry Heart", all of them based on fan art and the like.

Which versions do you think Cadance, Shining Armor, the Royal Sisters and the Mane Seven would have the easiest time interacting with?

Nerdy Flurry Heart: This version is basically Moon Dancer. She loves reading, learning and studying. Despite being a princess, she is very socially awkward and dorky, to the point the Moon Dancer looks socially well-adjusted, although Flurry is more friendly than Moon Dancer was.

Snobby Flurry Heart: This version is basically Diamond Tiara before her reformation. She acts sweet and lovely in front of the cameras, but she's actually a "mean girl" to the other fillies and regularly bullies them. She's dating the most popular stallion in her class and is very popular.

Ingenue Flurry Heart: A sweet, kind and innocent Disney Princess-type. She's not shy like Fluttershy, but otherwise that's a pretty good comparison.

Punk Flurry Heart: Black eyeliner, spiky collar, mohawk. Punk Flurry doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks. She's already gotten in trouble for vandalism, theft, assault and fighting and other punk activities.

Neckbeard Flurry Heart: She spends all her time looking at memes on the Crystal Computer. Flurry Heart never comes out of her room unless it's for required lessons. She's not a bad pony, but she's very anti-social.

Sporty/Badass Flurry Heart: This version of Flurry Heart is very outspoken and rebellious against things she doesn't think are right. Unlike Punk!Flurry, though, she listens and respects her parents' opinions. She enjoys sports and action-oriented activities, and she wants to learn how to fight, so she can protect the Crystal Ponies if another threat comes knocking.

Party Girl Flurry Heart: She is always partying at the wildest nightclubs with the hottest stallions and the loudest bands. The gossip magazines have a field day with her, but Flurry Heart pays no mind to anyone who says she needs to grow up and be responsible. She's very nice, but ponies worry whether she's ever going to be ready to take the throne. Plus, those gossip magazines claim that she might need to go to rehab soon.

Uber Mature Flurry Heart: This version of Flurry Heart is almost an adult in a teen body. She carries herself with a regal air, is already proficient in magic and often helps in governing the Crystal Empire. She is kind and protective, and even full grown adults feel safer in her presence, despite the fact that she's still a kid. Some Crystal Ponies actually already think of her as the Empress.

Evil Flurry Heart: Acts like one of the others, but she's secretly planning to destroy her parents, take over the Crystal Empire and basically be like King Sombra in the Crystal Timeline. Since she's an uber-powerful Alicorn, she just might get away with it, too.

That's all of the versions that I know of (minus "Vanilla Flurry Heart", but she's boring and normal). If I missed any, sorry!

Hello! I am here to continue Heir's work of rocking AMA's on No-Pic Thrusdays, so if you wanna toss up a question, I'll be here.

 

I finally gave ponies a shot in early 2013 and the first TV episode I saw was MMC after just a few S1 episodes. Fanart eventually followed and it's been a blast drawing ponies ever since. My stuff is over on Deviantart, Tumblr and Derpi.

Advice/exchange: Horses and 24 hour days.

I stopped riding 15 years ago because of allergies and in favor of a musical career and thought I would never go back. Ever. Horses were so outside of my world, it's ridiculous. So last year I inherited a horse and have picked up riding again. He is at a stable very close to my house but I work about 1.5 hours away. My partner works from home and keeps my chihuahua company while I'm at work. I'm usually gone from 6:30 am to... Well, here's the problem. I go see my horse 5 days a week after work, which is the minimum for a horse in a stall, I think. The 6th day, the trainer trains him and the 7th day he has a day off. He goes out in the pasture twice a day, every day. Of course, 5 days a week gets to be a lot of being gone from home for my boyfriend to deal with. He has voiced concern about this three times now and I'm not really sure how to answer because I can't not go... How do you people deal with the massive time consumption of having a horse and balancing it with a relationship?

How this works is, before the show [or as comments in this thread] we asked our audience to write down scenes they'd like our performers to act out. We took the good ones and put them into this butterfly net Sia was wearing as a hat. Let's see how many our performers can think of, starting with...

My Little Pony on Reddit - An Instrument That Would Not Only Supply Inverse Reactive Current for Use in Unilateral Phase Detractors but Would Also be Capable of Automaticly Synchronizing Cardinal Grameters. Such an Instrument is the Meta Discussion

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 that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!

Have a great day, everyone!!
