#mylittlepony - #This Week on the Plounge (Nothing Important Edition)

This Week on the Plounge (Nothing Important Edition)

Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'Bleventeen Thousand Ploungers': '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 nice to have. Even if you're allergic to using emotes yourself you'll miss a lot of extra context without it.

What some casual conversation with a sprinkling of ponies? Come over to this introductions thread and meet some people. Don't worry there's also a topic so it ain't just "hi!" "hi" awkward silence.

News

Nothing important.

Regulars

Every week there are two Plounge member of the 'day' AMAs! You can sign up here. AMAs since last week's TWOTP are...
- NONE!? NANI!?
Character Discussions Threads (weekly on Fridays) courtesy of /u/I_Condone_Pone:
- Sassy Saddles - One of those rare ponies who don't use the standard model.

In time, you too can waste 5 years of your life on the Plounge. Follow your dreams.
Y'know how Yay Ponies hasn't really been updating? Don't worry they're fine, just some tech hiccups.
I can't keep up with slang these days.
This post is nothing important. I'd skip it.
Is it bad that after reading the title of this one I thought it was gonna be a meme?

#mylittlepony - #On the sociability of the pony species:

On the sociability of the pony species:

(Disclaimer: This is 50% evidence-based, 50% random headcanon)

So, ponies are not human.

That's a simple statement, but it has some hefty implications. They sometimes behave similarly to us, yet there are also some very fundamental differences. One of the largest and most critical to understanding pony behavior, in my opinion, is that they are a highly social species - one might almost call them super-social.

Consider:

Inclusion into a social circle is a highly important part of pony life; whether defined as family or group of friends, ponies often define themselves by the company they keep.
Contrastingly, failure to be included in or recognized by an important social group is a fundamental root-cause of psychological disorders, with individuals being driven to aggressive action or even violence in order to establish a social order they can be included in. Conversely, exclusion from a social circle is recognized as a major punishment.
Many of the idealized heroes in their society are recognized in large part not on the accomplishments of their own, but as part of a group: The Royal Sisters, Element-Bearers, Pillars, Wonderbolts, and so on. Within the group, however, there is a clear emphasis on chain of command - who is foremost, first among equals, etc.
Ponies often engage in social bond-building behavior such as mutual grooming, physical displays of affection such as nuzzling/hugging, and freely sharing of resources within their social group. While this behavior is existent in juvenile humans, both juvenile and adult ponies display it.

In fact, there's actually a very good word for this: Herding. In this fandom it's occasionally come to mean a sort of harem-fantasy, but the accurate definition is far more than that - relating to the dependence on a social group and transmission of ideas between them.

I would argue that ponies' status as prey animals contributes even further to their heard-centric behavior. The almost fanatic attachment to it is not a widespread disability but a legacy of the time when there was real safety and benefit to be found in a herd.

To us, the average pony might actually seem overly-social: Constantly seeking attention or participation in "the group". Conversely, long periods alone might lead to seemingly-excessive reactions (both positive and negative). Interestingly, one unchecked zone is how ponies determine social order. A pony who does not have an obvious leader nor (themselves or another) might become uncertain or nervous until the group's clear leader is determined.

tl;dr - ponies are a herd species. They literally cannot be healthy without friends.

#mylittlepony - #The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (March 1st, 2018) today, you know what that means...

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

And we're in Week 15 of the Season 7 to Season 8 Hiatus.

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!

Anyone?

AppleSawsB read the MLP fanfic Wayward Courier and he deleted his original reading to make a revamped one that he never went past one? Does anyone have the original audio files or a link to a site that has them?
