Do you think the show would ever have an openly gay/lesbian character? I mean, cartoons like Clarence and The Loud House have had same-sex couples, so why not MLP?
Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'Heavy and Frail': '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.

I know he's like, got a generic surfer dude haircut and mode of speech, but what talent do you have to discover you have in order to get three sea-turtles as a cutie mark?
Since he is an earth pony does he like... use turtles to surf maybe?
Can he talk to them like Fluttershy?
Is he secretly an expert on Chelonioidea?
Is he turtlely enough for the turtle club?
What do you think his deal is?
So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (December 13th, 2018) 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.
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!
So when a unicorn uses magic their horn glows, and whatever they're influencing also glows. For example, when Twilight lifts a book, her horn and the book glow purple. So, during Cadence and Shining Armour's wedding where we meet Chrysalis for the first time, disguised as Cadence, she uses her magic and there's a green glow instead of the pink. Twilight at least should have noticed that. Unless other ponies don't see the glow and it's just for our benefit. What do y'all think?
There are always things about the show I want to talk about, but I'd rather not always dedicate an entire full blown thread to it or it's never the right time to mention because no one would care. Maybe it's a thought that could be answered quickly enough to end discussion or something insignificant and stupid brewing in the back of your head for awhile! Anything you want to throw out to r/mylittlepony and say your piece!
Is there anything you've wanted to mention lately but never got around to it? Anything you want to speak up about for a bit? Any pony topic at all?
This is a weekly event coinciding (mostly) with NPT; off-topic and meta threads will be staggered so this week's off-topic thread is being submitted now and the meta thread was posted 12 hours ago. Next NPT will be the opposite! We do not ask that all off-topic discussion be kept to this submission; it is merely here as a courtesy and you are free to continue off-topic discussion in the comments of other submissions (off-topic submissions, however, are still a no-no). If I could be anybody besides myself, I would be… Have fun!
Welcome to Underrated where I tell you about something in MLP that is underrated. Today, Princess Celestia.
Now, Princess Celestia is a meme basically. It's hard to find a comic about her without either trolling or sending something to the moon.
Actually she is keeping Equestria balanced like a ruler should. In the episode "A Royal Problem" one day of Celestia's schedule involves: multi-public appearances, a fun raiser at her school, dispelling rumours to keep the peace and, addressing a dispute between the mayors of both Fillydelphia and Baltimare for three straight hours.
In the episode "School Daze-part 1" we see her checking on her own school.
Oh, not to mention, she raises the Sun which, in our world, has a mass of 1.989 × 1030 kg. I assume I'm Equestria, it can't be much lighter.
So is the Princess Of The Sun underrated, or is she just as the memes depict her?
I just started watching my little pony, and I love it!
Here a thought, the ponies have only recently decide to get along with dragons, and while the dragons haven't been shown to eat meat, in fact they may not eat meat at all, the ponies probably think they do. And they probably have stories about dragons and some of the other meat eating races eating ponies. So what if there are some ponies, maybe even ones who goes the friendship school, who believe those stories and are scare that they could get eaten? How do think the mane 6 and the non-ponies would react to this kind of fear?
Okay so I wanted to ask, there is this really old Horse game that I played when I was a child. You basically had a horse and had to take care of it, groom it and stuff and send it to races.( No it's not star stable) The problem is, I FORGOT THE NAME!!! It was a CD game, not one you could download from the internet. Does someone know the name of it??
I'm putting for coat shine, weight builder, and omegas. I want to get them on equine omega complete but can't quite do that yet.
Welcome To Villain Talk, where we will talk about one G4 Villain from any branch of the media. We will talk about why we like them, why we don't like them,and any head canons we have about them. This week Gloriosa Daisy
Who They Are: When her family's camp and home was in danger of being bought by Filthy Rich and turn into a spa she found the geodes. They giver her power over plants and she decide to use that power to the campers one last summer of fun so they would always remembe Camp Everfree, then she to much power at once when mad. Doing this transformation she decide to force the campers to help fight to save the camp. She lost the geodes and turn back to normal, and the human 7 help saved the camp for her.
What I think Of them: Where do I even begin with this one, first there the fact her reasoning was stupid. She got this power and instead of using it to earn the money she needed she decided to just give one last summer of fun. Then there the fact that her transformation is boring, I honesty mix up transform state with other EQG villains. I do like her powers and don't even mind the idea that too much magic drives humans insane, even if it can get a little samey, but as a villain she was a let down. Plus am I the only who keeps wondering what this EQG counter-parts in Equestria must be like? They have shown the magic powers that humans get has something to do with their Equestria counter-part, does her counter-part grows vines?
That what I think, what do you think?
So I realized that we will be in the middle of the Hiatus for a while and so a thought occurred to me. Some of the highlights of watching the episodes from Season 8 as they premiered was reacting and discussing the episodes with y'all in real time. We are starting on Season 2 today.
So following up on this yesterday's thread, is the Season 2 Episode 6 "The Cutie Pox" So go watch via whatever means you can and come back to discuss this early episode below.
And here is a link to Season 2 Episode 5's discussion if y'all want to read it and discuss the precious episode in case you missed the threads.
No really. Y'all are more then welcome to add to the previous discussions.
I started watching the show earlier this year when my little sister showed me and other family members the first couple of episodes and while I really enjoyed them, I didn't consider myself a brony or actually watch the show on my own. However that changed back in October when I was on a vacation with my family and watched the episode Putting Your Hoof Down with my sister. We didn't get to finish it and I wanted to see how it ended so I finished it when we got home and got hooked (Favorite character is Fluttershy. One of the most adorable characters I've ever seen). This and Breaking Bad are the 2 shows I'm trying to catch up on right now (Weird combo I know, but 2 awesome shows IMO). Favorite episodes so far are Bridle Gossip, Party Of One,Lesson Zero, 28 Pranks Later, Hurricane Fluttershy, Discordant Harmony, Return Of Harmony Parts 1 and 2, and Twilight's Kingdom Parts 1 and 2.
So yeah, I'm excited to join this fandom. You guys seem like an awesome group. :0)
Then I watched "A Matter of Principals" and I don't think he deserves the kindness that Starlight gave him.
He feels like a crazed, abusive adult who starts tantrums when things don't go his way, then the ponies have to apologize to him so he'll stop endangering the lives of those around him.
He's had multiple chances to change, and while change takes time the creatures around him shouldn't have to suffer through his immaturity and violent behaviors while he's becoming a better creature.
I don't think it's teaching kids the right lessons. It feels like they're saying " If you have a friend that gets angry, jealous, and violent because you didn't invite them somewhere apologize and keep hanging out with them."
So over the years we have had quite a few great villains pop up in the show.
From the mad draconequus Discord,
the Cunning Changeling Queen: Queen Chrysalis,
the Tyrannical Unicorn/Umbrum Pony King Sombra,
and the sociopathic Cozy Glow.
Unfortunately however we do not really get a chance to do a real case study on these characters and what their personalities, habits, general temperaments, and or likes and dislikes are like. Sure the comics have helped expand on some of these characters quite a bit but never in as much depth as one may like. This goes for most of the minor villains/antagonists as well.
Sure we learn a lot about former villains like Trixie, Tempest Shadow, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Princess Luna. But we know dreadfully little about the unreformed.
And thus I came to ask y'all what you think each of our, primarily asking about the Mane ones mind, villains Temperaments and personalities are like in your head? What do they like and dislike? What are their hobbies? And who would they end up working well together with?
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!!!!
