Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'gojuuon': '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.

Like how Twilight and company prioritized pushing back the everfree over saving all the enslaved ponies? Would it not be best to try to save everyone first and then push back the forest with all the extra help? Or you would think the emotional attachment of Rarity/AJ to their sisters would push them to save them over hacking at plants for hours.
Another thing... why were the kingdoms such a pushover? Like come on, in the event of an invasion no pony puts up any real resistance and just hangs around waiting for the mane 6 to come save the day? I understand they needed to set the stage for the story arcs over the season but everything just felt so... off.
Greetings, everypony! It is time for the yearly Manechat recruitment post! Do you like to talk about ponies? Maybe you want to do it live while an episode is airing? How about some other stuff from time to time? Do you like to play video games with people; nerd out about the newest episode; theorise about Equestria and its world; share and discuss creative works, or perhpaps even talk about some other media every now and then? Then check out the Manechat Discord server because it's likely the place for you and there's never a dull moment!
Manechat is a lively and friendly My Little Pony Discord server where ponyfans like yourself can discuss MLP, gaming, technology or anything else you can think of in a fun and animated chat! We have over a hundred regularly active users so there's always someone to talk to! The server originated as the unofficial /r/mylittlepony discord server. Although our name has changed, we still share a lot with this subreddit, like the rules on behaviour and on spoilers, and adorable emojis and animojis (which are almost as good as BPM, I swear).
Follow this link to join in on the fun! Once you're on our website, make sure to read the rules listed, then press the join button and you're good to go! We also have a subreddit used to post discord related content like the Art Challenge, but it can also be used to contact the admins, click here to check it out!
Hope to see you there! And please pony responsibly into season 9 but do not go gentle into that good finale.
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!!<
And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread here!!!!!

In the season 9 opener Chrysalis is seen ranting to herself and magically carving the likenesses of Changelings (pre-reform) into logs in a forest somewhere. We know from the season 8 episode 'Mean Six' that she has a spell capable of creating sentient life from wood (although a big more complex than just carving an image of the creature into said wood.)
Do you think Chrysalis was planning to painstakingly carve herself a new army one Changeling at a time? Or do you think the former Queen had finally flipped her lid and was just carving images of her former underlings out of loneliness and a need to have someone to rant at?
This is the thread for discussing anything pertaining to Fanfiction in general. Like your ideas, thoughts, what you're reading, etc. This differs from my Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread, as that focuses primarily on recommendations. Every week these two threads will be posted at alternate times.
Although, if you like, you can talk about fics you don't necessarily recommend but found entertaining.
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.
