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

This Week on the Plounge (Con Edition)

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

MoonriseUnicorn - if you can read it answer, please.

Hi, I am one of the Persons to whom you sent "The God Particle" and your other stories, just before you closed your account on Fanfiction. I was trying to get in touch with you, and I hope that you're alright. I am still translating it to Polish (I'm writing books now, so I don't have a lot of time), but since you said that other people shunned you for writing fanfiction, my father wanted to say that many artists had the same problem and many things considered today works of art, were called stupid when they were first shown. So Please don't give up. I either emailed you from the account that ends in vp.pl or Gmail that has two words before @ starting with n and y.

#mylittlepony - #I found out what mythical creature The Sirens are

I found out what mythical creature The Sirens are

(This is a re-do of my post with an almost identical theme made many months ago)

​

So I found out what The Sirens actually are, or at least heavily resemble. Not many people seem to know. In fact. I know none who do.

Take a look at these images here:

​

https://i.redd.it/zglramrbdvd31.png

​

https://i.redd.it/kn05x8hfdvd31.png

------

And then take a look at this creature called a Hippocamp. However, keep in mind that it being mythological, there are many different renditions and drawings of it. I tried to incorporate both new, and base, ancient ideas.

So is it just me, or do the Sirens heavily resemble Hippocampus'?

EDIT: Spelling.

My Little Pony on Reddit - Meta Discussion Pizza Party! Give or take some pizza

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!!<

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!!

#mylittlepony - #General Fanfiction Discussion Thread

General Fanfiction Discussion Thread

Hi everyone!

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.

Have fun!

#mylittlepony - #Impermanence, Buddhism and the yaks.

Impermanence, Buddhism and the yaks.

So recently, I watched the episode Uprooted for the first time... It was terrible, but that's a different matter. However, there was a single line at the very end of the episode, that made my brain go wild.

"Yaks know things not forever. That's why smash and rebuild."

I maintain the opinion, that the yaks are the best non-pony culture in the whole show. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but they really do seem to be the ones to understand the magic friendship. And not only that, have their own twist on it and their own wisdom to share with ponies.

Many are disconcerted about how the ponies always seem to be the ones to teach another creature a friendship lesson, making it seem like they are automatically right by sheer force of being the protagonists. But more than once now, the yaks have relayed their own friendship lessons to ponies.

Now I want to get back to Yona's line, because I greatly appreciate just how much accidental genious there is in that single comment of hers. There's basically an entire foundation of a culture inside it. A culture where children are taught about the nature of impermanence, through playful traditions involving breaking things into tiny pieces.

Because life is like the satisfaction of smashing a rock. It's momentary, it's short, it's meaningless. But it brought a moment of happiness, and every second of that needs to be celebrated.

(I wonder what their funerary traditions are.)

I remember, in one episode Yona talks about their not-christmas traditions. Obviously it involves breaking things, but there was also something about building an effigy, that symbolizes friendship or something. And it is the only thing they don't break.

Do you see it? They see that physical things are impermanent, they understand that loved ones are impermanent as well. But they know love is a constant. Even if everything and every-creature ceases to exist, love will always remain.

No wonder they sometimes teach friendship lessons to ponies; their whole ideology revolves around it. Ponies may treat love as a force with physical power, the yaks see it as the only thing that will remain forever. And that's a great power on its own.

I bet there are many religious parallels to make here as well. Could the yaks be closer to Buddhism than we thought? Maybe they grew out of an aztec-like warrior culture.

(I bet the yaks make amazing mandalas into the snow, only to watch it melt in the summer.)

Anyway, I don't really have much else to say about the subject. I just wanted to indulge myself and be a little positive about the late-show for a bit.

What do you think?

Pony stuff you want to talk about but isn't worthy of a dedicated thread! #65

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?
