When the show made episode 100, they made an episode focusing on background characters.
If the show made it to episode 200 and they wanted to do another "very special episode", what would be a fun premise?
Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'Oh yeah that post, maybe I should read more the the opening paragraph one day': '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.

A brony on Tumblr who goes by Rusty Nails is in the hospital after slipping into a diabetic coma.
A blog had been set up for "get well" wishes, Cards for Rusty.
Unfortunately, the extent of brain damage means he is effectively gone. If anyone wants to leave condolences for the family, that blog is probably the best place.
Rusty Nails was known for coming up with mixed drink recipes named after other brony Tumblr bloggers, and touched a lot of lives.
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.
My friend recently took it up, and she's begging me to join her. I told her I'd think about it, but I'm admittedly terrified of horses. Is there anything I should know before doing it? Anything I should be doing to prepare physically? I've wanted a pet my whole life, but my parents won't get me one, so I think this might be the closest I'm going to get at this point in my life.
Hey horsey people! We just found out we're expecting a few weeks ago. I made the mistake and let it slip to a friend who works at my barn at a social event. Unfortunately, she didn't keep it to herself and told my barn owner/head trainer. I haven't been out to the barn the last few days because I was sick. I made it back out today and the barn owner definitively states she won't allow me to ride my horse while pregnant, none negotiable. She's never been a mother but believes it could cause a miscarriage. I'm a bit in shock at the moment and not sure what to do. I've been riding long distance, fox hunting, hunter jumper. Random fact- we found out we were expecting on a snowboarding trip and it didn't stop me. I've already ok'd my riding plan with my Dr. (who's a high risk ob.) How do I handle this situation? Did any of you ladies continue to ride while pregnant? I don't know if fighting my way with my barns owner and ruining the relationship I have with her is a great idea. Ugh help me, I need advice.
Thanks family!

Hi friends,
I've loved horses for the longest time. I live in a big city and riding is expensive so when I was little it was just playing horse games (Howrse, anyone?) and dreaming. I took a few lessons each year as a treat but I recently started a more intensive course and, it's so strange, but I feel like I love them a lot less now? I don't know if it's just a phase I grew out of (which I really hope it's not because I still want to love horses and riding). I think it's more because the way we're learning (group lessons with 5-8 students per class) is a little haphazard sometimes. It's more about learning to ride than learning about horses. So I know how to make a horse go or turn, but if it starts moving backwards or pulling at the reins, I really have no idea why.
Two weeks ago I had this massive, terrifying black horse that tripped and I thought I was going to fall off, and then he got annoyed with another horse being too close to him so started acting out a bit. I feel like I'm becoming a more nervous rider rather than just enjoying it. That being set, we were trotting for almost the entirety of my last lesson and it was a blast. I thought I was going to fall off a couple of times then too because I had a pretty fast horse (woo), and I think I realised that my nervousness is more from feeling like the horse will fall or act unpredictably than just me feeling like I'll fall off (so I'm not really afraid of hurting myself if that makes sense).
I guess my question is, are there any good resources on understanding horses for a beginner rider?
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 here!!!!!
Hello to all of my wonderful subjects. /u/sc2_nightmare I'd just like to say I heard through the grapevine that Chrysallis loved her date with you. I'll let you guess which date was actually her though.
This week we have a very special treat! If there's one thing our fandom is known for it's sticking ponies into places they have no business being, and this week we're celebrating it! Crossovers!
Cosplay, guest appearances, you name it: If it's both a pony reference and a reference to something else then it's fair game.
Post or repost your favorite Crossovers to the sub this week, and as always have a safe and fun Hiatus!
As a general reminder this is run by me and not the mods. This is not official, endorsed, enforced in any way.
So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (March 16th, 2017) 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 20 of the Season 6 to Season 7 hiatus.
But, Season 7 is premiering on April 15!
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. Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!
I've owned my one Eyed Mare, Chick, for 3 years now. She's my pride and joy, absolutely a sweet heart and overall a treat to keep. However, her missing eye appears to have been only half removed? There's a lot of pink tissue I judge to be muscle and some cloudy black tissue in the shape of a circle in the middle which I would guess to be the remnants of a cornea? The surgery to remove the affected eye after an accident with a branch would have been performed in 2002, is this common? I've seen one other horse like this, at a rodeo in 2015, but never got a chance to speak with the owner. Anyone else have a horse similar? Pics below, possibly NSFW if you're squeamish. It does not bother her what so ever, and it has never caused a problem. I'm just curious what I'm seeing. http://ift.tt/2nJmu8N
