Her wings faded and vanished from lack of use. Combined with her lack of a Cutie Mark, the Alternate Future CMC eventually decided that the best thing for Alternate Future Scootaloo would be for her to go back in time and worship Best Pony more diligently.Captain Fish said:
Scientific proof that not only is time travel possible (as if Dr Whoof wasn't enough proof), but that an Earth Pony can aspire to become a Pegasus/Unicorn, and a Pegasus/Unicorn can aspire to become a Princess.

Owl senses aren't tingling so that can't be Scootaloo

Equestria Daily just posted fan translations of some official German comics. These things are terrifying. From what I understand, these comics are implying that outside of Equestria, there are only earth ponies. Since I know some Ponygaffers live in Germany, have you seen these before?
The horror, the horror!

The second comic had some great potential for some Blank Flank-style creepiness or some awful rule 34 stuff and did not capitalize on either.

You go out and make something cool that doesn't treat its audience like fuckwads, and then it's spun off into other mediums and made to represent everything you were fighting against.

If you're interested, there's another set of these comics that was posted 2 months ago. The low quality of these just baffles me. It's not like they were just lazy and tossed together a story in a couple of minutes; this had to be intentional. They're purposely talking down to their audience, which is quite sad.

These comics are dope. I don't know if it's the simple writing or the translation, but I'm laughing a lot (at them not with them). The first panel of this one got me pretty good. Then there's the strange apple cookies comic, which has a hilarious premise. My favorite part is probably Spike eating the muffin between frames because he never opens his mouth. It reminds me of that one Dr. McNinja joke.

You still have to keep in mind that this is MY LITTLE PONY.
This franchise has a hell of a history of vapidness and terribleness that can't be ignored. Hasbro still hasn't gotten around to really coming out with some quality pieces of merchandise, and there's still going to be the whiffs of their old thinking in how this show can/should only appeal to little girls.

That's true. Despite Studio B's fantastic handling of the brand, it hasn't changed much in the eyes of Hasbro.ZealousD said:

Sad, but true. While FiM is pretty much solely responsible for the current revival of the franchise, Hasbro only views it as one part of it and is reluctant take the same risks with comics, toys and oher products. Maybe this will change eventually if FiM continues to go strong for several seasons, but it's still a bit of a long shot.

I just hope when Hasbro wants to make "G5" ponies, the studio and crew that make the accompanying series can take what made FIM so good and enjoyable and still make a worthwhile show. I'd totally give it a fair shot.

If there's a G5, I hope they still give them streamlined looks, because frankly, pre-FiM ponies look awfully creepy. It really baffles me how children find them cute.

Dear Princess Celestia,
This week I learned that acting too much, and going too far, on your eagerness to find and hold on to new friends, can be just as sad and pitiful as having no friends at all; And that it is all too easy to let your fears of inadequacy send you down a road of underhanded, calculating and shameful behavior, as you use every trick in your book to get people to respect you, admire you and like you for something that you are not.
If you dive too deep into this abyss, don't be surprised if, when you finally tell the truth to your "friends" and apologize for your trickery, they refuse to take you back, having lost their trust in you and thinking that, once again, you're just trying to manipulate them into feeling pity for you.
One must, however, try to make amends and hope for the best.
Your faithful student,
Myke Greywolf

Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learnt that driving tests are hard. Like, really hard. Like, you screw up one time, one friggin time, and you fail hard. I mean, I guess it's only fair, you are controlling a huge hunk of metal hurtling around other hunks of metal at speeds of upwards of 50 kilometers an hour. I guess they have a right to be strict about driving regulations and the types of people who can drive unsupervised. But that doesn't make it any cooler.

PS Actually that was yesterday. Today I went to Konami and played El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron a month before everybody else.

I took my test in a fairly rural area, so there was nothing at all demanding. Go onto a road, turn a couple of times, park. That's about it. Though I am the only person in my generation of the family to pass it in one go.

I passed a flying test last week, and then got to fly an airplane solo, I laugh at driving tests
Good luck on your test.

Yeah, I failed the written part the first time around because I forgot what a yield sign looked like, despite there being one on my blockNishastra said:
Yeah, mine were a bunch of apparently piddly shit like not checking my blind spot when going into a turn lane and "hey you should watch your speed" and "we're on a highway, you can go faster than 40" and the most hilarious parallel parking attempt ever.ahoyhoy said:Depends largely on the mistake in some areas. For Maryland, stopping the car on top of or beyond the stop sign line is an insta-fail.
I know... because it happened to me

I only have two and a half hours of flight experience, and still think I'm ready to fly solo
