You know what, Calpain? I don't care about huge. This HAS to be enbedded, so that there is no risk of someone missing its awesomeness. Thank you so much for sharing. Even if not canon, respect_for_rarity++.

Rarity, you don't have fizzy drinks out of a tea cup. Shame on you.

This reminds me I still need to seek out and watch AT. Hmmm, I think I have a plan for this weekend ^__^.

OT: Speaking of the weekend, are we still having the synchtube at it's normal Sat timeslot? I remember there being doubt about it last weekend.

I'm curious about this too. Regardless of the day it is held (if it is held) I should be able to make it.
Also I was thinking, how does TF2 after the synchtube sound? It looks like a good time to play a game or two while we have a lot of PonyGAF online.

Looks like my internet isn't going to be sorted until Monday so I need someone who is going to be around at the usual time to take over for me, preferably someone who knows how to use Synchtube so I don't have to explain anything.
I could totally get behind weekly TF2 games after Synchtube from next week onwards though.

Rarity Takes Some Time Off

Description of what is going on by the artist:
"Rarity, while not as powerful a unicorn as Twilight, possesses something far greater in skill in her ability to focus and concentrate her magic on much more nimble tasks. Using small finer points of magic, she can manipulate multiple items and tools at once while crafting her dresses, demonstrating the enormous dextrous control she has over her magic.

On a clear day, if her schedule permits it, she'll venture out at dawn to the clear plains beyond the forests outside Ponyville to practice one of her favorite stress relief hobbies. Archery is a guilty pleasure for Rarity: a thrilling activity, but not at all as barbaric a sport as some Rainbow or Applejack partake in. She considers it to be fairly similar to sewing really, only now she's using a much bigger needle and she's aiming at a small round target instead of stitches. Over the years she's become remarkable good at it, and it shows. At times she's even amazed at how simply she can "thread" arrows through one another, from great distances no less. She'll also add her own little "touch ups" to the game too, not being one to forget artistic license. In the end, she'll come back feeling just as rejuvenated as with any day at the spa center, and returns to her more or less humbler duties."

I can't see how them being humans instead of ponies automatically means there is something intrinsically wrong with the pics, as some would try to argue. I suppose others must see things in pics that I just don't understand. All I see is unique artwork that showcases interesting interpretations of X character in Y setting.

You know how when Okami came out fanart of Ammy being drawn as a generic loli gijinka with a lack of uniqueness? Yeah.

I spend far too much time on synchtube then I should, including screwing around on my own channel and being a mod in another, so I could do it without needing much, if anything, explained(not that its hard to learn or anything).

Rarity's laugh made this comic.

This bit here though...

...I would have to argue with. I don't think Rarity needs any sort of scenario in which you could argue that her magic might be in some way better than Twilight's. Ranking on a magical power level chart is not part of what makes Rarity great. That's Twilight's thing.

It's like if a Fluttershy fan tried to suggest that Fluttershy's wingspan was 2 inches longer than Rainbow Dash's. It says that they're uncomfortable with the fact that Rainbow Dash can outfly Fluttershy, when that shouldn't bother any real Fluttershy fan.

Rarity enjoys archery. Even more, she enjoys stylish archery, and picnics. That's all that's needed. No need to suggest that other Unicorns couldn't do the same thing if they wanted.

Also, Twilight picked like... a thousand apples simultaneously.

I would have to agree with this. The comic stands well on it's own without the need to try and turn it into some "All praise the great and powerful Rarity for she is so much better than Twilight" type shtick. People shouldn't feel a need to do something like that just to make a positive fan comic about a character they like.

Oh hey I think my internet is working now so I might be able to do the Synchtube this week after all. I'll still make sure that DeadPhoenix can do it just in case though.

Man you guys have no idea how awful it is to browse the internet using a mobile dongle that takes four minutes to download 1MB.

Well, I was online during the early 90s, so I have a pretty good idea what it's like to download things more slowly than that. No dongles, though. That's just going too far :p

I missed the last synchtube. Hope I can make it to this one, whoever's running it!

I am sorry, but I will have to argue with you, in this case. It is true that Rarity needs no "enhancements" to be great. But I see absolutely no harm in fans imagining her to have this particular advantage, especially when it fits nicely with what we've seen of her, and particularly when combined with this particular application. It's a small thrill to see her portrayed as being a "closet badass", and we can imagine it as being her little secret, shared with us (as inconsequential as it may be).

It's fun. I will not let this particular thing carry the way I perceive the character, canon-wise. I'm OK with this.

I just figured it was worth mentioning for those of you who have an Android phone, if you go on the marketplace, there's a really good free soundboard for all six of the mane cast. Just search for "My Little Pony Soundboard" and it should pop up.

Y'know what? That is one case where I completely agree with you. Amaterasu is not a human character at all in Okami, she's a dog. I don't remember her ever having dialogue, and most human characters see her as a regular dog all the time. Thus I completely agree that it would be weird to draw her as a human. No need to draw Shadow of the Colossus' Agro as a human either.

I'm with Myke on this one. Maybe the Rarity-Twilight comparison was unnecessary, but it's probably true that she has good fine control. I've heard a lot of people trash Rarity's abilities, but much like Sherlock Holmes, she has a lot of skill in the areas she requires, and that's all she cares about.

Absolutely right. Amaterasu never speaks, and although she is clearly rational, all her mannerisms are dog-like.

BUT...

That was because she decided to manifest herself as a wolf for that particular occasion, in order to preserve the simmetry between her quest and Shiranui's story. It is no wonder, then, that some fans saw it fit to speculate on what other manifestations of the same divinity would look like.

At least, this is probably their excuse. :p

Not to get too off topic, but I thought Shiranui was a past version of Amaterasu.
That's the impression I got from the time travel part of Okami anyway.

Also, Amaterasu is based off the real life Japanese myth human-like goddess Amaterasu.

Okamiden seems to imply that she's the daughter of a male Shiranui. As gender/family ambiguous as Okami is, Okamiden is pretty explicit. It's all very confusing.

I came over to the MLP thread because Mahvel is dead and you guys are talking about Amateratsu? lol

I saw up to episode twenty three last night and my favorite cutie mark story is Pinkie Pie's story by far. The look of pure joy and excitement was so child like that it caused my heart to melt.

I <3 Pinkie Pie so much!

OMG storybook versions of episodes of the show! This is just like that book I have of the first episode of X-Men animated (with Morph and Jubilee and such). I wonder what the voice work of the plush is like.

It's funny, I was JUST chatting with my Mom on Skype earlier. Had to link her to my Prisoner parody since she's the biggest Prisoner fan I know. And I was telling her about the craze of "ponyfying" movies via edited trailers and we noted that no one had done James Bond yet.

Great job, man!
