I think everyone should just wait until the rules are fully laid down by EL before anyone gets up in arms about it. From Amir0x's posts in that thread it sounded like they were still working on figuring everything out.

Anyways: PONIES!
I updated the Belle Imgur today:

I don't know what's happening ;_;
I'm scarred.

There was a topic that defied the laws of posting. Letters were leaking out of cracks in the internet. Posts were touching boobs. Hands were allegedly held and swell times had.

I feel safe here. The ponies will protect me. Pinkie Pie has power over this sort of thing.

If I can't swear then count me the fuck out. I will not let Google dictate what I can and cannot say. Though I'll wait for the ToS to be update to make my decision.
 
Thread needs less reality bending eye beams and more ponies.

First, some Derpy/Dinky dawwww:





Next, some comics.

I recently finished read this and thought it was pretty cool. AleximusPrime made a mini-comic series with the mane 6 interacting with Celestia after Best Night Ever:

Fluttershy: http://fav.me/d3i0q5x
Applejack : http://fav.me/d3i2vyf
Rainbow : http://fav.me/d3ilbch
Twilight : http://fav.me/d3j9m67
Pinkie : http://fav.me/d3ktc96
Rarity: http://fav.me/d3lbo44

Lastly, another of Alex's pictures I thought was nice:
Seven Deadly Sins

Kinda dumb and fan-wanky, but there's so much d'aw there that it overpowered all else. Great job.

And Luna is never coming back!

Really now?

Blog from a animator on the show:

I know its been confirmed by Lauren Faust and all but yes, Luna will be back
[...]
I've already seen the episode when Luna comes back and its pretty cool. Season 2 will introduce new characters and bring back some old familiar ones. I wish I could say more but I don't want to spoil too much.

Your incoherent rambling confuses me.

But what is readily apparent, is your obvious love of ponies.

What do you think of the format? It's probably what I'm going to work with. (Screencaps, cut/paste, tracing, drawing onto a screencap. I feel like B^U... ugh)
Great work, I like your answers. But... my question... ;_;

No-one likes applejack?
It's not that people don't like her, but she was the less developed of the mane 6 throughout the first season, and she suffered for that.

Talking about Applejack, my wife has just updated her DeviantArt page with the plushie she (and I) made to order:

Not our best work, but I still think it came out pretty nicely.

We're taking commissions for any show or OC pony. ;)

I go to bed and come back to this rabble?

You people can't do anything without me can you?

NeoGAF clearly imploded at the thought of my absence.

Edit: AND MY FUCKING FURRY THREAD IS STILL GONE.

I got my eyes on you, Lore. Watch yourself...
 
Those plushes are still better than anything official merchandise (outside of the show, obviously) , and prooooobably all reproducible bootleg merchandise (i.e. not a one-of-a-kind Silent Hill pony).

Hate to qualify a compliment like that, but the crown is still clearly yours.

I wonder if that pink Celestia thing was just a weird error. She is a very light pink, maybe they just messed up the material choice. I think the things she says are a much more grievous error.

It'll be cool to see male ponies, but they need to fix their merchandise/marketing in general. It needs to match the creative direction of the show. Sell Twilight on her love of reading and organization, not how much she loves balloon rides. Espouse Applejack's work ethic, don't pimp her sweet pick up truck. Don't make Celestia brag about her hair. Have her banish loved ones to the moon, er, I mean make her a nuanced example of a female leader (kindness, wisdom, but also lightheartedness).
I figure that all these things are results of the lack of communication between the toy division and the show production team, and that's really nothing to be surprised at, given Hasbro's reputation. The toy creators have probably been given only the most basic of reference materials, and worked from there using their usual formula of "crap for little girls", working mainly to fulfill toy stores' demands. If Toys 'r' Us tells them Celestia needs to be pinker to fit in better with the rest of the toys on the girls' aisles, you can bet they'll just ignore what she looks like in the show and make her a pink mare. The advertisement team, for their part, just follow the script they've been following for decades now, since there's really no incentive to change the tone. The brand is strong, and that is all that they need to persuade the target market.

Thank you so much for the compliment! She's now working on Rainbow Dash, and the first one is probably going to be the last one, as the hair on that one is proving to be a real pain to get right. I hope commission requests increase further once we post the result on DevArt. :)

That's is brilliant, I hope you're getting proportional feedback for the great ideas and effort you're putting into these videos.

Man, and I didn't even have the chance to be a bastard and make some generalizations, ad hominem at non-present people, and purposefully vague but inflamatory comments. How am I going to get the attention I crave and play "fursecution victim" with all my GAF buddies now?

Dude, why did you start a furry thread? They let you off easy if the thread was only deleted. I'm just glad I missed the madness.

Also the possible new rules are...not good. I'll wait and see.

At the risk of reopening a can of worms that some people would prefer to keep shut, I'd like to talk a bit about some fanfic I was reading recently.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm no writer and I don't make a habit of reading fan fiction, but after seeing it constantly updated on Equestria Daily and seeing the sheer number of comments and spin offs it resulted in, I thought I'd take a look at Fallout Equestria. It also helps that the recent Steam sales got me back into the Fallout series.
As you can guess, it's a pony version of Fallout which takes place in an alternate timeline where the world Equestria has been turned into a wasteland after a nuclear magical war. The actual fanfic seems heavily inspired by Fallout 3 (Someone leaves the vault stable and the main character leaves to find them) but that's only the framing for the story and it goes into original territory once the character gets into the wasteland. The comments also say parts of it are inspired by Fallout 2 but I haven't played that one yet.
Instead of being a repeat of the game storylines with the characters all replaced by pony versions of themselves, the characters are original and pretty well realised and the story is engaging and filled with enough twists and turns to keep me reading chapter after chapter. When I first got hooked by it I wasn't sure whether to marathon all the chapters or pace myself so I wasn't left waiting ages for the next one, just like when I first started watching Friendship is Magic.

Now obviously since this is based on Fallout there are some gruesome parts like raiders getting their heads blown off and implications of what slavers do to their slaves, but it doesn't seem like anything that you wouldn't see in the game. For the most part all the characters are original, but from what I've read so far there are a fair few references to characters from the show but only one of them has actually showed up so far (The characters from the show are pre-war and this takes place hundreds of years later) and it's kinda sad what happened to her, so that might be worth keeping in mind if you don't want to read of anything bad happening to actual characters.

I've only read up to chapter 6 so far (There are 31 right now so be prepared for the long haul if you want to read this) so everything I've mentioned could change after that point but it seems solid so far and since I've never really been hooked on anything like this before I thought I'd post about it here in case there is anyone else who might be interested in it. Personally I think a good piece of writing is on the same level as a good picture, but if you hate fanfic then feel free to completely ignore this post.

And just so this post isn't just a long string of words, here's a commission of the three main characters that careksims did a while ago:

You are your wife are really talented! I would totally commission one if I could afford it.

I've been watching this one get longer and longer on ED, but I wasn't overly interested in it because I've never played any Fallout game. As far as the "can of worms" comment, I've not read a lot of fan fiction across my interests because its quality is often so spotty and it requires a time investment to figure out whether it's worth reading further, whereas good or crappy artwork can be determined in seconds. I've found MLP:FIM's fan fiction selection, however, has been absolutely stellar in comparison. This fandom is bringing the best out of the creatives, and almost everything I've read so far has been quite enjoyable (Having ED filter a lot of stuff with its star ratings also helps).

I'm following about a dozen different incomplete stories right now and I've enjoyed quite a few complete ones. My favorite is still the one I posted about in the previous thread, The Pony Psychology Series, but there have been so many other newer ones out there that are totally worth spending some late nights (and early mornings) reading.

I'm not a big fan of reading about OC ponies (I'd rather explore alternate takes on the characters I already know and love), but I'll definitely give your suggestion a try now, Aero. :)

But ponies are wholesome and abide by all of Google's rules, also there is a lot of pony merchandise that Google ads can put in their banners.
If anything, the forum should be nothing but ponies.

Make it just ponies and SNSD and then we have something I can get behind.

After epi 4, Applejack stands as my second favourite character. I don't want her to get neglected!

Love that plushy. You're selling it?? How could you!

What a great idea! I want to do this too. I like how the colours (and cutie marks) are more accurate than the official toys... it's weird how even different packs of the official toys aren't consistent.
