Not really big on fanfic writing, but when I'm in the mood I'll jot something down from time to time. I'd much rather frequent sites like YouTube, DeviantArt, and Facebook

I've just been listening to 101Fact's video about 101 facts about the Deep Web, and as he started talking about the Red Room and how it is used to torture people...
...my own personal torturer, Nevercake, shows up to interrupt the video with one of his bloody accursed League of Legend adverts.
I am sorely convinced this man needs to die in the most brutal and most painful way possible.

Can you all please post images of either werewolves and/or people diving out of or through windows? I have work in the morning and I'd appreciate if someone could track down some images for me. Anime ones would be nice if possible, or any artwork you can find.

Oh yeah, I forgot. *hugs tight*
I loved that there was a changeling in this episode, but I hated how he was implemented. It just shows the writers didn't even bother to try. They just slapped a changeling in there with no explanation behind it being there and called it a day.
3150171 You act as though anything in that episode was supposed to make sense.
3150185 Please, tell me where you made that connection.
And I'm still not looking at you, Mark.
3150171 There was sort of a reason. The episode was a wedding, and where else did Changelings appear on the show?
At the Canterlot Wedding.
The Changeling was pretty much a reference to that episode, as well as because, well, as far as I know this entire episode is inspired or based loosely on fanfiction. That, and I reckon the Changeling wanted to get a snack or something?
I mean, it wasn't there as a joke thing, since if you watch that scene again you'll notice the foals cowering from it, so for the most part the ponies were aware of it being there.
I also have heard that the Changeling's presence is actually a possible hint to a future return of the Changelings, so that's another explanation for it being there, dude.
But never mind the bug. The real question is when does Unique make a cameo appearance and finally get around to eating that donut he bought earlier? WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE FOR THAT EPIC MOMENT, HUH?
3150209 Well let me put it this way: I'm more surprised that you are noting the random appearance of a changeling that the writers seemed to shoehorn into the episode with no explanation whatsoever, rather than, let's say, noting the random appearance of five human individuals wearing different variations of horse masks that the writers seemed to shoehorn into the episode with no explanation whatsoever.
But who knows? Maybe that Changeling may get some character development in the future. Wouldn't be the first time a unique character on the show, who for a while rarely appeared and had no dialogue, to get some actual screen time devoted to character development.
Also, shut up, nurse.

Um, I've just found a synopsis of the episode 12 of Season 5, everyone, and...I'm kind of afraid of it for one good reason.
Apparently, Pinkie Pie is going to throw a friendship party for some visiting yaks, but it goes terribly wrong and she has to travel across Equestria to get her party mojo back. So, while this could potentially hint at Cheese Sandwich coming back, it does worry me as to whether Pinkamena will be returning. Because, and I really don't know why, Pinkamena sort of scares me. Not like OH GOD THERE'S A MONSTER ABOUT TO KILL ME! scary, more like OH GOD MY BEST FRIEND JUST POPPED OUT FROM ROUND THE CORNER AND SPOOKED ME BEFORE I SLAMMED MY FIST IN HIS SMUG FACE scary. Also that fucked-up 'Cupcakes' fanfic might have something to do with it as well.
There's also a synopsis here I've got up for episode 11, but it's not as interesting. Apparently Spike becomes a princess for a day or so and lets the power go to his head. Great. Can't wait to see how he screws this up. XD
3150222 Wait, is that a joke, or were there really humans in horse masks that I missed?
3150222 Knowing the show, the changeling will probably either never show up again unless the fandom riots or is a secret undercover agent of random bullshit that's serves no real point aside from marking the return of the changeling, which the changeling in the wedding wouldn't have had any significance towards since he's just a solitary changeling put in there for no reason.
And they reference human people in the show all the time, even if they make an appearance as ponies. Those five dudes were nothing special.
Also, I'm just asking for directions to the blacksmith.
3150213 See above.
3150246 Thanks, now I know not to watch that episode—if it centers around Pimie Pie, it's automatically bad.
3150298 Do you just dislike Pinkie Pie as a character? Because I can think of quite a few episodes that focus on her that are great.
Ayyy lmao
3150329 She's annoying. She's unhelpful. Despite being a bearer of an Element of Harmony, she's chaos waiting to happen. She never takes anything seriously and treats the world like it's happy-happy fun time 24/7.
Don't get me wrong—I myself am very optimistic and hyperactive most of the time. But I don't jump around all day being a total nuisance and not giving a shit about the outside world and whether or not people appreciate what I'm doing.
So yeah, her character, but then again there's nothing about her that I like, aside from Pinkamena.
S8E00
3150367 I actually find her immense optimism and cheer to be somewhat charming. And I actually find that she is quite funny most of the time.
However, I can actually point out several times in the series where she WASN'T overly cheerful, especially in two of my favorite episodes of the series, "Pinkie Pride" and "Party of One".
Pinkie Pride: Just listen to how sad she is at the beginning of "Pinkie's Lament" and at the end of the Goof Off.
Party of One: She actually becomes less cheerful as the episode goes on.
3150437 In both of those episodes, Pinkie was doing what's called "being OOC." Besides, that was like, what? Ten, maybe fifteen minutes of the hours of screen time she's had and will continue to have?
3150367 Valid points, to some extent. She is vital to the Mane 6 though, but no-one will force you to like her. We all have preferences.
3150447 That's the worst part: She's still a vital character for the sole reason that she bears an Element of Harmony. Literally all you'd have to do was take that away, and she'd be nothing more than a detriment. A burden.
3150440 She was not OOC in either of those moments.
How about: Lesson Zero, where in the scene at the library she nuzzled Twilight with a frown on her face, or in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, where she was actually crying when the competition ended, or practically all of Baby Cakes, or even A Dog and Pony Show: When the other members of the mane 5 besides Rarity were losing to the Diamond Dogs in the first match up, she wasn't having fun then. And there are still several other moments that even I, someone who's seen every episode multiple times by now, can't remember off the top of my head.
Besides, there's still one other key factor: Even if you dislike a character, you can't just say that EVERY episode focusing on them is bad just due to the fact that it DOES focus on them. Otherwise I:
a. Wouldn't be hoping for some episodes that focus on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, since I HATE everything about Diamond Tiara and I heavily dislike Silver Spoon.
b. Would say that every episode that focuses on Rarity (who is my least favorite member of the mane 6, and is arguably one of my 20 least favorite characters on the show). And most of the episodes that focus on Rarity, including the ones where she's paired up with someone else, are pretty good, even if they're not my favorites.
3150502 So because of this measly number of times she was serious, it's therefore a part of her character to be serious.
No.
Pinkie is supposed to be hyper. Che's supposed to be crazy. She's supposed to not give a shit. That is her character. Anything else is not in her character, therefore, unless she was given a good reason to act this way—which she never is—she's being OOC.
Also, yes I can. Pinkie is a detriment to the show. She serves no point aside from bearing an Element and unfunny comic relief and does nothing more than make everything the way she wants it to—filled with parties and obnoxious bullshit.
Oh, that and every single episode I've watched centering around Pinkie sucked the saltiest balls.
3150518 I never said she was supposed to be a serious character. I just said that there are several times in the show where she's actually had a good reason to be serious, and when those times arise, she is.
In fact, her character is NOT supposed to be completely crazy, or not care about anything all of the time. She even states that herself in the "Smile song" that her goal is to make others happy. THAT is her character. She does what she does to make others happy, and if she can't make them happy, then that makes her sad.
Besides, just because a character doesn't fit a limited description of who they're "supposed" to be 100% of the time doesn't mean they're OOC in those moments. Take Rainbow, for example. In Tanks for the Memories, her more emotional side is on full display throughout the entire episode. And not once does she act arrogant, or obsess over the Wonderbolts, or try to impress anyone. By your logic, Rainbow is 100% OOC in that episode, when she really isn't.
And, if you don't find Pinkie funny, that's fine. I understand that. I personally find her antics hilarious most of the time, but people can have different senses of humor.
But you can't state that her only purposes on the show are to be comic relief or to be an Element of Harmony, because that's simply not true.
And, I do agree that Baby Cakes and A Friend in Deed are two of the show's weaker episodes, and Griffon the Brush Off is my least favorite episode of the series.
But you're telling me that you disliked:
Party of One: Arguably one of the funniest episodes of the show, and one of the mental breakdown episodes.
Pinkie Pride: Definitely the funniest episode of the show, and has Weird Al guest star.
Too Many Pinkie Pies: Where the conflict of the episode is caused specifically because Pinkie Pie can't spend time with all of her friends at the same time.
3150580
You clearly ignored part where I said they weren't OOC if given a good reason to act that way.
Rainbow was given a good reason because she was deeply attached to Tank and very unused to losing those she cared about. It hit her hard, and that's why she acted the way she did. It was justified. With Pinkie, it's one of two things: Either something bad happens that she brushes off, or she takes a minor inconvenience involving her and becomes incredibly dramatic. Her friends didn't come to her party? According to Pinkie, they don't like her anymore. And apparently, someone being better than you at something you're known for is reason to be the most downtrodden, emo sulker in the entire universe.
Considering she never does anything else 99.99% of the time, I'd say yeah, it's pretty true.
Yes, I disliked all of those. I watched all of them, and I can soundly say those episodes would've been much better if Pinkie was removed from them—unfortunately, since she's the center of attention in these episodes, that just can't happen.
What, suddenly I'm not allowed to have an opinion anymore? I disliked all of those episodes. Fucking deal with it.
3150621
3150580
3150447 Why don't we all just calm the fuck down.
3150629 Coming from the person who takes the time out of his day to insult TLT even when the subject on hand is totally different.
3150636 Fair point.
3150658
3150621 Well, that's exactly the point with Pinkie, and arguably Equestria as a whole.
With any pony, not just Pinkie, you can't expect them to react to things the same way we would.
And here's what Pinkie's logic is during Party of One: She could clearly tell that all of them made up reasons not to come to her party. Since she couldn't think of any other reason for them not to want to go to her party, the most likely reasoning to her would have been that they don't like her anymore. Of course, that's a ridiculous assumption, but in Equestria, most things that would be ridiculous to us aren't ridiculous to them
As for her becoming depressed in Pinkie Pride: That wasn't just because Cheese Sandwich was apparently better than her. It was the fact that EVERYONE, including her friends, were so enamored by him that all of them seemingly abandoned her for him. Except for Twilight, but even SHE only talked to her in person for a small amount of time.
Oh, and another thing: In Magical Mystery Cure, it was EXPLICITLY SHOWN that everypony in Ponyville would be miserable without Pinkie there to cheer them up. So, once again, her only two purposes being comic relief and bearing one of the Elements of Harmony has once again been proven false.
And, while I disagree with you that the show would be better without Pinkie Pie (in fact, I actually feel the show would lose something without her), I'm also just shocked by the fact that you are, literally, the ONLY person I've come across who actually dislikes Pinkie Pride.
But that's not my issue with you disliking it. My issue is you disliking it for Pinkie Pie ALONE. But we've already discussed that.
3150691
Actually, the only pony that doesn't think such an assumption is ridiculous is Pinkie herself. She was being overdramatic and did not need to act like that.
Once again, she was being ridiculous and melodramatic, and the only pony that would've thought otherwise would be Pinkie herself.
The show writers must've been on crack for that one, because that's basically saying that Pinkie Pie is the only good thing in the lives of every single Ponyville citizen, when we've seen on numerous occasions that is entirely false. It didn't make any sense and was just short of being a plot hole.
3150729 In the first case, I agree with you that Pinkie would probably be the only one to come to that conclusion and not find it ridiculous, but that's exactly my point. Pinkie IS a ridiculous pony, and given that situation, it was perfectly in character for her to come to that conclusion and believe it.
However, in the second case, I have to disagree with you there. If I was good at something, and someone else came along and was so much better at it than me that everyone would start going to them instead of me, I'd probably get depressed and feel abandoned as well, and so would a lot of people.
As for your response to that, I have this to say: Yes, Pinkie Pie is probably not responsible for EVERY good thing in their lives. But, she was probably responsible for most of it. Plus, she was probably always there to cheer all of them up whenever they got depressed. The fact that she knows everypony in Ponyville certainly hints at that. Without her around to help get them through some of the rougher times in their life, they'd all probably get depressed before long. The fact that they all cheered up instantly the moment Pinkie said that she wants to see them smile certainly helps to prove that fact.
Huh, a changeling that wasn't a monster. Nice taggs. He must be really nice.
3150803
I wouldn't. Even if Pinkie's friends thought Cheese was more fun than she was, they wouldn't just leave her for Cheese. If they did, then they wouldn't be real friends, and Pinkie knows that. She also know that they are her real friends.
If Pinkie is responsible for most of the ponies' happiness, then they must lead the most bland and grey lives in existence.
What if the pony wanted to be left alone? Pinkie might as well not know what leaving someone in peace means. I don't think they'd find her helpful there. Not only that, but most of the time, throwing a party wouldn't cheer someone up if they were down. Something more along the lines of giving them a hug and saying something comforting would be helpful, but Pinkie's definition of hugging is crushing someone's ribs and her definition of comforting words is "Put a smile on your face!"
Quite frankly, that just hints at her being a total creep. And since she's always snooping around and doesn't seem to know the definition of privacy, I'd say that isn't a very far-fetched idea.
She wouldn't help most of the people who are going through "rough times." She'd just irk them, because the majority of anyone, show or reality, who are depressed will want to be left alone or be comforted, neither of which Pinkie knows how to do.
It just seems to me that the writers didn't know what they were doing.
3150894 I guess we just see Pinkie's situation there differently.
I actually feel the opposite. I feel that the fact that most of their happiness comes from Pinkie Pie shows just how fun life in Ponyville truly is, since Pinkie's the most fun loving pony who permanently lives in Ponyville.
If all they need is a hug and something comforting, and Pinkie is aware of it, then that's probably all she'd give them. Everything she does is done with the intent of cheering ponies up. Whether it succeeds or not varies depending on the situation.
If it was portrayed in the show as creepy, then I'd agree. But, I don't see it as her being a creep, since, again, she states that she loves to make her friends smile. She uses the knowledge she has to try to HELP ponies, not hurt them.
She'd be determined to help them in any way she could. And if she sincerely felt that what they needed was to be left alone, and it wasn't her fault, she'd probably do so. And again, if all they'd need is some comfort, then Pinkie would be more than happy to do so.
3150914
If life in Ponyville was so FAHN then they wouldn't need Pinkie to cheer them up.
Pinkie is too hyper and crazy to actually sit down and talk it out with someone. Seven seen that like a million times in the show.
I get that. But the fact the she knows the name of EVERYPONY IN PONYVILLE is just a liiiiiitle bit creepy, don't you think? The town has to have a population of at least a couple thousand. If Pinkie knows everypony's name, that just screams "stalker."
When has she ever calmed down and been gentle in the show, ever?
If you wanted Pinkie to leave you alone, you'd probably have to scream at her and insult her and tell her you hate her and her parties and pretty much reduce her to tears to get her away from you. And truth be told, I wouldn't be above doing that. Hell, I wouldn't be above using violence to get that irritant out of my space. God knows she needs it. It'll help her learn that the world isn't happy go lucky and she should just shut up for once.
3150958
Honestly...no, not really, at least not for me. And besides, even if it's creepy to us, the citizens of Ponyville don't find it creepy, so it doesn't bother me.
As for everything you've said about Pinkie being too hyper and crazy to actually sit down and talk to someone, I have this to say:
At the end of A Friend in Deed, Pinkie realizes just how to cheer Cranky up, and that's by reuniting him with Matilda. And if it didn't work, she was willing to leave him alone for the rest of either of their lives.
That proves that she's determined to find some way to cheer anyone up. And she usually has a way of finding it out. So... no, I don't believe it's too much of a stretch to think that she'd be willing to sit down and just calmly talk to somepony who needs help. All they need to do is ask her for it, and she'd probably listen.
And if a pony would ask her to leave them alone, as long as they explain that its for a good reason (and I think that would be likely to happen in Equestria), she'd probably trust them and do so.
For proof of both of those, I point you to "Too Many Pinkie Pies", where Rainbow told Pinkie that she just wanted to nap, and Pinkie promised that she'd have her fun quietly, and she manages to do so.
As for what you say here:
That probably wouldn't help matters. In fact, that would probably make her curious as to why you'd attack her. And if you'd tell her that it's because she's so happy go-lucky most of the time, that'd probably confuse her. Which would just make things worse.
3150983
You're treating it like Pinkie doing one or two snippets of something is real evidence.
Her primary solution to everything is partying, and takes a metaphorical—and maybe even literal—slap in the face to make her realize she needs to do something else. Then she'll finally do it.
And do you honestly think what Pinkie did in TMPP qualifies? She's still being totally hyperactive, chaotic and pesky—she's just doing it quietly. That's not being calm. And besides, it's not like that even cheered Rainbow up—all it did was get her confused when Pinkie broke physics.
Now I'm curious: How many times do you think I'd have to shoot Pinkie in the leg with a 9-millimeter before she realizes it might be a good idea to limp away?
3151022
1. Well, it counts, since it actually occurred in the show. Besides, those small moments still add to her character.
2. Unless you just ask her nicely. Remember, there have actually been a few cases where asking her to do stuff nicely worked perfectly fine for the situation at hand.
3. And I know she didn't do it to cheer Rainbow up. My point was that Rainbow nicely asked her to be quiet, and she did.
Honestly, I don't think bullets would affect her at all. Given the way ponies in general seem to react to getting hurt, they probably have extra dense skin or something. And given the fact that it's Pinkie Pie you'd try to fire at, stuff would probably happen to make sure your bullets wouldn't hit her anyway. And given how her hair can shift properties from Jell-O like to dense enough to be used as a drill, even if you managed to get your shot to hit her general vicinity, the bullet would probably go right through her mane/tail, or just fall to the ground in a crumple.
But I'd gladly test what effects bullets would have on Diamond Tiara's body.
3151049 1. So, you're saying because it happened in the show, it's therefore solid evidence despite being a split-second happening? No. It didn't add to her character one bit.
2. Even if that were a thing—which it isn't, we've it work with 100% success only once—just asking her wouldn't do shit, because she'd be too busy being Pinkie to hear you. And even then, she's not going to be calm. She not going to sit down and talk. She's not going to give you a hug. She's just going to take whatever she's doing and do it more quietly.
3. But was she being calm? No, she wasn't.
Well then, I'll just have to destroy her emotionally. It'll be easy. All I have to do is tell her I hate her parties and she's doesn't make me smile—which is the truth. She'll run away in tears eventually.
3151059
1. No. What I'm saying is that just because something only happens once or twice in the show doesn't mean that it can't happen again.
2. And once you get her to quiet down, you can then talk to her calmly. Besides, there haven't been that many situations in the show where someone has actually TRIED that, at least not when the problem is directly between Pinkie and themselves.
That wouldn't work either. She'd be more likely to try to find out WHY you don't like her parties and WHY she doesn't make you smile. And telling her that it's just because she's, you know... Pinkie, would just confuse her, causing her to ask you more questions
3151088 1. That doesn't make it in-character for Pinoie to do.
2. On a scale of one to impossible, getting Pinkie to quiet down ranks a Just Give Up.
3. I think this fic executes how something like turning down Pinkie would go down really well.
3151120 1. I think it does.
2. Again, not if you ask nicely.
3. While the situations are similar, I still feel like if someone just tells her calmly and directly that her leaving them alone would make them happy, then she'd do so. It's when she doesn't know what it would take to cheer someone up that she'd pester them and possibly make the situation worse.
I think we might as well stop talking about Pinkie now, since neither of us have changed our minds about her, and continuing to talk about her would probably just lead us going into circles.
I would ask you what it would take for Pinkie to become likable for you, but I doubt there'd be anything they could do, since just writing her out of the show isn't an option.
But now I want to know
How do you feel about Diamond Tiara? She's the only character on the show that I hate (I merely dislike Silver Spoon).
However, if it's revealed that an upcoming episode would focus on her and not the CMC, I'd still be interested in seeing it and I wouldn't just say it's terrible just because it focuses on her before the episode even comes out... In fact, I'm kind of hoping that happens.
3151139 You wanna stop talking about Pinkie? Fine.
Diamond Tiara? I don't give a damn about her. I like Silver Spoon, but to me Diamond Tiara is just there. It doesn't even really anger me when DT atagonizes the CMC all that much because I don't even know.
Of there was an episode about her, I probabaly wouldn't watch it because A) It'll be uninteresting, and B) It'll just give me canon for shit I'm never going to write about.
3151145 You're the only person I've talked to who just doesn't care about Diamond at all.
But I actually feel that an episode about her would be very interesting. It could reveal unknown details about her that actually make her a character and not, you know, a(n almost) one note bully.
3151153 I wouldn't care if she had some crazy messed up past or was emotionally scarred or anything because to me Diamond Tiara is just uninteresting.
3151157 Is it because she's been portrayed as just a bully so far?
There are many words I'd use to describe Diamond Tiara (one rhymes with pitch, one rhymes with punt, one rhymes with bird, one rhymes with swat), but uninteresting is not one of them.
3151160 Yeah. She just seems like a brat that's not worth any of my time or attention.
Maybe if she weren't spoiled to the point that she could get her father to call in a S.W.A.T. Team on anyone who insults her, I'd care about her. But nope, she's just a typical spoiled little bully. Yawn.
3151168 I don't really like bully characters either.
But there's something about her that just rubs me the wrong way, even worse than typical bullies.
But here's a scenario for you:
A trio of episodes that detail Diamond's "redemption" into a good pony:
The first episode is Silver Spoon ending her friendship with Diamond, befriending the CMC, and then rejecting Diamond's first attempts to get her back.
The second episode would basically start off with a conversation between Diamond and Discord with her whining that she's better than them, which leads into a subversion of the "It's a Wonderful Life" plot, and then ending with her declaring that she'll change her ways.
The third episode would be her becoming a better pony, befriending the CMC, and reconnecting with Silver Spoon.
Would you watch those episodes?
3151183 No, for two reasons:
1. Diamond Tiara and anything about her is uninteresting.
2. It has Discord in it. I can't stand Discord. Pinkie may be my least favorite character, but Dissy is an incredibly close second.
3151191
1. So, even if they try to add more to her than just her being a bully, you'd still say she's uninteresting, just because she started out as just a bully?
2. You're the first person I've ever talked to who actually dislikes Discord.
