i think the breaking bad cameo is probably my favorite, just for his cutie mark alone. the idea that a pony, as a child, _canonically_ realized his special talent was cooking meth. it brings me such joy knowing meth canonically exists within the realm of friendship is magic and, by extension, make your mark.

He goes through his entire life without a cutie mark. He works at a major startup -- no cutie mark. He spends decades teaching high school chemistry, never finding his calling in life. Then one day, he comes home, & his wife says "wait, you have a cutie mark now? what's it supposed to be, like, a bunch of blue rocks or something?" "uhhhh, I can explain--"

This made me laugh! And your phrasing is intense, I like it. As a kid, when adults asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, eventually I learned they just wanted me to answer some kind of boring job/career 🙄 The boring answer I'd give instead of my _real_ answer would relate to it, for my own fun. Like: Horse veterinarian (pegasus!), dog trainer (a cute doggo!), archeologist (all the ancient Greece things!), and of course anything I could relate to _dinosaurs!_ 😁🦖🦕

As an autistic 14 year old with a lazy eye and speech impediment when Derpy hooves got censored, seeing adults calling things that I had “offensive” was crushing - I know it seems dumb to get upset about now, but I was a bullied, poor, undiagnosed (at the time) autistic, self conscious, clumsy and emotionally unstable teenager who relied heavily on escapism, which I could only ever get from watching mlp and spongebob clips on RU-vid and watching grown ass adults say things like “they made her into a r***rd” and “they’ve ruined that character for my kids, nobody talks like that except r***rds” (those are the comments I remember) over things I related to personally just killed my self esteem

@abbycantrell1369 6 месяцев назад

Exactly! Her first appearence was her making mistakes and getting scolded several times. They made her come off as being incompetent and that can be incredibly harmful, especially since she was the first canonically disabled character in the series. It would've been so much better if she had helped with preparations and made a more minor mistake than almost seriously injuring a member of the main cast. That way, she could've been introduced as a helpful and endearingly clumsy character that people probably would've responded much more positively to.

@dollarstorevodka 3 месяца назад

It sucks because you never see strabismus depicted in media unless it's an offensive stereotype like Derpy. It could've been used as an opportunity to be positive representation, for once. I think completely getting rid of her was the wrong move too, because like I said you never see representation of certain impairments.

@Garden0flowr 2 месяца назад

Naming her Derpy was a bad move, since it has nothing to do with her cutie mark or skill, but they couldve just brought her back as Bubbles or Muffins Maybe she couldve shown up later doing pegasus work successfully, with her improvement coming from higher confidence and practice with help of her own friends She can be disabled and still exist

@MooMoo_Ho 7 месяцев назад

For the Nurse Red Heart thing, it's actually wrong because the Geneva Convention only says you're not allowed to have the Red Cross on a military tank and use it to attack the enemy. A tank with a cross is supposed to tell the other side that the tank will not fire on them and only help the injured. What most likely happened, and what you probably meant, was that the company that owns the symbol of the Red Cross, Johnson & Johnson, will not allow it to be used for profit by organizations that aren't in the medical field, which is why Hasbro most likely changed it to avoid a lawsuit with Johnson & Johnson. I hope this was helpful 😅

@kailomonkey 4 месяца назад

That's what I thought. I see this come up in videogame issues all the time. I wish a precedent would be established to put a stop to the lawsuits because a red plus sign to show that something is a hospital or someone is a nurse has nothing to do with The Red Cross.

The artist (I forgot his name) who made the Lyra plushie made it with leftover fabric from my commission. At least I think that's what happened because I spent weeks searching for mint coloured fleece fabric and ended up ordering it in the US and have it shipped to his place in the UK. The shipping cost from the US to UK was horrendous so I don't think he bought another batch. Suffice to say there was enough fabric left to add additional features to the plushie. Being a /b/ronie at the time I thought it was hilarious when I saw his creation. I take pride in my little contribution into internet culture, albeit it was an indirect one.

Borderlands 2 for example, in the credits has a shout out to "My Darling Fluttershy" and if that's not enough, almost the entirety of Gaige's skill tree is pony references alongside Butt Stallion's design clearly being based off Rarity. It was almost surreal how Ponies managed to slip into pretty much anything tech related and also managed to work into many other aspects of culture.

Also.... One thing the brony fandom constantly forgot is that they were not the main demographic. Hasbro made a new MLP show with the express interest in toy sales. Their market was girls between 4-8. Disney Princess demographic. Like Spiderman for boys of the same age. After all, Hasbro is a toy company first and foremost. What are traditionally girl's toys? Babies. Princesses. Weddings. Fashion Dolls. They are key components in the market for any successful toy line for the demographic. So OF COURSE they added Cadence and Flurry Heart. And princess Twilight? A power fantasy for young girls. You say the awkward, bookish girl can become a beautiful princess? Oh, the girls will EAT THAT UP as empowerment. After all, the Disney Princess franchise is almost literally that in its entirety. In conclusion, Hasbro made all the right moves right when they needed to in order to push their products, and we are LUCKY there was enough passion to continue the writing, music, and overall quality of the show as well after Faust left.

@babycakelings 4 месяца назад

I think your missing why people were upset at Derpy. Which I actually was too until very recently. They weren't upset that her having a disability was bad, the concern was by parents of disabled children that her first introduction included her messing everything up and being told off. Which yeah, honestly as a disabled person who was upset when they fixed her as a child, I actually agree that that was not an ok way to instantly portray her. However the solution to that being to just remove her disabled traits entirely also wasn't a good solution either. It was really as simple as writing her into one more episode where she's instead something positive, and yet they somehow decided not to do that.

What's weird about the Alicorn thing is that it suggests Ponies have a biological cycle similar to bees, where most of them will grow old and die as juveniles and only a few will receive the necessary conditioning to actually reach adulthood. Like, Twilight KEEPS GROWING, the other ponies are clearly just little baby horses. I guess what I'm saying is you probably become an Alicorn when another Alicorn vomits royal jelly into your mandibles.

King ants die after mating. Young queens lose their wings after mating and dig down to make a nest and can only give birth to workers only. Old Queen ants give birth to either workers or royals but not both depending on season. Termites: basically like ants but queens become gigantic egg laying machine to the point they cant move and all her needs have to be done by her workers.

I remember some of the pre-teen kids at camp, especially the girls, would tell me how those movies released right around the time they were starting to feel too old for my little pony but didn't want to grow up just yet and how much they related with the high school drama/slice of life themes and how those films actually helped them make their transition from middle school/high school a lot easier. While it was clearly a marketing tactic to sell more merchandise for the show, I'm glad those girls got to have something from their childhoods continue to resonate with them as they grew older. Plus the songs were catchy as hell, I still have one or two stuck in my head from just that one year of working at that camp because they always requested Equestria Girls for movie night🤣

I enjoyed the first two high school movies, especially the second with it’s rock music, but none after that. At that point I was in my second half of middle school, so you could argue that I was just getting too old for the series, however, many in my life believed I was too old for it to start. I just think the writing went in a different direction that certainly didn’t agree with me, but I’m glad some other young girls appreciated the changes made.

I always thought Twilight and her friends would spend the rest of their lives together spreading the word of friendship and solving problems with the cutie mark map thingy. I was kinda in tears when i saw Twilight was young but her friends were showing signs of aging. I really wished they could be together. I feel like Twilight and her friends should've been spirits or something where they're all immortal together. What's a princess of friendship without their friends?

I'm not big into MLP, but from what I understood the main character worked and studied hard, and she even put her life on the line multiple times in order to keep her friends safe, thus earning to be an alicorn.

The guy who did Double Rainboom is, in fact, a professor of 2D animation at SCAD now. I'm a senior in SCAD's 3D animation program currently directing a capstone film (fancy wording for "senior film") and they've employed a LOT more restrictions and rules since Double Rainboom came out. You definitely cannot have any pre-existing characters, film must be 3 minutes long or under, all assets, sound, and music must be original, etc. They've also banned outside animation help this year, which was a controversial decision among students lol. Some of you have probably seen/heard about Legend of Pipi, which was a (very wonderful) SCAD film from last year. That film had literal industry professionals working on it alongside students (I believe some Helluva Boss animators did some animation for it?). That film came out great, but a lot of other films depending on outside help struggled when said outside help flaked on deadlines and sometimes completely dropped out of the project altogether. Now everything is 100% student run (with guidance by professors of course) and student made! Hope this answers some questions! :))

@star-nomad Год назад

recent scad graduate here! while pipi came out really good, it kind of left others in the dust who didn't have access to anyone in the industry. we had a team of about twenty people, only three of us being full-time animators. we struggled to get a film out that the school wouldn't even give the time of day anyway because they couldn't believe we could do it. it was really disheartening to the team because it felt like our hard work was being drastically overshadowed by people who had an unfair edge in the first place. while i don't think ALL outside help should be banned, i'm kind of glad they'll hopefully be more mindful of stuff like that in the future. in any case, best of luck with the short film!

@nicobirdd Год назад

@@star-nomad Big agree! I loved Pipi, but their extensive outside help seemed kind of unfair to a lot of other films. This year also has a sort of "golden child" film, but to a much lesser extent. Still, favoritism from faculty is never good and makes other films feel less important, which should not be the case at all. I'm sorry you had to deal with all of that pressure :((

@kiwiequis4144 Год назад

I remember being so heartbroken at the derpy incident because as a disabled person, it well and truly felt like disability erasure and a bit ableist in the guise of people didn’t like the existence of a seemingly allistic character so they complained to a point they got rid of all traits of disability to appease to the normies. For a lot of people it was a LOT more than being mad at hasbro for touching a beloved fandom character, I remember a HUGE discussion about disability erasure and anti disability measures across all forms of media/entertainment being sparked for months and months afterwards

It didn't helped that the voice actor didn't realize that they were voicing a girl, and ended up with a voice too low pitch. Then they left her without voice acting for future appearances until episode 100 where she got a more feminine voice.

Yeah same!! There's a huge difference between like that one South Park character that's only there as a disability joke and then Derpy. Like Derpy was BELOVED by the fandom. Why not let the one visibly disabled pony that everybody loved stay disabled! I don't think taking it down a notch with maybe having her not be destroying things constantly would've been a bad idea, but the complete redesign was too far in my opinion.

Honestly as a disabled guy, it's kinda sad what happened to Derpy. I understand that she had some slightly "offensive" traits, but it's even sadder that disabled traits are automatically seen as offensive and not just, you know, traits. Edit because people keep fighting in the comments: • I was a kid when I watched MLP. That is why I was so happy to see an MLP character. • I'm not saying they definitely shouldn't hsve changed it. I understand why they did, I just personally liked her.

@ashleytyraisaacs Год назад

The derpy thing was interesting because normally, the name would be fine. Pushing it but okay. But My Little Pony was for toddlers and you have to be incredibly politically correct. You wouldn't see blues clues or the Wiggles calling someone "derpy." And you can't risk an abled child calling another child with crossed eyes "derpy" or accident give a name to something without responsibly making every child comfortably. I don't agree with changing her eyes. Cross eyed kids need a pony too. But the rename was understandable.

@butternutcrunch Год назад

@@ashleytyraisaacs well, i suppose that's a fair point. I still don't believe having a cross eyed character called derpy is pushing any boundaries because it's really up to the viewer how they interpret it. derpy does not have to be offensive. however, i am aware of how careful kids shows need to be with how children could repeat what they say. so i guess it's really just unfortunate given the demographic rather than the character itself.
