/pone/ - My Little Pony★

Every time I encounter older relics of the marshmallow autism storm I just want to kill myself because I realize that I already lived the best years anyway.

Greetings and hello you colossal newfag, never post again.

>>302525

I am excited for the years to come. I can smell promise on the wind.

>>302533

Well aren't you a lucky little fucker.

>>302532

What a garbage meme

>>302538

What a garbage human being.

>>302522 (OP)

there are some artists that are much better now though, and clicking through you can see their humble origins

>>302573

Back in the day they weren't pretentious, they hadn't gotten a name in the community to act pretentious in a way that would have worked. I don't know that the majority ever became pretentious or anything, I've never really had a problem with community artists in general and most I've met or talked to have been pretty chill, but early on they definitely were not pretentious.

>>302606

Also, there were hundreds of them, which meant that few really stood out. A drawfag in that environment can not act like a self-important dick unless he wants people to stop paying attention to him. Right now, with drawfags in short supply, a really good one like, for example, FearingFun could be a complete ass (not that he would) and still have retards following him slavishly.

>>302609

Oh plenty really stood out, I'm talking about before there even were hundreds of them anyway. Not really limiting it to drawfags either. FearingFun is pretty cool, I've got some of his shit framed.

>>302618

I don't think it's entirely as gone you believe, the explanations and concrete lore they put in wasn't all bad. I understand the desire to hold on to what it used to be though, it was the show's childhood, it could have been anything and when it settled on being something it was at the expense of that potential which had been used by so many people to take it in so many directions that there was more depth in it not being explained. I personally take the show as it is though, just because you know Hasbro's version doesn't mean you can't still enjoy alternative interpretations and conclusions. My heart's version of the show as a wild Middle-Earth style high fantasy world has survived any corporate corner cutting they've done so far, your vision can survive too.

>>302573

Most artists over a certain skill level tend to turn into complete cunts, female artists in particular.

>>302634

It does tho.

>>302637

No it should be but it's not cause let's be honest, twilight did not earn her princesshood

>>302643

For real. "Creating new magic" was the most broken explaination that they could have possibly given. It didn't even have jack shit to do with friendship.

>>302646

>Twilight put in enough

Candace do not excuse Twilight cause like you say Canoli was a mistake. Twilight should never have become an alicorn ever, and if she ever was gonna be one it should have been telegraphed a bit harder. By Twilight's standards the spell she cast was pretty mundane, and really, that's not the kind of thing you earn with magic. That's the kind of thing you earn by demonstrating profound growth or change. And Twilight didn't even have a lot of growth between mid season two and the end of three.

>>302647

Cadence cheapens the fuck out of the entire station, if she didn't exist I would agree but she does.

>>302649

That might work if we had any idea how Cadence became a princess. If we go by the book's lore, the bar for becoming a princess is ridiculously low. While that is good for Twilight's case, it makes me wonder why her more significant accomplishments like reforming Luna or defeating Discord had not been reason enough to make her a princess. In light of those other two things, fixing a broken spell that is not good for anything seems absurdly trivial.

>>302650

Maybe it's because she had the help of the other mane 5 to achieve those things and Celestia didn't want to build a castle for six new royals. Maybe she was qualified after that, but Celestia just didn't want to heap it on her right then so she held off. I'm just taking shots here, if it really is necessary that she make some new magic maybe Cadence did something similar (presumably related to love and/or merchandizing due to her kind of being a hasty write-in and pink skank).

>>302686

I, too, have autism.

>>302689

and maybe it's my own breed of autism, but I was never comfortable calling the princesses 'gods'

…. there is only one God, in this or any other universe….

Which isn't to say said god didn't grant two ponies the right, and ability, to manage and manipulate the sun, and the moon. But they're not gods, just alicorns.

Princess Cadence did come totally out of left field, as did Shining Armor. Neither was really needed for the tale they had to tell us about the land, or the lessons about friends, and about enemies.

I suspect if Cadence had been something other than an alicorn, even if she'd come with a nominal title of "princess", Twilicorn would never have happened. Maybe somebody at DHX has an ace up their sleeve to explain Flurry Heart (I happen to like the ideas proposed in "Flurry is not a true alicorn") but otherwise it seems like cheap grabs at our hearstrings. Or our wallets, trying to sell pony-sized celestia dolls mis-painted pink again.

I would have liked if they solved more of their problems without introducing new species for each new problem. And magic … it seems they've let magic do as it will, rather than holding it to the Equestrian equivalent of science -- outside the understanding of some, but always adhering to simple & immutable laws.

There were moments in the fandom's history that have been amazing, not all of them in season one. The fan-fiction, likewise, has been amazing and I'm so glad this particular universe has excited so many writers, in addition to artists. In particular, I like Fallout: Equestria (reading it, got me to buy the game. Seriously.) and while The Conversion Bureau has some problems, with a little creative license it can be used to ask questions about the human condition that won't get that answer any other way.

I liked Starlight better as a villain, but she's not bad as an adorkable replacement for Twilight-the-unicorn.

I'm done rambling now. Good night.

>>302696

I don't need your opinion to spout my own. But here's another: invest in asbestos. It won't help, but you'll feel like you tried.

>>302695

>But they're not gods, just alicorns.

Have some Webster.

>god : a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality

They're fucking gods.

>>302710

I don't feel threatened. Just angry so many could confuse "being granted the privilege of operating the sun" with "an omnipotent being" -- to quote trixie from the phoenix wright thread, it's like an ant comparing itself to a boot.

>>302711

>omnipotent being

Gods are not omnipotent, just your OP jewish imaginary friend.

>>302723

i don't know what you're hinting at. he's not wrong, so where is the fail? omnipotence is the mark of only the abrahamic religions monotheistic view. if you insist on it that only shows your own ideology, that doesn't change the fact that other religions, which are in majority, never made the connection between their gods and omnipotence, whether you like this or not is of no importance.

>>302740

>he's not wrong

I honestly can't understand how logical, functioning, adult humans can maintain a view that opposes the this description: that the creator is a person.

Arguing which monotheistic person is the real one behind door #2, is a discussion outside the realm of /pone/ I daresay. But rise above the status quo, man! of course' there is only one God. Look at the whole universe, and tell me it makes sense it happened by accident we have a moon exactly the sky-space of our sun. Or that we're just far enough out on the spiral, to be able to see the other galaxies in the distance, and understand their import.

Why is this one little blue dot crowded with a bunch of little, namby-pamby godlets, and you sit there saying there is no God? Don't mark yourself for a fool … you can't take those asbestos shorts with you when you find the pearly gates locked shut against you because you don't think they're real anyway.

>>302742

trolling was shit since this decade started.

>>302742

>There's any evidence at all to support the existence of any god much less exactly one with traits you are concretely aware of

On top of that, you for some reason think that there can only be one god with exactly those same attributes in any (and every) fictional universe that by its very nature has no fucking rules as such. There, I finally told you why you're so fucking retarded, now please end your fucking life and livestream it in this thread like you should have done yesterday.

>>302743

And he's not very good at it, is he?

>>302749

>any (and every) fictional universe that by its very nature has no fucking rules

…

> He doesn't want to go to Equestria

> He doesn't want it to be real

Your life is suffering, Anon. What will you say when Celestia asks for your credentials before entering the everafter forest?

>>302756

>Implying I don't want to go to Equestria and don't want it to be real just because I know it isn't and I never will

If Celestia asked me that I'd say when the autists said she wasn't a god I stood up for her and told them to kill themselves.

>>302743

That is painfully true. It's like people forgot how to do it.

>>302742

>>302756

go back to your containment thread, taxman

>>302763

I would actually prefer it to be Taxman, that guy can at least blend his autism and alcoholism into an interesting product, that while not having a thing to do with reality at least keeps your interest. This shit is just banal, mindless regurgitation of semitic bullshit everyone in the western world has heard a thousand fucking times over. He's started branching out to be fair, trying to distance himself from his completely indefensibly stupid starting position, but it's still not wowing me.

>>302764

> starting position

Oh, that's right. That the alicorns aren't gods, and never have been. that's what started all this derailment.

As soon as you livestream your death, we can go back to talking about nostalgia, which I think is the purpose of this thread.

>>302774

You can livestream yours, I asked first. I was also talking about nostalgia before you shit it up with your Christcuckery.

>That the alicorns aren't gods

That actually would have been fine and good but your reasoning being that

>…. there is only one God, in this or any other universe….

is fucking retarded and I won't let you run from it.

>>302786

> I won't let you run

Who's running? I'm just standing here, foolishly feeding the troll.

>>302787

calling him a troll and dancing around his arguments doesn't do anything except make you look even more retarded

>>302790

>implying i'm supposed to be offended by a facetious insult

>implying that even if i was, i'm supposed to disagree with his intellectual arguments because muh fee fees

go back, fag

>>302790

Christfag's 'argument' was the personal opinion that there's only one god in any universe, which is false when you are talking about a human-created fictional universe that can have any number of gods from 0 to infinite.

>>302792

Remarkably not blasted, a pristine and shapely ass. So plush, yet firm. What a perfect boy. I'm sorry I bullied you. OwO

>>302794

You're dumb as hell and your perceptions are shit because of it. I'm still waiting for the suicide stream, philosemitic manlet.
