It spawned that whole thread about "Foul Bachelorette Dash" that was certified platinum.

Hey y'all, it's Friday again, which means I'm going to be running more episodes from S1 on the Pasture tonight. We're actually going to be finishing S1, so next week I could start on S2 if you all also feel like you want to keep watching old episodes.

S1 has the best ending of any season (everypony chilling in a donut shop at 1 am), so I'll do my best to be there for that! :memories:

I mentioned this in the Pasture thread in The Fence Post already, but the rewatch event will be continuing on Wednesdays Thursdays now, at the same time of 7:30 Eastern. That means you should be there on May 18 when we'll start in on S2.

ok I figured it out. Fluttershy makes her bits by drawing Doujins. She publishes under a pseudonym of course.

Also having never really studied this before, having Utena in front makes me like Fluttershy even more.

Not on Wednesday! Any day but Wednesday! :gonkity:

I'm usually not home until 9:30 on Wednesday nights and I want to watch it with everyone. Can you please reconsider changing the time to any other day like Thursday or even a Tuesday, please?

You can see the Pasture calendar as it is now; all the weekday evening slots are taken, save for Friday (Genisi wanted his old Friday slot back, which is why I'm moving this in the first place), and I don't think I'm reliably available enough on the weekends to where I'd want to run anything on Saturday or Sunday.

I don't think Dingotube is happening anymore so you can probably take Thursday so Soft Snow can watch?

Augh! Sorry! I'd been dealing with a bunch of personal crap earlier today (see the Cottage for deets) and then at the last minute I had to run out to the library before it closed so I could print and send off a form that suddenly needed printing and sending off. (Gotta love how the worlds of academia and finance still require so much stuff on paper. :-I)

It's a little late for me to start the show now, but I might just be able to run it tomorrow if Genisi isn't starting his Friday show back up this week nah, I'll just do it next week. Sorry again for the delay, everyone.

I started watching around Spring 2011, so I've been watching for more than 5 years.

You know, that long ago I didn't expect the show to be still around, but here we are.

I don't think Hasbro expected to keep the show around this long, either. :-I

Something I pointed out during the rewatch last week, after someone in the Pasture chat said that it felt odd to see Twilight without wings, is that by halfway through this season Twilight will have spent more episodes as an alicorn than not.

Yeah, that was me. Even now as I read through older Fanfics a lot of them are about Twilight sans wings. I get irrationally upset over that. That's not my Twilight! But then, unlike a most fans, I started when Twilight had wings and then went backwards.

One other thing that now slightly bugs me about pre wing Twilight, is the lack of subtle height difference.

Like, I really notice that now, like "man Twi looks weird being an inch shorter now".

I binge-watched all the episodes that existed in March 2011 and the first episode I watched live was Green Isn't Your Color, which apparently aired on March 18, 2011. Then I lurked here through the between-season break and finally got myself an account the day Season 2 started.

I'm surprised that'd matter much in fanfiction, since unlike in the show or comics, physical appearance and expression matters little except for what the author chooses to share with us. Unless there's a scenario where flying or her political status would help her, it ain't gonna matter much. It's like what I've said about humanized/anthro fanfics, too. The visual expressiveness of a human(oid) form barely matters at all in this medium, so why do it?

I don't think wingless Twilight looks weird, if anything she's cuter. I loved MMC and I got used to the wings instantly though :pinkieshrug:

It matters to me because if you're a good writer you can use those pieces to portray emotions and wings do come up often enough that I notice Twi doesn't have them. So as soon as I notice she doesn't have them in a story I can only picture her without them and and and...

Maybe I'm just strange and it's a pet-peeve.

It is strange because the fandom reacted the same way when they found out they were going to give wings to Twilight. But a thousand times worse in the darkest direction possible. It is hard to imagine looking at the fandom now that back then fans were so upset about the change to Twilight they actually sent death threats to the writers for changing her.

It gets even stranger because back when she first got her wings we had long discussions about how weird it looked but how eventually everyone would get use to her having wings. We even speculated that new fans who joined after her getting wings will probably think it's weird to see her without wings.

It is fascinating to think after all those years you were the fulfillment of that prophecy.

This is pretty much how I feel.

Wingless Twilight is super cute and I think it coincides with her being a more interesting character than her later incarnation; but I don't think the wings "ruined" anything, since the old episodes are still there to go back to anytime, and it just makes them more special that there are a finite number of them. It's not like they went back and retconned wings onto her from the beginning.
