The ponyless near-year definitely took its toll on my perception of the show; it's been a looooooong time since I was newly amazed at how much the name "Fluttershy" is a brilliant play on words. Especially recalling Green Isn't Your Color, when she spends so much time working with Photo Finish, who is as much a shutterfly as possible.

I completely forgot about the Part Two recaps in that time, so when I watched the episode yesterday, I was like "oh, right, this.". :v:

Do note, though, that Fluttershy is a G3 name :yay:

"Catches up to all songs" - This had better not be bull. I want that good "Cutie Mark Crusaders" song, dang it.

You'd think the deal with Weird Al would have included rights to release the songs from the episode, especially since he apparently had no part in writing them.

Could Weird Al potentially release them on his album or as a iTunes download?

He didn't write the songs. He just sang them.

You'll have to resort to :filez: to get those songs for now. If they didn't get clearance from Weird Al's management or his record company, those songs will never get an official release.

And it's not like Weird Al had a part in all of them, either. He sang in neither "Pinkie the Party Planner" (though he did in the reprise later in the episode) nor "Make a Wish" (which has received a couple of soundtrack releases).

Yeah, that's true, I thought he could only release the songs that he had sang on. Oh well... :pinkieshrug:

Twilight can only answer a limited range of prayers. They have to relate to friendship, twilight, sparkling, checklists, or spoilers.

You think that the comic artists might do anything in the actual show? Say like, there was a montage done in a different style?

(Wow, my first post here :v: ... and I still haven't seen the premiere :gonkity: )

So I was on a wiki, reading about certain characters from a recent game called Pillars of Eternity, when I discovered that each companion character was actually written by individual writers. And that got me to thinking...

Wouldn't it be interesting if MLP, at least for one episode, had all (if not most) of the writers be responsible for one character each?:smirk:

Meghan McCarthy would write Twilight, AKR would write Pinkie Pie, Cindy Morrow for Fluttershy, Larson for AJ, etc. Maybe have a rough outline of how the story ends and have each writer working off one another to reach that destination..
Like roleplaying :-P

Granted, Pillars of Eternity =/= MLP in many story and character-wise ways, but still, the idea of each writer writing for one character in an episode sounds intriguing if it were to ever happen.

I'd be rather surprised to see that happen, mainly since the show doesn't do much of that sort of thing in the first place.

Jay posted this on Facebook:

"Just drew three background Pegasus', and made their cutie marks (1) a Nintendo game controller (2) a chainsaw, and (3) a jar of mayonnaise. I must be drawing My Little Pony at 2:30 in the morning...."

I can't wait to get the finished copy and look for those cutie marks :v:

I imagine Hasbro will say no to that on account of it feeling too modern. Even though the NES (assuming Jay Fosgitt is talking about the NES controller, specifically) is '80s as all hell, the design of video game controllers has still remained unchanged enough that it would look a bit weird in Equestria. A joystick for an arcade game would be more suitable, especially considering that we have already seen those.

Plus, the NES controller might be copyrighted by Nintendo, meaning they might have to change its style.

I hate when people make OCs with cutie marks of specific modern things, especially trademarked objects from companies. Ponies don't have Gibson SGs or Xbox controllers. It completely takes you out of the universe when you see one. :bluh:

And even that can usually be gotten around with some creativity. I mean, the thing I'm best at is computing (Web development, specifically), but Equestria doesn't have anything close to our modern computers, so it would've been stupid if I had used something like a picture of my iMac as my ponysona's cutie mark. Instead, after considering that as well as my name, I came up with the symbol seen in my sig.

Yeah, Equestria has some advanced technology of some sort but I think that computers (and, to a lesser extent, television) is pushing it. That's why I'm glad that Equestria is shown to have film: it makes my OC fit in. :v:

That's really a thing that people do? I can understand having them with tomato soup, but I think an actual tomato would clash too much in terms of flavor and texture.
