:horse: I...just finished watching The World's Biggest Tea Party. Not as emotional scarred as I thought I'd be. I can't recommend it but I accept it for what it is.

That's funny, Robot Chicken did a sketch like that the other night. It poked fun at Bratz "killing off Barbie", and then after that, Monster High ended up killing off Bratz. :-I

In a piece of trivia that I'm sure most don't care about, in G3 Rainbow Dash says "Darling" a grand total of 128 times. If you remove the live stage show and only count animation, it comes to 94 times.

Yes, DailyFinance knows who gets the bits to roll in:

Or at least something else to engage girls who'd rather follow the adventures of Fluttershy and her pony pals.

I find that funny because I'm sure that's a lot more than Rarity in FiM. :v:

All things considered, G4 Rarity rarely says darling on the show. G3 Rainbow Dash can replace half a sentence with it simply due to placement and inflection. It's kinda fascinating.

Mainly because Rarity talks like a person who knows how to interact with others and G3 Rainbow talked like she had super specific speech problems.

You're right, and it's become somewhat of a cliche in the community of Rarity saying "Darling" so often, despite it not being much in the show. I wonder if that was influenced by G3 Rainbow.

The Simpsons didn't really start going downhill until Season 12, so I'd be happy with 8 more good seasons of pony. :excellent:

It could have been made by someone who gave it to the store. Also, what's that one other minor detail, that very small one that people seem to forget all the time... That Hasbro owns every single My Little Pony character and have the right to take something that was essentially stolen from them in the first place anyway? With all the people who put "I do not own these characters" in the description of their fanart, I don't think that's really quite clicked in yet. :-I

Though I still personally believe Hasbro was not involved with this statue, because don't they already have their own models? With all the impressive things people have done as fanwork, I think it's entirely possible someone at the store did it. If it was Hasbro, why hasn't it showed up anywhere else?


Someone briefly mentioned this but yea, Hasbro can't just take & use it. That's the entire reason anyone writing for a TV show is never allowed to look at fanfiction, because if they do and then use an idea they can be sued for it. Babylon 5 ran into this issue all the way back in the early 90s because the creator interacted with fans on Usenet, and someone posted a story idea very similar to one in pre production, so it had to be scrapped (Though eventually the fan showed up with legal documents absolving them of any possible indemnity, allowing it to be made).

It's kind of funny since like, with art there's not nearly as much of a restriction, although of course lifting an asset wholesale would be a nono.

Not directly pony related, but my favorite web reviewer put up a nice video about Fandoms in culture following his review of the comedy film "Galaxy Quest". I think there's a lot any fandom can take from it.

He did a review of the Pony pilot that is great as he isn't a fan, check it out if you like his style.

Summer Games Done Quick. It's a charity event where people try to finish a game as fast as possible using shortcuts and glitches. The two guys are doing a co-op speedrun of Bubble Bobble.

They're also giving each other a lot of shit and it's hilarious.
