I've decided to pull a hostile cooperate take over of AC44's. Applejack fandom and Incoperate it into my own! Thus making my company the biggest AJ fan company on the forums. I will also be opening up a pinkie based subsidiary as Pinkie now ties with AJ for best pony!

Thank you, that is all. :eyebrow: :q:

I've said that repeatedly. And that's fine - gangtags mean different things to different people. For some people, it's their favourite character (usually the one they most identify with), for some, it's the character they see as best (usually the one they aspire to most be like). (For some, those characters are one and the same). Others have different selection criteria.

For our first order of business, I say we blow all of our advertising budget on the Super Bowl with a hilarious and memorable commercial. Neil Patrick Harris must be involved somehow and the commercial must say nothing about the business itself. We'll make millions overnight.

Motion Approved! :shenanigans:

However as per company policy Mr. Harris must be wearing a cowboy hat & cheese shoes!


Also you'll need to talk to our head of accounting Boneless 1 to get the budget approved. :thejoke:

I've been living a lie, and taking the time off from the forums has helped me realize that I had been fooling myself and everyone else.

Celestia isn't my favorite pony. She never was.

Looks like Turner is gonna turn BOOM into a HUB copycat.

http://www.nickandmore.com/2014/02/04/a ... -adds-ads/

Glad to see the Big guns finally recognizing HUB as a legit competitor.

Of course we have pony on our side. So even if BOOM is slightly more widely a slice I'm not worried. :twiright:

Trixie should be fine so long as she doesn't start anything with superior magic users like Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Rarity, Sweetie Belle or Pumpkin Cake.

Not only am I still a Fluttershy fan, but I also won two forums contests using Fluttershy as source material - empiric evidence that I am TRS' best Fluttershy fan. :dreamworks:

I celebrate this victory by snickering into my glass of non-alcoholic Chardonnay, followed by weeping.

Honestly, Trixie is really one of the most competant magic users we've seen on the show. It's not her fault that Twilight's a prodigy and the princesses are princesses. Her talent is stage magic, which is all sorts of versatile. She can teleport small objects, conjure light-shows and fireworks, work illusions, transmute simple objects, and work weather magic on a small scale.

Plus, her spells never backfire, unlike a certain magical pony. :smug:

:spike101: she's actually an Earth Pony with a painted ice cream cone on her head. She knows no real magic, but is very skilled in slight of hand magic and illusions.

Actually, before I saw Boast Busters for the first time, I thought Trixie was an Earth Pony who was lying about being a unicorn for the sake of attention, and the huge hat was to hide the fact she was hornless. I was proven wrong. :-I

Yeah, same with me. It just seemed so convenient that her hat covered her horn.

The biggest misconception I've ever had about the show was that, going into ACW, I thought Celestia died at the end. I'd seen this image beforehand:

Also, the password for Trixie's horn wi-fi is gr8andpowerful :smug:

Was browsing through my pony art file and realizing... damn, I have a lot of pony art!

My eye was drawn back to this vector from the early days of the show and I just had to share it:

Image

Show Stoppers was the first episode I ever saw (caught it by accident) and remains a personal favorite - it's sweet enough to give the pancreases of the cast of Cake Boss a run for their money. :-D

This vector from it remains perhaps the most iconic image of the show to me, an encapsulation of its break from the franchise's stiff past, its ability to balance different demographics, its girly-girly heart and brazen campness.

I salute you skull-bandana Bloom, and shall eventually put you on a T-shirt or badge or something. :jingo:
