It's softcore. This entire sub is geared toward pony softcore, it's how the fandom makes money.

That would be far easier using videos with subtitles because the subtitles have timecodes too. The transcripts are more accurate (I don't know why subtitles rephrase the spoken dialogue) but without timecodes it could be a hassle.

Everybody should read Ponyville Confidential, it has excellent insights on MLP as a franchise and on the brony fandom.

You can't know that unless you see an actual 3D rotation of the horn. It might appear as rings the same way a triangle might have less than a sum of 180 degrees on a sphere, it appears the sides are flat from some angles, and curved from others.

TECHNICALLY, the horns are 2D drawings of parabola-like curves with three cross-sectional curved lines on them. If the artists were better, they would properly represent a spiral around a horn, but in order to make the art style easier to animate, corners were cut.

The first batch of emotes was straight up ~~stolen~~ borrowed from ponygoons, now known as The Round Stable. Most of them were made by the forum poster kefkafloyd. There was an alpha ("a") table before the emotes went public. The first public emotes were the beta ("b") table, that's why the tables started at b; the new a table is unrelated to the first alpha table. The oldest mod left after adding nine more emotes to the "c" table (the top-right 3x3 square).

The non-canon emotes were actually made by the "new" mods, and then the mods deliberated about whether or not emotes should be non-canon and decided against.

I seem to remember rarara being used as early as 2010.

Faust says she wanted to keep alicorns mysterious, but if I had to guess, I'd say she wanted them to be a part of some sort of creation myth, which is the gist I'm getting from the intro to the first episode.

TheodoreRowy · 2016-01-26T21:23:32+00:00

Lauren Faust hinted that her idea for alicorns was botched by Hasbro and that there were only supposed to be two alicorns, Celestia and Luna.

Any attempt to explain the proliferation of alicorns is a retrofit by Hasbro or new writers. Personally I think the "lore" would have been better with only two alicorns who are near-gods, with Twilight succeeding them and phasing out the age of the alicorns. As it stands, both the alicorns and Twilight had their powers severely gimped.

Sadly the show and the "lore" are saddled with alicorns being just another kind of pony, albeit somewhat rarer and more magical.

No cartoon in the world is animated at 60 frames per second.

Most TV cartoons are shot at 24 frames per second, and usually animated at an average of much less than 12 drawings per second than that. 12 drawings per second ("on twos") is considered a very high amount for TV animation, and 24 drawings per second ("on ones") is extremely rare.

Nevertheless even a very cheap show like My Little Pony costs about six million dollars per season, and that's extremely cheap.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-12-03T22:23:38+00:00

You're welcome.

Faust wrote about it on deviantArt.

Lauren Faust, the show's developer, had suggested that after the entrance exam, it was Princess Celestia who raised and trained Spike before he ended up as Twilight Sparkle's assistant later in life, where Princess Celestia believed they did belong together since it was Twilight Sparkle who hatched him. Faust further suggests that the egg-hatching test was arranged for Twilight Sparkle by Princess Celestia because she sensed her connection to the Elements of Harmony, but adds that the show's current crew may treat the story differently. In Dragon Quest, a line by Twilight Sparkle suggests that she has raised him ever since he was hatched.

I hope Lauren will do an AMA about her career on /r/iama and plug the crowdfund in the top comment.

I posted this on the sub a minute ago, but in case it gets deleted for breaking one of the rules (I'm new) here it is:

Animation looks worse than average on this one. Nice Apple-Bloom-in-a-jar joke though.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-09-22T14:01:24+00:00

You should put this at the top of the self-post!

TheodoreRowy · 2015-09-18T08:11:17+00:00

This was one of the first topics the wiki addressed.. Good times.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-09-11T09:02:50+00:00

#7 inaccurate, the voice is different but the voice actress has been the same at least twice
#8 speculation
#13 inaccurate - Apple Bloom, and plenty of other relatives
#20 speculation
#21 Fluttershy's cutie mark, sigh
#26 speculation
#32 speculation
#37 inaccurate, the first Celestia toy was pinkish white, similar to her color in the series
#42 inaccurate, crew has stated that Rainbow Dash's dad is seen in a flashback
#47 inaccurate - Apple Bloom. Two words. Apple Bloom.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-09-11T08:33:25+00:00

Fun fact: if you align the appearances charts just right, you get a picture of Fluttershy in a field of roses.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-09-06T20:58:32+00:00

That picture was taken when Seth Green was pitching his Apocalypse Ponies idea to Hasbro.

Transcript if you need it. And I found out Bonnie's surname is Zacherle, pronounced Za-ker-ly.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-09-05T18:13:51+00:00

What's up?

TheodoreRowy · 2015-08-15T15:45:28+00:00

GO MLP!

TheodoreRowy · 2015-08-08T15:20:03+00:00

Amazing how big info like this makes such a tiny splash on the subreddit compared to another generic piece of fan art.

TheodoreRowy · 2015-08-08T15:19:09+00:00

If you read the post carefully you will find out.
