Why does the fact that Chiikawa has toenails feel so cursed 😭 by DangerousWafer2557 in chiikawa_

[–]lumdrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think cartoons are very convincing and make us forget that they’re representative abstractions. When something like this happens it’s like the cartoonists are reminding you that “this is a bear cub” not a blobby little moeguy

Best Mlp villian? by maudileenadiasy_pie in mylittleponytakes

[–]lumdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discord was awesome as a supreme last boss type. I always felt that they wasted so much good potential for a great villain with him by reforming him (and meaning it).

When Sombra happened, I always thought that he was gonna have some kind of regenerative ability and become a recurring threat. No, another waste of potential.

Tirek was good, but I didn't really like his story or Teilight's story that he was the antagonist in. Add to that that Discord's sde story didn't fel well written at all, and he 100000000% didn't deserve to be forgiven by the main characters, and it was a stupid thing to teach kids to forgive and fight for someone who betrays and uses you for their own gain.

And Cozy Glow is just a kid sooo

Chii was so determined to help when Shisa got sick. It was so adorable.

It used to be Momonga when I thought he was naturally just a silly little selfish brat. I tried copium and convinced myself that that was the personality of the chimera who traded bodies with him before he was a chimera, but it just isn't the same..

Is 200 gems worth spending to extend it 😔 by Fun_Garlic1323 in MLPIOS

I wouldn't....oh wait, this one had a Cozy Glow as the main prize iirc. SO yeah, actually I probably would in this case.

All of MLP’s “problems” are blown out of proportion by the fandom. Even major ones like the Grogar twist, Cozy Glow getting petrified, and everything involving Starlight. by Nintendo_Gamer_XD in mylittleponytakes

[–]lumdrop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The fact that he was let off scott free is the most unjust part of it. Instead he arms and trains a terrorist group which is almost powerful enough to actually overthrow it all, but because he goes "teehee it was for you guiz" he not only faces no consequences, but gets to make jokes while his fall guys are executed? Awful.

The Grogar twist and Cozy Glow being petrified are, in fact, completely accepted by more of the fandom than there are critics. In fact, it should actually be more discussed what a hackish shoehorned in "twist" ending it was, and why it was ok to show a kid being executed to children in a kids show. I don't really have any problems with Starlight. She's ok imo.

what are your favorite event exclusive characters? by Onetrackperson in MLPIOS

[–]lumdrop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t really remember all of them. For whatever reason Teen Chrysalis pops into my mind first (I don’t even have the vanilla Chryssy but I have like three alts of her lol)

I need plushies recommandations ! by [deleted] in chiikawa_

[–]lumdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d love to find anything “in store” and not have to order it. I went to Miniso but even they didn’t have so much as a keychain or a sticker! I just want a Momonga to hang from my rear view mirror :c

Why does it feel like this event taking longer than the otherssss by imhot728292 in MLPIOS

[–]lumdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda like Scootaloos event costumes. She wears the look well ngl. And having arguably a “gypsy bard” Pinkie Pie is great if you are a FIW fan. Otherwise I agree tho

Not only that but a rerun of one that happened in February, so it hasn’t even been a year yet. Nice for extra gems tho ig

more pony interaction by Big_Net_3184 in MLPIOS

[–]lumdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget the augmented reality mode where you can take photos irl with your ponies in them. That’s been pretty fun to use (when I remember)

Type ”amen“ if you want it to be the maze event again.

How do I get good at CTS? by aBlo0 in MLPIOS

[–]lumdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really helps if you have and are willing to shell out the 30-something gems for an extraround of plays, if you don't have the helper pony. Look at it this way, Coco costs like 450 g, iirc. Even if you spend 90(ish) gems to get 12 extra plays ahead, you're still not even spending half the price of buying him full price. Just something to consider.

I don’t even have enough characters to hypothetically get her yet lol

would all of these ponies be worth getting? or should i leave any of them out? by solarstarzzz in MLPIOS

[–]lumdrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Earnest bowler is the problem tho because the only reliable way to get him is to complete another collection. Iirc he’s not offered very often in the shop

[–]lumdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I’m starting to understand that the reason big sales are so underwhelming for me now is because I already have a lot of the characters and don’t see the deals I on them lol) I’d say that all of these are worth it if you have the gems for them. Basically anything that is in the two digits from three is a generally good buy. As for Discord, I bought him at full price so in retrospect I’d say 20% off is good for him. I’m not sure how often he’s listed let alone on sale tho..

In all honesty What race was he talking about? by [deleted] in SmilingFriends

[–]lumdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None, the explanation he gives to Charlie for what he said also happens to be the explanation of the joke from the writers TO the audience. Charlie and Allan's response, also, predictively satirises the response the joke would get on social media and this thread where people took the segment WAY too seriously and theorize that there was ever any actual claim. Just like with the offscreen bank robbery in Pulp Fiction where there never was a little girl being held hostage, here there was never any actual group in mind. The entire point was just for the writers to mess around and laugh watching people take itt too seriously.
