[Kippershy]

You have a cloudchaser plushie? Nice.
I have a baby derpy and baby dashie pair.

[RoboRed]

heh-heh:

[Kippershy]

I've got two plushies, pic related.


I also have the little plastic figures, which I only have... Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Twilight.
I ALSO have some MLP wet-wipes which are apricot scented and OH SO NICE.
As well as one issue of their comic.
...
I swear I'm not a typical fat fag who owns 1000's of MLP bits, just a few impulse buys.
Though I'll totally buy more wet-wipes when I run out, they're so good.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Imma leave this here

[Ironmonger]

I'm gonna try at some point to get a custom plushie of one of my favorite OC's made.

[Frost]

Who's she? I may do something.

Mosina. Traveller, Anthropologist, super adorable bat:

This. This is very, very yes.

[CamoBadger]

How many of you have plushies? All I have are plastic toys...

I've got a knitted Luna and RD I got while deployed, and the Cloudchaser which I traded my ME2 Lithographs for.

And then I've got a few blind bags and a glow-in-the-dark Zecora.

[Frost]

I own no memorabilia whatsoever. The ridiculous amounts of time I've poured into this fandom is investment enough; I don't need to spend money on it, too.

[RoboRed]

I have a plushie Twilight.

I also have the BK toy Twilight, and various blindbags, with at least one of all the mane six.

All I wanted was a box from my storage room to pack more stuff for my move.

I didn't want a bunch of spiders hiding inside the folded up cardboard that raced under my furniture as soon as I opened it up.

I wonder if I would get arrested for burning this apartment to the ground...and if my insurance would cover my stuff that I don't bother getting out first...

I've got a couple of the little plastic rarity figurines stuck to the top of my monitor, a glow in the dark zecora, a trixie, a sweetie bell and a nightmare moon.
My spouse has a bunch of the little toys, a plushie pinkie pie and a large plastic pinkie pie. All still in their boxes and in a bag in the closet. Impulse buying at its worst, people.
I have several of the comics which I have gone through multiple times. They are fun.
I also have a couple shirts.

I should really get a rarity plushie... or, perhaps, a zecora one.

Oh, that.

Point is, MC trying to convince Kaiden, that he/she NOT working with Cerberus...while wearing Cerberus armor.

Ah, okies.

@EP: C'mon guys, even I know what "frotting" means xP Soon you'll tell me you don't know what "tribbing" means as well x3

And holy hay what is with me and long ass reviews? xD
Just read a oddly "in between" quality fic. Had the really bad "I want to write a straight clopfic, but because stuff and promotion, I will use two females, say it's lesbian, and have one of them pretend to be a supplement male and do cock worship so my readers will be able to have someone to relate to." yet managed to have insightful-ish stuff in it.

@Frost: Yeah, dislike use of "the batbelt", just conveniently pulling shit out of the ass to make x work. Go shark repellent spray!
Speaking of disembodied cocks. Got a bit disappoint at an artist I recently met. They had Twi with Dash rutting, and Twi summoned a disembodied cock to give RD a facial with the reasoning that "Twi wanted to give Dash something back for the "favor"." And okay, sure, I can dig that... but why not a disembodied vulva then? It'd actually make more sense. *flails* Hate the damn "cock envy/standard" norm that porn implements! Not all lesbians crave cock or see it as superior. Shesh. I mean, like said before: I got vulva envy, go make sense of that society xD

The second part was basically 1: When people use some plot convenience for the sake of being a lazy fuck or shoehorning in shit. Basically, if anything COULD happen, it does. Period. Like... say Red-Eye is actually P-21's daughter from the future. Because you can't disprove it CAN'T happen, and there's a speck of a chance it COULD happen, it does.  And that's all explanation you will ever need to why Red-eye actually is P-21's daughter from the future. (basically that reasoning I see from a lot people I rant about) Or the "I know someone" reasoning. Like "discord got turned good, so "whatever main fucktard is the villian now" turns good and wants to help everyone because of this. Because it happened with one character, thus it can happen to all and any.

2: Is about like, despite there being a average 2,5 % chance for pregnancy in humans, in EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MOVIE/STORY EVER about it, they have sex ONCE and is immediately impregnated and this pregnancy goes flawless despite the high miscarriage chance humans got. Due to the plot convenience or "It COULD happen". When shit like that gets turned into an expected norm, I hiss at it. 3: Is basically just referring to people's incompetence. Like... take Lord of the rings/the hobbit. How come that is better/more memorable than like... the lone ranger, the smurfs or the purge? Like... what the hell does it have that those other movies don't? They are just as good! That is literally the reasoning I see. People for some reason can't seem to understand what makes the difference between like... Colonial Marines and Skyrim. There's no explainable way between what is different between the two for them. And it's like... how can they NOT understand what differs to two? 4: (technically this and 3 should swap place, but meh) And lastly it was basically that I ranted a bit that males actually are allowed to have "variation" in porn. A male could be anywhere from 6-20 inches without anyone making too much of a fuzz about, could have a equine, canine or dragon cock without anyone minding, heck, most expect or even demand it. Whilst a female MUST have the only "beautiful" design, the generic porn norm, no other design is available. It gotta be slim, symmetric and tight. Otherwise it will be wailed upon for being gross.

And for the other fic thing, the main thing was as said that it was ANTRHO. They were humanoid. (in that regard, REALLY hate the excuse that "they're antrho, they can have human OR animal!" when people mismatch genitals. Since sure, they can have either type, but at least have THE SAME fucking type.) And we still follow body proportion. Feral equines can both utilize and have a penis like, bit more than half their leg long, because their anatomy ALLOWS it. The mares are even more hung depth wise to allow it. But if you swap it to a humanoid body, a cock thick as a leg and almost as long as one have no fucking sensible use. AND qualifies as hyper. D cups are NOT hyper.

And that I can get, but that's no excuse to fully neglect a female character and treat them as a tool, or solely focus on only the males pleasure. I can be okay with the content as a whole, to a distasteful degree, but again: It being the expected norm is what ticks me off. Mainly because I know of the wailing said fuckers make if it's vice versa. And um? Which supposedly gorgeous female?

And imo, spend as much time as one as a on the other, or at least give it a mention... if I recall, my psychoshy fic actually does this quite well... if anyone know of "f-list", they are a prime example of failing on this. They got 21 "character information" notes. Such as height, weight and whatnot. 13 out of these are solely for the dick. Even if your character has one. There's one for the vulva and that is a yes/no if they have one. This is a quite notable cause of neglect imo.

And paramount?

I think that's less to do with suspicions that all lesbians 'crave caulk cock' and more to do with the writers, usually young males who draw most of their knowledge from porn, not knowing how else to finish a scene. Because we all know that every woman loves a face full of your unwashed cock, guys, and no one considers that gross.

Remember that Trixie and Babs got "turned" (in Discord's case, outright forced to reject his nature) "Good" (On the protagonist's side; because that automatically denotes 'good' as far as this fandom is concerned) so the lesson seems to be that you can shoehorn any plot contrivance you want, so long as it works in favor of your favorite characters.

Others have noticed your first point. It's usually focused on what's the most "dramatic", nevermind realistic.

Not sure how we've moved into comparing movies, but alright--for your example, I would very much contest your point that Lone Ranger is just as good as The Hobbit--To each their own, but I find the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit to be far better-made and better-written than movies like The Lone Ranger, featuring far more exciting battles, more interesting characters, and a plot we actually give a damn about. While it's probably unfair to say one movie is objectively "better" than another, the general populace has voted with their dollars that Tolkien's adapted works are superior in quality.

I've noticed your 3/4th point as well--non-human males can be huge, monstrous, ugly, or completely alien, while the females are just another bunch of generic 'hotties'. I'm not sure when it became the norm for every single female in a work to be appealing to the male audience rather than being characters of their own, but you're not the only one that finds it annoying. I hope they never remake Lord Of The Rings, because then Shelob will appear as a scantily-clad vixen with a spidersilk bikini--If they want to make her 'truly monstrous', she might have a few spider legs growing out of her back.

It gotta be slim, symmetric and tight. Otherwise it will be wailed upon for being gross.

No, no one in modern works is 'just' slim and athletic. You're not a woman until your breasts shatter your spine every time you shift your freakishly rail-thin body to give a shake of your beach-ball-sized ass.

And for the other fic thing, the main thing was as said that it was ANTRHO. They were humanoid. (in that regard, REALLY hate the excuse that "they're antrho, they can have human OR animal!" when people mismatch genitals. Since sure, they can have either type, but at least have THE SAME fucking type.) And we still follow body proportion.

But if you swap it to a humanoid body, a cock thick as a leg and almost as long as one have no fucking sensible use. AND qualifies as hyper. D cups are NOT hyper.

On the plus side, this lets you resuscitate your lover by applying the compressions directly to her heart with your penis.

And that I can get, but that's no excuse to fully neglect a female character and treat them as a tool, or solely focus on only the males pleasure. I can be okay with the content as a whole, to a distasteful degree, but again: It being the expected norm is what ticks me off. Mainly because I know of the wailing said fuckers make if it's vice versa. And um? Which supposedly gorgeous female?

I mean that between the two parties in a story, especially a male-targeted story, one would think that most time would be devoted to describing the female party. Which makes your mention of the male being the center of not only the characters' but the narrative's attention quite odd indeed.

And imo, spend as much time as one as a on the other, or at least give it a mention... if I recall, my psychoshy fic actually does this quite well... if anyone know of "f-list", they are a prime example of failing on this. They got 21 "character information" notes. Such as height, weight and whatnot. 13 out of these are solely for the dick. Even if your character has one. There's one for the vulva and that is a yes/no if they have one. This is a quite notable cause of neglect imo.

I'm clearly not an expert, but if you're getting bogged down in Purple Prose describing either party's genitals, you need to reconsider the narrative priorities.

And paramount?

Of the utmost importance.

@frost&kim
Oh my gosh, do either of you remember that terrible computer animated movie Beowulf?
Came out in 2007, according to google.
The Grendel was a big, evil, hulking monster. Grendel's mom was supposed to be bigger, meaner, and even more dangerous... so they made her a naked Angelina Jolie.

...looking at Wikipedia, now, there's actually some debate whether the mom was a monster... modern translations depict her as so, while the work could also interpret references to her claws as "hateful fingers" and references to her being a monster as simply meaning she was Beowulf's enemy, but given there is no mention of the Viking hero hitting on her, but in fact being attacked and dragged to her cave, I would think she would (at the very least) NOT be a naked Angelina Jolie...

Edit:
This is in response to frost's assertion that a remake of lord of the rings would turn the spider monster into a bikini-clad woman.

All I remember was that kickass giant gold dragon at the end. 

To be fair to the movie, looking closely shows that she's clearly something in human guise, especially when you see some hulking thing slithering around the background as the Vikings enter the cave. Still, it's ridiculous.

[Frost]

There was never any sexy grendel's mom in the poem, nor in any other translation/interpretation of it I was aware of prior to that movie. That is all I am saying.
They took an old epic story, far older than LotR, and made the big bad sexy. Because sexy :P

While I'm not totally averse to changes to source material (Because some things just don't transfer well onto film, or into game form, or visa versa) turning Grendel's mom sexy was a very, very dumb move on their part.

[Moodyman90]

I think they "justified" that change because "the original poem doesn't really say what happens during that point" and "we only have Beowulf's word"

Which is a load of bull because they wanted naked Angelina Jolie. Despite the fact she wasn't really naked and was actually pregnant at the time.

I'm not oppose to changes to make a film better, like the cutting down of extra characters when you already have a cast well over a dozen guys already, but at least be honest on why you made a change.
