What is this wizardry?

[Michael Archer]

When my friend told me that they changed Derpy's voice, I didn't believe him. He played the audio, over Steam, of the new edit, and I insisted that it sounded fake and I didn't believe they would do something like that. He then posted the Youtube link, and my heart sank. When Rainbow Dash said "Derpy" in the original cut, I burst into a fit of joy; it was one of the best things that could have ever happened on the show. And now I feel like my heart's been ripped out of my chest. It's like giving a child a toy on Christmas that he thought he would never get, letting him warm up to it, and then taking it away from him.

 

What I think is equally as bad, if not worse, is that people on the My Little Pony subreddit and people on Youtube are calling Hasbro's editing of the episode as "censorship." Hasbro owns the property, they get to say what happens to it. How dare the haters compare censorship i.e. an act taken by oppressive governments to silence opposition, to the editing of a children's cartoon. This makes my blood boil. Overall, I'm pretty mad about the Derpy debacle. On the bright side, all that was changed was the iTunes upload and the DVD that's coming out has the original cut of the episode.

 

During depressing times like this, I listen to a song--not necessarily my favorite song--but a song that, no matter how mad I am, always makes me smile. For a long time it was "If You Wanna be Happy" by Jimmy Soul, but it's recently been replaced by something that I'm sure is much more familiar:

The first time I watched this, during the entire song, I was grinning from ear to ear. It's that delightful and it reminds me why I got into ponies in the first place.

 

On a darker note, I read the fan fiction My Little Dashie. Has anyone else read this? It's supposed to be the saddest fan fiction ever written in MLPdom; people say they ball their eyes out at the end. I printed it off and read it a few nights ago when I was alone by myself.

 

At the end, I felt a lump in my throat on the verge of a few tears, but I wasn't crying per se. I felt like there was something wrong with me. I think it's the fact that I just finished reading Atlas Shrugged which has the most beautiful and poetic writing I ever read in my entire life (seriously, even if you don't agree with the philosophy, the imagery and the metaphors are like nothing you've ever read before--but I digress), and that My Little Dashie has spelling errors, grammar errors, run-on sentences and comma splices. I was also thinking about a lot of heavy stuff that was going on in my life that was unrelated to the story. I think I was also tired when I read it; it was about 5 a.m. when I finished it.

 

I really like the story that the guy tried to tell and I really feel like he was making an effort to make me feel the emotions he wanted me to feel; I just think it could've been executed better. Nonetheless, it was a story I was glad to read--and when I'm not as tired and when I don't have any serious pressing issues at hand, I'll probably read it again.

 

On another note, I like to think of this story as the inverse Cupcakes. Where Cupcakes had a terrible story but incredibly well-executed writing (so I'm told), My Little Dashie has a great story but terrible-writing (the writing is ok, but it could have been a hell-of-a-lot better).

I've read My Little Dashy, I cried... a lot.

 

I've also read Cupcakes and that got me thinking about hove easy it would be for me to top that

[Srake]

Do it then. I'll be over here, waiting with bated breath.

I won't but I will tell you the mane idea

 

4 ponies are in a room, no way out, 3 are tied up, there is a blade in the corner. A voice comes from a speaker in the ceiling telling the ponie that is not tide up that he needs to kill one of the tide up ponies and that he must choose. If he dose nothing all of the tied up ponies will be killed slowly and painfully. But if he kills just one they will all be killed quickly. If he kills 2 then he and the last tied up ponie will be set free. The story will be tolled from the ponie that is not tied up.

[Pinkie Pie]

What is it with everyone wanting to corrupt the MLP universe with tales of murder and sexual things?

[Doctor Felix Whooves]

First: most people are shit heads

Second: there is nothing sexual in my story... Yet

[Pinkie Pie]

Well that just proves my point further. XD

[Twilight Sparkle]

'Tis the way of the train wreck, my friend. It's ugly, but you can't stop watching it.

[Doctor Felix Whooves]

To sum it all up "SHIT HAPPENS"! And when it dose it's fun to wach

I giggled at this since I know where your last avatar came from.

[Pinkie Pie]

What, Deviantart? Honest to god I have no idea where my last avatar was from. I just googled Pinkie Pie avatars and decided on that one.

[Srake]

Are you talking about the Pinkamena avatar? If so its from an Askblog for Pinkamena Diane Pie. It follows the antics of a murderous, darker pink pony who has some sort of 'relationship' with Scootaloo.

 

Yep.

[Kirkreng]

My interest for fanfics was ruined when I read one I do not remember the name of. Without getting to specific, it was a story about roseluck, braeburn and some chick who eats babies.

Well if you don't know it I'm a tad reluctant to mention it. I'll tell you over PM if you want.

The fan fic you are talking about is called "The Horror The Horror"

[Blightmare]

Change of subject, like, right now please. This probably isn't going to end well.

[Doctor Felix Whooves]

There is a thred for fan fics if any pony wants to continue it

Yep.

No, trust me, I know Pinkamena. I was talking about the other one I used for longer, the one where Pinkie just stares lovingly. If that's the one Raritys talking about, which I'm confused now if he's not, I don't know where that ones from.

[Blightmare]

Yes that was the one I'm talking about.

 

And apparently the jelly obsessed pony has been given a name by the fandom: Hugh Jelly.

 

So much win.
