About nine hours 'till ponies. You can be assured I won't be visiting this forum until I watched that episode.

 

I've asked a few people this question and none have come up with a satisfactory answer: from what region is Rarity's accent? Obviously, Applejack is Southern American and the rest of the ponies have Western accent variations--where the hell is Rarity from? Her accent is too British to be Western and too Western to be British!

 

Also: The episode airs six days after 9/11.

 

There are six ponies.

 

HOLY SHIT, HASBRO IS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY

I've never heard any of the ponies speak, but from how you describe the accent, and given Rarity's personality, I think it's just an attempt by the writers to sound formal without making it seem as if Rarity was English/British.

[Pinkie Pie]

Very astute. And, actually, I think you're right. I think Rarity just puts on a more 'formal' accent to appear more professional. When she loses her temper or goes into extreme levels of emotion she slips into an accent most of the other ponies have. To add to that, her sister has the same accent as the other ponies as well.

 

edit: I guess 'sophisticated' IS a better word' to describe.

I think they gave Rarity a Mid-Atlantic accent. The kind of accent that rich people used to talk with as bullshit means to sound sophisticated.

Why did I just cry over that? That was awesome.

[Blightmare]

I know the feel bro.

Heh, you've got quite an ear. Wikipedia article says, "It blends American and British without being predominantly either." It adds "[it] is a cultivated or acquired version of the English language that is not a typical idiom of any location."

 

I guess they are just pompus assholes.

[Axeldeath]

Yeah, it's like those upper-middle class people in England that are middle class yet speak with a posh accent to sound important.

[Michael Archer]

And with this, I bid the forum farewell until I'm all caught up with ponies.

 

Closing thoughts: everyone's seen this, right? Of course you have.

Funny, right? I thought so too! Notice anything weird?

 

No?

 

Are you sure?

 

Look again...

 

 

 

 

 

How exactly is Rainbow Dash holding the candle? She doesn't have thumbs, or a magical horn--and neither does Pinkie Pie. Thoughts?

[Axeldeath]

There is a brace attached to her chest that holds the candle in position in front of her. Standard stuff.

45 MINUTES!

My Dad is lower-class and he does that

[Axeldeath]

Can't be back here until I've seen the next ep of MLP

 

Ima just leave this here before I go though

 

 

I KNEW IT!

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT THESE FORUMS WHEN YOU COULD BE WATCHING THIS!?!?!

That was awesome!

 

For those who haven't seen it:

 

 

The ponies get tricked into opposing the element they stand for.
