Original Characters / Re: Name and cutie mark help!
2012 Dec 14, 16:14:27
Blind bag ponies are the little 2 inch plastic figures you find in, well, blind bags. The idea is you're never sure which one you're going to get. But thanks to this awesome community it's easy to figure them out based on the codes on the bags.
And I do intend on letting my sister chose the name in the end, but I wanted to provide what I thought were a few good names in case she couldn't think of one. If she picks any of them great, if not she has her own brain to pick for ideas.

Thanks for the compliment. It sure helps that this is exactly what my sister has done for me in recent years (non magically, of course).
I have to be honest in saying that I'm making this for her, so I'm kind of trying to pile up some name suggestions, but also leaving it open to her decision if she wants to make it. Its also her call for any background the OC will have, again unless she wants me to make it. I wanna leave it a surprise til Christmas too, so I can't get too much more input for a while. Thanks for the help anyways!

Original Characters / Name and cutie mark help!
2012 Dec 13, 19:47:17
Hey everypony,
So I decided to give my sister a little Christmas gift of an OC and custom-painted blind bag to match, but I'm hitting a bit of a creative block. I was wondering if people would give suggestions to help. I haven't designed her physical appearance yet, but I'll give you a basic idea so you're not totally lost.
Unicorn, cream coat with turquoise mane and tail, although I may flip that. Her magical specialty is being able to sense the emotions of animals and ponies very clearly, and she'll use this to help try and calm her friends down if they're having a tough time. She can also erase some stress from anypony she works with, but there are things she can't erase entirely, just ease a bit.
Right now I can only come up with Guardian Angel for a name, but I just don't like that. I also thought of having her cutie mark being a heart-shaped gear, but again not entirely satisfactory. If it matters to anyone, I already picked up Lovestruck to use as the physical incarnation.
Thanks for the help, and have a great holiday season!

I was answering more as my OC, but we're pretty similar, and I ended up with 3 for the moon as well. Works pretty well, since half of Stormy's cutie mark is already a crescent moon!
I also ended up with 2 butterflies, one flower, one rainbow bolt, and one lotus.
And a slight theory about that page refreshing, since it isn't affecting me. Maybe with equal answers (ie 3 flowers, 3 lotus etc) it alternates? I'm not sure, just an idea as to what might be happening.

You might consider "Flywheel". Its something used to store rotational energy (or so Wikipedia tells me) and used frequently with gears. If you want a visual pun-based cutie mark with that, you could take a wheel and put wings on it.

I think Republic City is kind of like its own nation at this point, based on some info on Nick's site.

Has there been a released date announced for the documentary?
I haven't been following
The latest update on the release date I've gotten is that it's scheduled for some time in November of this year, 2012. Apparently it was slated for September, but with all the money that was given to the project the staff managed to film over a hundred hours of film. They don't have a date posted yet, and director Michael Brockhoff said in an update that if they could push it out sooner, they would. "Think of it as an early holiday gift" he says.

They actually realize they made the mistake and play "Clouds" from here as they start the next video...before it shifts to them landing in Care-A-Lot by flying through the Sonic Rainboom effect.
I used to watch these guys, but I got tired of them and just stopped watching for a long time. Then recently I got bored and visited again, and funnily enough I saw the thumbnail and thought "That's Cloudsdale", so I had to watch. Despite some of their info being wrong or outdated, I'm really glad Fraser gave a shout-out to Bronies in general, especially when he probably predicted some of the comments on the video.

Original Characters / The Oncoming Stormy
2012 Aug 01, 15:09:03
Yes, I'm a Doctor Who nut, get over it 
Anywho, here's my OC. He's not entirely done, so I'd love some constructive criticism. Special thanks to generalzoi and the marvelous Pony Maker for letting me design a character, and to any reader who can get through my incoming wall of text. Good luck!
Name: Midnight Storm
Gender: male
Age: 20
Special Talent: (Still working on this, I can't come up with anything yet)
Other skills: Knows the layout of the night sky instinctively, can see in the dark just as well as anypony else can see in light
Occupation: Nocturnal weatherpony of Ponyville, unofficial guardpony for night-time threats
Born: Cloudsdale
Family: None imagined yet, but likely a mother, father, and younger sister
Living in: Ponyville
Strengths: Stands up for his friends, Likes to listen to others problems, puts his friends joy above his own
Weaknesses: Takes time to warm up to a pony, shy, bad sense of time management, sometimes a bit too eager to please, nocturnal nature tends to separate him from everypony else
Nicknames: Midnight, Stormy
Appearance:
Cutie Mark:
Good Friends with: Derpy Hooves (or Ditzy Doo, if you prefer), Lightning Bolt
Has a crush on: Princess Luna
Often seen with: His sunglasses. He lives at night, guys, think his eyes would be a bit sensitive!
Past:
Ever since he was a colt in Cloudsdale's flight academy, Midnight has been fascinated in the night sky, and not just as a result of his name or his dark-blue coat. When he could, he would frequently fly out to a lone group of clouds with his book of constellations and celestial objects and just spend hours spotting them, provided he convinced his mother that he would be safe. It didn't help his socialization much admittedly, as he preferred the night when everypony else was already asleep. Teaching himself to fly with little light also helped him to make flying second nature much faster than most other pegasi, ensuring he passed Flight School in the top ranks. Stormy wasn't much of one for showing off, and was willing to provide help to anypony who asked.
While Midnight knew he loved the night, it took him a while to earn his cutie mark, though not for lack of effort. He tried working with the weather, which was particularly entertaining but never felt quite right, followed by thinking about trying for the Canterlot Royal Guard, but nothing really grabbed his attention. Finally one evening as he watched the sun set and the first star of the night appear, he recited star by star as they glimmered into view until too many came at once to follow. Suddenly from somewhere below him, there was a call of "Daddy, I can't see!" Looking over the side of the cloud he was on, he spotted a little filly looking up at the sky from a window. It suddenly hit Stormy that not everypony had the same ability to enjoy the night sky as he could by simply flying to a clearing in the clouds. He quickly moved his cloud out of the filly's way and heard her excited remarks, which got him thinking again about being a weatherpony. While moving clouds and such had never felt so great in the bright sun, but under the light of the moon he might after all enjoy his work.
Flying home, Midnight immediately decided to check into the possibility of night-weather control, and sure enough found that some ponies did in fact change weather over the evening. Delighted in his discovery he returned to the Weather Factory, determined to learn his craft as a pegasus. Shortly thereafter his cutie mark appeared.
Once he earned his cutie mark, Midnight decided that Cloudsdale was too crowded a place to enjoy his work and decided to move to another town. Knowing Canterlot and Manehattan would likely be covered in lights even at night he decided on someplace rural, stumbling into Ponyville by sheer chance and settling there. His cloud-house is located just a ways out of town in the mountains, but close enough that a 5-minute flight is all he needs to land himself in Ponyville square.
Present:
Following Midnight's move to Ponyville he met Fluttershy, Derpy Hooves, and Lightning Bolt, each separately, and has become quite good friends with Derpy and Lightning, but he hasn't seen Fluttershy much since the Nightmare Moon crisis. He admires Derpy for her spunk and how she doesn't let her clumsiness and directional issues get in her way, though Midnight does worry a bit about her stories of a fantastic doctor pony who runs in time and space. It's a great story, but he's worried Derpy thinks this Doctor is real. When he first met Pinkie Pie his reaction was what some might consider "normal": shock, a bit of fear, followed by cautious but grateful camaraderie, and finally just accepting her strangeness (usually) and talking to her on and off about anything that might come up. He doesn't share her fondness for pranks though, and is somewhat grateful that Pinkie tends to burn herself out before he starts the night shift.
Just after the Nightmare Moon crisis Stormy stayed up for the return of Princess' Celestia and Luna, and was awestruck by the sudden realization that Princess Luna was essentially the embodiment of his beloved night. When she returned for Nightmare Night he was overjoyed, but sadly didn't get much of an opportunity to get to know her (partially for her summoning many stormclouds he had to clear away, mostly because he was trying to hide thunderclouds from Rainbow Dash,) and hopes she will return soon.
Midnight has a lot of trouble keeping a straight schedule. During the summer he usually sleeps half of a day away, since he's mostly active at night, but it's never consistent if lunchtime is his breakfast or dinner. He tries to plan ahead so he can lend a hoof for things like Winter Wrap Up, and he enjoys a good Pinkie Pie party every once and a while, but sometimes it ends up making him sleep deprived.

Greetings and welcome to the forums and to LoE ... wait how did you escape from my decknevermind greetings
anyway as per your question to post images you will need to have the images saved somewhere aka photobucket, deviant art ect, then you will need to right click the image and open propertys and copy the address (URL)

Hello and welcome to the forums!
Though i'm not quite sure what you mean with that question. Do you mean to post it in the thread or...?
Haven't slept tonight so, excuse me
I did mean I want to post my images in the thread, but I at least figured it had to be on another site with an image link. Thanks for trying to think on little sleep though: I know that can be tricky.
And thank you to everypony else with the welcome wagon. Pinkie would be proud, I'm sure!

2012 Jul 31, 23:03:25
While I liked all the songs in the season finale, I had to go with "Love is in Bloom". I'm not even sure why, really, but then again I've never been sure why I like the music I like. Might have been the beat, or it might have been Luna rocking out in the background. All I know is I was ecstatic to hear the lengthened version when it was released.

I felt the ending was a little overkill in the Closure department. If only Mass effect 3 had that kind of closure
I agree that the ending was a bit rushed for closure, but from what I understand it wasn't known if Nick would pick up the show for another season or not, so they wanted to wrap up as much as they could, in case the story didn't have more time to unfold. For me the Asami-Mako situation was handled a bit poorly, and I'd like to have seen what would happen if given more time.
