^^ Hey Crazy Ace, glad to see some new blood join in on the fun. Also thought you might be willing to check out my MLP Tales reviews/commentary thing at some point. mlplexicon.proboards.com/thread/2081/where-bobdude-watchs-mlp-tales^ Very interesting idea there Notes, though a small part of me can't help but wonder if Tales ponies even celebrate Chrismas in the first place (then again if a modern stone age family and the G3 ponies can....), considering the lack of 'God' in some episodes (Stand By Me, Sister of the Bride).

1. For Wind Whistler, think Spock from Star Trek if Spock was a female flying pony. She is awesome.
2. And I'm now imagining Snoop Dogg or Miley Cyrus as ponies. Thanks for that Notes. Thanks. Also, given the early 90s/late 80s setting, I'd personally at least do a brick phone sort of joke if nothing else, if I was going to include a cell phone of some sort. 3. Ah fanfiction script, truly the most worthy of all the script formats (says Bob while his voice drips with sarcasm). 4. Intresting point, I'll try to keep this in mind for future potential stories.
7. Potential Red Lantern Ring member is the making?

1. Ah, so it was. Meanwhile, Wind Whistler and Kimono would just be sitting around and having tea with one another.
2. Figured the pony version of the early 2000s would put them around the same rough age as the Mane Six. And as much of a mish mash world as Tales is, I don't think that late 90s Sweetheart would have access to an ipony phone thing.
3. Prince Avalanche Alpaca is now my new favorite silly name ever.
4. Eh, fair enough, though Clover always struck me as more cowardly between the two of them.
5. Me thinks Mr. Lumpy Brown Hat has a very... skewed view of both reality and Equestria, if his very inaccurate Tales review is anything to go by.
6. Essenically, like Witchcraft yea. Think the English dub of Duel Masters or Samuria Pizza Cats.
7. Yea, on the one hand, one has to wonder excatly how much Hasbro would care that much, seeing as how their shorts videos has a bunch of Jem songs and Transformers lrated stuff, but all the pony stuff is from either G3 or G4.
8. Thought Button mash was carming enough, but can't help but think thtat MAYBE jan shouldn't have used three trademarked charchters as part of his opening logo, among other things.

True, that line in the birthday episode always did stick out, Sweetheart: But she doesn't know everything Bright Eyes: Yes I do. Oh BE, you and Twilight would get along very well me thinks.
Fair point, I put that all under the general fact that they were older and would act at least a bit mature (so it would stand to reason that Bon Bon would get over her fear of hights on some leve) .
Ah, mlpfan, fun fact it's his videos that I downloaded onto both of my computers, and is the reason I got into Tales in the first place.
Given how short the episodes normally are, wouldn't it be more of a gag fan dub then an actual abridge series?
A fan made season 2, I could dig it, though we'd have to make sure the art style didn't exactly match the show, if the whole Button Mash stuff is anything to go by.

Gotta say, your story sounds pretty amusing (plus a good bit of good ole sarcasm never hurts either), looking forward to it.
Ah, so you've read the Coltenville Chronicles (to this day I wonder if I wasn't better of just sticking with Susan Who as the title). What characterization issues did you have with it?
If we can only be so lucky, hard to keep talking about a show that only lasted one season and 26 episodes. Though compared to some shows that's still more then others got.

I'm lazy about logging out, as for the story, haven't had much time to write sadly.

Good luck on your stuff then, I'm nearly 5k words into the Tales short story and almost finished. All that's left is the reactions of the rest of the mane seven to Starlight's more... rounder body shape.

1. Ah yes. That one very convoluted pony story thing. What's a good way of saying something's almost TOO good, because as good as Pony POV is, I get the feeling that the writer sometime forgets taht he's writing about talking magical horses in the end. It's almost TOO in depth and mature for my tastes, if that makes any sort of sense. Got a good chuckle out of the Lyra thing though. Also, could totally see Bon Bon looking at all the G4 ponies and their skinniness and not being too impressed with that (being a plus sized model and all). Happy to see that I'm helping in some way though.

6. Is it? The only Fim/Tales story I know of that's written half way decently is a Royal Respite by Firehooves... and I put simple HATE that story (and even then it's about Celestia and Luna disguising themselves and interacting with the Mane Seven). So if there are any decent (non script) Fim/Tales stories I'd be happy to have links to them. And it is sorely tempting to go the obvious route (Derpy and Clover interacting with one another would totally lead to this line: THERE"S TWO OF THEM, AND ONE OF THEM CAN FLY!) but there's something to be said for mixing things up as well, I could totally see Pinkie Pie try and treat Sweetheart like Fluttershy when in prank mode, only be very surprised at the difference between SWEETNESS and SHYNESS (one is a lot more willing to call ponies out on their bullnuts for starters). Plus you just know Melody would have fun introducing the power of Rock to Equestria (Twisted Sisters I wanna rock anyone?)
Could also see Starlight, Daffidasiy (who is awesome and silly) and the spa ponies get along pretty good. Though Starlight and Rarity could bond over their lack of success at love. And you just know that even a pony like Patch would find the Mane Six's distrest in the opposite sex (Just one, really?) to be more then a bit odd even for her.

1. Guy's nice as can be, and he is a good writer, though a little formulaic (pony eats food, pony loves food, pony gets the fats).
4. Yup, that's the guy. Never bodes well when one of your own thinks you might be reading a bit too much into something.
5. No one likes the Newborn Cuites, not even G3.5 fans (like the chibi cute artstyle and liked the dragon lady character, so it has that much going for it so far for me)
6. Bright Eyes: A wolf made of of sentient wood, the sheer biological implications alone are staggering! Patch: THAT IS SO COOL! BE: FOR SCIENCE Patch: FOR PUNCHING THINGS! (and then the Timberwolf was the deads). Just use Discord being bored, he's basically the Q of the pony multiverse and him being bored is about a good a reason as any as far as I'm concern. Plus it would be nice it have the Mane Six and Seven interact with one another, especially seeing as how not all of them match up personality wise (Clover and Spike would get along pretty well I think.

1. Mostly inspired from this good fellow, who does a superb job of describing the process of ponies packing on the pounds. collinfatpony.deviantart.com/gallery/2. Vice City does have some most excellent music,certainly got some new tracks to add to my play list. 3. Being a male in his early 20s I'm more often then not very indifferent towards the ship factor, so whatever works in canon is good enough for me. But that doesn't mean I can't want to toy with things every now and then. 4. I think it's telling that Griffin Reviewer dude couldn't help but comment on Mr. Lumpy Brown Hat's utopian reading of Equestrian. It's certain more idealized in real life, but it's no more a utopia then the GTA America is a dystopia 5. Really, all the MLP series had their share of good jobs (adore the song Feeling Good from the Princess Promaida), it's just that FiM managed to step it up and raise the bar to a very high level. 6. Patch always struck me as a more versatile tomboy archetype then Rainbow Dash, lot more interests then just soccer, and she doesn't seem to have quite the single minded goal that Rainbow does (Circus Clown doesn't exactly pay the bills, could see her become a more positive version of the Nostalgia Critic though). She also seems like the type of pony who would adore places like the Everfree forest (Bright Eyes would be fancenasted by the place as well) and Equestria's overall 'wonder and whimsies'.

Funnily enough, I do have a ship fic involving the Tales cast, but it's with Bon Bon and Starlight. And it involves them becoming in shape, a very round shape. The point I'm getting at is that it's a weight gain fic. They'll be looking somewhat like this when all is said and done badblah67.deviantart.com/art/Fat-Pony-Base-374557740... I have a great many fetishes, so sue me. As for the Trock, it's a reference to THIS thing of beauty. Enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=03J_YvGsUQIFunnily enough, I always just saw Ted's anger issues as just that, anger issues. Kid's ten and all, whose to say he won't group up with a much more level head on his neck? So it was YOU who submitted that post, well, you have a heck more screen shots then I do for mine. I just do BonLight solely off of this screen shot. bob-dude.tumblr.com/image/76045923148 That and Starlight working in an ice cream shop makes weight gaining REALLY easy to do. And as for THAT guy and his 'review', well, there's a reason WHY i just call him Mr. Lumpy Brown Hat. Plus anyone who pets Equestria on THAT much of a pedestal can't be healthy mentally. "Clover did indeed say Appleoosa. I've also noticed that Madame Persharon is Clover's ballet instructor in Send in the Clown." Well, only got one way to reply to that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwNrOPFFNjU"I know that all of the ponies can be jerks to each other at times, but I still found Patch to be a bully in this scene." Then you may or may not wind up liking the Impractical Joker, even I was a little put off at first by Patch's behavior in that one, before I rationalized it has leaving Patch's character open for more development as she grew up. " Lovely Surprise and Heartsworth." Welp, though a hell better names then what I came up with. Originally started to give all the parent ponies the name of different couples from classic sitcomes (all in the family, Green Acres, ect) but that proved to be too much to keep track of, so I just settled in giving them names like Bon Mom and the like. "As far as I understand, the Cleveland Bays are a boy-band (considering Impractical Joker) with teen age stars." Are they , always saw them as adults (hence the rumor about Dazzle dating one of them) myself, leading to a reoccurring joke when the Mane Seven all grew up of "What ever happened to the Bays?" (this being a reference to the in universe band of Love Fist from the GTA seriese). "Mad cowbell in the background." Never noticed the ow bell before, if it's good enough for Cheese Sandwich... "What does YMLMY mean?" Your Milage May Very. May or may not be using that acronym correctly, I'm not Blithe Baxter for goodness sake. "And Sweetheart turns out to have a dark side, too. Who knew? (Not me.) May need to write a story in which Patch believes Sweetheart’s a double agent working for the government, if that weren’t somewhat ridiculous" If Fluttershy's moments of awsome have taught me anything, it that's you NEVER mess with the soft spoken ones. And that situation would TOTALLY work a an episode, Patch could totally grow up to become the Agent Maulder of her universe. Or possibly the Agent J.... "just because she spends time with the boys doesn’t mean she’s fond of them." Oddly I've always seen Patch as the asexual one of the group. "But if it’s what I think it is, Bon Bon’s parents (decidedly Long Hose and Slice Cake) have it on even more." It is, and that is a very good point. "Teddy really was a hypocrite afterwards though." Eh, aren't we all hypocrites on SOME level or another. Sides, dudes freaking ten, like none of us ever acted like thingys to one another when we were that age? I mean there's a reason WHY Kids are Cruel is a thing.
