Why wold I be mad? And you coud cantch me because I came up early anyway ther's about 6 hour differences betwen us. I'm living in the GMT+1 time zone. By the way if you alredy found the tumblr than what do you think of the design and character of Miss Starlight? twilyandsmarty.tumblr.com/post/48646088540/did-she-forget-to-mention-that-this-is-her-firstI think I like it verymutch. In Starlight's mind: "Oh my gosh why Miss Hackny never mentioned that teaching could be this hard too." |

I live in EST. I noticed that you were online at some point yesterday around ten, though.
Everywhere else on the internet, I've seen people apologizing for double-posts. I'm still new to Proboards, but I'm learning quickly.
Ha ha ha! Miss Starlight has a pretty nice design, I must say. In the post you linked me to, she's a bit impatient for my delicate characterization needs, but nonetheless, that's really cool!
She must be fairly young in that picture, though. It's her first year teaching, and she hasn't married yet. Clever move, I must say; not only for Starlight herself, but for Filly Twilight. It leaves room for improvement and some flaws that she may or may not have had in the series. (Idon'tshipAceStarlight)
I guess that a good way to find our Tales ponies in Tumblrs isn't by Google searching, it's by plunging ourselves into other funny, adorable blogs.

I'm here too! I came here last summer but found that the forum was dying out.
I'm posting as a guest due to the Proboards upgrade, I hope that is okay? I was acehoneycomb before, but oh well...

Allow me to be the very first person to say, with utmost joy, WELCOME! I'm so glad to see someone else coming.
It sounds like we started Tales at around the same time. I imagine you started sooner, but I watched my first episode of Tales on July 1st.
It's also perfectly fine to be a guest. I'm a guest, and there have been 44+ other guests online in the past 24 hours. Tell me, acehoneycomb, shall I call you by your guest name or your username?
Also, I'm curious... who is your favorite pony? If I just assume it's Ace, someone might just assume that Melody or Pretty Beats is the best by looking at my screen name.

Do all of you know how far up the guest attendance rate has gone up since posts have been made again? I'm very happy with this fact.
I've been working on something brand-new for the Schoolhouse: a compilation of all of the Tales fanfics I've found. It could take me ages, as my Tales folder is huge, but you'll have some fandom stuff to dip into in between posts. And with the quality of a select few of them and the short length of the others, I'll just warn you about how addictive they can be. o'3

As of late, I, Notes, have been busy completing the My Little Pony Tales tag on the brony image website, Derpibooru. I still have a few tags I feel are necessary to look through (including tags that are hidden by default). Many images are exclusive to this site, though many of those are hidden on the default filter. If you wish to see most of the work I’ve done, you’d have to check either the “Everything C” or “Everything” filter under the Tales tag. I’d suggest the former because you can choose, based on the tags, whether you want to see it or not without having it completely omitted from the results. The images hidden are triggers for some people, and by rolling over the image with your mouse, you can get an idea of what’s contained before clicking. But, to see absolutely everything, the Everything filter will save some time. derpibooru.org/tags/my+little+pony+talesHowever, I feel that this takes precedence in my agenda to my own stories and the links compilation. While both of those things are running smoothly in the background, I think that having an immediate flood of new Tales labor is a good thing for our fandom to have. It can also, potentially, get some more fans in the Tales fandom in the future. Additionally, it can be realistically complete in the next week, instead of doing the lengthy Links compilation or the impossible task of completing my stories. But I also encourage guests to come every day to keep that Guests in 24 Hours bar up. Our number has been greatly reduced as of late. Those resilient few who come every day deserve a genuine thank-you for the care, but a fandom is comprised of more than one regular poster and thirteen guests. I understand that we have busy everyday lives, but checking for new posts on this forum would take a few seconds. It literally takes me two and a half seconds to do the quickest check for me. Spending two and a half of your 86,400 second day is not much at all. If there’s a new post, you can and should read it, as it could be another member or a new trove of Tales stuff. Using an analogy, you guys are like the fertilizer that is making the Tales fandom plant grow. If you made a post, you’d become chlorophyll, directly saving the plant by giving it food. But the attendance must continue. If you can’t post, you can at least watch, after all. 8) |

I'm back! With some very odd information... So recently I acquired some G1 MLP And Friends Tales and there was this one cover where Teddy and...Bon Bon (  ?), Lancer (who is purple on the cover and resembles Clover) and Bright Eyes, and... STARLIGHT AND ACE (!!!!!) sitting together on tables at a café! |

Nuances in both the show and covers are fun to look at. I know that I walked around deluded that Bright Eyes and Clover were hanging out on Valentine's day after Roll Around the Clock happened. That is indeed Bon Bon hanging out with that scamp Teddy, too. Bon Bon's Diary made everyone believe that they were actually dating. I personally think of it as a friendship finally beginning, but you know my taste in headcanon goes against most.
Why are you surprised to see Starlight and Ace together? Most think that he and Starlight did something at the end of Just for Kicks. Do you like 'em? 8/
I think you should scan in the comics! Me and the guests would love to see the Tales comics, as we have about three comics scanned into the computer. There are some pictures on one photo site account, but it is beyond difficult to read them. 8)
I respect your presence here even without that, though, Crazy Ace. I occasionally feel like my dialogue is echoing back at me and becoming an public monologue on how to save a fandom of guests. It's nice to have some replies sometimes, y'know?

Well, everyone, I think that it's safe to say that everything's falling back into place with our great fandom. 114 guests and counting online in the past twenty four hours, with one member? The implications of this are amazing, as the last time we had this many people on line was 85 a while ago (when the last post was years ago.) Nobody's posted anything for 48 hours, and yet we're beating all the records. You guys are the best for it! There's been a spike in the number of people on here since bob-dude became a regular poster, and yet we've had visits from artsydreamer, brightglow and Crazy Ace. Plus one mention on another Pony website. Well, it's not exactly a fandom yet, but it's a start! I'm wracking my brain for something creative to do with this development. Writing a story will be a bit redundant because eventually I'll share such things anyway. If you want to post a suggestion as a guest, that'd be nice, but it is early. I will try to get something up, though. Sometime.  |

I knew Tales existed since the fall of 2011 but didn't really get started on it until June 2012. My favorite episodes include And the Winner Is (best musical score), Ponies in Paradise, and The Great Lemonade Stand Wars.
My comics are in pretty rough shape, so unfortunately I can't scan them in. It's a shame, because in one comic, Ace is green with dark pink hair, sports a playing card symbol, and has a bow on his tail! Jingaling and Tingaling are Digaling and Tingaling in the comics and are males.
I've also written a Tales Christmas special in the past where Bon Bon wants to eat the cookies for Santa Hooves.

Aw, that's too bad. It's cool, though, as I can glean a bit from the low quality comics.
I like those episodes too. And The Winner is did have a nice musical score, with at least one inner song inside it. And the Choice song's French horn solo at the end? Simply... magnificent. Moki was plucky and adorable in Ponies in Paradise, too. She was so sweet. (3( Bright Eyes was also great. Great Lemonade Stand Wars just cemented how Bon Bon has as tough of a time as Clover does sometimes. Getting your diary stolen by your friends and then proceeding to be manipulated by the master manipulator isn't how I'd spend my day.
My personal favorites? I love so many episodes it would be easier to list off my least favorites. I suppose that the list would include Princess Problems, The Masquerade, Bon Bon's Diary, Battle of the Bands, Send in the Clown, and Gribet. There are others too, but...
You wrote it?! Sounds pretty awesome. I'd love to read it! Sounds quite like Bon Bon, haha. She'd make the most special super-awesome-riffic-mazing cookies she would not be able to resist. Miss Hackney would totally set up a tree and a Christmas party to celebrate, too. What a cool teacher. And of course Ace is gonna try and trap Melody under the mistletoe. And Patch would try to meet the Christmas pony himself because he's her idol... So many possibilities.
I personally had the idea of a Tales Christmas special called a Very Lancer Christmas. It's started but on the backburner for some other stories to be taken care of. Basically, Sweetheart finds out that Lancer doesn't have a Christmas and enlists the help of her friends to show him the true joy of it. Plus one side story, which would be a parody of A Christmas Carol. Hopefully it'll be done by Christmas time.

^^ 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). |

Definitely check out those reviews, Crazy Ace. They are AWESOME!!!
In Who's Responsible, the pony who caught Clover while she was on her mission to stop the polluter (and Bon Bon was voraciously eating in the background) he mentions "the Christmas pony." They do indeed celebrate it, they just call Santa a different name.
What makes you think that there is no God that some ponies believe in? The Talesverse is something of a pony version of our world, which would logically mean that they celebrate Passover, and Kwanzaa, and Easter. (Then again, the government doesn't use magic here, either...)
