Lonk Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I suppose that mostly depends on pre/post-reformed Discord. Regardless of being pre/post reformed, he still will be a tricky guy to deal with. He seems like the kind of guy that would cause chaos at any given opportunity, even if he is reformed.

Grunt Issun Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 The difference being said chaos is a lot more likely to be malevolent pre-reformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Why couldn't I just make an OC that isn't hammy/Mary Sue like I wanted to, anyway? I'm still going to try, but it just looks a bit discouraged, which is a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still going to try, but it just looks a bit discouraged, which is a real shame. Because Mary Sues in general are discouraged. It is only acceptable if you know how to do it right (by making it over-the-top ridiculous over other mary sueish characters that it becomes a laughable joke, or if it is a Mary Sue that isn't a Mary Sue). I shouldn't have to explain what a Mary Sue is for the purpose of this argument, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I actually have a more normal OC, that I made for the sake of appearing in the banner of my local brony group. This one girl says me and my OC look the same. Except I am not a pony, duh. Go on, guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I like those OCs. Is your OC the 2nd to top-left yellow pegasus stallion with the black mane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have to explain what a Mary Sue is for the purpose of this argument, right? I know everything you just said. I am asking why OCs in general appear discouraged. You didn't see me say I didn't want to make a Mary Sue, anyway? If I know the term "hammy," I'm pretty sure I know a Mary Sue is a bad thing in most cases.

Grunt Issun Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 OCs in general are frowned upon because it seems like EVERY OC ends up being a Mary Sue, so people just automatically associate the terms. A normal OC is perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3tM0nk3y Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Living with Discord would either be a dream come true, or an unholy eldritch nightmare just waiting to be unleashed. I suppose that mostly depends on pre/post-reformed Discord. Both sound like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 A normal OC is perfectly fine.There's a bit of irony in this.See, it's partially do to the fact Unicorns are magic, and with that in mind it can get out of hand pretty easily if you start mentioning said character has telekinetic abilities n' junk, similar to that of Twilight(I know Twilight isn't telekinetic, but that's irrelevant).Although, there's nothing wrong with having situational magic; Rarity's ability to find gems, Flim/Flam's ability to operate a cider producing machine, etc, etc.Also, just to go off-topic real fast-While looking on YouTube for a song from Just Dance 3, I stumbled upon this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiUMUPlc9HUThis video is golden.

Shradow Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 So I was looking for the clip from Family Guy where Peter's going on about hearing the title of the movie in the movie, and I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_86-_upiFbY Also, I think pretty much every unicorn has telekinesis.

Toffee. Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Nightmare Pinkie is the equivalent of like 10 Discords. Just sayin'Ok, shenanigans aside, lets discuss this for a minute-Cutie Mark Chronicles has a city:It's rather interesting that they have asphalt and what-not, yet, you never see a single car. I mean, yes, they have cranes. Cars? Pfff.(They probably still use wagons, but wheres the fun in just leaving it at that?)Yes, I feel like nitpicking small details, but cityscapes and things from that area always amused me in MLP, because they are the Schrodinger's cat of the series; Simultaneously out of place and appropriate at the same time.....Also for all we know city-ponies drive hover cars.

Lonk Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, the MLP universe is essentially Schizo Tech/Anarchism Stew. There are a bunch of things that appear there, but make no sense until you think about it. The asphault there is to probably mark where carriages can go and to seperate pedestrians from being in the path of [s]a pony drawing a[/s]pony-drawn carriages.

Grunt Issun Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, Word of God says that all the tech in the MLP universe is powered by Unicorn Magic. So, in other words, you can explain away any unfitting piece of technology with "A wizard did it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can't say they could have horns covered by the helmets, since in Sonic Rainboom, Rarity and Twilight wear their respective helmets more on the backside of their heads, rather dead-center like everyone else; Likely due to the fact you cant wear a helmet with a horn sticking out of your head.

Grunt Issun Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 What does construction have to do with a sewing machine being magical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 He means that construction is obvious modern technology, but there aren't any unicorns around to power them. However, you can also say that it is Earth Pony Magic that powers that as well. Wait, why are we trying to justify anarchism stew in MLP anyways? Shouldn't we just accept that it is there?

Lonk Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 tl;dr A wizard did it. Also, since I'm replaying Okami, here's a pic of [url=http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/186/a/7/a71cda13ba865f285781f17dd3378a78-d3l43rj.png]Kazegami ponified[/url]. I'm pretty sure that it is a redundant thing to ponify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 He was the horse one, right? He gave Ammy galestorm. So literally, it's just changing the style. Reminds me of one Nuzlocker, Kitfox, who had a Ponyta that he drew in the style of the show, who acted like he was from the show in a slightly overblown way. He also had a Keldeo in his Black 2 Nuzlocke, but Keldeo ALREADY looks like a FiM pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I honestly love redundant ponifications. Sure, ponifications are everywhere, but the idea of making another equine being in media fit the art style of FiM is more or less of a joke thing, and actually makes me appreciate it further. Yes, Kazegami is the Horse Wind God. And yes, you can't make Keldeo look more like an FiM pony even if you tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3tM0nk3y Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 A wizard did it. So, just wondering, I came across a subreddit all about kind of "adult" stuff. Just kind of 18+ humor more or less. So, let's call a vote for this. Should I start posting it in spoilers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
