As for using reform and heal I think it fits. Luna was basically crazy and/or corrupted so healing her or reforming her would be the way I would look at it.

Well ...

Nowhere in the show is it referenced or implied that Luna wasn't herself during her Nightmare Moon time.

Luna as Nightmare Moon was still conscious and rational. Angry? Yes, with a good reason. Like I said, there was no indications of corruption or insanity. Nightmare Moon was a manifestation of her anger. Perhaps she didn't even know anymore why was she angry, after all the years. Would explain why she lost that manifestation, and her later feelings.
But still herself. No insanity or corruption over here.

I dunno, a few years of solitary confinement will make anyone go a little nuts.

Not to say I don't agree with you FZ (insanity and corruption are cop-out villain motivations most the time), just that I don't think she was being rational and not just because she was rightfully pissed off.

seriously, this is getting old. stop with the whole "lololol princess tyrannia". this is a pathetic /b/ meme and is completely unfunny.

[Dsarker]

It's not Princess Tyrrestia, it's simply a 40k and MLP crossover.

It's not Princess Tyrrestia, it's simply. 40k and MLP crossover.

In that case my previous post doesn't apply to you.

It still applies to pretty much 97% of the community.

I'd say that goes with Trollestia and Molestia as well, of course.
^{_{And the term brony, calling the series a meme, the list goes on.}}

So... memes in general. I think I wrote up a rant about that earlier in the thread, and how destructive they are.


(though I'm still adamant that titles like "brony" aren't positive or negative, but rather neutral descriptors)

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   A meme in and of itself is not destructive, what causes the destruction is if someone takes it and overuses it or already hated the subject and used it to cause destruction. In real life things like memes happen but because of the smaller number of people the chances of one of those happening is smaller. On the internet because it consists of everyone then if say one in a thousand people wanted to use a meme destructively you would have enough people to go critical and start a death spiral for the subject of the meme. The more people that like the subject the more people you need to destroy it. Having more memes about the same subject lowers the critical point because of intermeme conflict.
   Also things like "brony" are not memes, they are descriptors. Because of the internet such things get a real work out in their definition. In real life its easy to say for instance that you are an American because you live in America or that you are Australian because you live in Australia. On the internet most groups are formed by what you like and where you frequent so all of us who frequent Bay12 would have a name for ourselves but because it is not related to any specific thing outside of likes and such there is no real way to prove who truly is one or not.
   Which brings me to another thing about why internet memes tend to be destructive. There is no real way to say that someone is not what they say they are. If some random idiot somewhere calls themselves a brony and starts dropping memes about MLP you have no way to say that he is a Troll. In a real world group you could easily point to someone who is causing trouble and thus easily make them leave the conversation. Sort of banning which is relatively easy to get around if you want to the internet has no way to remove dissenters. Even if every other person hated MLP with a passion a real world group could easily keep itself together just my not letting anyone who doesn't like it into their group. Online having half the people hate something would make it be treated even worse then the furries are.
   To wrap up I will say that memes can be destructive if someone wants to use them that way or uses them to much. Because of how the internet connects so many people the chances of this happening are increased. Ergo most internet memes tend to be destructive.

Welp. Our very own Argembarger has done...something. Specifically, it's a fanfic deliberately created to be as terrible and horrifically bad as Half-Life Full Life Consequences.

Enjoy?

I think you're famous now argembarger.

As much as I hate to bring the topic back to Spiderses...
I think I can feel my brain dribbling out of my ears.

What's so great about Spiderses?

Apparently this dude wrote it, and it's terrible. It is really terrible. the greatest work of literary triumph ever to grace this screen.

Oh man, the hop skip and jump song is pretty cool. I wonder if we'll get some Super Ponybeat out of it.

Also, I'm digging this song today.

As far as I can tell, not having read it, it seems to be a 'troll' fic, intentionally written extremely poorly. In the vein of Half-Life: Full Consequences, or that one doom fanfic with the "No John, you are the demons" And then John was a zombie.
