Ungf. Sadness. I don't understand. I ne-never cry so why?
Confound these ponies, they drive me to having emotions.

And because I don't want to imagespan without reason: other pony things that made you cry? I seem to find it strangely cathartic. Feels good to feel.

I watch ponies for happies, not sads. Call it an aesthetic choice, but I much prefer heartwarming to tears.

Still, for those of us who rarely experience emotions at all, even a sadness-evoking picture can be enjoyable, in a twisted sort of way.

Anyone else remember Star Trek: Generations? Data's reaction to a drink? Same thing.

[Dsarker]

I've never seen any Star Trek stuff at all.

Here's the relevant scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thKsY6XidaY

[Dsarker]

What does he mean when he says 'chip'?

[kaijyuu]

Time for panic?

"They left after Season 2 was written. It was a little ugly."

[Euld]

What does he mean when he says 'chip'?

He means Data's "emotion chip."  Data is normally an emotionless android with the desire to "be more human."  He got his emotion chip from his creator later on but rarely used it because he couldn't handle the rush of emotions from it.  In Star Trek Generations, he puts it in for good.  And hilarity ensues.

Time for panic at season 3. They (which I'm presuming means Rob and Lauren) were apparently involved in writing EVERY script for season 2.

Oh, okay. Makes much more sense now.

Well yeah, I meant panic about the long term continuation of the series being called into question.

The quote was panic about LF no longer even approving new scripts for season 3+.

[Dsarker]

It was never going to last long anyway.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, all good things must come to an end eventually. The fandom might still live on though. Who knows? Maybe it'll get revived later. Speaking of which, are The Simpsons still running?

...

Oh god a Simpsons/MLP crossover...

Anyway, I'm still tinkering with those two scenes.

Some shading and minor fixes on the Urist/RD one:


Some detail changes and a crossbow redesign for the Starkey/AJ one:


I even found a use for those decorative rings of Starkey's. If they're fixed to the crossbow on a pivot, they could be used for aiming, aligning the bumps on the two rings with the target and using own discretion for bolt drop compensation. This means that in firing position, the crossbow ends up being held "reverse gangsta style".

Best part about DF/MLP crossover?

Our fanon both involve socks.

Okay. So I just read that Blueblood Groundhog Day Loop story. I can feel the tears coming. That was absolutely glorious. Time loop stories are among my favourites, and that was absolutely magnificent.

I definitely suggest the Fanfic I linked earlier if you enjoy getting your emotions sucker-punched. A worthy read.

For some reason it reminds me of the movie Charlie St Cloud.

It isn't a b'awwwww fic, neither. It's heartwarming.

"They left after Season 2 was written. It was a little ugly."

I'm a little worried after reading that.  I'm not worried that they're going to cancel the show (although they well might, some companies don't give a crap even if a cartoon is doing well).

I'm worried about the quality of the episodes.  It's funny, reading on Equestria Daily, it seems that most fans think that season 2 is better than season 1.  Most people here disagree.  I'm not sure what to think, since I've seen so little of the first season.

I'll admit that I was worried about the show after I read that Lauren Faust left, if for no reason other than it would surely change.  I hadn't even watched any of it by that point, but I knew I was going to like it when I did.  And I did, and I knew that if it changed from something all of these fans liked it would probably only change for the worse.

At least most fans seem to think season 2 is great.  I still think it's better than most crap on TV these days, even if I can't fairly weigh it against season 1.  But if they change writers again, who knows what might happen.

I feel pretty strange caring this much about the fairly distant future of a cartoon that I've watched all of 8 episodes of.  Curse you ponies...
