Remember, too, that most people don't react to a new discovery by trying to figure out how to weaponize it.  Bay12 is not unique in that regard, but it is unusual - especially by Equestrian standards.

Huge amounts of d'aww, but really depressing too. Mixed emotions, hnng.

Also, try to find Pinkie.  :P

I saw references to AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy and of course Pinkie Pie and Twilight, but couldn't find any links to Rainbow Dash in that pic. Anyone else spot one?

Edit: And found it. All the Mane 6 are there. Yay for bittersweet, thank you Flying Dice.

Actually, there is something else related to Pinkie apart from the balloon. Look at the middle of the right side of the image.  ;)

Also, that image is channeling an emotional mix, but without context it's rather hard to quantify. It's a time skip, that much is obvious, but what happened? Is Celestia escorting a dead pony through the town? (In which case, the populace is awfully happy to see her go for some reason - not a hint of a tear or a sad expression on anyone except Spike) If not, what has happened to the rest of the M6 (Pinkie excluded - she's obviously a minor Time Lord)? If nothing happened, and they are just old and can't all be here - what is the "last parade" about?

Sorry for being so analytical, can't help it. I just can't form a defined response to the image without some context information. The one Dsarker posted (the "He was too strong" one) communicates the context beautifully, even if the exact events are unclear, so I can enjoy both the art and the response it induces in me. With this piece, I mostly appreciate the art and detail, but the response it's supposed to evoke eludes me. 'Tis kinda odd.

I'm trying to figure out whether that's all about death, or if Twilight is just sleeping, and the rest (minus Pinkie Pie) just couldn't be there.
Can't imagine they'd be having a parade with bright-colored streamers if it's supposed to be about death, but I've seen stranger things, I suppose...
Damn vaguely philosophical pony pictures.

EDIT: Am I the only one who thinks that Spike just looks totally wrong with that figure?  I mean...  He's a dragon, not a parade balloon!
....Wait!  Is that...?  Could that be the context...?

I think it's just that carting Twilight (whatever state she's in) through town on a cart would just be a little too undignified. A dragon-carrier is much more awesome. Also, Spike wouldn't have it any other way, whatever the context. She used to carry him around - now he can do the same for her.

(and speaking of carriages, I didn't notice the Stealth Pun from the Nightmare Night episode until I read some TVtropes, although I did recognize the similarities. Goes with not having English as a first language, I guess. Princess Luna, a winged unicorn, enters the scene on a funeral carriage pulled by pegasi. In other words, a flying horse on a flying hearse. :P)

Hmm. Apparently there was a new episode released yesterday.

This is the first time since season 2 started that I realized after an episode was released rather than knew and anticipated it in advance. I take that to mean my interest in post-Faust ponies is diminishing.

Downloading now. I like the CMC, and this episode is apparently about them...but after the season 2 disappointments so far, maybe it would be better for me to not expect too much.

It's always better not to expect too much. If you're right, you're less disappointed. If you're wrong, you're very happy to be wrong.

Well, just finished the new episode. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. I never laughed while watching it, but I did smile. They do seem to be generally improving. A few things do stand out as strange about the episode, but probably nothing that others haven't already pointed out.

Meh.

Maybe I'll go watch some Powerpuff Girls.
