So, you like Applejack, huh?


Nope, that's Ceffy. :P

So which one of the Mane Six has the best songs?

My pick is tied between Applejack (Ashleigh Ball has one Hel of a singing voice) and Twilight Sparkle (REBECCA SHOICHET is just really good at getting Tara Strong's voice for Twilight Sparkle right for the songs).

I quite like Rarity's singing voice (Not sure if it is Tabitha), and it works because Rarity is in a great singing group.

I like RD and AJ (Ashleigh Ball DOES have an awesome voice), but they come in second to Pinkie Pie (Sharon Chan-Kent really has an awesome singing voice, but I mostly love her for doing the Smile Song. :p )

Actually, Kazumi Evans does the singing voice for Rarity and Princess Luna.

I am amazed by how well the singers do at matching the voices of their characters to the talking VA's voice of the same character.

Yes, I am pretty sure it was someone else who did the singing voice for Rarity and Luna. She's pretty good.

I made a ponysona before, but he turned into another character, but still retains some of my traits. I made him a character in my NS RPs. He's not me, but he is the sort of person (or Pony) that I would like to become.

If it's Regal Stallion I'm gonna imagine myself hitting you.

What? He's not supposed to be me, I wanted him to be different.
And hitting is not very friendship, is it? :(

Funny story, the word fuck came from a word meaning to hit or strike.


Oh look, Derpy!

Why do people keep wanting a spin-off of MLP:FiM with a predominantly male cast? I mean, one of the things that made MLP:FiM special, the one thing that actually drew people to the show in the first place was how well written it was with a predominantly female cast. I mean before MLP:FiM, shows for little girls were...well...let's be honest, vomit inducing. It was about as saccharine and gooey as you can get without wanting to commit Seppuku.

Lauren Faust saw the trend and saw how the show for girls weren't really addressing the real issues that girls face, while the show for boys were well...badass and they were addressing the issues that boys were facing. So Lauren Faust set forth to change that. She laid down the foundation for a show that'd not only address the issues that both boys and girls face, but it also included some badass fight scenes, relatable characters, and character dynamics that well...let's be honest, very well written. The ponies have their faults, they have their weaknesses, but that's why we love them so much. They weren't some flawless porcelain things that sat on the shelf waiting for Prince Charming. Kind of why I loved A Canterlot Wedding, where Cadance rescues Shining Armor instead of the other way around.

With all of that in mind, what on the gods' green earth could having a predominantly male cast add to an already awesome show?

We need a new thread (and thread title), and there aren't any ponyist mods about. Somebody suggest a title that fits MLP Canon or you'll get "MLP: Memorial Glue Factory And Petting Zoo".

Just sayin'.

I don't know maybe because there's never been a cartoon horse show aimed at boys with a stallion cast? I love most of male characters on the show, I'd like to see a little bit more of them, that's all. Nothing is wrong with having female main characters, because I like them too.

I like characters like Big Mac and Shining Armor, therefore, I want to see more of them. Yes, I do like the strong females in the show, but I also like the great guy ponies, even if they get a small amount of screen time.
