Would you watch another show with friendship is magic actor
Ixrec replied to ranul's topic in Pony Free Posts
Casting has almost never been a factor in whether I try a show or not. IME most shows are pretty good about casting (voice) actors that fit their characters, even otherwise mediocre shows, and the real question is always how good the plot and characters are. -
Of course, the only true way to solve this is to force both sides to become friends, by pointing out how much they have in common. Namely, that ponied-up EqG girls are basically a kind of catgirl:

If all conceivable alicorns are up for grabs, I'd better throw in my favorite non-standard alicorn: Pinkie Pie the Princess of Chaos The clearest shot of her from MLP:FiM issue #57. Unfortunately she never got a proper hi-rez splash page in that story, so here's a fanart too:

I'm having difficulty finding bronies who liked this movie
Ixrec replied to WanderPony's topic in The 2017 MLP Movie
The movie is an interesting subject because while I enjoyed it, and I think it has many good parts (especially the songs!), I also think it's one of the weakest parts of FiM overall, falling into many of the same traps as the weaker "adventure" stories in the main show. I certainly don't hate it, but there's a lot of missed potential there (especially with Twilight's character arc), so disappointed is probably the right word. In practice I value it primarily for the songs and all the new world-building which later FiM seasons and comics got to flesh out more. That's also pretty much exactly how I feel about the Star Wars prequels: Fun the first time, so many good ideas, had the potential to be so much greater than it was. Of course there's nothing wrong with liking it more than I did. This sort of thing is insanely subjective anyway, and even in my opinion not a single element of the movie was bad. -
Assuming we mean songs in the actual shows, no fan songs, no remixes, no album-only stuff, no items, Fox only, Final Destination, then mine is a tie between The Smile Song and Rainbow: Although those seem to be pretty standard picks, so bonus round: My favorite Equestria Girls song is a tie between Let It Rain and Shine Like Rainbows:

It's one of my all-time favorites. I was especially overjoyed that Adora/Catra became canon in the finale. I've since been told I should've expected that of Stevenson, but I'm so used to that sort of thing never ever getting to be more than subtext in any other fiction.

I instantly feel more relaxed just looking at this. (Source) (if you don't get the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_Rises)

As much as I love the Mane 6, I do think after nine seasons we've done just about all that can be done with them as main characters. Even in the last few seasons, the best episodes were often about secondary characters. I'd love for G5 to be literally the next in-universe generation of ponies so Future G4 Mane 6 can be in the G5 supporting cast, rather than a complete continuity reboot, but we definitely need new main characters.

IT. IS. ON. Best ponies aside... I'll assume we mostly want to list non-pony music here, especially since I've answered the pony music question elsewhere (although about half of this is in Japanese): A-ONE - Uncover the Universe Ai Otsuka - ユメクイ (Yumekui) Angels & Airwaves - Valkyrie Missile Avril Lavigne - Things I'll Never Say Ayumi Hamasaki - Boys & Girls BABYMETAL - Megitsune Death Cab for Cutie - Everything's a Ceiling (though the starter song is definitely Soul Meets Body) Dixie Chicks - The Long Way Around Eagles - Peaceful Easy Feeling East New Sound - Your Color Judy Collins - Both Sides Now Kalafina - Red Moon Madonna - Dear Jessie MOSAIC.WAV - 悠久想春歌 (Yuukyuu Soushungi) Odyssey Eurobeat - Leave Me in the Dark Queen - Don't Stop Me Now Sara McLachlan - Possession Taylor Swift - Paper Rings Utada Hikaru - Letters Yellowcard - View From Heaven That seems like enough for one post.

What was the first fan song that you heard and how did you react
Ixrec replied to deathmetalbr0ny's topic in Spotlight's Music
This is a weirdly complicated question in my case. Way back when I was into anime/manga/VNs/etc, I naturally ended up on Touhou for a while, and discovered the Touhou Eurobeat series of albums. My favorite artists within the series have varied, but especially in the earlier albums Odyssey tended to be my clear favorite. Leave Me In The Dark is still my #1 most listened to song of all time, or so my phone claims. Eurobeat in general has remained that one music genre I perhaps irrationally like more than everyone else I know. So technically, the direct answer to this question is that when I looked up Odyssey's non-Touhou work, I found Luna (DREAM Mode). I say "technically" because at this point I had only the vaguest awareness of MLP, and my interest in the song had nothing to do with ponies. In fact, a big reason why I eventually decided to try watching MLP is because Odyssey later did remixes of Luna's Future, In My Head Like A Catchy Song, and Flawless that I absolutely loved, and it felt increasingly weird that I'd listened to these a million times yet knew nothing about the source material (and yes, I'm aware of Discord; somehow that one never did much for me). Which brings us to earlier this year when I finally tried the show (and got weirdly hyped whenever I hit one of the episodes those songs were originally from). Since joining the herd, the first fan song I bumped into completely by accident was The Smile Song: Literal Video Version, which I still find pretty hilarious. Though maybe parodies don't count? Which brings us to yesterday: The first non-parody fan song I heard, and also the first one I looked for on purpose since I'd finished the show, was the classic Lullaby for a Princess since everyone and their pet tortoise insisted this was a must-see. Yes, there was liquid pride. -
Because Rainbow Dash is best pony, and in general on any forum/chat I want to spend time posting on, I want to have an avatar/username that's distinct enough I can at least be easily distinguished from everyone else (including other RD fans, so just RD's awesome face wouldn't cut it). Most of my favorite RD fanart is much closer to wallpaper size than avatar size, but this "Synthwave Rainbow Dash" I've been thinking of getting as a sticker on my laptop seemed like the perfect fit.

My guess is that it would have no special consequence. Twilight and Sunset's human forms don't seem to have any equivalent of the unicorn horns (or unicorn magic) that they lost, and humans don't have any equivalent of the three pony tribes, so I would expect any Equestrian pegasus that went through the portal would simply lose their wings (and pegasus magic). ...until they made enough human friends to pony up and fire friendship lasers Hopefully "reposts" of images from the Rainbow Dash fan club thread that also had Scootaloo are A-OK, because:

The EQD post about eps 3+4 has links that worked just fine for me: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/my-little-pony-pony-life-episode-3-4.html
