customanon: @darklycute no go that entire weekend actually. :/ it's going to be a bit before I figure out my schedule after classes start on the 29th. glad to hear you'll be at Ohayocon- I'm not really sure what I'd be doing with a panel yet but I'd be more than happy to collaborate with you on that front. I have two friends who are willing to assist, just have to put together some content.

customanon: Roommate assignment change... I thought it couldn't get worse than a clingy weeaboo brony who spammed my facebook account with clopfic. I got a girl named 'Hedy' whose interests are jersey shore and weight lifting. :\

customanon: @ceruleanspark The UK doesn't have much pony yet. I don't like the blind bags because they're kind of tiny and dinky, and the pinkie pie is ugly. I prefer brushables. But if you're in the UK, you might have a rough time finding anything-- Also I'm very glad you understand my pain on the criticism and conflict.

customanon: @abigpony There isn't a much better place for a customizer like me, brony-side at least. THe roommate thing, however, is sheer luck as it was random assignment, and I'm already dreading it.

customanon: @ceruleanspark in the US? Surprisingly I adore Lily Blossom a lot. Cheerilee is also pretty, then Rainbow Dash if you can find one, or Pinkie... The twilight/Starbeam Twinkle Target set is VERY cute. That's my suggestion.

customanon: If I get told "Friendship is magic" or "You're my very best friend" by one more brony I'm going to flip out. I don't know you, I don't have to like you. Love and tolerance all the time makes for a dolety fandom.

customanon: @leonkfox when I joined the MLP fandom a million years ago, I was 12 and went by the G1 baby pony 'Ember'. Now I'm all old and stuff and feel like I should probably have a pony with a cutie mark by now. I'm just not sure I have earned one yet! :P

customanon: @leonkfox (I fell asleep, finally) I wasn't trying to say that it was a GOOD plan, I was just saying that I really think that G1 went for more of a pokemon-esque gotta catch them all v. a personal approach like Faust has done. However I would have to say that G1 does have a bit more personality to the toys than G4 does standard, because while they did recolors there were also a lot of gimmick lines (so softs, twinkle eyes, etc) and ponies were in different poses. We have rearing, sitting, etc- something hasbro has failed thusfar to deliver in the G4 line. Of course, G1 started the first year with six ponies and one pose- lets hope it comes in due time

customanon: @leonkfox I don't know, previous to Best Wishes Pokemon didn't have tons of personality- aside from Meowth, Pikachu, and the handful of character pokemon like Pikachu, Charizard, Lapras- Comparatively, there are hundreds of other pokemon that barely got any spotlight. The ponies that got spotlight usually had some kind of minute personality (Gingerbread loves baking! Twilight loves books! Ember wants her cutie mark! essentially) and a backstory on their card when you bought them. I'm not saying that it was the best approach because it wasn't. but the toy line wasn't created alongside the cartoon, the cartoon started afterwards after some ponies had been made and the model of recolor + new pose = new pony. I just think it was a different marketing technique versus a failure to write personality into characters. Also if there are many bland characters instead of distinct ones, it's easier to replace them

customanon: @leonkfox Yeah, I think there was a distinctively different approach to G1 than G4. They were sold as a group, not as a personality. The ponies were rather indistinct and there was a bigger focus on the people in ponyland vs. individual ponies which probably makes for a better business model. Instead of saying "I want those 6 ponies I know well" girls might say "I want a horde of ponies like Megan!"- it's almost pokemon-like, in that the show offers little details about each pokemon and focuses more on the interaction with a lot of pokemon, so you want them all. Not that it makes for a better cartoon, of course.

customanon: @leonkfox I see your quote and still assert the facts that most of the main characters have basis in characters in the G1 show. I think Faust's assertion was based mostly on more stereotypical cartoons, but I'm not her and I would have no definitive say in this, just that the similarities between the personalities in the G1 cartoon and G4 align.

customanon: @ahipsterpony It depends. There is a fine line between toleration and coddling as I've seen in some fandoms. Which is actually totally unrelated. I hate blatant trolling and rudeness as much as I hate having to tip-toe around hurt feelings. There was a guy on a MLP forum awhile ago who complained about how his mother wouldn't let him wear his hot pink pinkie pie miniskirt to high school because she thought it would get him picked/ called gay. People coddled him and said "No way, you won't be thought of as gay if you do that!" -- what I wanted to say was "You'll get your face beat in, shut up and man up." --this was the same guy that wore a wetsuit to a mlp meetup though...

customanon: @leonkfox Lauren Faust based the main six ponies off the G1 characters and the personalities they had. Firefly (Dash) was a dare-devil, Surprise (Pinkie) was a little wacky, etc. Faust watched and played with ponies as a girl, but she didn't like the concept behind most modern-day girls shows. (let's get dressed up and have a tea party) type thing.
