Well, they're dressing as pre-existing pop culture characters, so it IS cosplay.
Exactly. I feel even better now.

I looked for my little pony live on youtube, and the previous suits looked very similar to what they used at the Calgary Stampede. It still had the body just hanging off of a person in the front of the suit. The faces matched the actual cartoon design (it was a previous gen) much better than the FiM costumes did, though.

If they're going to do live stuff, and they obviously will, they should definitely go with suit designs that actually match the show. That performance would've been much better if they had copied the facial work from the Dashsuit, instead of creating some new horrifying face that doesn't match anything.

The only other option I see for live shows is using puppets, but Hasbro seems pretty gung-ho on putting people in suits.

if hatsune miku has taught me anything it should be holograms

2d or bust

You don't think I agree with that? =P

Again, I was only speaking hypothetically, between the two, the fursuit is the lesser of two evils. I know everyone's willing to jump on the furry hating bandwagon, but I just can't get mad at a couple of fur suits that actually have a decent effort put into them for what they are compared to a total lack of care the Hasbro "suits" have.

Words cannot describe how much I like this picture (and how much other bambus-eating creature must be jealous :p)

One of my (not uploaded) sketches had a similar situation, but Bak was sleeping on those.
I will probably upload them, when my scanner is installed again.

Finally got some clarification on this:

[02:27] <AdawgDaFAB> Carek, did we confirm or deny Bak pony as Belle's cousin?
[02:27] <Csims> she's forever alone
[02:27] <Csims> her sad lot in life

all fursuits i've seen have been terrible. I think there are possibilities with the skin tight colored suits though.

What? No! Ponies don't have human figures.

That's fantastic, Panda. That tablet really brought a revolution to your art skill progression!

I hope I can gather the time to finished my unconcluded pieces soon.

I love group shots, so here's one some awesome fan artist did. Everypony's blushing!

It's pretty simple to not get banned. Talk to everyone as if you were speaking to them face to face in real life. This is of course assuming you are not someone the news likes to interview on a regular basis to drive up their ratings. Oh, and don't post links to websites that are banned.
Works for me for the most part, but NeoGAF is a little more strict about the fanart I like to show people :p

It's Luna. With socks.

What do you think of it?
I think I'll make it my source of faux outrage for the thread. Human ponies, fanfic, and uchip avatars? They've got nothing on ponies wearing socks. It's just unnatural.

They can wear socks but not Horse Shoes? it's truly maddening! Soon we'll have Human ponies writing fanfics while wearing socks and posted by uchip, this topic will crumble to ruin on that day.

The tracks they leave are those of horseshoes, but they don't appear on their hooves.

I'm following about a dozen different incomplete stories right now and I've enjoyed quite a few complete ones. My favorite is still the one I posted about in the previous thread, The Pony Psychology Series, but there have been so many other newer ones out there that are totally worth spending some late nights (and early mornings) reading.

I'm not a big fan of reading about OC ponies (I'd rather explore alternate takes on the characters I already know and love), but I'll definitely give your suggestion a try now, Aero. :)
Thank you so much for linking to this. I just finished reading all the parts and really enjoyed it, now it might be my favourite too. I did start to get wary when shipping came into it (In the Rainbow Dash chapter, Fluttershy seemed particularly out of character to me) but in the end it all seemed to add to the story instead of being just fan service. There's some really good development for the characters and after I got into it I couldn't stop reading to see how it all ended.
The ending was incredibly well done too. Some of the plots seemed to be just forgotten about (Rarity's problem didn't really get the same attention the other ones did) but the Twilight chapter brought them all together and I loved the ending where she visits them all.

I've actually never read any fanfics of anything before, but I have checked out a few of the pony ones. One I really liked was Ponies Play D&D, which is basically just what it says on the tin: turns out Twilight and Spike were quite the D&D players back in Canterlot and have now gotten the rest of the mane 6 and the CMC to play too. I've never played proper pen and paper D&D myself, but I still got more than a few chuckles from it; the author has really nailed each characters' personality and what sort of character they would play in an RPG. It's not a very long series either, so no big time investment needed. I'm sure it won't be to everyone's taste, but I enjoyed it at least.

EDIT: Linky!
Thanks for linking to this too. I haven't had a chance to have a look at it yet, but I'm a sucker for those side stories you sometimes see in TV shows where the characters play a game like D&D and you see the adventure they go on, so this seems right up my alley.

[02:27] <AdawgDaFAB> That's what I thought. You are her only family right?
[02:28] <Firehead> Eh... she uses GAF to socialise
[02:28] <Csims> yes thats the funny part
[02:28] <Csims> gaf is her family

So he isn't REALLY her cousin, it's just that PonyGAFers in general are like family for her.

Also:
Every pic of Belle interacting with others is all in her head, as she talks to them online! - WHAT A TWIST!

Aaawww Belle being forever alone makes me sad. She needs a hug or something.

Recently while looking through episodes I thought to myself "where was that part where Twilight drinks the hot sauce AGAIN? Hm.


Oh right. It was in that fan fic. That thing almost became canon to me D:

Since we're on the topic of fanfiction, here is one of my favorite stories. Titled Simply Rarity, it offers an origin story for Rarity and how she came to represent the element of generosity. Though it does get slightly contrived at some points, the author ties it in with the canon in a way that makes it believable, and he captures Rarity's personality well. Warning: It is a very sad story. One of the story tags is "Happy Ending," but that is a lie. It's a strong ending, maybe even bittersweet. But it is not happy.

There's a picture of Celestia on the right Luna's socks...

Yeah I noticed that when I saw it and loved it. Sorry, I wasn't really directing the post at you but talking about the picture in general. She's not wearing all four socks on the right, smaller picture, but on the left, faded, bigger one she has four socks.

I didn't make that story. It was a joint effort by everyone in the chat earlier that day (This was done weeks ago). I was simply recapping it for someone who wasn't there at the moment and it was easy to take the screen cap of the recap instead of the formation of the story.
