Friendship is Magic (current FFR Pony avatar count: >9000) - Page 50

Honestly after seeing so many fan creations of Derpy, it's a little weird seeing her in a real episode. And I kind of preferred the fans' rendition of her as carefree and innocent rather than bumbling and retarded. I also like the cute voice created by the fans.

Example:

The raspy voice just sounds weird, like they threw this assignment at the voice actor for Rainbow Dash 10 minutes before the reading. But it's just off-putting because it's new. I'll have to wait for it to grow on me.

Chaz, I agree. I always liked the stuff BaldDumboRat did. Is it possible the voice in this ep is a placeholder voice maybe?? They should get BaldDumboRat to speak for official Derpy.

**megamon88** · 01-21-2012, 11:05 PM

I doubt Derpy is going to have many lines in future episodes. I'd be kind of annoyed if she was in every episode.

**All_That_Chaz** · 01-22-2012, 03:42 AM

Well that didn't take long:

Crashfan3 · 01-22-2012, 04:33 AM

Excellent episode! Learned a few things that should patch some holes in the fic I've been writing ^^

**UserNameGoesHere** · 01-22-2012, 04:58 AM

Seriously if they have Derpy with any significant lines in the future, they really should consider hiring on BaldDumboRat as the voice actress.

And I agree Derpy should be used sparingly in the actual show -- she should be more of an Easter Egg and/or "Where's Waldo?" than anything else. For anyone who is familiar with Homestarrunner, Derpy should be used like Homsar was used there -- a sort of running gag Easter Egg.

I'm ok with this derpy. Fanon derpy is pretty awesome and heartwarming, but this bumbling semi-retarded derpy still has potential for physical comedy as a recurring cameo character in a kids show.

**megamon88** · 01-28-2012, 01:58 PM

Bahahaha, this episode was really funny. The song was a bit too long imo, but other than that it was another solid episode. Can't wait for next week's episode (READING RAINBOWWW)

ps all the ponies are alcoholics

More like the power of having more people. As megamon said, the song went on for quite a while and I don't even know what musical it was parodying. Also, I've been waiting for a "Dear Princess Celestia, today I didn't learn dick" episode forever, so I'm pretty pleased with this.

**megamon88** · 01-28-2012, 04:01 PM

I was thinking a long version of monorail from the Simpsons, with the ponies chanting and stuff.

**All_That_Chaz** · 01-28-2012, 04:25 PM

Yeah the "Dear Princess Celestia" bit at the end got me laughing too.

Excellent episode, but my only question is what in the world the internet will do with this:

**All_That_Chaz** · 01-30-2012, 12:45 AM

I read "My Little Dashie" for the first time last night. I found it to be very poorly written and riddled with errors. Sure it was pretty sentimental but it sounded like it was written by a 9th grader who's getting a C in English.

Crashfan3 · 01-30-2012, 01:45 AM

Hmm... fanfics aren't meant to be read from the eyes of a professor. A lot of them are written by 9th graders getting C's in English! Still... some are very good...
My Little Dashie was not among my top favorites but I did enjoy it.

**All_That_Chaz** · 01-30-2012, 02:20 AM

Well with how popular it's become I guess I expected a lot from it. I don't ever read fanfiction.

**megamon88** · 01-30-2012, 06:06 AM

Apparently "It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door" is a really good one. I haven't read it yet though.

I've read a couple others though, some of them were well written while others not so much. Progress was pretty good iirc, and allegrezza, while not the best written, was still very enjoyable to me.

Crashfan3 · 01-30-2012, 11:21 AM

I'll have to read that one.
One of my favorites was Estrella Noctis, but sadly it was never finished and I think it's been taken down.

next poster gets #1000 ;o
