And let the debate begin as to what color Vinyl Scratch's eyes really are...seriously lets not do that please. Overall having the glasses seperate from the eyes increased the level of detail in the model you made.

Is it possible for you to show a picture of the Scootaloo one with better lighting so we can see details better?

There's no debate to be had. They're canonically red.

You can see them at the end of the 2nd Season Finale.

Unfortunately the Scootaloo was made for a friend, I just gave it to her today and that picture which I took at 2AM was the only picture I got of her. I can probably get her to take a few pics but it'll take a bit to get them here.

The Pony Gangnam Style just got 20% cooler:

Damnit, watching this video took me on a 4 hour trip around YouTube that ended with me watching a Korean reality TV show about T-Ara. :T

Didn't notice that before in the show. Just checked it out and well hey, hopefully we get to see Vinyl more often without the glasses on next season.

Looks like Xort will be getting a Rarity soon, and I'll have another spare Apple Jack, assuming they're out around here soon. No you can't have this one too, Shen, and sorry for the delay of sending the figures out, but I need Wolfjr to give me his address and also confirm that he wants the Twilight figure as the way he worded it it sounded like he'd only want it if it's different from the Blind Bag ones, and to find packaging still, which is difficult as I don't drive and am fat and lazy so can't walk there.

All I can say is, though, that I am going to carry that Hoity Toity around with me everywhere, like I do with Pinkie and Dashie.

Also, this might make y'all laugh. It's a forlulz shipping generator. Someone on ponychan /g/ posted it, and told people to select all for types, and y'know what, to hell with it, quoting message as I am lazy.

2 select all on 'types' and 'age and genders"

HARD MODE: make a story on how it happened using 50 words or less

One of my responses was this:

I wrote a... let's call it a story, where Pinkie breaks the time space continuum, goes back in time, becomes her own grandmother with Chancellor Puddinghead, and tells herself to giggle at the ghosties. That's actually almost word for word it. And, being Pinkie and all, I would honestly not be surprised.

And this cracked me up to the point I pulled a Mr. Bison:

I went to Toys R Us the other day and they had no pony stuff. I was really disappointed, I wanted figurines. :(

Yeah, errywhere I go there is an overstock of Twilight Sparkle and Rarity and Pink Celestia’s. My theory is that, of course, Applejack is so popular they cannot keep her on the shelves.

Logic.

Oh my god that reminds me. I was with my mother and sister, Zero Flare, in Glasgow last week. We went into Forbidden Planet, and ended up talking about ponies. This guy, he must have been like, 16/17, heard up and unzipped his jacket, hoping we would notice his Twilight Sparkle shirt. Then he followed us around the store muttering to himself about Applejack.

Strange but kind of cute. XD

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

From the other site:

What do you think of discords motives, we know he LOVES chaos, but does he love torturing other ponies or is this just apart of his chaos?

Chaos isn't always a bad thing. Discord COULD have been a good guy. However...

  • The character is truly heinous by the standards of the story, which makes no attempt to present the character in any positive way.
  • The character's terribleness is played seriously at all times, evoking fear, revulsion and hatred from the other characters in the story.
  • They are completely devoid of altruistic qualities. They show no regret for their crimes.

This is taken from the Complete Monster trope. He mentally tortured the first 5 to the point of having them go bad, made Twilight watch it happen causing her to go into despair and depression AND enjoyed every single moment of it!

He's a monster not just in looks or in chaoticness but in the way he acts! He breaks ponies and enjoys every second of it! That's not simply chaos, that's evil!

Discord is the ‘antagonist’, which simply means he is a force arranged against the ‘protagonist’ in order to create a conflict., and the protagonist is simply the central character of the story. Now the term “protagonist†is the preferred term because “hero†is not only bias but also its down right ambiguous.

Discord serves as a vehicle that brings out Twilight’s faults. He tests to what extent, exactly, does Twilight hold up her system of beliefs. For a time, Twilight only saw the Elements of Harmony as a dues ex machina rather than symbols of a power she already possessed. Had this fault festered, it could in fact be deemed detrimental to Twilight's well being.

Now if you touch a hot stove and it burns you...are you going to wake up the next day and touch it again? Moreover, is the stove evil because of your previous ignorance? No. Your the one who walked into the kitchen . And that's how equestria was made.

First, allow me to say that I love anything portraying Discord as something other than a complete evil monster. As a character, there's a lot of things we don't know that can make him quite sympathetic, and in the right hands a downright good guy who just got the short end of the stick. But...

This does not make him a good guy, nor does it redeem his actions or the motives we were given for them. Yes, what he did arguably made Twilight and her friends stronger as well as potentially avoiding an even bigger catastrophe further down the road, but that happens plenty of times in fiction due to the actions of completely evil douchebags. TV Tropes calls that "Nice Job Fixing it, Villain."

His motives were in no way altruistic. As Xidphel's quotes pointed out, everything he did was out of his own selfish desire and served no other purpose than for him to be entertained at the suffering of others. Given what we know from the show, Discord is not a good guy in any way. He is evil.

Now if you touch a hot stove and it burns you...are you going to wake up the next day and touch it again? Moreover, is the stove evil because of your previous ignorance? No. Your the one who walked into the kitchen . And that's how equestria was made.

The stove was just doing what it does. The same can possibly be argued in the case of Discord, as he is the very physical embodiment of chaos and thus that is what he does, but Pinkie is a perfect example of how chaos can be mostly harmless. Discord is not a machine that always has to follow certain rules. He is a sentient being who chose to be evil. The stove in your example is given no such choice. It simply exists in a certain state and someone stupidly disturbs it. Your analogy more accurately fits the Ursa Minor, as the information we have on it is that it's essentially just a cranky baby with super strength. Not a sentient god who tortures people for fun.

Quite the fatherly figure it would seem.

It seems you're trying to argue fanon against canon. It doesn't work like that. I already said I love the fanon that makes Discord sympathetic, and sometimes even enjoy shit that makes him the good guy and Celestia the bad one. But fanon =/= canon, no matter how much you want it to. Screwball is most likely just a normal pony who got really fucked up by Discord's chaos, not some pony for him to be a father figure to.
