It's fun to post cute pictures of her here at the very least, but yeah, I was going ham in the last thread or some talking about Ponka with another anon, was super nice. People are open to chatting here if you ask about, and I think the discussion you get here tends to be very specifically from very big Ponk enjoyers who have a very high level of affection and emotional attachment to the character. However, sometimes the chaos of just having general /mlp/ types around to chat about her is super fun, too. I love both personally.

discussion can happen over the span of multiple weeks on this board. having a dedicated thread for it (even if it's just dead bumps 90% of the time) helps ensure that, if someone makes an effort post, it isn't slid off the board in hours and then archived. just take a look at all of the discussion in the previous threads and imagine each post as their own 5 reply archived thread. having the general helps for visibility. after all my years on this website, I never thought I'd make a post defending generals, but here I am.

NTA but nothing stops you from replying to an archived post
I do think that filling the thread with empty image reposts does more to discourage conversation than having the thread actually fall off does, honestly. You can just make a post bringing something up to give more visibility to something that was slid off, after all, whereas it feels more out of place to try and do that for something which is in the same thread but just hidden by 20 image posts.
>>
>>43511865
I see your perspective, but, at the very least, I suppose there isn't any major harm in having both formats? We can have new, specific topic threads when the occasion for discussion arises, while still having a general in the background where discussion can happen incidentally.

I'm not saying you shouldn't bump the thread if that's what you think is best, just saying why I don't think that not bumping has a negative impact
The most real answer is that we all SHOULD bump with new and high effort contributions that stand on their own such that dedicated bumping isn't necessary, but obviously we don't have infinite time and effort to spare for that or we'd be doing so already

A little bit of all the nice things about Pinkie wrapped up neatly in this "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone"
Her creative expression through baking at the start of the episode? check
Her positivity keeping morale high during an arduous task (the mountainous trek up to griffonstone)? check (I think Pinkie's demeanor in the face of Gilda's harshness towards her is also evidence of this; it's not easy being yelled at in every interaction with a person)
I also liked her [seemingly deliberately] spending all her money on the train on candy so that she can make Rainbow Dash pay for everything on the trip (trolled)
When they first meet Gilda and there's obvious tension between her and Dash, Pinkie immediately tries to defuse the situation by shouting "Pinkie!". This is isn't evidence her not taking arguments/disagreements seriously (she knows the history between these two), but of her preference that things not come to blows and instead remain peaceful. Laughter is a disarming tactic, after all.
A bit later, Pinkie picks-up on the implication that Gilda is putting up an abrasive facade being indifferent to the idol. Emotional intelligence and being able to read others' feelings? check

I think it's a unique role that Pinkie fulfills in this episode. The rest of the 6 aren't around to drive the plot forward and take things seriously, so that task falls pretty much squarely on Pinkie (since Dash is more invested in heroics). This tells us what [should] we already know about Pinkie: she is intelligent and mature enough to handle different situations. However, her friends are just as capable themselves (mostly), so, when others are around, Pinkie prefers to step back from the "time to be serious and work to solve this problem" and inject some laughter into the situation. Put another way, if Pinkie is the last pony standing, or the only pony present who can solve the problem, then she knows to shelf the wacky randomness for a bit and get serious until everything is clear (or until someone else who can solve the problem shows up, so that the mantle of responsibility doesn't rest on her exclusively)

Also, Pinkie was crazy for this line
>"Rainbow Dash, I just took out a life insurance policy on you before we left! I'm gonna throw this rope down as evidence that I tried to save you then tell everypony back home that things went down differently here! Nice knowing you!"
Of course it's Pinkie 5d chess that it was her plan all along to get Gilda to help so that she and Dash could reconcile, but this headcannon is funnier. Maybe Pinkamena smelled a bit of blood in the water while Dash was stranded and, subconsciously, forced Pinkie to fuck up the rescue by throwing the entire rope.
Anyway, besides this contrivance in the ravine, great Pinkie writing.

Oh dude I've always been a massive fucking troll and Pinkie is exactly on my same giggly carefree wavelength. It's never about being actually mad and trying to one-up someone, it's about being a stupid fun-loving free-spirit and just not caring about the social rulebook of a community you're in. I end up ragebaiting people just by being kind to them because it's "faggoty" in the eyes of some and my unphased friendly reaction has only made them even more irked - it's the most Ponk shit ever. Pinkie has the whole court jester routine figured out perfectly and is a fantastic role model for fucking with others in a fun, positive way while not being cruel and arguably even serving to teach others gentle lessons about how being mean isn't the most effective way to be taken seriously.

>I think there are times I do bait people who aren't trying to get baited
This is a constant for me. Just be yourself and never show any shame and you're going to have haters show up at your door, and omfg it's a riot whenever they do. Early 2010's style trolling feels dead nowadays with how seriously everyone takes everything, but because of that, a troll that acts like someone from that era is just having an endless feast of lulz. This is legitimately one of the greatest times ever to be a lulzy oldschool troll with how grim and aggressive so many are these days, and I am dumbfounded at how more people haven't joined in on it - probably because they're all taking it all kinda seriously too.

I sometimes have mixed feelings, is all. Like there are times where I'll say something that could get misinterpreted and sometimes I'm even unintentionally in the wrong, and then I'll play along and avoid addressing the misunderstanding without ever actually contradicting myself or failing to argue in good faith afterwards. And usually that feels great, like, the guy is getting mad over nothing and if he stepped back he'd see that. But like I do want him to either lighten up and only argue for fun (at which point plowing ahead is great) or to realize his mistake. Like, how can I put this, it feels like I'm bullying someone who doesn't know how to make it stop? People who are too overly serious are fine because it's clear they're fronting from the word go, so it's not like they're getting harmed in any way that they aren't deliberately bringing about - this is essentially the same as people choosing to take offense, it's their personal decision. But there's a sweet spot where it's unclear if the guy is just - I don't want to say too dumb to get it, but like a proper internet sperg who lack critical self awareness - and I feel like I should drop the kayefabe because I'm extending something that isn't going to go anywhere but which I don't know if the other person knows is possible to stop replying to. That's the big one; I don't know if they know they can stop replying, and I don't know if they're ever going to figure it out, especially if I don't do anything to help them. I usually just stop that chain of argument quietly. Fortunately those types are the sort that generally try to argue on merits so they don't tend to engage in identityfaggotry.

Pinkie would definitely have a photoshop of a dick in Maud's mouth as her screensaver.

a couple typos that got past me:
>This is isn't evidence her not taking arguments/disagreements seriously (she knows the history between these two), but of her preference that things not come to blows and instead remain peaceful
>This *isn't evidence of her not taking arguments seriously.
I meant to say that Pinkie respects both parties' concerns in a disagreement, but she doesn't like the genuine anger/combativeness that can manifest during an argument. I know this seems to contradict last thread's discussion about Pinkie loving to argue, but, as the other anons have put it, intentionality is the key divider here. Pinkie would prefer lighthearted, perhaps even well-intentioned, trolling whose intention is to get under the skin rather than to seriously decimate the recipient. Pinkie enjoys arguments insofar as they are kept with the realm of harmony, and she'll use laughter and humor to pacify or "soften-up" disagreeing parties when they err from this standard of acceptability. She'll also use song as a method for this purpose, but that didn't go so well between the buffalo and appleoosians

>This tells us what [should] we already know about Pinkie: she is intelligent and mature enough to handle different situations
>This tells us what we *[should] already know about Pinkie
I meant to say that this aspect of Pinkie's character was very obvious to me throughout this episode given the framework that I'm interpreting from: Pinkie is smarter than she lets on, but prefers fun and humor wherever she can interject them (i.e. a "wise fool"). If any anon here has even been the "funny man" of their respective social circle, you quickly realize that there is a fine line between delivering genuinely thoughtful and hilarious jokes/commentary versus being a mindless court jester (quality vs quantity). Pinkie can be both at times (whether the situation calls for it or not) and I think that, at the very least, speaks somewhat to the kind of intellect that she's working with.

Well this episode was pretty ridiculous. I get the feeling that the writing staff kind of relished when they got to make a Pinkie episode because it gave them the opportunity to go off-the-wall with silliness that would otherwise be out of place. My other evidence for this was in "Pinkie Pride" when they got to do a little 4th wall break with the Gummy dance showing a real-life alligator. Anyway, nothing really to complain about with Pinkie's writing here. I'm waiting to come across the drop-off in quality that I was warned about with the later seasons, but I'm not really witnessing it. Pinkie seems as silly as she's always been, which I maintain is an integral part of her character. Sure, not all of her bits are comedy gold, but, in a similar vein to this episode's lesson, the important highlight is that Pinkie is a dedicated pony who is always trying to make others happy. Even if she doesn't always hit the mark, her intent (getting you to smile) is what's touching about her character, and this is true whether or not the writers need to give her a secret subterranean party-planning cave.

An aspect of this episode the stuck-out to me was Pinkie immediately connecting with Cherry Jubilee when her train is delayed. A callback to a S2 episode (maybe her cherrychanga/chimicherry idea was a success) was nice to see since it helps flesh-out the world a bit more. What's important here is that, even though it was never shown to the audience, Pinkie has other relationships throughout Equestria, apparently. This is also expanded in the next episode where it's revealed that Pinkie is also good friends with one of Twilight's friends from Canterlot as well as Lyra. In hindsight, it's obvious that Pinkie would be a popular friend, but it's nice to see it confirmed. It reminds me of the only aspect of "Pinkie Pride" that I liked:
>>43462993
>it was a nice detail that Pinkie's positivity, manifested in her parties, can have consequential lasting contributions to other ponies' lives
It's nice to see that Pinkie's dedication to making others happy is acknowledged and reciprocated by others around her, so much so that we're seeing examples of her friendly relationships with other ponies across the kingdom. Presumably, Pinkie probably through each of these ponies a special party at some point, and now we're seeing the realistic consequence that Pinkie is popular and beloved.

At certain times, it seemed that Pinkie had a complex about not being taken seriously/respected by others around her (e.g. babysitting for the cakes or protecting their dessert on the train), but it seems that this isn't extended to Pinkie's main calling as a party-planner. Everyone knows her for her parties and that's the display of devotion that they love/respect her for. This is explicitly shown in the very sweet moment of validation that she receives from her closest friends when they find her party cave and see all of the effort that she puts into making others happy. I guess that her mistake is that, when she steps outside of her expertise into an area that she's not well-versed in (like babysitting), she expects the same level of respect from the get-go.

If Pinkie were to be embodied by an RPG stat, hers would be charisma. I liked that, when she encounters the angry snow lion right outside of yakistan, she just talks to it in the normal way she would any other. It reminded me of when she was trying to trick the minotaur with her bugs bunny mixup (the ponies were lucky he turned out to be so reasonable). I've praised her in the past for remaining positive in difficult situations, and others have commented on her bravery, but it certainly has its limits. It's not often that we see genuine dread on Pinkie's face, but this was one of those moments where words wouldn't cut it.

Also, I'm vindicated saying that Pinkie would be the perfect travel companion. She goes across the entire kingdom without the smile leaving her face in spite of the setbacks. A positive morale is a saving grace during a difficult task (just be wary of giant monsters); it's obvious why Twilight put so much trust in her this episode.

Also, this board complains about the zigger problem, but yaks are 20 times worse. Disrespectful, destructive, toxic, ungrateful. If you don't cater to them perfectly, they'll withdraw their "companionship" in a moment's notice and then spitefully swear revenge on your entire bloodline just for slighting them. With yaks, it's on sight with full prejudice.

This is the moment that "Pinkie Pride" needed to be a good episode, in my opinion. Pinkie's friends realize what a dedicated worker that she is and that her parties are specialized to the exact tastes of who the party is for and give her the respect and validation (and loyalty) that she needed. I think she's brought to tears in this moment because it's probably cathartic to finally have somepony acknowledge just how much effort she puts in to make others happy. This secret party cave, in a way, represents the deepest, most intimate part of her (her desire to make others happy) and she's overjoyed that her friends are able to see it and accept her.

To many pinkies wasn't a bad episode, but I wish the ending had more to due with how more emotionally complete the real one is, seeing she's actually upset that she may lose her friends, while the rest are just funbots.

Yeah that episode was pretty high quality. We were discussing it a couple of threads ago (>>43430406). I think there was plenty of emotional payoff towards the end. We follow the real Pinkie throughout the episode and can see evidence that she's more nuanced than the copies. Then we see Pinkie progress from her one-track fixation on maximizing her experiences once it starts putting distance between her and her friends. When she ruins AJ's barn and when Twilight can't recognize her it really sets in that even she herself isn't sure how the situation can be mended and her friends may not ever be able to recognize her again. It's probably the lowest that we'd seen her up to that point (personally, I think she's more sad here than in "party of one" where she's a bit more betrayed and vindictive than purely sorrowful) with her actually being brought to tears at the prospect of losing her friends. It's pretty explicit throughout the episode even if the final wrapup spares us a tear-jerking reunion

>It's not often that we see genuine dread on Pinkie's face, but this was one of those moments where words wouldn't cut it.
I've commented in the past about how I find the "Pinkamena Phenomenon" kind of humorous (the desire to inject morbidity and suffering into an otherwise pristine paradise), but I guess I'm a little guilty of that in this post as well, relishing the frame where Pinkie realizes that shit just got real. If I had to defend my stance, I'd say I was lying if I didn't get a little satisfaction out of seeing the show's morality about niceness and friendliness run up against its logical limit. What can a sweet little tea party for little girls do against an indifferent, homicidal maniac beast? It doesn't care about friendship, harmony, being nice, heck, it can't even understand your words. How do you overcome such an obstacle using the teachings of the show? You can't--you just have to hightail it out of there like Pinkie did.

The reason that it's satisfying to see is because it's finally a situation where you can say "Ok, this is a man's job. Stow the tea parties and group therapy for a moment, sweetheart, it's time to be brave and strong otherwise we're going to get cut into ribbons by a wild animal." It's just kind of nice to see that there would still be somewhat of a necessity for masculine virtues in this world and not just feminine ones centered entirely around cohesion and kindness (as much as I do respect the maintenance of a strong social order). I know that I'm looking in the wrong place if I'm wanting to see male role models in a franchise entitled "My Little Pony," but it was just a little thought of mine.

Just watched "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows". It was a fine episode; it doesn't really develop Pinkie and instead focuses on the antics that ensue when she finds herself having to keep a secret for a day. Not much to comment on but a few moments that stood out.

At the start of the episode, we see her practicing her confectionary skills icing cupcakes. This is the second example this season of Pinkie taking pride in her work, even if we hardly see any screentime for it. This builds evidence for my theory about baking being a creative outlet for Pinkie (aside from the practical intersection between cakes and parties).

Another moment, although brief, Pinkie feels bad for ignoring her friends during her deliveries. In spite of all the jokiness of this episode, there's still evidence of the nuanced Pinkie underneath.

Lastly, even though it's mostly a joke/plot device, a there was a notable detail about how Pinkie undertakes a lot of obligations/favors from ponies around her ("I've being getting liberal with those Pinkie Promises lately"). You could extrapolate this a significant moment for her character and speculate why she takes on so much responsibility (she wants respect from providing utility to others or she wants to serve others to make them smile), but I think it's just the writers are poking fun a bit here (like at the end with her little 4th wall break).

Also, I now understand how Pinkie got on the sex offenders registry

Well obviously frosting, silly.
Frosting will actually get looser with friction since it's just fat and sugar so it will just melt and provide lubrication.
Cake batter however, due to being mainly flour with little oil and egg acting as a binding agent, will provide less friction and best case scenario it will be like jerking it through mud and worse just jerking sticky mud with zero dick to hand contact.
So yeah, just use frosting.

"The Gift of Maud Pie" was another fine episode. The first half (up until Pinkie parts with her party cannon) was a challenge to get through. She's really off the wall without giving the viewer a moment between her outbursts. I'd say this is evidence of flanderisation, but she improves by the latter half of the episode where we see the more thoughtful Pinkie who sacrifices in order to make others happy. I also might say that it was delusional of her to think that giving up her party cannon would make her sister happy and she should know better (but, y'know, we need ponies to be dumb so that there's a plot), but I think you can make an argument as to why it's in character for her. She prides herself on knowing intimate knowledge about everypony close to her and using that knowledge to make celebrations special, so it makes sense that this pride would extend to gift-giving as well.

Maybe Pinkie being so flamboyant here is evidence of a previous theory I had about her deliberately over-acting in order to make it easier for Maud to read her (maybe that's why Rarity was acting a bit manic in this episode too, almost like there were two Pinkies). I can also see her zaniness being thematically relevant here to contrast her normal self against herself sans party cannon (even if her depressive episode only lasts for a moment before she puts on a tough face for Maud).

Nice to see Maud once again acting as a support for Pinkie. I don't know if another character in the show is better at knowing her flaws and dealing with her. Sure, her friends know all about her and can relate better to her life goal of making others happy, but Maud seems to know just how to snap Pinkie back to her senses whenever her excesses get the better of her (like building a giant obstacle course so that everypony gets along or sacrificing too much of your own person in order to please others).

The Pie family is definitely crazy. Maud's fixation on her pet "boulder" eerily mirrors Pinkie's fixation on inanimate objects back in "Party of One" (and maybe even here as well with her party cannon, another inanimate object that, apparently, holds a great deal of personal significance to Pinkie above what I assumed would be a replaceable tool). I could see the necessity with Maud at least, using Boulder as a surrogate advocate for herself and her desires. Maud doesn't have trouble being honest [downright blunt], but maybe she frames some of her decisions/wants as Boulder's decisions/wants if she perceives that they'd be unpopular (i.e. "It's not me that wants to play 'Find the Rock', it's Boulder who wants to" thus shifting the blame from herself)

Pinkie is the most self aware character if you put self awareness on a spectrum from 'i exist in my reality' to 'i understand that my reality isnt the ultimate one'. All of her fourth wall antics imply that she can perceive the boundaries of the show and the existence of observers. She has an intuitive awareness that reality doesn't end at the walls of equestria. And thats what makes her fascinating. If she really has a vague awareness of that, its basically cursed knowledge that could drive someone into pure nihilism or obsessive truth searching. But pinkie responds by continuing to make everypony happy. Whatever reality ultimately is, friendship and making ponies smile still matters. This is why she's best pony

The distinction id make is that pinkies antics seen qualitatively different from interacting with an in universe higher power. She seems to acknowledge the conventions of the show itself.

It's possible that the show exists in universe. Like not as a show but there are multiple framing devices which fit the format
>in the friendship journal, or an animated form of it
>in a divination spell (inc. a potion/artifact) similar to how Twilight watched Nightmare Night
etc.

If a pony in the future was going to scry on Pinkie in the past then past-Pinkie would get an urge to act for the camera since that's the sort of thing that Pinkie Sense does actually cover, and it's easy enough to believe the Twilight or Starlight might be showing somepony the adventures of the mane 6 as part of a friendship lesson.

On a tangent, do you think any of the alicorns have a Pinkie Sense/Maud Sense equivalent? It's actually a reasonable way to explain why they're so lackadaisical about national emergencies since they might have advance knowledge that it's going to work out.

Maybe this is why Pinkie is the funny one. She acts out in an effort to amuse the observers, fearful that, if they aren't sufficiently entertained, that they might 'shut off the program', so to speak. Ironically, Pinkie's constant quips of appeasement had the opposite effect on many of the observers, who would rather that she stop acting so deliberately for the camera.

that I asked earlier.

Funnily enough I feel like pinkie posters tend to have a higher literacy of the show than most groups, but I guess that's because she is the most straightforward friendship character and accepting pinkie mostly means accepting the show's premise.

I love ponk because she is the least judgemental and "serious" out of all the ponies. It's a trait which I wish the world would emulate. So many people are scared to show their true selves because they believe that people will be annoyed, or they may say the wrong thing or do something cringe. Society is so focused on giving judgement and shame and guilt that it results in people acting like skin walkers; shilling what they know is uncontraversial just to fit into a group they probably don't even like just because they feel like it's better than being alone. When you have a world where genuine personality is punished, how do you expect people to have a genuine social connection with one another?

Maybe acceptance is the word I'm thinking of. True acceptance of who ponies are. Even people who she doesn't jive with very well, like Gilda or Cranky Doodle. She always puts her best hoof foward and tries to make their time as pleasant as possible. Albiet, it doesn't always go well, especially in Cranky Doodle's case but I attribute that as a flaw of the writing of that episode.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Pinkie represents a true acceptance of others, flaws and all, as well as the acceptance of herself and her own flaws and talents. She goes to great lengths to out herself out there, even if it runs the risk of ponies not liking her. Some may be annoyed by her antics, but others, like us, rejoice when we see her.

I wish the world wasn't so hell bent on social orthodoxy and norms so that people can live as themselves. I know what it's like to feel like a defective robot that others wish to see us as. Never again.

What songs would you want to show Pinkie if you could bring an Ipod or something with you to Equestria?

I think I found Pinkie's all time favorite song. If you can find it, look up "It's Raining Candy on my Birthday" by The Tizzys (which is a fictional band, like The Archies; the actual artist is Mike Viola.)

The song doesn't seem to be on YouTube. In fact, the only place i've been able to find it at all online is here:

See I don't think I'd bring something that I'd be sure she liked because while it would be nice I also don't really see it having too much of a point, both for her and for me. Pinkie presumably has better access to high quality music especially music tailored to her tastes than I do, being one of the most musical mares in the most musical contexts in a more musical world while also being a party mare. I certainly get the appeal of trying to give a nice gift, I think I'd bring the most experimental stuff that I actually like rather than any of the normal stuff.

Like I wonder how Pinkie would view the heavy drums speedcore stuff or noise tracks. It'd be nice just to get somepony to talk about obscure stuff with if that's how it goes but it does make me wonder if it'd go the mudbriar route (she understands why it appeals to somepony else and can address that, which is kind of boring and would mostly clip the conversation since otherwise I'd just be making her listen to something only for my sake).

But that said I'd definitely go for more instrumental stuff in general. Ponies would be really used to singing so showing her more casual tracks would be interesting and I think she'd like the variety. Easy Listening, Big Band, Prog Rock, that kind of thing.
>It's Raining Candy on my Birthday
Definitely would go over well. I think that pure happy songs are probably Pinkie's second favorite since I think that overcoming things is sort of more her lived experience but she definitely appreciates and would sing a lot of this kind of thing, especially in her actual job as a party pony.

But what are you saving? All you're doing is keeping this particular copy in the catalogue for longer. It takes like twenty seconds to copypaste the details from the previous OP into the thread box. It's not like you're saving discourse because again, you aren't actually talking about ponka and are infact drowning out pink discussion.
>I'm not typing up paragraphs when no paragraphs are on my mind
You don't need to post paragraphs anyway. "What songs would you bring to Ponk" is something which can be answered with a couple words if you don't want to qualify it with analysis at that point. You can always elaborate on the reasoning later if asked.

I actually haven't gotten around to this episode yet, funnily enough! I've heard mixed things on it.

As far as friendship not being the solution to everything, I do think Pinkie's usual bravery is a representation of Laughter. I've always seen her moments of fear as kind of missing the point of her character, funnily enough. Her running away from a threat makes sense, but it doesn't really feel super in character to me if she's genuinely afraid while doing it.

I do actually kind of agree on liking the bits of masculine ideas in FiM. The male characters are always very fun to watch the female cast bounce off of, and it's why I think Spike is kind of underutilized - he's like the stereotype of "what's wrong with boys" and it's very very funny to me, being a guy myself. I don't think just being kind and sweet have to be strictly feminine traits, nor do I think being brave has to be strictly a masculine endeavor, but I do see what you're saying in that a dangerous physical threat leaves room for you to feel like some kind of warrior character could have solved the problem that the cute girly pony was challenged by.

Will check the episode out in a bit. There are some in later seasons I simply haven't gotten around to yet.

I also never looked this episode this way and am excited to rewatch it with this in mind. I thought they were just making Ponk kind of dumb like they liked doing, but the idea that she was working into some larger plan of harmony is cool.

Like I said, Pinkie's RPG stat would definitely be charisma, preferring to talk her way around conflicts and use humor/jokes as a disarming tactic to loosen-up/befriend opponents. We don't see it often, but I think it's a subtle nod to Pinkie's underlying intelligence. How much brainpower does it take to talk your way out of a fight vs just hooking your opponent in the jaw? Pinkie could definitely answer that question.

I think I've also mentioned previously about how much brain power and processing speed it takes to be the "funny man" in a group of friends. You have to be fast to achieve perfect comedic timing and still be able to deliver relevant, crafty follow-ups and jokes. Anyone who's ever filled this role understands that it's much more demanding than https://youtu.be/RD0INBsrfY4. I speak from experience on this, which I why I respect Pinkie's element of harmony so much.

I wonder if this might be the reason why the early seasons often pitted Twilight and Pinkie against each other. We know neither pony is dumb (barring a few select instances), but they represent two different kinds of intelligence. Pinkie is the quick-witted empath and Twilight is the trivia nuke who prefers to plan-out her actions (although Pinkie is no stranger to devious plans, as Gilda came to understand). Pinkie is so free-spirited and worry-free since she's confident that she can charm her way out of any situation. Maybe Twilight resents her a little bit for this carefree approach (growing up as the princess' protege must've been a stressful upbringing, as we can tell by how high-strung Twilight is around Celestia), which is why she toils so much against her in Feeling Pinkie Keen, wanting so desperately to validate her own approach to conflict (careful planning and logic) over Pinkie's.

The secret party cave >>43521898 might've been a bit of missed opportunity not to have a reconciliation moment between Twilight and Pinkie here, with Twilight realizing that Pinkie may not be so different from her, given how much she plans and seems to stress over planning the perfect party in this episode.

> So many people are scared to show their true selves because they believe that people will be annoyed, or they may say the wrong thing or do something cringe. Society is so focused on giving judgement and shame and guilt that it results in people acting like skin walkers; shilling what they know is uncontraversial just to fit into a group they probably don't even like just because they feel like it's better than being alone.
Agreed. This was the main takeaway from this episode. I'll just let ponk speak for herself on the matter: https://youtu.be/PAAfddIfbRk?t=630 and act as a great juxtaposition to Rarity who prefers conformity and social vanity over authenticity (tbf though, Rarity does authentically prefer Canterlot culture, rather than cynically wearing it as a veil for conformity).

>She always puts her best hoof foward and tries to make their time as pleasant as possible. Albiet, it doesn't always go well, especially in Cranky Doodle's case but I attribute that as a flaw of the writing of that episode.
This is one of the things that I respect most about Ponk--her initiative. She's a risk-taker, a go-getter. It takes courage to put yourself out there and try to get people to laugh. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and observe, but it's tough to jump into a conversation and contribute like Ponk does. Jokes don't always land, but she doesn't let that phase her determination and she'll just try again for the next joke.

I write a lot about how I think Pinkie is working with a pretty decent intellect under the hood, but her tenacity in this regard throws me for a bit of a loop. High intelligence is a trait that correlates with self-consciousness (see: Twilight), but Pinkie hardly seems to show this kind of weakness at all. I'm sure every one of us has delivered a stinker of a joke at some point and it sticks in our head for the rest of the day while we kick ourself over it, but I don't see this as something that Pinkie would suffer from. Is she oblivious to social disapproval?

The real in-universe answer is actually simple. All of Pinkie's jokes land because it doesn't take much to make cartoon horses laugh. Therefore, she never really has to deal with her jokes not being laughed at (except in the exceptional inappropriate situation). It might make for an interesting episode if the writers ever wanted to just play cricket noises every time she tried to be funny it would eventually make her really sad though.

>She goes to great lengths to out herself out there, even if it runs the risk of ponies not liking her. Some may be annoyed by her antics, but others, like us, rejoice when we see her.
Like I said above, we don't really see this explored in the show. Cranky and Gilda seem to be deliberate exceptions who don't really get along well with much of anypony. As I mentioned in >>43521839, all evidence indicates that Pinkie is very well-liked across equestria (because cartoon horses are easy to please).
>>
>>43549356
We also don't really see significant evidence of Pinkie not being accepted or liked for being authentically herself. Like I said, she's pretty popular and has lot's of connections across the land. Again, it would make for an interesting episode to explore Pinkie's Pinkie-ness clashing with certain personality types in a way that's more nuanced than Cranky just being upset because he can't find his donkey waifu. This personality clash is also why the Twilight-Pinkie dynamic is so well liked and a lot of anons seem to prefer the early seasons where these kinds of plots were more commonplace.

I think you would also run into the problem that Pinkie's authentic self is intrinsically tied to making others happy, so how do you write a good episode where a people-pleaser is suddenly unpopular (for a reason that isn't arbitrary like other ponies planning your forgotten birthday)?

>Is she oblivious to social disapproval?
>Party of One

In this episode, Pinkie can tell something is off. Her friends are avoiding her, and this plays on her fears of her friends wanting to not be friends anymore. I think she is very aware socially, otherwise she'd have blown it off like she normally does.

Now I will say that there are moments even in season 1 where she doesn't take the hint that ponies don't want to talk to her. Sadly, her writing is inconsistent.

>Griffon Brush Off (Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Gilda)


>The real in-universe answer is actually simple.

I don't agree with this. I think she accepts that not all jokes are going to land and dosen't take it personally, like in the Baby Cakes episode where they only laugh at her attempt at slap stick (pouring flower on herself). But I believe that people find an odd confort in corny or bad jokes. It gives people a sense of belonging or comfort in being with another person. I miss the times when certain friends would do just that, even if I thought it was the unfunniest thing in the world.

> Pinkie is very well-liked across equestria (because cartoon horses are easy to please)

That might be part of it, but it's also how she simply cares and takes great steps to remember ponies, what they like, and to remind them that they have a place to belong to. If they always have a friend in Pinkie, and in a land where friendship is held in high regard, that is worth it's weight in gold.
>>
>>43549356
This is easily dismantled by how much of a screeching nuisance she became post S2. Rarity might be a vapid whore but Pinkie Pie in most of the shows episodes is worse than modern Spongebob.

>I think you would also run into the problem that Pinkie's authentic self is intrinsically tied to making others happy, so how do you write a good episode where a people-pleaser is suddenly unpopular (for a reason that isn't arbitrary like other ponies planning your forgotten birthday)?
For all it's flaws I think Heartbreakers is a good prototype for this idea. The easiest way to make Pinkie unpopular is to have her support something unpopular. That can be somepony new (but she's pretty great at accomodating them and is the main go between) but the more sensible approach would be making it something where the unpopular party is actually in the right.

AJ's family didn't like how Pinkie's family were doing things, but it was in their home. She had to pick somepony to dissappoint, and she disappointed her family first, so we got to see Pinkie actually face the disapproval of ponies she cared about if only for a moment.

My pitch would be something similar: Luna wants a traditional party and hires Pinkie Pie. Pinkie goes all out on researching thousand year old customs and organizing everything at night. Because she's calling contractors out in the middle of the night and having Pinkie get involved with you means staying up till midnight to go to the castle, Pinkie shares in Luna's unpopularness. She also suffers from the fact that she's still exhuberant, but now it's around ponies that are too tired to want to deal with that sort of high-energy interaction. Alternatively, or at the same time, she could be discouraging the festivity that she's usually associated with both because lots of ponies are sleeping and because it's not what Luna wants. I think this could work well because Luna is also a gigglepony but doesn't really get to show it off so she'd pair well with Pinkie privately while still creating conflict between Pinkie and her friends, and the obligation to actually plan the party would create a reason why Pinkie would push through other ponies discomfort with the interactions. And then she'd grow increasingly reserved due to the cold reception, etc.

>The reason that it's satisfying to see is because it's finally a situation where you can say "Ok, this is a man's job. Stow the tea parties and group therapy for a moment, sweetheart, it's time to be brave and strong otherwise we're going to get cut into ribbons by a wild animal."
So, it's pandering garbage for manchildren? It's exactly this kind of 'lasers are what matters, story and character and thinking things through are just ornaments that nopony should seriously care about' that is the fundamental issue with later seasons that's independent from the stuff which is just bad or spiteful. Like, this is a fundamentally poisonous foundation that runs counter to the entire point of the pilot, where brute force is overcome with friendship. It's also just not what happened but that's neither here nor there.
>If I had to defend my stance, I'd say I was lying if I didn't get a little satisfaction out of seeing the show's morality about niceness and friendliness run up against its logical limit. What can a sweet little tea party for little girls do against an indifferent, homicidal maniac beast?
Except Pinkie is speaking softly and carrying a big stick. Suddenly disempowering her for some DiD nonsense would be character assassination right from the heart of things: the faux-logical point you're extolling is literally what Twilight is wrong about in the opener that leads into Pinkie's song. We see the Mane 6 contending with monsters all the time. This would just be yet another day.

You're dismissing friendship as a tea party for little girls that can't accomplish anything, but that's pretty clearly not the message of the show.
>>
>>43550534
>>Party of One
I thought that the circumstances from that episode were a bit different from what I was referring to. Pinkie's friends switching-up on a dime and being secretive trying to avoid her vs a hypothetical plot where nopony finds Pinkie funny no matter how hard she tries to get them to smile. I suppose that the end result would be somewhat similar but I think the betrayal angle from PoO is the unique factor that caused Pinkamena to manifest. PoO is predicated on this contrivance and the resolution is that nothing needs to change because it was a misunderstanding, whereas I was thinking along the lines of "How would Pinkie react if there was a group of ponies who genuinely didn't find Pinkie's jokes worth smiling over?"

>I think she accepts that not all jokes are going to land and dosen't take it personally, like in the Baby Cakes episode where they only laugh at her attempt at slap stick (pouring flower on herself).
Once again, I felt like it wasn't a fair comparison even if the end result is similar. Full-functioning adult giving a deadpan response to your joke vs a newborn who can't understand your words not laughing at your joke. Maybe Pinkie takes potential failure into consideration, but, in-universe, I think that her attempts at humor and levity are so well-received that I'd chalk-it-up to a nonfactor (once again, barring the exceptions I mentioned).

If you take the view that she is self-conscious about each joke that she's about to tell, then I think her repeated attempts at humor throughout the show are testament to how brave she is to continue to try to make others smile in spite of the risk of being unfunny. Other anons put a high valuation on Pinkie's courage when it comes to facing equestria's monstrous fauna, but I think I've made a case for her bravery in social situations as well (again, even if she doesn't seem to face many social repercussions for her jokes in-universe)

>But I believe that people find an odd confort in corny or bad jokes. It gives people a sense of belonging or comfort in being with another person. I miss the times when certain friends would do just that, even if I thought it was the unfunniest thing in the world.
Like I said, I respect that Pinkie is always willing to venture the risk of telling a joke that might not land. She does this because she wants you to smile, and I appreciate that showcase of effort and selflessness moreso than whether or not the joke was delivered with impeccable timing

>but it's also how she simply cares and takes great steps to remember ponies, what they like, and to remind them that they have a place to belong to
Come for the superficial Pinkie (parties, jokes, cakes, etc.), stay for the deeper character underneath

>You're dismissing friendship as a tea party for little girls that can't accomplish anything, but that's pretty clearly not the message of the show.
I know that and that's what I admitted to at the bottom of my post. My opinion on this matter was purely derived from my perspective as an outside observer of this universe. I was injecting real-world logic (you can't befriend a wild animal who wants to consume you) into a fictional universe that operates under a very different set of rules than our own (where friendship and cohesiveness are powerful enough to solve any problem, and where all problems are caused by a lack of friendship and cohesiveness). If the scene that I was referring to was treated as a serious plot point in the show, it probably would have been solved by throwing the monster a tea party because that's how this universe works. I don't have any trouble with accepting these rules, I was just poking fun at imagining this as a scenario in our universe, operating under our rules. Essentially, my post was an epic gamer comic "Dude, what if equestria but real life...dude."

If pinkamena enjoyers can indulge in their guilty pleasure of pretending that Pinkie is secretly a psycho underneath all of the cotton candy, then I don't see why I can't indulge in my own, imagining that "Bro, if I were there facing that snow monster, things would've gone down differently"

Sure, then Pinkie would have had to drag your fat and retarded ass to safety.

The Mane 6 fight monsters all the time, like I already said. Literally fight. The things that Pinkie is giggling at in the opener are standing in for something vastly more frightening and dangerous. If you introduce the idea that violent solutions are the only way (and they do have violent solutions in the show, but this is a random animal that Pinkie stumbled across (presumably in it's natural habitat) and doesn't have the skills to tame so murdering it would be kind of a dick move - we see them beating up monsters in other settlements in addition to general Everfree violence even outside of the conflicts with villains) then the mares that are both in-the-friendship-logic-of-the-show more brave and heroic and literally in life and death violent situations more brave and heroic would ... still be brave and heroic.
>If pinkamena enjoyers can indulge in their guilty pleasure of pretending that Pinkie is secretly a psycho underneath all of the cotton candy
Because you're saying that Pinkie literally in the show isn't brave. You're trying to deflect by talking about something unrelated. You're allowed to have an AU, and you can have characters that wear the character's names act OOC in that AU, but you're saying that the way they would act in that AU reflects how they are in the show and then refusing to defend that position and deflecting when called on it.

>Because you're saying that Pinkie literally in the show isn't brave.
Pictured here: >>43521841 an expression of bravery and heroism. At this moment, Pinkie was definitely thinking "I'm stronger than you and therefore am not intimidated. I could defeat you, but I will spare your life instead by running away screaming. I am clearly the winner."
Why are you getting angry at me for identifying that Pinkie was scared in this scene? I hate to be the first one to apparently break the news to you, but the show's writing isn't always consistent (neither is Pinkie's).

What I wrote in quotation was intended to be a sarcastic representation of your argument. You were arguing that Pinkie was brave, and so I applied that framework to the scene in reference. The joke being that this interpretation of the scene (that Pinkie is brave in the face of this snow monster) is completely at odds with her facial expression and ensuing actions. I just want to hear how you reconcile this inconsistency (the brave pony cowering in fear).

She is. That's unequivocally true. What I literally claimed is that you are claiming that Pinkie isn't brave. You read my post saying that you're wrong for saying Pinkie is brave, said I misinterpreted you, and are now continuing to claim that she isn't brave.

>What I wrote in quotation was intended to be a sarcastic representation of your argument.
This argument wasn't made by me, but is evidence of the position you keep defending and essentially the worse possible reading of your claims. The fact that it's what you actually believe is fucking crazy.
Not being afraid isn't being brave. The fact that your only conception of 'bravery' is being in no danger whatsoever like it's a videogame is fucking wild. I couldn't write a more retarded parody than your own thinking. Like genuinely you seem to be claiming that you're such a tough guy that you wouldn't be hurt by being shot, and that anyone that's afraid of being shot - including and actually seemingly especially those that put themselves into the line of fire first to lead a group of brave defenders that are putting themselves out there to try to protect others - isn't brave. It's fucking insane.

Like it genuinely boggles my mind how fucking insane this perspective is. This is the official, character defining statement about Pinkie that Twilight delivers when she's naming their elements
>Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!
>in the face of danger
Pinkie Pie confronts danger and moves forward. That's the fucking point. Saying that she's not brave because she's afraid of things even though she resolves to confront them anyway is doing my fucking head in with how batshit retarded it is. But you're totally butchering the posts you're replying to anyway so I assume you just can't read/write and I'm talking to a thirdworlder with 80IQ anyway.

May actually be wrong. Of course she doesn't necessarily need to be there but the real point is that culturally, dying at a young age may not be how rock ponies approach things. She's planning her folks' 500th anniversary. It's an interesting question because Limestone certainly sees herself as the manager of the farm in a way, so maybe that should be read more literally an in the same way that AJ is the one actually running her family farm maybe Igneous and Cloudy have taken a secondary role already.

Two posts ago I already knew this was going to devolve into a semantic discussion about "actually real bravery is x". I'm really not interested in this. I showed an example that runs counter to your assumption that Pinkie is brave. I asked you to provide an explanation of how running away from the snow monster represents bravery. Your explanation:
>Pinkie Pie confronts danger and moves forward. That's the fucking point.
is explicitly the opposite of what occurs in this scene. She encounters the monster and tries to converse with it. Then the monster swipes and lops off a lock of her hair, prompting her to run away from it.

I guess you could make an argument that it's brave to try to talk to a scary cave monster, but I think there's a stronger argument that Pinkie is just a bit oblivious/carefree, thinking that she can charm a wild animal into providing coherent directions (or, in your words: it isn't brave. It's fucking insane.)

Pinkie's bravery has been a topic for discussion over the previous few thread. I like discussing Ponk, but you really haven't displayed enough good faith for me to continue to debate with you. It's an ironic trend that I've noticed that the posters who are most eager to school others about the show's morals on friendship (like you did in your first reply) are simultaneously the most disrespectful and derisive towards others. Especially ironic coming from a poster waving a Ponk flag.

No, it's literally the exact thing that is depicted on screen. She runs forward both literally and metaphorically towards Yakyakistan.

Saying that you knew that you were wrong before you said something retarded doesn't make what you said not retarded.

No, you showed an example that is orthogonal at best to Pinkie being brave but realistically does (and was intended to) show that she was brave.

Correct.
>but I think there's a stronger argument that Pinkie is just a bit oblivious/carefree
>it isn't brave. It's fucking insane.
Obviously wrong. If your argument is "Pinkie is retarded and doesn't recognize the danger" then you literally haven't seen the show. There's only so many times the show can be directly quoted and you ignore it before it becomes clear that you're just shitting yourself in public and don't care about the character/show in the least and we're way, way past that.
>I like discussing Ponk
Pretty obviously not considering your total refusal to engage with her depiction in the show.
>>
>>43553305
>She runs forward both literally and metaphorically towards Yakyakistan.
Watch the scene again, she clearly runs away from the monster (the danger). It is pure coincidence that she comes upon yakistan after scrambling away from the monster. The snow monster is the obvious locus of this scene that I've been referring to since it, not yakistan, represents the danger that needs to be confronted (not for the plot to progress, but for Pinkie to achieve the criterion of "bravery)

>Obviously wrong. If your argument is "Pinkie is retarded and doesn't recognize the danger" then you literally haven't seen the show.
Can you tell me why her expression changes in >>43521841? Once again, is this an expression of bravery? Does this convey that she knew that she was dealing with a dangerous beast beforehand? Why does it look like she's caught completely off-guard by the interaction if she recognized the danger from the start/took it seriously?

I'll offer a scene from another animated series that, I think, better represents the conception of bravery that you are trying to read into this scene. https://youtu.be/0FPva6XmcVA?t=131 Here, aang is obviously frightened, but keeps a calm composure and persists in the face of danger, completely understanding the stakes of the situation and how to avoid calamity. Contrast this with Pinkie https://youtu.be/2TQZx4VFWPo?t=961 who tries to converse with a wild beast like it's just the same as any pony she'd meet on the street (classic Pinkie). When this doesn't go well for her, she gets visibly flustered and doesn't display any follow-through, instead choosing to retreat opposite the direction of the danger. I see no evidence that Pinkie was attempting to treat the monster as a serious threat here. If you want to say that it was Pinkie 5d chess and she had a handle on the situation from the start, then knock yourself out, but I disagree. I maintain that it's inconsistent character writing--sometimes she's brave (giggle at the ghosties) sometimes she's afraid (Bridle Gossip).

If this scene was an accurate representation of Pinkie's bravery, then she would have lackadaisically brushed-off the monster's assault, offering some quip along the lines of, "Sheesh, if you don't know the directions to yakistan, just say so, silly!" and bounced away smiling in typical Pinkie fashion.

>>43553385
>Once again, is this an expression of bravery?
Yes.
>The snow monster is the obvious locus of this scene that I've been referring to
It's not. Her goal is to reach Yakyakistan. The beast is just an obstacle, which she overcomes.
>>
>>43553408
aaannd my joke in >>43553023 has run it's course. Now you are literally adopting the position that I said you would.
>"Yes, screaming and running away is brave. Yes, I have overcome this monster by fleeing from it."

Let's just agree to disagree. We obviously have very different interpretations of this scene. Maybe another anon will provide some new ideas to this discussion at a later point.
>>
>>43553408
Sorry, one more idea here for closure
>Her goal is to reach Yakyakistan. The beast is just an obstacle, which she overcomes.
I maintain that Pinkie reaching yakistan after this scene was just coincidence, not a result of her overcoming the danger. In this moment, >>43521841 Pinkie is not thinking about throwing the perfect party to make the yaks feel welcome, she is thinking, "My life is in jeopardy. I need to remove myself from this situation immediately. I don't care where I go, I just need to get away." She is not in control of the situation, and therefore, is not able to plan a decision about which direction to flee in. It just so happens (because cartoons have a 21 minute runtime) that she flees in the direction of her goal, thus expediting the plot.

Really, unless you think that her apparently fearful expression is a facade for the viewer (like >>43534766 said), I don't see any other explanation for this series of events. Maybe can argue that Pinkie puts on a brave face initially, but she sure doesn't maintain that gumption once the stakes are raised and she realizes the genuine danger that she has found herself in. She then reacts to this danger by running away because she was scared.

This is literally the most out of character thing she could possibly be thinking.
I'm really curious how this random animal just in a cave that she happened to come across is a mortal threat that is infinitely more dangerous than
>Nightmare Moon (who Pinkie knows essentially nothing about, so this might as well be pony satan)

What the fuck are you talking about? She gets surprised and then puts on a brave face. Again, bravery isn't not being in danger. Holy fuck you are so stupid it's unbelievable. It's especially amazing that this is in service of an ITG routine where you literally are daydreaming about fighting the monster and need to completely assassinate Pinkie's character (like literally 180 degree reverse it) to dream of a world where doing so would be the appropriate thing to do.

My first thought when I saw the episode originally was that the Yaks were going to deal with it and that would relate to the solution for the episode (since this was the first thing that happened in their lands), but it ended up being a pretty background detail.
>Equestria spared of their existence
Exterminating the yaks would be a bit like killing everyone on north sentinel island. It'd be trivial for the ponies to do and they have to go out of their way not to prevent incidental disasters / massive social upheaval just from making contact, but it also doesn't really get them anything. The real blame for Yaks showing up at high society events just lies at Celestia's hooves, much the same as Discord disrupting the Galas and the like, and is just a product of her own shit taste. If she couldn't bring in Yaks for her entertainment she'd just get Twilight to find a new type of savages to parade around at her parties and nothing much would change.

Dude you're literally posting inb4's that are just you conceding exactly what I said. She doesn't "run away", she "continues". If she was running directly away she'd go almost exactly directly away. She reacts, and then jumps OUT of the snow and lands closer to it, and then runs closer to it still.
>Holy dishonest argument
It's truly wild that you're trying to call anyone dishonest (for things that never said, even) while ranting and raving against the core characterization of the character and the literal contents of the show. You have not even pretended to respond to any part of the many posts explaining why you're retarded and have been constantly making shit up in direct contradiction to the core themes of the show.
Just stop. Watch the show. Stop shitposting. Learn to read and write and stop being an ESL thirdworlder.

Anon this is her facing literally the most dangerous creature in the show, possibly in existence, after it has already hurt her and all of her friends. She did the same thing a season earlier when there wasn't any basis to expect that they were going to succeed.

Once again, my arguments for this are: 21 minute runtime constraint necessitating that characters reach their goals in a timely manner; Pinkie being too genuinely afraid to be able to care about a silly yak party in this moment

>making shit up in direct contradiction to the core themes of the show
I was very clear about this from the start. "Dude, what if we applied real world logic to Equestria...that would be epic" I think you are too dogmatically focused on overarching themes to be able to engage with any actual evidence that's been presented to you. I'm not even discussing themes with you, we're arguing about character writing and motivation in a single scene. Get off your high horse like you're the board-appointed defender of sacred equestrian ideals and just engage with the evidence and arguments. I'm not calling you dishonest because of what you said, I'm calling you dishonest because you're cherrypicking frames from the show to suit your argument while ignoring evidence to the contrary.

>your picrel
Great choice. 2 seconds before that frame, she was lackadaisically enjoying chocolate milk rain from a cotton candy cloud. This is the epitome of a character who takes existential threats seriously. Like I said in >>43553287
>but I think there's a stronger argument that Pinkie is just a bit oblivious/carefree
I think the brave/cowardly debate is a false dichotomy. I'm of the opinion that Pinkie does get scared sometimes (Bridle Gossip, Dragonshy picrel, there was a moment in A Friend in Deed where she was scared of spiders, Scare Master), but generally treats dire situations with a carefree approach. I think this explains the contradiction in your picrel: she's super serious about an existential threat despite having just enjoyed a silly chocolate milk rain shower (we'll just ignore that her gritting her teeth there is obviously performative and played as a joke). I'm surprised that I really need to spell-out that the silly laughter character doesn't always act serious, but people really latched onto "Giggle at the Ghosties" and interpreted that as Pinkie being some kind of badass who never flinches or is afraid, despite evidence to the contrary.

If you want more of an explanation than this, then maybe Pinkie sense gives her selective precognition kind of like >>43534830
>alicorns have a Pinkie Sense/Maud Sense equivalent? It's actually a reasonable way to explain why they're so lackadaisical about national emergencies since they might have advance knowledge that it's going to work out.

Or I've also elaborated here >>43513185
>The rest of the 6 aren't around to drive the plot forward and take things seriously, so that task falls pretty much squarely on Pinkie

It seems like you are capable of normal discussion in >>43553491, why couldn't you extend the same decorum to me over a disagreement? Embody the ideals of the show which you purport to value

Not an argument, and again, this would only give more weight to the many times the show stops everything and beats you over the head with the character defining moments like Pinkie's song or Twilight's description of her as the Element of Laughter.
>I was very clear about this from the start. "Dude, what if we applied real world logic to Equestria...that would be epic"
Real world logic says that you're wrong, and has nothing to do with the line of discussion, and all of this was already addressed, and you've glossed over that without addressing it at all to continue trolling. Go back and read the posts that you've consistently refused to engage with at all.
>I think you are too dogmatically focused on overarching themes to be able to engage with any actual evidence that's been presented to you
Anon you're the one ignoring the direct evidence of the show that has been presented to you repeatedly.
>I'm calling you dishonest because you're cherrypicking frames from the show to suit your argument while ignoring evidence to the contrary.
There is no evidence to the contrary. There is no cherrypicking. There is an unbroken string of evidence starting with the character definition and carried through consistently in every scene either of us have posted.

>Great choice. 2 seconds before that frame, she was lackadaisically enjoying chocolate milk rain from a cotton candy cloud. This is the epitome of a character who takes existential threats seriously.
Correct. See: See: Giggle at the Ghosties, Element of Laughter speech, etc.

That's called "being brave".
>I think this explains the contradiction in your picrel
There is no contradiction.

Because, you stupid fucking faggot, you started this conversation by ignoring two thirds of the reply to you and cherry picking something completely unrelated, constantly deliberately misinterpret posts and skipping every part of them you have no reply for, and are asserting that a character's core trait is completely false in blatant contradiction to all evidence. You are either trolling or so stupid that it isn't possible for human beings to communicate with you.

You're basically asking me why I'm not seriously engaging your argument that a #FF0000 square is green because you personally have done a one finger pushup on the moon while ignoring every reply.

Your first reply where you implied (and later asserted) that I was a manchild who was looking to be pandered to? Not very respectful on your part.

>>43553629
And, frankly, I didn't anticipate that you would take the topic so seriously. I tried to deescalate in my first reply to you assuring you that this wasn't a topic that I was taking very seriously, but you insisted on blowing things out of proportion and turning this into the most derogatory lesson about friendship that I could imagine. Arguing with you ceased to be productive long ago, but I continued to do so just to demonstrate for the record and to share my thoughts, hoping that other anons could glean some use from the ideas that were expressed.

Fwiw I think you have a unique perspective, to some extent, but you are too dogmatic and can't accept any of the merit in disagreements. It's not an objective way to argue or discuss, and it really hurts the merit of your arguments from the perspective of an impartial observer when you can't admit fault/reconcile inconsistencies.

Ah yes, the last refuge of someone that's been called out on trolling, use the character that they're shitting on as a shield.

You wouldn't happen to have been in the "Write what's on your mind" thread from the other day, would you? There was a very disrespectful ponk poster in that thread as well >>43546278 who was incredibly dogmatic about his interpretation of the show's cannon. He was also unable to understand the concept of a joke, instead arguing that everypony in the show has pyrokinetic abilities based off of the evidence that twilight bursts into flames for a moment in "Feeling Pinkie Keen". No doubt a unique perspective that literally everything shown to us on screen is cannon, but it's much simpler just to admit that the writing isn't 100% consistent and there's ample room for interpretation. Otherwise, you twist yourself into a pretzel with mental gymnastics trying to make inconsistencies agree with each other.

Oh and since you definitely aren't the same poster as >>43540955, take a look at the two strongest earth ponies in all of equestria (Pinkie and Maud) struggling to push a boulder so much so that they have to enlist the help of the absolute lowest tier pony in the show (Applejack) to get that boulder moving.

Of course, if I'm being schizo, then just ignore and that will be the end of it. This has nothing to do with you.

>Pinkie's body seems to pick up on this fortunate information as her short methodical thrusts devolve into messy mindless humping as her eyes roll back and her tongue bounces out of her open mouth as wildly as her tail bounces on top of you

The hypothetical of Maud is a good idea but she's introduced into the story too late and handled too clumsily for it to work

We already know that Pinkie is a sensitive sort so having the sister that she leaned on show up and Pinkie have to overcome that infantalized mindset she might adopt around her is a valid beat. But they really don't do that; Pinkie never drops her idiot ball in Maud episodes, and they become quite painful to watch specifically whenever Pinkie is on the screen which is a real curse. As a backstory element she's quite good though IMO. You can easily see how Pinkie and her would get along since Maud has niche and extreme interests and does care deeply care about humor/joy but doesn't have the same ability to translate that interest into a connection to the average pony.

As a character independent of Pinkie she's generally a pretty good addition once the writers find their feet for her though. She works great as a foil to Starlight and is very effective as the Pinkie to her Twilight. Maud cuts through her insecurities and just approaches her as a friend in the same way that Pinkie takes Twilight's neuroticism and just runs with it and turns it into something to bond over. Rock Solid Friendship would be one of the best late season episodes if only Pinkie was handled with a bit more tact (although tactless handling of Pinkie is the central conflict, so I don't know how exactly you're rewrite it to do this).

I'd have to watch the episodes again, but from what I remember I think I enjoyed the older maud episodes more when it was just Pinkie being in the know about Maud and her emotional state. I think it is very relatable situation I've had in this fandom where some people are stone cold and expressionless and it becomes difficult to decern what they are thinking. But they turn out to be good folk, they just have difficulty expressing themselves, and very good at helping you out when you're in need. Pinkie, being very observant, at least in an emotional sense, is able to pick up subtle hints as to how Maud is feeling which shows how close they are to one another.

I do agree that Pinkie does act silly or overly naive in these episodes just so that Maud can shine, but I also like what Maud represents: looks can be decieving. She seems apathetic and odd, but when it comes down to brass tax, she is a good friend who helps others. Doesn't excuse the quality of writing, but I still think it does a decent job of getting the point across.

You can be black and not be a nigger
Well not you specifically
Other people can though

Also Pinkie is performatively racist for fun all the time and one of the very first episodes is her pushing through her prejudice to extend the hoof of friendship to somecreature only to have the prejudice that she did so much to bury proven completely right to the point that her best friend feels she has to apologize to everypony for ever having brought them there.

I finished watching that episode with my buddy! Gotta say, I'm impressed. The "yaks destroying everything" gag was overplayed at the start and Pinkie being super worried felt like it was played up to a point it disregarded her usual optimism and silliness, but I loved her serious monologues through the episode and how focused and determined she was - it showed a serious, brave side of Pinkie that felt very implied by the show to be underneath the surface, but had never really had a moment to come out into the limelight. Her friends finally seeing how much of a schizo she is about planning (and shitposting with her planning, from the 500th birthday celebration shit she did) and loving her for who she was on the inside was so sweet; Ponk started crying on the spot for being loved for who she was and had no issues showing all of her secret plans to her besties. It was such a mask-off moment for Pinkie and it was really sweet. Yeah, had the usual post-S2 flaws for Ponk but I was pleasantly surprised by what they did with her.

Her running away from the monster wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be either, it was a quick moment of her being like "oh shit" and then booking it and seeing the bright side of the situation again. Yeah, her giggling as her mane tuft got cut off before breaking into a confident sprint likely would've been a little better but I was anticipating something bad given it was such a far out episode.

>Pinkie is so free-spirited and worry-free since she's confident that she can charm her way out of any situation. Maybe Twilight resents her a little bit for this carefree approach (growing up as the princess' protege must've been a stressful upbringing, as we can tell by how high-strung Twilight is around Celestia), which is why she toils so much against her in Feeling Pinkie Keen, wanting so desperately to validate her own approach to conflict (careful planning and logic) over Pinkie's.
Yep. Pinkie's entire way of life leads S1 Twilight to view her how a Rick & Morty Redditor sees an old person appreciating flowers and going to church. The whole scene with Pinkie happily sniffing flowers and enjoying the little things while Twilight just sees it as stupid and pointless and sarcastically remarks that "it's because the flowers smell good". She can describe simple joys with logic, but by doing so, alienates herself from being able to experience them like Pinkie does. Ponk's the wise fool in many ways and I love that about her.

Oh I loved this post when I first saw it but simply forgot to respond. Pinkie's the epitome of the free spirit. She's so happy and cheerful she just chases joy wherever it is and leaves the bad stuff on the ground where she found it.

>So many people are scared to show their true selves because they believe that people will be annoyed, or they may say the wrong thing or do something cringe. Society is so focused on giving judgement and shame and guilt that it results in people acting like skin walkers; shilling what they know is uncontraversial just to fit into a group they probably don't even like just because they feel like it's better than being alone. When you have a world where genuine personality is punished, how do you expect people to have a genuine social connection with one another?
This is one of the biggest messages of Pinkie's character. She struggles with feeling like she's too much in S1 and is super clingy as a result, and that balance of authenticity vs "being accepted" seems to be something she's very aware of and contemplates a lot.

It makes her open-minded and accepting too. She IS the weird one, so everyone else is just a unique individual like she is, and she always wants that individual to be happy.

>>43549356
>The real in-universe answer is actually simple. All of Pinkie's jokes land because it doesn't take much to make cartoon horses laugh. Therefore, she never really has to deal with her jokes not being laughed at (except in the exceptional inappropriate situation). It might make for an interesting episode if the writers ever wanted to just play cricket noises every time she tried to be funny it would eventually make her really sad though.
I actually disagree with this, funnily enough. She seems to enjoy being the freak and likes dropping gags that don't land, and actively enjoys being a mild nuisance sometimes too.

That episode clip is fucking awesome, too. I've always wanted a Pinkie episode about Rarity and Pinkie going to say, Canterlot, and both of their approaches to society completely clashing and it resulting in a friendship problem that needs to be solved. If that's what they finally tackle in this one I'm really excited to get to it. It's fun when the show writers already had an idea you had, kek.

Sorry for late responses, lads, I end up running all over the board sometimes and, as a result, sometimes only swing back around to threads I've posted in a lot a little bit later. My condolences for the weird arguing about Ponk earlier in the thread LOL that was so surreal to see.

No problem, rocks don't care if it's rain or wind, the desert or the jungle. The ponies there just endure without complaint.
>no unicorns
No problem, rocks don't care if it's day or night. The ponies there just endure without complaint.
>no friendship and an age full of monsters which fan and feed on conflict
They have strict systems of formal conduct which allow even ponies like Limestone, Maud and Marble (and young Pinkie) to function and interact with other ponies. When these are challenged they politely but firmly circle the wagons and retreat to family configurations where they can keep harmonious. Ponka even offers to leave (her own family home in a family holiday, seemingly without any plans to return) when she feels like she's become one of the ones that's causing a problem.

The only thing of real value on the farm is supposedly of draconic origin. It was in a dragon's nest seemingly before recorded history and apocryphally before time began and the ponies took the location. Do we ever get a relative position for the rock farm other than the fact that it's many miles out and the very loose and probably inconsistent direction that characters set out to reach it? I wonder if it's actually on the border of the dragon lands.

Am I wrong?
Granny Smith's folks almost expired as part of a wagon train into the heart of civilization and then were given a substantial land grant by the princess and still weren't going to make it if it weren't for her initiative.

Somewhat unrelated but Pinkie comes across as pretty widely read and knowledgeable. Obviously Maud has some of the highest educational attainment we see in the show and once she's older a lot of that is her own study but I do sort of think that all the Pies probably learn a lot more in their homeschooling (?) than the average poner does.
