But she was right. She was actually correct, and wasn't so prideful as to refuse help from her friends. Her pride was completely justified in that episode, she was right and knew she was right so she acted like she was right; that's totally reasonable. At the end she sounded more happy about her stance being validated than prideful to me anyways. I mean, she was proud (and damn well should have been), but she was more excited about not losing her farm.
Then again, I did completely forget about the episode where she ran away to try and make money to bring back after not winning a competition (even though she was super humble when everyone told her she would win for sure). Of course, she only did that to help everyone and fully intended to return when she had the money. So...still a selfless act of kindness, but one that could have been handled better (and the cause of the problem was feeling terrible about letting everyone down).
I just feel like Applejack has things to learn, but her personality itself isn't flawed like, say, Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash. They have actual problems with who they are, whereas Applejack is honest, hard-working and dependable.
The CMC did really make a comeback. After every episode they had in the first season was terrible they stepped up their game. They still haven't had any episodes I'd consider in my favorites (sorry, but Winter Wrap-up and Nightmare Night are too good), but I enjoy them now.

Re: Applejack's stubborn pride
She spends Applebuck Season trying to accomplish an impossible task and refusing Twilight's help repeatedly.
In the running of the leaves episode, she accuses Rainbow Dash of cheating in the Iron Pony competition because Rainbow used her wings - even though that was never explicitly stated that's the definition of a scrub Then the actual running of the leaves turns into the two of them trying to out-cheat each other.
In the sleepover episode she cannot admit that Rarity has a point about anything, ever.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Completely forgot about the sleepover episode. Stupid season 1 episodes making AJ look bad. I guess my recent memory just doesn't recall her being anything but perfect
I'd say she's justified in Applebuck season by not wanting to bother anyone else; I think it's sort of a virtue to try to do the impossible and see the invisible, row row fight the powa. I don't remember if she did it in a bitchy way, but damnit damnit fuck shit. You win this round.
Fucking well-rounded characters.

Applebucking season was probably really the only episode I really liked, mostly because that's the way I am, I hate asking for help on stuff.

I've noticed that season 2 Rarity is a lot more likeable than season 1 Rarity as well. If you compare the two, she's way more likeable and doesn't seem like she take advantage of Spike like she did on season 1.

At work, there's a type of scented oil for sale called "Sensual Twilight"

Well at least it is for a setting where Casters (ie Unicorns) are expected to rule.....but wow, apparently

- { stability bonus plus Trample feat minus increased ASF} is somehow worth the same as
- { flight speed plus straight line speed increase plus cloudwalking } is somehow worth the same as
- { at-will cantrips + increased chance to beat SR + a natural attack + daily 2nd level spell + daily spell not in PF SRD }

and that's without getting into how easy it is for casters to laugh off a Strength Penalty
Also, Trample Feat in PF requires Mounted Combat, so in this game Earth Ponies ride other Earth Ponies around.

Meetup.net is notifying me that there is a Ponyfinder group "nearby" ...in Cambell, CA.
I now want someone to run a MLP game of Legend.
...though it occurs to me that if one uses the Pathfinder ones I could play a Pony Demoniac. Which I totally want to do now. Especially as I could say that the demon lord symbol replaces or is superimposed onto the cutie mark....
Please? Someone run Ponyfinder?

You've got to admit, they are funny words.
To spark a discussion, has anybody here gone to one of those brony meetups or any sort of brony-based event? I'm curious because I'm going to a multi-day video game tournament and am 100000% sure there will be a brony meetup thingy there and want to know if it's something interesting to do in my downtime or if my time will be better spent playing SSBM for 72 hours straight instead.

I've only been to a regular pony meet; and my friend and I were the only males there (TOZ as a temporary guest star), which means the entire experience is going to be substantially different. For no other reason than because they also care a lot about collecting Gen 1 through 3.5 ponies, and Gen 4 is simply part of the experience; while to my knowledge, bronies care drastically more about Gen 4 than the others.
If I had to hazard a guess, it would be like any anime meetup, only everyone would start off talking about MLP:FiM instead of Naruto.

A friend of mine keeps posting anti-obama macros on his facebook feed. I'm not in love with the guy or anything, but I tend to find anyone with only one thing to say at any given time to be boring.
So I sent him a MLP fanfic. Involving Obama and Princess Celestia...
