Speaking about continunity, since long time past with more mess from Fausts abandonment from the show; Hasbro and DHX still needs to answer to the other stories close within the continuity. The IDW comics, those Daring Do Books, Under a Sparkling Sea, and others. Journal of the Two Sisters kind of didn’t do justice. I guess it’s nice to know what was around all those years ago for Celestia and Luna, but I was expecting some sort of timeline chart to when these events were taking place. This includes years. There was this one scene in Daring Do and the Eternal Flower where this one pony has a coin that dates back to 900 BC (Before Celestia [hurr hurr hurr] no joke) And that’s so far we know of a timeline.
 
I think JOTS and the DD books are as of right now, canon. With GM Berrow who wrote those Daring Do books is now in the show staff, and possibly going to write that Crusaders of the Lost Mark. And Amy Keating wrote Journal of the Two Sisters somewhere before or after she left the crew. Still, I think Ahuizotl being a mortal is an enormous stretch for my taste. But Daring being in a cult is really interesting. Something that I was wanting to see in Griffinstone, but didn’t.
 
Severely disappointed, but at least the World Building is there with the Griffins. I never read most of the continual books besides Daring, and the IDW comics. I love the IDW comics. Exception of that Powerponies due to a certain writer who puts his opinions on someone that I don’t find at all flattering. I just love the fact we’re seeing exotic races and creatures that the show could not. At the time, I love the comics more than S3. Which, to me; is something severely wrong here. Which, is true, Season 3 was a mess compared to Season 4 and 5 currently. As well as all the previous seasons. Just making a spitballing here, instead of whining like a man child like some of you unrelated unrelaters are. :P

I beg your pardon, but what’s the question?

@TwilightVelvetSparkle  
“Brushing the griffon” – Freudian ship?
 
@Background Pony #348D  
Please see the image you linked here for my question for you.

7 Feb 2011; I’ll update the source with a direct link to Lauren Faust’s comment.

How about we keep the discussion related to the image at hand?

@TexasUberAlles  
I’m sorry, explain it really slow. With smaller words.

@Prof.NightJack  
>Wow, how stupid are you to not understand that one can’t put sarcasm into text.  
Sure you can. Sarcasm has always been contextual rather than tonal in nature, so any claim you can write sarcastically in text is, well, wrong. It’s “power lines cause cancer” wrong. You can set up an experiment and claim you observed it, but it is still irrevocably, unquestionably, undeniably wrong. The actual level of stupidity that goes into arriving to such a conclusion is of such magnitude you can actually measure it by the level of certainty a person has upon their correctness. And so on and so forth. Add more levels of pointless attempts at insulting you.
 
And the moops argument? Very well, I suppose I can’t argue with that. That said, you did lead me to this picture, which as it turns out was right here on the booru: >>716478
 
 
>Ya, I know but I also pointed out he can be right at time.  
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. That need not imply you should presume the clock is right at any time. You either ignore it, use it for other purposes, or throw it away.

@Background Pony #348D  
Setting aside for a moment the central fact that her personal life is exactly zero point nothing percent any of our business, I’d hate for it to go over your head that I was pointing and laughing at the very idea of a channer driveby anon making noise about someone else being an “internet tough guy”. ROFLMAO.GIF is really the only appropriate response to something that patently absurd.

@Background Pony #348D  
“your ability to be unable to read sarcasm is noted’  
Wow, how stupid are you to not understand that one can’t put sarcasm into text.  
I have stated many time that one has to put in the effort to have the sarcasm come out when you only have text. It’s something I used to point out all the time but as rarely anyone to notice I gave up
 
As for the sonogram, it didn’t have anything saying it was her’s, people where wonding if that was the case but as there was no confirmation as to it’s mean my point still stand, there where no FACTS to say she was., so unless you can provide a concert statement that she was then the answer to “Did she have a miscarriage?” is “we didn’t even know for sure she was ever pregnant”.
 
“Texas is a special sort of fellow”  
Ya, I know but I also pointed out he can be right at time.

@Prof.NightJack  
Nothing about common sense about making any speech verbotem, mate, specially when you think anyone will care if you go “Shut your damn mouth”. That’s actively instigating for no reason, and his butthurt feeds me because it’s so ridiculous.
 
Also, there were picture of her sonograms on her facebook. That’s how the whole thing started, changing the narrative from infighting about control to she being unable to work because of that. You were there. I know you were because you have been here just as long as I was.
 
Being wrong, or defending people like anti doesn’t suit you. Or maybe it does, I just haven’t bothered to keep track.
 
Additionally, your ability to be unable to read sarcasm is noted, and the reminder to presume you will be unable to comprehend the most basic subtext has been added.
 
And I know he was aiming it at me, but Texas is a special sort of fellow you got to pat his head and he’ll go away on his own.
 
>duckery in the comments  
Oh, shucks, just for me?

@Background Pony #348D  
He was aiming that at you.  
Calling TheAntiCat and internet tough guy when he was talking with common sense is kind of stupid.  
It her personal matters really isn’t any of our business.  
And to be honest there never way any facts about her being pregnant, just romors that some “personal matters” she had at one point that kept her form being a part of something was that she was expecting, but there was never anything said by her ot anyone that knew her personally so to out of the blue email her and ask if she had a miscarriage is really rude and invading her privacy.

@TexasUberAlles  
Exactly, mate. Exactly.

@Background Pony #348D  
internet tough guy  

@TheAntiCat  
Make me, internet tough guy.
 
 
@Prof.NightJack  
Fair enough.
 
 
@TexasUberAlles  
Huh… so I should ignore the thought about sending her an email asking her about it. Well, I suppose I must give you have the credit and link you in it.

@Background Pony #348D  
Gee, what a brilliant time to bring up something so horrible and personal to this woman WHICH HAS FUCK ALL TO DO WITH YOU OR BRONIES AT LARGE.
 
Shut your damn mouth.

RD’s First winter with Tank  
It’s clearly just a matter of the writing staff not actually giving a buck about continuity the way we do, but my headcanon is that when Tank started tapping out last Winter, Dash took him to the town veterinarian, who realized she was too dense to understand hibernation and decided to keep him “for observation” and just told her she’d happened to catch him sleeping every time she came to check on him.

Even without the timeline oddities, the show still has it’s fair share of continuity weirdness when they explore character history: RD’s history with Fs in cutie mark chronicles vs how she treats FS in Brushing the griffon, Shining armor and Maud.

@Background Pony #348D  
No, it’s we really don’t know.

@martianmister  
So yes, but we all act like it didn’t.

@Background Pony #348D  
It’s a mystery. Better not talk about it.

You know, a thought just occurred to me. Did she have a miscarriage?

@Twilight_Shimmer  
Episodes within season don’t follow each other in production order. Events in “May the Best Pet Win!” could be happened after “Hearth’s Warming Eve”.

Here’s further reason to need continuity. We know for a fact at least 1 winter has passed since season 4, and we KNOW during that time RD already had Tank, thus this seasons episode “Tanks for the Memories” is flawed as there’s no way that was RD’s First winter with Tank

@Prof.NightJack  
Probably about mid to late season 1 time. Eventually even summer 2011 in the hiatus between s1 and s2.

Still, an official time line would be nice. especially since in internal show time only one to two years have passed so far, but it seems so much longer.
