My Little Pony: Threadship is Magic # 21

I was aware of that, are you aware that Gollum and Venom also use the royal we. It's still awesome that your teacher will show it to all the classes.
If we were to study Hamlet at my school, I would go all out Luna and shout while reading, but we do not have English anymore, the only subject I miss from the first year
(I have chosen a line of education that only has English as a subject the first year (out of three).

Not shocking, repulsive :biggrin:

To each their own.

Yeah, I knew it was a thing. That's why I was happy to see Luna use it.

You'd think I would of seen someone mention that it was an actual thing at some point.

Presumably Gollum uses it because he's referring to the Precious as well as himself (and the split personality that comes with it). And Venom because it's a symbiotic relationship so there's two beings present.

And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_plural the term may come from the fact that royalty was by divine right, so they reference themselves as well as God.

If you're eager to make wild assumptions and jump to conclusions (we all are, right?) we could extrapolate that and say Luna still has a little Nightmare Moon in her, and is referencing her inner monster as well. Or for the less chronically depressed, the royal We in Equestria refers to both Celestia and Luna, who rule together. I like the latter a lot more.

Sorry, I thought everyone knew. Something I don't know is if you in English, if you're going tom be polite use "them" and "theirs" instead of "you" and "yours", we do/did that in Norway, I don't know if we had the royal we however.

Duh, there's porm on EVERYTHING on the internet, I don't know why MLP porm is so shocking, even if it is a kid's show.

ANYWAYS! Did you guys know the royal 'We' is an actual thing, used in old english? We started Hamlet today in my English class, and the teacher pointed out the king using 'we' instead of 'I'. Of course I was like "WOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!". After class I showed my teacher the clip where Luna explains the Royal Canterlot Voice, and my teacher thought it was great. She said she was going to show it to all of her classes.
Haha thats awesome. :biggrin:

Feel like i'm some kind of addict here being jittery waiting for the new episode to come this weekend. Definitely getting some apple family time with these upcoming episodes which will be interesting. Sadly before we know it the season will be over but we are in luck since S3 is in production.
I feel the same way. It's been a long wait, we've had Christmas and New Years so it's no problem but I'm really excited for the show to start again! My avatar is symbolising my anticipation for the new episode, that's the whole point of it as I said it was a temporary one until the break was over. :tongue: Saturday episodes is a highlight in the week (and I assume that's the case for most bronies) so it's great to have them back!

I seriously thought that's why she was saying 'we' instead of 'I'. I was like woah, that's pretty crazy! Then she told twilight that it was just traditional, and I was like "oh".

I admit, I have a folder with a few choice pieces of 'pony porm'(porm is such an ugly term, that doesn't accurately describe what I'm talking about, but whatever). One of the most prominent artists in the community, Johnjoseco, actually does quite a bit of humanized, nvde, versions of the ponies.

Like I said, to each their own. You can watch the show and not look at a single piece of fan art, and vice-versa. S'up to you.

I avoid those (but I do occasionally raid the blog he posts them on for (family-friendly) ponies). I do, however, follow his Ask Princess Molestia blog, which is as close to pony porm as I save. I make an exception for it because it's hilarious and because JJ is awesome.

(P.S. that blog is definitely not family-friendly)

Thou will surely like the 10th Doctor. We liked Chris Eccleston, but David Tennant is best Doctor. We really don't like Matt Smith very much.

That magic is a virus that will infect every fiber of his being infusing him with friendship, love and tolerance. We are not a cancer but a plague that shall bring happiness to the world instead of destruction. Through our united strength the world shall evolve into what it should be A UTOPIA and when that happens I decree we name earth EQUESTRIA! ;)

Though we'll have to start small to keep the parasprites at bay since well ya know....

Good to know that this 3 week break is now drawing to a close. And it looks like we got an [odd] mention on the http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BOxRHy3t-Wc/TwYaO7Jb00I/AAAAAAAAaVk/NhG9bW5YRK4/s1600/enhanced-buzz-9187-1325717655-22.jpg, is there a major news outlet we haven't touched?

Also in regards to R34 I don't really care (rather apathetic in that regard) because hey it happens but we might want to avoid that line of discussion given that this is still a 13+ age forum as per the rules. Rather not see us and by extent our threads get in trouble (just saiyan). Also we gone through another thread; you guys are making it kinda hard to keep and this is during the break. :bonk:

Unicornia!

I think I have to name that episode my favorite of the series. I've been tempted to watch it again ever since I watched it on New Years.

Fun fact: It's written by the "newbie", Merriwether Williams, who also wrote Mysterious Mare Do Well, which is still a fine episode but perhaps my least favorite of the new season.

If Daniel Ingram doesn't win an Emmy I would gave to scream

Listen to ping songs the listen to the popular "good" music of today.

One plays songs that have a purpose, tell stories, and are well written, to the point of being Broadway musical worthy, the others have simple repetitive melodies and are mostly about partying, getting/being wasted, having six/being sixy or being Lady GaGa.
