The matrix of leadership from my Master Piece Ultra Magnus.  

FUCKING YEAH! 

Lesse, notable things to my right include files (IIRC, related to work and looking for work), a clock, and a book that I think was partly about Buddhism that I got started a while back, that I've been meaning to get back to and finish probably for years.  That might work for me.

So new Ep of MLP... and as far as I can tell (with out spoilers), 1,000 years ago Equestria was not a nice place o.o

[HoagieOfDoom]

The item to my right is a http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/849.

Yes, I think I can deal with that. Yes indeed.

So new episode. I rather liked it. But I think what's going to be on everyone's mind as the season goes on is

Spoiler

Celestia and Luna's cryptic comments about Twilight being "ready" for something.

Also there's a season preview commercial clip floating around out that there that has some stuff from upcoming episodes in it, including too many Pinkie Pies, itty-bitty-filly versions of Applejack and Rarity and actual horses. Or at least they look like it.

Fluttershy is best Ent.

So here's a question.

Was I the only person that got a slight Sailor Moon vibe off the 3rd season premier?

[Jorlem]

So here's a question.

Was I the only person that got a slight Sailor Moon vibe off the 2 season premier?

Probably.  Discord didn't really seem like a Sailor Moon type villain, and the plot wasn't really that similar. 
The season 3 premier, on the other hand...

Yeah, I've seen some comparisons, but I don't really see it, myself.

*edits post* stupid ass meds. >.>

But when I saw the Crystal empire, all I could think was "Crystal Tokyo is in Equestria?"

[dark seraph]

[Jorlem]

A crystal city on the moon? Seems familiar, somehow...

Pinky..as a Redshirt? Apocalypse sign!

[Star Ranger4]

Worse than that... I think she's supposed to be Scotty. Truely a Mane Six sign of the Apocolypse

[Jorlem]

Yup.  Pinkie is Scotty.  Given how many times Scotty was called on to do the nigh impossible, I think she'd do a good job.

Full lineup:

Spoiler

Capt. Rainbow Dash - Captain of the Ship (Kirk)
Cdr. Twilight Sparkle - Chief Science Officer & First Officer (Spock)
Lt. Cdr. Pinkie Pie - Chief of Engineering (Scotty)
Lt. Cdr. Fluttershy - Chief Medical Officer (McCoy)
Lt. Rarity - Communications Officer (Uhura)
Lt. Applejack - Helm (Sulu)

Yeah that's what I figured. I wasn't quite sure for Applejack, but the alternative would have required her to come from Stalliongrad. 8)

If Rainbow Dash is a "Flying" Captain, she helms her own ship. Applejack is chief of security (or the Captains, Yoemare) and keeps all the paperwork done and ready for the Captain to sign. And keeps the bridge supplied with Cider, and such.

So while on a live stream, showed an artist my Human ponies pic, they seemed to like it and suggested a group shot.
So when an Artist that is better than me likes my stuff and makes a suggestion like that, who am I to disagree? 
Also let me do some redesigns
PS: Rarity’s hair is evil to draw >.

[darwithe]

Hmm I'd have to double check from earlier to be sure but I'd say subtle improvements across the board. 

Pinkie's hair bugs me, probably because it covers waay too much of her face compared to the pony version, Twilight's arm... yeah I don't think elbows bend that direction normally. 

Hands: I'm seeing a big general improvement from what I remember, Twilight's and Rarity's are well done, and Fluttershy's are pretty decent, Pinkie's aren't bad, but not quite passing either, as for Applejack's her fingers are generally good but the thumb positioning makes it look a bit wrong and as a result it looks really uncomfortable. 
Assuming her fingers are bent and concealed at the 2nd knuckle the thumb is probably about twice as far back as it should be. As a generic rule the distance from 1st knuckle of index finger to base of thumb should be about the same as the distance between 1st and 2nd knuckle of middle finger.

[dark seraph]

Hands have always been my weakness, as for twilights arm, I only realized how bad I flubed it after I finished inking it (I ink by hand, so realy hard to photoshop it better)
