Agreed. And I'm a Brony online only, since there is literally no one I know in real life that is a fan of the show. -SkarYes, BZP is a pony outlet for most bronies. From what I see, most bronies are tolerant to (reasoned) ideas of others. If someone says, "Oh, that's girly, it's stupid you watch a girls' show," of course we'll be bit mad.

Granny Smith is still alive, so I assume they couldn't have died naturally. Unless... CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Equestria!

Unless you're Dutch, then it comes naturally. Or speek Spanish, German, or, really quite a few other languages. I was actually responding to a post higher up, FTR. Also, technically neither Lehrakh nor Lehvak refer to the Element of Air, but rather to poison and acid, respectively--which I'm certain is what caused some of the confusion. ~ BioGioI'm aware, which is why I mentioned them separately.

I have seen some harsh criticism from both bronies and non-bronies, but more from anti-bronies. Really, I'm okay with criticism as long as: a. They have at least tried to watch an episode.b. When they have watched the episode, they have criticism beyond "it's girly."c. They respect that bronies will use brony avvies and banners. I'm more of a brony online because there's not a lot of people in real life I know enough to talk about it with.

I've met autistics. We're not as related as people say. This merger is just a bunch of NTs saying "Hmm, they both aren't social. Let's clump them together!"

I didn't care for Past Sins, myself. There were too many references to existing episodes, and I didn't feel like everyone was written in character. But not being a fan of fanfiction, I have no alternative suggests. Although I do somewhat enjoy 'Friendship is Gaming' (or is it 'Magic of Gaming? 'Gaming is Magic'? Something like that).YES. Waiting for that Mass Effect chapter to come out. I dunno, I kinda like it. Romantically pairing characters that generally have no business being romantically paired.Hey, some ships make sense. Like this one. +1 Internet Depends on the relationship IMO. CaraMac is bleh, but FlutterPie is d'awwwful. Anything with Celestia and Luna is kinda iffy, considering they're more than 1000 years old and will probably live on long after whoever they're getting shipped with has died, with the sole exception of Discord. LunaxAbacus and SmartyMac are still best ships though.CelestCord!

And to think, all Twilight Sparkle wants is to share the magic of friendship with you.

Chapter 6 Gahara entered through the left door in Niddhota’s fortress. The Agori Tarduk, Niddhota’s scribe, stood in the corner. Gahara entered with several Vorox, for protection, as he always did. “It is a pleasure to see you again,” the Element Lord of Jungle said, making no effort to hide the contempt in his voice. “You know what I’m here for,” the Sand Lord hissed. “Our tribes have been at a stalemate in the forest of Bara Magna for over a month. We’re both losing, so we need a solution to who owns that land.” “That’s right. I have a proposal which would enable us conjoined control of it, and also maybe block some southerners from reaching the north. It has a schedule on who controls the land, and we-” “Actually, I had another idea,” Gahara said. As he snapped his claws, two more Vorox came in carrying a tied up Jungle fighter, a ripe Thornax gagging him. “You are sick,” Niddhota said. He recognized the warrior as Gresh, a boy too young to fight in the war. “No Element Lord is cruel enough to drag the innocent into this. We all agreed only those who fight will be captured.” “I’ll give him back if you just give the forest control to the Sand Tribe,” Gahara said. Niddhota saw Gresh’s eyes pleading for freedom. “Fine,” Niddhota decided. He turned to Tarduk and said, “Relay the message. Pull all troops from the forest.” ---- Niddhota looked at the two scrolls in his hand. When trading for Gresh, he pondered offering the scrolls in exchange for Gresh and going through with conjoined ownership of the forest. He decided they were still too important. Propaganda had overtaken Spherus Magna as to their origins, ensured by the Ice Tribe to keep everyone on the wrong trail. The majority of the Fire Tribe believed both maps were fakes and didn’t want either. The Water Tribe, not trusting Berix but trusting the word of their head general, were mostly clueless about them. Niddhota had reluctantly decided to keep his possession of the scrolls a strict secret between himself and Tarduk. The Jungle Tribe was mostly left in the dark. The Element Lord of Rock took a similar approach with his Skrall, although they were more… creative. Most Skrall believed that the scrolls were embedded with great power, and were pressuring the Element Lord to send them out for it. He was considering it, for he, despite creating one map, did not know where they actually were. The Vorox didn’t care what they were, but had formed various rumors among themselves anyway. “Niddhota, what are we to do with the troops?” Tarduk said. “And the scrolls?” “We shall use the true map and claim the Great Substance!” Niddhota proclaimed, raising his fist. “How? Tell our men ‘march into the Northern Frost!’ and not tell them how we know where to go?” Tarduk said, somewhat critically. “You’re right,” Niddhota said. “We will wait. But, when the time is right, Spherus Magna will belong to the Jungle Tribe!” ---- Not a week after handing the forest over, Niddhota, of course, went back on his word and sent his entire Jungle army back to the forest, taking the Vorox by storm. A Water Tribe battalion, led by Jekkedio, also arrived, and they attacked. After it all, the Lord of Jungle himself was surveying the area for survivors. He had seen that Field Commander Vastus had designed a crude trap which contained various members of the Sand and Water Tribes inside a deep pit. “Marvelous work, Vastus,” Niddhota praised. “Thank you,” Vastus said proudly. “But what shall become of the prisoners? Jekkedio takes prisoners of war personally, and everyone knows Vorox never talk, even when threatened with death.” Niddhota looked at the sparsely leafed trees which surrounded him. He then closed his eyes and felt the power of jungle flowing through him, strong as ever. “I have a very interesting idea,” he declared, smiling at the thought of a Forest of Blades. Review

Chapter 6 As she walked, Kiquis couldn’t help but feel like an outsider. It was a feeling she detested. Within the Fire Tribe, she was accepted and well-liked. In this mysterious jungle, she was just a face in the crowd, and a face which stuck out like a sore claw at that. The “crowd” she stuck out in consisted solely of herself, the ambitious Iron Agori called Nukoa, and a Jungle warrior named Trigja acting as their navigator. She found comfort knowing none of them were very popular here. The closest was Trigja, being a Jungle native, although the only experience he actually had in this portion of the forest was a mysterious “bridge project” he partook in many years ago. Nukoa was another case altogether. He was of the Iron Tribe, which meant he wasn’t a people person. Quiet, irritable, and self-absorbed, some tribes only stayed in alliance with his tribe because of their unbeatable skill with metalworking. Kiquis, however, tried to see the good in every one, even Nukoa. The Iron Agori seemed to have a soft spot for her, although he wouldn’t admit it. Besides, his armor was jagged, rocky, and had the strong colors of black and yellow. Kiquis’ was smooth, curved, and carried the gentle hues of orange and red. “We’ve been here before,” Nukoa said, irritated, as he stopped walking. “I recognize that tree.” “How can you recognize a tree? They all look the same,” Trigja said. “I can’t even tell one tree from another, and I live here!” “I just do,” Nukoa said. Trigja looked around, and he still couldn’t tell one tree from another. “Well, which way do you say we go?” he asked, angry. “I say…” Nukoa said, searching his mind for some memory which may tell where to go. “I thought so,” Trigja said. Then, turning the direction they were going, he proclaimed, “We go on this way!” The trio continued. Nukoa cursed to himself as he proceeded. In the recent days of traveling, he had felt he was losing his authority. True, he wasn’t a leader naturally, but this whole thing was his idea, wasn’t it? And it was his map he found. He feared that, should he be replaced as leader, his share of the treasure may be cut. Kiquis, on the other hand, was remembering the other three members of their convoy, who had been lost. First was Verdana, a woman who seemed to have more secrets than the forest had trees. Next to fall was Takkai, a cheerful Jungle Agori. Trigja seemed particularly saddened by his death, and Kiquis could here him mumble at night about how he could have saved him. Finally, Telluris was lost not too long ago. He wasn’t dead (not to their knowledge, that is), just teleported away to… somewhere. They sent him through a teleportation machine to see if it worked. Nukoa instantaneously decided it wasn’t worth knowing right after he disappeared. Kiquis wondered about the Iron fighter. “Nukoa,” she asked, “what do you think happened to Telluris?” “Who cares?” Nukoa said tastelessly. “Nobody liked the freak anyway.” “That’s not true!” Kiquis cried. “Really?” the Iron Agori said. “Who here liked him?” “Um, nobody,” the translator said. “But maybe I did!” Nukoa looked at her blankly. “Did you?” “Well, I didn’t dislike him,” Kiquis said. “But I didn’t really like him, either,” she admitted. Nukoa was about to say something, but a group of tan entities surrounded them, holding force blasters. “Not good…” Nukoa said, backing into the group as the tan ones hissed at him. Review

Well, she is Celestia's little sister. On shipping, I haven't read many fanfics, so I can't comment accurately. I also think the lack of male characters might make heterosexual shipping hard.

Well, you at least have the Official Unofficial Master Inika Approval of Aspieship. Welcome!

With Lerahk, Lehvak, and all derivatives of "Le-" referring to the element of air are officially "lay." Funny story, when I first got into BIONICLE, I said "leaf-wa." Then Mask of Light came out, and I started saying "lee," but it's "lay" now.

Actually, if you train in Stamina enough, you can catch a Takea with just one breathe of air.

BIONICEPTION! I don't have the Exo-Toa myself, but Mata Nui it looks awesome. You people only make me want it more!

I think that Rainbow Dash is very loyal. In the episode with Gilda, it's shown she is capable of longtime friendships (albeit not always with the right people). And, in the episode's end, we learn she has matured to recognize Gilda's unpleasantness and stood by Pinkie Pie and the others. I think she's comparable to Matau: thrill-seeking and sometimes short-sighted, but a true friend overall.

The things most people cite for MLP's success with males is the animation style and voice acting, and the depth of the characters and storyline. Personally, I think what initially draws us to it is its how much it goes against stereotypical male culture we are indoctrinated to adhere to, and what keeps us there is how awesome it actually is.

I remember a (minor) glitch a I faced in the BioMedia Project version, where the music wouldn't play during Mahi Herding. Without the epic music, you realize how mundane it is. Lol.

Chapter 5 Nukoa, Kiquis, Trigja, and Telluris all sprinted out of the giant worm nest. “Is everyone out?” Nukoa asked, trying to catch his breathe. “Takkai!” Trigja shouted, turning back. They could hear the Jungle Agori scream in terror back in the nest. “We have to get him!” Trigja said, holding his blade shield offensively. Kiquis put her hand on his shoulder, trying to hold him back. Suddenly, acid started seeping through the dirt as the sound of Takkai’s struggle ended. “Uh, let’s not,” Nukoa said, taking a step back from the acidic ground. Looking sadly at his fallen ally’s final resting place, Trigja continued through the forest with his friends. “That was… eventful,” Telluris said. Trigja looked at the Iron fighter with sorrowful eyes. “It was horrible!” he said. “Takkai was my friend, and now he’s lost.” “I’m sorry for your loss, but we need to go on,” Nukoa said. “Kiquis, how close are we?” “The Magna Terah should be…” Kiquis started, searching herself for the map. “Uh, Nukoa, have you seen the map?” “I, um, gave it to Takkai,” Nukoa said. “So, we’re lost?” Telluris asked. “Yes,” Nukoa said. “I say we go this way,” he added, pointing the way they were going. “It’s got to be better than what is behind us.” After a short while of walking, they reached another obstacle. It was not a creature, or a weapon, but a gateway. “This was another part of the bridge project, done by the Great Beings. It’s called the Wish of Desire. It’s supposed to work with teleportation, but I don’t know the specifics,” Trigja said. “Who goes through first?” Nukoa asked. “I call not it!” Trigja said. Nukoa leaned back on a tree. “I’m the leader here, so I guess I’m exempt.” Kiquis and Telluris looked at each other, uncomfortable. “Telluris, why don’t you go?” Nukoa said, not wanting to lose Kiquis. The Iron warrior hesitantly stepped to the gate. Swallowing nervously, he stepped through, and… he was gone! “Where did he go?” Kiquis asked, worried. “He’ll be fine,” Trigja said. “I forget exactly where it sends you, but it’s not anything dangerous.” “Well, there goes Verdana, Takkai, and Telluris,” Nukoa said. “Well, technically, Telluris isn’t dead, but it’s all the same.” Then, lost and confused, the three remaining teammates continued through the forest.

Nope. An Aspie is born an Aspie.

Chapter 5 Paakio dodged a swing from Jekkedio’s axe, and then took aim with his Thornax launcher. However, Tarix kicked him in the back onto the floor. But Paakio leapt right back up and punched Tarix in the mouth. As Jekkedio went to fight Avvita, who was using some sort of psychic powers, the two field commanders continued trading blows. In the back, Berix had supplies ready for whenever one of his own was harmed or lost a weapon. It happened often, and he had already been forced to replace both of Tarix’s water blades and the tsunami axe wielded by Jekkedio with a smaller axe. “Stop!” a voice boomed with the force of one thousand. The six stopped their combat and stood up. The voice came from all around, but no speaker could be seen. Suddenly, though, the mist in the room started pulling itself together to form an entity. Before his formation was done, he took a rug from the floor and cast it over himself as a cloak. As it finished, only a metal hand bearing a staff and two glowing eyes were visible. It was a Great Being. “Give me the maps,” the Great Being ordered. Nobody moved, overwhelmed by nervousness. “Give me the maps!” the Great Being shouted again. Berix scrambled and handed him the maps with the Ice Tribe and Rock Tribe insignias. “There’s a story behind both the maps. Avvita might like to explain, since she knows it best,” Jekkedio said. If the commoners saw the Great Being’s expression, they would have cringed. “I know how the maps were made!” the Great Being snapped, reading each one carefully. “You make me sick. Treachery countered by treachery. Is thievery and fighting your answer to everything?” “Great Being, with all due respect, we are merely doing what is necessary to attain what is rightfully ours!” Paakio said patriotically. “So, the only way to get what you want is to live and kill like bone hunters?” the Great Being questioned. “The bone hunters kill just to kill, with no purpose. But not the Fire Tribe,” Paakio said passionately. “We kill with honor! We kill for our nation!” “You kill for greed. You are a disgrace to Spherus Magna,” the Great Being sneered. “I give up. You are a lost cause. Fight on for this ‘Great Substance,’ which is quickly becoming the ‘Destroying Substance,’ all you wish,” he concluded. With that, his body dispersed into mist, and the mist soared out of the window. Jekkedio and Ackar reached for the scroll maps, but found that they had disappeared. They did not know if it was by the force of the Great Being or not, but decided it was not worth challenging him. “Well, I’m heading back home,” Avvita said. “I think I’ve given my share of revelations today,” With that, the female Skrall left through the wooden door. Berix, Tarix, and Jekkedio headed for Aqua Magna, while Ackar and Paakio went for their homeland. After the six left, Tarduk poked his head out of the secret hatch he was in. He bore both scrolls in his hands and good news in his mind for his Element Lord, Niddhota. Feeling proud yet somewhat guilty for his uncharacteristic treachery, Tarduk went down the secret hatch and took the tunnel back to Niddhota’s fortress. ---- Far south from the conference room, in the vicinity of Bara Magna, the Element Lord of Sand stared disapprovingly at his Zesk gatherer. “And the mission failed?” the Element Lord hissed. “I am sorry, mighty Gahara, the Vorox you sent…” the Zesk mumbled, although his voice trailed off as he realized his mistake. The Element Lord’s eyes showed the rage of a sandstorm. “What in the Great Beings’ names did you call me?” the Sand Lord raged. To the Lord of Sand, being called his real name, Gahara, was a sin of unforgivable nature. His life as a Vorox was a hard one until that faithful day the Great Beings truly made him one with the Great Barren. “The brigade sent for the reported Ice Tribe map failed,” the Zesk whispered, trying to change the subject. “Understand this, sand mite,” the Element Lord of Sand growled. “Gahara is dead. He died the day I was born.” The Zesk hastily scampered off to check up on the Vorox camps down south near Aqua Magna. Anything was better that his Lord’s insane rage. Like the desert itself, his leader was unpredictable and could strike out at anything. Nobody ever knew what was just beneath his surface. Review

Oh, you were joking. I knew that.

You, sir, are awesome.

In the beginning of Applebuck Season, some cattle talk. @Field Marshal RMN: I think you're jumping to conclusions a little bit. Ponies are, obviously, the most plentiful species in Equestria. There is very little insight in other animals. While cattle are herded, it might not be for the same reason humans do it (I am yet to see any ponies eating burgers; just sweets like cookies and ice cream, and fruits and vegetables). There's not much else to think other races have less rights.

Internet jokes, pretty much. Like the Forever Alone Guy, Good Guy Greg, Scumbag Steve, Philosoraptor, etc. MLP:FiM magic is a pretty popular meme.

Okay, I will. If I wrote it and put it on another website, who would read it?
