and where did stoker and wilde go to college? eh??? ehhh????? prendergast = death eater sounds about right too

Patrick Prendergast is totally a death eater, have you ever seen in him in real life? There’s nothing behind the eyes.

if you go along with the diamonds being fusions, maybe rose was a part of the diamond fusion, rather than just being pink diamond herself

Could be possible! Maybe her and... Bismuth!?

what is culchie shopping day? i've never heard of it before. from the name i understand its people from the country coming up to the big shmoke, but why that specific date? Also yeah watch out for pick pockets, my wallet got nabbed on D'Olier street, like right across the street from the gardi

Aw that’s shite, hope there wasn’t too much in it!The 8th of December is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and while it’s not a public holiday as such, most, if not all, Catholic primary and secondary schools close on that day. Means that there can be a day out without missing school and whatnot.

I don’t know, I’ll have to ask the school board! We have to save up for our class trip to visit a better english teacher, after all

I'm partial to the term 'plastic irish'

I like it.

I'm actually really glad that you watch MLP! It's a really good show with such good lessons for kids but bronies totally ruined it for kids and the rest of us and now it's seen as super weird to watch it and it makes me sad.

Yeah, I don’t know, I’m really conflicted about that whole subject. On the one hand, the fandom has bloated into something so grotesquely large, I wouldn’t be surprised if its harming the actual target audience’s ability to enjoy the thing. On the other hand, I feel like “hating bronies” has become the new “hating furries” - judging an absolutely massive amount of people by the actions of a vocal minority and making it “cool” and “morally correct” to loathe all these different people based purely on the fact that they happen to like the same cartoon.

It could be argued that “normal” fans wouldn’t call themselves bronies, but the thing is, chill, harmless fans do do that. Not everyone is aware of the consequences of labeling an unintended audience in that way. Not everyone is informed. I used to have a bunch of fellow MLP-fans as friends (of all genders), who gladly called themselves bronies, just because they thought it was cute. They weren’t hyper-obsessed or did weird shit at cons, they just doodled art of cute ponies and had a song or two on their phones. Normal fan things.

I don’t know. I haven’t visited the fandom since season 2 wrapped up, so I don’t know what’s going on over there. But I’m hesitant about condemning such a massive amount of people just because they’re uninformed and have become generalized according to their least likable members. Things are rarely so black-and-white, in my experience.

As for the show itself, yeah, it’s super cute! I love the characters so much. And the art style is gorgeous, there’s some gr8 design choices going on. To be honest, I own way too much merchandise for my own good, I don’t even really use it or display it or anything, I just wanna own it. It’s all locked away in a box under my bed, but I need it just in case

(you hear that, CN, people hoard stupid shit because the creators paint the likeness of things those people are emotionally attached to on the stupid shit - you should get in on that)

i would be perfectly ok if they raised trinity tuition in order to create designated tourist lanes on campus. I NEED TO GET TO CLASS WITHOUT FIGHTING THROUGH A TOUR GROUP OF NON ENGLISH SPEAKERS

Seconded. I’d live on a beans on toast budget very happily for that.
