Oldest transcribed musical piece in the world. Formerly obscure. Engraved on a Greek tombstone in honor of a dead wife. Hauntingly beautiful.

And Hank Green "covered it", butchered it, and compared it to #YOLO for views, making it popular among the plebeians.

MLP is a holy myth of transcendent pastoral neopaganism. S1 is my preferred religion.

S1 was mythologically inspired.

What differentiates S1 from the rest of the seasons can be seen in the intro S1E1 where the origin story of Equestria is described.

It is a moment of mythic power, as the ancients had.

It's a show about females participating in a collectively feminized society with lingo and gestures derived from modern day mimetics. The only thing antiquity about it are the occasional references.

means you have no argument.

The setting of S1 is a fusion of European feudalism and Greek/European mythology. The ponies themselves have godlike powers that they're named after.

It's a sincere celebration of Western civilization. Of course, then Faust left.

>> No.6794653

>>6794616
I don't entirely disagree, S1 was the best. But being a 'celebration of Western Civilization' is a little stunted with the ideas of friendship conquering any idea of individual glory and a subtle female superiority. Males were never portrayed with any depth, they appeared more as second-class citizens. Modernism also pervaded in many quirks of personality and moral factors.

Under what circumstances would they fuck? like how bad would it have to be before they decided to experiment with each other's bodies.

scenario 1
the government feeds them aphrodisiac amphetamines and locks thme in a cold room, they stay cose to maintain body heat and the friction from their energetic bouncing gives them boners and then hank bangs John's asshole

scenario 2
they're hiking in the himilayas and their sherpa is convinced that he is owed a debt by society (John had a talk with him) so the sherpa abandons them as they're cis white males and without a way home and running low on supplies they huddle together to maintain body heat and the closeness stimulates them sexually so john uses some of his precious moisture to suck hanks dick

Reminder that if you're bashing his work, you're nothing but a pretentious shrill child, infuriated at his success, thinking your opinion is worth more than the consensus.
