The tier list (post image is my personal tier list, but feel free to post your own!): https://tiermaker.com/create/my-little-pony-equestria-girls---movies-specials-15441096

To recap, here is a list of the Equestria Girls movies and specials to rank:

2013-2016 Movies:
Equestria Girls 1
Rainbow Rocks
Friendship Games
Legend of Everfree

2017 Half-Hour Episodes:
Dance Magic
Movie Magic
Mirror Magic

2018-2019 TV Movies:
Forgotten Friendship
Rollercoaster of Friendship
Spring Breakdown
Sunset’s Backstage Pass
Holidays Unwrapped

Note that since Hasbro no longer cares about youtube uploads for G4 MLP, all the Equestria Girls movies/specials can all be watched here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNmbST1519bJ4KsMIP2FqBGnZVIUkWZgk

Feel free to express your own opinions and rank all these yourself! Below is my personal ranking and opinions on all of these from worst to best.

12: Equestria Girls 1 - Sunset is an awful villain, the plot is completely incoherent and stupid (Sunset's plan was total nonsense, there was no reason for Twilight and Sunset to not just steal the crown, battle at end made little sense), plot was very uninteresting and by the books, setting was totally boring, the songs were mostly crap (with 1 obvious exception), very little of consequence happens throughout most of the movie. It is redeemed by Twilight's charming dynamic with Spike and the other characters, but it’s still a very weak movie that has nothing else going for it.

11: Rollercoaster of Friendship - It had the same basic plot as Mirror Magic, but both twice as long and much less interesting/well written in every way. The villain was just kind of nasty and annoying this time around rather than very hammy or funny,. The pacing was the worst it was out of any EQG stuff, a huge chunk of it was just the characters vibing around the amusement park. Which was charming, but its content would have been much better suited for the EQG shorts. And the redemptions are getting absurd, and it's really stupid how this is now the 4th EQG special in a row that redeemed its villain. And this is by far the worst and most forced example of it yet. She had no redeeming values shown beforehand at all, and it was explicitly made clear that she had no issue killing a bunch of people just to replace them to make her show better.

10: Dance Magic - Not particular interesting or memorable in any way, although it's alright to watch.
(1/4)

What if Anon was BETRAYED by Equestrian society and TRAPPED in Fluttershy's sex dungeon?

Discord realizes Anon has feelings for Fluttershy and agrees to be his undercover wingman to help him win her over. Hijinks ensue.

AI Art Thread #32

Backends:

>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix
This is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.

For models not through the in-built downloader just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint...)

>https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge
Faster / more efficient version of Automatic1111 with some helpful extensions built-in. I would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.

>Stable Diffusion Automatic1111
https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui
The original for posterity's sake.

>ComfyUI
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
Has a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.

Models:

>Pony Diffusion V6 XL checkpoint for Stable Diffusion
https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl?modelVersionId=290640

>Autism Mix (Alternative model based upon pony diffusion, I prefer the DPO version of it. Better anatomy / more coherent.)

Further advice

>Prompt tips for new users:
Grab a image you like the style of from the desired model's citvia's site and drop it onto the PNG info tab in SD, you can then click send to text to image to reuse its generation info for your own images. Change the seed so you do not get just the same image. For tags on e621 use underscores between multi word prompts.

I’m taking Fluttershy with me to therapy tomorrow. What does that say about me on a psychological level?

This is the general thread for the alternative fan sites of the My Little Pony fandom. Discussion, development suggestions, and criticisms are all welcome here.

oops it dieded edition

>Why alternate boorus?
Recent changes to Derpibooru have made the site a less than ideal location for pony fan art. So, several new boorus have arisen to provide alternatives. Many of the altbooru owners post in thread and listen to questions and comments from anons. Note that this is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts about Derpibooru in the thread on mlpg.co.

>Why alternate text sites?
Pastebin.com has deleted, and continues to delete, greentexts on the site. FimFiction does not allow stories in the greentext format, so a new home is needed.
