Brief Introduction

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a reboot of the MLP franchise by Powerpuff Girls artist Lauren Faust, currently viewed by (almost) the entire Internet, not only the intended audience. Here is a place where we discuss the joy of friendship.

> My Little Pony? Seriously?

It's a clever show. It has excellent writing, character dynamics, humor, animation, and generally treats kids seriously rather than condescending to them. It has every right to be a 20 minute corporate committee designed infomercial, but it's not.

> Isn't this a show for little girls?

Pixar technically makes shows for little boys, and produce some of the best animation in the world.

> Okay, fine. I'll give it a try. Where do I start?

No Brony could ask for more. I recommend watching the episodes in order. They're all up on Youtube. Unusually, Hasbro seems fine with having the entire series up in public because they've made no move to bring down any of the episodes. Search for "Friendship is Magic Episode 1" and you should find the series pretty easily... Or search for "Sharing is Magic" Google Doc. That is all.

> Okay, I'm going to watch it but this had better live up to the hype!

Whoa, calm down there. The show is light hearted, optimistic fun but it's not for everyone. It's good fun, the community is good fun, and everyone can do with a reminder that friendship is magic but if it doesn't gel for you we'll love and tolerate you anyway. Plus, you might hit the wrong episode. Ask first?

> Iron Hoof/Fan Theories/Shipping/Binding

All in good fun! If it's not your cup of tea, skim it, but this show has triggered a great creative outpouring from the Internet. Pony themed fan-art is abundant and often excellent. See below for some examples.

> Derpy Hooves/Doctor Whoof

Two minor background characters who were adopted as emblems of 4chan. Derpy Hooves is so named due to an animation error in the first episode that had her eyes facing in different directions; 4chan has assigned her the role of Ponyville's mailpony, and her only line so far has been "Muffins". The show's animators are aware of Derpy's popularity and she's shown up a few times recently with her eyes obviously derped. Currently made canon in Feeling Pinkie Keen and in Faust's picture showcased below, Derpy was deemed important enough to appear in storyboards for Season II.

Dr. Whoof is a pony with an hourglass cutie mark; he and his kin save time and space very quietly off camera.

[I]Phoe In Ropes is now a thing. Wanna draw something? Tie me up. Have a story to write? Work it in as an easter egg. Want it to be the main focus? Wonderful! I want to see enough material by Thread XI for white pegasus ponies bound in ropes or shackles or what have you to make it the official theme of the thread. Got it? Good!


***


[B]ATTENTION EVERYPONY!!!

Great & Powerful Trixie made a bet. A bet I'll procure 12 pictures of Trixie - like the one in my sig, of similar quality - before next weekend. Trixie cosplaying, doing weird stuff, finding herself in unusual situations. So! I need ideas! Sketches of Unicorn ponies (I'm willing to vectorize them for free if they're good enough)! Moments from the show showing ponies with unusual poses and/or designs I could use to inspire myself! Finally, if someone would also like to draw something, I'd be glad to repay in some manner :P

Any takers? :smalltongue:

...how is this a pun?

It's a play on words, which I (apparently) foalishly thought was close enough. But close only counts in horseshoes and hoof grenades.

As for ponified California, I'm fond of Gallopfornia. If you say it right, they're almost the same.

No problem! I just hope you'll give mine a good look once-



*eyes my in-progress Lunafic :smalleek:*

Look! A distraction!

*casually brushes under carpet*

I wasn't talking about yours. Really. You gave her PERSONALITY. She was trying to rule but wasn't being treated with respect, so she was having to wrestle with her desire to put them in their place Nightmare Moon style.

My frustration is more with the combination of badfics that I have to read and reject for ED and the fact that having Luna in your fic seems like the fastest way to get a 5 star.

Occasionally I seriously consider doing my ultimate pander-fic

"Luna falls in love with Derpy and Dinky is sad as a result."

Just to see how it's received.

*pops in, turns into a pony again*

Okay, I really need to get used to that.

Then I'll also leave this here for you too. The beginning to chapter two for your commenting pleasure.
** --KH FanFic Chapter 2--
** --Part 1 of ?--
Sora felt something licking his cheek. It was warm and moist. He opened his eyes and saw that a dog was licking his cheek. The dog was brown and white with a collar around his neck. Its tag read 'Herds'. Sora opened his mouth and a large key fell out. It seemed familiar. It had a handle and the key part looked like a crown. He gave a wary look at the dog and said, "Where did you come from, boy?"
The dog gave a happy bark and ran off. Sora got up quickly and chased after him.*
"Wait!" he yelled, galloping after him. He galloped through the alley, eventually ending up at a shop. It was labeled 'Cid's Store'. He pushed the door in cautiously, and saw a grumpy looking tan coated pony at the counter. He had spiky blond hair with a pair of goggles. He moved the toothpick in his mouth around impatiently. He noticed Sora at the door and spoke.
"What'cha need, kid?" he asked.
"I'm not a kid, gramps." retorted Sora.
"I am not that old!" said the pony angrily, "If you aren't here to buy something, get out!"
"Where am I?" asked Sora.
"Oh, you're new around here, huh? You're in Traverse Town, kid. It's where most ponies go when their world is destroyed. The currency here is Muney." explained the pony, "And I'm Cid."
"What's Muney?" asked Sora.
CID took out a large golden orb.
"This is a Muney Orb. You press them into your Muney Pouch and they stay safe in there."
"Woah, so you can just pull them out whenever?"
"Yup! All the stores here use Muney. Here, since you just got here you should take this." Cid handed him a bracelet with intricate designs on it. Sora put it on his arm.
"What does it do?" he asked.
"It makes you tougher." replied Cid, "Now get out of my shop!" he pushed Sora out onto the streets. Sora looked at the bracelet and then saw the dog from earlier disappear down an alley. He galloped after him and when he got to the alley the dog was gone. Sora looked around when suddenly, those pitch black ponies with the yellow eyes melted up from the ground. They closed in on him.
You have a weapon that can combat the heartless.....
Light began to meld into form around his mouth. It became that same key sword that he left in that alley before.
....The Keyblade.
Sora took the 'Keyblade' and sliced into the first 'Heartless'. The beast dissipated into darkness and dropped Muney.
"Oooo! Muney!" cries Sora, and he sliced into another Heartless. And another and another. He eventually beat them all and Muney was all over the place. Sora picked it up and put it into his Muney Pouch, he was now 300 Muney richer. He saw the dog walk into another alley and he gave chase once more. He found that the dog had once again managed to disappear on him. But this time, a tan unicorn wearing a leather bomber jacket and with a strange sword on his back came out of nowhere. The strange pony's mane fluttered a bit in the slight breeze, it was quite spiky.*
"Hello, Keybearer." said the strange pony.
"Key-what now?" said Sora.
"Give me the Keyblade, now!" commanded the pony.
"No! It's mine!" cried Sora, drawing the Keyblade that he thought was in his mouth still.
"Fine, then I'll just take it from you." said the pony, drawing his sword. It seemed to be a combination of a gun and a sword.*
Ten minutes later, Sora was uncoincess.

Some responses from last thread:


Or you're probably right. I suppose I could psychoanalyze things to an unnecessary degree, but it sounds like it mostly boils down to mikeejimbo liking Fluttershy. :smalltongue:

I can't deny that.


Not at all! You're just going through the next stage of the bronification process. Your subconscious is experiencing a sort of gag reflex, trying to purge the pony out of your system while you sleep. A futile gesture, but a perfectly natural one. Once they start popping up in your dreams, you've got a few days, a week at the most before the full integration is compleat, and the dreams should become more commonplace as your body reaches stable levels of pony.

Now, if you accidentally OD on pony before stability is reached, you may experience a few hallucinatory side effects. Nothing too bad, it's just the equivalent of your subconscious getting its stomach pumped. Which is to say, it will be bad, and you might start mistaking your friends and (former) colleagues as cast members. Should that happen...well, let's just say you should enjoy your stay in Equestria while it lasts.

Ah darn. I think I may be too late, since I have certainly not slowed down on the pony intake. If I call my boss Princess Celestia, I'll know. Also it'd be awkward because my boss is male.

So I have this weird idea to write a whole rap song featuring the main cast, plus Derpy. One thing that's slowing me down is that I don't have a rapper name for Rainbow Dash.

Twilight Sparkle: Twilight Spizarkle (she doesn't understand the whole rap thing)
Rarity: Rare I. T.
Applejack: MC Rapplejack
Fluttershy: Notorious C-U-T-E.

Last night I had a dream that I was looking for My Little Pony merchandise. And I found some, but then I was looking specifically for Fluttershy stuff, which they didn't have much of. I did find a Fluttershy sticker, though, and some wooden boxes with a more stylized representation of her on them. But I decided just to get the sticker. Then I found a penny, and on the tails side, instead of the Lincoln memorial, was Fluttershy.

Should I be worried?

nah, you'll be fine. Maybe one day, you'll realize that this is the dream, and truly, you are pony.


Because you have to pay rent and need food and clothing and the economy sucks?

Aye, that's true. I Should probably start lookin' into putting that MT degree to use though, or maybe sheriff training. Something that's actual, fulfilling work.

Of course, then I'd have more money for pony, but less time for pony. That's a hard choice...


This is actually the thread where I brought it up. I first discovered thorn when I was trying to learn some Old English, though that fell through...

I did find out later that Icelandic still uses it, and that Icelandic is surprisingly close to its Old Norse roots.

What resources were/are you using? Old Norse is on my 'to-do' list of learning, but I'm not going to learn anything other than some more English without someone to actually speak at in the proper way.


This is TOTALLY how Lyra runs. I'm sure of it.

Poor Lyra. She lives in a world inherited from the humans, and is he only one to realize it. She tries so hard to live by their spirit, but it makes her life terrible.


Yeah, I don't think I'd want to see her suddenly boosted up to a really huge role, but it would be nice to at least see her pop up occasionally, if only so that she could get a canon personality of her own established.

Aye.*


I did? When?

Well, I thought you did over the last day or two, but maybe not. My sense of time is, admittedly, nigh-crippled. It may have just been my perception.


*pops in, turns into a pony again*

Okay, I really need to get used to that.

*looks up at thread*

Uh, who's Dinky?

The fanon child of Ditzy Doo. Dinky Doo is a unicorn who, one day, wants to fly just like mommy.


"Luna falls in love with Derpy and Dinky is sad as a result, so she hatches a plan with Trixie for revenge. This plan will take place at the DJ-PON3 concert the following evening."

No, no. You have to keep it somewhat subtle.
Besides, now you're just being silly, rather than testing a hypothesis. Keep the variables to a minimum, since you won't be able to have a control set.

Lyra, on the other hand, is well aware of the existence of the fourth wall and the world beyond it. Nopony believes her rantings about a world of 'humans' who walk on two legs and slouch in chairs. Nopony believes that Equestria is actually all just an imaginary world created by these humans for amusement. But Lyra knows.

How the heck did she end up with a name like Roseluck, anyways?

Roseluck is the Gladstone Gander of Ponyville, her life, for the most part, an unending sequence of lucky events?

No more Guardalopolis? Poor guy only had the spotlight for half a thread before he vanished.

I have to wonder about all the ponies who get named something that is completely unrelated to their life/cutie mark. Like, one named Coconut Cream who turns out to be alergic to coconut and has a cutie mark in industrial construction.

[darthbobcat]

Oh right. Guardopolis.

... Eh, I'm happy to boost them both.

Edit: Maybe they change their names. I also think some of them go by nicknames (I don't think that Granny Smith's real first name is Granny by a long shot, though I do fully endorse the idea that this means that Applejack's full name is Applejack (insert human name here) Smith).

[the_druid_droid]

What resources were/are you using? Old Norse is on my 'to-do' list of learning, but I'm not going to learn anything other than some more English without someone to actually speak at in the proper way.


Well, I didn't have a whole lot of options, so when I tried to learn Old English, I was using a book (I know, I know; I really do channel Twilight Sparkle some days). I wish I could have taken a course on the subject, but there was no time. I never studied Old Norse particularly, but Old English is similar, thanks to the Danish occupation of Britain early on. Afraid I don't have much helpful advice, other than learning a declined language (assuming you speak english or similarly non-declined language as your first) is hard.


Silly filly, DJs aren't rap artists! Rap artists use more derogatory language about mares!

But...what if all the artists are mares?


Ah yeah. Living the dream.

I support you Lyra! I believe in you!

Maybe it has something to do with their hair color (not mane, the body). Maybe it has something to do with how their parents thought they would be a certain way when they named them. Maybe they didn't bother to change their name to suit their new circumstances. I don't know.

http://i.imgur.com/JmPL5.jpg

[mikeejimbo]

Maybe pony names subtly encourage/discourage them to certain pursuits? Like subconsciously, perhaps?

Or maybe a pony gets to pick a new name at her Cuteceañera?

[darthbobcat]

I pick Roseluck mostly because I think she has a legitimately beautiful design, in my opinion, and to the best of my knowledge no major fanfiction or fan theories about her.

Guardopolis, we know his tragic backstory, which I'll rewrite here.

Guardopolis, the son of wealthy businessponies Tom and Martha Opolis, had his childhood ended at age 8 when they were brutally arrowed down before his eyes in a back alley after a trip to the opera.

Guardopolis swore revenge and spent the next 20 years preparing himself physically and mentally, traveling the orient, learning science and turning himself into a grim warrior of the night. He returned to Canterlot ready to take back the night for the common pony.

And then he found out that there hadn't been a single major crime in all the years he'd been gone. So he joined Celestia's royal guard instead.

We know that he has a crush on Celestia (unknown if it's requited or not), and may possibly visit Luna's room on Thursday nights.

... It is now past midnight, I have work at 7 AM, I can't stop playing Winter Wrap-Up, and fanfiction ideas have taken form and are dancing around the room singing at the top of their lungs.

Someone help me.:eek:

I got this.

Step this way please, the pink one would like to have a word with you.

I dub her Muffin. Because that is the only name cutesy enough for her.

"Dinky, why does your mom keep looking at me?"

Unrelated, I want a PMV of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc3OnSQc48s&feature=related

Why of course the little filly has four parents! That's the exact number of cuteness engineers I put on her project...er, I mean...that's silly!

Four parents! What will you think of next?

[darthbobcat]

... two parents. Blues and Apple Cobbler. Midnight's genetic code is confusing enough.

"The third helix appears to be made of rainbow."

[Alabenson]

True, but he said cuteness weaponized, not cuteness converted into a weapon of mass destruction.

Nine parents.

Oh, fine. Just two then... razzinfrazzin falcons making me be reasonable

[darthbobcat]

"Muffin, you aren't allowed to go to Pinkie's parties anymore. She plays too rough."

"But Moooooom."

"You listen to your mother, Muffin. You shouldn't come back from a party with a neck brace. What was she thinking, randomly cartwheeling into her? Can I get you anything, honey?"

"Just play me something on your saxomophone."

(twitch) "Yes. On my saxophone."

[the_druid_droid]

"Muffin, you aren't allowed to go to Pinkie's parties anymore. She plays too rough."

"But it was awesome Mom! I met this cool pegasus named Scootaloo, and she's a filly like me!"

"Scootaloo? Is she the reason you tried to do a triple backflip off the roof of Sugarcube Corners?"

"Ummm...maybe..."

There is a fever of pony.
The cure? More pony.

[darthbobcat]

Just another day at The Apple Pit, Ponyville's only apple bakery and jazz/blues club. Come for the apple cobblers (the house specialty), stay for the music.

WHY DO I SUDDENLY FEEL THE NEED TO WRITE THIS SCENE IN A FANFIC?

[SiuiS]

Oh no. Oh no.

WHY DO I SUDDENLY FEEL THE NEED TO WRITE THIS SCENE IN A FANFIC?

It's the silly, Grif. It's metastasized to your independent processes. Every nerve and neuron is now a carrier of the silly gene.

I'd take off my hat out of respect, but... Well, you know.
*puts on an additional hat*

[darthbobcat]

Well, I know that the Apple Pit now exists in my ficworld. I just need an excuse to bring it up.

"Ah didn't know y'all liked this sort of music, Soarin."

"I didn't used to, but Highfly plays it constantly and I guess I became a fan by osmosis. Plus, the sign out front said they used 'Farm Fresnh Sweet Apple Acres Apples,' so I knew they were doing something right."

"Oh you flatterer."

"Flattery implies I don't mean it."

Spitfire: You two are TERRIBLE to double date with.

I have you know that I have a Lyra inner voice now.

Don't deny it... you love writing about ponies...

... Shut up.

Yeah. Woe is me.

[mikeejimbo]

Speaking of Fluttershy merchandise, is there any way to get a Fashion Fluttershy? I don't know why but I have this funny feeling...like an itch... a drive... to collect Fluttershy things.

[darthbobcat]

I have you know that I have a Lyra inner voice now.

Who does she sound like, considering she's never had a spoken word?

Also MORE COWBOY HATS. MORE.

Blues dancing is pretty romantic...time for Soarin's charm to really sweep AJ off her hooves.

EDIT: Also I must know, who do you pair with Spitfire DBC?

"Flattery implies I don't mean it."

Spitfire: You two are TERRIBLE to double date with. Don't you agree?

And I don't know. I honestly don't think of Spitfire much. She didn't leave much of an impression on me.

I feel like such an odd man out in this fandom. I never seem to like the popular ones.

[Grif]

Kinda like Twilight and Dash mixed together. :smalleek:

Ha, cowboy hats seemed to work. It stopped.

It's ok, I only really paid attention to her once all the fanfics started popping up. That's actually why I asked, my fanon is still in 'survey' mode with her.

[darthbobcat]

Yeah... I've never seen anyone make her interesting. She's kinda quiet and authoritative, which is the closest we have to an "in" with her character.

The fun background characters have quirks that you can extrapolate from (Soarin, Big Macintosh, Photo Finish, Braeburn, Carrot Top (sounds kind of ditzy, "We couldn't fit it all in"). With Spitfire... you have that she's Dash's idol, which is something we know about Dash, not her as a person.

Which means that she's more tabula rasa than Luna OR Derpy, despite having far more lines.

But when in doubt, she's there with Braeburn. Because everypony loves Braeburn.

Why did you edit your post? Your last response was so good too. :smallfrown:

[the_druid_droid]

Which means that she's more tabula rasa than Luna OR Derpy, despite having far more lines.

I can see your point. In a case like this, a part of me really wants to see an interpretation of her character that's in a completely different direction than existing fanon. Perhaps a fragile artiste?

[darthbobcat]

Why did you edit your post? Your last response was so good too. :smallfrown:

Because Fluttershy said

http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/darthbobcat/fluttershy-is-sad-n1299009571160.png

Shipping Big Macintosh with somepony who isn't me is naughty and makes me want to cry.

[TheAmishPirate]

I left for my D&D session and you people already have four pages. That is literally a page an hour. Sort of. Whatever.

Anyway, I think I might have just displayed the most advanced form of pony infection I've ever seen. Story time!

*my brother is a fellow brony, btw*

So I've just finished my first honest session as a DM. I'm seeing the players out the door, all had fun, good times. I turn and see my brother, silhouette framed in the door. He looks...disappointed? Confused? Accusatory? Maybe he didn't like something in the session? Did I mess up or something?

I ask him what's wrong. He just shakes his head. "Goddess of time, Amish? Really?"

I was confused. What was wrong with the matron deity of the main city? Did I do something wrong with it?

He shakes his head again. "Think back to what your description was, and you tell me."

I think back. I had said this was a goddess concerned with the passage of time. In the early days of the city, the farmers had a really strict growing season, and their lives depending on the seasons changing on time, the days being the right lengths, and so on and so forth and oh gosh I've made Celestia the matron deity.

And it was completely unintentional.

Not only have the ponies invaded my subconscious (I've had the dreams too), they are now planting suggestions and ideas. I have been Inception'd with/by ponies. And they've let me figure it out. WHY HAVE THEY LET ME FIGURE IT OUT.

Clearly this means it is too late already. We are all doomed. The world will fall to ponies, the party will be compleat. And the pink one will arrive as scheduled.

[Grif]

I can see your point. In a case like this, a part of me really wants to see an interpretation of her character that's in a completely different direction than existing fanon. Perhaps a fragile artiste?

You know, I really really cannot see her as that. Especially given her position in Wonderbolts. How does one end up in such if she's a fragile artiste?

@Amish
Yes... embrace the pony. They make you compleat.

[mikeejimbo]

Shipping Big Macintosh with somepony who isn't me is naughty and makes me want to cry.

Big Mac and Flutter? I am totally seeing that.

[darthbobcat]

It'd help to know what you mean by fragile artiste.

[the_druid_droid]

You know, I really really cannot see her as that. Especially given her position in Wonderbolts. How does one end up in such if she's a fragile artiste?

My hypothesis: it's the uniform. When she puts it on, she's part of the team, they're all depending on her, and it's go time. She puts it all on the line and works with them to make some of the best aerial displays in Equestria; that's her chosen medium. But everyday, once she's back out of the locker room and the suit is put up, she's totally different, scanning all the papers for reviews, almost compulsively, but mortified if even the tiniest thing is off.

It's that attention to detail and drive that got her to perfect her flying and opened doors to the Wonderbolts in the first place, but perhaps it's tearing her apart now?

EDIT: Although in all honesty, that was just what popped into my head first. My point is I'd like to see a contrarian take on Spitfire's personality...whatever it was.

So... a Rarity's version of the Wonderbolts? :smalltongue:

Derp. I mean Wonderbolts' version of Rarity. Brain herp derping me again.

[the_druid_droid]

So... a Rarity's version of the Wonderbolts? :smalltongue:

Mayyyyybe... :smalltongue:

[darthbobcat]

Ah, okay. I could see that. An all consuming perfectionism that's prevented her from really enjoying anything.

Purple Pie: Spitfire, we need to talk.

Also, yes, Fluttermac was the first ship I was ever willing to seriously consider.

I'm sorry Fluttershy, but you really need to get over it. Ponies are going to pair whomever with whomever else, and you need to learn to just not look at the ones you don't like as canon.

Besides which, Rainbow Dash really doesn't appreciate all this two-timing.

And then Spitfire gets her Beyond Forever moment where we find the perfect but largely unsuspected ship for her!

Also, your Fluttermac image dump is d'awwwww

That has potential alright.
Soarin: Spitfire, we been through this for the fiftieth time.

Also, the first image was cute. Poor tree.

It may take me some time to get over jealousy of Big Mac to start shipping them.

Surprisingly, while I love Fluttershy, I find her very difficult to conceive of storylines for.

In fact, to put it in perspective, I have never come up with even a fleeting idea for a Fluttershy centric story. I have had fleeting ideas for Dinky, Carrot Top, Derpy, Photo Finish, Luna, Celestia, Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Rarity, Scootaloo's noncanon father, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Trixie (who is a pony I like a lot less than most of the secondary cast) and everypony in the main cast except Twilight Sparkle (another blind spot in my creative powers).

Spike is another blind spot.

Considering that most fic centered around Twilight involves her either:
a) in a magical malfunction
b) being shipped with Dash
c) being nerdish to an extreme degree
d) adventuring somewhere on the behest of the Princess

A different take on Twilight would be nice actually.

Now we need a pony John McClane.

You don't get it, do you? This thing we call the Pink One, it is naught but a pale shadow of its true form; the herald before the queen comes in terrible glory. The party isn't here, it has just begun...


Also, I figured out my request for the crossover: Dexter's Lab, Twilight as Dexter, Pinkie Pie as Dee Dee. Work in background characters as your creativity dictates. Though, I would suggest Trixie as Mandark if he's included.

...how come I've been Inception'd by ponies before I've slipped on "everypony" in conversation? I'm just realizing how backward this all is.

You speak heresy! The dark tree cannot command the Pink One, especially safely imprisoned in Appleoosa!

[Kyouhen]

Personally I see Spitfire being exactly what Dash wants to be, but with a small twist. Dash is still desperate for attention and doing amazing stunts to get it. The problem? How many of those stunts would actually fly in a Wonderbolts show? If Dash wants to be a Wonderbolt she's going to have to hold herself back for the rest of the team. What if Spitfire's already been through that?

Personally that's why (in my personal fanon) Dash is never going to be a Wonderbolt. Or at least she's never going to be happy as one. She's capable of so much more than they are, especially with the ability to perform a Sonic Rainboom. I can't see her being happy with limiting herself based on someone else's abilities. I think Dash is going to end up starting her own stunt team or something after she's realized how much of who she is she'd have to give up to be a Wonderbolt.

Actually, that would make an interesting fic. Dash finally gets to be a Wonderbolt and decides that she isn't happy with this. She learns that Spitfire had to make that choice too, but for her own reasons has accepted the limitations put on her as just a member of a team.

Also! I've been toying with this all afternoon and all night and now it's done.

Sorry for the low quality images. Evidently every battery in my apartment has decided to die and so I can't use my actual camera. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow, I just wanted to throw what I've got up now.

I have learned two things working on this! First, Pinkie Pie's hair is REALLY FUN to make. The second is that I'm never touching cheap paint again. That pony has more coats of one shade of pink on her than most of my Warhammer models have coats of paint in general. And I'm a pretty good painter. So that's a lot. I actually ran out of the colour I was using for the hair and I still can't get it to lighten. I know it dries lighter, I've seen it do so. :smallannoyed: Oh well, now that I'm out of that stupid paint I have an excuse to buy some real paint.

Heresy? No sir. You speak of wisps and dreams. I speak of the nightmare that I stumble through, and the horrible glimpses of truth my eyes can yet bear. Nopony commands the Pink One. The tree is a farce; a sham. A monument set to mock our arrogance that we should think we understand anything. The Pink One will come whether the tree bids her or not.

Okay, Grif. I was thinking hard about how to do a Twilight centric fic that I'd want to read (which is how we wound up with shipping fics from me), and I remembered an idea I had.

(On an unrelated note, you pointed out that most fics seem to have the plot device of a spell of hers going sour. You're right and I'm ashamed that I didn't notice it as a cliche.)

In fact, I was wrong, I did have a fanfic idea about Twilight that I put out there for any interested party to write.

The premise is: Trixie comes back to town repentant of her previous boastful and selfish ways. She's joined a religious community or just had a personal experience that's changed the way she views things. Twilight Sparkle is highly suspicious. She assumes that Trixie's up to something and goes into Feeling Pinkie Keen levels of stalking.

However, it turns out that Trixie was sincere. At least, until Twilight Sparkle was harassing her constantly. Perhaps, in the climax of the story, Twilight rigs up an elaborate Rube Goldberg type machine to catch Trixie in a relatively harmless crime that backfires and either really hurts or humiliates Trixie. (ala an episode of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends)

Trixie leaves, vowing revenge on Twilight, and Twilight has to write a letter to Celestia saying that she learned, too late, that a pony is innocent until shown to be guilty and everypony deserves the benefit of the doubt.

"Today I learned that when you expect the worst from a pony, you might just be right because you drove them to it."

Edit: Welp, it looks like I love Kairaven now. He found the reference.

What mainly keeps me from writing it is 1) lack of specific scenes to flesh out the idea and 2) I have other fics I'd rather write first.

Edit: Also, 3) I've kinda built a fanfic career around writing about ideas that other people wouldn't. I'd rather popularize Photo Finish or Soarin than add another Twilight Sparkle fic to the world.

So once again, this idea is available for anyone who wants to write it.

[mikeejimbo]

Surprisingly, while I love Fluttershy, I find her very difficult to conceive of storylines for.

In fact, to put it in perspective, I have never come up with even a fleeting idea for a Fluttershy centric story. I have had fleeting ideas for Dinky, Carrot Top, Derpy, Photo Finish, Luna, Celestia, Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Rarity, Scootaloo's noncanon father, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Trixie (who is a pony I like a lot less than most of the secondary cast) and everypony in the main cast except Twilight Sparkle (another blind spot in my creative powers).

Spike is another blind spot.

I actually had an idea for a Fluttershy-centric story, but it involved a romance and I didn't have a colt for her, without creating a new character. I actually had a pretty good plot built up around such a character, but I might be able to make it work with Big Mac with a few changes. I think, though, I should hold off on writing it until I get used to how pony fanfics usually go. (My plot was essentially something that could be an episode.)

So yeah, that means I have to read a bunch of pony fanfics! Where should I start?

@DBC I might actually take you up on that. Been meaning to write another one-off and that conspiracy idea I had died due to the sheer number of plotholes I spied in the story.

I'm sorry Fluttershy, but you really need to get over it. Ponies are going to pair whomever with whomever else, and you need to learn to just not look at the ones you don't like as canon.

Besides which, Rainbow Dash really doesn't appreciate all this two-timing.

Your retort shifted my mental wavelength. I am now vibrating through the brighter spheres. Trying to come up with a coherent reason why, I boiled it down to this.

I do so look forward to the completion of Rainbows :smallsmile:

I realize I didn't express myself well with the line Phoe retorted to. What I really meant was

BOBCAT shipping me with somepony other than Big Macintosh makes me want to cry.

If other people have other ideas, go to town. It's just my internal Fluttershy piped up at the idea of Macintosh dating Spitfire, even for a quick joke.

Having Fluttershy as a conscience must be interesting. Probably more conductive to mental stability than, say, Metal Mask and a Banana, or Baron Awesome and the Druid Droid.

Speaking of, let me check what my consciences are right now?

Jayden: You should set yourself on fire and drive off a cliff.
Charger: Don't do it! You should set yourself on fire and fly a plane into Archduke Hydraopolis' face!
Jayden: Hey, good thinking, kid!

Allow me to present a case study.


I left for my D&D session and you people already have four pages. That is literally a page an hour. Sort of. Whatever.

Anyway, I think I might have just displayed the most advanced form of pony infection I've ever seen. Story time!

*my brother is a fellow brony, btw*

So I've just finished my first honest session as a DM. I'm seeing the players out the door, all had fun, good times. I turn and see my brother, silhouette framed in the door. He looks...disappointed? Confused? Accusatory? Maybe he didn't like something in the session? Did I mess up or something?

I ask him what's wrong. He just shakes his head. "Goddess of time, Amish? Really?"

I was confused. What was wrong with the matron deity of the main city? Did I do something wrong with it?

He shakes his head again. "Think back to what your description was, and you tell me."

I think back. I had said this was a goddess concerned with the passage of time. In the early days of the city, the farmers had a really strict growing season, and their lives depending on the seasons changing on time, the days being the right lengths, and so on and so forth and oh gosh I've made Celestia the matron deity.

And it was completely unintentional.

Not only have the ponies invaded my subconscious (I've had the dreams too), they are now planting suggestions and ideas. I have been Inception'd with/by ponies. And they've let me figure it out. WHY HAVE THEY LET ME FIGURE IT OUT.

Clearly this means it is too late already. We are all doomed. The world will fall to ponies, the party will be compleat. And the pink one will arrive as scheduled.

Be the judge. Also, you might develop a sudden need to get a pony avatar.

Hey, sometimes Mommy's horn gets tired from all the magic, and she has to use her hooves. :smallsmile:

I wish I had a horn. All I've got is a dumb mask, which ponies on the internet can't even see. Dumb rock!


Speaking of the LP, are you continuing it into Gal Civ 2? Just asking. You know. Not from any secret desire to see the Terror Star Otto Herbelin blow up a star. Nope. No sirree.

Ah, okay. I could see that. An all consuming perfectionism that's prevented her from really enjoying anything.

Purple Pie: Spitfire, we need to talk.

Also, yes, Fluttermac was the first ship I was ever willing to seriously consider.


Fluttermac wouldn't work. Fluttershy's defining characteristic is her kindness and her drive to care for other. The one time when she couldn't care for the critters at the Gala and was rejected by them it drove her crazy. Really, really crazy. So what would she get from being with Big Mac? He is physical strong and mentally stable, so unless he is very clumsy and gets hurt a lot he doesn't need her. And I don't think Fluttershy could stand that.

And I like the term ponysanity.

[TheAmishPirate]

I don't know, so far the advantages of ponysanity seem to be outweighing the drawbacks. After all, Thanqol descended into ponysanity, and as a result pulled off perhaps the best lp I've ever seen of Europa III. Are there any serious issues that come up as this condition escalates?

Oooh, that depends on your definition of "serious issues", my good man. Do you mind voices in your head (multiple at once after the condition progresses), occasional bouts of thinking you're some sort of magical equine, or using your literary talents to critique pony fanfiction over the internet instead of doing something useful with it like your English teachers would want? Because heck if I am, I hated English class! Who are they to tell me what stories are or aren't worth my time! And who says I can't start a sentence with "because"? Rabble rabble rabble!

*ahem* Er, right. Sorry. Bit off track there.

Unfortunately for you, it's already too late. You may think you have a choice now, but that's just a common symptom; early stages of delusion and major denial. Trust me, I was there too. You've already posted in a pony thread, and may I be so bold to assume that you've started looking at fanart? The ponies are in your system, lad, and there's no getting them out.

I'm sorry, but you've got the silly. And it's terminal AWESOME.

[Raz_Fox]

If you want specific recommendations from me, well, I like people to read my stories, obviously. (I'm Bobcat on ED and I have my own author tag and everything!)

I don't think I've told you how much I love you for linking Misted Stage to anypony who asks for a fanfic recommendation, so... I love you as much as Lyra loves Twilight for linking my story to anypony who asks for a fanfic recommendation.

Having Fluttershy as a conscience must be interesting. Probably more conductive to mental stability than, say, Metal Mask and a Banana, or Baron Awesome and the Druid Droid.

[...]

Well, it's still better than that time Raz_Fox was acting as my conscience.

Excuse me, what? I've never acted as your conscience! Well, maybe as your moral mentor and adviser, but never as a conscience, per se.

And I'm pretty sure that the Cheshire Cat is one half of my conscience. I'm not sure who the other one is. It might be the Doctor, which would explain why I've been having these urges to start randomly running places and licking the walls in between tea parties.

And unfortunately, there is no cure! It was thought that perhaps the lull between new episodes would serve as a suppressant for the symptoms at the very least, but it has only so far served to exacerbate the symptoms, not relieve them!

But that was a case of Cutie Mark Failure Disorder. Her cutie mark isn't caring for ponies, it's caring for animals and having a close connection to them. It was the inability to establish a connection that drove her round the bend.

Really, one way you could interpret what you're saying is that she'd inflict injuries on any paramour through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchausen_syndrome_by_proxy Munchausen syndrome by proxy, just from the desire to take care of them.

Plus, maybe Fluttershy wants to be taken care of occasionally.

1YES, before anyone makes any comments, spirit-bound Liches can ingest things (e.g. potions, chocolate (no way I was givin' that up, even in death), spleens), as the ingested matter does not physically fall through our bones is but is instead amalgamated into our systems and excess energy re-radiated on the ethereal plane. In the same way I can sigh, whistle a merry tune, and y'know speak, despite not having any lungs. Spirit-bound Undead can pretty much do anything a living being can do, with none of the disadvantages.

(Actually, I'm surprised at the speed it was approved.)

Thank you all for the inspiration that is crazyLyra.

Congrats on getting your rampant insanity posted, Grif. :smallbiggrin:

You know. All the comments had one thing in common.


...What did I just read?

Freaking hilarious.

@EsperDerek
Thank you! Ponysanity shall soon rule the world.

But that was a case of Cutie Mark Failure Disorder. Her cutie mark isn't caring for ponies, it's caring for animals and having a close connection to them. It was the inability to establish a connection that drove her round the bend.

Really, one way you could interpret what you're saying is that she'd inflict injuries on any paramour through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchausen_syndrome_by_proxy Munchausen syndrome by proxy, just from the desire to take care of them.

Plus, maybe Fluttershy wants to be taken care of occasionally.

I wasn't thinking of drain cleaner in Big Macs breakfast but more that she will eventual hook up with a total loser. Probably an unemployed slacker who continously cheats on her, followed by the comment "but filly, I love you" and regular interventions by Fluttershy's friends she repels with "but I can change him". Muenchhausen is about getting attention anyway.

I just had one of my thoughts again (which as you all know is a Bad Thing), was I'm too mentally weary to do anything constructive. And, among my random, almost-have-enough-coherent-thoughts-to-write-a-fanfic (if-I-could-work-up-the-effort), I realised there's one thing I don't think I've seen yet with the GaP Trixie (though she's not a favourite of mine, so I haven't looked hard). Wth her being a fairly popular fanon character, I've seen quite few interpretations (not the least being EsperDerek's take) ranging for genuinely villainous (in Lingering Nightmare, albiet with "help") to tragic (initially, in the aforementioned Midnight stories).

But one that struck me out of the blue I haven't seen was an interpretation along the lines of Joxer the Mighty. As after all, he too, started off as sort of a villain (in his debut, he tried to capture Gabrielle). I could totally see Trixie falling into that mould; a sort of well-meaning (and sometimes genuinely heroic) but slightly unlucky/inept (largely because of her overinflated opinion of her abilities). I.e. most of the time, being the buffonish comic-relief, but with occasional slivers of genuine heroism (and geninue ability) creeping in.

Now, don't get me wrong, Joxer was easily my favourite character in Xena. I like that whole sort of character (other examples would be Ron Stoppable and Sokka, or even Johnny English; who at the end of the day in the first movie would have still shot that guy in cold-blood if his gun wasn't full of poop). I'm personally kind of ambivilent about Trixie generally, but I could totally get behind her falling into that sort of role.

So, interesting (or at least different) thought, or am I really just too mentally drained to be coherent?



Whatever, I don't think anyone will deny that Trixie absolutely demands to have a "Joxer the Mighty"-style theme song, right?

(Paging Mr DarthBobcat, your talent in that area far exceeds mine...)

Actually my take on Trixie is exactly that. A well-intentioned braggrat, who routinely overestimates her own abilities and not above to playing petty tricks to upstage her rivals. (And that'll be my personal fanon as well. I can't see her any other way after the way I written her to so in Pony Effect.)

It also occurs to me that there would totally have to her Jett and Jace counterparts, just for extra comedy value (though I'm not sure how the hay you'd manage to distort their steriotypes to fit it with MLP, but it'd be damn funny to try...)

And I'd also totally be okay with Twilight playing Gabby to Trixie's Joxer, because the potential for comedy is endless (especially if Twilight's not into fillies...)

Also because her name would fit the song...

I haven't seen the first episode with Joxer, so I don't know how he started, but Trixie seems to competent for that. She humiliated RD, Applejack and Rarity and at least annoyed the Ursa Minor. And her Cutie Mark indicates that she has talent for magic. Also she lacks the clumsiness and awkwardness that mark a true comical sidekick.

Confound you Amish, your DMing madness is spreading! I'm working on a campaign world right now, and I was already envisioning one of the nations as a principality. Now after reading your post in the last thread, the sheer temptation to have a ruler named Celestia over it all is just excruciating...
