Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.97
Party Edition

Brief Introduction

Spoiler

Show

MLP: 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.

Deadly's Ironically Presented Anti-Spoiler Measures

Spoiler

Show

DO YOU HATE SPOILER TAGS?

Well, Deadly's here to help you get rid of them... with a vengeance! Create a new bookmark in your browser and copy the code below as the link/url of said bookmark. Name it something helpful, like "Spoilers B GONE!" or whatever. Then whenever you view a thread here on GitP you just hit the bookmark and BAM! no more spoilers.

You won't even see the boxes, just the bare innards in all their gory glory.

It also makes sure that no image is wider than 600px, to avoid stretching pages, and will attempt to "intelligently" remove repeated images except avatars. Neat, huh? Sadly that last part means stuff like pony emotes may get lost but the forum doesn't make it easy for me to single out images in quotes as I'd have liked... that's an open problem, I guess.

Tested in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Should work in any modern browser, but you never know with these things.

javascript:(function() { var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block'; a[i].className = ''; } else if (a[i].className == 'pre-spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'none'; }} var ims = new Array(); var tmp; a = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { tmp = a[i].parentNode.className ; if (ims.indexOf(a[i].getAttribute('src')) == -1) { ims.push(a[i].getAttribute('src')); a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px'; } else if (tmp != 'avataroverflow' && tmp != 'alt2') { a[i].style.display = 'none' ; }}})();

If you don't mind repeated images, here's a version that leaves them be.

javascript:(function() { var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block'; a[i].className = ''; } else if (a[i].className == 'pre-spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'none'; }} a = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px'; }})();

*Sigh* Side note - this poor old thing needs real overhaul now

Spent 10 minutes trying to post the OP, years of dodging bad forum code, cut corners, and trying to make it work regardless of these finally caught up to it and I needed to recode some stuff to make it fit 50K characters. Oh well. It was overdue anyway.

Also Hopereaver isn't a he.

Ah, then "Performance review of last hers when it happened."

Would you like help with it?

...Wow, no kidding, looking at it, we've still got a link to Ponibooru in there. That's old-school.

[Tiki Snakes]

This one doesn't.



Hopereaver might, I suppose, but I really kind of don't care.

Actually, I-

Really don't want any sort of image in my head, thank you, Hopereaver.

Mental image? Through the wonders of morally questionable sorcery, we can go one better than that.

Some of that stuff has been there since I joined the thread just before Season 2.... no further comment.

Yeah, I didn't touch it for back compatibility (and because quite a lot wasn't written by me so I didn't wanted to edit it without permission). I actually have a small archive of links that were supposed to supplant/update/supersede old ones, but spent so long on that it that they probably need a review of their own, too

And one for the ponies.

I've observed (and some others have concurred/said it themselves) that the show has more or less run out of lessons to teach. The question is if this is a bad thing that's been effecting your enjoyment of the show and how they should deal with it.

Personally it hasn't been bothering me at all, and I think the episodes might be stronger if they embraced this new direction and gave up on trying to have a moral at all in the episodes.

On the other hoof, there is something to be said about going back and expanding on the lessons that have already been learned.

Random thought of the day,

Twilight's transformation into an alicorn sequence may be the closest thing we get to a magical girl transformation.


I don't know why I felt the need to share that thought.

I know I don't mind similar lessons either as long as they keep them individually well told and put together. And aren't too close together. Ultimately I keep in mind its better for the show to be accessible at any point, thus a certain level of repetition is a good thing since it allows for the show to persist better in the long term.

I don't particularly care one way or the other if they keep/repeat the lessons or not, as long as the episodes themselves are good and there isn't a string of the same lesson in a row.

Hello, new thread. We have taken a liking to P.
That doesn't sound right.

[Cikomyr]

We really burn through those threads fast..

I wanted to talk to you about The Crystal Empire (both Parts).

I have noticed that a BIG, BIG part of that episode's drama/struggle is Twilight Sparkle's apparent obsession of "completing the task on her own alone", because of Celestia's instructions.

Is it just me, of those instructions were extremely arbitrary and taken out of nowhere? If Celestia's test was to save the Crystal Empire, what does it matter that Twilight completes it with the help of her friends or on her own?

Instead, Celestia just literally risked the future of the Crystal Empire because her obsessive student might have refused any support for fear of failing her arbitrary test.

Given how he was apparently defeated by Celestia and Luna without the EoH, it could be Celestia figured she could just take out Sombra* and save the Empire if Twilight screwed up.

As for Celestia's reasons for the instructions, IIRC she specifically said at the end that she wanted to know if Twilight would put the safety of citizens of the Empire above just obeying orders or ensuring her own success.

*Google Chrome is totally trying to correct this to Sombrero.

[Cikomyr]

But the point I was making is that a great part of this episode's drama was completely arbitrary and artificial. Am I the only one who feels that way?

[Soras Teva Gee]

Oh man, you should have seen us a few summers ago.

Come home after going out to run errands and oh look... ponythread has five new pages!

I recall only kinda "surfing" the thread not even trying to follow all of it.

[Rater202]

The implication was that it was a Secret Test of Character.

Celestia told Twilight that she had to save the Empire by herself, but in reality the test was to see if Twilight would be willing to give up her chance at passing the test to save the Empire.

she passed the real test with Flying Colors.

Yup pretty much. The test was actually, is Twilight either a) so competant to handle this problem without help or b) willing to put the safety and wellbeing of other ponies above her own personal glory.

However I wouldn't say Celestia risked the future of the Crystal Empire at all. She and Luna were prepared to go in and simply take Sombra out for the second time. He simply wasn't a threat at all beyond making Twilight fail her test.

Also did you notice how Celestia gave contradictory orders?

You have to rescue the Empire! But make sure you take your friends with you. She was totally setting Twilight up with that.

Invasion tech has been researched and our Crystal Empire has sent a fleet of troop transports to the enemy colony bases! Annnd against all logical sense the enemy ignored these ships as they began shooting up our trade routes and space stations.

So, our infrastructure is currently on fire. That's now a thing.

However, we have slaves expendables troops ready to land on their planets. We can invade to capture (these planets are average quality at best and will need investment) or we could just glass the planet and move on for better worlds to conquer.

Take the Planets for your own. if nothing lse, they can be used as fueling stations or factory worlds(Depending on how building infrastructure works in this game)
