    Default My Little Pony XCII: Suggestive Horse Noises

    Brief Introduction

    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! [UPDATED] 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.

    New, slightly compressed one-line version:
    Code:
    javascript:(function(){var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div');var b;for (var i = 0;i < a.length;i++){if(a[i].className == 'quotecontent'){b = a[i].getElementsByTagName('div');for (var j = 0;j < b.length;j++){b[j].style.display = 'block';}}}})();
    The Stylish solution by Excession. It's somewhat more elegant, provided you're willing to install a browser plugin:

    Code:
    @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
    
    @-moz-document domain("giantitp.com") {
      div.quotecontent > div {
        display: block !important;
      }
    }

    Ah, I love the smell of new threads in the morning.

    ...Well, afternoon, but it is Saturday...

    The range of hues from ~100o to ~160o (green - turquoise) is curiously avoided for all ponies. It has been suggested by The L - Train that these hues might be avoided since they are similar to those used for the grass and tree leaves that are common to the setting of Ponyville [5]. An amusing implication of this is that camouflage has played a negative evolutionary impact on ponykind.

    That makes sense.
    Ponies will start to think your friends are imaginary if they keep blending into the scenery.

    Smash! 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 Whooves

    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. Whooves 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! [UPDATED] 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.

    New, slightly compressed one-line version:
    Code:
    javascript:(function(){var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div');var b;for (var i = 0;i < a.length;i++){if(a[i].className == 'quotecontent'){b = a[i].getElementsByTagName('div');for (var j = 0;j < b.length;j++){b[j].style.display = 'block';}}}})();
    The Stylish solution by Excession. It's somewhat more elegant, provided you're willing to install a browser plugin:

    Code:
    @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
    
    @-moz-document domain("giantitp.com") {
      div.quotecontent > div {
        display: block !important;
      }

    Suggestive horse noises... like a soft whinnying or a playful snort blowing through your mane.

    Yup, this thread title is one of those that'll make the playground at large look twice, and that's funny.

    They can be total sweethearts. Bumping their heads against you for attention, or to steal a treat if you got one on you. :3

    Rarity - Absentee parents more concerned with their eternal midlife crises than with their daughters. Becomes substitute mother to sister.
    Rainbow Dash - Father conspicuously absent from life of chip-off-the-old-block daughter. Dead? Ran off? Is RD chasing after a ghost?
    Fluttershy - Fell away from home and never looked back.
    Applejack - Dead parents.
    Pinkie Pie - Unhappy childhood, but now better. Compensating with hyper lifestyle?
    I do not understand why people seem to be grimly determined to insert tragic backstories into the show. We see very little of the families because they are not the focus of the story, and there is very little in cannon to suggest any form of dysfunction or trouble.

    The lack of parents appearing in show is quite reasonable - all the Main 6 are young adults, and all have adult resposibilities. Them living away from their parents is quite reasonable.

    Twilight Sparkle - No evidence of this whatsoever.
    Rarity - Yes, Sweetie Belle is around the sister she adores a lot. Yes, she stays over a lot. Perhaps she stays over so she is closer to the school. The only time we see any form of dumping is in Sisterhooves Social where Rarity has to look after Sweetie Belle - something that had been arranged beforehand and Rarity had forgotten about.
    Rainbow Dash - Father lives in Cloudsdale, Daughter lives in Ponyville, no reason for any visits to be shown
    Fluttershy - As with Rainbow, the simplest explanation is that her parents live in Cloudsdale, and ant family visits are simply not relevant to the story.
    Applejack - With Applejack we are on slightly firmer ground - Applejack lives on the family farm and we never see her parents, so it is reasonable to assume that they are dead. However the "dead parents" is - understandably - not confirmed in cannon (only a couple of hints are given), and even if do hardly implies either dysfunctional or troubled childhood. Given that AppleBloom exists, Applejack could have been relatively old when her parents died.
    Pinkie Pie - The only evidence of this is Pinkie's flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles. This is Pinkie Pie telling a story, and Pinkie is known to be an unreliable narrator. All the other times her family comes up it is clear that she adores them. The Pie lifestyle is admittedly different - that is not the same as dysfunctional.

    EDIT: I'm fine with people putting some of these ideas in fanfiction - and some of the stories that come out of this are undeniably very good. What annoys me is people being determined to take these ideas and inflict them on the show itself.

    Spoiler: Jurai, your birthday pony-turned-human is here.
    Show


    The request's exact wording, "in flowing robes with a rapier", was not much to go on, especially since a human needs to be clothed (or not, if you ask Digo). I eventually decided to follow the era in which the rapier was current, or the late 16th century to be precise. The fashion is mostly based on Spanish fashion of that time, but the torso's doublet takes a lot of notes from French/English female dresses of the same period. The robe became a robe-cloak, as I wanted to refrain from referencing popular fantasy tropes (especially the revealing kind!), and that meant that most robes I could take notes from were those used in monasteries, and they were a bit too somber for my goals. Also, Crossguard was a knight, not a wizard (at least not so as a main occupation), anyway, so I thought a more active outfit was called for.

    Of course, if you think I should stay more faithful to the request, or you'd like to see her in different interpretations or outfits, just let me know. I have some time before Christmas to do a lot of drawing.


    Here's a question I'd like to ask the Ponythread, regarding aesthetics. Architectural aesthetics, to be precise. Below inside the spoilers you'll see Basilica Sanctae Lunae, a temple-basilica under construction (by me) in my Minecraft realm, which is based on the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (the Blue Mosque) in Istanbul, and is a counterpart to my already complete Basilica Sanctae Caelestiae, which in turn is based on the Hagia Sophia, again in Istanbul. I have hit a quandary; it is impossible to closely approximate the colour and texture of the mid-tier blue-white Iznik tiles used in the majority of the RW mosque's ceiling structures (most notably its arches below the domes), and while light blue stained clay would be closest in terms of colour, it is nearly devoid of definition and also lacks any corresponding stair blocks with which to soften the arches (this is a problem that I did not face in Sancta Caelestia as the scales were much larger), but the alternative that does have stairs, which is cobblestone, is so grey that Sancta Luna would then be called the Grey mosque, not the Blue mosque. I have, in the below screenshot, built both designs side-by-side for comparison; I'd like to hear your thoughts on which would be better.

    Spoiler: The two ways I could approximate the Iznik tiles
    Show



    Included in the second spoiler below the first is one taken using the new Purpur bricks, which does not yet exist in any of the release versions, and thus had to be tested using the newest development snapshots. We'll call this option 3.

    Spoiler: Third alternative for approximating the Iznik tiles using 1.9 Purpur bricks
    Show


    EDIT: Here's a variation on the "stained clay method"; let's call this the 4th option.

    Spoiler: The Fourth Option, using both cobblestone stairs and alternating stained clay
    Show


    EDIT2: Here's another idea that, while looking nice AND having stairs, is horrendously expensive, and will probably take me forever to find enough of the materials to complete the entire mosque.

    Spoiler: This is what happens when you build with gem-grade minerals
    Show


    Through the link below you'll find a photo of the RW mosque's interior, taken from Wikipedia.

    The holidays are a tiring time when it comes to family. They all live in different places so traveling has to be done to see them all. 3-4 hour car trips are no fun on my bottom. :3 Though if I could teleport or fly like Twilight, I'd probably not feel so tired doing these trips. Instead I gotta drive. And unfortunately I'm the only one in the household with a license (only 10 more years until my daughter gets hers... tick tock)

    It seems like Rarity's parents just live on the other side of Ponyville. The CMC met at Sweetie Belle's room once.

    Dat short haircut. :3

    Well my perception of Crossguard is forever improved. As for asking me about clothes... I think Ponythread knows the silliness that is my train of thought.

    The colors on the right side look nicer, but I have to go with the left side because the texture feels right.

    Oh, agreed - the Applejack/Parents one is the only one of the theories I think makes any sense.

    Rarity - Absentee parents more concerned with their eternal midlife crises than with their daughters. Becomes substitute mother to sister.
    Rainbow Dash - Father conspicuously absent from life of chip-off-the-old-block daughter. Dead? Ran off? Is RD chasing after a ghost?
    Fluttershy - Fell away from home and never looked back.
    Applejack - Dead parents.
    Pinkie Pie - Unhappy childhood, but now better. Compensating with hyper lifestyle?
    Making an awful lot of assumptions here.

    Twilight: No evidence that she lost contact with her parents, at least until she moved to ponyville, and the only thing dysfunctional about Twilight's relationship to the Princess is that Twilight seemed to think she's being held to stricter standards than she is for a while.

    Rarity: We've seen her parents Twice, and onle once was a major role. Everybody loves to take them leaving Sweetie Belle with Rarity once and assume she's constantly being abandoned at her sisters, but really, Maybe Sweetie Belle just has a room at the boutique and often sleeps over at her sister's because she wants to spend time with her? Or maybe both of their parents work? That's just as plausible with the jack squat we know about them as what you present?

    Rainbow Dash: We have seen her father exactly once, in a flashback. Until we get more, we have nothing to go on for her childhood or family life.

    Fluttershy: There is exactly zero evidence that nobody came and found her after she fell off the cloud.

    Applejack: Yeah, her parents are probably dead. This does not mean her family is or was dysfunctional. Have you seen the apples? That family is pretty damn functional.

    Pinkie: Her childhood was unhappy...because it was bland and boring. Once Pinkie got her cutie mark, i became significantly happier. Also, IIRC, crayon drawing Pinkie had a straight mane in the crayon drawing flashback to Maude making the rock candy for Pinkie, and Pinkie had a straight mane prerainboom in her Cutie Mark Flashback, so she was probably exaggerating how boring it was.

    Or we could just take the episode at its word, and say that Hondo and Cookie left Sweetie with Rarity for a week so they could take a couple's vacation. Pretty innocuous, really.

    I was including that in my statement

    That strikes me as difficult to do, on the grounds that cutie marks are inherently very subjective. (See Cheerilee, whose CM talent has nothing to do with gardening; see Rainbow Dash, whose CM talent has nothing in particular to do with weather; see Twilight Sparkle, whose CM talent has nothing to do with astronomy or navigation.)

Unless I'm forgetting something, the only pegasi confirmed to have any kind of family are Pound Cake (sister and parents); Rumble and Thunderlane (mutual brothers), Spitfire and Stormy Flare (daughter/mother) and a few pairs at the Sisterhooves Socials (including Dash and Scoots). And even if he was precisely what is supposed, we know that at least one pony in that crowd no longer lives in Cloudsdale.

    I think the sample-size of the ponies we do know of can be enough. We have 5 seasons of ponies that we've seen do jobs.

    Dash was standing on the stallions back. If he's not her father or older brother, then "he's" her mom or older sister in one of those skin tight pony suits that Pinkie wore back in the crystal empire, pretending to be her father or older brother.

    I also note that you forgot Pinkie's family(confirmed as such) Twilight's Parents and BBBFF, Rarity's Parents, the entire Apple Family with it's hundreds of members, the Royal Sisters. Cadance is Celestia's niece(adopted, according to one of the side books) and Twilight's sister-in-law... Yeah, you left out most of the confirmed family.

    I admit that the mysterious stallion had a rainbow mane such as we've rarely seen elsewhere, but visual similarity still does not denote close family relations (or vice versa; see the Ponyville Apples).

    Refresh my memory - which of the Pies, Apples, Canterlot unicorns, Ponyville unicorns, or alicorns is a pegasus?

    And don't you be starting on Cadance. Advertisements are about Tier 4 on my scale of canonicity (where Tier 3 is "here are some handy pre-made headcanons you might be interested in adopting"), and the show never says or implies any relation between her and anyone (outside Shining's family, post-marriage). So no, she is nopony's niece, except possibly by marriage.

    Prince Blueblood has been stated in the show by Rarity to be Celestia's nephew. We could sub him in for family relations to the top royalty.

    Kd7sov specified pegasi. Some Apples might be pegasi, and Cadance used to be one according to the same side book (an aside: Gillian Berrow is a show writer now), but none of those others you mentioned.

    That said, Kd7sov did miss a few. Cloudchaser's parents are mentioned in the trading cards, as is Emerald Green's "winged cousin in Cloudsdale." Fluttershy apparently has a brother that was confirmed at SDCC 2015 to be appearing in an upcoming episode; presumably that will be in Season 6, unless he's a background pony and we've all missed him. Hoops, one of Fluttershy's bullies at Flight Camp, compared her disparagingly to his "baby brother" in The Cutie Mark Chronicles. Rainbow Dash's parents are not identified, but but at one point the Hub website characterized them as loving and supportive.

    Generally speaking, if an adult and a small child look very similar and the adult is carrying the child, it is safe to assume that they are related.

    Which I had previously commented on and you had ignored, despite quoting that section of my post. In fact, in that quoted section there are no referances to the stallion's mane color, so I'm a bit confused as to how "looking alike isn't proof of relation" is a valid response to "he was carrying her."
    You're pushing "It's not canon until it's in the show, regardless of who or wear it came from" pretty far beyond the point where it's reasonable to assume so, and that's a pretty short lease.
    And don't you be starting on Cadance. Advertisements are about Tier 4 on my scale of canonicity (where Tier 3 is "here are some handy pre-made headcanons you might be interested in adopting"), and the show never says or implies any relation between her and anyone (outside Shining's family, post-marriage). So no, she is nopony's niece, except possibly by marriage.
    The Itunes, Netflix, and Hub/Discovery Family descriptions of Canterlot Wedding part 1 all say that Cadance is Celestia's niece, as does all of the promotional matirial for the episodes, a lot of the side matirial for the show, and word of god

    Cadance is Celestia's niece according to literally every source on the subject of her family.

    Agreed for Fluttershy - all we really know is that she likely comes from Cloudsdale from her relationship with Rainbow Dash ( even that isn't explicitly stated). As noted by others, the rainbow-maned* pegasus is likely at least family if not parent.

    Cadance is Celestia's niece according to literally every source on the subject of her family.
    The sources available to me are as follows: The show; The comics, up to a certain point (which point, I'm not sure; I need to locate and organize the comics I've got so I know which ones I have and don't have. Somewhere around the pirate arc, I think.); Fanwork I happen to run across; Things I happen to notice linked here; Things I happen to notice on EqD on my occasional visits there.

    So I am now aware of one Statement of Authorial Intent that supports your point. (I've already expressed my perspective on advertisements, and it would possibly be wiser of me not to discuss Netflix/iTunes descriptions as sources of information.)

    One thing to note, though: Cadance is described in that tweet as having been raised (not a word that particularly connotes family, on its own) by earth ponies, and later - possibly after alicornization - adopted. So, to bring this around to my original peeve point, she contributes no solid data re: pegasi and families.

    Scientists say that one day we may run out of pony and cake, but that won't be for billions of years, so not to worry, eh?

    On the other hand, RD being shown as climbing onto the back of a random stallion that is a) willing to let her do it and b) that just happens to have an extremely similar (very uncommon) colour scheme is asking for a narrative coincidence that stretches credulity very nearly beyond plausibility.

    Whether, if, indeed related, said stallion is brother, cousin, father or uncle (or even young-looking grandfather) is a matter of conjecture of course; it is however FAR more likely that said stallion is a relative than not (or that pegasus are, like, abandoned at birth and raised by the state or something).

    More pertinently, speaking purely on the meta-level, the show staff would not have drawn the character as similar to Rainbow Dash without the deliberate intention of implying them being related somehow. You'd have to be completely oblivous (the exact opposite of what the show staff are, see: Lyra and Bonbon et al...); or for unknown reasons completely randomly generating pony colour schemes (AND have inputted RD's mane-scheme as possible random result) and then have generated said result at exactly this one instance and never before or since.

    (And yes, there are possible explanations otherwise, but they would become a story in and of themselves to explain1.)

    It just doesn't make any sense that the choice was not deliberate. Occam's Razor and all.

    So while you can attempt to fanon around it by all means, attempting to suggest it was entirely co-incidental that the show staff chose to show Rainbow Dash standing on top of a random stallion that co-incidentally has a colour scheme so close that people (especially the target audience, who are not going analyse in the manner we do1) are naturally going to assume is a relation is being... a bit disingenuous, shall we say?



    The show staff have - as they often seem to do in this sort of thing - not outright confirmed anything, and I personally suspect that may even be partly to allow the fandom some interpretative room




    1Off the top of my head, here's a freebee: RD at some point happens to meet this stallion (perhaps at the parade, perhaps in some other walk of life (perhaps a teacher or martial arts sensei or something)) and perhaps he ends up becoming some sort of friend or mentor, perhaps initially spurred on by the fact they look a bit alike (and presumabl sees a bit of himself in her or something). But, as I say, that would actually require nearly a story itself to explain, and is supposition a bit beyond what can be reasonably be expected from the actual nominal target audience who are going to assume the simplest explanation.

    2I bet souls to sabres if I asked my niece (or Digo his daughter) etc etc who that stallion was, they'd say it was Dash's dad.

    So I am now aware of one Statement of Authorial Intent that supports your point. (I've already expressed my perspective on advertisements, and it would possibly be wiser of me not to discuss Netflix/iTunes descriptions as sources of information.)
    A lot of people don't like hearing this, but none of the highlighted things are cannon. They may be derived from cannon, they may help illustrate cannon, but they cannot be cannon. No matter how important a fan things their opinion is, fan opinion does not form cannon. Not even mine.

    Now, how we should treat the cannon portrayed by the show, comics, other official merchandise and word of author is debatable (there are many variations as there are many people working on them, and even the show on its own can be contradictory). Some people will only take the show itself, some people will allow in the comics and so on. Me? I take the show, and let the other sources inform the show.
