History WMG / FriendshipIsDragons

The reason Scootaloo isn't Rainbow Dash's sister in game is the same meta-reason we have [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic in canon]], the GM thought it would be too dangerous for a young filly be the sister of the ChaoticEvil barbarian, so they have her as Dash's biggest fangirl instead.

[[WMG: While G4 doesn't exist, the first three generations do. The GM is basing this world on what she thinks MyLittlePony should be.]]

[[WMG: Rainbow Dash's and Rarity's alignments will slowly but surely change to [[ChaoticGood Chaotic Good]] and [[NeutralGood Good]], respectively.]]
A special point in the Mane Six is that despite their flaws, all of then are good ponies who would never intentionally harm somepony, but we have two characters here who are openly evil(admittedly, Rarity did try to hide, but didn't work). However, through experience with their new-found friends, they will learn that there is more on it that just themselves. Rarity is already starting to change, by doing a truly selfless act without thinking twice([[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic as in canon]], giving her tail to Steven Magnet), and Rainbow Dash is the element of Loyalty, while it COULD lead to a [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Even Evil Has Loved Ones]] situation, she will start to care too much for the ponies around her to actually stay evil.

[[WMG: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 The Return of]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 Harmony arc]] will be ''majorly'' contextulized as a PvP-esque tournament.]]

* {Jossed.} At least somewhat. Discord is a friend of the DM, who co-DMs the 'Return of Harmony' arc.

[[WMG: Spike's story about the origin of dragons in Equestria is a ChekhovsGun.]]

"Magic" may not have been his original idea for the sixth Element's name, either. Everyone just ends up [[SureWhyNot going with it]] because she's so obviously on a roll/into it that they don't have the heart to interrupt.

When Applejack comes up with a reason for why her character would be in Canterlot, the GM replies: "There we go. That's my girl." That's a surprisingly tender thing to say to someone. [[AuthorAvatar Bear in mind the creator has said]] [[WishFufillment that A.J is his favourite character...]]

* They'll probably try to Metagame by the time Twilight makes her accusation, but botch the Will save necessary for them to do so.

After all, [[OutOfFocus she wouldn't have been tested much lately]]. [[spoiler:And Garyx knows she's going to need the experience points very soon.]]
So why a detective mystery? Well, just as Dash's player is [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep fond of standard D&D]], Twi's player is probably a fan of {{PoliceProcedural}}s, if not the Franchise/AceAttorney series itself. The DM would likely be very familiar with the latter. And Pinkie's player is either also a fan of that, a fan of mysteries, a great actress, or a general otaku. Bonus points for her coming to the session with either the Sherlock Holmes hat or a trenchcoat. The other Players would have had a setup meeting with the DM the night before. [[spoiler:And, depending on how the DM wants to play out the following episodes, she may also need the ''specific'' practice.]]

* Jossed, they were in a guest comic.

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will be played by Applejack's(Apple Bloom), Rarity's(Sweetie Belle) and Rainbow Dash's(Scootaloo) players younger sisters.]]

...Or rather, the GM ''intends'' for it to be. However, given how the players hadn't paid enough attention to the opening monologue to realize the importance of the Elements of Harmony, the chances of that going as planned will be... rather slim.

** Partly confirmed in ''Dragonshy'' when it's revealed that [[spoiler:all dragons come from another universe, meaning Fluttershy's druid powers won't work on them]]... something only Fluttershy knew because she actually listened to the story, while Twilight and the rest had ignored it.

A special point in the Mane Six is that despite their flaws, all of then are good ponies who would never intentionally harm somepony, but we have two characters here who are openly evil(admittedly, Rarity did try to hide, but didn't work). However, through experience with their newfound friends, they will learn that there is more on it that just thenselves. Rarity is already starting to change, by doing a trully selfless act without thinking twice([[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic as in canon]], giving her tail to Steven Magnet), and Rainbow Dash is the element of Loyalty, while it COULD lead to a [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Even Evil Has Loved Ones]] situation, she will start to care too much for the ponies around her to actually stay evil.

** What I meant is ACT as if ChaoticGood[=/=]NeutralGood. I am aware the alignments work differently, but the actions stay the same regardless of what it says on the character sheet. jerk-ish and tough-acting Good strikes me as ChaoticGood actions, and Rarity's actions so far gives off the idea of NeutralEvil style of Evil, becoming Good would lead to anything but LawfulGood(she is a thief, afterall).

[[WMG: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic do exist in the comic's universe, and part of the condition to take on the campain was to never had watch it before.]]
Exept Twilight's player did watch it before, she just haven't realized it because she just watched the last few minutes of the second episode, and could only remember it because she thought it was incredibly awesome, it only kicked in when Applejack was ariving into the scene, and she finally noticied the similarities.

* An attempt to draw Fluttershy's player [[TheQuietOne out of her shell]] and make her a more confident player. If she plays one of the Crusaders (most likely Sweetie Belle), the events of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E17StareMaster Stare Master]]" will be initally focused on teaching her DivergentCharacterEvolution.
* Punishing Dash's player for all her complaining by illustrating how it could be worse: she could be a pegasus who can't even fly and has even ''less'' reason to go adventuring!

And the reason they keep ComicallyMissingThePoint on how to get their cutie marks...? Their players don't want to get 'locked into' a special talent before inspiration hits!

* One of them could be a younger ''brother'' instead...

Though the changes he had to make in response to Twilight's taking the series OffTheRails work at first, the GM isn't completely satisifed. (If the series is kept entirely in order, he could be disappointed by the results of the Grand Galloping Gala... or, alternately, irritated by the players' reactions to it, or generally continuing complaints of the series not having enough 'action'.) [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 The Return]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 of Harmony]] arc, then, is meant to stick the group back on a [[{{Railroading}} road]] suspiciously similiar to his ''original'' plans, starting with {{De Power}}ing the party.

On top of this, when Fluttershy's player doesn't go along with his [[BreakTheCutie plans for her]], the GM actually [[spoiler:'''seizes her character sheet''' and plays out her Fluttercruelty]], bringing her player to tears and making the others [[WhatTheHellHero even more outraged]] and screaming that TheGMIsACheatingBastard.

Plus, there's something ironic about the Embodiment of Chaos being used in a heavyhanded attempt to force '[[{{Railroading}} Order]]' upon the player party...

[[WMG: For the Royal Wedding, Twilight will MetaGame to figure out that something is affoot.]]
