In Our Hearts and Hooves: A My Little Pony discussion thread

I have to say though, Ud, unfortunately, I see Tony's reaction as landing somewhere around "flattered but not interested." Though it would be hilarious if the others just keep assuming they're dating while Fluttershy is a Dogged Nice Girl and he's just frustrated it keeps happening.

Tony and Fluttershy?

...

I see no semblance of compatibility between them. I'd be more worried about Rarity going psycho over him.

Actually, Fluttershy and Steve would probably be the fluffiest, purest, most adorable little relationship ever...but he's already got at least one Ship Tease, and possibly more on the horizon, heh.

Tony, I really don't see with any of them, and not just because of the whole "GOD I HATE MAGIC" thing.

Right now the only person I can see Shep with is Cap. Though that's mostly because Steve is the only well-balanced group member Shepard's really been talking to.

That and I might throw in an ME romance just because. Which means that I could end up ponifying another Mass Effect character and slinging them into this mess later...

@Sparky: If they're not human, make them some kinda fantasy and/or livestock equivalent to ponies. It would be more sensible that way. For example, turians into alien griffons, etc.

...Garrus as a griffon?

This I do like. Now I actually want to do this.

Other ideas:

• Krogan: Large Boars
• Quarian: Ponies, but in there regular containment suits
• Asari: Reptilian deer/elks
• Drell: Some sort of horse-iguana hybrid
• Volus: Really fat pig-goat hybrid
• Salarians: Frog life creatures
• Vorcha: Wolf-Tiger hybrid
• Batarians: Donkeys
• Elcor: Unchanged

I had another idea, for a guy piloting an Atlas-class Assault BattleMech to get warped here. He would be ponified, and the cockpit would change to match.

Problem; the Atlas, though it remains an Atlas, is shrunken down to six feet like a regular human, and the pilot goes mini-pony. The Atlas suffers appropriate firepower and protection reductions.

I think the only way that could work (other than what will likely explain it, Discord madness) would be if the mech immediately fell into a patch of Poison Joke.

Keep the Atlas the same size and shape, bu the pilot as a pony.

Good explanation, minus Poison Joke probably doesn't work on robots.

The official explanation for that is "magicu."

We don't know that, plus it likely works off of magic, which robots... from what I recall, have absolutely no protection against.

First off I'm not playing it due to B-Company and Shep being five chars.

Second, the reason the Atlas gets shrunk is so that you don't have an extremely powerful Assault 'Mech curbstomping enemies.

Wait until someone breaks open the Gates of Tartarus......

In that case I'm fairly sure they could use the Elements of Harmony to buff the thing to normal size so it can go stomp things.

Another reason is mini-pony shenanigans.

While I do like the idea of a giant mech stomping around, it actually is not a good idea as while it likely can deal with the first two threats we will encounter, the third would blow it to little bits and then we'd have a fusion reactor going critical and the fall out from that.

And...

"HERE's TWILIGHT!" XD

@Reven: Did you ask Bindle's permission to do that?

Has Bindle posted?

I'll edit it out but still >.>

He hasn't. But he hasn't voiced any intention of dropping out either.

I'd say if a game has been active for...what...nearly a month now, and the character hasn't been used once, one might want to consider them abandoned. So yeah, someone might want to ask Bindle if he's even still interested in playing.

Want me to try and PM Bindle?

I already took care of it.

Anyways, my suggested plot:

Dreamtrapped
Summary: One night when a majority of our characters have fallen asleep, they will awaken to a stranger reality: the Dream Bubbles. These Dream Bubbles randomly show to the sleepers fragments of their past, only messed up somehow. Warped pasts, where things have not happened where they should have or things have happened when they shouldn't have- in short, alternate timelines. Elements of every character's past blend together seamlessly, challenging and taunting the dreaming ponies with visions of what could have been, and showing these characters things about themselves they may not have wanted others or possibly even themselves to know. And sometimes, elements of seemingly unrelated people appear. One such person is a mysterious gray-skinned and horned girl by the name of Aranea Serket who guides our ponies through their dreams and offers them advice.
Goals: There are no explicit antagonists to be found in this arc (unless we want one, in which case I can probably use Meenah). Rather, the point of this arc is as more of an internal struggle with the self- a chance to heal and develop for our characters, and shed some light on backstory elements. Sufficient stimulation in a Dream Bubble or to the real body would awaken the character from the dream, and if it goes over well the dream states could recur every now and then, but I'm thinking too far ahead. I'd like this challenge to be after a few other arcs have elapsed, to give the dreams more recent experiences with the whole group to depict.
NPCS: Aranea Serket, definitely; other Homestuck characters are a possibility. I'll play all the NPC.

Interesting. Could be a chance to let Evil Cole loose.

I see no problem on this. It'll probably even heal Shep earlier as a form of aggressive "things could be worse" therapy.

Yeah.sounds fine to me. though my guess is that HUNK even with the dream bubbles,he still will be the cold blooded Token Evil Teammate everyone loves.
