A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Reminds me of a suggestion that Fighters could use Intimidate checks to open doors.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWell... I'll start off with three of them that a former Troper made into Ponies...
Tina: She's a gamer girl, but she's mostly a fan of Nintendo. The poor girl's had such a hard life when she turned 10, due to her parents dying in a fiery car wreck, and her being in said car. She got rescued, but some bleach and pink cotton candy coloring poured all over her hair prior to it, causing her hair to be permanently dyed pink, and smelling like cotton candy. She was horribly bullied, which almost led to her death, had not been for a kind-hearted boy cheering her up. Since then, her life took a change for the better.
Luka: She's a Friend to All Animals, and it shows. But she's a LOT different from her parents, who are poachers. She also doesn't show it, but she's also of high wealth, thanks to her parent's cell phone company. When attending public school for the first time, she met a group of punk girls, called "The Peaceful Paws", who are into animals the same way she is. From there, Luka would change from looking like she's rich to looking like she would feel in place with the punk scene. But she still keeps her gentle personality.
Whitney: She's injury prone, hyper, and all in all a cool gal to have by your side. Having a LONG laundry list of injuries she accidentally obtained over the years (Thankfully, no broken bones), Whitney faces each day with a smile. She does care deeply for her friends, and if she feels they are threatened, she will fight the threat to the death, even if said threat is a dolly of Godzilla proportions, to a skeleton pirate...
Just floating around...I don't think the stare would work on inanimate objects. It kinda requires eye contact.

Rule Of Funy. A can quivering and hurriedly opening it's lid in agitation over the Stare sounds hilarius enough to justify it as a quick gag.
Oh my fucking god this is the most adorable thing ever.

@Ike: careful linking that pic. that much adorableness in one sitting has been known to kill people.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.IT'S A RISK I'M WILLING TO TAKE.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeee x3

They're poachers and run a cellphone company too?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayRule Of Funny. A can quivering and hurriedly opening it's lid in agitation over the Stare sounds hilarius enough to justify it as a quick gag.
Season 5, Episode 11: "These Eyes".
Synopsis: Fluttershy teaches Pinkie Pie "The Stare". Has she inadvertently doomed Equestria?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I understand that it's intended to be a joke, and maybe I should bring this up in some other topic, but I kind of find it offensive when people say that looking at a cute thing will hurt them, like giving them diabetes or a heart attack. I guess I see it as kind of an insult to cute things because it's saying that if you look at them, you will get a disease or die because of it. Not to mention I live with dogs who I think are the most adorable things ever (particularly my Luna, the Pomeranian) and thus if it was true that looking at cuteness gave people diabetes/heart attacks I would have died from both long ago.
I know it's kind of me being Literal-Minded (probably because of my Aspergers) but I really hate that metaphor, and I also hate the trope name Tastes Like Diabetes. I think it should be "Annoyingly Cutesy" or something like that.
On a happier note (or at least a less complaining note), Fluttershy opening the can with the Stare makes me think of the book Matilda. This is because her telekinesis was described as coming from her eyes, like she was using the Stare to manipulate objects by looking at them hard.

I prefer the movie. Maybe someone should make a Trunchbull pony?
Matilda's Cutie Mark: A book, due to her love of reading.
Miss Honey's Cutie Mark: A jar of honey, due to her sweetness.
Trunchbull's Cutie Mark: A Shot-putt, due to, well, her skills at the Olympic sport.

That would be an interesting villain to be a foil to Cheerilee. Maybe as a substitute teacher or she could be teaching the class something that Cheerilee doesn't normally teach so she sent for a different pony who is more of an expert in that topic, but didn't know that the other teacher would be that cruel.

It's also potentially insulting to people who actually have diabetes.

Or maybe, as a shoutout/parental bonus?

Just floating around...@storyyeller: That's another reason I hate that trope name as well.
@Diurnal Brocolli: I love that! I would want to see a Willy Wonka story, but only if they turned one of the ponies into a blueberry because that's my favorite part of the movie for some weird reason.
