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.

Oh ha ha, very funny Syd.
Just my honest opinion.
@Blissey: oh come on! don't make me choose like that! they're both cute!
@Shipping wars: I was wondering, are there any Lyra/Vinyl Scratch fics out there? I know that it would be very rare, since both of them are normally paired with other ponies (Bon Bon and Octavia, respectively), but I was curious because they're both very popular background ponies and they both have music-related cutie marks. I also know that part of the Vinyl/Octavia ship's appeal is the "opposites attract" image because of the idea that they would have a "rock music vs. classical music" kind of conflict, which Vinyl wouldn't necessarily have with Lyra. Although Lyra is often assumed to play the lyre or the harp, which is also associated with classical music so that still could be potential conflict with Vinyl Scratch.
Although I prefer imagining that Vinyl Scratch likes all kinds of music, since then she could have appropriate sets of music for all sorts of occasions that she might be asked to play as a DJ at. (and maybe because I happen to like both classical and rock music myself and don't think that liking one means that you have to hate the other)
@Luna question: I kind of like the idea of her having darker skin as a human, because her body as a pony is very dark-colored and so it would retain that aspect of her image. However, giving her lighter skin would fit with the idea of her as being nocturnal so she wouldn't be out in the sun much (unless there is such a thing as a moon-tan for Luna), so I can see reasons for both versions.

I tend to see Luna as being really pasty due to never going out much during the day, and Celestia being really tanned because of the whole sun thing.
Reaction Image RepositoryI can't really see Luna ever having much of a tan, for the reasons given above.
@ Rainbow: I don't pay much attention to fics, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a Lyra/Vinyl Scratch fic out there somewhere. Everypony is shipped with everypony in this fandom, after all.
I'm surprised that I've only seen a couple of Lyra/Vinyl Scratch pictures, at most. One just had Lyra at the turntable while Vinyl looked on.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayOn the Luna debate, I'd say pale as hell. On the Daring Do thing, I'm guessing a lot of fanon will be contradicted.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.Yeah, there was a hint in one of the issues that Twilight's mom wrote the books. It's pretty ambiguous, though.
Reaction Image RepositoryIt's instinctual. It's there to encourage us to look after something that might possibly be our babies. Except it has a ridiculous lack of discernment.
@ Star: I was catching up with the thread this morning, and thought, "Wasn't it something like 5:30 in the morning where Star is?"
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Wow, I don't know how you can manage. I went to bed at 3 and got up at 8:30, and I take a lot of naps and still feel tired.

So...that A.K. Yearling looks awfully familiar. Can't quite put my hoof on it...
