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.

I'd say that haflway through Arc 1 is where it really takes off. But whatever.
It's almost like there are people in this thread who are fans of it.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayFor Apple Bloom, she has to become a leader and unite her team.
In that case, she's likely a Blood hero, since Blood is tied to unity and relationships. She could be a Seer of Blood, since Seer is generally considered to be a coordination class, directing their team-mates, though she could also be a creator class. that's never been defined, at least not clearly. It's apparently implied that classes don't double up during sessions, and given we have a session of twelve but only ten known classes(12 if you count the Master classes, which don't appear in session of more than three players) there's other roles out there. But Witch is another possibility, as One Who Controls. Given the abundance of building materials in her world, her quest could be to organize the citizens into building something, like a bridge perhaps?
Sweetie has to... Learn to use her magic? Take things seriously? I'm not sure.
Well, in-show Sweetie has been shown to have issues singing in front of ponies, despite it being her talent. I'd suggest making her a Page, especially if you want her to be a shield, as Pages are most likely One who defends using or One Who Equips Others With.
Scootaloo's arc is kinda ripped off from Dave's. She has to stop comparing herself to Dash and be her own mare. She also serves as the team's sword, to compliment Sweetie's shield.
In that case she's most likely a Knight of her aspect. She could have The Land of Glass and Sand, as sand is what glass is made of, and her quest could be to forge something out of the glass and sand? Her aspect could be Life, which can be symbolic of Subversion, as she subverts pegasus norms by being unable to fly. Thus, what she forges would be symbolic of subversion in some way. Something unexpected.
Dinky has to face her inner demons, her anger at how jackasses treat her mother. does that sound dumb?
It doesn't sound dumb per se, but given she's going to be seperated from her mother it's best if her issues to overcome are something more personal. Possibly, dealing with why she's so angry about it?
Interestingly, since her quest is about overcoming Rage, her aspect presents itself in Rage's counterpart: Hope. Because she has to Heal her own rage, a Sylph of Hope, perhaps, as Sylph is a healer class. Hope also represents possibility, and belief, as opposed to Rages singularity, so her quest may involve staving off a disaster or a war. In that case, her land's other element should be something opposed to pastries. Land of Salt and Pastries, perhaps?
And Twist needs to guide the others toward their ultimate goal with her vision. She doesn't need to be heard, she needs to be understood.
Guiding lends itself pretty easily to the Seer class, since that's basically the seer's role. From what we've seen of the comic, seers tend to take on too much responsibility or guilt for their actions, especially in a game heavily based around inevitability. In that regard, her quest could revolve around letting go of something, or absolving herself of some perceived personal failure. Learn to spread the information and move forward, and let them follow.
These are all just suggestions, of course; you're free to consider and ignore them as you see fit.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.It's part of the reason I don't actually recommend people watch MLP unless they're genuinely curious and want to watch an episode. I enjoy the show a lot, but it I know it won't live up to the hype people give it.

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkYeah, the only people I've actually recommended it to are people who share my sense of humor and would find it similarly amusing.
Reaction Image RepositoryAww... there was a brief chance I was gonna have the rest of the week off, and it turnedo ut no pretty much as soon as I got out of the meeting. That sucks. Woulda been cool to have a short week right before my vacation.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayKegi- I really appreciate all the input. Not so sure on some of your classpect ideas though.
For Apple Bloom, I suppose she could be a witch or a blood player. I had her pegged as the Page of Time because the session needs a time player, mainly, and Twilight would be Witch of Blood in the next session. I could mix that up a bit, maybe Twilight would be a better page or someone else could the Time player. Not sure who though.
Sweetie... Not sure. I suppose she could be the page, but then someone besides AB has to be the Maid.
Scootaloo is definitely the Knight. I thought she would be the Hope player too, but that could change I suppose.
Dinky- yeah, exploring WHY shes angry is a good idea. Good point. As for her classpect, I was thinking prince of rage- destroying her own anger.
Rumble- gonna have to get back to you on that. I like "land of clouds and downpour" though.
Twist is definitely the Seer.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Here's a poem I found about Lightning Dust ahem: A pegasus who lives for speed, who's always trying to succeed She puts her flying to the test so she can be the very best
For this brave and fearless flier, success is her greatest desire. Whenever she takes to the air, no warning will make her beware.
Her recklessness can lead to harm, but should not be cause for alarm. Her flying partners always must be careful around Lightning Dust.
"Transform and Roll out!" Optimus PrimeNow you've got me thinking of Cyrano De Bergerac. Stupid English class.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Story And the last poem I did about me and my feelings about telling her about my past experience was all written by me the other like I said found on Devinatart. Poetry is something I've dabbled in it's certainly a great way to express my thoughts on an odd occassion of course.
@Meta Four Naturally I won't use that poem when she comes. I'll just speak from the heart, in other words I'll write my own poems.

Yeah, can't really blame you. I've had that happen to me, where somebody goes on and on about how awesome something is, and then when I get to it it doesn't live up to the hype.
