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.

Even a breif reference can break suspension of disbelief if it doesn't fit in unverse.
How would that work? Samsa wakes up as a bug in Equestria?
What does being wimpy have to do with honesty?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Story: Could be someone randomly waking up in Equestria and freaking out, a pony waking up as a human, a human just waking up as a pony and people finding it weird that he's suddenly become something from a show...
Granted a glance over the trope page shows it's a largely metaphorical thing so it wouldn't really translate overall, I guess.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Hey guys. Fluffy Pony was flagged for P5
and the page on the surface looks like grimdarkest stuff possible - however pretty much all grimdark is added by one guy.
Could you hop by with more points of view on them fluffs?
That could also work.
Actually, given the perceived differences between their world and ours, it would be interesting to take a look at what exactly could drive a pony to mental illness.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.@Kegisak: Yeah The Metamorphosis is largely a metaphor for loneliness and estrangement. The fact that he's a bug isn't really focused on as much as the fact that he's functionally isolated from the rest of humanity. That said, a story focusing on similar themes (i.e. a pony who won't or can't have meaningful interaction with pony society) would be really interesting, and you could add human-in-Equestria vibes to it. Maybe a human ends up in Equestria and ends up just isolating themselves because they're in denial about where they are.
Reaction Image RepositorySo, since it's clear to us that the keys will come from episodes where each pony focuses on the element they had, two questions occur to me. First; what will Twilight's episode be like? The situation usually has to get pretty dire indeed before she starts losing faith in their friendship as a whole.
Secondly, what about the fact that one of hte keys is a consumable item?
"Alright. We've gathered almost all the items. Now all we need is Rarity's key."
"And which one was that?"
"The thread."
"The... thread?"
"Yes. The spool of rainbow thread you received from Coco Pommel? That you got it by inspiring generosity in someone who'd seen the dark side of your profession has got to make it a key. You still have it, right?"
"..."
"Rarity?"
"...Do you remember the Prism Couture outfit I wore to the Winter Moon fesival?"
@Enlong: Well, next week she has a cranky and ill Discord to deal with and entertain while Cady is about to come in.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!Why would she use that thread? And besides, they could always pull it back out unless she sold it.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThey're kinda like little Shugo Chara
Ace: Alicorn!Anna is really cute, but Alicorn!Elsa looks like a human head glued onto a long neck, which is then glued onto a a human body that was dyed blue and then had a horn and wings tacked on. :|
Re: Fluffy: Not familiar with it, but on a quick skim, wow, that's pretty ethically-bleak universe.

It's all in the jawlines, methinks.

FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiIt appears that most of the dark stuff was added by one person back in December.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayStory: Ah. The premise itself still sits a bit uncomfortably with me, though.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiIt's likely there are Griffons living in Equestria, even born in Equestria, but ethnically not native. Like Japanese people born and raised in Vancouver.
Or White people in North America, for that matter.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.I think the premise is basically just 'there are fluffy ponies'. People make up their own backstories. For example, there's no sign of any of that here

Bright colours are typically an honesty trait. As such, if humans were brightly coloured, the wimpy ones like myself would be less brightly coloured and would be considered even more unattractive.
