Yeah, she's sort of a split between a witch doctor/shaman and an apothecary.

@Teeth: Is it bad that I misread that as a which doctor and acolyte?

i can't hear Witch Doctor without thinking of Doctor Facilier. a ponyfied, or maybe in this case zebrafied, duel between him and Zeccora would be awesome.

@Syd: I think it's because of the way it got hyped up as being so extremely crazy and disjointed, that it surprised me because there were only a few parts where plot points got left behind. Also, because of the way it was talked about, I assumed that it would have many more grammar and spelling mistakes than it turned out to have. And maybe I just have a high tolerance for weirdness in fiction, too. The invading octopus ponies were defeated by the power of love, which fits within in the general series anyway, and the pendant Octavia had turned out to be important for defeating the invaders, so that got used too. About the only things that were forgotten was the part about the trains being on a explosion crash course and maybe Octavia getting her memory back. I thought it reminded me of Puni Puni Poemi not only because that's also a show that gets hyped as being "super crazy" and "has no plot" when it actually does have a plot, but Puni Puni Poemi also involves aliens with tentacles invading and they are defeated by the power of love between two female characters.

Guess we'll have to try to make the next one more absurd.

If there's another one, I definitely want in on it. I have an idea for the next one. Maybe it could star one of the toyline only ponies that doesn't usually get much attention in the fandom. That way, people could make up their own personality for him/her.

@Dark: I can't help but imagine that old Witch Doctor song or perhaps the Voodoo Lady from Monkey Island.

@Rainbow

That's a great idea. What toyline pony do you have in mind?

I get the idea that if we did that, their personality is going to end up being widely inconsistent. Perfect. evil grin

Time to break out some toyline backcards.

@Luminosity: Some ideas I thought of for toyline-only ponies: Maybe someone like Cupcake (she could discover the fanfic called Cupcakes) or Lily Blossom, who looks kind of similar to Derpy and could be Derpy's relative who is Derpy's opposite because the backcards describe her as being graceful. Cherry Pie (pink unicorn with a yellow mane and a cherry pie cutie mark) could be a relative of Pinkie's. And those are just ideas that would tie them to canon characters or to infamous fanfics.

@Japanese Teeth: That's one reason I thought using toyline-only ponies would be a fun idea for a fanfic of that nature.

Is there a list of toy only ponies anywhere?

Sounds like a plan. Although we should probably figure out what to do with the current one before we start on anything.

@story. Look in the toyline exclusive portion of the character page.

If anyone here is thinking of getting that odd pony dating sim that's been getting news lately, hold on to your money because it may be a scam.

I just learned over at KYM that there's some evidence showing that the "creators" of the sim might actually just be a couple of comedians who want to rob bronies of money. Also, the screenshots might also just be photoshoped images, but that I don't really know.

Just saying, be careful out there.

Star Swirl Academy isn't the fake one, IIRC.

But it can't be anything but free because copyright, can it?.

Yeah, I wouldn't put money into it in any case because 1. I don't really care about dating sims 2. that's kind of a copyright violation.
