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 don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Hays of Our Lives, All My Foals, Dapple Gray's Anatomy, As the Alicorn Turns, The Colt and the Beautiful, Canterlot Hills 21090....

On another note, do you think the pony entertainment media makes up fake princesses when they need as a character in a story, or do they just stick with Celestia because they just take it for granted that she's the ruler?

And now I'm imagining Princess Celestia giving the president's speech from Independence Day while being played by Morgan Freeman....

[up]I think it would depend on the work in question. More "realistic" works would probably have her as ruler, while the more out there stuff probably has fictional rulers, just to avoid stepping on any toes. Or hooves.

@Ike: Something like that.

They probably stick with Celestia unless it's fantasy, sci-fi, or set in the long distant past.

Also:

Within these Fields?

Beneath the Apple Boughs?

From One Hoof to Another?

Oh, not a pun. Uh, Wing and a Prayer. The show started out as a star-crossed lover tale between an upper class unicorn stallion and a bad girl pegasus from the wrong side of the clouds, but that original plotline got resolved eight seasons ago when the leads moved on to other projects and they were replaced by an earth pony and another unicorn that wears a pretty unconvincing set of fake wings to play an alicorn who may or may not be Princess Cosmosia's illegitimate daughter by Starspin the Mustachioed's evil twin.

Man, I'm really going to have to dig up some soap cliches for this one.

[up]I may use that. Or something even more cheesy. Like Wings of Passion or something.

You could make it so that the only dialogue from the show we hear is two lovers saying each other's names over and over. I forget where I first saw that gag.

You have to reference My Troubled Pony from that one episode of the grim adventures of billy and Mandy. If you don't I might have to destroy you.

[up]I'll have to see if I can work it in.

Also, the one bit of plot that I have confirmed is that one of the characters is attempting a Baby Trap on another character. It'll be resolved when it turns out that the foal is a changeling.

I'm seriously going to come up with a plot for this, just so that when Luna inevitably summarizes it there's a coherent plotline.

@Irish: I don't know if this is the source of that joke, but the Show Within a Show of Minami Ke features nothing but the two characters yelling each other's names. Even in the videogame:

The only soap opera I've actually watched is Switched at Birth.

[up]I've been looking at that, trying to think of how I could fit all of those into a single plot thread.

Yep, that's what I remember it from. Which is weird because I only ever watched one or two episodes of that show.

I don't see how delivery by birds would be an improvement over dracofax.
Well, unless everyone is either a mailicorn or has a baby dragon at their disposal...

Mailicorn? Is that a male alicorn?

I mean an alicorn that does magical mail. tongue

I don't know if that's an ability inherent to alicorns, or if it's unique to Celestia.

They're wholesome and they're mundane,

farming on healthy terrain.

They're altogether so plain,

the Apple Family!

Their farm's a business franchise,

where ponies find a surprise,

apples sweeter than fantasized.

the Apple family!

SO come on right up,

by wing train or gallop,

we'll top that cider cup,

the Apple Family!

@Dark: That made my day, lad. Definitely brought a good smile upon my face. Makes me think of Big Macintosh as Lurch. (No clue who'd be who otherwise though.)

Anywho, back from final exam and whatnot.
