    Default My Little Pony IX: The Best Thread Ever



    Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.9d
    Spitfire & Wonderbolts Edition!


    Brief Introduction

    Spoiler
    Show
    My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a reboot of the MLP franchise by Powerpuff Girls artist Lauren Faust, currently viewed by (almost) the entire internet, not only the intended audience. Here is a place where we discuss the joy of friendship.

    > My Little Pony? Seriously?

    It's a clever show. It has excellent writing, character dynamics, humour, animation, and generally treats kids seriously rather than condescending to them. It has every right to be a 20 minute corporate committee designed infomercial, but it's not.

    > Isn't this a show for little girls?

    Pixar technically makes shows for little boys, and produce some of the best animation in the world.

    > Okay, fine. I'll give it a try. Where do I start?

    No brony could ask for more. I recommend watching the episodes in order. They're all up on Youtube. Unusually, Hasbro seems fine with having the entire series up in public because they've made no move to bring down any of the episodes. Search for "Friendship is Magic Episode 1" and you should find the series pretty easily... Or search for "Sharing is Magic". That is all.

    > Okay, I'm going to watch it but this had better live up to the hype!

    Woah, calm down there. The show is light hearted, optimistic fun but it's not for everyone. It's good fun, the community is good fun, and everyone can do with a reminder that friendship is magic but if it doesn't gel for you we'll love and tolerate you anyway.

    > Iron Hoof/Fan Theories/Shipping

    All in good fun! If it's not your cup of tea, skim it, but this show has triggered a great creative outpouring from the internet. Pony themed fan-art is abundant and often excellent.

    > Derpy Hooves/Doctor Whoof

    Two minor background characters who were adopted as emblems of 4chan. Derpy Hooves is so named due to an animation error in the first episode that had her eyes facing in different directions; 4chan has assigned her the role of Ponyville's mailpony, and her only line so far has been "Muffins". The show's animators are aware of Derpy's popularity and she's shown up a few times recently with her eyes obviously derped. Currently made canon in Feeling Pinkie Keen and in Faust's picture showcased below.

    Dr. Whoof is a pony with an hourglass cutie mark; he saves time and space very quietly off camera.

    If you haven't already, go to Equestria Daily, and listen to Super Ponybeat's Luna (Nightlife Jazz) while also listening to RainyMood. It's like ambrosia to the ears. No, really. Go and listen now.



    Also, wasn't the official title for this going to be Wonderbolt/Spitfire themed? The Best Thread Ever? I remember that from the last thread. I'll go look it up, in fact.

    Anything is possible when you're motivated by guilt and pride. I'm on a Phoe.
    In case this was missed on the last thread.

    The best part is, that's not even the end. I've still got my big meta-twist to pull off, and I can only hope that I've foreshadowed it strongly enough that it won't come off as the fic's jumping-shark moment.

    But I've got an absolutely adorable Braeburn/Dash moment coming up, that's hilarious (IMO) to boot. So... that shall be written! Soonish! Hopefully before June proper so I can start on my first start-to-finish novel! And more fanfiction, because I'm Crazy Raz, Writer Extraordinare!

    This is the best. You have my full approval.

Too bad that Nightmare Moon was slithering around on the moon like Venom.

    Okay, enough of this namby romance, it's time for an unprovoked and brutal direct assault!

    Braeburn's voice is as annoying as his face,
    It'd be best for all if he left the pony race,
    Pure stupidity to try and make him a star
    His murder of acting will leave an ugly scar.
    How undignified. Watch, and see how a true poet composes his work!

    Silly Thanqol can't
    See how awesome Braeburn is
    Embrace the truth, bro

    That reminds me. Have we seen any Pony/Teen Titan fics? Because we must have one. And Rainbow Dash could race Kid Flash! And Twilight could compare notes with Raven and note the similarity in their voices! Pinkie Pie and Starfire would have the best party ever! And Applejack would learn all about modern agricultural techniques with Cyborg!

    This leaves Rarity and Robin. This would either be the best thing or the worst thing ever.

    Somepony must write this.

    "oh, boy. Um... Wow. Oh boy."
    paced back in front of the big stalli--colt, we will use the word 'colt', this isn't a tawdry romance novel! he paced in front of the large colt, trying not to stare at the prominent muscles just under the warm, russet coat.

    Big McIntosh's frame was impassive, his face unreadable. The crisp scent of green apples and sweat reached Siuis's nose and-
    "Ach! Focus, focus! You're a wizard, for crying out loud! This should be second nature by now..." Anxiety rolled off the diminutive equine in waves, seemingly guiding his blind walk around the larger pony.

    "Is somethin' the matter?" Big Mac said. No, intoned, his words reverberated like a bell, deep and bronze. Siuis looked up, catching the other's gaze.. The sound was impressive, even without the Ship Note. And his eyes!

    Even in the midst of such turmoil, Bic Mac's eyes were placid, gentle. Siuis swore he could hear birdsong, even see the gently moving leaves in the woods, green, so very green, and so full of life, and-

    Siuis tore his gaze away, swearing.
    "Gracious! And I bet Lix not did this because I'm in the same room as she is, too. I can't believe that just happened, I ... .... .. .... ...." his voice fell in volume, becoming a barely whispered mumble at the end.

    "I'm sorry?" Big Mac said, genuine concern ringing his normally serene voice. "I didn't hear you."

    If it were possible for a motionless pony to freeze in place, then that is what Siuis did. He scrutinized the floor with a force that could rival Fluttershy, a burning red bit of snout just visible under the brim of his hat.
    "I said I can't believe I got lost in your eyes."

    Big Mac's face softened into a gentle smile. "you know, 'ship fic' is a term for a broad category of lit'rature, only a fraction end in erotica, whether explicit or implied."

    Siuis looked slowly up at the slab of colt, with a look that could only be described as 'blinkered'. Before he could speak, Big Mac's head turned just so, his eyes shifting their liquid emerald gaze far over the wizard's shoulder. Siuis felt the motion, the force behind Big macintosh's eyes compelling him to turn.

    Big Macintosh was looking out a massive window, normally viewing the intricate dance of the stars. Siuis backed up and stood flank to flank (
    Totally not a cuddle, just changing my POV to match his. Right? Ach, dammit brain!) and chuckled. Viewed from the personal command deck's leisure room, Equestrian earth was bathed at the edges by the gently diffused light of the sun.

    "Big Mac, are we... Are we watching the sunset together?"

    "EEE-yup."

    "oh. This is..." Siuis shifted, settling his weight more firmly onto the wall that was the apple farmer's flank. "This is nice."

    A rainbow blur marred the perfect scene. Down was up, left was back, silence! Noise! Motion without motion in the void of space...

    Siuis noted that he was staring at a wall. Or the floor. Ceiling? Ceiling.

    Lix Lorn, ten yards away, lay on her side, manic smile juxtaposed with a glazed look of contentment on her face. Even Big McIntosh looked perturbed, his normally perfect posture canter ever so slightly to the side. All three had traces of lipstick about them.

    Lix giggled. "I think we just made out with Rainbow Dash!"

    yeah, ever since firefox, we've been having trouble enforcing the command protocols. All you need are the browser and a pony pic anywhere in the system you use to access the command prompts. Horrid really, but let's be fair; the OFC was designed with principles of magic in mind. The satellite? It's a shell, so no one freaks out about an array of crystals, alchemical regents and a consecrated skull from a unicorn willing to give their life for friendship floating through space. There may also be salamanders, I forget.

    The white background horse stared shyly at the object of his affections, and sighed.

    Their love could never be; Halftangible was a person using an avatar representation in digital space; he himself was just a background element to flesh out such an avatar. Theirs were different worlds. And yet...

    White background horse squinted, strained his vision. The fourth wall was out there, he could _feel_ it. Constraining him, enforcing these codes of behaviour that kept him and his love forever apart. If only he could find a way through, some crack or seam, surely he could find a fabled "avatarist" who could grant his wish?

    It was a desperate plan, and foolish, he knew. But white background horse would persevere, until the day he could munch oats and roll in the grass, free with his desired one. However long that day took to come.


    Sorry mate, couldn't resist. You gave me the perfect set up. Hope I didn't cross a line, so lemme know if it's too much, aye?

    Also, curves are hard. I still can't draw a damn circle. I just end up tracing soda caps if it has to be a good one.

    Quoted for easy access at a later date.

    Also, first thing I thought when you said "I'm on a Phoe" was the picture of Baron Awesome on on Thanqfilly's back.

    Only now I'm seeing you waving a a cowboy hat as she plummets off a cliff to avoid said Thanq's art. Haha.

    No, a wizard's mind is his sanctum, and is inviolate. Me and the lich have that in common.

    Which reminds me, anyone seen the commodore? I may have to grab a handful of his dust and reinstate his mortal shell. Then we can talk about ponies some more.

    Big McIntosh's frame was impassive, his face unreadable. The crisp scent of green apples and sweat reached Siuis's nose and-
    "Ach! Focus, focus! You're a wizard, for crying out loud! This should be second nature by now..." Anxiety rolled off the diminutive equine in waves, seemingly guiding his blind walk around the larger pony.

    "Is somethin' the matter?" Big Mac said. No, intoned, his words reverberated like a bell, deep and bronze. Siuis looked up, catching the other's gaze.. The sound was impressive, even without the Ship Note. And his eyes!

    Even in the midst of such turmoil, Bic Mac's eyes were placid, gentle. Siuis swore he could hear birdsong, even see the gently moving leaves in the woods, green, so very green, and so full of life, and-

    Siuis tore his gaze away, swearing.
    "Gracious! And I bet Lix not did this because I'm in the same room as she is, too. I can't believe that just happened, I ... .... .. .... ...." his voice fell in volume, becoming a barely whispered mumble at the end.

    "I'm sorry?" Big Mac said, genuine concern ringing his normally serene voice. "I didn't hear you."

    If it were possible for a motionless pony to freeze in place, then that is what Siuis did. He scrutinized the floor with a force that could rival Fluttershy, a burning red bit of snout just visible under the brim of his hat.
    "I said I can't believe I got lost in your eyes."

    Big Mac's face softened into a gentle smile. "you know, 'ship fic' is a term for a broad category of lit'rature, only a fraction end in erotica, whether explicit or implied."

    Siuis looked slowly up at the slab of colt, with a look that could only be described as 'blinkered'. Before he could speak, Big Mac's head turned just so, his eyes shifting their liquid emerald gaze far over the wizard's shoulder. Siuis felt the motion, the force behind Big macintosh's eyes compelling him to turn.

    Big Macintosh was looking out a massive window, normally viewing the intricate dance of the stars. Siuis backed up and stood flank to flank (
    Totally not a cuddle, just changing my POV to match his. Right? Ach, dammit brain!) and chuckled. Viewed from the personal command deck's leisure room, Equestrian earth was bathed at the edges by the gently diffused light of the sun.

    "Big Mac, are we... Are we watching the sunset together?"

    "EEE-yup."

    "oh. This is..." Siuis shifted, settling his weight more firmly onto the wall that was the apple farmer's flank. "This is nice."

    A rainbow blur marred the perfect scene. Down was up, left was back, silence! Noise! Motion without motion in the void of space...

    Siuis noted that he was staring at a wall. Or the floor. Ceiling? Ceiling.

    Lix Lorn, ten yards away, lay on her side, manic smile juxtaposed with a glazed look of contentment on her face. Even Big McIntosh looked perturbed, his normally perfect posture canter ever so slightly to the side. All three had traces of lipstick about them.

    Lix giggled. "I think we just made out with Rainbow Dash!"


    All tags done by hand. Wish I could use the GUI....



    yeah, ever since firefox, we've been having trouble enforcing the command protocols. All you need are the browser and a pony pic anywhere in the system you use to access the command prompts. Horrid really, but let's be fair; the OFC was designed with principles of magic in mind. The satellite? It's a shell, so no one freaks out about an array of crystals, alchemical regents and a consecrated skull from a unicorn willing to give their life for friendship floating through space. There may also be salamanders, I forget.

    The white background horse stared shyly at the object of his affections, and sighed.

    Their love could never be; Halftangible was a person using an avatar representation in digital space; he himself was just a background element to flesh out such an avatar. Theirs were different worlds. And yet...

    White background horse squinted, strained his vision. The fourth wall was out there, he could _feel_ it. Constraining him, enforcing these codes of behaviour that kept him and his love forever apart. If only he could find a way through, some crack or seam, surely he could find a fabled "avatarist" who could grant his wish?

    It was a desperate plan, and foolish, he knew. But white background horse would persevere, until the day he could munch oats and roll in the grass, free with his desired one. However long that day took to come.

    Hi new thread!

    Bye new thread, eating time! I just spent five hours helping who has English as a second language learn biological anthropology. I'll have to spend another five hours tomorrow, if I'm lucky. It's Miller Time. And by Miller Time, I mean go wander until I find food. Since I don't drink. I wish this town had a restaurant called Miller's, or else I'd be able to make that joke better. Ah well.

    Here is the start of a My Little Pony joint fan fiction to get this thread rolling:

    Spoiler
    Show
    Marcus Williams somehow ends up in Bneinbien on Equestria. He notices what seem to be corrupted ponies corrupting other ponies. A mare drops her filly at his feet to protect the filly (light tan earth pony with brick red mane and tail show horse style) from the corruption than takes off in another direction. As the mare gets corrupted, Marcus protects the filly with his body. Because the corruption was designed with ponies in mind, Marcus being a human was immune to it.

    Marcus uses a special radio to single: "Marcus to Megabase, port us back now."

    Those at Megabase respond: "But we only 1 person through and that is you and unless something is wrong with our sensors than you are still just 1 person."

    Marcus replies: "That is true but I'm taking a pony from over here back with me to protect it from the mass spreading corrupt to the ponies over here."

    Those at Megabase decided the best thing to do with that information was to portal Marcus and the pony into an anti-corruption decontamination chamber. The last thing any of them heard that came from Eqauestria is "We can't go after any other pony on this side of that portal until we drag that one back force into the ranks as otherwise the prophecy: "The last pony rather earth, unicorn, or pegasus will displace your plans of conquest as if you never began them in the first place as he or she will be out of your range of influence until it is too late to do anything about it." by that pony that was just kidnapped."

    As Marcus and the pony ended up in the designated chamber, the portal closes and Marcus decided on what to call the pony.

    Marcus states, "I shall call the pony I took Miracle since it was a miracle I was there at all in time to save it."

    [b[Years later[/b]

    In the Williams's house, living room to be preside, Marcus watches television with his parents as well as Miracle. Miracle now has a high def flat screen television for a cutie mark which she ended up getting because the first time the Williams's family let her actually watch television that she really got interested in it. As for why they let her in the house at all, she is the only 1 of their ponies that cleans up after herself and is housebroken.

    Miracle is also the hardest working pony on their farm which already had the hardest working ponies on the planet. But what really surprised the Williams's family is she is growing slower than the other ponies on the farm that the family suspects that it will be about 11-14 years before she is at her full size.

    After reading the fic, it appears to be a ship of that horse in your avy. But you're right, and shipping people without their permission is a great way to get the thread closed, guys.

    Welp. Just binged on all of Misted Stage. A few days after busting through FFF and Beyond Forever. To any writers in the room, please read the following:

    Spoiler
    Show
    I know I'm more of a lurker, I don't post too much, and I haven't really hurt anyone through this, but I just feel that I have to say something:

    I'm sorry.

    See, if you had come up to me a few months ago, and told me that you had a fanfic you wanted me to proofread, a bit of me would be throwing up inside. I don't know where I picked it up, and I'm ashamed of it now, but I hated fanfiction. I mean, shoot, I've never even read bad fanfiction before. I guess the hatred just osmosis-ized from the internet somewhere. But reading your stories made me realize that I can't overlook work like this just because of the source material or medium. Heck, I'm a game designer (in training), I should be on your side to begin with! We get a bad rap just because we make games and not books or movies. So who am I to look down on someone just because their medium/genre/whatever turns out occasionally disturbing work?

    The point is, I've not been giving you guys the chance you deserve, and I feel rotten about it. That, and this is probably fueled by late-night over-thought melodrama, so I'm going to purposefully cut this short before I cross some invisible line of forum etiquette.

    tl dr; NEVER. STOP. WRITING. You've turned a hater into a writer on skill alone.


    And to anyone else, the Inspiration Train took a stop in "Smacking Me Upside the Headville", and I think I have an idea for a fanfic I'd like to write. Would have posted the summary sooner, only I realized I didn't quite like how the plot flowed as I was writing it, and decided it needed a bit more time to percolate.

    Le Summary:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The story follows Luna directly after she returns. She struggles with rumors regarding her banishment, but finds comfort in finally being able to return to making the night again. After a while, though, she feels the same feelings of jealousy rising up in her. Although she regrets what she tried to do, she can't help but be sore that nopony will notice the beautiful nights she's making. It comes to a head one night where, distracted by her thoughts, she messes up several major constellations.

    And no one notices.

    Despondent, she tries to stop caring about her job. After all, if she puts less effort and heart into it, maybe she won't be as jealous. After a while, she can't stand not doing what she loves, but can't do it anymore because she knows her jealousy will return. She goes to talk to Celestia about it the day before the Summer Sun Festival. However, she learns that her older sister has been watching her raise the moon every night, and really enjoys it. She didn't notice the stars out of place because, quite frankly, she wasn't very good at making night herself during the banishment. Furthermore, she reveals that in the time Luna's been gone, she's changed the Summer Sun Festival to include an all-night party, so when her sister came back, she would always have a night where everypony could see her work. Luna goes to raise the moon, encouraged, and determined to show everypony the "Best Night Ever."

    Go for it. It sounds interesting enough, very episode-ish if that's the word for it. (and more normal Luna/Celestia love is always good. Gotta take a break from all those Trollestia fics.)

    Only for as long as you continue to win. (Also, the act seven twist was totally cribbed from Study in Rainbows).

    Soooo meaaaaan, Thanqy. That only works on little sisters.
    Gasp! Phoe is my sister?

    when Rainbow kisses
    your detective Rarity
    Scootaloo breaks down
    When dresses are white as Winter snow,
    And joyous songs are in the air
    Scootaloo's tears do freely flow,
    "I always cry at weddings, I fear,"

    The sun is high, the skies are clear
    Yet it was o'ercast ten seconds past
    Her eyes hold no hesitation and no fear,
    Rarity's Rainbow, here at last.

    All of their differences are in the past
    Braeburn? He never had a chance
    Rainbow's heart has fallen far, and fast
    Other fillies receive not a glance.

    Hark at last, for here she comes, gleaming, shining down the aisle.
    As good as dreams dream to be; for Rainbow Dash dresses in style!

    CRYPTICALLY HAMMY! INDEED!
    MYSTIFYINGLY HAMMY!
