My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.94n
Surprise & Dash Edition
Brief Introduction
SpoilerMy 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, humor, 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" Google Doc. That is all.
> Okay, I'm going to watch it but this had better live up to the hype!
Whoa, 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. Plus, you might hit the wrong episode. Ask first?
> Iron Hoof/Fan Theories/Shipping/Binding
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. See below for some examples.
> 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, Derpy was deemed important enough to appear in storyboards for Season II.
Dr. Whoof is a pony with an hourglass cutie mark; he and his kin save time and space very quietly off camera.

ATTENTION EVERYPONY!!!
Great & Powerful Trixie made a bet. A bet I'll procure 12 pictures of Trixie - like the one in my sig, of similar quality - before next weekend. Trixie cosplaying, doing weird stuff, finding herself in unusual situations. So! I need ideas! Sketches of Unicorn ponies (I'm willing to vectorize them for free if they're good enough)! Moments from the show showing ponies with unusual poses and/or designs I could use to inspire myself! Finally, if someone would also like to draw something, I'd be glad to repay in some manner :P
Any takers?

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
HOLY CRAP IT'S THE PINKIE PIE CONCEPT WITH PEGASUS WINGS AND IS HER NAME REALLY SURPRISE I CAN'T REMEMBER I LOVE THE WAY THIS VERSION LOOKS.
Seriously, current Pinkie Pie is too pink IMO. Especially for a show that's less girly than the previous seasons. SO MUCH PINK.
Hey! You got a problem with my coat and mane?
E-Er... No, pink one! *Flees*
((Also, I think we should push the other thread to 50 before we start using this thread in earnest, I just reeeeeeally wanted to comment on the opening pic. ))Last edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-09-04 at 07:20 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
I'm not going to claim to understand why you made this thread before the old one was up, Trixie, but at least we managed to finish it off before moving here, lest the mods get upset.
Anyway, on the subject of Nightmare Moon, I really like to think of her as a separate being who gave Luna the power to get revenge, and goaded her into truly acting on it. This leaves Luna in the position of being repentant because she acted far stronger than she ever intended, but knows that it was all her doing, in the end.
Welcome back people who I never met that returned in the last pages of the previous thread!
And lastly, In Thin Air is up on my deviantArt now, if anypony cares. And if anypony has a fitting image for when I go to submit it to ED, I'd be in their debt for quite a while...It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
Nopony is safe from Lix's shipping powers.
I'm not going to lie. This terrifies the hell out of me.
She made it because it was 2 AM where she lives and was exhausted.
I'll give this a read, after I go through my backlog of fics to read. Work has been giving a spot of the old ultraviolence lately, and I have NOT been able to keep up. XDLast edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-09-04 at 07:39 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
Just thought that for people who don't look at the Brony List I'd give an update. Assuming I've been recording everything properly and no repeats (I think bobcat had a duplicate at one point) we are up to 87(including me) bronies only 13 away from being a whole .2% of the playground.
On a related note with how often people share steam names, for TF2 and the like, the offer still stands to add those to the list.
@Fiddler I'm pretty sure the reason why Trixie popped a new thread before the other was done is because of their timezone and sleep time etc.
Edit: And I get Pinkie'd by Titanium. Curse you typing speed! Also I think Pinkie'd will catch on, in this thread at least.
Is it tempting fate to say so far I have been?Last edited by Strife Warzeal; 2011-09-04 at 07:46 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
I can sympathize. Even without work to keep me from reading (not that I wouldn't love to get a job ), my list of "To Read" fics hasn't shrunk any since last time I remember commenting on it. It's at 13 right now, until I finish the latest two chapters of Letters To and From a Princess.
I guess I should have specified that I didn't get why she made it early instead of having somepony else make it. Not that big of a deal though, really.
I'm thedarkfiddler on Steam, but I'm almost never ever on because I have no computer at home that can handle any of the games I have. I'm forced to play at my friend's house.It's been a bit, GitP.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
AWWWWW. *Epic massive hug of doom*
That's funny actually, that's one of the fics on my list too. Actually, right now the first half of the list is as follows (It's split between two computers)...
Secret of the Pegasi
Michael Bay Presents: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Mentar the Magnificent Merchant of Magical Mixtures
Sunset
Slander
Cloudsdale Chronicles
Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons
Sepia Tock: Adventures of the Ponyville Clockmaker
There was quite a bit of drama surrounding a similar issue a while back. Let's just not get into it, alright?

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
A idea: Surprise is Pinkaminas crazy side. As such, if Surprise goes crazy, it would be sanity-shattering so powerful it is like a sonic rainboom.
Instead of little fillys finding there destiny, it drives everything insane.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
Maybe Lix is manifesting her power through me.
...Wait. If that's the case, I am the chosen of the Pink One, I have been infused with Lix's power, and I have become the vassal of Rarity.
...Midnight? Um... Can you please tutor me in controlling arcane power the likes of which no mortal should ever posses? Because I'm fast approaching the Midnight Mare point. Please? I-I mean if that's alright with you.Last edited by Titanium Fox; 2011-09-04 at 08:02 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXII: Surprise!
Sepia Tock was one I read, and it was pretty good (though I've yet to meet a Pony Fic I haven't liked... low standards, good luck, or a discerning eye?), and you've reminded me I need to read Sunset so I can get to Ciroton's newest story... if we're sharing lists, mine is:
Spoiler
Painless
Letters To and From a Princess (mostly finished...)
Out of The Blue
Fell Into The Right Hooves
One Day, They'll Throw Flowers
Within and Without
Slander
Legion of Gloom
The Romancing Quest (which I decided to check out because, despite its name, it is not tagged [shipping] )
The Combinatorics Project
The Secret Tub Fun series
Cloudsdale Chronicles
Sunset
Clash of The Heavenly Titans
For Want of A Dawn
And I'm also keeping watch on at least five fics. The fact that so many have caught my attention and made me want to continue watching for updates really says something about the quality of work in the fandom, I think.
I was hoping to get as much of the mane cast in the picture as possible, but those are all really good and I might use them, even if I can find one with more of the mane cast.Last edited by The Dark Fiddler; 2011-09-04 at 08:04 PM.
