My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.94n
Guess Who 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?

That, that was a good thread. Got away with double dipping into two genocidal cults with absolutely no repercussions.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
NEW THREAD CREEPY THOUGHT!
(Discord-related)
Spoiler
Discord is one of those beings that exist to balance out the existance of something else, in this case the Elements of Harmony. If he is ever destroyed he'll be recreated for the sole purpose of maintaining the balance.
The only way to turn him to stone was for Celestia and Luna to destroy his old form and transform him as he reformed. What they didn't know is that it's the Elements themselves that create the new body for him. Why can't Celestia and Luna use the Elements themselves? Because like Twilight they need friends who embody the Elements to use them. And the process of turning Discord to stone resulted in him needing a new body, which the Elements were only too happy to provide. And I'm sure Celestia and Luna wouldn't want to turn the Elements against their friends.
You are now picturing what will happen to Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie if Twilight destroys Discord.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
The birth of a new thread is a glorious time. The pegasuses flutter down from on high, the earth ponies frolic in the hills. Unicorns emerge from their libraries, to revel in the joy of creation.
Glad tidings are paid to the Princess of the Sun, the Princess of the Moon, and the Elements of Harmony. Episode discussion begins again, unabated and eager. Fanworks and OC ponies celebrate in the continued survival of the place where they are most welcome. Ponysanity is embraced once again.
Friendships are reforged, creativity, reignited, life, reborn.
The thread is renewed, and thus, so are we.Last edited by EsperDerek; 2011-09-19 at 08:09 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
And then somepony coughs. Next thing you know half the thread is shipped, the orbital friendship cannons are blazing trenches of love and joy across the land, no less than three Eldritch Abominations are having a tea party with logic instead of tea leaves, and the best response anypony can manage is, "Huh, Tuesday already?"
I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
I just did some maths. If this thread continues at the current rate we're going, we'll hit page 51 within Twenty-Four Hours.
I know It'll probably slow down, but damn...

Re: My Little Pony XXIV: Now About 200% Longer Than Firefly
Rainbow Dash and anybody is always success. Anybody at all. (Also, nothing says you can't support contradictory ships; two of my favorites are RDxAJ and RDxFlutter.
"In the darkness, somepony coughed." (Maybe a teensy bit dark...)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.
