Ponythread LV:55 Ponythread learns Agility!

[Anarion]

Aaaaaaaah! That's some good quote-post. 'Bout time!

My thoughts, exactly.

"Maddeningly fast?" Ha! Oh, you! When we get back to "five pages overnight" and "one thread per week", we can talk about "maddeningly fast...!"

Season 3 only a week away. Buckle your seat-belt.

hello pony peoples
after surviving sandy and being out of power for a week, i need updates.
thread news, general pony news, all of it!

Hi, glad you're safe and hopefully dry. Welcome back, we're discussing the finer points of using spoiler boxes.

That's because eps 3.3 synopsis was released much earlier, around the same time we got info on eps 3.1 and 3.2

S3 eps 3 spoilers

It involves Pinkie and clones.

Cue chaos, cue Pinkruto jokes.

edit: ninja'd.... Pinkie'd... Pinkie-ninja'd

Pinkruto from the Village of Hidden Friendships. Guided by Celestia the First Wa-kage (和影 Harmony-shadow)


Shadow Cloning Double edit: wait... in this scenario is Twilight Sasuke or Rainbow Dash? Twisuke? Dashuke?

Mass Pinkie Clone Harmony no edit Justu: Think it's best to go with Dashuke, Sakutwi, Hinashy, Apple Lee and Rarino

I'd put Twilight as Sasuke. She's the one that is most often directly opposed to Pinkie and their dynamic seems like it could be amazing together (as with the detective story). Also, Twilight in Sakura's role feels distasteful to me for some reason.

Your others are good though, and I don't want Dashie as Sakura either, so maybe Sakura is a background pony (Bon-Bon perhaps?) and Dashie can be Itachi, and she and Twilight can have awkward moments.

Yes.

Just...

Yes.

Also... Spike Guy? Spikashi-sensei? He's gotta be in their somewhere... (I'd have said Kashestia, but she's already above that level, Luna doesn't seem to fit all that well...?)

Double-also, I can totally see Angeji (Aneji? Angei?).

Dammit, you should know by now what a bad thing it is to give me Ideas! Do you not remember that time we ended up with Northern Spy's own personal theme song rendered in Sea Pony!?



Edit: Or, if we follow Anarion's ideas above, Sparskue and Spikura, with KaDashi-sensei.

Sorted.

*facepalm*

This... is going to get ridiculous, isn't it?

...

The more I think about that, the more I like it! Nevermind the puns, that actually fits really well!

[Siosilvar]

...I like how you can look at SiuiS's post and see everything that's happened for the last 20 pages Ponythread.

SiuiS, you be awesome.

That's not the last 20 pages of this thread.

That's the middle 15 of last thread.

[DigoDragon]

In what I think should be Ponythread tradition all of your ships should be named Thanqol until they get at least one kill.

LOL, funny enough as since it's the Great & Powerful Trixie's empire, I was going to name all the starships Trixie until I got names/kills in.

Season 3 only a week away. Buckle your seat-belt.

Yeah, I guess the thread reaching relativistic speeds is my least welcomed thing come Saturday. I dunno how some of you all stay connected all day. Mad skills, dude.

Don't forget to also give us your war story on surviving the storm. All the interesting parts, the torrential downpour, survivng the cut flow of electrons, the Changling invasion!

Oh!

Eww. Dash, Twilight and Rarity deserve better.

You may be misunderstanding the theory behind all of Anarions rookies being named Thanqol. It was because that way, many Thanqols would be murdered almost every mission (by the aliens, mostly). So unless new ships have a horrendous tendancy to explode horribly, it doesn't really fit with Ponythread tradion (of solving problems by killing Thanqol/s)

If there's a hilariously fragile type of fighter perhaps? I could totally see a valiant, red-shirted squadron of Thanqols in leather bomber-jackets and goggles.

[Kairaven]

It's never a good fit, for example Twilight is best as Shikamaru (Twilightmaru)
with Spike and his wild growth be Choji (Spikji)

and although Ino only has a bit part, I think she fits Rarity best.

I guess this makes AJ Sakura (Applekura)

and if we go with Anjil then that sort of makes Team Guy a pet team...
Gummy Lee (not a good fit)
WinWIn
Philomeno Guy


Also... Cadenade and Shinraiya plus Chrysalimaru

I admit that Cadence, Shining, Chrysalis do form a sort of trio that works for the three legendary ninja (random aside, I read "Cadenade" as pronouncing the last syllable like the word "aid" at first, which really confused me). However, I must say, the thought of Tsunade and Jiraiya being married is somewhat disturbing. *shudder*

Well, Shining could always be Dan... XD
which leaves.... Blueraiya.

Hmm. I agree that Pinkie makes the best Naruto, and Twilight the best Sasuke. I kind of want to put either Fluttershy or Rarity as Sakura, though: quiet until you get her mad.

Oh nuts, this was spoilerish, wasn't it? Fine, have a spoiler box.

Okay, let's run with this. I think the sun/moon/stars background is interestingly similar. This would seem to suggest that Twilight is not being groomed to replace Celestia/Luna, but rather to supplement them. This could be a necessity for stabilizing the current world, but I'd like to propose a more wild theory (since you like those):

The number of alicorns is directly linked to the overall size and control that ponies have over the cosmos in the pony world. If Twilight ascends to alicorn-hood.

What this would mean is that if Twilight did ascend to have domain over the stars or the dusk or dawn or some such, that would actually expand the pony world. It might give access to new stars that could be reached by portals or teleportation, or perhaps it would lead new pony cities and towns to simply spring into being in the current world. Or even push back the borders of the kingdom and allow pony magic and weather control to extend into the current Everfree or other territories.

Maybe it will be the time of darkness when Twilight will force to become Alicorn to save Equestria. Or, Applejack and Rarity went bankrupt from failed Moon Colonization, which will probably be in season 3.


So, Possible child of Cadance and Shining Armor anyone?

[t209]

Well, there is still headcanons of mine that needs to be resolved.
- Is Fluttershy Half-Earth Pony or have Earth pony ancestor, which would give her power to talk with animals?
- Is Rarity the only pony with mixed parents (Unicorn- Earth Pony), other than my headcanon Fluttershy? This is the reason why i liked rarity, other than her pony template).
- Did the three tribes leaders wedded in Interracial Marriage (Earth Pony- Unicorn, Unicorn- Pegasus, Pegasus- Earth Pony), like Great Susa Wedding of Alexander the Great and his generals?

-Are Celestia and Luna used to be test subjects for Discord's Alicorn Experiment?

[Tiki Snakes]

For Fluttershy to have an Earth Pony parent would also mean she probably was raised by a single parent. Because the implication is that, pre-sonic-rainboom, she'd never really visited the ground/been outside of Cloudsdale.

Which is to say, slightly less likely than having canon confirmation of Orphanjack.

[Kairaven]

on other subjects, I am dissapointed by the lack of EQLA coverage. I suppose everypony is con'd out though.

Although I did see a gif of Michelle Creber dancing the Gunam style horse step.

I also forgot another head canon,
Scootaloo could be a product of earth pony- pegasus pairings, born in Ponyville. I wonder why we didn't see Rainbowdash and Fluttershy parents though, maybe they were separated from their parents at age of eight like spartans.
P.S- In Spartan definition, Rainbowdash would be Homoioi while Fluttershy would be Perioikoi.

Somehow the synopsis for this one sounds a little off to me Obviously status quo will be preserved in the end, though, so it's probably fairly predictable stuff. Cool nonetheless. Can't wait for that one.

Pony episode synopses are always the initial premise, not the ending. So that one is only telling us the first half of the episode. Although I'd love to be wrong and see the status quo shaken up that much.

True. Not sure about that much shaking up, though.

What I wonder is where Zap2It (and other sources) get the synopsi. Do they get them from Hasbro, the show writers, or do they have their own writers who slap something together based on a preview maybe?

I'm okay with status quo, so long as they don't just justify it by saying that Twilight had the flu.

Wait, do we know about episode six yet? Because this sounds like a potential two-parter.

I'm sure Trixie uses some kind of trick she's been planning for all this time.

I do wonder if we'll learn what her "secret" was, the one that the Foal Free Press revealed. If there was a secret, of course. Maybe it's even related

We only know that E6 is titled "Sleepless in Ponyville", which doesn't tell us much, unless it's an actual parody.

My gut instinct is to say that it's fake. That synopsis reads really weird, like it's almost too direct. I can see that being nearly half the episode given away right there. But with only an unverified line from a website to go off of, not much else I can say.

If it's real...hooooo boy will this be an episode and a half, one way or another.
