My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.5
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, 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.

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
My stars, I'm off to work and unable to reach a computer for three days, and I miss out on an entire thread. Good work, people, we'll assimilate this entire forum yet!

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
Sigh....
The opening post should preferably have a nice picture.
Then mention that the show is on Hub network.
Maybe a quick summary of the show.

Nice picture? How about this one?

The explanation of Pony evolution from above:
Dammit, I had similar 'tribute' idea... And to be honest, I think original designs were too pink.
By the way, guess who drew guess who!

That was for a friend of mine. And I've got two more lined up (one for a friend who goes by the name Lowmaine and another for an orc).
I'm probably gonna do one more with her pony. For some reason I want to have 'Murder Hooves' unconscious with Mido-Pony gleefully standing over him next to a broken totem.Hall of Honor:

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
I was thinking about getting a ponytar, if anypony would like the challenge of doing a slightly complex one.
The stuff you'd need to know:
Spoiler
Life-in-Death from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Female pony, dark blue or red body. Half-skeletal face. Black mane and tail, modeled after Rarity's. Golden lemniscate (infinity symbol) for a cutie mark.
Give her a pair of dice and she is set.

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
I'm still surprised we're already on a new thread. It turned out to be two days, rather than the 3-4 I predicted on page 42 of the last one.
The bronies...the herd is multiplying! First the Playground, then THE WORLD!Fair warning: I edit my posts fairly continuously, sometimes adding substantial amounts in the period immediately after I post originally. I blame grad school instilling a constant need to revise.

OK. I am miffed. Very miffed. Why was the title not the one that was touted all through the previous thread. I have only one response to this grievous betrayal of friendship. I am just so, ANGRY!

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
These are the current untaken ponytar requests. I can't do any for the next day or so, but if no other pony has taken up the tasks, I'll do some when I get the chance.... or until I lose interest... although pony is sort of like addiction to me atm.
just for clarification sake, SaintRidley, you want a sort of mask-like skeletal half face or a peel away exposed skeletal half face?"Winning with friendship means winning at life!"

@thread title: Oh, well. At the rate you guys (I say you because I've posted, what, twice?) are going through these threads, we'll be on #4 in a week or two. Three, tops.

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
Silly filly, everyone knows that Trixie is advanced technology
No no no, the previous one was 20% cooler. This one is, like, 2.000.000% cooler
Um... Because I posted it in a thread previous to previous ones? And I had to act quickly due to locking of the #2?
Pfft, just don't call me begging when you have another Ursa Major to vanquish :E
Anyway, that just gives you incentive to post faster so that name is used, no?

Re: My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread
Not sure how I feel about the first picture being Trixie. It is the great and powerful Trixie, but she's only appeared in one episode and isn't one of the more recognizable characters.
