My Little Pony XV: The Greater and Powerful-er Thread
Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.94b
Top 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 XV: The Greater and Powerful-er Thread
Corrected to remove redundancy
I'm sorry, mate. But this? This right here? Hilarious.
Good luck on your custom pony timeframe.
... Well, it is now, but nope.
I wanna give a couple more folks a shot before I give it away. It occurs to me that it's the perfect combination of specific, obscure, and absurd to be nigh unguessable (though Braz posits that the Commodore has a decent shot).

COURT-'SHIP OF LUNA
Spoiler
SpoilerSiuiS continues to struggle feebly in Lyra's arms, amounting to what feels like a piñata swaying in a draft.
need ... Cure ... Please ?
Swinging from the mysterious, ceiling-less chandelier,NinjaWizardZorro Log bears witness to what would be a horrifying scene, were he a pony.
The Neo Nemo, bereft of anchor, collapses into the vortex completely, leaving only ripples across the now-smooth, spherical black surface. Legions of tiny skeletal ponies, their eye sockets and the occasional joint flaring with lurid grey-green flames, dance and cavort before diving en masse into the heart ofthe vortex, dragging shreds of voidstuff with them.
***
Intrigued,NinjaWizardZorro Log attaches a moustache of fine, oiled black hair beneath his mask.
***
Absorbing the detritus nearby, and strangely pulling on the gaping tears in reality, the Vortex seethes and pulses, like a frog egg about to split and birth it's hideous progeny. Ripples,cracks, crevasses! With a sound like the air being removed from lungs by vacuum tinged with the smell of day old water balloons, the vortex - now something else - cracks.
Wispy strands of viscous pink-magenta burst out in columns and begin to wave, like giant cotton-candy pine trees. The flotsam, now some horrid bone covered abomination, pulls itself from the core, on curly pink tentacles. Burning ship wheels for eyes, teeth of jagged cupcakes and shrapnel, and flesh of board and bone, all blackened form the flames of a thousand thousand lit birthday candles strength across the surface give horrid, terrifying definition to the mocking visage as it slithers along non-space, crying out in three simultaneous voices;
WANNA PARTY?
WANNA PARTY?
WANNA PARTY?
***
NinjaWizardZorro Log strokes his moustache. Intriguing indeed. Such a beast can only be handles in the proper fashion!
With a flick and a twist,*NinjaWizardZorroPirate Log dives towards the ... Well, whatever it is, bandana flapping in the air current, curved knife embedded into the wood just below the etched moustache of a stylized goatee, eyepath reflecting everything and nothing at once.
oh yeah, the*NinjaWizardZorroPirate Log would say if he had a mouth, this is gon' be legendary.
In the now-pink musicians arms, SiuiS becomes, somehow,even more rigid.
SWEET ... SISTERS ... ... the ... PINKRAKEN.
((still unsure of whether I should have gone with this or the flying DERPman...))

Re: My Little Pony XV: The Greater and Powerful-er Thread
Spoiler
I'm not gonna lie here, I am kind of lost on what is going on here. I'm guessing that every bit of this is part of the hallucination though. Question: are you going through the entire battle as if we were sticks rather than ponies, and replacing the Kommodore with the Pink One? I mean, Wizard Stick = you, Pink One = you, Pirate One = Amish or MCerebus, Ninja = voidships and Scion.
Also, it was Marble Cake that the Kommodore missed out on.
EDIT: is Zorro Log Ponyard?

Re: My Little Pony XV: The Greater and Powerful-er Thread
So I've been thinking about MLP in terms of another interest of mine: MBTI!
(Word of note: I'm almost entirely following intelligence typology here, as laid out by Keirsey. This is all just for fun and I doubt the creators really wrote the characters this way intentionally.)
Rainbow Dash: textbook ESTP. Craves action and attention; hedonistic; generally optimistic and impulsive; self-image in large part revolves around being artistic, audacious (remember what happened when she lost confidence in that?); enjoys practical jokes, values being excited, seeks stimulation, and aspires to be an (aerial) virtuoso. I say T rather than F because of her bluntness and competitive athleticism.
Fluttershy: INFP. Introversion and Feeling go without saying. CMFIS set in when her usual empathy and benevolence were thwarted (points to NF). Seems like a fluffy pushover then catches others off guard with how fierce she can be in a pinch. (Sidenote: Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are obvious foils; ESTP and INFP are pretty much each other's opposites -- outgoing directive concrete utilitarian versus reserved informative abstract cooperative.)
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm...Introverted (duh), definitely NT (literally lives in a library, asociality in favor of learning and honing her skills (and even after developing a circle of friends, continues to spend more of her time doing these things than socializing), came in fifth in a race despite never having raced before by reading up on race strategy in a book (see also: sleepover), trusts reason above all else. The question on my mind is, INTJ or INTP? On the one hand she lacks the kind of quiet intensity female INTJs usually give off, but her contribution at the end of Winter Wrap Up is a textbook case of the INTJ "Entailing" serial-order planning. Tough call here. (Sidenote: NTs typically aspire to be "wizards." I'm just saying.)
Rarity: Probably ESFJ. Most polished and elegant, classic "ladylike" sort, concerned with what's "proper"...hmm. Hard to work with this one. Definitely S, though; N's tend not to be so image-conscious, and she doesn't have the various SP traits (see Rainbow Dash above) aside from a personal focus on artistry, so I'd say SJ.
Applejack: Definitely SJ. Big on home, family, commerce, and hard work; heck, just look at why she wanted to go to the Gala. I'd put her down as more I than E (doesn't really go out of her way to surround herself with other ponies) and more T than F (sort of macho in her own way; T women tend not to go in for girly things as much). So that'd be ISTJ.
Pinkie Pie: ESFP. Similar to Rainbow Dash's profile above: craves action and attention; hedonistic; generally optimistic and impulsive; enjoys practical jokes, values being excited, seeks stimulation; but manages to be even more unpredictable, and more intent on pleasing everypony. And here's a quote: "ESFPs are happiest when their home is filled with people all having a good time, led by the ESFP who weaves his or her way through the party, welcoming, teasing, laughing."A potent relic of the past. 'Tis said the wearer commands the wisdom of kings, and can see the unseeable.

Re: My Little Pony XV: The Greater and Powerful-er Thread
I had shown up a little sooner. But when I opened the last thread two hours ago I jumped to page 31 and thought "nice, only 10 pages to catch up". Then I saw the thread was on page 50 and while I read the first few posts the new thread was opened.
This was a little exhausting.
Look at my face and repeat that
See it from Spike's point of few: it's just a short flirt. Their relationship won't take much longer than one of his naps as an adult. Which is very sad.
But probably worth it. See that picture of adult Spike and old Rarity.
And since I'm no SiuiS (seriously, I'm always impressed by your megaquote posts), there are only this few quotes. But to sum up what I read:

Re: My Little Pony XV: The Greater and Powerful-er Thread
This thread's speed continues to boggle my mind. I doubt the poor thing has been un-boggled for months now, but that's just a minor technicality.
I was thinking of not participating in this week's NWTG (Newbie Writer's Training Ground), but then I got an idea. Now I think I have to write it:
SpoilerThe theme for this week is "Pony visits Canterlot for the first time".
Lyra has been invited to audition her Lyre-playing skills for Celestia herself. And (through mail-interception spying techniques) she has learned that the lovely Twilight will be returning to Canterlot for the same few days she'll be there. The possibilities are endless...
...or they would be, if that infernal Celestia didn't keep pulling her Twilight away for such trifling matters as "hanging out" or "talking". One day into her trip, and she hasn't had a moment's time alone with Twilight. With only a few days in Canterlot, she needs to act fast if her trip is to be salvaged. The solution is obvious: If there is something or somepony coming between her and Twilight, remove it.
And thus begins a crazy-fueled spree of comical traps and schemes designed to take Celestia out of the picture. The climax? Lyra performing her audition with a lyre enchanted to set off booby traps when she plucks the strings just so. No idea how this will all end, but the journey there should be hilarious.I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.
