My Little Pony XXI: A Very Minty Thread
Trixie's Great and Powerful Guide v1.94m
Minty & Pinkie 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 XXI: A Very Minty Thread
Just re-watched The Best Night Ever.
And Now, I am reminded that I still owe Blue blood the worst beating of rainbow dashes life (I'd say of Blue Bloods life, but honestly he's NEVER so much as been slapped, and Rainbowdash is arguably THE rough and Tumble Pony.)
And that Fluttershy is a Striking Scary Goddess of Breserkers.
P.S., has anyone ever noticed that when she tries to save the statue, Rainbow Dash ends up reenacting a scene form the Disney version of Hercules?
Or that When Twilight is greeting guests, the one who shakes her Hoof and the rest of he with it has the constellation Hercules as his Cutie Mark?
Hmmm, suddenly, I have a minor Background character who, in so far as I know, doesn't even have a name, to ship with Twilight. Ponythread, GO!"I Burn!"

Re: My Little Pony XXI: A Very Minty Thread
Alright, so, that thing I was going to post in the last thread, but was afraid it'd get ignored when switching threads. I intend to do a little research for a fic idea I got, and so I post a question to you all:
What do you think makes the ships between Rainbow Dash and the rest of the Mane Cast work, individually?
By which I mean, why would Twilight Sparkle be attracted to Rainbow Dash, why would Pinkie Pie be attracted to RD, why would Rarity be attracted to RD, and so on. Stuff like, "Applejack would be attracted to Rainbow because she's a challenge, stubborn enough to hold her ground against her," and, "Fluttershy would be attracted to Rainbow Dash because she provides stability and courage that she wouldn't have otherwise." And the more reasons I can get, the better, so don't be afraid of answering for somebody who's already been covered, even if it's completely contradictory!
If anybody wants to know the concept of the fic (it's not imperative to answering the question, though if I do end up writing it, the concept could help you help me think of a title ), it's spoilered at the bottom of the post.
Also, quoting my fic recommendations so THEY don't get lost in the movement to the new thread.
SpoilerFic concept, do not peek if you want to be surprised if/when I write it:
SpoilerBasically, the Mane Cast decide to get revenge on Rainbow Dash for the various pranks she's pulled on them, and all decide to "admit their feelings for her" on the same day. The above question is so I can believably have them fake interest in her.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 XXI: A Very Minty Thread
Ok, so its not a great job, but I did ponify Hellfire to go along with Trixie's Gaston and Prince Ali:
Princess Celestia
You know Trixie is a great showmare
Of Trixie’s magic she is justly proud
Princess Celestia
You know Trixie’s so much better than
The common, boring, weak, moronic mare.
Then tell me Celestia
Why Trixie sees her standing there
Why her glowing horn still burns her soul
She feels her, She sees her
The moonlight in her purple hair
Is blazing in her all out of control
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in Trixie’s skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning her to shame
It’s not Trixie’s fault
She’s not to blame
It is that unicorn
It ‘s she who sent this shame
It’s not Trixie’s fault
If in Celestia’s plans
She trained a unicorn much
Stronger than Trixie
Protect me, Celestia
Don’t let this siren cast her spell
Don’t let her fire sear Trixie’s flesh and bone
Destroy Twilight Sparkle
And let her taste her own demise
Or let her be for Trixie and her alone
Hellfire
Darkfire
Now unicorn it’s your turn
Choose Trixie or
Your pyre
Be Trixie’s or you will burn
Celestia have mercy on her
Celestia have mercy on Trixie
But she will be Trixie’s
Or she will burn
She is either planning on killing Twilight, or instantly making out with her. Sounds about right based on the fanfics I've read.
Still, I think this is rough around the edges at best, so if anyone has better ideas, feel free to speak up.

Re: My Little Pony XXI: A Very Minty Thread
Rainbow Dash is blank card. All we know she is competitive and likes Wonderbolts. You can paint virtually anything you want into her, which is how you can make virtually any pairing with her work. I'm not sure if this is helpful with 6 pairings, as you'd need to add too much to her, so just use things she has in common with the rest of the cast? AJ, FS, and PP work almost without adjustments, Rarity can claim she loved her posing as model, and Twilight... It's the only one that requires a bit of work, but certainly doable

Re: My Little Pony XXI: A Very Minty Thread
For Twilight: Simply have her play it at Dash as an opposites attract angle. Twilights smart and not particularly outgoing, Dash is Brash, Athletic, and in your face.
For Rarity: have her play it as Blue Blood left such a god awful taste in her mouth that she doesn't even want a technical prince anymore. No, she want's a Pony who was born to no special status, but has preformed such feats as legends are made of (Sonic Rainboom comes to mind.) and has the body of the hero's of Old. *Cought, Dash is Uber Athlete and pulled off Greek Goddess look at Gala, Cought.*
As already Stated, AJ, FS, and PP pretty much write themselves via the shows canon."I Burn!"

Re: My Little Pony XXI: A Very Minty Thread
Rarity does a Tyler Durden impression near the end.
No, we already named him. He's Blues Mayne, billionaire playcolt by day, crime fighting vigilante by night. Of course, there's almost no crime in Equestria, so he spends most of his time in setting one.Last edited by Kindablue; 2011-08-25 at 07:07 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XXI: A Very Minty Thread
One True Pairing. It's not really a Pony-exclusive term, so feel free to throw it around everywhere!
Anyway, thanks for the insights, Trixie and Meta. If anybody else wants to add, I'll still be listening.
More stuff about that fic I may or may not write follows, for those who still don't want spoilers.
SpoilerWell, the thing about this story is that it doesn't need to be flawless and convince the audience, it just needs to be good enough to
convince Rainbow Dash.Last edited by The Dark Fiddler; 2011-08-25 at 07:31 PM.
