What can I say, I have a particularly strange mind.

Hey, every word in that document is *true*.

Except for the stuff we made up.

So you're still on board with Silver Spoon s'mores correct?

[Grif]

So...

I have been writing this based on Aotrs Commander's idea of having Trixie as a bumbling hero. It kinda... morphed into a story of its own now though.

Have a gander.

(I have spent many hours raeg while I tried to get past writer's block the past few days.)

Ok, as much as I enjoyed reading this, it might actually be true where Pinkie Pie is concerned.

Well, she would be if she would just-

Also, I propose a taste test! We must find out the unique flavor of each pony. For Science!

Equestrian Pony Physiology:
A Primer For Humans

I was contemplating this on the path to school and all I could think about was the ramifications on pony kisses.

Speaking of fanfiction, I have finished writing a new chapter of Blue Moon in a Red Sky. I have the whole fic organized here.
As always, reviews and critiques are welcome.

Ok so i know this has been more then likely discussed, but due to the catatonic thread slow down, we need a new in depth topic. So therefore i ask three questions.

1. What events would you like to see in season 2?

2. if you could place ANY OC pony into the show who would it be, and how would you make their appearance work while staying under the shows parameters?

3. What background pony should become a regular part of the show? (luna and derpy aside because we know they get more screen time now) What should they do? what connection to the mane cast should they have?

=====
My answers?

1. I want to see the ponies at play in the winter and fall. Maybe like a summer shutdown/ winter welcome? and Luna's winter solstice.

2. Id love to see Midnight in the show honestly. but i have NO IDEA how to make her work without some thing scaring little kids. And not to toot my own horn but id love to see a Ponyard type character. And adventuring pony who never really gave his cutie mark any thought. while he loved adventure, he never thought his true talent would be sharing the stories of his adventures.

3. Id love to see more Zecora and Trixie even if they just remain minor characters. and id like to see more winged ponies. we dont have much contact with any in ponyville aside from rainbow dash.

[Kyouhen]

Well, she would be if she would just-
-stop eating herself!


Also, I propose a taste test! We must find out the unique flavor of each pony. For Science!

Well how else do you think she avoids putting on weight?

Also, flavours:
Applejack: Apple
Rainbow Dash: Fruit punch/All the Skittles at once
Pinkie Pie: Bubblegum
Fluttershy: Banana? Something mellow...
Rarity: Marshmallow
Twilight: For some reason I see Twilight being black licorice or something similar...

That is nearly the best party ever. If they answered with any of the ponies from the show they would be the best ever.

To be honest, this is the speed I like it to move at. A quick enough pace, without going 'Oh god, I haven't checked in an hour and a half, I'm *doomed* to having to catch up to 40+ posts!'

3. Id love to see more Zecora and Trixie even if they just remain minor characters. and id like to see more winged ponies. we dont have much contact with any in ponyville aside from rainbow dash.

If Trixie does come back I'd like her to be completely unchanged. She was a good magician, had a memorable stage presence, and she handled hecklers in a way that put the audience on her side. It wasn't her fault everypony in that town was crazy and took her act at face value.

This thread can easily move 7 pages in only a few hours, so 7 pages in about a day is fairly slow.

Well we have only way to Scientastically test Midnight/Trixie's theories:

Get Silver Spoons(nopony likes her anyway)
some graham crackers
and heat to act as a catalyst. I suggest a camp fire.

Eh, roasting pudding sounds like it'd be kind of gross... Make ambrosia salad instead?

That is just so rediculous... yet would explain so much... and darnit, Derek, stop inspiring me to draw stuff. -(Whap)-

1: Winter Solstice Festival where it's Luna raising the moon on the longest night of the year, Twilight getting her report card.

2: Do alternate character interpretations count? Cause I'd like to see stalkerLyra and socksLuna.

3: Honestly, more Braeburn/Big Mac, with a trip to Zecora's homeland and Trixie's return. Honestly, I'd love to see a background pony adventure, set during another episode.

1.) I want Rainbow Dash to get a good freaking song! A pony rock ballad would be SO AWESOME!

2.) It's not an OC, but I want more Vinyl Scratch. I love me some Vinyl Scratch. I don't care if she had zero lines and less than 10 seconds of screen time; a pony DJ is, by definition, awesome.

1. What events would you like to see in season 2?

Personally, I'd love to see an out-and-out Luna-centered episode to give us an idea of what she's been doing since the pilot.

Also this.

…please don’t interrupt, Igor. Now as I was saying, due to difficulties encountered with the first test subject, I have had to amend the flavor determination method. Chemical analysis will be used on future test subjects. Speaking of which, DERPY, bring test subject two onscreen.
Test subject two seems to have escaped from its containment cell. Please standby.
What? Impossible! Those containment cells can contain any sub-alicorn entity, and test subject two was only an earth pony! How could it have escaped?!
Test subject two located. Oh muffins, she and that little idiot PINKIE have somehow gotten into my control center.

HI! What’s your name?
I’m PINKIE!

2) Excelsior would be great for an episode about how anypony can be useful, and how even things like singing and telling stories can be helpful.

3) I'd like more male characters to get some time. Big Macintosh, obviously. Caramel and Soarin would also be cool. Among fillies, I want more of the panicky flower ponies.
