Perhaps Ponyville is bigger than we give it credit for. It could very well be the "Earth Pony Capital" of Equestria, much like Pegasi have Cloudsdale and Unicorns have Canterlot.

Maybe they live in another Ponyville-like town, and she moved so she wouldn't have to compete with her parents for business.

Now I have this image of a rival "Shelbyville" like town that Ponyville is constantly dueling with

They compete over everything.

That'd be a good episode. Kind of like "Fall Weather Friends", except the Mane 6 compete against their mirror versions, and must unite to stop some bigger problem.

Oh yeah, I saw that, the artist for one of the Vinyl Scratch tumblrs did it. I love the art.

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

It'd be like a mix between "Fall Weather Friends" and "Over A Barrel"

Regarding on other families being shown. I haven't given thought of it on all of them, but I have on some. I'd imagined Fluttershy's mom being similar to Fluttershy, although she isn't as nervous as fluttershy. Only a little but not a whole lot. Her father could be a bit of Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Some strange Unfortunate Implications could arise if the farther was a massive prick and the mother was a weak willed nervous wreck though

It would be awkward to show Pinkie's real parents, regardless of what they're like, because Mr & Mrs Cake already consider her a daughter, even though they're aware that she isn't really their child. What would a meeting between them and Pinkie's true folks be like?

Presumably, Sweetie Belle is living with her parents. Rarity has her own shop so she lives independently.

I think a bigger question is where AJ's parents are, since they weren't even mentioned in the big family reunion in the pilot.

It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

Could they aleady be at the big apple orchard in the sky?

They are and her grandma isn't? But then again, we don't have a character with a tragic background yet, or any aesop relating to that. I can't think of any sort of accident in the ponyverse that would kill them, because of the lack of cars.

I thought AJ's parents might be dead, but there's no way that could possibly be cannon in an idealistic show like this.

Ooh yeah, and to set that up, they could pick 6 older-generation ponies who haven't already been updated for Friendship is Magic!

#25693 Whatshisgame Thu, 6th Oct '11 8:28:29 PM

Who would the rival group's dragon be? A younger version of Whimsey Weatherbe?

#25694 Bagof Magic Food Thu, 6th Oct '11 8:35:18 PM

...Sure!

Also, at some point they should do a parody of "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", just because.

#25695 Irish Zombie Thu, 6th Oct '11 9:12:59 PM from Texas from Texas

Something just occurred to me. After becoming a fan six months ago, these ponies have introduced me to many other things I had never really paid attention to. Just off the top of my head, this fandom has caused me to play/watch/read/listen to:

Doctor Who
Assassin's Creed
Fallout
Weird Al
The Dover Boys
Phineas and Ferb
That first 80's special with the centaur-thing
Elder Scrolls
They're well on their way to convincing me to pick up Rhythm Heaven
And, of all things, I've started writing. Before this show, I've never written a story in my life!

And there's likely more I haven't thought of. So, has anyone here been introduced to new things via this show and its fandom?

Well, to be perfectly honest I can't say it's reeeaally convinced me to watch anything - not reading any crossover pieces, myself. And interestingly, while it's not the first time I've tried to write something(though it's the first fasnfiction I've written) it did bring me the ability to actually finish writing something. Which, seriously, had never happened before. I would get 5 or so pages in and get bored.

#25698 Bagof Magic Food Thu, 6th Oct '11 9:48:50 PM

It's funny, "That first 80's special with the centaur-thing" was the only thing from My Little Pony I had already watched before Friendship is Magic, but once the latest season ended, I felt driven to start watching all the episodes after that instead of just reading about them. I think it was from reading some other MLP thread that pointed out the G1 series' bizarre antagonists made it pretty fun on occasion.

#25699 Waxing Name Thu, 6th Oct '11 9:59:13 PM

I'm considering joining your ranks, bronies. This show sounds quite interesting after looking this show through on this site.

But what I really love is all these PMVs that I love to search for, especially:

This (since I'm a Nigahiga fan)
This (since I love City Escape)
And this (since I love Monty Python and the Holy Grail)

I'm a self-certified Devil's advocate

Well, you're certainly welcome. And yes, people have linked everything to ponies.
