I always imagined at some point Discord was bored by their petty racial discrimination so he started swapping their races around until everypony forgot what race they originally were.

@Orion: I can just imagine a bunch of best friends horrified when they dig historical records and found out their ancestors were on the opposite sides of a dark, dark race dispute.

@ JT: If she encourages it then yes she'd be at fault but all the plot idea said was that Rainbow does something, then Scootaloo tries to do it and Rainbow is at fault for it.

@Bad There's a difference between being at fault and not being responsible. She may not have been at fault, but she could have prevented it.

#264129 Badwolfwho Fri, 3rd Aug '12 1:32:59 PM from Stardust Road

That doesn't mean she's responsible. She could have stopped Spike from going on the Dragon Migration, is she responsible for all the pain he suffered there?

Ooh so sort of a Tower of Babel type mythology but instead of the languages getting scrambled the tribes got scrambled and they learned to coexist rather than be separated?

@Bad Spike didn't exactly suffer that much there, and the moment he was in danger she was there to protect him. Not exactly the best example.

@Badwolf: When I posted the initial idea, it was that "RD does something to impress Scootaloo, who then imitates it". The idea being that she does something with the specific intent of making Scootaloo think she's cool. She already knows that Scoots idolizes her, so it isn't a big leap for her to think that if she does something awesome, Scootaloo might make an attempt.

@Turtle: exactly, a Reverse Babel. It just makes some kind of consistent sense.

Dashie learning some kind of responsibility from taking care of Scoots would be cute :3

@Bad: Normally I'd agree, but in Rainbow's case, she actively encourages fillies to idolize her while bragging about her dangerous stunts. Rainbow is responsible enough for her daily life, but she doesn't seem to have have any responsibility for how her actions influence others.

In other words, she wants to be a role model, but she doesn't seem to comprehend the full extent of what that entails.

@ Lurker: Except when he jumped in the lava, wrestled the big dragon being thrown into a mountain in the process.

@ JT: I still wouldn't say she's at fault. If she says something like "Hey you should try this out your totally ready" to Scootaloo then I'd say she's at fault.

Scoot's parents go out of town and Rainbow gets to babysit while she's gone? That could be a good scenario.

Or maybe Scoots runs away from home and decides she's going to live with RD

Ooh, I like that last one. RD is totally cool with it, and then she realizes that she can't just try to be awesome to Scoots all the time and has to put her hoof down.

I would not be surprised at all if Scoot's parents are an Earth Pony and Unicorn and she doesn't have parental guidance on learning how to fly yet.

Oh come on, I just theorized like 2 pages ago that her parents might be non-pegasi.

We're thinking the same thing then

Our time on this thread has raised our synchro rate

BTW your artwork is actually pretty good, JT.

Dashie may have to learn that teaching somepony to fly is a very important matter and should be approached carefully.

And now we're in the realm of personal fic-canon clashing with regular old headcanon. I keep thinking "wait, that's not right, " only to remember that I'm dealing in two separate continuities here.

Now I know how Kegi feels with Blueblood.

Yea Ive thought that about scoots too. That maybe her parents werent able to fly at all because of their tribe and she just has no guidance at all.

There's a Trixie fic, I believe it was titled something like A Great and Powerful Heart, where she rescues Dinky and a Unicorn colt born to an Earth Pony mare living in a fringe town with extremist leanings.

@Lurker: I've learnt to deal with multiple continuities because of all the alternate universes involved in some other fandoms, lol.

Anyways, Scoots having mixed-race parentage makes for amazing fanfic fuel.

Well, I had a look at the Picture Perfect Pony video. That ask the CMC guy sure is talented. Got the show's style nailed.

Also, today the Pony Fiction Vault featured my story ''This Nearly Was Mine.''

Now in ebook format, apparently.

Fanfiction I hate.

#264148 Sereg Fri, 3rd Aug '12 2:01:13 PM from South Africa

Let's see. In the Lunaverse, Scootaloo's dad is an earth pony, but her mom is a pegasus night guard.

In the verse being built around Nuptuals, the reason that she can't fly is that her father is...a bit...different.

Fimfiction converts ponyfics so you can grab them as epub ebooks.

I've also seen a fic where Scoots is Celestia's daughter. Seriously.

Hmm.. An episode where Dashie would actually have to be a role model for Scoots rather than an idol, would be pretty cool. I definitely welcome any characterization of those characters. Lord also knows that Dashie needs to realize she has to be serious sometimes. Though in some ways I could see it as a bit of a rehash of the lessons Pinkie learned in the episode with the Cake siblings.
