I like the way you think.

Wet Manes are still popular

Twi's scared of Giant Sea Isopod? But the guy's adorable!

I'm keen to see a fourth-wall-breaking fic about The Mane Six watching the first two seasons themselves.

That would probably work better as a very meta episode.

How can you not be advanced enough to have skies?

The dinosaurs aren't dead. If I know cartoons, (and I do) then they're all living together on a desserted tropical island somewhere, waiting for hapless adventurers.

Snowcatcher loves to play outdoors◊, so maybe she knows how to ski?

No Dinosaurs live in an underground forest. All cartoons I've seen agree with that.

Thread Hop

What's going on?

The status of dinosaurs in FIM

@Badwolf: And one or two movies. I think I like Ace's idea the best.

Dinosaurs would be awesome.

Dinosaurs live in zoos where they feed on idiot scientists who are literally Too Dumb to Live. Meanwhile they serve as target practice for the helicopters.

Hmmm. Maybe as a future callback episode, Dashie can go try her hoof at practical archeology. She should get addicted to exploring places Daring Do style

Modern Velociraptors make great substitute for guard dogs. Their strong pack instincts and social tendencies make them very easy to domesticate. So what if they look like turkeys? You laugh, you don't see them overwhelm you like Zerglings, kekekekekeke

Hmmmm. Maybe Dashie can find a tribe of Modern Velociraptors and befriend them. Cue obvious Livingstone shoutout when she finds Daring there. "Dr Do, I presume. (I always wanted to SAY that!)"

I don't think real archeology would be too exciting for her.

There was a fanfic where she got into it quite well. Also Scoots was best Short Round.

Ah, it's Rainbow Dash and the Treasure of Canterlot (Can be found of fimfiction)

But reallife archeology is boring and dirty.

At first she doesn't like it because it's not like in Daring Do but then she independently applies her lessons from the Best Night Ever and appreciates it for what it is not what she expected it to be.

And then DINOSAURS

Most likely she'll meet a tribe of Modern Velociraptors who treat her well and dismiss hunting ponies because the massive sauropod prey is much better eating, especially with their favourite spices.

I'd kinda like to see them subvert the usual villain roles and have the bad guys in that scenario be plant eaters who are ruining the ecosystem by killing all the plants.

Maybe the villain sauropod wants to create a massive mega-jungle that spans entire continents, only the plants they eat are the malicious Everfree-like megaflora that is too hardcore for other lifeforms.

Daring, Dashie, and some Modern Velociraptors have to stop them from ruining the land with the megaflora.

And then at the end we see the shadows of the Velociraptors tearing apart and eating the villain.

Velociraptors need no wimpy melee weapons, they've got awesome claws and excellent strength. They won't say no to good bows and ranged weapons though.

About 1.5 hours to stream time :D

Aren't claws melee weapons?

They need no melee weapons besides their own claws :V

The real reason they don't prey on ponies is because dino meat is more plentiful per sauropod and much tastier.
