...and then there's Rarity the vampire...

And then there's Maude!

Pinkie's eyes appear to be staring into my soul.

This suits Pinkie like a glove.

Ah, good old Jonathan Coulton. That amv is kind of awful though.

This guy said it before I got here today:

Manes as tertiary supporting roles at most. Occasional episodes that focus on the borderlands.

Oh right, that question. Keep it slice of life, but focus on an entirely different cast, preferably set in a different town. Characters from FIM make occasional cameos, but that's it.

An epic High Fantasy tale that just happens to star cute pastel colored ponies, with tons of world building and magical explanations still designed for all ages but with somewhat more mature subject matter...

What?

Octavia would be the main character in mine.

If I could make a MLP show?

It would be about my explorers...or something similar. You all know how that goes.

A series that runs in parallel with Friendship Is Magic, depicting the same events but from the perspective of the background ponies. Episodes that were originally slice-of-life would now be adventures; for example, the analogue to "Dressed for Success" would be about Vinyl Scratch, a spy who uses her DJ gig at the fashion show as a cover for a clandestine meeting. And adventure episodes would become slice-of-life ones. "Dragonshy" would focus on the weather ponies cleaning up the smog, and "A Canterlot Wedding, Part 2" would focus on a family of tourists who end up right in the middle of the changeling invasion and completely fail to notice it.

I posted a link to some new S3 premiere info in the spoiler thread.

I wonder if Twilight's relation with Celestia will change in any way.

Now that her brother has married her niece , that make her technically related to her now.

A post on another forum got me thinking. What are the fanon-accepted "eras" of Equestrian history?

@Veni Vedi: I doubt it. Twilight seems too reverent of Celestia to start treating her more casually, and Celestia already treats her pretty much like family.

Twilight: Yo, Celly! 'Sup?

The general 'Era" time line i've seen goes

Paleo-Pony Period-Ancient history

Pre-Classical era-Raise of the standard three tribe pony civilization as seen in HWE till the founding of Equestria.

Classical Era-Founding of Equestria to rise of Discord and his defeat by the Princesses, after which they took over rule.

Princesses Era -Royal Sisters take over rule to Nightmare moon

Celestial Era- The 1000 years when Celestia ruled alone

Modern Era- Staring from the return of Luna

This, pretty much.

Making an MLP show?

This is actually something that was discussed several months ago, when I was here more often, but I still like the idea: A show following Trixie and a few companions she picks up along the way, travelling and doing magic shows, as well as a bit of... magical clean-up, where necessary. The audience would only be a bit older than the show as is, and deals more with lessons about personal stuff rather than relationships. Like, Trixie's path to being a not-a-huge-duck type stuff.

I wonder how the mane cast would react to this one.

I think that Fluttershy and Rarity would most likely to be horrified, Twilight and Rainbow would be fascinated, Applejack indifferent.

Pinkie would want one. It would all go downhill from then...

@IfYouWereInChargeOfAnFimSpinoff/Reboot I already posted a reply saying that it would be the same show in a more modern setting with more continuity, but I might as well post another one.

It would be like a Magical Girl anime or modern superhero cartoon, where the ponies deal with various villains, monsters, and other antagonists across Equestria. Each character would have a major inner conflict that is occasionally touched upon. Other characters would get limelight episodes or major roles across multiple episodes. Celestia and Luna would be a way bigger help, serving as a sort of mission control via magical communication or as a way to signify that SHIT JUST GOT REAL by going in themselves. Fight scenes would crank the HSQ up as high as possible, then make it go even higher when previously mentioned feces becomes nonfictional.

Plushie time!

Nightmare Moon again. And a couple of other people.

If I could make a spin-off show... a full on Magical Girl Fantasy adventure thing. Fancy Pants recruits Apple Fritter, Firecracker Burst, Minty, one of Luna's batpony guards, and a lovable Diamond Dog to join him on his Steam Punk airship to travel the world, fight monsters, really dig into the mythology of the universe.

Too much to ask for, I know, but that's what I'd do.

No it's not, you've watched lots of episodes.
