If I did write up an IF, I'd include the feature to switch between the Mane Six. Each would have certain abilities for puzzle solving. For instance, Twilight can find and cast spells from books she finds but isn't very good at subtlety. Whereas Rarity has precise control of levitation and would be ideal for item manipulation. Each character would have different room descriptions reflecting their personalities. Twilight would descend into technical termonology for even simple objects for comic effect. Rarity's descriptions would be full on Purple Prose. Applejack would be short and to the point. Fluttershy would have short hesitant sentences representing her nervousness. And Pinkie can actually hear the second person narration and acts as the text-parser directly addressing the player. Since MLP and If love their puns, this might work. I'd also change some verbs to be more ponylike.

toga!

I don't think Pinkie should directly break the fourth wall. She never really does in canon outside of quick gags. I find the fanon depiction very annoying on this point.

Okay I checked our Equestria daily an It had a discussion about "which theme park should get the MLP licence" So I'll just ask what theme park do you think should have the license and why.

She wouldn't directly break it, just little aside comments like remarking on your score and lampshading some of the tropes from most IF games.

Speaking of Equestria Daily, I don't actually like the idea of Pinkie having sugar rush powers. It makes her too unique. Plus it would have made her a bit of a deadringer for Mac being able to do the same in Fosters. Kind of glad the plan fell through.

Tough question. Universal would probably handle it more tastefully, especially given Disney's current...predelictions.

15 years ago I'd have said Disney, no question.

Berry, what are you doing? Berry, stahp.◊

This is how it starts.

Looks more like Mr. T.

Hi everyone, what's going on?

Not much. It's a slow afternoon.

EQD just posted a bunch of facts that Lauren Faust apparently gave them. I can't help but think a lot of these would have resulted in Gender Flip roles...I can't imagine a female zebra named Shaman.

I'm at work.

Apparently Fim Fiction got another overhaul, and I gotta say I don't like this one. I know you can see both updates and new fics now, but it looks bland as hell now, what with white boxes with text dominating everything and the images getting shrunk down to useless sizes.

Or maybe I'm just a bit annoyed by the fact I just saw Derpi eating itself alive in the comments for an image uploaded by an ED troll who actually revealed himself as one.

Equestria Daily wasn't given anything, they just looked at Lauren's Twitter page.

After the Pony Farts incident, I'm not so sure how much trust I put in Lauren's word, even if its completely believable stuff

Wait, are you saying that pegasi don't fart helium?

I'm glad they went for Generosity over Inspiration.

And what do they mean, Rainbow was "supposed to be" a serial prankster? Like she isn't still?

Also, I like those ideas for Pinkie's sisters' names. Though, I think "Mince Meat" is a bit clunky, when "Mince" alone would work.

Only slightly related to Pony, but this tweet from Lauren is interesting.

@Pyk Yeah it seems that every time Disneyland gets a ride based on a third party IP. They always seem to by that third party sooner or later.

Here, here.

It's always interesting to think if an audience would react to a character in the same way if their gender was reversed.

I remember when I read To Kill a Mockingbird, it took me like have the book to realize that the main character is female.

Ug, what's up with my connection? This is the third time today that one my posts didn't go through on the first try.

I stayed up half the night last night digitizing G1 pony cutie marks to use on my embroidery machine. I did Medley, Firefly, Snuzzle, Moonstone, and Moondancer

Whats new with everyone else?

Also... WHAT?

Pinkie's sisters weren't named as far as I know but we were considering Mince Meat Pie and Chicken Pot Pie. Gross. (From Lauren Faust's Tweets)

And now we eagerly await for some to take the names as canon, with lengthy and pointless discussions ensuing with those who didn't.

It makes sense if the Family's surname is Pie... but I cant imagine why if they farm rocks. I could see them all having rock based names and Pinkie either took on a new name when she got her CM or her naming was unusual for the family.

Well she has a "Granny Pie", so it's not an isolated name...

Ahoy hoy. What's up?
