Hey, I'm starting to think My Little Pony Tales used some of the same character archetypes!

[up][up][up][up]Only 2 nitpicks:

  • Not sure why the "Ashleigh Ball" is in there instead of "Tara Strong", especially since you actually use Tara Strong later in the lyrics

  • The "Cinephile" needs to be changed to the cartoon equivalent.

Other than that, it was freaking awesome. I'd sing it, if not for the fact that I'm a terrible singer.

Tara strong is said when the actual song says Johnny Depp. When Ashleigh Ball is said, the actual song is singing Kiera Knightly. It is appropriate when you think about it

@Teeth Argh, oh yea, I was wanting to change the cinephile and I forgot. Does anyone happen to know what the appropriate term is? I want to say telephile, but I think I'm off base on that.

Also glad you all enjoyed it. smile

Oog, congrats Pannic! Any idea what role you'll be playing?

Well, I haven't been "cast" yet. I auditioned for "Lord Oceanmist, " who's an OC (obviously). Serves as the antagonist and Rarity's love interest. I haven't received an indication of what I'm expected to read for, but I should get an email within the week.

I've informed my father to be prepared for odd words to be coming from my room.

Hey guys, I've been thinking about potential season 2 ideas, and especially about the possiblity of an 'Elements of Discord' angle. And I think I've come up with a good reason for why they might be created.

The evil magic that corrupted Luna (I'll just call it The Corruption) realises that after suffering two defeats at the hooves of the weilders of the Elements of Harmony, it'll ever get anywhere while they still stand. So it forges the Elements of Discord, to try and break up and break down the Mane Cast, and over the course of the season, recruits suitable weilders to use them. And here they are:

The Element of Deceit (counterpart to A Js Honesty). A master theif, conartist and catburgler wanted up and down Equestria for the theift of millions. Has over a dozen different aliases, and is a Magnificent Bastard and Master of Disguise of the highest orders. Gentlestallion theif, possibly with an upper class british accent (in his true guise, as he is very good at adopting different personas). Complusive lair. Is tasked with ruining Sweet Apple Acres (possibly by emptying the Apple family's bank account) to break AJ's spirit, but can't bring themselves to do it (maybe he develops feelings for AJ?) and suffers at the hands of the corruption for it. Eventually repents, and turns himself in so as to wipe the slate clean.

The Element of Treachery (counterpart to Dash's Loyality). It's Gilda! Works as the mole for the bad guys. Comes back, pretending to have changed, and wanting back in Rainbow Dash's good books, but is setting her and the rest of the main cast up for an ambush and showdown. But, in the end, her loyality to Dash makes her do a Face Heal Turn.

The Element of Misery (counterpart to Pinkie's Laughter). A sad, lonely, miserable little emo mare who can reduce full grown stallions to tears just by reciting a really sad story. Sucks the joy and fun out of everything so much it could be considered a superpower. Is tasked with turning Pinkie Pie into Pinkimena permanantly, and almost succeeds. But it dosn't work out as planned, and instead, Pinkie succeeds in making them smile for the first time. Crowning Moment Of Heartwarmingensues.

The Element Of Greed (counterpart to Rarity's Generosity). A greedy, amoral, tighthooved corrupt corporate executive/ treasure hunter who treats his workers like dirt. Hoards things just so others can't have them. An uncouth, ill mannered Corrupt Hick. Also, very ugly. Tasked with running Rarity out of business with their own, very cheap, designer clothes (possibly made in a hellish sweatshop type factory). But Rarity eventually gets through to them, and he repents. Turns to charitable causes as a result.

The Element Of Malice (counterpart to Fluttershy's Kindness). A vicious, sadistic bully who scares the hell out of everyone. To counter Fluttershy's meekness and love of nature, they are a gaint Boisterous Brusier and Mad Scientist, surrounded by machines and technology. They are tasked with utterly crushing Ponyville into dust, possibly with the use of a gaint death machine. Eventually hurts one of Fluttershy's friends, and well, you saw what happened to the dragon and the cockatrice.wink Cue cowering in the corner, sucking front hoof like a baby under the glare of Pyschoshy. Then it turns out that they had a crappy childhood, and all it takes is for Fluttershy to show them the first real act of Kindness they ever experienced to turn them around.

And leading the team is...Trixie! Wants fame and glory as The Dragon. Is eventually possessed by the Corruption, becoming Trixie Moon! Takes the Elements of Harmony to save her. And then she finially eats some of that humble pie!

Now, unlike the Mane Cast, who are all close friends, none of the Elements of Discord really get along with each other. Instead, they work as lone operatives, working their good counterpart to try and break them down.

What do think of this idea. And should I make this a fanfic maybe?

[up] and I thought I was the only one who came up with the idea for Trixie Moon (granted the way she becomes it in my fic is a lot different but still) Corrupted elements of Harmony would be interesting to see for sure.

btw, do you think Luna remembers ALL the time she spent as Nightmare Moon?

I'm kind of thinking of the Elements of Chaos in a similar idea for my PMMM fanfiction. The idea however is that while the Elements of Harmony are the mane casts biggest strengths the Elements of Chaos are the Magical Girls biggest flaws. So they're still (mostly) good people but horribly flawed.

I just realized something. Pinkie Pie has magical powers from the "element of laughter". Therefore her Rule of Funny reality warping is actually cannon.
It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

It also explains her ability to use Cartoon Physics. I wonder if Fluttershy's "Stare" has something to do with her Element. I suppose making an opponent back off is kinder than fighting them.

Copypasta from Equestria Forums:

Why is watching Rainbow Dash bouncing her ball one of the cutest things in the show? I know the entire show is incredibly cute, but why does Rainbow Dash bouncing a ball on her head stand out so much?

I can't help but picture that character as some variation on a Bible Salesman.

We were going on about Owliscious (can't spell it) maybe being Luna's pet, and that pic seems to be implying the same, given the way he's positioned next to Luna (Philomena is close to Celestia on the other side aswell)

If I could get one of those, I'd stop caring about weither or not people know about me liking the show. I'd just stick it on the room door and say, there it is. I like it. Deal with it.
