... I should go visit Humanhattan someday.

Going by that logic, Ponyville was probably founded by A. Pony. Wonder what their Cutie Mark was....

Bet she experienced massive "a pony" jokes in high school.

I improved the art here to bring it closer to the style of the show.

What does everpony think?

I told you so. Those complains are silly.

BTW Equestria is real place, somewhere in South Africa.

I need to visit some Equestrian Club and then act real disappointed when it's not full of people from Equestria.

And my favorite:

Of course the group I was trying to enter into has a "one deviation per week rule" even if said deviation was "REJECTED". Seriously what sense does that make?

Rhyme: You could try arguing that it is still one deviation, or rather an improved version of the same drawing that you touched up in going for their criteria. If they still say no, I guess you'll just have to wait.

As far as the drawing goes, I'll post some advice to your DA.

How do I do that though? I automatically vanish my correspondance notes after they're accepted or rjected and the group won't respond to questions of that nature in the group discussion.

I kinda wanna see some non-pony oriented locations in season 2

Like A griffon city, or a dragon city (if only to see more baby dragons)

DO you think non-ponies accept Celestia as the ruler of Equestria? I can't imagine someone like Gilda (assuming her dislike for ponies is partly instinctual) bowing down to Celestia is all I'm saying.

That goes for the Buffalo in "Over A Barrel" too

Equestria is part of world not name of this world.

I know, but it still looks like several different sentient races live in Equestria.

Death: Actually, at BroNYcon, it sounded like they hadn't decided that yet. I believe Jayson said something along the lines of "Equestria might have a border."

Rhyme: Try messaging one of the admins directly.

^^In my headcanon (largely based off of Dangerous Business), Celestia holds a position of power among even the rulers of other countries. Though she's technically their equal, especially given Equestria's nature as a peaceful, agrarian country (as opposed to the land of dragons or gryphons, one would assume), her wisdom and power allow her to make injunctions that other rulers wouldn't be able to. In a companion piece to Dangerous Business, Celestia mentions bringing down the Tyrant Emperor of dragonkind, and I certainly don't imagine her as the type to fear getting her hooves dirty if she had to to protect Equestria or the innocents of another country.

I'm still of the opinion that Celestia has siblings across the world who're in charge of the various countries. With their Father/Mother being in charge of the whole world.

Then again, I'm obsessed with Code Geass, so of course I'd think that

As one of the main contributors to the background ponies section, obviously I'm for it staying. Not because they're important to the fandom but they do exist as characters that can be troped. We know that gray pegasus with a blone mane competed in the Best Young Flyer's Competition, helps out with the weather in Ponyville, hangs out with the umbrella cutie mark pegasus and her raindrop cutie mark Palette Swap quite a bit (More so than Carrot Top, if I recall correctly), she occasionally has Fish Eyes, and she and her Palette Swap buddy accidentally dropped a bunch of stuff on Twilight Sparkle. She is one of many Recurring Extras.

In fact, we know more about her than we do about Twilight's mom, who by all means should be much more important in the show. What do we know about her?...She looks like G1 Twilight.

What we don't know about that pegasus is if she really is Ditzy Doo, the pony that went north for the southern birds, her intelligence level, if she's a mother, her favorite food, etc, and I think that's the main problem. Keeping Canon separate from Fanon.

I'd like (and have been trying to keep) the background ponies page strictly what's canon about them with a few Fanon tidbits in their descriptions and their Fan Nicknames. the Ensemble Darkhorse page can go into deeper details about their general fanon personalities, but the actual character page should stay with what's shown in the show.

On a different subject, I wanted to ask anyone who was around when season one was airing how indicative those one sentence previews were to what actually happened in the episode? Because if the next episode is going where I think its going I'm going to be pretty disappointed (though it would be fitting that I don't like the third episode of season 2 since "Ticket Master" is still my least favorite episode)

edited 27th Sep '11 2:52:03 PM by Mio

What does the preview say?

It says. . ."Hyper-organized Twilight panics when she can’t find a lesson about friendship for her weekly letter to Princess Celestia."

That sounds cool, and surprisingly clever due to the nature of this show. Why do you dislike it?

You WOULD run out of shit to write about after a while

edited 27th Sep '11 2:58:59 PM by gingerninja666

Meh. The general thought is that this is going to be a "Twilight breaks down" episode, and I have honestly grown rather sick of pony break downs.

I suppose it is true she would run out of things to write about, but I can't help but feel that this episode is just going to combine the worst aspects (IMO), of Ticket Master (flimsy conflict) and Feeling Pinkie Keen (awkward slapstick).

...In other news, I just found myself on the My Little Pony discussion subpage and someone asked this.

It made me chuckle, considering what we were talking about for the past couple of pages.

While I've lurked TV Tropes for a while, I didn't lurk the pony sections and wasn't aware of Friendship is Magic until back in February or March. I'm trying to imagine all the Trope Overdose that was happening to the main My Little Pony page back when Friendship is Magic was announced! Oh it must have been glorious...

I really hope those responses are being sarcastic....

I'm looking forward to it, I must say. It sounds like an interesting idea indeed.
