Ideas that You Just Can't Get Out of Your Head

Nagasarete Airantou and MLP  

An anime done in the style of a Wes Anderson film.
 
The muted color palette, snarky-yet-calm dialogue, classic indie rock soundtrack, those weird camera angles that make everything seem so much smaller than it is, the small, dialogue heavy journey that seems so much bigger than it really is, and the dorky and eccentric cast of characters.
 
His films are nothing short of being absolute masterpieces due to the way they’re shot. It’s very artistic and unique, but at the same time just feels so small and down to earth. The stories in them are nothing short of fantastic and engrossing, too. An anime done in the style that he makes his films would be heaven for me.

Lemme see…
 
Ayane would probably be Rainbow Dash, Chikage would be Twilight, Mei Mei would be Fluttershy, Rin would be Applejack, and I dunno ’bout the rest

@ghostfacekiller39  
Oddly enough, Chikage is also the you can say Fashionista on the island. Always wanting to copy and experiment with fashion from the outside. At the same time, like Twilight with research, magic, and all.

@ghostfacekiller39  
After recently watching The Life Aquatic, I’m intrigued by this concept. He’s got such a delightful signature style that doesn’t seem to be homaged nearly enough in popular culture.
 
Also, I would love for Wes Anderson to direct another animated film at the very least. I loved The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

For some reason I really want to make stories based on each of these two pics:  
 
 
I bet I could, too, if I were a better writer.

Multiple ideas actually
 
A series about a bunch of teenage robots dealing with robot problems all while dealing with a robot society that is at the peak of (something like) the 80’s/90’s and the cold war
 
A slice of life mini series about a garage band auditioning and making it’s way through a battle of the bands competition
 
an idea about a pack of time traveling superheroes
 
A story about a teenage treasure hunter exploring a flooded earth, looking for her parents, while also being hunted down by pirates
 
And I think that’s it.

@newsketches
 
Fun.

@newsketches  
What’s this? Original ideas? Get out of here with that nonsense! >:(
 
_{^{those ideas actually look pretty cool, I’d love to see some of them come to life}}

@Kirb  
Thanks man. That really means alot to me.
 
I kinda cheated with the robot one a little bit cause I am working on a comic that is just that. Robo teens in an 80’s movie. Though, (as of posting this comment) I’ve only updated it two times so I haven’t really expressed all that much creativity with the idea of that “it’s a planet ruled by robots”  
You can check it out right here
 
The rock band idea, I’m not sure how to structure it and make it work without being really cliche
 
The time travelers, I have the characters but I don’t really have a conflict that pushes them to go to different locations, and I feel like not having like having a different local every episode can be kind of jarring
 
The pirate one, I don’t feel like I’m there as an artist just yet. Like, the main character pilots a submarine so there will more than likely be more than one scene where they go underwater and the backgrounds do most of the talking. And the main influences behind this idea are wind waker, plastic beach, flapjack, and song of the sea so I want it to be just as beautiful as those things

@newsketches  
It would be cool to see a superhero team story that has a focus on time travel from the start. Time travel usually only comes up once or twice in the entire series (since it risks consuming the rest of the story “plot tumor” style), but if a story starts from the beginning with time travel as a major component…
 
I keep coming back to this Transformers: Friendship is Magic idea, with the Mane 6 (and all the other ponies) as giant transforming superpowered alien robots from the planet Cybertron engaged in an interstellar civil war.
 
Twilight Sparkle was leading an Autobot project on transwarp uses, only to get exposed to and corrupted by massive amounts of transwarp energy. The resulting “Midnight” form was forced into a portal and the incident was covered up by Abacus Prime (or would it be “Cinch Prime?”).
 
Spike is a young human boy whose phone gets morphed into a transwarp device by the AllSpark. When he accidentally rescues Twilight Sparkle from warp space, she’s not her “Midnight” self and has no memory of the event, which should prove disastrous if she ever encounters Abacus Prime again.
 
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were two Arialbots guarded in large camps as part of the Arialbot Internment Act: Fluttershy eventually panics and loses control of her “resonance” powers, causing mass destruction and running away before the Autobot government could take her in. She possesses flight and a tessen fan resonator, additionally gaining an autogyro alt-mode when she reaches Earth.
 
Rainbow Dash ends up staying in the internment camp to prove she’s a true blue Autobot and eventually ends up on a crew of disaster relief rescue bots. Her transformation puts the engine and wings of her stunt-plane alt mode onto her back, which she can then use to perform boost attacks or fire arrows.
 
Applejack was away on an excursion to Cybertron when Decepticons launched an attack on her homeworld. She never saw the rest of her “family” of combiners again, but keeps seeing hints that they might’ve survived the attack and joined other packs of refugees. She joined a crew of disaster relief rescue bots with the hope of finding them again. In addition to being stronger than the average Autobot, AJ can extend her limbs, using them as both makeshift lassos and hoses for channeling liquids. She picks a fire pickup truck as her alt mode when she reaches Earth.

@newsketches  
No problem! I always encourage others on their own original ideas and scenarios (because I can’t come up with any of my own)
 
That’s an interesting comic with cool designs. If I could offer any feedback, sometimes it’s hard to read what they’re saying. Other than that, I’ll keep reading. I like it so far :)
 
True about the rock band idea. I think most variations of it have already been tried.
 
I’m reminded of the TV show Sliders, where they are lost from their own world and can’t go back, needing to go through each of the portals to go to the different worlds to locate their own. Maybe you could try something like that with the time travel idea?
 
And as for the pirate one, you like Plastic Beach? Cool! That’s a great album :D

@romantiCaveman  
Well, I mostly enjoy it because the thought of changing history so that the world of tomorrow changes constantly, the possibilities are endless.  
As far as your whole transformers idea, this might be because I’m not a diehard fan and I’ve only watched the 80’s cartoon/movie, the 2007 series, and parts of prime, but I feel alienated. Now, It’s a creative universe but I believe that the best ideas are the ones you could describe with as little effort as possible.  
Ultimare universe. Personality swapped mlp.  
Reaper high. Nostalgia goes to high school.  
Monster falls. A species swapped Gravity falls  
But again, it might be because I’m not a huge transformers guy. Just carry on with it, just how you imagined.

@Kirb  
Well, here’s a little behind the scenes on why the handwriting kept fluctuating in that last panel.  
There were alot of pushbacks.  
After I finished the 1st panel, my tablet died so I didn’t do anything for half of november/December and around christmas my laptop was stolen (I got it back tho and that is all that matters) for about 2 weeks, and since I couldn’t start on any homework and alot of late school work was on it I had to focus primarily on that for about the next couple weeks. So around starting the third panel, I just said “FUCKET” and did a lazier version of the other 2 panels, as for the fourth panel I was actually practicing with fire alpaca instead of my usual serrif  
Luckily, the next update is going to bring us to a whole new frontier:  
high school  
So no more generic looking park background. It’s megaman jocks, and power ranger cheerleaders for the rest of the chapter.
 
Yeah. I just want an excuse to create an animated Rockband tho
 
The time travel group has shifted the most out of all my ideas. It originally started out as brother and sister trying to return home (similar to quantum leap) but I thought that was to dark and I couldn’t think of how they got sent back, then I added an old scientists and that didn’t last long because old man taking children on adventures doesn’t exactley sound SFW, the most recent idea is a gas station clerk gets mixed up with a bunch of time travelers from across history. I mean, I guess I can make it like the original scooby doo where it’s a completely obscure where they actually live but I feel like that won’t work with the way of story telling we have today
 
Yeah. My favorite music videos of all time are from that album alone.

As far as MLP and Transformers is concerned, I always imagine Thunderlane looking around for Rumble… and finding the wrong one. :D
 
Anyway…
 
Someone Equestria Girls-ify this scene.
 
Your choice:  
Rainbow Dash or no Rainbow Dash.  
One handed pushups for the visual connection, or leg exercises for equivalence.  
Fist bump, or palm-to-palm.  
Sleeveless sporty crop tops or sleeveless tank tops. (If pushups are chosen, then we won’t be seeing their belly buttons anyway, so it doesn’t matter to me, but if you have them do leg exercises instead, then I prefer to be able to see their cute innies.  
Visible cutie mark equivalents (e.g., the star in Princess Twilight’s skirt or Sci-Twi’s hair decoration, the apple on AJ’s belt, the cloud with rainbow lightning bolt on Rainbow’s shirt) optional.
 
Shorts, please, if your picture goes out far enough to see. Opaque ones. Opaque shirt, as well. Transparent is not a color in my book; it is an opacity. (If I’m overly descriptive, it’s because on some other piece of art, I failed to specify that I wanted a picture of sisters Golden Harvest and Noi relaxing together to be safe and got an NSFW pic instead.)

@newsketches  
>the best ideas are the ones you could describe with as little effort as possible  
“The characters of FIM as members of Hasbro’s other most popular series?”  
“Mane 6 as giant spacefaring shapeshifting superpowered mechanical aliens?”  
“AU where Nightmare Moon created a political divide and endless civil war?”
 
I dunno. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d love to see a Transformers: Animated-like take on FIM.

I want to see Applejack or Cheerilee cosplay as New Horizon’s Ellen Baker

This was an idea for a comic I was going to do way back when Twilight became an alicorn, back when I briefly considered getting back into art. Some time after her transformation, Celestia would challenge Twilight’s abilities. Since in my headcanon Celestia is super-powerful, they’d fly out to the middle of a bay somewhere to fight. Twi would be all like “I don’t want to fight you, princess! Please don’t make me do this!” Celestia would reply with something like “Don’t worry, my dear student, you don’t have to worry about hurting me. Just come at me with all you’ve got.”
 
They exchange magic blasts for awhile, and Twilight is initially unable to keep up with Celestia’s speed, but eventually learns to predict her movements and lands a good hit or two. Celestia wipes a small cut on her cheek, “Impressive, Twilight. You always did learn quickly. But let’s see if you can handle this!” Celestia then pulls out the Elements of Harmony, they spin around her and she absorbs their power. In a brilliant flash, more like a nuclear explosion, she’s transformed into Solar Flare… or Super Celestia, or something.
 
The rest of the Mane 6 run up to the shore to check out the commotion and see this blinding creature of pure energy, and Twilight nearby. Everyone’s agape in surprise at what’s happening, as is Twi. Back above the sea, Celestia smirks, “I have a gift for you, Twilight. We’re going to play catch.” She then teleports out of sight and reappears miles above Equestria. “LET’S SEE IF YOU CAN CATCH THIS!” She zips off at fractional c speed out of the atmosphere, eventually arriving at the sun. Celestia casts an incantation and with magic runes carves out a piece of the sun and forms it into a ball. “SOLAR STORM!” she shouts, and hurtles the blazing white-hot ball toward the planet’s surface.
 
Twilight, seeing the ball of destruction rushing at her at thousands of miles per hour, casts a massive shielding spell to block it just in time. It impacts and explodes in a gigantic nuclear fireball, vaporizing most of the bay and carving a huge crater hundreds of feet deep. Twilight uncovers her eyes and slowly opens them. She’s alive. Celestia zips down, sighs, and de-powers, storing the Elements in her bag. “You did well, Twilight. Now you know what our race is truly capable of.” And then they hug or some shit. The end.

A while back, I posted this idea:
 

 
Similarly, I’d like to see Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine giving Lyra and Minuette a ride on their backs.

 
Skydiving event at the Friendship Games. Over-enthusiastic Lemon Zest and this why-am-I-here Sci-Twi against Dash and Shy, with Vice Principal Luna along as judge, who is keenly aware of how ridiculous the whole setup is but is cooly rolling along with it anyway.

A good screenshot of Mt. Rock from Eternal Sonata, with Maud Pie edited in so it looks like she’s there.

I just saw Northernlion fight Hawkwood the Deserter, and I thought a image of Spike facing off him while Hawkwood makes some speech about how he’s “more dragon then you” to Spike would be pretty boss.

Here are some tags:  
solo female, looking at you, smiling, incoming tickles
 
And here’s the idea:  
A Equestria Girls character (or Equestria Girls-ified character) is approaching “you” (that is, the one looking at the art), wiggling her fingers, signaling that she intends to tickle you. The smile could be playful, a sultry smile, or a wicked grin. I would prefer if the pictures fall into the safest two ratings, but whatever.

I would love to see FiM characters being in the same situation as these guys in ENIGMA : An Illusion Named Family horror game for those who played it. Being trapped in a dark mansion with a murderer on the loose and rampant distrust among family members in the house.  
 

This is a scene that would be great to use, good luck finding a context to put it in.
 
The setup: Fluttershy finds herself being the only one who can stop a villainous character’s rampage, and she acts decisively.
 
The villain wakes up suddenly, with Fluttershy cradling them in her hooves. She tells them it’s all right, it was all a bad dream, that she’s there for them, they can go back to sleep.
 
Fluttershy starts singing a long version of the “Hush Now, Quiet Now” lullaby. The first verse is gentle and motherly as the villain drifts off to sleep, reassured and content.
 
Fluttershy pauses after the first verse to look at the villain in her arms. They’re clearly dead. Fluttershy begins singing the second verse, not changing cadence but changing tone to that of a funeral hymn. She picks the villain up and carries them gently to a place they can be buried.
 
The song goes on through a brief montage of Fluttershy lowering the villain into a fresh grave prepared by her friends, and starting to bury the villain with her own hooves. The end of the song comes when Fluttershy finishes and stands before the grave, carrying the final notes, tears streaming down her face.
 
Would work best with a tragic villain.

And preferably already dying.
