Stupid stuff that comes to mind that we want to post (pony version)

Pipp would make a good ringmare in the EFC.

Hitch as a Lightweight fighter would be harsh and trash talking like Conor McGregor.

Twilight is admittedly one of the most versatile characters. And funnily enough it doesn’t come up at expenses of having unique aspects, but rather because her specialitites (leader-like, task oriented, snarky yet also wacky when pushed) makes her rather dynamic to write of.
It’s very easy for the specialities to quickly make a character very linear or archetypical, even though those same traits are often what makes them rather open ended in a lot of ways. It helps that Twilight starts being “the smart one”, but ends up becoming “the SMART one” (as in, from a bookish character who just simply gives info and looks sciency, to one who can actually back up her book smarts with actual applications, cunning, analytical, rational in the definition of actually coming with lots of ideas and analysis, eventually being quite out of the box, sometimes straightforward and some other times quite tricky in her approaches.) In other words, she’s arguably one of the hardest to predict in a good way, a character that keeps you in your toes rather than one you already know what to expect and feels too static.

@Twi Clown
Pushing the brains of the team into the leader-protagonist role does shake up the dynamic quite a bit.

(I do speculate on the root cause sometimes - positive role-model for girls in the sciences? Because ivory-tower intellectualism is one of the few accepted reasons for social isolation which doesn’t suggest the friendless individual is unlikeable in some way? Or just cause Lauren has a liking for nerds?)

By the way, Twilight seems to have developed a mild case of gender fluidity in your post.

@Latecomer
Yeah, that’s how I feel Twilight differentiate from a lot of other cartoon protagonists. She isn’t a kid or a playful and energetic ball of positivity. She is rational, collected, and always uses her head first.

@Latecomer
Stupid misspellings. No, i didn’t want to imply any gender fluid stuff much less confirm, it was only a damn wording mistake.
Isolation comes from different ways. Intelligent people are often noted to have a predilection for isolation, however that alone is not really too determinant as Twilight doesn’t belong to a role as much as she just takes the role she wants or needs. She is indeed the leader, she can use book smarts but evolves into a much more dynamic character without losing any of her main qualities. Her loneliness goes more into a sense of passion for her work and hobbies, and honestly, I often think Twilight is more on the distrustful nature rather than shy, meek or overwhelmed. I mean, even if she appreciates Celestia, she was always prone to think she would give horrific punishments for failure despite evidence of the opposite, she thought her friends would hate her just for being talented in Boast Busters, she never asks for help in the heart’s warming eve preparations, she constantly hides information from others, and didn’t want to loose a trivia contest because she was paired with a on/off nitwit like Pinkie, I think Twilight simply doesn’t trust in others as much as she sometimes might wish and she prefers to be self-reliant.

@Just Wayne
She’s pretty possitive a lot of the time, but mostly regarding books, friend parties, challenging taks and the sorts, and whenever something happens, she’s quick on the move to solve a problem. Twilight, again, is task-oriented, not pony-oriented, she comes off as a cynic at first glance but it’s because she’s not the kind of girl who would accept anyone on her life or tolerate just any antic just because, just ask Trixie (Twilight doesn’t even regard her as a rival, Twilight flat out wants nothing to do with Trixie most of the time). She’s energic but thoughtful, careful yet brave, powerful but not dumb muscle, and compassionate but not too easily forgiving (well, at first, but in this case Twilight wasn’t alone with the whole “easily forgiving” BS).

@Twi Clown
That’s a lot of words for a thread like this :V

@Mr.Myoozik
Yeah. I gotta admit this is the abridged version because I can talk alone with lots of words. I’m somewhat passionate.

@yelling_into_the_void
Zipp is descendant of Flurry Heart???!!!!

@Mr.Myoozik
After all, where else can we give MLP character analysis?

I hate how I favorite every image on this site. I wish I had more discernment. What am I Sethisto?! One day I need to finally settle what my favorites are.

I can’t be the only one who gets a Weird Al vibe from songs like “Danger Danger” and “T.R.A.S.H”.

Trash, sure, but Danger Danger makes me think of Nirvana

So, I just saw that Them’s Fightin’ Herds is coming to Switch on October 18th

Applejack: Hank Hill
Lyra: Dale Gribble
Berry Punch: Bill Dauterive

Who would be Boomhauer?

@Dirty Bit
I’m still wondering that. Maybe Braeburn, since he talks quickly (a stretch); maybe Screwball because she is incoherent; we could always resort to Apple Family background ponies.

I figured Big Mac or Vinyl Scratch, since they usually don’t talk. The latter, much so.

That, and the two being depicted as popular in fanon.

@Dirty Bit
Isn’t the point of Boomhauer that he speaks like an MG42 machine gun?

Except when he doesn’t, yeah

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Unpopular Opinions Thread, since I think this is mostly a shitpost thread

So wait. Sunset shimmer had a boyfriend in Canterlot High. If Sunset showed up in the human world before Twilight that means she’s older than Twilight. And if the Mane 6 are probably in their 20’s. And if the pony humans are all teens…

…Oh no. Oh no! OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Lyra: l’m going to replace my blood with your nonrabid blood, Applejack, which will both cure me and give me all your knowledge of apples and apple accessories.

@Mr.Myoozik
The problem is that that thread is for hot takes. If I were to say something like “Fluttershy was awesome in Hurricane Fluttershy”, that would be the consesus not a hot take.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Twilight not being an introvert sounds pretty hot take to me.

@Just Wayne
heh that is a good point.
