    Now, this is the story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I'd like to take a minute
    Just sit right still
    I'll tell you how I became the Party pony of a town called Ponyville

    In west Fillydelphia born and raised
    On the Rock farm was where I spent most of my days
    Workin' out, waterin' struggling all hard
    And rolling some rocks outside of yard
    When a Sonic Rainboom
    Appeared in the sky
    Was so awesome my brain fry
    I prepared one little party and my mom got ill
    She said 'You're movin' in with Granny Pie in Ponyville'

    >Meh, i tried. Old joke is old.

    Look, for all we know, they could just be making it up for the little ones in order to avoid telling them that the cutie mark only appears after "intercourse".

    Of course that would darken everything.

    Yea, I guess. But now I'm wondering about her parents. Did Celestia have parents? I know Lauren said that she has no relatives that surpass her.

    Brain idea!

    Celestia was once a powerful Unicorn. She spent her whole life searching for more power and found it in the combined forms of all the ponies. She eventually found away to grant herself the attributes of all of them, Unicorns, Pegasii and Earth Ponies.

    She granted this gift to her sister as well and it gave them both incredible power and immortality. But Luna didn't respect or comprehend the magnitude of this gift she has been given. This lead to a stewing resentment between the two, because Luna saw that her sister was more powerful than her.

    I believe Lauren's explanation was that Luna was affected by evil magics (tm) more than her own emotions. They played a part, but it was more of an outside force. This'll probably explained with the new recurring villain.

    Celestia saw the power Twilight possesed and looked upon it with envy. She new that the young filly had much potential. Potential for powerful magic that would be hers. She took the young pony under her wing and taught her undying respect and loyalty to Her and Her alone.

    As the years past, she taught Twilight to harness her magic, to let it develop into something that she would one day take for herself.

    But there was a problem. She saw that this power within her could not be unleashed through training alone. She sent Twilight to some out of the way town to complete her training. Through her friends, twilight's power grew and one day, she was ready.

    Celestia would take from her everything she had built for her. She would take her friends, her magic, her life. All would be for Celestia.

    Gun, with occasional Pony

    This world is a funny old place. That’s the first thought that came to my mind when I saw the body. Perhaps the whole thing was just a massive joke, some prank pulled by a God with a weird ass sense of humor. In anycase this poor colt ain’t laughing anymore. He had his last laugh, about five hours ago judging by the rigor mortis. It was a gruesome scene, the mod who brought me here had left as fast as he’d come, weak stomach poor kid. I wish I’d had the same luxury, to go out and retch my guts into the sewer drain, but somepony had to do this job, and it certainly wasn’t the newbie turning green in the hall. I looked over the body carefully. He’d spilled his guts, quite literally. Somepony had harbored a terrible grudge against this guy, he was carved up finer than a thanksgiving turkey. It was so bad I almost didn’t recognize him.
    He was Ragingingsemi, I remembered him from the billboards in the FIM district on the outskirts of the /co/mpound. He was a fic writer, not unlike myself once upon a time, but he wrote fics of different nature, a dirty nature. Fapfics were a thriving business here, RagingSemi’s house of Fapfics was one of the most popular places for the trade all along the /co/ast, encompassing the /co/mpound all they way down to the /b/ay. It’s main place of operations was in the the FIM district, not too far from the motel, in an otherwise clean cut, easy going area. He’d made a lot of enemies, apparently some of them were going to be very happy now.
    I’d had nothing against the guy, he was just trying to make a living in this place, same as the rest of us. Who could blame him if his methods were a bit....eccentric to put it mildly, he certainly didn’t deserve to be here, in this dump of a motel, split open like a fortune cookie on new years.

    “Squeak.” called the mod from the hall. He lurched back into the room looking like a dead fish. “You got anything?”
    “I’ve got a few things.” I gazed around the room. It was your regular cheap motel on the east end of the /co/mpound. It smelled of cigars, mold, and, thanks to Semi, roadkill. He was on the floor, several feet from anything in the room. The decor, what little there was, lay untouched. The tables and chairs lay undisturbed, and the bed was perfectly made, right down to the mints on the pillows. It was strange, aside from the blood slowly pooling around the former author, the room was immaculate. “It looks like the body was moved, this room is far too neat to be the scene of the crime. No blood spatter on the walls, no sign of a struggle, this whole thing stinks to high heaven.”

    “You’re telling me.” said the mod, holding his nose. I didn’t know his name, no one did. He was one of several who patrolled the /co/mpound, making sure everybody obeyed the rules. They weren’t very good at their jobs. Most of them hated us, and encouraged trouble more than they helped. But a few of them were on our side. Still I didn’t think I’d be getting much help on this case.
    “Thanks for bringing me.” I nodded to the kid. “It’s just as bad as you said on the phone.” I pointed to the bed. “The way I see it, they brought the body into this room to set up a false scene. But they must have been interrupted, if they were smart enough to move the body, there’s no way they would have left without messing up the room a little.” I walked over to the window, it was open, a gentle breeze rustled the curtains as it came in from the street “They probably went over the fire escape and into the city. Whoever it was they’re long gone now.” I looked back at the

    Then her plan will surely backfire, Twilight has no difficulty lying to celestia, nor encouraging others to do the same. She'll lead the first successful revolution and raise the sun herself.

    poor sucker sprawled on the carpet. “But they won’t be for long.” I marched past the mod, mumbling my thanks again, and made my way to the street level. It was late, I was never quite sure of the time, ponies don’t wear watches. But I was sure it was at least a little past midnight. Still the taxis drove through the streets like clockwork. I hailed one and quickly boarded.
    As the cabbie started the car, I thought to myself again about this was a funny old world, The OC, the place I called home. They say everything, when it gets big enough, spawns a world like this, a world where ideas are power, where every thought of the fans takes shape, no matter how incipid or superfluous. The kind of place where you don’t have to tell the cabbie where you want to go because they never do that in the movies, inner monologues are done with a slight echo, and a pony can drive a car even though they lack opposable thumbs. Everything around me was a thought, a construct of nonsense built upon an original foundation, My Little Pony: Friendship is magic.

    Watch the episode 1 intro.
    At the time they fought, Celestia and Luna didn't have cutie marks.
    Celestia got hers in a similar incident as Twilight, although in a much more stressful situation while supercharged with the Elements of Harmony.

    It had surprised everyone when it’d come to popularity, it seemed harmless at first, but grew in a surprisingly short time, before we knew it, we were here. None of us more than seven months old, based on a cartoon. Everything was pony based, mixed in with the often warped, strange ideas of The Fandom. Even the cab in which I now rode was pink with large curly hair.
    I myself was the idea, the facsimile, of a fan. A rather small idea, just an image here, a mention there. But an idea nonetheless. I don’t know who from, none of us did, but almost every person with a name has the same story. One day poof, you’re here, in The OC, no warning, not a lick of sense, just the whim of some writer, artist or random person. But you learn quick, you have to. Apparently Semi hadn’t learned enough. I had a few suspects in the case, a few leads I needed to check. But first I needed to head back to the office
    The building I was housed in was themed after Doctor Whoof, a large hourglass for a door, and a spiky hairdo for a roof. I payed the cabbie. I didn’t have pockets, but the money always just seemed to be there, in my hoof when I needed it, exact change. That’s just how things worked.
    Inside it was a bit run down, but it was home. My office was on the ground floor, behind the door with my name on it, “Squeak” it proclaimed in large boldface type, Arial by the looks of it. Below that the word “Writer” had been hastily crossed out, and replaced with Private Eye, spelled in Comic Sans. I hated Comic Sans. The words had simply popped up after the ‘incident’ and I had followed them. I wasn’t a writer anymore. I thought as I walked past the door into my office. The only stories I needed now were real stories, stories from the streets.
    >> Anonymous 04/18/11(Mon)14:26 No.25224549
    I mulled over this case that’d fallen in my lap. What’d happened to poor Mr.Semi? Where had it happened? Who had done it? All these questions burned in my head. I had some suspects lined up in my head, but in the OC new ponies came and went like so much salad at a buffet. It would be a hard case to solve, but I had nothing but time. I needed someone to ask, a trampoline off which to bounce my theories. I needed to go see someone with connections. I needed Pacce, or maybe Madmax.
    A knock at the door shook me from my thoughts.
    “Mail” came a voice from the door. A voice I could never mistake, no one in the OC sounded quite like that.
    “Come in, Derpy.” I called. “It’s open.”
    She stepped in, her blond mane wild as usual, her eyes staring of in opposite directions.
    “Mail.” she said again.
    Derpy was an odd case. Here in the OC, the occasional background pony from The Cannon ended up popping into existence when the fan speculation on them became too much. They were often treated like minor celebrities. But Derpy was an odd case.

    She had started out as an animation error, as far as I’d heard. Then the fandom ran away with her. Comics, pictures, stories, theories, all poured into one idea, the idea of Derpy, or Bright Eyes, as she sometimes liked to be called. All of this was just fine and dandy, and in fact how most BP’s ended up in the OC, but she was something different. Her idea had gotten so big, it bled it’s way into The Cannon. The creators took a thought from the OC, and made it “Real”. She popped up in episodes, and derped her way around the actual ponyville. Yet at the same time, she was a fan construct. Most of her personality was just the whims of fans and fic writers, subject to change and sway at the drop of a hat. So she was in between. Her eyes had been crossed before the shift, but now ponies said they seemed even more so. They said she had an eye for each world. One eye in The Cannon, one eye in the OC. It made her a bit funny in the head. Her voice was made of the theories of what she might sound like. So as a result it sounded like everything, from a sweet country girl, to chain smoking Spaniard, it was all there. The generall effect was like putting a television in a blender.
    “What have you got for me Derps?” I asked kindly. I liked the kid, she was a kind enough pony, despite her issues.
    “Mail.” she said a third time.
    “Okay, put it on the desk.” I cleared a space. I really did need to be neater if I ever got the time.
    She reached her head into her saddlebags, and retrieved a small envelop. I’ll never quite figure out how she kept them all straight, the mail always looked tossed around at random in that bag to me. But she always pulled out the right one nonetheless. She sat it down.
    “Who’s it from?” I asked. A lot of ponies never signed letters, you always had to ask the mailmare if you wanted to know. It didn’t make much sense, but it made exposition a lot easier.
    “Slywit” she said. Then she turned and left.

    Celestia actually began her life as a human in our world. Then one day she saw a shooting star land near her home. She found an orange glove with mysterious gems (she'd later call them the elements of harmony) attached to it that granted wishes.

    She created Equestria, changed herself and fled our world. Before she left she took her sister with her (who didn't quite want to leave Earth)

    I know, and I certainly expected this. There are plenty of stories on /tg/ where the Game Master has to sneak in bits of what they originally wanted. The staff has made numerous references to LotR and other similar stories, and stuck many of them into the show. But I still prefer the way the show is going now, sans the Phoenix Force. There are also plenty of stories where the Game Master ruins the game by trying to put in their own things.

    tl;dr Hasbro is right, stay with Azumanga Ponies.

    Grimdark doesn't even bother me. I treat it academically, looking for the slavery and wars and abuse and lack of hope.

    Take these two posts: >>25224219 >>25224319. This is almost standard in stories with living deities. Change it so that Celestia does care about Twilight, but she has to train her because she will have to leave Equestria, to keep her from attracting the Dark Powers (tm) to the rest of her friends and their lands. Give her a countdown timer, a certain time limit where she will die, hopefully without taking the world with her, but let her fight to make others happy. Let her be happy, if only for a passing moment.

    I was hoping for a Greek apraoch of the creation of the two goddess. For once I believe that their mother was a human you fell in love with pegasus himself.

    The love both shared brought forth the sisters, (sincein the original mythos unicorns do transform in human damsels) The sisters, upon realizing of the treacherous realization that their true father was zeus himself that raped their mother in stallion form, brought forth the final battle against the olympians by releasing the titans.

    The battle was fierces, the oceans drowned with the blood of gods and mortals alike before ending in one mightly epic battle of greek proportions.

    So "Cupcakes" has Pinky Pie as a psychotic murderer and the "the Severing" has Twilight as a cold-blooded monster.

    Are there serial-killer fics for the rest of the ponies in the works?
    We should totally complete the batch!

    Pony and fictional killer it might correspond to:

    Applejack: Leatherface
    Rarity: Tom Ripley or Jean Baptiste Grenouille
    Rainbow Dash: Patrick Bateman
    Fluttershy: ???
    Spike: ???

    So, the latest episode kinda disappointed me, but I think that's because I was comparing it to the previous episode, A bird in the Hoof, which I think was very high tier.

    After browsing through her library, Twilight learned of the great pony war and the terrible conclusion that it reached.

    In her desperation Celestia unleashed a terrible weapon, far more powerful than anything seen before. The Sonic Rainboom. It devestated the land for miles.

    When Twilight told her friend Rainbow Dash, she was devastated. She never realized the dangerous potential she had. The mere act of flying could lead to the deaths of thousands. This thought terrified both of them.

    It probably will. The show seems to be building its mythology little by little, and the Sonic Rainboom seems to be a big part of it. I never would have guessed that it was so important to the ponies destinies when we first saw it in the best young flyers episodes.

    Horses flare their nostrils as a form of expression. It's often done to express excitement. Different mares might flare for different reasons.

    It's a joke on the phrase "different strokes for different folks."

    True, it did seem like they'd seen it for the first time in that ep. But Fluttershy knew she'd done it before, so why didn't the rest of them figure that out already? It's a bit of a hitch, but not that big I suppose, different writers and all.

    Evil Magic (tm) happened. She had some emotional issues, but it was an Outside Influence that pushed her to go NMM. She may have been locked away until Celestia found out about the Friendship Flare or found a group of ponies able to cast it.

    It makes her a better sister that way, but still making her fallible and not some all knowing deity.

    Celestia and Luna were both children at the time, despite Celestia being a bit older. She probably just messed up. Failed to use the magic properly.

    And then she had to live with her failure, and her loneliness. Reminded of it every time she had to raise the moon, the moon her sister wasn't there to raise herself any more, the moon that was itself marked with the symbol of her mistake.

    For a thousand years.

    The rest of our kind will have to wait a thousand years, but I have seen them.

    I have seen The Six.

    I have seen the ones chosen by the sun, who shall redeem the moon, who are led by the evening sky.

    The Six who will be united by the Great Rainbow.

    I have seen the First Rainbow. The Loyal One, who shall bind them forever, knowing not the great wheels she sets in motion.

    I have seen the Second Rainbow. The Six, now together, watching, first in horror, then in awe, as one of their number is delivered from the brink of death.

    I have seen the Third Rainbow.

    I have seen the terrible force which it stopped. The living nightmare, finally contained forever.

    I have seen the Loyal One fall to the ground, her last task completed. She is smiling. Forever she is smiling.

    Yes, I have seen the Third Rainbow. The final rainbow.

    I have seen the day...

    Am dubious since I was the person you were making repeated excuses to before. I will assume this is a waste of my time, but maybe you actually have pulled your head out of your ass.

    Stop drawing outlines. Stop doing it. If you spend all of your time trying to draw the edges without figuring out the insides, you will likely almost always end up with awkward, out of proportion pony art.

    These are extremely stylized horses, but I will bet you money the artists could each draw a basic horse skeleton. Go take half an hour and look at horse skeletons and at least familiarize yourself with the basic shapes.

    There's a shitton of drawing guides for ponies that talk about drawing skeleton/stick figures or spheres to try and help people with poses and proportion.

    If you HAVE to look at the show and sketch from reference, dont just sketch the outsides. Sketch the circles and guidlelines and figure out why the legs look that way, how they're connected to the body, how the head is connected.

    Seriously, pay attention to to the body, not the edges. And stop drawing just the edges right now. Nip that horrible habit in the bud before you get set in it.

    I didn't like that guide. The leg skeleton is useful, but the biggest thing I got from that was to use a reference.

    With all the reaction shots, and poses throughout the show, I'm sure that there's enough references to draw whatever you want until you get it down. That's my approach so far

    Someone is telling you that something looks wrong and awkward. You're asking for people to tell you that. Fine, you followed that guide, but it still looks awkward. The fact that the guide told you to doesn't change the fact that anon thinks it looks bad.

    If you ask for critique, and people tell you something looks weird, find out why.

    Luna was one of the original embodiments of the Elements of Harmony.
    Celestia was still inexperienced with magic at the time of the conflict, and Luna was corrupting the elements.
    When Celestia used the Elements of Harmony against her sister, the elements went overboard and fixed the problem by banishing Luna.
    Luna wasn't "banished for 1000 years." If forgotten she would have been trapped on the moon forever. The four stars who helped Luna escape the moon are the four other embodiments of Harmony, sent by Celestia so they could eventually break Luna's banishment.
    Celestia remained on Equestria for the sole purpose of finding the new embodiments of Harmony, and training the embodiment of Magic to control the elements to heal Luna's heart upon her return.

    Celestia's not a heartless tyrant. She just has Batman's uber preptime and is willing to sacrifice everything to save her sister.

    Remember that Giga Drill Breaker-style technique Dash did in Winter Wrap Up? Now, at the time she had the help of a whole squadron of pegasi, but what if she were strong enough to do it on her own? The way she flies, I wouldn't doubt that she could.

    Now imagine, if you will, if she could perform her gig drill, while at the same time flying fast enough to cause a Sonic Rainboom?

    A Sonic Giga Rainboom Drill.

    Personally I found I was relying on references too much. They key is to work out how the shapes that make up the bodies interact; the show itself is mostly filled with the same limited poses and animations. It works on TV of course, but if you try to replicate it too hard it just looks like tracing.

    For future reference I don't hate RS. I don't think we've met much. I tried to ask him if he minded being in the fic, but he never got back to me. He's just the victim because the motive was there. Plus it was fun to write.

    Well, what I am trying to do with all these references is to find the basic geometry underlying these designs. I'm currently working on how the faces work, is their head oval or circular? Where do the eyes go? How should the nose be pointed? How does the hair interact with the head?

    I'm essentially copying references to answer these questions.

    rewatch ep01, they literally tell who represent which Elements. There is no Son or Moon. Also,, if she could have use it by herself she didn't bother with twilight and other ponies. Kinda obvious.

    Just a theory (coz MLP FIM universe is undeveloped at all), but I guess it was a collective decision of those 6 ponies back then. The choose banishment.

    Twilight choose freedom and forgivness.

    Celestia is just pony Palpatine. Or rather, Palpatine a thousand years after his great gambit was successful. She has had complete and undying magical control over all of creation for a thousand years, she has sort of mellowed with no one to challenge her, or even think of challenging her. She can come off as even nice. But deep within her is the heart of a scheming machiavellian, who will to do anything, and sacrifice anyone, to obtain her long term objectives.

    The trap you have to avoid is just duplicating what you see.

    Try drawing a picture without a reference first, then attempt to work out where you went wrong yourself. Then bring in a reference pic if you can't figure it out. Keep going, and eventually you should need the reference less and less.

    It's not Ravenwood, actually. He's just a treasure hunter named Garth (he's mentioned by name in the movie, but it's easy to miss.)

    The original script called for it to be Ravenwood, but it got rewritten because Spielberg didn't want too many references to the previous films.

    If you REALLY want to get technical, he was Abner right up until they had the finalized shooting script. In the film's credits he's listed as "Fedora". I always considered him Abner even before I knew he was originally intended to be though.

    I'm sure there's an alternate reality where he explicitly remained Abner, as well as one where the thrd season of Young Indy got made with a young Rene Belloq.

    If Celestia used Elements by herself first time - there shouldn't be anything to stop her from using it 2nd time.

    But she wasn't able. Explanation? Only one: the history words "she used Elements to imprison her" is just a figure of speech, pawns usually not being mentioned in the history.

    Anyway, as I said, there is no explanation why she can't use the elements and this is a contradiction.

    It wasn't vague at all. The intro stated that reluctantly, Celestia used the elements and imprisoned her sister, accompanied by an image of Celestia, by herself, shooting the rainbow beam of death at NMM. The stars were never stated to be anything other than stars, and Celestia was alone in that showdown. Any other interpretation is fanwank that chooses to simply not take what was stated at face value and make things more complicated than it is. Twilight needed her friends to bear the elements because unlike Celestia, she isn't an immortal god that steers the very sun itself.

    The fact of Twilight being sent to Equestria and making new friends that would later be the elements of hamony that would imprison Nightmare Moon led me think that Celestia had it planned all along.

    In essence, we dont fucking know anything back then.

    We know this.

    Celestia and Luna are sisters. Celestia likes Twilight and Twilight is afraid of Celestia.

    Twilight tales her life to Celestia with the aid of Spike, thus no one ever gets to read her letters than her alone. Also, if she didn´t wrote letters to Princess Celestia regarding the power of friendship, she would have to leave Equestria, by the princess order`s, and return to the palace.

    Its never stated Celestia cannot use the elements. What is stated however is that she used the elements. Funny that?

    Her reasons for not using them a second time are not considered in the series and you an make no assumptions about that based on anything in the show. Other than the fact she was imprisoned.

    In fact, I don't actually believe it. I am of the belief that the TV show about magical talking ponies is a work of fiction. It is all a matter of make believe.

    On the other hand, when it comes to the particularly and purposefully vague mythology at the beginning of episode one, it's just as easy to believe that she had five friends as it is to believe she did it all by herself.

    Celestia, an immortal god, used the "most powerful magic known to ponydom" herself.

    A unicorn, whom is neither a god nor immortal, needed help to accomplish the same feat. Its really not that hard to understand.

    The ONLY "mystery" here that one could feasibly muse over is why Celestia didn't use them herself again, what was stopping her, if anything, etc.

    This is something I've wondered about myself. So far I'm thinking that Celestia wanted to give Twilight a chance to prove herself/utilize the power of the elements of harmony, because she intended for Twilight to take over as the holder of the element of magic for some reason.

    I think the theory that Celestia is grooming Twilight for something big has quite a lot of merit. The princess is over a thousand years old now. She might be able to rule Equestria for ever, but does she WANT to?

    Celestia is indeed a classic solar deity. If the ponies work like actual equines as Faust implies (STANDARD MAMMALIAN REPRODUCTION) and endure the equine estrus cycle, she would also be a fertility goddess- as the cycle is regulated by sunlight levels.
