On a scale of Sunburst to Starlight Glimmer, how powerful is Tails’ magic?

Ooooo I love this question.

He's a young pony who's mainly book smart as he's more of an inventor with magic being a power source

However he is already pretty strong with magic even at his young age, and his cutie mark does show magic being an important side to his special talent.

For now I'd say he leans more on the sunburst side of the scale but when he's older he'll be WAAAY more on the Starlight side

All equestria's gems are hers!!!

Does Buckles occasionally speak in rhyme like Zecora?

Yep!

He mainly speaks like everypony else for the most part (he's been on the road most his life and is more used to how the ponies talk)

However, on occasion he'll rhyme ethier when extremely emotional or just unknowingly (and he loves to bring out that skill in rap battles lol)

KNOCK KNOCK! I'm sorry for the wait but I finally got time for another pony design! Enjoy

Will there be any ships in this au?

Gotten this kind of question a couple times.

Truth is it'll really depend. On one hand I LOVE ships and I especially love the concept of even cross shipping characters since there's so many personalities to mix here. but overall shipping is not a main focus and I doubt I'd make any fundamentally canon to the AU.

I definitely will make ship art, but I'll most likely tag it all as non-canon. I want everybody to enjoy the AU and some people don't like particular ships or shipping at all, and I think that's fair.

as for the ships I will draw; well it'll just depend on what catches my eye. (that's the fun of multi-shipping)

[friendship-got-faster]

haiiii can i make fan designs for guys that i'm definitely not obsessed with :3X

I mean if you really want to that's fine, it's not like I own the idea of sonic ponies lol

Designs that are canon to the AU however are going to be made by me, even if it takes me a bit to draw everypony.

Still totally knock yourself out, I heavily encourage anypony to have fun with this concept, that's what's important to me

Does sonic know the mane 6?

This is a great question!

Sonic ofc knows about the mane 6; I mean, doesn't everypony? But he's really only a friendly acquaintance of most the girls.

since he doesn't live in ponyvill due to constantly traveling (and has his own rocking set of friends) he doesn't find much time to hang with them. Especially when both sets of ponies are usually busy with adventures.

He does like to stop by in ponyvill every once and awhile, and has even bumped into the girls during his travels.

for instance, during a trip in Canterlot he offered to deliver some dresses for Rarity in exchange for fixing a hole in his scarf free of charge (that pony does not keep bits on him.) I think Rarity would have fixed it regardless, she is very generous like that, but sonic loves to take any opportunity to test his speed.

However, out of all the mane 6 I'd say he's closest with Rainbow dash! They meant during an event in cloudsdale and ended up having a blast racing each other, and often make time to race again if they're in the same area. After all, It's not often dash meets another pony who can really keep up with her.

Thanks for the question!

[friendship-got-faster]

PHEW the questions just keep coming, keeping up will be tougher then I thought. I'm going to try to draw/answer some of the ones received this week.

However I feel a need to state, that for some of you, I don't believe I can answer at all. ethier I've already discussed it, or simple don't know how to go about the question.

I'm sorry if thats disappointing, I do want to make sure you-all get the most out of the au, but do rest assured that I appreciated it regardless, everypony has been absolutely wonderful and respectful, and I'm incredibly greatful for that!

[friendship-got-faster]

I've posted the master list for the names! It's pinned and ready to be reviewed by you-all! and there's a lot of you now to my surprise, thank you for all the follows today!

Do keep up the questions (and let me know if you have any name ideas for characters yet to be included) stay tuned everypony! 🌟

[friendship-got-faster]

Decided the ponies of the AU need some alternative names better fit for the world of Equestria!

(and so they they can bs properly identified separately from the original sonic cast)

Here's a master list of all the names for everypony:

• Ponies

– Sonic Boom (Sonic)

– Twisty Tails (Tails)

– Ace Rose ("Ace") (Amy)

– Creme brulee ("Creme") (Cream)

– Bulky Catch ("Bulk") (Big)

– Mareroon ("Roon") (Rouge) batpony

– Shadow Sparks (Shadow)

– Silver stardust (Silver)

• Other Creatures

– Buckles ("Bucks") (Knuckles) Zebra

– Tenochtitlan ("Teno") (Tikal) Zebra

– Blazing Aster (Blaze) Kirin

– Mareef (Marine) Hippogriff

– Espionage (Espio) Dragon

– Scorcher (Vector) Dragon

– Hamuli (Charmy) Changeling

• Machines

– Timber Omega (T-123 Omega) (Omega)

– Metal Boom (Metal Sonic)

(this list will be updated if I think of any additional characters I'd like to include )

╰┈➤ Tags––––––––––

Some character are still referred to by there original name, so for tags I'll be using

The original name of that Character (e.g. Amy)

The original, fullname (e.g. Amy Rose)

The AU name (e.g. Ace Rose)

→ Explaining the nameing ––––––––––

• Ace Rose ––––––––––

→ Card pun

• Creme Brulee ––––––––––

→ Creme Brulee is a type of dessert which primarily uses cream!

• Bulky Catch ––––––––––

→ a play on his size but a hint to his love of fishing! (and because he quite the catch himself, we love big in these parts)

• Mareroon ––––––––––

→ since "Rouge" is a color, I decided to pick another color as the alternative name. Maroon not only works for the pun, but is also a color associated with bl*od, which felt appropriate for a bat pony

• Shadow Sparks ––––––––––

→ he's a dark figure, illuminated only by the sparks of his own magic

• Buckles ––––––––––

→ Horses (or Zebras in this case) don't have hands, so they don't have Knuckles, so they can't punch. Horses do however, have hooves, and can kick, this Buckles, Bucks!

• Tenochtitlan ––––––––––

→ Tikal is named after a temple, so I figured her AU name should be named after a temple in Equestria, and I landed on the Tenochtitlan temple, not much is actually known for this temple in universe, so writing will be required.

• Blazing Aster ––––––––––

→ the Kirin have plant/nature related names. Aster is a kind of purple flower so I figured it fit best!

• Mareef ––––––––––

→ "Marine" is in reference to general Ocean life, which is very prominent in Coral Reefs.

• Espionage ––––––––––

→ Dragons usually have short names that list off a specific trait, Espio is short of espionage which refers to spying

• Scorcher ––––––––––

→ A hint at his fire breath (or fire tunes if you'd like)

• Hamuli ––––––––––

→ the changelings tend to have names that reference bug anatomy or topics, "Hamuli" are a structure found on honeybee wings.

• Timber Omega ––––––––––

→ Omega is a term used for wolf rankings in some cases, so perhaps it's used for Timberwolves as well! Omegas design will reflect that aspect as well as what powers him

All your designs are so cute!! I'd love to know your plans for Silver and Knuckles both story wise and design wise

Also is fanart allowed with proper au credit?

First off: thank you!

Secondly: I have yet to work on the full stories for Knuckles and Silver, but believe me it's on the list (Knuckles should be next if I'm not too busy this next week)

I want to portray a lot of the stories through art and maybe comics so it's more of a wait and see situation for everybody!

Thirdly: fanart is absolutely allowed! Just remember to use a tag or two so I can find it, I'd love to see it!

[friendship-got-faster]

Thank you to anyone who's already gone and submitted some questions! Some of these would be answered best with art and others I just need some time to write out.

Stay tuned everybody I hope to answer soon!

[friendship-got-faster]

Ok, really crazy idea but it would be cool: Shadow, just like in the original, was made, but more in the sense of equestria girls?

Gerald somehow gained access to the pony's magic and tried to create something capable of curing Maria's illness, things went wrong (because it always has to go wrong) and he ends up being ejected through a portal that the doctor had forcibly kept open to extract magic and then: BAM! A pony in a world of ponies who doesn't know what it's like to live among ponies in Sunset Shimer style but in reverse.

Oh, and I don't know why, but I can see Knucles and Tikal being Kirins.

I honestly had a couple working ideas for Shadow but this one is by far the most interesting suggestion I've gotten and already fits well for other ideas I had in the works

Thank you so much for such a detailed concept, I'll definitely have to keep notes on it!

(also for Knuckles and Tikal I plan to make them Zebras! and Blaze a Kirin)

[friendship-got-faster]

I wonder who the princesses would be!! Would there be?? So many QUESTIONS!! I’m excited to see more!!

Imagine Shadow as Zekora omg..

The original princesses of G4 (Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight etc..) are all still there.

As for additional alicorns well.. you'll just have to wait and find out...

[friendship-got-faster]

Anybody care for some little ponies?

Made the sonic one a couple days ago and ended up loving it, so now there's a tails and Amy to match, making an AU I suppose. Enjoy!

Edit: realized an AU needs a name, I've decided on

"MLP: Friendship got Faster"

[friendship-got-faster]

I LOVE YOUR ART! I LOVE SONIC AND FRIENDS! AND I LOVE MLP! AND THIS IS THE BEST COMBO I EVER WANT TO SEE!- oops sorry for the caps lol

Also, would there be any lore for this au?

First off, THANK YOU!!!

Secondly, for lore, I don't plan to change any of the fundamentals of the G4 universe (that's the gen I'm working off of as I'm most familiar with it)

there will however be additional lore specifically for the new ponies (the sonic characters) as characters like Shadow or Tikal are built off of their backstories. plus it will be fun to work around the rules of the MLP universe in order to recreate iconic stories.

[friendship-got-faster]

Could we please get a pony Shadow and Maria or a pony Tikal? They've always been my favorites. ❤️🌻

Thank you for sharing your work! It's a straight shot of serotonin getting to see my two childhood faves blended together!

I plan to make designs for as many characters as I can! Shadow, Tikal, Maria (and Gerald) are all on the list. They'll take a small bit to get here while I work out background details and how their backstories would translate into the world of mlp!

(and thank YOU for the lovely question, very lucky your childhood faves are my current obsessions faves)
