anypony that sees this please tell me what your favourite mlp episode is 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[ifwebefriends]

I love how I just decided to watch Filli Vanilli on a whim and the whole moral of the episode is “fear may prevent you from doing things you love but you should face your fears and it may not be as bad as you though it would be” like, I just got back into drawing and I guess my subconscious decided I needed to hear that message

[brainbaring]

The consistent occurrence of pinkie saying something or behaving eccentric and the other main six reacting like "ermmm ooookayyy??? 🤨" Or ignoring him has always annoyed me. You'd think a best friend group who are literal platonic soulmates would find one of them just being himself endearing more often than not

Smiling Critters: Non Lore-Heavy Headcanons!

This is just what I personally think they'd be like in my AU, if you guys have different interpretations, that's fine!

(I could also do scenarios based on the headcanons too if you guys wish! )

Reference post for characters if needed: https://www.tumblr.com/mayflowers515/743811211445010432/smiling-critters-in-gacha-life-2?source=share

Kickin would 100% call his friends a specific nickname. It's his way of approving that they're cool to him. He barely calls them by their actual name unless the situation is serious. Here is what he'd call everyone:

Bubba = Nerd (in the most affectionate way possible here); Can also imagine Kickin calling him sir or mister sometimes

Bobby = Beary or BB (may or may not be based off of content I've seen with these nicknames for her-)

Hoppy = Hopscotch (calls her by last name because he thinks it's cool already; Hoppy would use that logic against him and call him Chicken occasionally); He also likes to call her Hops for short

CatNap = Sleepyhead, Sleeping Beauty

DogDay = Mr. Brightside, DD

Crafty = Princess (that would probably freak Crafty out since she thinks he knows of her status; in reality, he calls her this because of her vibes, especially after a certain scenario I have planned for her)

Picky = Piggy (doesn't really have any other idea for a nickname, but he wants to come up with one that sounds "more cool"; tried this by calling her PP, but didn't realize how bad it was until the first and only time he used it for her)

Kickin would call himself KC, since y'know, he wants everyone to know he's cool, too! (credits to mr. story for the idea)

2. Crafty has a very good singing voice. She doesn't show it off for a couple reasons though:

Because she's a little shy about showing it off in the first place

Doesn't want to overpower her friends if they sing together

She's worried her friends will find a way to link her voice to her background (will discuss more in a future post)

(Based off a voice canon video I saw for her where her singing voice was based off of Fluttershy's from "Filli Vanilli")

3. When Picky isn't cooking or eating, she likes to dance and tend to her personal garden. It's filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, but she also has some flowers and shrubs, too! She likes to use products from her garden for her cooking sometimes.

4. CatNap's house smells like all kinds of specific essential oils. He is the one who uses them the most of the Critters, which helps set the atmosphere for his calming home.

5. I already mentioned before that Crafty can never keep her clothes clean for the whole day. But she really likes her overall dresses, so she keeps a lot of the same ones just in case one of them gets too messy.

6. Kickin is great with comebacks and wordplay. Even in the toughest of situations, he usually pieces together slick phrases. The only exceptions are if he were to start like-liking someone or if he had an idol he admired. He'd get more nervous and fumble his words by that point.

7. Here is what I like to think the Critters want to be when they become adults (they're still children in this AU):

CatNap (counselor; something to do with aromatherapy too most likely)

DogDay (doesn't know; he hasn't thought about it)

Bobby (nurse or maybe a therapist)

Crafty (artist of course; may be more inclined to be a painter)

Kickin (journalist or reporter?; I can see him commentating on things like sports and current events lol)

Hoppy (soccer player or coach)

Bubba (professor, but not sure of which subject rn)

Picky (chef, no surprise there. She wishes to run her own restaurant someday)

8. Inspired by some comics, but CatNap's tail can extend to really long lengths. His friends use this as an advantage to drag him along or hold onto him when he's not aware of his surroundings or he's asleep. His tail can only extend to so long though (maybe four-five feet?) so eventually it can get pulled. He doesn't like that. His friends realize this the hard way, and from that point forward, they tend to drag him along their adventures in a wagon. Typically DogDay is the one to watch over the wagon.

9. In contrast to CatNap, DogDay is much more nervous during the nighttime. He tries to hide this to not worry his friends, but they can usually see through him. He doesn't exactly get the best sleep all the time, yet he still manages to operate smoothly for his friends (maybe through coffee? I can see him drinking that-)

10. Possible fears of all the Critters

Bobby (being alone and abandoned, canon; can also see her fearing bugs too, but she can't bring herself to kill them since she loves and values all life regardless)

Picky (sickness, a part of this plays into her need to stick to a healthy lifestyle, and she stresses out whenever she feels she made too many unhealthy choices; she also hates being sick because then she can't provide for her friends)

Kickin (sudden noise and heights; he would try to hide this to keep his cool image, so he brushes off his fears so others can't see it from the outside. However, on the inside and sometimes more obviously the outside, he is TERRIFIED)

Bubba (failing his friends and leading them down the wrong direction; tries to prevent this from happening by being as well-informed on as many topics as he can think)

DogDay (the dark; he always needs a nightlight in his room so he can go to sleep better)

CatNap (his second scent; more elaboration on that sometime soon but if you know what I'm referring to, you know...; can also seem him fearing water a little since y'know, cat behavior-)

Hoppy (needles; I just don't see her holding up well at the doctor's personally-)

Crafty (public audience; she can only handle so many people watching her at once until she feels she needs to get out)

11. People would expect Bubba and Crafty to constantly be at odds due to their different thinking approaches (left brain + right brain), but they actually get along quite well! They may have a couple disagreements, but otherwise they are usually open to what the other is saying. Basically, an "I want what you have" kind of situation but downplayed. Mainly since Bubba isn't as good with thinking outside of the box meanwhile Crafty isn't the most book smart. They would bounce off each other well. They would work well together when it comes to devising plans with their friends. Bubba would explain the plan while Crafty sketches the plan's details.

12. Crafty can draw at fast speeds, but she can't draw anything super detailed. Still, she is surprised herself that it doesn't look too bad when she rushed it.

13. Speaking of speed, Hoppy can, in addition to moving fast, speak fast and somehow still remember what she says. When others don't process what she says, she would be a bit more annoyed and say it slower. She doesn't speak fast often, only in situations where she is really enthusiastic or she's in a panic.

14. In terms of their more animal-like qualities, DogDay is the most expressive of the Critters. He wags his tail and raises his ears a lot depending on the circumstance.

15. Bobby can have very bad anxiety in stressful situations. Worse case scenario, she may even just ball up and become unresponsive to stimuli.

16. PB&Js are still Picky's favorite food, but she eats them in moderation when she's felt good on what she ate for the rest of the day. She will refuse to eat them when she's stressed or if she gets sick. She gets like this with any unhealthy food in general actually, just more inclined to do it with PB&Js.

17. (Based on that road trip image of them) They're all kids, but in their world, they're able to drive. Still, there are some Critters you should trust behind the wheel more than others:

Bubba (not only would he be safe on the road, but his great memory basically makes him a walking GPS, assuring an instant trip to their destination without getting lost; despite this, it's usually #2 who drives more because he's usually tasked as the voice of reason to make sure no one riots while someone is behind the wheel; he also slightly manages his memory better when he isn't multitasking)

DogDay (is usually the one that drives everyone when they're out on road trips. He is generally very calm behind the wheel and will encourage others on the way to wherever they're going, so he's also considered fun to have as the driver by his friends)

Picky and Bobby (tied; both would do just fine behind the wheel and would both be careful of the cars around them and the passengers in the car; would give Picky the edge here though since she doesn't have to raise her seat as much just to drive compared to Bobby)

Kickin (would care more about looking cool on the road than actually driving well. When he isn't focused on his ego, he doesn't drive too badly. He may have a slight bit of road rage, though)

CatNap (he would be better during night time trips as he is more active then, but even then it wouldn't happen often since driving can get stressful. Also, at any other time besides night, he runs the risk of sleeping on the spot even while driving, so no, please don't let him drive…) (ngl, him and #7 could be interchangeable here; both have drawbacks whenever they're behind the wheel-)

Crafty (she's pretty mediocre when it comes to driving. Her mind usually spirals in a panic whenever she's behind the wheel, and she'd focus more on the panic of driving at all than actually driving, so for her sanity, don't let her drive...)

Hoppy (never, EVER have her behind the wheel. The car will crash and burn in seconds... She can get really impulsive when it comes to driving and I can imagine her having some bad road rage; the Critters let her drive once after she pleaded with them so many times; probably in a situation where for some reason DogDay and/or Bubba couldn't do it. She led them in a ditch, crashing into someone's party down below, unintentionally of course. Everyone was okay, but they never let her drive again after that)

18. In addition to wanting to be the cool friend, I can also imagine Kickin wanting to joke around and make his friends laugh from time to time. He also pulls harmless pranks sometimes (sometimes he is unaware how his pranks potentially hurt others until it's too late though-)

19. Bobby has a really big sweet tooth. Especially when it comes to chocolate. Also, if anyone were to give her a chocolate heart, she would melt in their arms on the spot (doesn't matter if the intention is platonic or romantic, she just loves receiving chocolates, especially the hearts)

20. Hoppy would have the most game equipment of her friends. She has equipment that ranges across all kinds of sports as well as other physical activities.

21. If Crafty was given sidewalk chalk and there was pavement outside of her friends' houses (though I don't think this is the case in canon sadly), she would use it to draw something outside her friends' houses as a way to show appreciation.

22. Bubba would have his own mini library inside his house will all different genres of books. The books of this library are books he collected that were from his family's or from what he found when they were out and about. He occasionally lets his friends borrow books from him if they need to.

23. The Critters are vegan. Things like burgers and milk come from other sources for them. So no worries, in this version, the burger Picky was about to eat in the intro was sourced from plants (she wouldn't actually eat animals... right? *cough cough* canon version... *cough)

24. CatNap would be the best at telling spooky stories. He already has a naturally quiet voice. All he'd need to do to make it sound more spoopy for his friends is give it a creepy tone, and already that makes him a good scary storyteller...

25. DogDay doesn't really make his own food often, but he actually does like baking more than people give him credit for. His favorite thing to bake is cookies (especially ones that look like dog treats!)

26. This meme explained for Critters:

"We have food at home" - Bubba, Picky

"MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!" - Hoppy, DogDay, Kickin, Bobby

In between these two sections: Crafty (depends on her mood)

*Pulls into the drive through as children cheer* *Orders a single black coffee and leaves* - CatNap (not meaning to be rude, but just doesn't want to put up with ordering for everyone so he orders for him; he's too tired for that ok?*

27. CatNap has the worst reaction time and is the most clumsy of the Critters. It's literally canon that the guy trips on his own tail. That HAS to be a thing here. It just has to.

28. This may come as a surprise, but CatNap actually does like drinking coffee, except he mainly has it at nighttime so he can stay up and help people in need of assistance at nighttime; he puts a lot of creamer and milk in his coffee, though- He doesn't like black cofffee (I imagine in the McDonalds meme he takes the coffee home with him and prepares it with his usual creamer and milk)

Welp, this is pretty long and scrambled. Sorry if some characters have more headcanons than others. If I think of other hcs I can update this! I do actually have more I'd like to share sometime, but the ones I'm thinking about are more lore-heavy for the characters so I'll put that in a separate post :)

[dapper-lil-arts]

I really wish we had gotten more episodes centered around Rarity and Fluttershy. Their friendship is so important to me. Green Isn't your Color and Filli Vanilli are some of my favorite episodes!

I do find it very funny that Fluttershy makes for the perfect model, and Rarity is just like "okay darling get your fine rump on the catwalk, no butts no coconuts, no whining" Its a pretty funny dynamic.

[chaifootsteps]

I forgot how insensitive pinkie pie could be

Like in the nightmare night episode she consistently made Luna feel bad and never apologized for it.

Or in filli vanilli when fluttershy was too nervous to go on stage and then pinkie made it worse?

And it’s always treated like she’s just being “quirky”

The only reason I dislike Pinkie Pie slightly less than Fluttershy and Applejack is that the show always seemed (to me anyway) to be slightly more aware of how much she sucks. She just vomits whatever thought comes into her head and does whatever she wants and is only occasionally regretful of it, and that's just who Pinkie Pie is.

But I agree, it's super grating. I don't think it comes from a place of meanness, but it doesn't matter, she's consistently an asshole to people. The Cranky episode was the clincher for me.

[blu3b3rryj4mp1r3]

hii :) I'm currently sick, so I thought I'd rewatch a mlp episode to cheer myself up but I can't decide on one ^^; what do you think?

[snapscube]

“Pinkie Pie is the best pony!” “Pinkie Pie is the worst pony!” What is the truth, ma’am?

You did not read what I said! She is the worst pony in Filli Vanilli. She is the best everywhere else. It's as simple as that.

[punkitt-is-here]

as someone who was hardcore, full-on deep in the brony sauce circa 2012-2014, and stopped watching the show around mid S4 because I didn't like the direction it was going, how are you finding the later seasons? is it worth going back to?

I'm literally mid season 4, haha! Aside from Daring Don't or whatever that episode was called I actually think Season 4 hits some of the highest highs of the series. I've been really really enjoying my time with it so far! I'll probably finish S4 in march when im not working on my film.

I kind of view Daring Don't as the Arendale KHIII of MLP Season 4, in that it is one horrendously dogshit episode as the tradeoff for a ton of bangers. Stuff like Pinkie Apple Pie and Filli Vanilli and Three's A Crowd are some of my favorite episodes yet. I understand why it not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm sitting here slurping that shit up

Friendship is retred; A bunch of fluffy headcanons about if I ran the Friendship is Magic show.

I can't say/speak much about all I'd do for FiM seasons 4-9 (and by extension gen 5) if I were incharge. I only know this:

Twilight Sparkle DOESN'T change into an alicorn princess until the end of season 7; she graduates from Celestia's underling in season 3 and the big 'life in Equestria' number that ends that season has Twilight being crowned the minister of friendship.

The CMC still become friends with Diamond Tiara but they DON'T get their own cutie marks till season 7, right before Twilight's princess-ing.

Season 7 happens AFTER the events of the movie.

Cadence and Flurry Heart are not alicorns. Flurry is born an alicorn by fluke at the beginning of season 6 but she's 'cured' and becomes a pegasus like her mother, Cadence.

Starlight is still able to perform magic (or rather, use other people's magic skills to her advantage) but her whole thing is that she doesn't have nor ever earn a cutie mark throughout the show and she comes to terms with being happy about that. Her realizing this with the CMC's help is what gives the CMC their cutie marks.

Sombra and Stygian are the same character.

NO Starswirl and his pals especially not timetraveling. They were guardians of harmony but they never became true friends and they're the reason Stygian/Sombra turned out the way he did.

Twilight's reeling Stygian out of the pony of shadows, undoing the damage Starswirl did, is what leads to her becoming an alicorn.

Celestia took on Tirek+Scorpan and Sombra by herself; Luna was still stuck in the moon and Tirek's imprisonment and the Crystal Empire's fall did NOT happen exactly 1,000 years ago. Because she had to do so with just elements by her side and not her sister is why she was not powerful enough but the Mane 6 are- also shows you just how busy sunhorse is.

Season 4 is basically Discord's season. All the Discord-centric episodes in s5, 6 and so on happen in season 4, replacing the pointlessness that is 'Three's a Crowd'. Discord appears in all of the mane six's (sans Fluttershy's) 'key' episodes where he taunts them just like he did in his debut. He appears though in 'Filli Vanilli' taking Pinkie's role from that episode being toxiclly supportive of his 'one friend', which fits more with Discord's character than it does Pinkie. This is important because...

...in the finale of s4, Discord does his betrayal of the ponies but then gets backstabbed by Tirek and looses his draconequus powers; which he never gets back for the rest of the show.

The season 4 finale has Luna and Celestia transfer their magic/essence into the tree of harmony for safe keeping, not into Twilight. Celestia sent Discord to ponyville to help the pones and he does eventually do so by aiding them in defeating Tirek, but not before his betrayal. Really play back and forth with the audience if Discord truly is a friend to Fluttershy or to anybody else (spoilers, he is).

Season 8 and the school of magic begins with a timeskip- where the now older CMC and Twilight welcoming in the Young Six, who include Flurry Heart.

Cozy Glow is just Queen Chrysalis, come in to disrupt the youth of Equestria and end the woke-isms after they took away her power over the changelings.

Oh yeah also Thorax and the reformed changelings look like this and their true form is deerbugbirds, not over designed bug ponies.

This one's probably the darkest-- In the final season, Celestia is growing weaker and weaker and her and Luna's final act for their people is sacrificing themselves to buy Twilight sum time. Same with Discord; he and Starlight team up to trick Tirek and Chrysalis and Discord dies for his sins. IT'S OKAY THO-

-Celestia and Luna come back as their pre alicorn-selves; Discord comes back as a worm-thing which Fluttershy adopts as one of her pets...okay maybe I'll change that I swear I genuinely did not want to kill Fluttercord as a possibility...either way Discord comes back and Shy's happy.

Yes, there is an implication now that Twilight will be the only alicorn and have to eventually live without her friends. I'm going ahead with one of Faust's earlier ideas that Twilight would become Celestia's successor. Instead of being forlorn about this though, Twilight aims to look to the horizon.

oh and, since gen 5 is a sequel- that generation is called "My Little Pony and Friends" and Sunny and Scout are the only two ponies of the main group. The rest of the characters are yaks, deer, dragons. If we can't beat Them's Fightin Herds, then we shall become Them's Fightin Herds! Literally every kid wanted a more diverse pony horse range in their lives which is what made My Little Pony Friends and the Carebear Cousins so popular all these years later.

Absolutely no Dislestia though. This is a rewrite of what the show should* be not what I want it to be-- Celestia and Discord were always a crack pairing after my heart. Maybe they can star in one of the non-canon mlp comics. I would however have them interact more with Celestia hardcore shipping Fluttercord platonically and more.

Oh and more but also less Luna. Have her not make as many appearances before the pony public; that was and still is Celestia's job as an alicorn and Luna is not a social butterfly. She's got dreams to watchover and be her own stoic self.

LAST AND VERY IMPORTANTLY -the gen 5 ponies don't have those creepy Elsa faces. I know a lot of horse-people are angry at gen 4 for how they drew ponies, but I take that look to the monstrosity that is the new pony artstyle.

That's all. Maybe this is the continuity of an alt. timelines Friendship is Magic series. We can't visit that timeline though because Rick Sanchez ruined it for us and we're currently being killed by aliens.
