Title: Ideas from /mlp/ Author: RbDosh Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/iVnFHQG3 First Edit: Monday 27th of May 2013 06:59:37 AM CDT Last Edit: Monday 27th of May 2013 06:59:37 AM CDT WHAT /mlp/ wants: ======================= Rarity vs. the Giant Crab! An awesome project that will be action filled and intense!   We could make a pony western RPG?   Luna and Celestia go on an adventure.   Twilight and spike's early days in canterlot would be a alright episode. Maybe have it being a kind of flashback episode with twilight telling her friends why spike's spending the pony equivalent of mothers day in canterlot. Blah blah blah, spike spends the day with celestia and twilight tells the story of how spike decided to become her assistant.   I'd like it to be a plain adventure episode. Lots of fun and action. No forced feels, no grimdark, no OC's or autism, not even character development. And a decent story is a given.   http://pastebin.com/Gys9yjQs [more rarara vs crab]   [epp ideas] Got adventure episodes in mind, but I'll just throw in a few SoL ones. Nothing detailed, just outlines long cooking in my head.   >Rainbow Dash rebuilds her cloud house after a mishap by the local weather team   >Applejack's parents briefly visit after conducting a long scouting expedition around the (massive) Everfree Forest   >Applejack and Fluttershy fall into a tunnel network of talking moles as they explore a newly discovered grotto   >Applejack and Big Mac discover a mysterious chest planted underneath a recently pulled tree stump as they clear land to expand Sweet Apple; contains antique manuscripts documenting magical properties of the land immediately around the stump. Argument ensues between the two, Applebloom and Granny Smith on how to proceed.   >Pinkie Pie finds her father in bed from a mild illness at the Ponyville Hospital while she entertains foal patients; decides to revisit family homestead after he recovers   >Pinkie Pie and Applejack butt heads when they compete against each other at a Manehattan food convention.   >Fluttershy races against the clock to gather up ingredients for a disease Angel has contracted from the Everfree Forest. Features Zecora.   >Rarity obsesses over earning the last batch of money so she can invest in opening a new shop in Canterlot; damages Carousel Boutique in a fire in the process.   >Mane 6 investigates the mysterious draining of several local Ponyville lakes in the midst of a hot summer.   >Twilight combs through the Canterlot archives for specialized books; stumbles across long-forgotten research papers on dragons that lead to flashbacks. Features Celestia.   >Twilight helps Spike lead a more organized quest to trace Spike's root.   this image actually gives me a great idea. 3 projects. Two show length, one mini. Lets make a short to replace the Last Roundup intro which extends and uses the cut content, refines what's there, and puts Derpy's name back in. I have no doubt that would be replacing the original intro in at least a few streams if done. (plus it opens up the possibility of confusing the shit out of first timers, whom can then be fooled into thinking this is the original unedited version, as well as the possibility of a worker drone anon being in a position to sneak this into syndication.) I think the undertaking and completion of such a project would clear out a lot of bad air, after which if ambition is still high, can be extrapolated to editing and fixing MMC to not be such a colossal fuckup. Think of it as analogous to fan input being required to fix Bethesda's colossal fuckups. My only two criterions for the intro are just that "ARE YOU OKAY RAINBOW DAAAASH?" must remain untouched, and either we leave the derpy line as originally stated, or, if the scene's timing has been changed too much, include a scene where Rainbow is about to say her 'real name' but she's like 'naw jes' call meh derpeh!"   "Journey to Midnight Castle" Takes place between seasons 2 and 3, Twilight sparkle gets a letter from Celestia, saying a mysterious field has opened under the castle grounds (were Cadance and Twilight were held. She goes in, and gets disoriented after seeing a big flash of light. After that, she sees fluttershy and asks where she is. Fluttershy says "Are you talking to me? My name isn't fluttershy, you musy have me confused with someone else" or something like that. "Is that you twilight? Why did you dye your Mane, we have a crisis on our hooves." Twilight tells her nothing's changed, and then yells "WHERE ARE YOUR WINGS FLUTTERSHY? Discord!" "Fluttershy" looks quizzically and asks "Oh my twilight, that bump must have justled you. I'm Posey, remember? (Not G1, just world based on it, with no humans, etc)   GUYS WHY DON'T WE DO AN EPISODE WHERE CELESTIA SENDS TWILIGHT TO MASTER HER OWN SUBCONSCIOUS SHE GOES TO AN ANCIENT MONASTERY FILLED WITH PSEUDO-TIBETAN MONK-PONIES AND SHE MAKES A TULPA, AND IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL AND HIJACKS HER MAGIC AND SHE HAS TO DEFEAT IT HOW ABOUT THAT     did anyone see this one simpsons episode were it shows the same day from a different characters point of view? but each thing the one character does some how effects another one which leads to a larger central incident?   How about this? How about we figure out what we want to do with episode? I think it should have some changes from the show to feel unique while containing a lot of things we like (characters, fantasy setting, light-hearted humour or fantasy battles) while having a change to make it unique.   How about an episode structured like the show but taking place several years later? (Maybe this is the result of Arrested Development season 4)   Something folks seem to be shying away from that I think we should look into is using OCs >inb4 le red-and-black>inb4 le edgedark>inb4 le Snowdrop sadness porn If we did that, we'd have to do them right, but they give us the advantages of: 1. Anyone can be VA 2. Hasjew can't touch us 3. Expand beyond the boundaries of figuring out how to make the Mane 6 work in a story It's tough to do it right, but it's worth considering if we can make it work   Berry New Again http://pastebin.com/Q14Fjbd9 Story Full   NAvarone gave to me a while back is that Scootaloo tried her hand at drawing clop. Twilight bitches at her for not getting the genitals right for other  mythical creatures. [thanks Nav, hue.]   something with Cadance and Shining Armor as the main characters   Regarding the two-pony episode, unless you count SCS600, thre hasn't been any AJ and AB.   No TS and RD PP and AJ...   Uh, we could do a two-pony character study like Green Isn't Your Color or Look before You Sleep or Sleepless in Ponyville or Fallweather Friends Let's think of pairs that haven't been done before. Griffon the Brush Off: PP&RD Look Before You Sleep: R&AJ Fall Weather Friends: RD&AJ Feeling Pinkie Keen: TS&PP Green Isn't Your Color: R&FS Sisterhooves Social: R&SB Family Appreciation Day:AB&GS Hurricane Fluttershy: RD&FS Sleepless in Ponyville:RD&SC Hell, we could even try to throw Silver Spoon onto the bus. She's always been a little less cruel than DT. She might be kind of following like a lost puppy. Sort of like Babs.   fetus sex you should include dat shit in your animation
