Why couldn't you stylize Applejack? She's probably one of the more realistically colored ponies on the show.

It would be easy enough to do something cool. Perhaps show her carting a few carts of apples while looking out over an untouched orchard as the sun sets in the background.

Give Luna heaps of pointy armor plated with gold, glowing pink eyes,a dark background of space, and everypony running around in terror

Going through the second pony thread in search of forumites' stories and art (currently on page 130 of 170), I'm finding a lot of very good pics and stories.
This, however, is probably one of the best I've found. It's a pretty huge picture, but not very long.

My current Applejack idea is her having a high noon showdown in Apploosa with some bandits. A tumbleweed will, of course, be blowing across the center of the picture.

The Luna idea was having one half of the picture be serene and calm (normal, small luna), and the other half being violent and scary (nightmare moon). A "two sides of the same coin" thing. Don't think I'll include her new, halfway-between-the-two design if I do that.

The high-noon showdown would be interesting. The issue is the weapon, of course, they're either fighting melee or using some kind of modified pistol that they can use.

Or just normal revolvers since it's a drawing and you don't owe anyone anything.

[kaijyuu]

It'd be implied to be a fist (hoof?) fight, actually.


If I wanted projectiles it'd be pies, heh.

Not going to argue with her being the most normal looking.  I guess it just depends on exactly what sort of effect you're going for.  When I read Luna, I immediately pictured something dark and surreal, which most people would just picture as a strange black pegasus thing and not really My Little Pony related.  That's more difficult to do with Applejack, at least from my perspective.

That's of course assuming that you wanted to make it non obvious that it's My Little Pony.  If it that's not the goal, then it's a pretty moot point.  Reading kaijyuu's post, I'm going to assume that it wasn't the goal, so you can safely disregard my rambling up to this point.

I quite like how the Luna scene sounds, but I've always been a softy for the sorts of messages that carries.  The Applejack idea doesn't sound bad either, but how does a high noon showdown work without a revolver by your side? 

[TheBronzePickle]

For some reason I just thought up Pinkie Pie using one of the gag revolvers that 'shoots' a flag with BANG! written on it.

Anyway, Telgin's right. It's just not a high-noon showdown without some kind of weapon to draw.

[Drago55577]

draw this

All right, I gave it a shot and watched it. Sorry guys - it was nice, certainly not as bad as I'd originally thought it would be, but still not exactly my thing. Much thanks anyway, though. Now at least I won't look like quite so much of an idiot the next time somebody starts talking about it.

[MC Dirty]

I've just read My Little Dashie.
I swear, I'm crying like a little baby over here.

[Flying Dice]

I think he means the one from Dragon Ball. Maybe.

Yes.

Parents should accept the fact you happen to like a show based around ponies. Other people can go shove it.

My mom gave me the expected expression when I mentioned it, but hasn't really said much about it.  I'm not sure my dad knows, but I doubt he'd care that much.  Unfortunately, they don't get The Hub, so I can't demonstrate how awesome the cartoon is.  Not that they'd really care though.

I mentioned it to mine in passing, and actually got my mother hooked on it. For the record, I also got my painter/guitarist father hooked on xkcd, so it is probably more them being very openminded progressives with parents and grandparents who were neck deep in the civil rights movement, union organizing, and the art worlds respectively rather than me being a profound master of debate.


 In other words, I lucked out in character creation and got parents who only took flaws in Employment: City Government and Addiction: Tobacco respectively, rather than Emotional Outbursts: Child Beating or Addiction: Crystal Meth.

Thanks for having the courage to try!

Agreed, it was the first thing in a while that made my cry.

Cue Dsarker(IIRC) coming in here and stomping all over your emotions because he didn't think it was sad. 

[Drago55577]

i couldnt find that! i found a pic for it.

[Fniff]

I thought it was sad enough.

So I thought up a fanfic for it.

Spoiler: Don't worry, it's not grimdark (click to show/hide)

Rainbow Dash wakes up in a bit of a situation. For one thing, she has been taken from her father. For another, she just accidentally murdered one of her former friends in a black-out caused by the new memory implant, that is making her insane for short periods of time. Now, she has to deal with being hunted down by the Royal Guard, her psychotic alternative personality and the fact that reality itself is falling apart. Can she return to her father, fight past the memory implant and maybe even save reality itself?

That sounds amazing. Perfect way to continue into an all-out downward spiral, and it is all Celestia's fault.
