Me, Doing My Best To Piece Together The Broken Af Lore Of MLP Without Reading The Comics Or Even Watching

Any advice for starting an ask blog? I'm considering making one for my mlp g4 rewrite. :)

Idk man, this is my first one n I'm kinda just fucking around, but i suppose dht email 3 things I'd suggest are

1. Have fun with it, take breaks if you can't handle it or even if you just aren't in the mood. You as a person are far more important than a silly pony blog ever will be.

2. Have a bit more solid planning than I did, I do have a bit of a plan unfortunately I'm just indecisive and trying to struggle between 2 plans rn, I'd suggest having at least a bit of a plot idea in some shape or form if your blog has a story you want to happen throughout it

3. Practice drawing ponies, I need to do that more often bc I took a break since I was forgetting how to do humans and I draw other Fandom stuff for me and my bf solely, but I'm hopefully planning on getting back to it soon and maybe I'll end up posting some practice sheets. I mainly want to practice just so I can do different perspectives, lol.

Bonus:

Maybe watch old YouTube ask blog content! I get a decent amount of my inspiration from classic pony blogs (specifically on the grimdark side of things), even if those blogs weren't the pinnacle of writing or art, the main thing is that you can enjoy them and have fun with them, that should be at the core of any ask blog I think, it being something to enjoy for the creators and followers!

If you make your blog I can't wait to see it! :]

(Sorry if there's typos I'm still tired and kinda sick)

Might make a few more changes to the necessity Mane 6 designs but I know I want to keep them more akin to their Canon designs than not for certain reasons I cannot elaborate rn, just not sure how you guys would feel about that so if you guys could tell me if you would be fine with it or not that'd be great to know

(I guess this is a stupid question but still wanted to at least mention it so if I end up doing it nobody is surprised, I'll probably reblog this on the ask blog itself too)

It's been two weeks since Applejack's family fled alongside the other ponies of Ponyville. She's been roaming the acreage for three days on end and she currently has only one good leg left for bucking.

Rainbow Dash may have been the first of the mane six to be infected as her need for speed was core to her personality. As a result, little moments of impatience or rushing ponies went unnoticed. Rainbow was diagnosed despite her denial during her back-to-back racing episodes.

Fluttershy has reclused herself within the Everfree Forest to tend to maximize her caretaking. She has succumbed to her Timberwolf injuries.

Rarity has become a shut-in and uses her artistic expression to cope. Her memories of her friends have been replaced with nonsensical sewing bursts which will inevitably be thrown into the pile of duds. Ponyville is roughly 80% evacuated at this point in time.

Pinkie Pie has to withstand the smell of Mr. and Mrs. Cakes as she dances once again for a fourth night. The couple has passed ever since Pinkie started showing symptoms. No pony is left to intervene.

People don't make ponies fucked up bitches who act out in a way not equal to how they were wronged in grimdark anymore. Give me ponies who get insulted so they kill a family or sumn idfk. At least make them assholes. Wacky assholes are still assholes and I love them.

Don't be a pussy make ur character a bitch!!

Pspspspspsps mlp fans pspspspsspspspspsps my little pony fans gimme doodle reqs again psppsspspspsspspspspsps I need to practice the art of the pony.

If you guys liked the whole "Stephs flannel matches Peter's suspenders and bow tie" thing then this costuming detail is in tgwdlm gonna fuck you up.

When we get our first scene with Paul and Emma, the two are dressed in their respective main outfits. These are the ones people tend to associate with them.

But throughout the show, as they get closer and bond, their outfits become more and more similar. Pretty soon Emma's lost the apron

Then at the professor's house, Paul loses the jacket

and by the time McNamara is infected, Paul has his sleeves rolled up and Emma's bow tie has come undone.

At this point, the two are at their most aesthetically similar, and also the closest they've been the entire show. This is moments before the helicopter crash and their failed kiss. They remain this way for a good chunk of time...until Paul comes back

It's like some fast-paced foreshadowing. Emma remains in her changed state, the same as her character, but Paul is back to square one. He's wearing the same outfit he was when they met, and they no longer align. She doesn't know who he is anymore.

I don't know if this was intentional (and if it was, no one explained it to Jon) but it plays out so damn well.

YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD OUTSMART THE VERY THING THAT RUNS THE BLOOD OF YOUR KIND?

Oops. Still down the rabbit hole. Here's a jeff.

Why the fuck can mlp fanfics give me chills these mfs write about colorful ponies in such dark and dramatic situations in a way that feels like it could be a real ass book that people praise or something
