Ah!!! My Commission From Leo.love333 On Instagram Is Complete!! Isn't She A Cutie Patootie?? Check Out

MLP EQG FORGOTTEN FRIENDSHIP RANT:

I just rewatched this special and JUST put together something.

Wallflower admits to using the stone to erase little memories at firsts, awkward hellos, saying the wrong thing, literally any public speaking, in her own words. SHE was the reason no one remembered her in the first place. She put herself out there when she got the courage, fumbled but didn’t follow through. Obviously this is suppose to teach us to be ourselves like every time but this feels loaded and a bit unrealistic if she was literally making ppl forget about her and then blaming them for not noticing her.

What a cutie patootie!! I swear I'm gonna have to start collecting g3 fellas!

I redrew Blueberry Baskets from Gen 3!^^

Check my X! :D I have open comms!

Bye bitch

I just finished watching the Rarity’s Peak Behind The Boutique shorts, and I’ve gotta say, I genuinely enjoyed them. The shorts that are put out between seasons and movies are so fun to me! We get to see some extra filler content without it taking up entire 20 minute episodes. These shorts in particular I really enjoyed all of the throw backs to outfits that Rarity has designed in earlier seasons. I never really realized how many of her designs genuinely impact the plot!

I also can’t help but think about how these shorts take place after she has opened her boutiques in Canterlot and Manehatten. I can imagine Rarity’s reaction to being featured in her own news segment or appearing on TV for up-and-coming designers. It’s more detail about how successful Rarity has become, compared to how it seemed like a far-off dream in the beginning of the series. These shorts fuel me, I won’t lie.

In case you want to watch them yourself, the names of each short for Rarity’s Peek Behind The Boutique are “Fashion Do’s and Don’ts,”, “Fashion vs. Function”, and “Customer Critiques”.

This is me working on my blog, in case you were wondering.

I just finished watching My Little Pony: The Movie for the first time ever and I’m absolutely obsessed with Songbird Serenades design. She deserves her own post.

Lauren Faust originally imagined all her G1 childhood faves in a My Little Pony reboot. So why was Applejack the only one who made it in? We don't know for sure, but here is my theory.

IMO Hasbro went into the MLP reboot wanting each main character to be a different color of the rainbow, similar to TMNT or Power Rangers. (Which is a big improvement over Core 7 G3 when THREE out of seven characters were pink.)

So let's look at the initial G1 crew:

Sparkler - blue Twilight - pink Surprise - white Firefly - pink Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

Already we can see some pink is doubled up. But just wait.

Pinkie Pie was THE face of G3 My Little Pony and Rainbow Dash was nearly as popular. Hasbro made big versions of these ponies, they made small versions of them, they made plush baby versions, and they were immortalized on birthday cards, balloons, ornaments, and other merch. I was so disappointed when I heard Pinkie Pie would be in G4 because I was tired of seeing her, ha ha.

But Hasbro was not tired of selling merchandise of their most popular ponies, so I'm sure one of their first notes was "We absolutely need Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash in the new lineup."

Their personality changes wouldn't matter to Hasbro. What mattered was their marketability as toys / designs.

So Firefly, Twilight, and Sparkler were now out of the lineup, due to also being pink and blue.

Now we have:

Rainbow Dash - blue Pinkie Pie - pink Surprise - white ??? Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

But, uh oh! Pinkie Pie and Surprise both have balloon symbols. So Surprise also must die leave.

IMO the names being trademarked / easily defendable was important to Hasbro, and they already had hundreds of G3 names / designs at their disposal. And also they needed a purple pony for this lineup.

So Twilight Twinkle (later renamed Twilight Sparkle) joined the crew and became a unicorn.

Rainbow Dash - blue Pinkie Pie - pink ??? Twilight Twinkle / Sparkle - purple Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

G1 Glory's colors (white with purple hair) then replaced blue Sparkler. But wait!! Both Glory and Twilight Sparkle-Twinkle have stars on their rumps! So Rarity retained Sparkler's symbol of diamonds.

I don't know why they didn't use one of the G1 names, except perhaps that "Rarity the Unicorn" was already a Hasbro trademark, having been a G3 character.

Rainbow Dash - blue Pinkie Pie - pink Rarity - white Twilight Sparkle - purple Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

So why was Posey changed to Fluttershy? In my opinion she was switched up quite late because the original plot of Dragonshy had her as an earth pony, which is why she was struggling to get up the mountain. (That's why they had to add the bit about Fluttershy's wings locking up from fear.)

In addition to wanting a variety of colors, I think Hasbro wanted two of each main pony species. Originally Pinkie Pie was slated to be a pegasus, but then she was switched to an earth pony. So Yellow Pony was shunted into a pegasus slot instead.

Basically, I think Posey got replaced with Fluttershy because it was thought that butterfly symbols were more befitting for a pegasus. Plus girls love animals and if they needed plots revolving around growing plants, they already had Applejack on deck.

So in the end Applejack was the only G1 pony who remained in G4, not because Hasbro had any special hold on her, but because she had a pretty unique name and she wasn't a repeated color.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
