My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Idea Megathread

I'm not sure if this is just fanon or not, but I believe Fluttershy does have some sort of local wildlife management position. Given that Equestrians seem to control a lot of aspects of local nature, including stuff that should be governed by animal instincts, it does make sense for Fluttershy to actually be doing that sort of work.
Or she's a Companion. She was hot enough to be a model, after all. ;)

I still think she could have an assassin as a split personality, after all...



I don't know much about being a chiropractor, but as far as I know, unless it's an owl, a patient shouldn't be facing their own back
 
I've been reading humans in equestria lately, so here's my idea: a human winds up in equestria before the series start, he/she are found by the great and powerful Trixie, after they both get over the shock of their first meeting Trixie decides to make the human her assistant as thanks to being the only human in equestria that makes him/her unique.
He/she decides to go along with it because:
1.It's a way to learn about where they are.
2.Trixie travels around so she/he can learn about if their's a way back to earth.
3.Trixie is not only paying her/him(even those it's not much) but also is providing meals and shelter in her trailer.
4.Trixie might be the only one who would be friendly to her/him.

Basically they have adventures together before they end up in ponyville, the adventures are either cause by the human being a human, Trixie stories or schemes backfiring, or them being at the wrong place at the wrong time, thanks to their adventures they develop a deep friendship with each other. Their first meeting with the mane six would be quite a encounter.

Rainbow Dash is the head of the Ponyville branch of the weather control service, as stated in the first episode actually. So probably has decent pay and benefits as a mid level position in the government does get fairly good pay.

Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy are the ones I'd worry about more. Twi seems to have no real job persay, and likely has some sort of allowance from Celestia or her actual parents.

Fluttershy it is very unclear how she makes money, but the episode where she gets assertiveness training demonstrates she doesn't have much money.

Yet, despite this, she seems to have enough to regularly have spa dates with Rarity... assuming Rarity isn't treating her on those?

I don't know about before it, but maybe now she lives off of the interest of her modeling stint or something, or she invested wisely.

I always assumed she was getting paid to look after the wildlife, just as Rainbow Dash was the weather. Going by the things we see her doing for them, they really don't look able to take care of themselves.

I had an idea, and I'm not sure how common it is, but here goes:

Queen Chrysalis is head over heels in love.

With Princess Celestia.

Kidnapping Cadence, assuming her identity and mindfucking Shining Armor into completing the wedding was to give Chrysalis an opening at Celestia, as her plan was to get Celestia to read a set of ambigious wedding vows that would infer two ponies being married, but never infer gender.

Shining Armor was to declare "As Captain of the guard, I hereby officiate this marriage! The two brides may now kiss!", then Chysalis was going to ambush Celestia with a french kiss while disguised as Cadence.

The invasion was actually a diversion to keep Luna and the guards distracted while Chrysalis made off with "her then-new bride, Celestia".

It's the best Chrysalis isn't evil idea I've ever heard. Now get to writing.

Spike's Friends (Which Twilight Does Not Know About)

Seeing as Spike somehow knew Hoity Toity back from who knows when back in Season One, I've come up with this idea to explore Spike's OTHER circle of friends... which Twilight, seeing as she'd always be cooped up in her room studying from way back during her days as Princess Celestia's student, would not know about. The twist here is that Spike's friends are the ponies that Twilight's friends want to be better acquainted with. Of course, falling into the parameters of canon, I'd obviously make this particular group older than Spike, but not unwelcome to his company.

So far, I suggest Hoity Toity, as he's already been there, Soarin', for a Wonderbolts presence, Donut Joe as the outsider who's friends with Spike's friends ala Pops from Archie Comics, but the only girls I've put up to be in Spike's little gang so far are Fleur-De-Lis and maybe Moondancer or Spitfire. Of course, it'd be a short piece of fiction, a little bit of slice of life, but I'd want the whole matter to actually resound that it's practically an episode of MLP as written by me, instead of diverging off on a tangent unknown.

Thoughts?
 
Monkey.

Sorry, but for some reason I thought monkey.

Anyways, sound like a reasonable idea. Good luck on writing it up to seem like an episode.

I'd say it would be funny if the "Sweet and Elite" episode took place while Spike was away on "Canterlot Business" and Rarity didn't know until she stumbled on Spike hobnobbing with Fancy Pants (I can totally see Spike in a suit with a monocle, holding a wine glass).
 
Why do you think he wants a mustache so much? It completes the look of the suit, monocle, and wine.

"Hmm, yes, quite."
 
For absolute hilarity, this is all revealed during the Grand Gallopin' Gala; where Rainbow finds Spike chatting with Soarin' and Spitfire as though they're old friends.

Though Rarity stumbling in on him during Sweet and Elite is kind of funny, too. The poor girl might just go into shock.
 
Also, how Celestia gets her vacation time:
______________________________________________

"Muahahahaha!" The laugh was heralded by an explosion of smoke on the stairway, and the appearance of a small dragon wearing a tuxedo, top hat and opera cape accompanied by a masked alicorn only slightly smaller than Celestia. The dragon twirled his moustache evilly as Celestia was bound by blue bands of force, and smirked at the Gala's attendees.

"Nobleponies of Equestria! Princess Celestia is our hostage, and unless our demands are met within five-"

Celestia frowned.

"-seven days, you will never see your Princess again! To the Lair, henchpony!" He twirled his moustache again.

Evilly.

With that, all three of them vanished in a flash of blue light.

Twilight Sparkle, who'd been unable to do anything more than gape disbelievingly at the spectacle, finally managed to squeak out "Spike?" before passing out. Prince Blueblood, who'd been standing at the doorway, simply sighed wearily and turned to one of the passing servants. "Do tell Princess Mi Amore Cadenza that it's her turn to deal with Parliament this time."

Option 1
She couldn't believe it...

She could NOT believe it...

Spike was an alright little guy, she'd admit, but...

How was he hanging out with the Captain of the Wonderbolts? And they were laughing like it was just another day hanging with their buds and...

No way...

Did Spitfire just blush at Spike?!

Forget blushing, Dash's idol looked like a school filly talking to the hottest stallion in school.

Okay, she had to look away, she was afraid if she kept watching her brain would explode or something.

Rainbow Dash tore herself away from the sight, about to walk away, when she saw somepony else, it was Soarin'! The lieutenant of the Wonderbolts was trotting right towards her and-

"Hey, Spike, you've got to try this pie!" The Pegasus stallion called as he marched right past Dash.

Rainbow Dash simply stood there. In fact, she stood there the entire night, her brain trying, and failing, to handle the new information. She stood so still, in fact, that for the rest of the night, many guests thought she was an odd decoration...
Option 2

She couldn't believe it, this had to be some sort of coincidence. He was a perfect little gentlecolt, yes, but not only was this a party for the highest of high society, he should be in Ponyville as far as she knew...

Yes, that was it, this had to be a case of mistaken identity. Rarity turned to her hosts, "I beg your pardon, Fancy, Fleur, but who is that fellow there in the white tuxedo?"

"White Tuxedo..." Fancypants trailed off as if remembering something, but it was Fleur de Lis that broke her perfect decorum with a loud gasp.

"Spike!" The mare dashed across the room, scooping Spike up into a hug, causing him to drop a glass of what Rarity hoped was grape juice.

"By jove, it is Spike," Fancy smiled, adjusting his monocle before addressing Rarity in a low voice, "A bit of advice, Rarity, make as good of a first impression as you can, a friendship with young Spike will open more doors than you would ever know. Why, I wouldn't be where I am today without Spike Dragul Solaris." With a wide smile, the stallion trotted off.

Rarity watched, an odd twitch in her eye, as the elite of Canterlot gathered around her little Spikey-Wikey like he was the second coming of Celestia, Stallions joking, Mares swooning, and Rarity seriously wishing she'd packed her fainting couch.

It's like Sim City except you can't destroy your city or quit.

May I please share this idea elsewhere?

Darn it Fluttershy, you're in the way of Discord's plan! I know what happened in the comic, but I wanted to see if there was more!
