Tabitha St. Germain also voiced Scootaloo in Generation 3 of MLP.

But that wasn't really the joke I was making. It's more that Bon-Bon and Derpy haven't had consistent voices, like, ever. Derpy's only had lines in two episodes. The Last Round-Up of course was the one where her voice was redone (Tabitha St. Germain did both of them, just in different tones), and then St. Germain redid the voice again for Slice of Life.

As for Bon Bon, well...

And then it's changed again for Slice of Life!

Something I realised is that they never gave closure on the Pony of Shadows from Season 4.

Some people THINK it was a Tirek cameo given the eyes and cloak, but nothing was ever made for certain, or given a statement by Word of God.

Soooo...villain with absolutely no story aside from Pinkie Pie's 'old tale' shtick? You could do absolutely ANYTHING with the Pony of Shadows, basically!

After the latest episode, where Pipsqueak manages to charm the hell out of everypony and gets the CMC to raise him up, I'm tempted to write him as a waifu stealer that will overshadow Flash Sentry's glory.

I lol'd.  Then I lol'd again.  Then I got to thnking about it and I like the idea of the little guy being a waifu stealer.  Plus, he opted to pick the right fillies to get on his side instead of immediately picking whatever friends he had (as much as I love my friends, sometimes I know they are NOT the right people for certain jobs), meaning he's off to a better start than some boys would be at his age.

He also already managed to charm Luna.

Plus, look at him! Between his coat and his accent, he's just the most damn adorable thing.

I kind of want to see an urban fantasy-esque FIMfic along the lines of the Persona games perhaps, where some ancient eldritch horror is attacking the Equestria Girls universe for the evulz. The only people who can stop it are the Shadow Six and the Humane Six. Or heck, maybe the entirety of the two schools for that matter.

There's a lot of Scootaloo orphan and adoption fics. Until we actually see her parents on-screen or mentioned, there probably will continue to be so.

Most of it's Rainbow Dash adoptions, but I'm wondering...how about a Zecora adoption? Not a formal one, more a 'Scootaloo runs away from whatever orphanage' and lives at her hut.

A lot of people write Equestria's heavenly-oriented goddess or Celestia and Luna's mother as a pony version of Lauren Faust, just called 'Faust'.

I want to run with that, and write something called 'A Faustian Bargain', based on the OTHER Faust.

Not really sure how it would go though. Luna making a Faustian Bargain that ends up with her becoming Nightmare Moon?

Well, Faustian bargains are known to fuck you over on both ends (i.e. along the lines of a Monkey Paw wish). I could imagine Luna being led to think she's not as popular as Celestia because she's not as power, then asking to be more powerful only to then be driven mad and ending up as Nightmare Moon.

That could work. I've never bothered reading the comics, but if I did Nightmare Rarity might do as well.

I have to go through my Statistics books again, but if I do I think I'll make a one-shot of Big Macintosh and his 'fancy mathematics' as according to AJ all the way back in Applebuck Season.

I haven't read the comics either.  ;;^^;;

However, it's not uncommon for any sort of deal with evil forces to have been manufactured by the evil to make a deal that is inherently ill-advised at best.

Also, Flufflepuff did another thing.

I've been thinking about doing a sequel to A Sunset Casts A Long Shadow. Since this idea involves spoilers for the currently existing fic, I'll just put everything in spoielrs.

ASCALS was a little bit of a weird exercise in writing, in that it stays EXACT to everything that happens ON-SCREEN in Equestria Girls. What it instead does is present an order of events prior to the story and the personal thoughts of Sunset Shimmer during EG that COMPLETELY upend the meaning of what actually happened in the film, again without changing a single thing that occurs during the on-screen moments of the movie (maybe I omitted a word or two here from dialogue, but otherwise pretty much exact).

Instead of Sunset Shimmer being the alpha bitch of Canterlot High, she's really a nice girl who warmed up after a few years of being in the human realm and made friends with everybody. However, she continues to feel estranged from Equestria, especially after how she burned her bridges in leaving, and doesn't want to actively be involved with Equestria. Since it's her birthplace, she would like to return one day, but only for a visit. 

The events of ASCALS basically involves Sunset Shimmer learning how magic works in the human world, basically that it literally derives from the power of Friendship, as opposed to the more metaphorical theme of the show in Equestria proper. There's no personal well of magical strength - if you don't have friends and know friendship, you can't use magic. However, she's the only one who can use magic given her origins. She hatches a plan to temporarily steal the Element of Magic and use it to activate the magical potential of everyone else at CHS. Since magic there is friendship-based, it also acts as a limiter on any evil intentions. If you're cruel, a jerk, or outright evil, then your friendship skills are lacking and you can't use magic.

Anyways, Sunset trips over Spike's tail, gets discovered, then pulls of the mother of all gambits to fool Twilight Sparkle while still pulling off her own plan to activate the magical potential of humanity, or at least that little slice that goes to Canterlot High. The end.

Since that was my first serious writing effort in several years, it's really weak, and I'm honestly thinking about a rewrite, one that places the ending first with the whole twist, then builds up from there.


But anyways, a sequel. I was never really intending to do one since at the time Rainbow Rocks was the only sequel film to Equestria Girls, and I didn't think the Sirens would be really credible villains since CHS would presumably be immune to their mind-control powers.

With the release of Friendship Games though, I think I could probably combine the two antagonist groups, like have the Sirens join Crystal Prep, put them together with the Shadow Six, and turn SciTwi from a doormat into an outright antagonistic bitch who only wants to learn about this mysterious energy coming out of CHS. When I saw that little clip at the end of Rainbow Rocks, that's honestly what I thought she was going to be like. Instead, we got, well, doormat. But anyways, those two forces combined, between SciTwi's tech know-how, the Shadow Five's general antagonism, and the Sirens' own powers, they would make a credible opposition.

The best part of course is that Sunset has to lead this battle without getting any help from Princess Twilight or any other Equestrian.

I'm sad because I should've been here two years ago, and now the fandom seems to have died off on TFF except for you akun50 so I have nopony nobody else to bounce ideas off of.

Anyways, something more grim-dark. Celestia and Luna raise the sun and moon. Assume they were taken out of the picture by some ancient evil or what have you, the sun and moon won't raise themselves (assuming Discord, Cadance and Twilight are similarly out of the picture, or this is pre-MMC so only Cadance *might* have the power).

What I'm thinking is something like Malcador the Sigillite from WH40K. In Warhammer lore, when the God-Emperor goes off to do battle, he leaves Malcador behind to do...something with the Warps, a feat that normally only the God-Emperor is capable of doing as being several tiers above any other human in psyker ability. Malcador however is powerful enough to keep the Warps open, but by the time the God-Emperor gets back he's pretty much on his last legs and dies.

So basically, some random heroic unicorn steps up and raises and lowers the Sun and Moon for say, seven days before the Big Bad is beat off and Celestia and Luna come back to find said unicorn basically minutes away from death. Prince Blueblood, maybe?

A Lagrange or Lagrangian point is one of five points in the orbits of two large bodies where an object can be placed with a stable orbit counteracting the combined orbits of the other two large bodies.

In layman's speech, a manmade satellite or asteroid or whatever can occupy one of a few fixed positions between the Earth and the Moon, or the Earth and the Sun, and stay in position. Not every L-Point stays stable over time, but some of them will. Of particular interest is that there is an L-Point on the side of both large bodies facing away from the other large body. The L3 point of the Sun-Earth can never be observed from Earth because it is on the other side of the Sun.

So my idea is this: as a contingency measure, Luna hides a freaking Orbital Friendship Cannon in the orbit of the dark side of the Moon. She can actually control the Moon's orbit if she ever needs it!

Something I posted on one of the groups' forums on FIMfiction.net that evolved a little bit, an alternate take on the first Equestria Girls movie. These are my specific posts


I was wondering if there were any fics where Sunset, instead of fighting Twilight, basically tries to subvert her from her mission. Maybe something like when she confronts Twilight in the hallway early on, she goes all 'Celestia has been manipulating you from Day One you poor fool, notice how she never told you about Nightmare Moon? Or how she let you fight an evil dictator from a thousand years ago with absolutely no back-up? Or how she sent you an incomplete spell that would screw up your friends Cutie Marks, and made you a Princess right after you 'fixed' it? I ran away because of her, you know.'


(This assumes she has knowledge of events happening in Equestria, not too far-fetched considering her ability to go through the mirror portal and know exactly where Twilight's room is, along with roughly what the Element of Magic looks like)

If there isn't anything like that, I think it could make a cool premise. I don't think I've actually seen something where Sunset finds out about Nightmare Moon prior to running away either, and feeling like Celestia was setting her up. So in the above scenario, I guess Sunset could also actually mean the words, and in an extremely twisted sense deliberately be against making friends since she thinks Celestia would use potential friendships in some sort of grand scheme.

a couple of other points did come to mind when reading your post:



First, as far as we know, Twilight only finds out about Sunset's existence as Celestia's former student right before she goes through the portal. Sunset was created for the movie of course, but Twilight doesn't show the slightest sign of knowing about Sunset prior to the start of the film. Something like a 'Did Celestia even tell you about me? Of course not, I slipped free from her reigns', basically a combination of trying to say Celestia isn't a perfectly benevolent ruler, as well as trying to hint her as a controlling pony who keeps secrets

Second, there IS the matter of Principal Celestia. Sunset has to know she's the Princess' counterpart, obviously. Feasibly she could somehow set Principal Celestia up to make a bad first impression on Twilight, who might think counterparts are alike and if that's how Principal Celestia acts, is Princess Celestia's personality all an act?

(Though in my original post, I wasn't trying to imply Sunset saying Celestia was EVIL or anything, just that she was a grand manipulator who likes to push ponies into doing things and hides pretty big damn secrets)




I've had a day to think this over. Since I guess there isn't any story like this published out there, this moves into solid idea territory. I'm not necessarily saying I would write it myself, but here are my two bits on what I would do if I did. I enjoy reading ideas, so throw in your own thoughts as well if you'd like.


I personally think it does work better if Sunset actually believes her own words, believes that Celestia was setting her up for something the whole time. If that's the case though, I think that at the same time she pulls her alpha bitch act while trying to claim the crown for her own, Sunset also tries to help Twilight in some manners, like getting her a place to stay or helping her adapt to human culture, giving her a nuanced character.


Now, Sunset plausibly can know of the general events that occurred in Equestria during the time she was away. However, the one thing I think she could use to really make Twilight question Celestia's actions is also the thing she's least likely to know about - specifically, Chrysalis posing as Cadance. Twilight's blow-up was in relative private, and I don't think too many knew even Celestia brushed Twilight's concerns off. It may be more plausible instead for something to occur to remind Twilight of it herself.


I mentioned the use of Principal Celestia before. Sunset already can say "She let you be a student here with absolutely no ID or documents whatsoever" and play her off as not caring too much about the safety of her actual students or something, then go on about how counterparts have similar personalities. Twilight will see that to be pretty true with the Humane Five. Perhaps Sunset sets it up so Twilight comes to Celestia with a concern only to be brushed off, or maybe make it so that it's Celestia disciplining Twilight over the gym being trashed instead of Luna. Flash will still rescue her, but Twilight's confidence in Celestia could be shaken. Perhaps something Principal Celestia said or did a long time ago when Sunset first attended CHS further cements Sunset's opinion that the Celestias can't be trusted.

To an extent, it would be easier to write this by making the portal open for longer than 3 nights, so a writer doesn't have to shove all this action into the time span of two days. I suppose the logical end of this would be that Sunset doesn't turn into a she-demon but something more representative of her twisted beliefs, and Twilight and co can't just use magical harmonious purifying beam followed off by some words. I can't even tell if I would want a 'happy' ending where Sunset and Celestia make up, or a more bittersweet ending where Twilight gets her crown back but can't quite convince herself Sunset is wrong.

Spoiler for the season finale of Season 5

What if Starlight Glimmer, instead of going on the whole idea of stopping the Sonic Rainboom, instead went back in time to her own self and 'merged' with her younger self?

Years later, as soon as Nightmare Moon shows up, a mysterious unicorn with the ability to fly under her own magic shows up, and completely wrecks NM.

A twist on Nightmare Moon:

What if Luna, instead of refusing to lower the moon, refused to raise the moon instead and said if the ponies liked the sun and day so much they could have it forever?

A long night on what was supposed to be the longest day of the year was a one-time affair, acceptable if it resulted in the return of a long-lost Princess.

The hijacking of the sun and moon by Discord, who was supposed to be locked up, was quite a different thing, resulting in the sun and moon going up and down ever few seconds for the better part of a day. Even still, most could brush it off.

However, with the Princesses kidnapped by Plundervines, and the sun and moon hanging in the sky for a full day at the same time, foreign powers can no longer ignore it. The Royal Sisters have a responsibility to the rest of the world to keep the sun and moon rising and lowering on time every day, and with their track record over the last little bit, leaders of other nations are no longer confident in their continued presence in that role.

A way to kick-start some world building for a potential fic, where perhaps the leader of a Zebra Nation or a Buffalo tribe comes to see the Princesses about three incidents in a year's time.

I think TFF in general is quieter. Back when it started getting quiet, I was thinking originally that people were just heading out for summer, but not many have come back. :( Yet, I still see Fimfiction as active as ever, so maybe it's RL or people have issues. In my case, my lack of responses here have been largely due to overly dramatic RL issues. Expect multiple responses here.

Anyways, something more grim-dark. Celestia and Luna raise the sun and moon. Assume they were taken out of the picture by some ancient evil or what have you, the sun and moon won't raise themselves (assuming Discord, Cadance and Twilight are similarly out of the picture, or this is pre-MMC so only Cadance *might* have the power).

Malcador however is powerful enough to keep the Warps open, but by the time the God-Emperor gets back he's pretty much on his last legs and dies.

So basically, some random heroic unicorn steps up and raises and lowers the Sun and Moon for say, seven days before the Big Bad is beat off and Celestia and Luna come back to find said unicorn basically minutes away from death. Prince Blueblood, maybe?

Honestly, my personal thought is that magic can be ritualized, making it far easier for many weaker unicorns to help do what one cannot, so while the idea of a noble sacrifice like that is entirely possible and even probable at some point, I imagine it would eventually come off as more of an unnecessary sacrifice.... unless it was sometime within a few years after Luna's banishment, when Celestia was still trying to get used to handling both sun and moon, still be a ruler AND still had to deal with catastrophes and/or villains like Sombra.

So my idea is this: as a contingency measure, Luna hides a freaking Orbital Friendship Cannon in the orbit of the dark side of the Moon. She can actually control the Moon's orbit if she ever needs it!

For some reason, I can't help but think Luna's been repelling invading aliens for millennia without anyone knowing. This amuses me greatly, as I can't help but imagine a lot of the lamer space villains from various other series being obliterated by Luna's Moon Beams and it comes off as something out of a Mel Brooks movie.

<insert Sunset subversion idea>
An interesting idea. This would work better with some more instances of Celestia being blatantly manipulative... both to Sunset and Twilight. Perhaps Sunset saw another "favored student" who got railroaded into multiple life-endangering trials.

Also, as you pointed out, the idea that the portal is actually open more often than it is would help out setup Sunset's side too.

My idea for it would be either that Celestia and Luna never really observed it too well (and let's face it, it would require a lot of observation to have a solid idea of how often it activates if you weren't the one making it) or didn't know how it operated at all and it just happened to have a failsafe where it opened under the circumstances originally described to make sure that the mirror's maker/primary user could come back regardless of the circumstances.

Of course, the biggest issue I have with most manipulative Celestia stories is that they never seem to explain why Luna turned into Nightmare Moon all that well. It's either left as the canonical version, which doesn't really lend itself towards a manipulative Celestia (unless getting Luna back WAS her end goal and she just doesn't know how to stop manipulating after a millennia-long habit of doing it); or Luna had an alternate reason for becoming Nightmare Moon and yet, she's willing to play along with Celestia's charade for.... some reason?, even after regaining her strength.

So, you'd want to determine an end goal for a manipulative!Celestia beyond power, money, admiration and fame, as she's doubtlessly got all that she wants already and easily could've claimed more by now. And there's no way that Equestria would be in the canon state if she was craving more than that.

I'm pretty sure some of the second-tier canon sources say that the sun and moon used to be raised and lowered by groups of unicorns prior to Celestia and Luna appearing. I was thinking more like that it would require a specific spell or ritual to link the power of the unicorns, and it was forgotten over time with the convenience of Celestia and Luna around, so when they disappear again a unicorn can only raise and lower it by himself and not the combined magical output of others, which reduces his lifespan by several years every time he does it.



In that last idea about Sunset attempting to subvert Twilight, note that Celestia doesn't NEED to be some sort of grand chessmaster, all that's required is that Sunset THINKS she is. The latter I think would make for a far more interesting story, riddled with moral and ethical quandaries.

<Starlight Gliimmer idea>
It could be interesting, but I imagine Glimmer would make more enemies than friends and get crushed eventually.  For example, as powerful as she is, I don't see her handling the Changelings or Discord very well at all.  In fact, thinking on it, I think that's what was causing those alternate futures.

She was garbage for handling anything but Twilight because she couldn't see beyond her own petty wants, and if/when she did foresee them, she simply made things worse and worse until everything was a wasteland.

Looking on it now, it's clear that this season's ending was a subtle stab at the people who think that brute force would've been a better outcome to all of those situations, except it wasn't.

A twist on Nightmare Moon:


What if Luna, instead of refusing to lower the moon, refused to raise the moon instead and said if the ponies liked the sun and day so much they could have it forever?
I don't think that's entirely how it worked, as I felt what NM actually did was just cause a permanent eclipse rather than stopping the sun from rising.  But it would've made the night colder and more dangerous to traverse.  Though, to horribly honest, I think it would probably get her slapped with a nickname like "Emo Moon" rather than Nightmare Moon and it certainly wouldn't have done any favors to those who enjoyed the night (I personally think the idea of her and her nights having been completely unappreciated was a fabrication caused by the Nightmare).

A long night on what was supposed to be the longest day of the year was a one-time affair, acceptable if it resulted in the return of a long-lost Princess.


The hijacking of the sun and moon by Discord, who was supposed to be locked up, was quite a different thing, resulting in the sun and moon going up and down ever few seconds for the better part of a day. Even still, most could brush it off.

This could be an excellent basis for a story.  In fact, it could cause other nations to start looking into alternate ways to control the sun and moon.  There's even a credible idea to even bolster the defense of the princesses, given how "lackluster" the performance of their supposed "royal guard" has been.

Hell, with a haughty and arrogant enough villain,  you could have a plot to wrest the control of the sun and moon away from Celestia and Luna in a bid to get rid of the supposed monopoly of sunlight or a supposedly more "profitable" tide.

What if one of the Mane 6 outside of Twilight got annoyed over Celestia sending Twilight a book without any warnings to the spell's effects at all and the fact that merely saying the words might set off the spell in Magical Mystery Cure? Don't really know where to go with this, just a thought.

I actually thought on this a little bit more.

MMC is a controversial episode. I don't like it all too much, but not because of the whole 'Twilight is Now a Princess' thing. I think what bothers me is the whole Cutie Mark switcheroo in this episode. The experiences of the rest of the Mane 6 where they struggle with their new Cutie Marks makes some sense to me - they aren't PASSIONATE about their new Cutie Marks, and they lack trained skill, both which result in the things like Fluttershy being depressed because she can't entertain anyone, Rainbow Dash almost getting boiled, etc. '

It feels kind of weird to wrestle down just how the whole function of getting a Cutie Mark is supposed to be, thanks to multiple show writers and internal inconsistency. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie found theirs through an inspiring moment, but Rainbow Dash and Twilight got theirs through actual feats they performed. Applejack leans towards the former, while Rarity was more of a pre-existing interest in costume-making.

I'm rambling a bit here, but in essence, I actually find it a bit horrifying to think about what would happen if Twilight didn't succeed in setting the spell right. The Elements would go their separate ways, Twilight would know she had ultimately failed her friends. Maybe Celestia or Discord have a reset button, maybe they don't. What is interesting here though is that Twilight didn't know speaking the words in Star Swirl's book would do what it did, and given all the other spells we've seen in the series, that was the only time one activated merely through speaking lines.

In any case, Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty, so I suppose she hears all this after the fact from Twilight after she resets everything, becomes a princess, and has a coronation. So she hears Celestia sent the book to Twilight, and boom, Twilight is an alicorn now. So Rainbow can think either Celestia knew what would happen but decided the Mane 6 minus Twilight having their Cutie Marks switched around was necessary, or she didn't know what would happen and was being irresponsible.

But Rainbow doesn't speak to Celestia. Instead, she talks to Princess Luna, former bearer of both the Element of Loyalty and of Honesty.

EDIT: For real nightmare fuel, consider that all the other residents of Ponyville didn't find anything wrong during the events of MMC, and for Rainbow Dash to actually be LIVING in Fluttershy's cottage and Applejack in the Boutique means that the reality-twisting went more than skin-deep. For even worse nightmare fuel, they might remember this alternate timeline. There's a fan-theory that the reason Pinkie was working at Sweet Apple Acres was because she was married to Big Macintosh

Notice what she's wearing. It's not the Element of Laughter.

While Rainbow Dash and Applejack are the 'action mares' of the Mane 6, for some reason I get the feeling that if you were to have some sort of cataclysmic scenario, it's Rarity who would step up to the plate.

I've looked for Rarity adventures and while there are a couple of ones, they don't quite hit what I'm looking for. I'm thinking more of a 'Rarity gets completely beat down and then steps up to fight back more stronger than ever before', she just seems like that kind of person more than just about anyone else besides Scootaloo.
 
For once, have the villain bypass Celestia and Luna entirely and immediately set his sights on Twilight. Events have shown that Twilight is the most dangerous of the princesses; Celestia is wise but has spent a millennium eating cake, Luna is irrelevant, and Cadance is a buffbot.

I'm not sure how you're taking that away from what I said.

I was referring to how a lot of the fandom poo-poos Eternal Night by saying 'oh crops will die and it'll get cold etc etc.'. With Eternal Day, however, everything will get too hot. It makes a world of difference of perception if Luna refuses to raise the moon and allow the sun to be lowered.
