  1. As far as the last question about Carrot Top/Golden Harvest, she doesn't seem to do as much in fanon-wise as Lyra, Bon Bon, Derpy, or even Colgate/Minuette.  Sometimes she's Derpy's roommate, but othertimes she's Applejack's rival in terms of farming (Carrots vs. Apples of course).  Overall, I haven't seen as much fanon materials with Carrot Top as I have with the other background ponies. 

  2. Well allow me to welcome you to the community in style!

    There we go!!!  Never hesitate to ask anypony if you need help.  And don't forget to have fun!

  3. I don't always ship ponies.  But when I do, I ship Applejack x Rainbow Dash.

     

    Perhaps that's mainly because the best shipping stories I've read were AppleDash stories, but the two work so well together.  Although I just like it when the two work together.  The shipping is just a bonus.   ;)

  4. Ah yes.  Good ole Rule 63.  As far as the show is concerned, what we got in 'Magic Duel' might be about as much as were gonna get.  However, some bronies have gone and answered this question already (read "On A Cross and Arrow"!  It's an excellent fic that addresses this very issue. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/755/on-a-cross-and-arrow).  For those who don't know, here are the fanon names of the Stallion 6...

     

    Twilight Sparkle ---> Dusk Shine

    Rainbow Dash ---> Rainbow Blitz

    Pinkie Pie --->  Bubble Berry/Berry Bubble (I've seen both)

    Rarity ---> Elusive

    Fluttershy --->  Butterscotch

    Applejack ---> Applejack (yes, AJ's still AJ)

    Spike ---> Barb/Spines (Again, I've seen both)

    Celestia ---> Prince/Lord Solaris

    Luna --->  Prince Artemis

     

    And it goes on and on from there.  There's r63 versions of EVERYPONY floating around derpibooru and deviantart!

     

    As for the OP's question, IMHO, the Mane 6's personalities wouldn't really change that much as stallions.  What WOULD change is how they would be perceived.  I think that, while the perceptions of Dusk Shine, Bubble Berry, and  to a lesser extent Applejack (the male versions of Twilight, Pinkie, and... well, Applejack), won't change much as stallions, "Rainbow Blitz" and his huge ego would come across as extremely unlikable compared to Rainbow Dash.  Moreover, as opposed to Fluttershy, "Butterscotch" would be hated for being a useless wimp, kinda like how people hate Shinji Ikari from Evangelion.  And sadly, "Elusive" and his passion for fashion would just create too many negative connotations for the audience that Rarity never has to worry about dealing with.  You could play his more 'gentlemanly' aspects up, but I fear the ties to fashion won't sit well with some of the audience (Thanks parents of America!  >:-(  )

     

    One of the advantages with female characters is that they can pull off just about any type of personality in a story and the audience can still like them/relate to them.  Male characters, on the other hand, don't have that same flexibility in relatability, especially characters like Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity.  In short, MLP would not be as appealing with a Stallion 6 as the lead overall.  The show would be the same, but the audience appeal would not.

     

     

     

    BTW, for a hilarious take on what the show would have been like genderflipped, take a look at Trotsworth's Brotherhood is Awesome! comic series on deviantart!  Don't take this seriously, of course!  :-)    http://trotsworth.deviantart.com/art/MLP-BHoA-314233275

  6. I honestly wouldn't mind myself.  It would make for an interesting programming hour for the Hub; Friendship is Magic in the first half-hour and then Equestria Girls in the second half-hour.  Personally, I would prefer if EqG remains a one-shot, but I wouldn't object if they made more.

  7. Here's a comic that sums up my feelings entirely.

     

    Notice how the two Pinkie Pies are playing tug-of-war with Twilight as the rope.  Pony Pinkie and Human Pinkie are both jealous of each other for having Twilight.  And, because there is no human Twilight in Canterlot High School, that means the Twilight the two Pinkies are fighting each other over is the only Twilight Human Pinkie and her friends have.  And, if any time she leaves, their lives will be as broken as their pony-counterparts when they watched their own friend and leader cross over into the human world and replace them with their five human counterparts, who will never, ever be up-to-par with their ponified selves!

    WOW!  That's just so wrong, I don't know where to begin.  First of all if you saw the movie (which now I'm convinced you HAVEN'T), you would have known that Pinkie insinuates that there IS a human Twilight Sparkle around who has a dog named Spike somewhere.  She just hasn't transferred to Canterlot High yet.  

     

    Secondly, that comic was a joke!  Nothing more!  In the movie, the girls know that Twilight doesn't belong in the human world and she and Spike needed to go home, which they did without any sort of drama whatsoever.  The comic was just a silly idea that wasn't meant to be taken seriously.  Leave it at that and move on.      

     

    Thirdly, the human counterparts are not inferior to their pony-selves.  They ARE their pony selves, only as humans.  And at any rate, do you think either set of friends would be mad at Twilight for anything she had to do in the movie?  If your answer is still yes, them you might want to rewatch the show & the movie since you've obviously missed the whole point of both.

     

    Most importntly, like pjsforever pointed out, Equestria Girls is a separate cannon from Friendship is Magic.  It won't affect season 4 at all.  If you really have concerns about EqG replacing everypony, just ignore it and continue watching FiM like nothing ever happened.  Seriously, if you want to create this much fuss about it, just ignore it!  Honestly, complaining about EqG like what you've been doing is desperate, especially if you resort to what's essentially a weak, petty argument.

  8. I'm not saying that the Human Five aren't useful.  All I'm saying is that I wished that Twilight's friends were to enter with her, while their human counterparts are pretty much nonexistent.  That way, all six girls play their parts, rather than one of them plus five cheap knock-offs of them in humanized form.

     

    If anything, I might as well say that Twilight's friends were more useful in Crystal Heart Spell than they were in Equestria Girls.  In that book, the girls were helping Twilight Sparkle figure out the qualities of a true leader, namely by offering her advice on how to lead Equestria.  Twilight didn't resort to alternate-universe imitations of her friends, but rather the real deals!

     

    The real deals?  Seriously?  Ugh, why are you still arguing this?  Is it really THAT big a deal that only Twilight went?  Is Equestria REALLY gonna collapse because the other five couldn't join her?  Is it really so horrible that Twilight made five new friends... oh wait, I'm sorry, they weren't really "new friends" since TWILIGHT ALREADY MET THEM BEFORE!!!!  

     

    First of all, you can't call the human counterparts "cheap knockoffs" at all because they're the exact same characters!!!  As hard as it may seem to understand, you can have two separate versions of the same characters in two different worlds.  Besides, if we are establishing Canterlot High School for future stories, then we NEED to see the human versions of the Mane 6.  The ponies won't get mad at Twilight for helping their human counterparts.  

     

    Second, the story was perfect for the movie as it already is.  Sunset Shimmer broke the 'Human 5' apart and Twilight got them back together.  They all rediscover the magic of friendship and they ultimately save the day.  For the purpose of this story, we only needed Twilight to make the jump.  Having everyone else join her would have not only 'disrupt the balance between the two worlds' but it would have also made the movie way more messy and complicated to follow, leaving too many loose ends that needed to be tidied up.  Most importantly, it also would have taken away from the message of the movie, that friendship never changes no matter what form it takes.  Ponies.  Humans.  It doesn't matter.  Friendship is still magic.  And that magic is EVERYWHERE!!!  That's the point to the movie.

     

    I cant believe you're still hung up about this.  Why is so hard for you to see another side of an issue, or admit that your vision for Equestria Girls was not what Hasbro or DHX had in mind.  Truth be told, there's a trillion ways this story could have been told: The Mane 6 all cross over and get separated and have to find each other again; One of the other five crosses over on accident instead of Twilight; a human crosses over the other way; a monster crosses over into the human world; the list goes on and on forever!  But for the purposes of what Hasbro wanted and the message DHX wanted to get across.  The story we got from EqG was perfectly fine.  Honestly, stop complaining about everything and enjoy the show.

     

    Don't worry that Twilight's friends didn't join her through the mirror, it would have made the movie too complicated if they did.  Besides, all six of them know how important they all really are to each other.  For crying out loud, their friendship survived Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, and each other (on multiple occasions)!  If you were worried about any jealousy from Twilight's going solo through the mirror, I know they all can survive that too.
