((Lolwut. I didn't understand that last post, could you redo or edit that. Cause that would be awesome. Thanks pumpkin. So now I guess things and stuff happen until I rus my limit so scimbabadibadbiyletleltle I'm the SCATMAN shimdeeboop I'm a seahorse))

No orders yet. The morning sun was peeking over the hills, but there was nothing to do but stay in camp and clean weapons. 'In less than 48 hours, the city will realize they are having the same nightmares and rally. If we don't get orders before then, I will have to start the attack.' Ranger thought to himself.

It was almost 7:00 and ranger was getting manic. He went to his crossbow and tightened the limbs to a perfect spring. He made a new bowstring every battle he had fought in, and this battle would be no exception. He took his bow cord and started the process. Loop after loop, this string looked the best yet. He strung it up, and the rigidity was perfect. He smirked and got to work on polishing the bolts with anthrax.

Ranger was a blind sniper, but he had the ability to see life forms and zoom his eyes, so no scope was required. He was a dead eye, and hit every target he shot at. But he wasn't lazy about it, which meant; time for practice.

Buzzieet. The bolt flew off the shaft of the crossbow and landed smack in the middle of the birds eye, no meat was harmed. "Perfect again, Ranger." He whispered to himself

I must say I love your proportions. It's like a serious charicature. One of the sarcastic drawings you get at a fair lol. Awesome

Is that bugs bunny with mutilated cheeks? I didn't know bugs could be in a nightmare... Lol. Not bad

15 miles... 20.... 30..... Rangers hooves were getting sore. Their march on the crystal empire hadn't exactly been subtle; but midnight insisted on sending the nightmare. Ranger would have preffered go in and slot throats, nice and quiet. But what is done is done, and he couldn't change it.

'One more step.' He thought, 'just one more.' Rangers crossbow was digging into his back and the arrows had not been properly prepared as midnight had very suddenly ordered the advance. No more orders had come through, but... "Halt!" Ranger yelled. It was almost dark, and the sagebrush covered field would be a hazard in bad light. "We make camp here!" And with that, the men set up tents and lot a fire.

(( thank you for the clarification. really looking forward to this, it's going to be fun. Sorry for being so tough on you demon, fwiends :3. You're up silent dawn, lets get rrrrrrreerrroling with this. Space waster space waster space waster space waster ya))

I'm on an iPhone. even smaller keys. didn't night dart just talk to me? And why did midnight say he's coming for cadence. Isn't the whole plot of this him thinking that cadence was a pony from the past and attacking her because he got her mixed up with an older ruler?

((Just trying to be helpful. So, this other dimension has no grammatical rules? And if he's in another dimension, how did he talk to night dart? Did he switch dimensions all the sudden? I would love an explanation. Just don't subject my eyes to crap. Oh and I don't have a complain, I just have a complain[T])

((Demon, for celestias sake, please please please PLEASE don't switch between time frames, eg. Don't use was and is, wanted and wants etc. you keep switching around tenses. Slow down and proofread yourself, you rushing it. The rp doesn't have to slam along.))

Midnight was mad with power, he wanted those in his way dead and would not stop for anything. Cadence.....you had better prepare because I'm coming for YOU! AHAHAHAHA!!!" Midnight sent the nightmare of him taking over equestria as a warning, He wanted the battle to be at least a bit fair.

Ranger smashed his hoof into the ground, exciting the creatures that showed him where the lines in the earth are. "YES SIR!" Ranger yelled in reply. He saluted and turned to follow his captain's orders. He moved down the crumbling interior of the old castle. It had been left stagnant for years and moss was growing through the mortar, leaving a humid, green path for ranger to follow. Although he couldn't see the colors, he could feel them and put the picture in his mind. After nearly 15 minutes of marching through the corridors. Ranger reached the castle dour, which had been turned into the barracks for countless wraiths. "Listen UP!" Ranger shouted "The time has come for you to stand the buck up and FIGHT!" The wraiths stared in silence and listened intently. Their black form was like a void, intimidating ranger, like black silk woven by the devil himself. Ranger suppressed a shudder.

Good grammar. My nazi has been put to peace yeah let's start this. Just 1 thing, Celestia would only be in 1 part of this, right?

Simple fix... Just don't have her be midnight's daughter. Yes, no, maybe so? You tell me. It's your OC. Lol that rhymed

Ooooooooor. Maybe it was an accident, midnight's soul was split and manifested into a physical form... Goddamn I'm good at this

Here we go again! No, becoming a princess does not automatically make one a Mary-Sue. Disregarding all of a character's problems so that he or she can do no more than smile and sing about how wonderful everything is while being spoiled does. She was so out of character it was painful to watch. She wasn't much better in Equestria Girls. She just did all the work herself with the exception of a few instances where her six goofy sidekicks beat her to it. I called them sidekicks because they're obviously inferior to the utter perfection of pretty pony princess Twilight Sparkle! Especially now that her change has just taken place, we're expecting the writers to [attempt to] give it more depth throughout Season 4. This can only mean one thing: Less screen time for the rest of the cast. I'm going to guess that a good 50% of Season 4 will be about Twilight adjusting to being a princess. The other 50% will be split among Spike, the CMC and the rest of the Mane Six. That's just unfair. They all deserve equal screen time and yet they most likely won't because of this new shift of attention.

 

She's easily the least deserving of the cast in terms of qualifying for princess. What's wrong with Applejack? Even Rainbow Dash has shown some moments of responsibility here and there. But Twilight? She was the least friendly of the cast, and it's only because of her friends that she became what she is today. If anything, they all deserve it more than her! But now, with Twilight becoming a princess, it feels like her friends were just used by her to get the prize. I don't know about the rest of you, but that sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

That alone should tell you that it isn't just one episode I'm getting my argument from. Although Lesson Zero is a great example. I'm not just talking about Twilight getting all worked up. I'm more referring to the fact that she cast a spell that sent all of Ponyville's citizens on a rampage. Not even Twilight could fix the problem and had Celestia not intervened, things probably would have gotten even worse. But that's just one example. There's the pilot episode, but I've mostly covered that in the previous paragraph. There's also A Bird in the Hoof where Twilight encourages Fluttershy to hide Philomena and even force feed her (and we all know how that episode ended). You could say Winter Wrap Up is arguably the best evidence for Twilight being a capable leader. However it still took her the entire episode just to compose herself. But even then she couldn't just do everything herself. It was all of Ponyville cooperating that ultimately did the job. Twilight still relied on others, and it showed not only in Winter Wrap Up, but also in The Stare Master when she was saved from a cockatrice by Fluttershy or even as far back as the flashback in Cutie Mark Chronicles when she only showed her full potential after seeing a sign from a future friend (Rainbow Dash's first sonic rainboom).

 

It's not that I'm "Pissed off" or "Butthurt" because I don't like change in general. It's more that I'm upset at how they've ruined Twilight's character. Believe it of not, I'd be more than happy to see some new stories coming from character development such as Rainbow Dash becoming more familiar with the Wonderbolts throughout the show. I've always enjoyed seeing the story pick up from where the last one left off (such as Spitfire mentioning Rainbow Dash's heroism at the Best Young Flyer competition when they met at the Grand Galloping Gala). It helps strengthen continuity and makes the story more developed. But suddenly giving a character a pointless pair of wings and the title of princess for almost no reason is not proper character development. It just feels forced and unnatural, especially when there's no buildup at all (let's face it, the whole alicorn ascension thing totally came out of left field. They had just tied all the loose ends when suddenly Twilight gets zapped and before we can get a grip on what's going on, they're already having an alicorn princess coronation).

 

Contrary to popular belief, Twilight's alicorn ascension was not planned from the beginning. Throughout the series, Twilight's greatest strength was attributed to her friends. Without them she would be weak and powerless. The Element of Magic was a combination of all the other Elements. And only with the other Elements could the sixth Element be powered (Equestria Girls' lazy writing contradicts this, but I'd take MLP:FiM canon over EQG any day). You could say that every time Twilight has succeeded, it's been because she's been "standing on the shoulders of giants" so to speak. Her destiny was obviously working magic through friendship, whether it be by spellwriting like Starswirl the Bearded or by saving Equestria with the Elements. There was not a single bit of evidence that she would leave this path in the dust for the sake royalty. Even Lauren Faust has said this many times. They had already done enough explanation of this throughout the series to satisfy any good listener. Unfortunately, most fans didn't listen very well, as they had their own ideas for Twilight's destiny such as becoming a princess, which may have been the final push for the marketing department to force Twilicorn into the canon. Such a pity, really. We were finally getting settled in and everything was sorted out, only to have it ruined!

 

But now as a princess, Twilight will spend the majority of her time doing her royal duties or simply adjusting to being a princess (we've already seen plenty of these overly cutesy time wasters in MMC and EQG alone). Never mind that her friends are supposed to be in this with her, we will see mostly Twilight doing cheesy gags with her wings. Oh, wait a second, did I tell you that Rainbow Dash just got accepted into the Wonderbolt Academy? Oh well, who cares! We wanna see Twilie learn to fly! What's that? Rarity met a nice stallion who could help her get recognized in the fashion industry? Oh please! Gimme a break! We'd all rather see Twilight flirting with Flash Sentry! What now? Applejack and her family are trying to get enough water to keep their stock alive through a drought? Psht! Puh-leeze! I think I speak for everypony when I say that I'd rather see Twilight attend boring banquets and drink tea! Oh, by the way, Pinkie Pie is entering a cupcake making contest but there's been rumors of food poisoning going on recently. So What? Twilight signing a pile of certified documents way more intriguing! Hey, is that Fluttershy? Is she being burdened with the task of taking care of some dangerous animals? Aw no bother! Twilight looks so cute in her dress and she's obviously way more interesting than those lame sideki-err I mean her friends!

 

"But wait!", you say. Twilight won't be leaving her friends! She'll be staying in Ponyville with the rest of them! Okay, fair enough. But that only raises even more concerns. If she continues to be the "same adorkable pony", staying in her library, then her coronation was all for naught. After all, what's the point of having a princess when she does nothing but what a normal citizen would do? Isn't that kinda missing the point? If she's a princess, then she is burdened with he task of being a leader. And she can't exactly do that if she sits around in the Golden Oaks Library all day. Equestria wants to see a leader, not an antisocial unicorn librarian with a pointless pair of over-sized wings on her back. This is surely going to leave the show in a rut, as the story moves back and forth between Twilight's duties like a rat in a maze with no exit.

 

I could go on and on, to be honest. but I'll stop here so I can take some responses from some of you (that is, if you're not too busy bowing down to the gods of Hasbro's marketing department).

Oh my gosh.... You're right..... They can't have an antisocial princess.... The mane 6 are going to become her sidekicks... But FYI, Lauren Faust originally wanted twilight to assume celestias role.

Sorry if I'm too harsh... Wanna invisible cupcake? It was made out of the finest rainbow meat-, er I mean dough, around .

Crossbow it is then. Actually that will be cooler considering ranger can zoom his eyes

@disassembled arsenal,

I can't understand your grammar. Please us periods and commas. Thanks

Just a little questionable question, how is this going to go? Like are we going to have battles? Guns knives bombs spears etc.? Would love to know kthxbai.

((Lol wtf is going on. If I could have a short synapses of what is... That'd be awesome. So midnight is the leader of the... Other people and the bad guy. And who's in love with who?)) ((also hi every pony, I'm ranger, the blind pony that can see life in the form of a glow against black.)) ima sniperuuuu bad guy

That will work I suppose. How do you want me to jump in? Intense or slow and in what manner. •ranger.

Ranger has had fantastic eyes since birth but his parents died. He wandered for awhile and then found night dart, they were seperated and he got wind of his friends efforts so he joined the war as a sniper. ? That work?

I would love to be in midnight's army. Playing the bad guy would be fun XD character name Ranger, page soon

Need for muffin 3: underpable

2 years have past since the beginning of the war and countless ponies have gone to the front-line to fight for their home. Wave after wave of casualties has reduced the battlefield to mere trenches caving in on all sides. The buildings are crumbling and the fortifications are being blown to pieces...

Although the dark, black blood of the countless stallions who died there is coating every surface, they are still holding the line. Guns are being produced in record time, and new ponies are slamming through boot camp. Celestia has grown impatient and fearful though, and the ponies being recruited were once considered "unfit for battle".

This is your story, your life, your war.

I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.

For starters, thanks for opening this page. 2nd, we've got some ground to cover on rules

• Try your best to stay alive, you may die based on your choices

• speaking of death…

(• no going crazy and killing companions unless they want to bow out of the roleplay.

(•if you want to leave the roleplay, you have to die. Simple enough

(•you the players control how the war is fought, which means that designated leaders shouldn't be leading charges.

• you may chose to disobey orders, but be prepared to face the consequences. [be sneaky]

• be realistic, no action movie style dodging bullets, this is a war of people that can hit targets.

• no air strikes. That's dumb

Bump

Tu ché. Crayon is difficult. Why is the hair so... Crinkly? East side gallery lulz. What do you do that you have this kind of time? XD still love it

The one on the left looks very 2-d. More than most. It looks as if she is resting her head on her lower back. Unless she's a contortionist, meh. I do love it though.

This is going to be great I can tell. But that tail is a bit too short for the torso. Mane too. And the eyes need a little more... Size. Can't wait for final!!
