Now, here’s a fun challenge. I’ve seen somepony do one of these for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, so I figured, why not jump onto the Friendship Express bandwagon and do one for all six of them? What do you think is the best picture of our favourite six ponies? Be it a group hug, an iconic moment or just something that makes you smile. But don’t forget, all six of them have to be present. You can post more than one if you want. My favourite is a moment from the song ‘Best Friends Until The End Of Time’, just at the start of the second verse. There is a shot of all of them together, walking on a rainbow and all with smiles on their faces. This is the perfect image to sum up the camaraderie between them and what the show really is all about.

I think that Twilight Sparkle looks the best drawn as a human. I mean look at these drawings from DeviantArt that some very great artists drew of her as a human: https://www.deviantart.com/twigileia/art/Human-Twilight-Sparkle-366789750 https://www.deviantart.com/zantyarz/art/Twilight-Sparkle-Human-358114925 https://www.deviantart.com/kittenseitz/art/Twilight-sparkle-271624750 https://www.deviantart.com/trinityinyang/art/Twilight-Sparkle-Pony-Human-323058860 https://www.deviantart.com/nataliadsw/art/Twilight-Sparkle-291613508 https://www.deviantart.com/ann4rt/art/Twilight-Sparkle-386762387 https://www.deviantart.com/alicehumansacrifice0/art/Human-Twilight-Sparkle-WP-283771952

I don't know about you, but I'd really like of one of the songs from the series played during my sending-off. It sounds morbid on the surface, but I'd like to think it would add a small glimmer of happiness to the attendees. Even those who hate the show with all their life can't deny some of the songs are really happy and upbeat and could cheer everypony up. I'm thinking Pinkie's Smile song as the final one on the list. Would feel so bittersweet - it would be my way of reminding everyone that even though I'm gone they have to pick themselves up and carry on. What song would everypony have played at theirs? (Sorry if this thread upsets anypony or it sounds too morbid.)

https://mlpforums.com/calendar/event/328-%7B%3F%7D/?module=events Title: Title: The Cutie Map (Part 1) Air Date: April 4th, 2015 Synopsis: The Mane 6 arrive in a village to solve a friendship problem and find out that everyone in the village has given up their Cutie Marks. Title: The Cutie Map (Part 2) Air Date: April 4th, 2015 Synopsis: The Mane 6 have their Cutie Marks taken and must find a way to get them back from the pony who took them. THE MANE SIX'S CUTIE MARKS WERE KIDNAPPED BY NINJAS ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE THEIR CUTIE MARKS?

Occasionally, I liked to compare some members of the Mane Six to flower trees or dryads because of their beautiful manes. For example, Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy would be imagined as a walking cherry tree, Rarity (or Twilight) as a jacaranda tree, and Applejack would obviously be an apple tree. What kinds of flowering trees would you imagine each member to he?

Sometimes, I like to imagine Twilight Sparkle (especially her EqG form) as a villain, because since she is like the "leader" of the main characters, it would also be fun to imagine her as something like an "evil empress who brings death". One idea I had about her involves a fictional country treating her as if she were like the Grim Reaper (as she resembles a tyrannical death goddess in their mythology): either they freak out and run from her very appearance, pretend to be her to scare their friends, or cosplay as her because they just like folk dances or her beautiful dress. So this idea leads to this question: "What if each member of the Mane Six became a Grim Reaper, appearing to those who are about to die?" How would each of them behave, and what would they appear as (if anything other than wearing black robes)? And how would they greet the dying soul? (Bonus: Try guessing also for Sunset, Trixie, and Starlight if you can! :D) (Art by thattagen)

So, picture this. They release a movie or whatever and it reveals that one of the mane 6 has secretly been a changeling the whole time. Who do you think it would be? I would say Rarity. She’s secretive and doesn’t stick to her element very much, if you know what I mean. Edit: Whole time as in the entirety of the show

One of my favourite episodes from the First Season, ‘The Cutie Mark Chronicles’, as you all know, individually goes through the stories of how our six favourite ponies got their cutie marks. Each of the stories varied from heartwarming (Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy) to humorous, (Rarity) to downright awesome! (Twilight, Rainbow Dash who kind of gave them all theirs so she definitely has an advantage) Me personally, I can’t decide but I’d love to know what was your favourite Cutie Mark Story? Which one left you in as much awe as the CMC? (Well, except Scootaloo) Let me know below!

HUB Welcome everypony to MLP Forum's own Mane Six fan club! Source I'm aware that all of the Mane Six ponies have their own individual clubs, but this is the place for fans of all of the ponies as a group to hang out! Everyone is welcome to join in on posting Mane Six artwork, fan videos, music, comics, avatars, banners, and any other creative media that you wish to share. It can be your own work, or just something you found on the internet. There will also be occasional discussions pertaining to the Mane Six, as well as polls from time to time. These are completely optional, so feel free to discuss whatever you'd like to, as long as it's relevant to the club. - No, you don't have to love every one of the Mane Six ponies to join the club, but I do hope you at least like all of them to some extent. This is for positive discussions, so no hatred for any members of the group please. This is simply a place to come in and appreciate the main cast. - No fighting over who is best pony. Be respectful. Yes, we all have a personal favorite, and you can talk about your favorite all you want, but no arguing over which character is better please.

What's with this ""MANE 6" thing? I only know 5 charaacters: 1. Rarity 2. Applejack 3. Pinkie Pie 4.Twilight Sparkle 5. Rainbow Dash ------------------------------------------------------------ So who am I missing here?

I created the first version of this thread WAY back in 2013 and it was a blast. Now that the show is in its 7th season and so many interesting new characters have come along, I think it could be even more fun now, so I'm bringing it back! Not sure how the mods would feel about me bumping a four-year-old thread, even if it's mine...so I'll start a new one just to be safe. The real world, Equestria, or both are in danger. You must lead a rag-tag group of FIVE MLP: FIM characters on an RPG-like quest to save the day. Here are the rules! You may pick: 1. ONE of the Mane Six. 2. ONE non-Mane Six unicorn, earth pony or pegasus. 3. ONE minor villain. (Can be reformed, or not; your choice.) 4. ONE stallion. 5. ONE background pony. 6. ONE non-pony character. (No OCs, EQG characters, or major villains allowed) I will brohoof anyone who also posts good reasons for each of their picks (like what special abilities this character has, what he or she adds to the team, etc). Have at it, my friends!

This is an interesting one. Basically, the question is which crying scene in MLP gets to you the most and who is it? The show has had its fair share of emotional moments throughout the nine years it’s been around and they can be, in the words of Pinkie Pie, ‘Just... heart-wrenching!’ Here, I tried to use the best examples I could. Some were easy, some not. Some were obvious, some were more difficult. I tried to go for the most emotional ones, rather then ones that were more funny than sad. Honestly, as you all know, all of the Mane Six are my favourites so when any of them cry, it’s pretty difficult for me to get through. Anyway, here are my examples: Fluttershy: Applejack: Twilight Sparkle: (This is the saddest scene in MLP history for me) Pinkie Pie: Rarity: Rainbow Dash: Or all of them together: Let me know below!

My questions to all shippers are: How have your mane six ships evolved through time? and Which are your current main characters' ships? My mane six ships through time are... Twilight Sparkle - TwiMac: 'Lesson Zero' and the Smarty Pants scene made me ship TwiMac for a really short time, until I watched 'Hearts and Hooves Day' and I started shipping CheeriMac. - Twilestia: after TwiMac it took me a while to ship Twi again and during S3 (no particular episode) I realized that I kind of shipped her with Celestia, something that got strengthened after watching Magical Mystery Cure. I still like the ship a little, but it has fade away with the reception of newer (and IMO better) ships. - TwiShimmer: until 'Rainbow Rocks' my Twi ships were just something I acknowledged, but not something I really cared about. That scene at EqG Pinkie's kitchen sold me the dynamic between Twilight and Sunset. In a way I still ship them, but since they are characters from separate franchises I was later drawn to... - *SciSet: I separate the ships because of the clear differences between SciTwi and Princess Twilight. Maybe it was the fact that Sunset spends most of her time with her human friends, but it helps that Sunset's strong personality matches better (IMO) with a less confident SciTwi than with the almighty princess of friendship. - Sunset Twiangle and TwiStarTrix: after watching Legend of Everfree, princess Twilight was left without a solid ship for me, so I supported her role as the third wheel of my faved ships SciSet and StarTrix. - TwiBurst: after a good amount of time without a solid princess Twilight ship, 'Uncommon Bond' came and I was immediately sold by the amazing chemistry between the best book nerds in Equestria (sorry Moondancer, you're one of them too... but not part of this ship). Their interactions on 'Shadow Play' and 'The Parent Map' have only added fuel to my support of the ship and I really think Sunburst might be the best partner for Twilight Sparkle, should they become attracted to each other. *This original post is long enough as it is, so I'll be adding my rest of ship evolutions and current shipping list in a later post.

So personally I know someone almost identical to Rarity. Hell, she even plays piano. I also know two girls that if you put them together it would make pinkie pie. There's the random one and the girl who goes around being friends with everyone and I wouldn't be surprised if she broke out into the smile song. Anyways have you ever met anyone from the Mane Six IRL? Or Spike? (Spike is best pony)

Greetings, Ponies of the MLP Forums! This is a topic in which, you are allowed to ask questions to me and any of my five amazing friends. Sup? Hello, Darlings. Howdy! Hiya! Um...Hello? "The Great and Powerful" Trixie has decided to grace this thread with her presence as well. Before we begin, I would like to thank our friends @Totally Lyra & Lyra Heartstrings for giving us this idea. Rules: Please keep your questions clean/No cussing. No shipping questions. Questions should only be directed at the ponies in the thread title. No repetitive questions please. No one word responses to my answers please. Please don't try to make me write what you want me to write. If you don't have a question to ask please don't bother posting.

I don't know why I have been thinking of this but.. here we go! Rainbow Dash: 5'2 Pinkie Pie: 5'3 Twilight Sparkle: 5'5 Rarity: 5'6 Fluttershy: 5'9 Applejack: 5'10 Rainbow and Pinkie being short... Twilight and Rarity being average... Fluttershy and Applejack being tall. This is just how I kind of see them based on their personalities and even how they are drawn.. Thoughts?

Hello! For weeks I have been working on a story about ponies, I am still creating the characters and this led me to wonder what makes the personalities of each of the Mane Six different? For example I know that the characters are usually classified by 'extroverts' and 'introverts', Rarity, Rainbow and Pinkie are the first, and Fluttershy, Twilight and Applejack (although I'm not sure about her) are the second, but still within those groups, personalities are different, for example Rarity is what society considers as feminine, and Rainbow what is considered masculine, Pinkie is also feminine but not in the same way that Rarity, in introverts, Fluttershy is considered as femenine, Twilight and Applejack as masculine. What do you think? What makes their personalities different?

Literally been non existent for like ever. Just got around to watching the big ole finale + actual final episode. The statue in the final episode in the “future” was actually pretty cute so I had to redraw it. I think it would look dope as like a sticker decal thing or an enamel pin. \(.-.)/ not perfect but eh I wanna digitize it whenever I get around to buying a tablet. Which will be forever from now lmao.

Where the Mane Six has reached their goals since season 7 (Rainbow Dash joins the Wonderbolts, Fluttershy builds the sanctuary etc.), do you think there are/were more rooms for them to grow and be explored as characters? And if so, what would it be about? I think they should have made more new situations and perspectives on them to explore. Make a completely new concept from a character if necessary. I can't imagine making a new Mane Six episode without doing it and still being fresh and fun as much as before. I think the common way to tackle this topic, which was already done by the show, is to set up a new threat to their position. For example, Rarity was one of the earliest character that was already successful in their field. But in Canterlot Boutique, she was challenged by Sassy Saddles, and it's kind of conflict that couldn't have happened if she wasn't that successful already. Rainbow Dash faces something seemingly similar with Lightning Dust in The Washouts, but it was primarily about Scootaloo and the same kind of conflict could have occured even when Rainbow Dash wasn't a Wonderbolt. It would have been interesting if there were a new flyer who could genuinely fly faster than Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie in Pinkie Pride is similar, but she was already in the same position since the show's start. Another way is to explore around their new status. It would have been interesting if we could know more details about Fluttershy's new sanctuary. I think Fluttershy in her new sanctuary with her animal friends has a potential to be its own TV show. CMCs and the episodes after them getting cutie marks kinda does this, where they were consulting blank flanks, and they were a new episode materials. Rainbow Dash and her Wonerbolt academy episodes explores her new workplace, but the episodes were controversial and had mixed reactions. Most importantly, after she joins the Wonderboldts for good, all she had to do was practice off-screen and perform acrobatics, which was oddly less interesting than when she wasn't a Wonderbolt. The Wonderbolt academy and the Wonderbolt members wasn't explored interestingly and had bad impressions to be honest. Twilight with her new princess position was probably the biggest kind of it. Twilight Time cleverly deals with her change in position while keeping her character's charm and as a grounded character as well. Another way is to tackle the character in a completely new perspective. This can work regardless of their new status. In Amending Fences, Twilight has to deal with her past mistakes of being unfriendly. This is less about being a princess and more about being a friend. Forever Filly explores the characters from a new perspective, but it is about the change and the new status they were currently in. Where the Apple Lies is about Applejack's past. For exploring past mistakes, it is similar to Amending Fences, but it feels more like a separate story line of its own. And digging up the character's past has huge limitations. Applejack being a musician kinda falls into this category, but it wasn't explored completely, and I don't feel strong about the idea. More importantly, it's about the exterior, not the interior of the character. Slice of Life did this to the whole show itself and the background characters. If the Mane Six could be dealt with the same kind of touch, it could be great. My specific ideas about what the Mane Six episodes could have done after they reached their goals are this. After Rainbow Dash being a Wonderbolt : There could have been more thoughts about what being a Wonderbolt is and their role as a public service. Also, I would like to know more about the Wonderbolt members and their relationship with Rainbow Dash, and also the whole institution. There could have been more insight about being an athlete and about self-discipline. After Twilight being a princess : It would have been better if the episodes were more about being a good friend and less about being a princess, which is the whole point of being a princess of friendship. Ultimately that makes her a better princess as well. Rarity : Maybe the Mane Six should have had a more episodes about their romantic interest. And if so, Rarity would be the perfect pony. There could have been more about what being such a successful and famous designer is, and also an insight about the creator/consumer relationship which the show sometimes dealt. After Fluttershy and her sanctuary : Episodes about Fluttershy meeting new animals who need help. Showing how the sanctuary specifically works and what it's all about. Pinkie Pie : Her having a better sense of reality and reevaluating herself and a better understanding of herself. The Last Laugh was about her unnecessarily finding a purpose of life which she already knew. But she could at least think about it again more deeply. Applejack : Applejack already knows what to do. But there could have been more about her being in charge and being more comfortable about it, evolving from herself in Apple Family Reunion. Applejack episodes could also focus more about her as an individual and less about her family.

Let’s just jump right in. Talented Her talent is recognized by ponies such as: Hoity Toity, a fashion bigwig (literally) from Canterlot (Suited for Success – review coming soon ); Sapphire Shores, the Pony of Pop, who also mentions that Rarity has been given at least one rave review as an up-and-comer in Clothes Horse Magazine (A Dog and Pony Show); the ruler of the land, Princess Celestia (A Canterlot Wedding); and in her latest focus episode, Prim Hemline, the fashion community of Manehatten and even a costume designer for the Equestria equivalent of Broadway (Rarity Takes Manehatten). So her skills as a fashion designer have been recognized in at least two major cities. It’s pretty apparent that if it were not for the fact that she consistently puts her friends ahead of her fashion career, she would already be a huge success. It’s not that she isn’t good enough to leave them all behind and achieve her dreams. She chooses to remain with her friends, and she is not willing to sacrifice her friendships for success, give or take the odd wobble. Sophisticated This is not a result of serendipity. She was not born into a high class family; quite the opposite, in fact, as her parents and Sweetie Belle make entirely clear. She has lifted herself up to that level, through nothing but her own hard work and determination. In Sweet and Elite, she proves that she fits right in with the most upper class ponies in Canterlot. All it takes is one chance meeting with Fancy Pants to set her up as the Pony Everypony Should Know. Even if that was a case of right time and place, she still made the best of the opportunity, as she later impresses the upper class ponies in the absence of Fancy Pants himself. Even in real life, making the right connection is often necessary for one’s virtues to be recognized, so I believe Rarity should still be given credit for making the most of her lucky break. And despite knowing who and how important he is, she didn’t just sycophantically agree with everything he said, like the hangers-on were doing. She was willing to vocally disagree with him. Finally, that wonderful accent, darling? That sort of accent has to be worked on and polished, much like a diamond. In many senses, she is a self-made mare. Which bring us to the next point. Hard-working She owns her own business, Carousel Boutique, and she runs it alone. She has no employees, purchases her own supplies, finds her own raw materials and she makes all her own dresses (I’m looking at you, Suri Polomare). With the possible exception of Applejack, she is the one who works the hardest out of all the Mane Six, and even then, Applejack has her family to help her, while Rarity goes it alone. Related to this, she is trendy, and I mean that in the most positive sense. Rarity does not follow fashions, for the most part. She actively looks forward and tries to anticipate what fashions will be popular in the near future, and she strives to stay ahead of the game. Another thing she works really hard on is her appearance, and that is the next thing I want to look at. Beautiful, Cute and Charming She is gorgeous. That mane deserves its own billing in the credits. Purple being one of my two favorite colours doesn’t hurt her case either (the other one is green, if you were wondering ). I’ve also always been partial to ladies with blue eyes, and Rarity’s peepers are just the right shade. The only pony (both in universe and out) who can compete in the beauty department is Fluttershy. The indications are that (apart from mane extensions ) Fluttershy is beautiful without making any effort to be (just look at how little mud her mud mask needs in Green isn’t your Colour) whereas Rarity works at being beautiful. She wears false eyelashes, frequently goes to the spa, and apparently brushes her mane a hundred times before she goes to bed and uses curlers. She brings out her own beauty. To me, the essence of Rarity is bringing out the hidden beauty in things. She strives to be better in her appearance and her behavior, and wants others to be better as well. She takes raw materials and produces beautiful dresses from them. She finds gems hidden in the ground, and if they weren’t already cut and polished naturally, no doubt she would cut and polish them as well. Out of all the ponies, her cutie mark is arguably the most appropriate to her character. She is also amazingly cute. Just look at her expressions. How can you say "no" to this face? Finally, whether you agree with how she employs her ability or not, Rarity is able to charm just about anypony. And she does it without ruffling any feathers or making anyone feel bad to have her turn her attention to them. Even when she does it to get something for herself, she makes her target feel good about it. Caring and Forgiving Rarity is often shown to be very insightful into her friends. She recognizes when others are putting on a brave face, like Rainbow Dash in Sonic Rainboom. She noticed that something was bothering Twilight in Lesson Zero. She was the one who comforted Spike after he rampaged through Ponyville in Secret of My Excess, and defended him against Rainbow’s teasing in Dragon Quest, before trekking half-way across Equestria with Rainbow and Twilight in a dragon costume she made herself with no prior notice in order to keep an eye on him. And finally, despite being in a deep depression, she came running to the rescue when she thought her dear pet Opal was caught in a tree in Suited for Success. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders were found out to be Gabby Gums in Ponyville Confidential, Rarity was the only one who actually tried to explain why what they were doing was wrong, instead of just turning her back to three young fillies who had made a mistake and felt terribly guilty about it. She forgave her friends at the drop of a cat (pun intended) in Suited for Success, forgave Sweetie Belle for ruining the cloth she spend a long time making in The Stare Master, and forgave Fluttershy when she said some extremely hurtful things to her and Pinkie Pie in Putting your Hoof Down. Intelligent; Quick Thinking; Adaptable; Witty While Twilight may be the acknowledged as the brains of the Mane Six outfit, Rarity shows that she is far from vapid herself. She very quickly gets the number of the Diamond Dogs, and outfoxes them thoroughly by the end of the episode. In The Crystal Empire, she not only learns a traditional hat-making method overnight, but also manages to think up excuses for Spike’s sudden departure in order to keep the crystal ponies from realizing something is wrong. She came up with a great idea to explain why they had a fake Crystal Heart, which Applejack totally ruined. She also showed her ability to learn things quickly when she volunteered to work on Cadence’s hair, and despite skipping a step, she managed to correct the resulting disaster in time (Game Ponies Play). She also delivers her fair share of snarky lines. Tough Not only is Rarity both beautiful and intelligent, but she can kick serious flank when she wishes to. She may be a lady, but she can take care of herself. Notable scenes include her giving Applejack a roundhouse kick to the face and lugging around a huge boulder in Return of Harmony; coming just short of first place in a race alongside Sweetie Belle, and being athletic enough throughout that Sweetie Belle had no idea that it was not in fact Applejack running with her in Sisterhooves Social; facing down three teenage dragons in Dragon Quest (and delivering a fabulous line at the same time) and outright smacking Changelings in the face with a solid right hook during A Canterlot Wedding. Let’s face it, for somepony who is often called "prissy" she’s really quite a powerhouse. Dramatic Rarity is generally agreed to be one of the most entertaining ponies to have on the screen. Her flair for the dramatic and tendency to chew the scenery make her a riot to watch, and provide some of the series best lines (“I’ll destroy her!”; “Fighting’s not really my thing, I’m more into fashion… BUT I’LL TEAR YOU TO PIECES IF YOU TOUCH ONE SCALE ON HIS CUTE LITTLE HEAD!”; “Of the all worst things that could happen, this is the worst. POSSIBLE. THING! beat What? I really mean it this time…”) Of course, not everyone appreciates that aspect of her as much as I do, but I’m including it as a positive here in any case. Complex Now to be fair, none of the Mane Six are what you would call simple or flat characters. There is a lot of depth to all of them. Still, I feel that Rarity goes beyond the others in this category. Rarity wants good things for others, but she also wants good things for herself. She's caught in a tug of war within herself between these two motivations. For example, consider Green Isn't Your Colour. In that episode, Rarity wanted to be happy for Fluttershy and her success as a model, but she was also very jealous of the attention she was getting. And then she felt guilty for having those feelings, especially when things seemed to be going wrong for Fluttershy. That's just one example from one episode, and I could list more, but I think that suffices for the point I wanted to make here. She has her flaws, as well, which I will deal with in another entry at a later time. Now you may have noticed that I have yet to mention what most consider the foremost aspect of her character, her generosity. That’s quite deliberate. I don’t need to defend Rarity’s generosity in order to justify her being my favourite pony. Not when there are all these other great reasons to like her. If you want evidence of that, I’d recommend getting hold of @@ghostfacekiller39: he has a list. So that was Part 1 of Looking at Rarity, focused exclusively on what I think to be her good points. In Part 2, I want to look at some of her more questionable personality traits. I’ll examine the things fans point out as reasons not to like Rarity, and I’ll explain which ones I think are sound, and which ones I think would be Look forward to it, and of course, stay Rarity side up!

I’m gonna make this dump thread for sketches of shots from the show/movie. I’ve been doodling a bit of scenes directly from the show in my own style as a way to get practice on anatomy, posing and facial expressions. Enjoy! More to come whenever I sketch something up.

This thread will be for any and all original artwork I’ll splash out for this year. Figured I’d keep screencap redraws in one thread and my own personal drawings in another thread to declutter the amount of topics I’ll end up making. Enjoy! Been binge watching equestria girls for some reason. Sunset Shimmer is just great. Here’s some cute drawings minus Twilight. ~honestly was too lazy to sketch her out~ still working on this next one, but I’ve sketched them all out. Here are the boys of our ponyverse! Tbh I forgot Braeburn existed until tonight lol. Also for some reason Flash Sentry has 2 different models in the Equestria Girls universe? I prefer his look in the YouTube series than the movies?!

Rip. I messed up on Dash so I scribbled her out, guess Spike is the element of loyalty again. Sorry Dashie T-T just a messy sketch of a part of the My Little Pony Movie. Haven’t drawn in a while so why not eh.

So my favorite character in the Mane Six of Equestria is Rainbow Dash... but my favorite of the Mane Six in the Equestria Girls setting is Applejack. Is that weird?

This artwork is coming soon enjoy !
