ManaMinori 4,149 September 21, 2014 Share September 21, 2014 (edited) For those who don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about, Hollow Shades is a town once mentioned by Apple Bloom, but never explored in an episode. Its on the map of Equestria, though, near Phillydelphia. And it just looks intriguing to me. It's a town secluded in the middle of a forest, and the way all the houses seem to be lit up just gives me the impression that even though Celestia raises the sun every day, light just doesn't reach Hollow Shades, so its in perpetual darkness all day, every day, and because its like that, it's residents make it seem like Nightmare Night all the time (lots of pumpkin farms, high praise of Luna, ect), kind of like the Halloweentown in The Nightmare Before Christmas, kinda. Any thoughts on what this Hollow Shades place might be like?

Shift 4,274 September 21, 2014 Share September 21, 2014 Dark, ominous, maybe like Mordor? I dunno. 1 Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvadel 1,393 September 21, 2014 Share September 21, 2014 At least one earth pony lives there. That is about all we know. Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Chaser 4,768 September 21, 2014 Share September 21, 2014 I have a feeling Hollow Shades might be very much similar to the Cajun pony territory seen in "Somepony to Watch Over Me", or it could possibly be the location in the Season 5 premiere. I don't really know for sure... @SparklingSwirls' OC is from there. That's as much as I know about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know for sure... @SparklingSwirls' OC is from there. That's as much as I know about it. how so? We didn't see much of the town in that episode to really know what it was like. (though I think it might've been New Horseleans) It'd be interesting, I think, if Hollow Shades was the location for the next Nightmare Night episode. I also have a couple of OC's from there Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStarApple 850 September 21, 2014 Share September 21, 2014 Probably some Nightmare Night/The Nightmare Before Christmas-style place. And the hometown of every single grimdark edgy OC ever. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death.

And the hometown of every single grimdark edgy OC ever. hey, for the record, my "edgy" OC (Suspiria Shade) is from Canterlot. So no, not every grimdark edgy pony OC is made to be from Hollow Shades (for those that actually know of the place) My other brighter colored OC (Fairylace Lights) is from there, though. 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkamena-Pills 6,840 September 21, 2014 Share September 21, 2014 It's most likely..shady. I wouldn't be surprised if its visited in a episode at some point. 1 Oatmeal, are you crazy?!

If it would have been a ponified New Orleans, it would have been much larger. The town Apple Bloom visited- past the flame geyser swamp- was out in the bayou with Cajun speaking ponies. If New Horseleans was the territory it was called, I was getting at, that's where they were from. Not the town itself. But I digress- Hollow shades does seem similar, what with how they're secluded and seemingly difficult to get to, and all Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadWilliams 64 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Sunny Town? It looks a lot like that place Applebloom went to in "Somepony to watch over me". It's probably like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 It kind of looks like something you'd see in a Professor Layton game; a secret town where it's always night occupied by the decedents of Fillydelphia outcasts that couldn't stand the city life. They sought refuge and hid away from the rest of society, living independently of the rest of Equestria. Over time, the elders passed on without telling the next generation about the rest of the world. To them, the forest edge represents an impenetrable wall from which nopony returns... Oh wait, there's a train track coming out of the woods. Well there goes my idea, it was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DND 2,355 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 Hallow Shades looks to be in a town similar to a fairy tail village in the woods. It looks to be ominous though, especially at night. Maybe light never really reaches the town, the map could be indicating. My guess is that perhaps odd characters live there or the batponies.

LittleMac 3,085 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 It sounds either like a retirement home or a ghost town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,700 September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 You ever see Darkshire in World of warcraft? Kind of like that. A heavily Hoodoo type town, with lots of occult activity happening in the forest outside the city borders, and lots of local shaman/witchdoctor type stuff going on in the town to ward off the outside area's influence.I'm thinking a Zebra town. Its stated in the book of the two sisters that zebra's live in the everfree forest, and it seems that rather than living in grasslands Zebras in this universe specialize in mixing up potions to protect themselves from evil and monsters, and thrive in living in dangerous forests.As such, Zebras living in a cursed forest not unlike the everfree forest seems perfect to me.
