Scootaloo get!
Damn. It got banned so fast, it didn't even get to log out.
>>41849564
>>41849571you got him too huh?
FUCK FIMFICTIONFUCK PONIESFUCK READING AN SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>41849563What's the point of the hot chocolate recipe video in the OP?
>>41849613It's fun to write and read with a warm drink in hand.
>>41849613It's a pretty good fluff fic, too.https://www.fimfiction.net/story/46118/hot-chocolate
>>41849613It's a really good recipe.
>>41849571>Fimfiction soul trap
>>41849860Off to the scam cairn with him
Any Fimfics you would describe as Lynchian?
>>41849917Uh...Some of fiddlebottoms's stuff, I suppose.
>>41849943If only someone would fiddle *this* bottom...
>>41849917Any of the unfinished ones.
>>41849563I thought this was gonna be the next FIMfiction OP image…
>>41850113Thankfully, it's not.
>>41849917So this is how I find out.
>>41850186How Lynchian.
How old would you say Twilight is? Just over 18?
>>41850357Depends on the point in the series. At least five years pass during FiM.But she's probably about that old at the start of the first season. Maybe a year or two less.
>>4185035720 in S1
>>41850357Sure. Late teens early twenties is/was the general fandom consensus for what the main six’s ages were at the start of the show.
>>41850390Nah they're definitely all legally adults, just in varying states of manchildness
>>41850390Also, if you want a timeline to refer to, since people tend to agree that the show isn’t exactly chronological, here’s at least one. https://www.deviantart.com/tobyandmavisforever/art/Friendship-Is-Magic-Timeline-766636433
>>4185035716-18. Twilight finished school faster.
>>41850398Sweetie pie, 18 and 19 year olds are legal adults…
>>41850401Would be nice to see the justification behind this
>>41850398>manchild*marechild>>41850408I don't care if your third-world shithole lets you drink at that age, nobody under 21 is an adult.
>>41850407She needs to be around the same age as the rest of the M6 for the Rainboom connection to make sense. We know Fluttershy is the oldest I think but there's probably at most a year of difference between her and the youngest. The story only works if they're close enough in age.
>>41850437Now I’m imagining a timeline where they are all already milfs at the start of the show.
>>41850447That's already the case with Twilight and AJ.
>>41850428I don't remember the specifics but at one point I saw a discussion on the topic of episodes being out of order compared to in universe events. I think it came down to fitting things between episodes centred around specific seasons, bits of knowledge characters should have, and elements that disappear for some episodes and reappear later. I sadly don't remember the specifics but I know there were good points brought forward for some episodes in particular.
>>41850437Fluttershy's just a late bloomer.I don't even know if that fits. I knew a girl that acted like that who was the first to go through puberty.
>>41850437NTA but Rainboom happened when Twilight was fresh out of kindgergarten while Rarity, FS, and RD were in school. Applejack was probably the oldest since she was allowed to travel alone between cities.>We know Fluttershy is the oldestShe says she's "a year older" than Pinkie.
>>41850451And Rarity.
>>41850463So during season 1 did people just believe Rarity was raising Sweetie Belle since her parents weren't seen until season 2.
>>41850463Fics about Squiggletail abandoning her lofty dreams of gold digging to be a good mother to Sweebles?
>>41850460Different schools have different age separations.
>>41850464You've never read Past Sins?
>>41850464Yeah and they were correct.
>>41850471Past Sins was rewritten not to have that.
>>41850464Gotta appreciate how FiM took the "here are our relatives who never showed up before but were totally always there" approach to cartoon parents, meanwhile G5 was like "yeah no they're fucking dead" four different times.

Is Clifford the Big Red Dog a Kaiju?
>>41850578He's a dog.
>>41850703Most kaiju are animals.
>>41850578>he fell for the kai jew
Anyone under the age of 200 is a child.
>>41850771Celestia pls...
>>41850771But if she's over the age of 200, she's legal even if she's an immortal being trapped in the body of a child.
>>41850451>That's already the case with TwilightUnless you consider sparkle’s seven cannon, where it’s sorta implied that spike was raised alongside twilight and shining by velvet and night light. Never really understood why some “people” thought that that episode was good.
>>41850847I mean she was like ten when he hatched. Did you expect Twilight to have raised a baby by herself at that point?
>>41850873It's impressive how people will get so emotionally attached to absolutely retarded headcanons they lose their marbles when the show contradicts them, even if from the writers' and any sane person's point of view the situation was always clearly the one eventually depicted.
>>41850887Yeah and it's flexible even. Obviously she hatched him and raised him, but she was also really young. It can be whatever you want it to be, parent or sibling.https://www.fimfiction.net/story/567688/the-m-wordThis went in pretty well on it.
>>41850873I've read a few fics where Celestia raised him and she involved Twilight in the process a bit.
>>41850928That is supposedly how it originally went and that's why he can send messages via dragonfire
>>41850578Possibly.I know Paul Bunyan is one. Clifford might qualify.
>>41850935Paul's a cryptid.
>>41850451Twilight and Spike are not parent and child, they're familiars.
>>41850944He had a job. Do you understand what "cryptid" means?
>>41850949Are you saying mothman doesn't have a job?
It's coming along, slowly.

>>41850986Godspeed, Anon.
>>41851016God has nothing to do with this
>>41850955Does the government want money for the things he does? If not, that's not a job, it's a hobby.
>>41851088I assume he's an independent contractor.
>>41848407I don't think it is. I feel like they would have mentioned the hoof fetish stuff at some point if they'd been here.>>41849154I'm sad none of the RTS attempts ever got into even alpha. Closest was the guy on Youtube from like 2012 that showed off his changeling zerg pathfinding AI and then disappeared after that.>>41849265Yes. It basically created the old "Bon Bon is a changeling" headcanon and the Fay shit's great in it.>>41850357That can work. I'd always seen her as slightly older, like around 21, but it's all just guesswork.
>>41850357I always figured they're in their early twenties. Old enough to all have jobs and responsibilities, but young enough to be still very adventurous and lacking in life experience.
