i wonder how maud would react to emo pinkie. would she want to 'fix' her back to peppy? would she relate to her more? nothing matters... except rocks........ this world is so cruel and barren......... except rocks... i think it would make a fun episode premise where at first maud is the only one pleased with emo pinkie while her other friends freak out and then just as everyone else accepts it maud is like no. put her back. and they have to un-emo her. but it doesn't work because emo is 4evr no matter FUCKING WHAT!!!!!!!

Emo garbage is boring
>wahhh I’m so sad
>waghh I suffer!!
Like why do you think it’s not around anymore? Because it attracts losers and then people leave, there might’ve been value when it was first formed but then it got overtaken and dissipated to ashes.
I don’t like seeing sad or self obsessed ponies moping, it’s that simple.

are any real genreheads able to distinguish different niches for the different ponies? i think rarity is the most likely to be a more outfit-focused one (scene? i don't like scene and i do like rarity but i'll take the hit if need be). rainbow dash already sounds like she's been hitting skramz vocals her entire life. twilight is a thinker she'd probably be in the midwest/mathrocky direction... apple jack is obviously mixing a lot of folk influence in but i don't know exactly what that would sound like. where are the trve emos we need to make this work i care deeply for emoquestria and emoquestrians
>>
>>43390695
Love how she looks in this scene. I also think miss eri has one of the best designs out of board made ocs
>>
>>43390859
First thing? We should always remember to look at scene LAST. Scene isnt emo. Scene is all about partying no matter how fucked up your life gets. Emo is about emotional vulnerability.
>i think rarity is the most likely to be a more outfit-focused one (scene? i don't like scene and i do like rarity but i'll take the hit if need be)
The emo fashion movement of the 00s and late 90s is called "fashion core". Worth exploring for rarity...it's similar to scene but distinguishably more "emo" in its gloomier and more washed out colours.
Cross & compare fashion core & old MCR stage costumes for possible inspiration? Hard to find good pictures of emo fashion online but googling "fashion core old emo picture" is helpful.
>Rainbow
Absolute skramz. I always imagine her as 00s skater emo as well. Messy "long style" emo hair with bangs in her eyes.
>Twilight
I think Midwest/mathrock is a solid choice. One of the "lost" emo aesthetics is "geek-chique". Review https://64.media.tumblr.com/8fdc80f5f045159df82485e19c0355b7/tumblr_inline_oyifegfIls1s7eamy_640.jpg
It's basically the normal "every man" emo fashion of Midwest & mathrock, with a slight "geeky" variation on it. Could be worth analyzing the two fashions to figure out twilight. The music of the early geeky-emos of 80s/90s worth reviewing.
>apple jack is obviously mixing a lot of folk influence in but i don't know exactly what that would sound like
Mountain goats
I know they aren't actually an emo band, but for whatever reason alot of emos love them.
For a more directly emo band - review AJJ
>where are the trve emos we need to make this work i care deeply for emoquestria and emoquestrians
Finally a PATRIOT.
>>
>>43391673
Forgot ... WRT rarity's potential fashion, old panic at the disco costumes are another good reference for the "flexibility" of classical emo outfits. Their album era of Pretty Odd shows the way emos can utilize themes from, say, hippies in emo culture.

>Be Maud
>Your younger sister is going through...changes.
>"Nothing matters."
Yeah, except rocks...rocks are good.
>Pinkie sighs
It's true, rocks are great.
>You two spend the rest of the hour shopping for gemstones to coordinate with her outfit...which are just nice rocks.

>Be Maud
>Tuesday, innit?
>Sister still going through changes.
>She's dying her hair again.
>You're helping.

>Filling the space.
>You're a good big sister.
After rock around the cavity hardens, dissolved silicates and/or carbonates are deposited on the inside surface. Over time, this slow feed of mineral constituents from groundwater or hydrothermal solutions allows crystals to form inside the hollow chamber. Bedrock containing geodes eventually weathers and decomposes, leaving them present at the surface if they are composed of resistant material such as quartz.
>You've been teaching her about geodes.
>She just kinda nods and hums
>"Yeah-huh...yep...yeah..."
>"Maud do my roots look ok?"
Oh..yes. they're fine...
>Blink
Do you want to hear more about geodes?
>Pinkie doesn't say no
>You spend another four hours talking about geodes.
>By the last two she's just laying on the bathroom floor, looking up at the ceiling.
>You love your sister.
-----
>Be maud.
>Your sister is going through a lot of changes.
Normally I wouldn't skip rocks,
>You pause
But Mud Briar isn't here...and I don't think it counts as stone abuse. Rocks can enjoy water, too.
>"Yeah, whatever." Pinkie mulls, before skipping a stone out across the lake you two are visiting.
>"Happiness doesn't even exist. It's just a buncha gobeldygook made up by some pony who wanted to sell birthday cards. "
>Pause
Yeah...but rocks are pretty nice
>Skip another stone.
>Good day with pinkie.

>You don't mind them
>Had a six hour talk about silica earlier with her.
>You both came to an agreement that everything is temporary and that you can't find anything meaningful that lasts.
>Except rocks
>She's really been great for hanging out.
>Your extended vacation from home and mud briar has been nice.
>Today you're shopping by yourself.
>Looking for another gem bracelet in ponyville market.
>Pinkie's new fashion statement is a lot like yours.
>You want to support her.
>By giving her some good rocks.
>Rocks make great accessories.
>"Is that...oh as I live and breathe, it is! Maud Pie!"
>Blink
Oh, hello Rarity. I am truly surprised and shocked to see you at the ponyville market today.
>Blink
Really I am.
>Blink
Truly.
>Blink
Infact-
>"Wait!" Rarity cuts your off, raising a hoof to the air, before setting it back down with an airy giggle.
>"Please, no need to er...over explain yourself. I believe you!"
Oh..ok.
>Silence.
So...how are you Rarity-
>"I'm fine! Really, I'm fine. No need to spend a long while talking about me. But really I wanted to ask you about my friend..errr..your sister, Pinkie Pie?"
Oh.
>Pause
She's my sister yeah.
>"Well, yes, I imagine so but I wanted to ask you about her current state ."
She's solid, like a rock. I don't think ponies can shift between states of matter. By the way, do you want to learn more about igneous rocks which are formed when-
>"No!" Rarity gasps.
>"I mean..um, no. Sorry! I just, really I think we're getting on the wrong hoof here. Please if we could just return back to my other question.."
>Blink
Which hoof is the wrong one
>"..I'm sorry?"
You're forgiven.
>"No I..what you said, what?"
I said you're forgiven. Are your ears alright? I can inspect them for sediment if you'd like. It wouldn't be any trouble..I enjoy sediment.
>"Again, no! No no no. I mean, what-agh. What you said about hooves! What in equestria are you talking about???"
Oh yeah.
>You look at her, then down at your hooves, then back to her
You said we got on the wrong hoof...but I don't get it. Which one is the wrong one.
>Rarity blinks.
>Hey, that's your thing.
>"It's a turn of phrase, darling. It means I think we're getting off track. "
We aren't on tracks..were in ponyville market
>"I mean..I mean we're losing perspective here!"
...I can see ok. Do you need me to check your eyes for-
>"I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SISTER!"
Oh.
>Pause
>Blink
>Blink
What did you wanna ask about?
>"Is she ok or not?!?! "
Yeah, I think she's ok. I do love her and all.
>Rarity's jaw goes slack and a lot of different noises start coming out of her mouth.
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you're saying...this was nice though. I love talking about pinkie. It's really great. If you'd excuse me I gotta go back to shopping now, though.
Goodbye rarity.
>You enjoy meeting pinkie's friends.

>Your sister is going through a lot of changes.
>"If you could have any grave stone in the whole wide world, what kinda stone would you want?"
Slate...arguably one of the best, I think. Durable for up to two hundred years.
>Smile
What about you, pinkie?
>"Ohh...marble! No-no-wait-limestone!"
>She giggles
>"Or nothing, it doesn't really matter. Nothing is actually important, you can just put me in a hole and stick a pebble on top. " She looks down, carefully walking along.
>A pebble?
>So simple...so embodied.
Wow, that's really beautiful, pinkie.
>Blink.
>Pinkie and you are on a walk.
>She's on top of a road bump.
Careful not to fall, pinkie....
>"What if I want to?" Pinkie sighs
>What?
Huh?
>"I said-"
>Oh more of pinkies friends.
>"There you are!" Twilight calls out among Fluttershy and Applejack
>"We've been trying to contact you for weeks, y'darned varmint! How could y'all about ignoring yer own friends!"
>Pinkie falls off the bump with a dull thud.
Oh no..pinkie..are you ok?
>"Wish I wasn't.." pinkie mutters.
>You don't get this joke.
>You consider asking about it but Applejack cuts everypony off before anything can be said
>"Now y'hold on right there Pinkie, did y'all just say what I think y'did?!?"
>"Oh, pinkie.." flutteshy tears up
>"Sheesh...can everypony calm down? It's just a joke!"
>"Pinkie...you.."
>"Well it aint-"
>"Maud! I wanna go home!"
>Blink
Ok
>Help pinkie up.
>"Wait...maud! You can't just - we - we need to talk to...pinkie are you ok..?" Twilight stumbles forward.
>"I'm fine!"
>The two of you go home
----
>Be maud
>Your sister has gone through a lot of changes.
>She talks a lot like you do now.
>She can be as quiet as you are now.
>Always looking away at things, silent, like you now.
>She dresses in more clothing now. Like you.
>Her makeup is pretty similar as well.
>You like it.
>Your little sister is really taking after you.
>It's good bonding.
>You crumple up the letter you'd received from mud briar and had finished reading moments ago.
>He's asking when you'll be home again.
>You're not answering.
>Toss the paper into wastebin.
>There's a sharp knock at the door.
>Pinkie isn't at her apartment, maybe that's her.
>It isn't.
>It's twilight.
Oh...hello.
>Silence
I'm making stone soup ...it's my favourite. I dont think pinkie would mind if we gave you a bowl as well.
>"Um..no thank you. " Twilight pauses, looking past you "is pinkie here?"
No.
>"Do you know when she's gonna be back?"
No.
>"...did you ask?"
No.
>"..right." she sighs
>"Look, can you just...tomorrow at five, me and the girls want to meet with pinkie downstairs in the bakery. The cakes agreed to let us close shop while we talk."
>Twilight tilts her head to look past you into the room.
>"Wow those...decorations have gotten a bit gloomy..."
>She shakes her head.
>"You're her big sister. PLEASE make sure she comes tomorrow."
Oh, ok.
>Close door
>>
>>43391777
>Hear twilight talking behind it still, but no knocking.
>Must be private, you figure.
What a nice pony, I like Pinkie's friends. Planning a surprise party is very nice of them...I should bring a rock.
>You don't open it again.
>She's gone eventually.
>Go back to cooking stone soup.
>Pinkie returns home later in the evening.
>Covered in bruises.
Are you ok?
>"Yeah..I just fell and didn't notice."
That happens to me too sometimes, don't worry.
>Pat her head a single time.
Soup?
>She shrugs
>Pinkie tries to eat the rock as a joke during dinner and chokes.
>You heimlich her and realign her back.
>It's a good meal.

the expert is in. fashion core works for rarity i think. she probably would be into the more theatrical stuff as well. i can't believe i didn't consider Apple Jack Jihad it was staring me right in the face. i was listening to in loving memory last night and the female vocalist literally just sounds like rainbow dash to me so that's more confirmation. really the only main ponies i don't have strong feelings about are pinkie pie and fluttershy and they're the most commonly assigned 'generic' emo in this sort of thing. my own provincialism would want fluttershy to listen to dsbm but we can't all get what we want

Yes.....but I would fuck it up because I'm a behemoth monkey. She's probably thinking I'm about to commit unequestrian acts while I'm trying to ask if she's ok. My hands and entire body are sweating with anxiety as every thought I think as loudly as possible is "IM NOT A RAPIST" hoping it comes across to her.
It probably does not.
