I don't really post my illustrations anywhere aside from Discord servers though. I'm currently working on a quasi-analogue horror project known as ''Lady Midnight''. * I am gay. I love women. * I discovered MLP when I was a kid and my best friend started watching it. * My favorite band is The Beatles, followed by Blind Guardian, Steampowered Giraffe, Gorillaz and Dragonforce in no particular order. Favorite solo performer would probably be Crusher-P * Favorite songs include Act Naturally, Echo in the Mirror, Hey Bulldog, In The Forest, Time Stands Still and RTRT. * Favorite book is ''America'' by John Wagner. * My least favorite book is probably ''Warlord of Mars''. * My favorite writers include John Wagner, Mark Waid and Matt Wagner. * I'm a huge fan of ''He-Man'', ''Digimon'', ''Star Trek'' and sometimes feel very insecure about how most of my interests aren't as intellectual as I'd want them to be. * I'm a history buff and amateur folkorist/mythologist. My main points of interests are the Inca Empire, history of entertainment (comics, music, sports) and Paul Bunyan. I'm currently writing a project regarding the history of Bunyan. * Favorite superheroes include Superman, Captain Marvel (Batson), Martian Manhunter, Lone Ranger, Zorro, Green Hornet, Green Arrow, Kato, Power Girl, Batwoman and The Phantom. ==FIX FIX FIX== * {{EQG\|Lyra Heartstrings}} * [[Equestria Girls: Better Together]] ==History== I was born in [[1997]] on [[7 August]], born as '''Jordan'''. I am a {{W\|Transgender woman}} and longtime fan of ''[[My Little Pony]]''. While I enjoy the series in all of its incarnations, my favorite series is ''[[Equestria Girls]]''. ''My Little Pony'' is what ultimately lead me to discover my ~~transexuality~~gender identity, so bonus points. I first got into the series in around [[2011]]-ish when I saw an old [[PMV]] and thought the series was soooo cool, but my sister thought it wasn't appropriate for boys so...yeah. I love meeting new friends, so you're always free to drop me a message. I am, by most accounts, a very friendly person who loves to talk with people and make friends, but I do '''not''' tolerate bigotry or hate-speech of '''any''' kind. If I see any sort of harassment based off any of that, you're gone. That said, I respect people's differences as long as they're not hostile about them. Never feel afraid to shoot me a message or email! While I do not ignore people, sometimes due other obligations or health issues, I cannot reply on-time and sometimes forget, so never hesitate to remind me once every day or so (or even few hours of it's dire). Outside of ''My Little Pony'', I am a [[Beatles]] enthusiast, bird lover, photographer, amateur YouTuber, comic letterer, and an aspiring fiction writer. My other fandoms include the TMNT, 2000 AD, Superman, Power Girl, Transformers, He-Man, the Peanuts, and the Phantom. ==Archive.org links of note== Line 74 ⟶ 99: ==to-do== ===To do ASAP=== * Clean up code and infoboxes. Gonna convert the <code>Performers</code> section into a BTS section to include character creators/adapdators. * Clean up {{EQG\|Twilight Sparkle\|Sci-Twi}} ** Also going to fuse relationships and personal life. Some minor characters don't have known relationships. * Fix thumbnails. Guessing something broke? * Fix up infoboxes to re-include parameters for auto-adding categories. They were just very roughly handled before. ===Long term projects=== * Write articles for G5 episodes and comics. ** '''Progress:''' God why is this show weekly * Write articles for new characters and expand old ones. ** '''Progress:''' Getting there... * Fix up infoboxes to re-include parameters for auto-adding categories.

Some pages need to be deleted and all the others need to be connected somehow. For now through the use of navboxes. ===Images to replace=== ====Character images==== We naturally gravitated towards face-shots rather then body shots, so some images look slightly out of place when used in galleries like voice actors. A list of these images are: * {{EQG\|Trixie Lulamoon}} * ~~{{EQG\|~~[[Vignette Valencia}}]] * {{FIM\|Tirek}} * {{FIM\|Autumn Blaze}} ====Staff images==== * [[Gabriel Brown]] - Was really into the notion of 'image HAS to be related to MLP in some way' but the current image is awful lol. * [[Claire Corlett]] - Was used because it's a free file on Wikimedia, thus I didn't have to upload it. However, her having a pic of her as a child is a little weird given how the articles briefly go into her current personal life. ** [https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/43/432168/3130559-clairewithfam.jpg Replacement] [https://static.tumblr.com/de393f3fa1ac6041942e92e20fc1dee8/ridwl2j/xDrnx97gz/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_uaiauje7vk00co8kkc4os04c_focused_v3.jpg candidates] * [[Venus Terzo]] - Image just looks weird. ===Images to find=== * [[Ulla Ollikainen]].

Unfortunately, Indian pop-culture articles on Engliish Wikipedia tend to be horribly written and under-detailed so I can't find much more then that. * Pinkie Pie's Hindi name is पिंकी पाई apparently; useful for searching. We also have names for Trixie (ट्रिक्सी) and Rarity (रारिटी) but their names are generic enough to come up with other results. * Hindi Wikipedia has no reference to पिंकी पाई. Line 124 ⟶ 190: I'm crappy at explaining things, so please do bare with me. ===Notes to self=== ~~===Thoughts on Generation 5 -- so far!===~~ Some resources say [[Rhino Entertainment]] was doing ''My Little Pony'' VHSs as early as 1987. I don't ''think'' this is true since I'm pretty sure they're actually from 2006 but the content ON the VHS (the shows) was copyrighted 1987. Or something. I don't get why they're copyrighted like that. ~~Updated up to {{Oct\|10\|2022}}.~~ * Little known fact -- 2006 is kind of the "twilight" of VHS's. Most people assume they died in the 90s but they stuck around as a budget competitor for DVDs until the mid 2000s. Always make sure to check WorldCat and Wikipedia sources critically. They get stuff wrong all the time. I'm not caught up on Gen 5 so maybe the recent media has stuff that blows me away but currently, I'm not really vibing with it. Generation 4 was clearly a kids franchise, but it was always written in a more all-ages approach. Gen 5 on the otherhand seems really focused on the kid demo. That's not bad or anything, it's just not for me. I struggle to really get invested in the stories it tells because they often lack meat on their bones. Compare the Make Your Mark shorts to the Equestria Girls shorts and there's a night-and-day difference. In just three minutes, the EG shorts could tell fairly compelling stories about insecurities, compassion, or just full little skits. There were quiet moments, moments to reflect. Make Your Mark just...doesn't have that. It's always so loud and busy. I ''love'' the voice cast, especially [[Maitreyi Ramakrishnan]] and at least enjoy most of the characters [though I think they kind of removed any 'edge' that made Sunny an interesting protagonist, someone who wanted to ''seem'' progressive and cool but ultimately didn't do the right things and mostly made her activism into a vanity project, while genuinely having the best interests at heart, and just made her a pretty basic all-loving hero with little flaws -- her being a food-truck chef is an interesting occupation tho] but the connecting issue of everything needs work. The world it builds also just feels...off. Despite its much kiddier storytelling, the premise of the show is inherently kind of messed up. Not in the fun way either, a way that nulls the ''entirety'' of Gen 4, or at least its ending. That no, what Twilight did wasn't good, and the peace of the world she managed to forge was weak and didn't last. For Gen 5 to exist, Gen 4 had to have a 'bad ending'. I'm not forsaking Gen 5 for this as some fans are, and we are pretty early in its lifespan so maybe they're going to do something interesting with this premise but...I'm not sure what they can do that wouldn't cause a conflict of interest. Either they go full continuity -dirty P word- and re-introduce long-lived characters like Spike or Discord into the main series and go over how some of the species like Kirin, Hippogriffs, Dragons, Deer, etc, fit into all this and make the world feel more compete at the risk of alienating kids, or alienate adult fans by brushing these aside, which seems antithetical to its entire premise being a continuation of a show that most kids in the demo wouldn't have watched, much less know the lore of. I'm all for big long single-continuity shows like Power Rangers or the WFC era of Transformers, but it doesn't seem to really work for MLP. The show is for kids young enough to where the sense of mystery of what came before doesn't seem to be a selling point, but maybe they know what they're doing. If they take their time and age the show for their aging audience, I think they can please all demos. I hope the creative team the best! ===When I think Pony is at its best=== Line 189 ⟶ 251: ===Unpopular opinions=== * Snails is the most fleshed out and nuanced character in the franchise. I am dead serious. * Sunset Shimmer is a terribly written character, but that's also kind of what makes her one of my favorites. Writers cncan never figure out what she's really ''like'', and so she can work in pretty much every scenario in the series or fanfic. It's great. ~~<!-->https://static.miraheze.org/mylittleponywiki/1/11/Equestripedia_logo.png Logo link so I dont misplace it</-->~~ ==Amelia rants about ponies because she's a grown woman== Line 199 ⟶ 259: Also bugs me that for Pride Month, they just slapped LGBT colors on a stock image of characters that we dont even know anything about yet. We have plenty of gay characters as is...well, only like four not countiing random ones Hasbro probably doesn't even know about like [[Sappho]], but still. No one gets upset about the insertion that [[Alizarin Bubblegum]] and [[Celery Stalk]] are probably romantically inclined given the unsaid but clear implications in their interactions, but mentioning [[Wiz Kid]] and [[Curly Winds]] may also be in romantically connected when they cuddle and blush in each others presence is too much apparently. [https://derpibooru.org/images/396621?q=collector+card I really hate pony toy bios.] Transformers and G.I. Joe get actual descriptions of the characters histories and personality, but MLP? We just get 'likes to sing' apparently. No one gets uppity about the insertion that [[Alizarin Bubblegum]] and [[Celery Stalk]] are romantically inclined when the shorts make it preeeetty clear, but mentioning [[Wiz Kid]] and [[Curly Winds]] may also be in romantically connected when they cuddle and blush in each others presence is too much apparently * [https://youtu.be/9E7OFuV-ON0 THEY GO ON A TUNNEL OF LOVE TOGETHER HOW ARE THEY STRAIGHT]
