“mascara running” is already aliased to “running makeup”

Twilight Sparkle: A Journey of Destiny

In the magical land of Equestria, where the skies shimmer with the warmth of the sun and the moon casts a silver glow on rolling fields, there lived a young unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. Born in the heart of Canterlot, the capital city of the land, Twilight was the younger of two siblings. From the time she could remember, she had an insatiable curiosity, a thirst for knowledge that set her apart from other foals her age. Her parents, Night Light and Twilight Velvet, were both intellectual ponies—her mother a well-known writer and her father a highly regarded astronomer. Their love for learning no doubt inspired young Twilight to delve into the mysteries of the world.

But it wasn’t until one fateful day, when Twilight Sparkle saw Princess Celestia raise the sun during the Summer Sun Celebration, that her destiny became clear.

Twilight’s eyes widened as she watched the Princess, her flowing ethereal mane glistening in the morning light, lift the sun with such grace and power. In that moment, Twilight felt something stir deep within her—a yearning, a call. She knew she wanted to be like Princess Celestia, to understand magic in all its forms, to wield it with the same grace and purpose.

From then on, books became Twilight’s constant companions. She devoured every piece of literature she could find on magic, history, and ancient spells. Her parents, seeing the potential in their daughter, enrolled her in Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. It was a prestigious institution, one reserved only for the most talented unicorns in Equestria, and Twilight was ecstatic. She had heard stories of the powerful magic that unicorns studied there, and she longed to learn everything she could.

But there was one thing standing in her way: the entrance exam.

Twilight was led into a large, intimidating room with tall walls lined with bookshelves and a few strict-looking examiners seated at a long table. In front of her was an egg—a dragon’s egg. The task was simple, they said: hatch the egg using magic.

Twilight’s heart pounded in her chest as she tried spell after spell, but the egg remained stubbornly unhatched. She was beginning to panic when suddenly, a loud explosion reverberated through the room. Startled, Twilight’s magic surged out of control. A blinding light filled the chamber as her power spiked, lifting the egg, the examiners, and even Twilight herself into the air.

In a flash of brilliant light, the egg cracked, and a tiny purple baby dragon emerged, blinking up at the world for the first time. But that wasn’t the end of it. Twilight’s magic spiraled further out of control—unruly beams of energy shot from her horn, turning her parents into potted plants and causing havoc around the room. She was terrified, unable to stop the overwhelming surge of magic until a gentle hoof touched her shoulder.

It was Princess Celestia.

The moment the Princess intervened, Twilight’s magic instantly calmed. The room settled, and everything returned to normal. The examiners, still recovering from the shock, whispered amongst themselves as they watched the Princess speak to Twilight.

“You have a rare gift, Twilight Sparkle,” Celestia said, her voice warm and kind. “But magic like yours requires training and focus. You need a mentor.”

Twilight looked up, still shaking, but with hope glimmering in her eyes. “A mentor?” she whispered.

“Yes. From now on, I will be your personal teacher.”

Twilight’s world changed that day. Not only had she hatched the dragon—whom she would name Spike, her lifelong companion—but she had also been chosen by Princess Celestia herself. She was overjoyed, her dreams finally within her grasp. From that moment on, Twilight dedicated herself to her studies like never before. Day and night, she buried herself in magical tomes and scrolls, learning everything she could under Celestia’s careful guidance.

Celestia, however, did more than teach her magic. She nurtured Twilight’s character, showing her the importance of friendship, kindness, and humility. Yet, for all of her intellect and magical prowess, Twilight struggled with the concept of friendship. She was introverted, content to live within her own world of books and study, often feeling like friendships were a distraction from her true purpose.

Years passed, and Twilight’s magical abilities continued to grow. She became one of the most powerful unicorns in all of Equestria, yet something still felt incomplete. One day, as she was deeply immersed in a book on ancient Equestrian legends, Celestia gave her a new assignment: to oversee the preparations for the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville. The Princess had sensed that Twilight’s journey was not only about mastering magic but also learning about the magic of friendship.

Twilight, of course, was reluctant. Friendship had always seemed secondary to her pursuit of magical knowledge, but she trusted her mentor. With Spike by her side, Twilight set off for Ponyville, convinced that her time there would be brief, merely a task to complete before returning to Canterlot. But Ponyville had something else in store for her.

It was in Ponyville that Twilight met the ponies who would become her closest friends—Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Each of them embodied a key element of harmony: Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Laughter, and Kindness. Together, they would help Twilight realize the true power of friendship.

When Nightmare Moon, the dark alter ego of Princess Luna, returned from her thousand-year imprisonment, it was Twilight and her newfound friends who unlocked the ancient Elements of Harmony and defeated her, restoring Princess Luna to her true self. This moment cemented Twilight’s place in Equestria’s history, not only as a powerful unicorn but as the bearer of the Element of Magic, the sixth and most essential Element of Harmony.

In the years that followed, Twilight and her friends faced countless challenges. From defeating the spirit of chaos, Discord, to protecting Equestria from the Changeling Queen Chrysalis, Twilight’s journey was one of growth, not just as a mage but as a friend and leader. Princess Celestia continued to guide her, always watching from afar as Twilight grew stronger with each trial.

Twilight’s destiny, however, was greater than she could have imagined. After discovering the mysterious Tree of Harmony and unlocking the secrets of the Elements, Twilight found herself faced with her greatest test yet—completing an unfinished spell left behind by Starswirl the Bearded, one of the greatest sorcerers in Equestria’s history. The spell was incomplete because it lacked one crucial component: the magic of friendship.

By this point, Twilight had learned that magic wasn’t just about spells and power; it was about the connections between ponies, the bonds that brought them together. When Twilight completed the spell, something incredible happened—her body was enveloped in a radiant light, and she was transformed. She had become an alicorn, a being with the magic of a unicorn, the flight of a pegasus, and the strength of an earth pony.

Princess Celestia welcomed her as Equestria’s newest princess, acknowledging that Twilight had fulfilled her destiny. But Twilight was uncertain. She had always looked to Princess Celestia for guidance, and the thought of ruling alongside her was daunting.

Celestia, however, assured her with a smile. “You are ready, Twilight. You’ve proven that you understand the most important magic of all—the magic of friendship. You won’t rule alone. You have your friends by your side, and you will always have me.”

And so, Twilight Sparkle embraced her new role. She continued to learn and grow, and with the support of her friends and mentor, she became a wise and compassionate leader. Eventually, after many adventures and years of serving Equestria, Twilight Sparkle was crowned the ruler of Equestria. Her reign was one of harmony, wisdom, and unity, guided by the lessons she had learned along her journey.

Twilight had once been a young filly, eager to learn and prove herself. But through her experiences and friendships, she had grown into a ruler who understood that the greatest magic wasn’t something found in books or ancient spells, but in the hearts of those who stood by her side.

And with that, Twilight Sparkle continued the legacy of Princess Celestia, leading Equestria into a new era of peace and prosperity.

The End - I hope you enjoyed it!

Obligatory “not my fetish so if someone knows better, please contradict me if I’m wrong”

By tag counts, it looks like “pred” is the preferred suffix by a large margin over “predator”, so:
mare predator -> mare pred (and imply female pred?)
female predator -> female pred
stallion predator -> stallion pred (and imply male pred?)
male predator -> male pred
unwilling predator -> unwilling pred
micro predator -> micro pred
changeling predator -> changeling pred

Hey! So I’ve been playing with AI for about a year now, and I’ve decided to start uploading some of my gen here, but 4 out of the six I’ve posted got deleted, now, I suppose something was wrong? Maybe the tagging? But there’s not notification nor nothing, so I don’t know. I understand that giving reasons for every post deleted might be impossible, but I’m afraid to post something out of the guideline once again! Is there any way to know what was the problem?
(3 out of the 4 where SFW image!)

The only rule that COULD apply was to try and make the same style as an Artist, but my gen are made with a LoRA I’ve made myself with more than 800 images, without a specific aim for a specific artist

Let pony town events implies pony town

ponified meme = meme, ponified

I’ve been watching the newly released Pony Channel in Samsung TV+, but I want to know how to file a report. A lot of Pony Life episodes, specially the first season, the voice clips aren’t correctly played. I wanna watch Pony Life again.

Hello Artists, can anyone draw EqG oc by request for me? ^^

DM me for details here or better in Discord: shadowdream

Background info: some characters have multiple tags which all imply each other, so posts always have all of those tagged names. This setup usually has the purpose of keeping people who prefer one name or the other happy, by not making any name disappear in favor of another. These can come about if a character had a fan name long before official media gave them an official name, or if different fan-sites or communities invented different names for background ponies, or if different official media gave different names, etc.

Now that Derpibooru recently implemented the ability to search by the number of tags of a type present on a post - such as, “this post has 2 character name tags” - the inter-implied multiple names interfere with using that number precisely. For example, to find a picture of Octavia and Vinyl Scratch and no other ponies, you’d need to search for character_tag_count:3 because Vinyl Scratch is always also tagged DJ Pon-3 and both tags are counted.

On Sept 28, 2024 I scraped the site tags for all the multi-name characters, and if I did it right, here are all of them:
(note: it looks like eye black used to be an alternate name for slapshot but was separated some time since I scraped the data?)

Cloudkicker is facing the viewer. Flying straight at them but she has her body turned up and around so her forelegs and hindlegs are spread out and belly showing. The idea is shes rushing to hug you. She has this wide grin exposing her teeth and she has a round crease line across her belly with her belly button below the line.

Kiriko from overwatch 2 and Fluttershy. the idea is fluttershy and Kiriko are sitting and petting the kitsune fox together.
fluttershy has this look of joy on her face while Kiriko is rolling her eyes but smiling too.

Granny Smith’s Shawl -> Shawl

Implication for scarf needs to be removed. I assume the implication is leftover from when Granny Smith’s Scarf was aliased into Granny Smith’s Shawl.

“A Day in the Light and Shadow”

In the grand halls of Canterlot Castle, the golden rays of the morning sun began to filter through the stained-glass windows, casting vibrant colors across the floor. But for once, these rays weren’t heralding the start of a busy day of royal duties. Instead, they found Celestia lounging on a balcony, sipping tea, her crown and regalia discarded to the side.

“Another beautiful sunrise, sister,” came Luna’s voice, stepping onto the balcony to join her. She, too, was without her usual royal armor, her mane flowing freely in the early morning breeze.

Celestia smiled, glancing at her younger sister. “Thank you, Luna. And I’m sure the stars last night were as stunning as ever.”

Luna gave a modest smile. “One does what one can.”

For the first time in what felt like ages, the royal sisters had cleared their schedules—no meetings, no court, no royal decrees. It was a rare day off, and they intended to enjoy every minute of it.

“So, what’s on our agenda today?” Luna asked, sitting next to Celestia, who was already pulling out a list with a mischievous grin.

“No politics, no nobles, and certainly no paperwork,” Celestia said, rolling up the scroll and tossing it aside. “Today, dear sister, we are free to explore the simpler joys of Equestria.”

Luna’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Finally! I tire of endless paperwork. Shall we visit Ponyville? Or perhaps the Everfree Forest for some adventure?”

“I was thinking something even more daring,” Celestia said, her grin widening.

Luna raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What could be more daring than braving the Everfree?”

With a wink, Celestia stood, her horn glowing as she conjured a portal in mid-air. On the other side was the image of a quaint little village far from the hustle of Canterlot—just beyond the borders of the Crystal Empire.

“Sister, what is this?” Luna asked, peeking through the portal.

“It’s a secret village,” Celestia said, stepping through the portal, her mane flowing like a waterfall of sunlight. “This is where I come when I need to unwind. I call it ‘Solar Springs.’”

Luna followed her sister through the portal, finding herself in a village surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests. It was beautiful—quiet and peaceful, with small cottages nestled among the trees. The air smelled of fresh pine and lavender, and a gentle river flowed through the center of the town.

“And what exactly do we do here?” Luna asked, her voice a mixture of curiosity and awe.

Celestia chuckled. “We blend in. No titles, no royal treatment. Just us, living like ordinary ponies for a day.”

Before Luna could protest, Celestia cast a spell that altered their appearances. Her mane became a soft pink, her wings and horn vanished, and she now looked like a regular earth pony. Luna found herself similarly transformed—her coat darkened to a deep purple, and her celestial mane now appeared as a simple light blue.

“I’m… just a normal pony,” Luna said, looking herself over in disbelief. “No one will recognize us?”

“Not at all,” Celestia replied. “It’s freeing, isn’t it?”

The sisters wandered through the village, chatting with the locals, who knew them only as “Sunny” and “Lulu.” They spent the morning sampling treats from the local bakery, helping a farmer tend to her crops, and even took a peaceful stroll along the riverbank. For once, the pressures of leadership were miles away, and they were simply two sisters enjoying life.

As the sun began its descent, the two found themselves sitting on a grassy hill overlooking the village, the sky painted in warm hues of orange and pink.

“I had forgotten what it was like to just… be,” Luna said, her voice soft. “It’s so easy to lose oneself in duty.”

Celestia nodded. “That’s why I come here when I can. It reminds me that we’re more than our crowns. We’re still just two sisters who love spending time together.”

Luna smiled, leaning against Celestia. “Perhaps next time we could visit a place of my choosing. I know of a lovely glade in the Dream Realm, where the stars are always within reach.”

Celestia chuckled. “I would love that, Luna.”

As the stars began to twinkle above them, the two sisters lay back in the grass, their eyes gazing up at the night sky. They didn’t need their crowns or their thrones in that moment. All they needed was each other, and the peace of a world where they could be free to live, laugh, and dream—if only for a day.

This is my first fanfic hope you like it!

I could not find the other thread I created about admitting to myself I am gay. I did not want to be annoying about it and never bumped it. Except I finally opened up to my mother today.

Our plans got cancelled and she lives an hour away. I wated to talk to her in person about this. Except reality and life happened. She went silent on the phone not really commenting much on what I had to say.

In the past I would fight these feelings I had. I envied people on this forum and others. I acted like a jerk and lost friends over this. I don’t want to fight it anymore. I hate pushing people away because I become romantically attracted to them.

I much rather admit my feelings and live with the posibility of being turned down. Its ok to be friends. Sometimes friends give the best comfort. If a guy accepts I will allow myself to experience things.

I am not looking for sympathy by making these threads. I just figured I update on things. If people can forgive me on here then this in itself will mean the world to me. Though I won’t blame you if you don’t. My best friend from Bronycon never spoke to me again. Its comming up on 10 years since we first became friends at Church. Roughly 2015…. However, the way I treated her over transitioning was aweful. I hold nothing against her for keeping her distance.

I’ve never uploaded an AI image before but I found a great image of Thunder the g5 royal guard.
I obviously try my best to include the needed information for an upload but someone I genuinely can’t find it. I can’t find a better source then this. I know you need like pronpter, engine, all that stuff. But I can’t figure that stuff out.

Should I upload it anyway even if I don’t know the specifics? I did try to look!

askprincessluna -> ask princess luna

There are enough of the first one tagged that I hesitate to just remove them all and retag as the one that has a category

arm bracelet -> armlet

arm bands -> arm band

kandi bracelet -> kandi
with acknowledgement that kandi can be worn in ways other than bracelets, but it doesn’t seem noteworthy enough to have a distinct tag

With G5 already coming to a close, I think it’s time to start this thread. Honestly, as a long time FIM fan, I feel a bit burned out of G5. It’s not so much the content itself that slowly drove me away from catching up any further, but rather how Hasbro absolutely mishandled it post-ANG. It was a very bumpy ride. All of this has me even more skeptical on how Hasbro plans with their brand revamp in 2026. I do have more to say, but I’d like to hear you guy’s thoughts on what G6 could or should be.

my tv turned on in the middle of the night for no reason and started playing a canterlot wedding in chinese, the scene where chrysalis was revealed.

what did they mean by this?
have i truly become a mareschizo?

I’ve heard of pony tulpas before and it’s essentially gaslighting yourself into thinking the characters are real, but in order to achieve that effect you have to do it deliberately and really focus on it. Is it possible to do that on accident?

I’m curious if ponies are invading anyone else’s life like this.

years ago as a kid i remember coming across a pony webcomic that in hindsight felt like an abridged series.
it was constructed from screencaps and followed the official episodes, but had text boxes detailing the thoughts of each character, revealing that they all hated each other and were using each other for their own gain, and each thought the others genuinely liked them
im fairly certain everyones thoughts were color-coded to their actual colors, except pinkie pie, who’s thought were caution sign yellow and black
i have no idea what it was called, named, where it was hosted, or anything else beyond that
any help in figuring out what comic this was is appreciated!
(also i apologize if this isnt the right section for this topic)

Hey, I haven’t found any topic really related to what I wanted to ask and wanted to create a topic about it.

So I was wondering since I see art being made of peoples OCs from time to time containing something that the owner of that OC doesn’t like or never wanted to be made and my question would be if there is a way of maybe preventing artworks of someones OC being uploaded containing something the OC owner never wanted to be made or uploaded here on derpi?

Lets for example take someone is drawing an art of someones OC in an artwork containing gore with the owner of that said OC not wanting it to have been made or uploaded, would it be possible for said OC owner to request a takedown or do something for it to be prevented to being uploaded 🤔

Hello pones!

In a “right-handed” kitchen, the fridge swings open from left-to-right. Thus the fridge goes on the right so the door opens out of the way, the pantries are put close to that, and the (right-handed) cook moves left to the stove or food prep, then left again to the sink.

A lot of kitchens in the show are laid out this way, albeit with more pantries and less fridges:

… except these ones:

The first is Sweet Apple Acres, where generations of horses have lived and which has four residents at the time of that screencap, so we can’t be sure the orientation of the kitchen means much. Most of the farm is very haphazard so it may just be the Apples don’t think about it much.

The second is the house Starlight and Sunburst were in during the flashback to their childhood, so I don’t know who actually works that kitchen.

But the last is Rarity’s kitchen, in a house that is clearly made just for her, where she is the only persistent resident. She is an “artiste” and there’s a big stereotype that artists are all lefties. And also, that huge fridge or whatever that is opens right-to-left, the way a lefty would open it.

So Rarity’s a lefty.
