My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

'''''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic''''' (sometimes abbreviated to '''Friendship is Magic''', '''MLP:FIM''', or just '''FIM''') is an animated television series based on the long-running [[W:Hasbro|Hasbro]] toy franchise ''[[My Little Pony]]'', adapted for television by [[W:Lauren Faust|Lauren Faust]]. It is designated as the 'Fourth Generation' of ''My Little Pony''<ref>[http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4index.html G4 Friendship is Magic Ponies]</ref>, and is therefore also sometimes referred to as ''G4'', especially when discussing the franchise as a whole.

''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' has been a critical success among its target demographic of young girls, but is also known for having attracted a surprising periphery demographic of young adult males, known as the [[Brony]] fandom. As a result, it has become the subject of a large volume of [[fanfiction]], [[fan art]], websites, and has a thriving [[convention]] scene.

The first episode first aired on [[W:The Hub (TV channel)|The Hub]] on October 10, 2010 as one of the channel's flagship shows. Season 2 premiered on September 17, 2011. Season 3 premiered on November 10, 2012. Season 4 premiered on November 23, 2013.

== Plot ==

The show takes place in the magical land of Equestria, populated by a variety of magical creatures, including the titular ponies. In the opening episode, we are introduced to Twilight Sparkle, a highly intelligent but also rather sheltered unicorn pony, who is concerned about a prophecy predicting the imminent return of the evil Nightmare Moon. Despite her warning, her mentor Princess Celestia refuses to take her seriously, and instead sends her to the nearby town of Ponyville with the task of making some friends.

Although she fails in this task at first, the return of Nightmare Moon sets in motion a chain of events which unites her with five other ponies - Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash - who band together to defeat the villainess. The six discover themselves to be the embodiments of the six Elements of Harmony, and after this, become firm friends. The show largely focuses around these six (referred to as the 'Mane Six' by fans).

The show is largely slice-of-life, with intermittent "adventure" episodes. Episodes typically revolve around problems faced by one or more of the characters, and the moral lessons that they learn in the attempt to find a solution. In seasons 1 and 2, these morals would be presented quite directly as letters dictated by Twilight (and later by other characters) to Princess Celestia at the end of each episode. In seasons 3 and 4, this has been largely dropped.

== Races ==

Equestria and its surrounding territories are home to many different sentient races:

* '''[[Pony]]''' - Equestrian ponies are often brightly colored, and all receive a unique, distinguishing magical mark (a 'cutie mark') on their flanks when they discover what makes them unique. There are several races (sometimes called tribes) of pony:
** '''Earth pony''' - a 'normal' pony without horn or wings. Implied to naturally possess great strength and stamina, as well as an innate talent with plants, animals, and rocks.
** '''[[Pegasus]]''' - a pony with feathered wings. Capable of flight, and with an innate ability to manipulate clouds and weather. Pegasi can naturally walk on clouds, and many live on them; there is an entire Pegasus city called Cloudsdale, high above Equestria.
** '''[[Unicorn]]''' - a pony with a single horn on its forehead. Unicorns can use their horns to perform magic. All unicorns can perform simple telekinesis, using their magic to levitate and hold objects in the air. Unicorns can also cast other magic spells, generally ones related to their special talent. Despite the mythological origins of the unicorn, Equestrian unicorns are considered equine, and aside from the horn have a normal pony body.
** '''[[Alicorn]]''' - a winged unicorn pony. Considered to be a combination of earth, pegasus, and unicorn ponies, with the abilities of all three. Alicorns in Equestria are extremely rare - only four are known to exist - and are revered by the populace. It is possible for an ordinary pony to become an alicorn through a form of ascension. Alicorns appear to automatically have royal status in Equestria, and all known alicorns are princesses.
** '''[[Bat]] pony''' - similar to a pegasus, but with slitted eyes and batlike wings. Bat ponies have only been seen in one episode and have never been named or identified, but have a following among fans.
** '''Crystal pony''' - a pony with a crystalline body, but which otherwise seems to be identical to an ordinary Equestrian pony. Crystal ponies have three tribal variations: crystal earth pony, crystal pegasus, and crystal unicorn. They inhabit the Crystal Empire, but have been seen visiting other locations.
* '''[[Griffon]]''' - half [[eagle]], half [[lion]] hybrids. Griffons appear to have their own society, but nonetheless intermingle with ponies on rare occasions. In the fandom, they are popularly assumed to have their own country, the Griffon Kingdom.
* '''Changeling''' - an insectoid pony-like creature with the ability to disguise itself as any pony, and which feeds off of love. There appears to be a very large population of changelings, but they have only been seen once in the series so far. Changelings have a bee-like social structure, with a Queen who rules the hive.
* '''[[Zebra]]''' - one zebra, Zecora, is a secondary character in the show. Zebra are explicitly stated not to be ponies, and mostly live in a far off land (heavily implied to be the Equestrian equivalent of Africa).
* '''[[Minotaur]]''' - a species of bipedal [[bull]] with fingered hands.
* '''[[Dragon]]''' - Equestria is full of dragons of many different varieties, although the winged western variety is most typical. Dragons can grow to enormous sizes and are known for their greed and hoarding habits. They appear to be impervious to high temperatures, and can breathe fire.
* '''Diamond Dog''' - a bipedal species of [[dog]] which lives underground and mines for gemstones. They appear to have a culture, military organisation, and trade economy.
* '''[[Donkey]]''' - a species which lives among the pony population. Little is known about them, but they appear to be treated like any other pony.
* '''[[Cow]]''' - known to be sapient (one is known by name, and is seen entering a shop), but at other times, are herded like cattle.
* '''[[Horse]]''' - horses are briefly seen in one season 3 episode. They appear to have their own territory (Saddle Arabia) and are closer to real horses than Equestrian ponies. Ponies also often use horse-related metaphors (eg. 'hearts strong as horses'), suggesting that the two races have been close in the past.

==Characters==

[[File:Ponies.png|right|300px]]
=== Main ===

*'''Twilight Sparkle''' - a purple unicorn (and later alicorn) pony. Extremely studious, highly intelligent, but somewhat socially inept at first. She joined Ponyville as their new librarian, before later becoming a princess. She represents the Element of Magic.
*'''Applejack''' - an orange earth pony. A hardworking apple farmer with country mannerisms. She owns the Sweet Apple Acres farm and has a large extended family all over Equestria. She represents the Element of Honesty.
*'''Rainbow Dash''' - a blue pegasus pony with a rainbow-striped [[mane]] and tail. She is athletic, tomboyish, and a very talented flyer who dreams of joining the world-famous flight team, the Wonderbolts. She represents the Element of Loyalty.
*'''Pinkie Pie''' - a pink earth pony. She is incessantly cheerful, hyperactive, and loves to throw parties. Infamous for her tendency to break the [[wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]] and perform cartoon-like feats that baffle even her friends. She represents the Element of Laughter.
*'''Fluttershy''' - a yellow pegasus pony. She is very timid and soft-spoken, and a poor flyer, usually preferring to remain on the ground. She has a talent for understanding and communicating with animals. She represents the Element of Kindness.
*'''Rarity''' - a white unicorn pony with a stylish purple mane and [[tail]]. She is a self-made fashionista who runs her own business, and dreams of being a part of high society. She represents the Element of Generosity.

=== Secondary ===

*'''Spike''' - a small baby dragon, he is Twilight Sparkle's assistant and sidekick. He can breathe fire, and also has the magical ability to teleport items using his fire breath. This ability is commonly used to send messages to Princess Celestia (and can be used in reverse, to receive messages back).
*'''Princess Celestia''' - an white alicorn pony. Ruler of Equestria, who raises and lowers the sun at dawn and sunset. She is thousands of years old, and Twilight Sparkle's personal mentor.
*'''Princess Luna''' - a dark blue alicorn pony. The sister of Princess Celestia and co-ruler of Equestria. She raises and lowers the moon at sunset and dawn. She is also the guardian of pony dreams, and can freely enter a pony's dreamscape while they are asleep. She was formerly banished to the moon for 1000 years, when her jealousy turned her into the evil Nightmare Moon.
*'''Apple Bloom''', '''Sweetie Belle''', and '''Scootaloo''' - three fillies collectively known as '''The Cutie Mark Crusaders'''. None of them have yet discovered their special talents, and so lack their cutie marks.
*'''Derpy Hooves''' - a gray pegasus pony with a blonde mane. Recognisable by her eyes, which are wall-eyed (facing in opposite directions). Originally an animation error,{{clarify}} she quickly became a fan favorite and was brought back several times by the animators for background roles.

:In season 2, she was given a speaking role, which proved highly controversial as some complained that it was insensitive to the disabled. This resulted in Derpy being given a long absence from the show, but she was eventually brought back in season 4. She is widely considered to be the mascot of the Brony fandom.

=== Supporting/recurring ===

* '''Diamond Tiara''' and '''Silver Spoon''' - a pair of rich fillies who bully the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
* '''Snips''' and '''Snails''' - a pair of colts, known for their stupidity
* '''The Apple Family''' - a large family of ponies including Applejack, Apple Bloom, their brother '''Big Macintosh''', and their grandmother '''Granny Smith''', among others.
* '''Mr. and Mrs. Cake''' - a couple who operate the bakery where Pinkie Pie lives, and later give birth to twins '''Pound Cake''' and '''Pumpkin Cake'''.
* '''Zecora''' - a zebra who lives in the nearby Everfree Forest and always speaks in rhyme.
* '''Mayor Mare''' - the Mayor of Ponyville, who officiates in matters pertaining to the running of the town.
* '''Ms. Cheerilee''' - the local school teacher.
* '''Shining Armor''' - Twilight's brother and leader of the Royal Guard. He is married to '''Princess Cadance''', Celestia's niece.
* '''Princess Cadance''' - a pink alicorn. Twilight Sparkle's former babysitter, and Ruler of the Crystal Empire.
* '''Spitfire''' - leader of the '''Wonderbolts''', Equestria's top pegasus flight team.
* '''Dr. Whooves''' - Also known as '''Dr. Hooves''' or '''Time Turner''', is a male Earth pony with an [[hourglass]] cutie mark. The character is based on [[Doctor Who]], the main character of the [[BBC]] show of the same name. With the same fan back-up as Derpy, this character was adopted as canon by the show's crew.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/jwp94/im_jayson_thiessen_supervising_director_of_mlpfim/c2fq2na ''I'm Jayson Thiessen, supervising director of MLP:FiM, AMA''] interview on [[Reddit]]. Retrieved December 15, 2014.</ref> Although Derpy sometimes plays the role of the Doctor's [[W:Companion (Doctor Who)|companion]] in fan and official art media, the actual show has featured a pony with a '''Rose''' cutie mark that follows him around ('''[[W:Rose (Doctor Who)|Rose Tyler]]''', an actual human companion on the BBC show).

== Bronies and Pegasisters ==

''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'' has found a strong following among adults and older teens, despite the target audience being young girls. This has been attributed to a variety of factors, most often the quality of writing and animation on the show.

A fan of the show is known as a '''Brony''', a portmanteau of the words '''Bro''' and '''Pony''', for male fans,<ref name=WP>[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] at Know Your Meme: Fans outside the show's demographic, especially teen and adult male fans, have come to be known as "bronies"</ref> and '''Pegasister''', a portmanteau of the words '''Pega(sus) and '''[[W:Sister|sister]]''' for females.<ref>[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pegasister Pegasister] on Urban Dictionary</ref> Although the term is masculine in origin, it is considered to "gender neutral" to cover fans of all genders.

== MLP:FiM and Furries ==

The creators of the show have reciprocated the feelings of the [[fandom]], referencing Bronies in the ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo Equestria Girls]'' promo and even marketing directly to the adult demographic<ref>[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/04/madman-dvd-dubbed-brony-box.html MADMAN DVD Dubbed "The Brony Box"] at Equestria Daily</ref>. Probably the most significant call out came in the canonisation of the character Derpy, whose name and personality was collectively created by the fandom. Other fan names have become canon outside of the TV show such as the name Lyra being adopted in the toy line.<ref>[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Lyra_Heartstrings#Depiction_in_merchandise Lyra Heartstrings] on Friendship is Magic Wiki</ref> Derpy - along with other fan favourites [[wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Whooves]], Octavia, Carrot Top, Berry Punch, Colgate, Vinyl Scratch/DJ Pon-3, Lyra and Bon-Bon - appeared on the poster distributed at [[wikipedia:San Diego Comic-Con International|Comic Con]] 2011.

However, it is important to note that Bronies and Furries are two different things. Being one does not mean you also belong to the other.

The Brony fandom has a significant crossover with the Furry fandom. According to the 2014 State of the Herd Report<ref>[http://www.herdcensus.com/2014%20STATE%20OF%20THE%20HERD%20REPORT.pdf 2014 State of the Herd Report]</ref>, 21% of Bronies consider themselves Furries as well. Many Furry artists have branched into pony art, and several of the Brony fandom's celebrities are or have been involved in the Furry fandom in the past.

Many things familiar to Furries have equivalents in the Brony fandom:

* An extremely active art scene - one of the best-known and most active image boards is [https://derpiboo.ru// Derpibooru].
* Costuming - ranging from simple earbands and tails to full pony [[fursuits]].
* Meetups - similar to [[furmeet]]s, and varying from casual get-togethers to gatherings of hundreds of people.
* Conventions - many take place every year, all over the world.
* Avatars - like [[fursona]]s, many Bronies have a [[ponysona]] to represent them in the fandom.
* Vocabulary - like the [[furspeech]] of the Furry fandom (or indeed, most fandoms) a vocabulary of fandom-specific words exists. Some of the terms are taken directly from the show, such as "anypony" (anybody), or "fillies and gentlecolts" (ladies and gentlemen). Others derive from memes (for example: 'plot' to mean a pony's backside).
* An adult scene. Sexuality is explored in the Brony fandom as freely as in the Furry fandom, and some aspects of the vocabulary reflect this: most notably, "clop" being the Brony equivalent of [[yiff]], which is also used as a euphemism for adult material. <ref>{{cite web|url = http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wingboner-clopping|title = Wingboner / Clopping|publisher = Know Your Meme|author = "Epic Fail Guy is a Brony", "RandomMan" et. al}}</ref>.
* [[Troll]]s - sometimes nicknamed 'parasprites' in the Brony fandom.
* A writing community, mostly organised on [http://fimfiction.net Fimfiction], with a few also using Fanfiction.net.
* Roleplay - this generally takes place on forums and IRC.
* News sites - [http://equestriadaily.com Equestria Daily] is the biggest and most active.

There are also a few differences between the scenes:

* a heavier emphasis on music. Although there are a number of Furry musicians, the Brony fandom's musical output is comparatively more popular among members of the fandom, and music is regarded as important as visual art by most. There are a large number of Brony musicians who create new music and remixes regularly, often releasing entire albums. The most popular Brony song as of 2014 is The Living Tombstone's ''Discord'' remix, which has more than ten million views on YouTube.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPfMb50dsOk Discord (Remix)]</ref>
* Cosplay (that is, specifically costuming as canon characters) is more widespread, as the show contains a very large number of characters.
* Younger demographic - the Brony fandom's age demographic is skewed well toward youth, with a large proportion in their teens or even younger. As a result, there are efforts to keep the fandom child-friendly and to segregate the adult and non-adult sides. Many of the major conventions are family-friendly, and encourage children and parents.

In 2014, Lee Tockar, a voice actor on the show, was a [[Guest of Honor]] at [[Anthrocon 2014]].<ref>[http://www.anthrocon.org/node/17345/2014-guest-honor-lee-tockar Official announcement] on the Anthrocon website</ref>

==Awards==

''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'' won the [[Ursa Major Award]] for Best Anthropomorphic Dramatic Short or Series in [[2011 Ursa Major Awards|2011]], [[2012 Ursa Major Awards|2012]], and [[2013 Ursa Major Awards|2013]].

Ponysona

97.117.252.227: /* Design and look */

{{unref}}
[[File:Rough Spirit.png|right|thumb|''Rough Spirit'', ponysona created via Generalzoi's "Pony Creator".]]
A '''ponysona''' or '''pony [[Original character|OC]]''', is [[W:Fan|fan]]-created, usually by a [[brony]] or [[furry]] brony, [[pony]] [[character]] based on the animated characters from [[Hasbro]]'s [[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]] TV show.{{fact}}

== Design and look ==

Although the ponysona's basic character design is based on the main species' look and feel from the show, ponysonas are not subject to canon, and can be designed or customized in all manners possible such as furries' [[fursonas]]. Ponysonas usually vary in base type, either being a [[pegasus]], [[unicorn]], [[earth pony]], [[crystal pony]], [[bat pony]] or [[alicorn]]s or rarely [[dragons]] like [[Spike the dragon]] or [[changeling]]s like [[Queen Chrysalis]].

Ponysonas can be written or media created characters, such as with the [http://generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Creator-Full-Version-254295904 Pony Creator], a [[W:Adobe Flash|flash]] game by [http://generalzoi.deviantart.com Generalzoi], hosted on [[DeviantART]].

== Ponysonas and furry ==

If the brony is also [[furry]], their ponysona may represent/be their main fursona as well.
