Corsair

It lives! It lives!!! Hide the wimmins and chil'ren!!

If the RP took place after the first update, it was lost. The fix that was implemented this week wiped out any posts made after the first failed update. The site admins posted warnings that this would happen, and advised folks to back up their posts. We're sorry you lost part of your RP, but we won't be able to recover it.

Hippogriffs and perytons already in the canon too.

I'm a big fan of WWII-era aircraft. My personal favorite is the Chance Vought F4U Corsair. Been using Corsair or a variant as my username for years

I've seen many variations on races for human Mane 6. One artist I've seen portrays Fluttershy as middle-eastern, wearing a habib. Its just the whim of the artist making it. Race is meaningless when it comes to humanizing pastel ponies.

Fluttershy was frozen for a moment when she felt Applejack's lips touch her own. When the earth pony pulled away, Fluttershy staggered for a moment. Her knees felt weak... her cheeks felt like they were on fire... her brain felt like it had shut down. However, she had the presence of mind to turn back to Night Glider. "I'll... be right over here... until you are done..." she said to the other pegasus, haltingly. Fluttershy weaved a path toward Granny Smith and Apple Strudel. Her legs were wobbling, and crossing each other at random intervals. When she reached the elderly ponies, her eyes rolled up, and she stiffened before keeling over. As she hit the ground, though, she had the faintest smile on her face... ​

Fluttershy wasn't sure how much longer she could keep up this act. Forcing herself to smile and calmly talk to Applejack about k-k-k-kissing her was fraying her very last nerve. She could barely hear her friend speaking to her over the pounding of her heart in her ears. Finally, a small, almost infinitesimal voice in her head prompted her just get it over with! Gulping, she stuttered out "Ok-k-kay..." Then she squeezed her eyes shut, puckered her lips, and waited for the inevitable... ​

"Surely you can't be serious!" "I am serious... and don't call me Shirly."

Fluttershy's fear and nervousness was now warring with her guilt. Oh goodness, the LAST thing she wanted to do was drive off Applejack's business! It was just one kiss... from one of her closest friends... she could do this... she could do... Oh why did there have to be so many ponies here! She'd much prefer it if she could somehow do this away from the others in line, and Applejack's family. But, that could make the customers suspect something and... Oh!!! This was so frustrating! But, that frustration was enough to push her forward. Responding to Applejack's 'do-over,' Fluttershy said, "Oh, Hello Applejack!" in a casual, yet forced tone. Then. raising her voice a bit, she said, stiffly, "Only 10 bits for two bushels? That is a very good deal!" As Fluttershy pulled the bits from her coin purse, she realized that Night Glider had asked if she had to pay anything to stay with her! The small laugh she gave at that relaxed her a little more, and she turned back to the dark pegasus. "Oh, Night Glider, you don't have to do anything for me, and you certainly don't have to pay anything! I'm helping out a friend, and that is payment enough!" She then turned back to Applejack. Fluttershy gritted her teeth, and said, "Here you go, 10 bits! Now, I'm supposed to get a k-k-k-kiss...?" She forced a smile onto her face, but her eyes were dilated in barely suppressed panic... ​

((OOC: Breaking response to Night Glider and and AJ into before and after freak out)) Talking to Night Glider, Fluttershy found herself in an unusual situation: Comforting another pony that seemed shy and nervous. It was usually other ponies comforting her! "Oh, don't worry! I'm happy to help out a friend!" she told the dark pegasus, putting a hoof on her shoulder. With a big grin, she added, "Just wait until I introduce you to all of the animals!!" * * * * * * * * * * Every nerve in Fluttershy's body was screaming at her to fly away, but at the same time, her intense embarrassment froze her in place. Her eyes dilated, and she imagined that the eyes of all the creatures in the line were staring at her. Most customers were arriving, making the feeling worse. Eventually, the impulse to move would take to the fore, but for now it was a stalemate. Thankfully, Applejack had some experience dealing with Fluttershy's panic attacks. The orange mare soothed the flustered pegasus, easing her wings down. As Applejack explained, Fluttershy's heart began to slow. "I... I guess that doesn't sound so bad..." she managed. This was still uncomfortable, but at least it wouldn't be a kiss kiss. As she caught her breath, she read the signs closer. "Um, Applejack?" she asked the farmer. "I-if I'm getting two bushels, does that mean it has to be two kisses?" ​

Fluttershy smiled encouragingly at Night Glider. The pegasus sounded as though she were nervous, or at least unused to talking to ponies. No real surprise, considering the conditions she had lived under in Starlight Glimmer's village. Remembering the distance that they had traveled to reach the village when she and her friends had gone, Fluttershy could sympathize with Night Glider's weariness. "Goodness, I can understand! I know I couldn't fly that far, day or night, but riding on trains can tire you out just as much!" Hesitantly, she offered "Well, um, if you need to rest, you could stay with me, or maybe one of the other girls. And I'm sure Rainbow Dash could help you with the Weather Bureau paperwork, if you need help, I mean." Fluttershy was a little confused when Night Glider referred to 'Sanctuary.' However, after a moment, she realized what the mare meant. "Oh! You named the village!" she said in understanding. The little settlement had just been called 'Our Town' originally. Smiling. she added, "It's very nice! And appropriate, I think." It was only then that Fluttershy turned her attention back to Applejack. "Oh! No wonder you have such a crowd!" she said brightly. "I just need my usual two bushels, and..." Fluttershy trailed off as the last part of what Applejack has said finally sank in. "W-w-what? K-k-kiss??" she stuttered, her eyes going wide. Her eyes locked on the signs on the booth, actually reading them for the first time. She was suddenly very aware of the other ponies in line. There were at least six ponies in line behind her, and a griffon that had just arrived as well. Not to mention all of AJ's family with her... Fluttershy began breathing hard, her wings flared as her flight response kicked in involuntarily. "I...I... I couldn't... I mean... in front of... I... I'll just come back later..." she stammered, but found her hooves unable to move... ​

Yes, really old thread, and that's why the link doesn't work anymore. Ponibooru used to be the main Pony art site, but it shut down way back during S2 i think. So someone else bought the URL and linked it to some sewage site. I've got a download of all of the clean art from that site in storage

Fluttershy drew back with a blush at Presteza's suggestion that she was 'cute.' Despite her brief career as a model, the pegasus had trouble thinking of herself in those terms. She gave the artist a weak smile when asked if she would pose with he snake friends. Presteza had painted her once before, and the artist's speed had made the expirience... well, not terrible. "Um, I, guess that would be OK..." she answered. "B-but I've never heard of anypony wanting to paint snakes!" Looking around, Fluttershy was surprised to see she was at the front of the line! Both of the princesses had departed already, and Applejack was hailing her from the stand. Smiling at her friend, she stepped forward. "Hello Applejack!" she greeting her friend happily. Taking notice of the other members of AJ's family nearby, she said, "And Hello Mrs. Smith! Oh, and Mr. Strudel!" The older stallion was not usualy a resident of Ponyville, but she recognized him from previous visits. Fluttershy's eyes then rose... and rose, to meet the eyes of Applejack's brother. Her very tall, very... muscular brother. "H-hi... Big Macintosh..." she told the red stallion. She found herself staring for just a moment. She heard little Applebloom's voice shouting... something about the sale that was going on, but most of the message went in one ear and out the other... Fluttershy forced her focus back to Applejack. With a smile she commented, "My, you really seem to be doing good business today! Are you having a sale today?" She pulled back a moment to look up at the sign above the booth, but she found herself distracted by a dark pegasus mare coming in for a landing, and crashing right into Applebloom! Her jaw dropped open in surprise; she recognized this mare! "Oh my goodness! NIght Glider? What are you doing here?" she asked, excitedly. ​

Oh please... any "serious discussion" on this is speculation at best. Yes, Scootaloo probably has parents living in Ponyville. We know next to nothing about her home life, except that she has a house and a room. When one of the writers decides to do a Scootaloo story, we might find more. Same with Fluttershy's family.

You guys are taking me way too seriously. [emoji14]

All lies! Two earth pony parents having a unicorn and a pegasus? Ridiculous! Not to mention that Mrs Cake was never shown as pregnant, and Mr. Cake's weak explanation? The twins are adopted!

I just watched Disney's Hercules last night. I'd never actually watched it from the very beginning. Theres a scene where Zeus creates Pegasus from a few clouds. This prooves my theory!! Pegusii are born directly from the clouds, and have no parents! [emoji14]
