Kirby Krackle Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I may just assign Hearth's Warming as a super big national founding/new years day assuming one more person says something like "No Kirby, it's not a stupid idea. And that's a swell tie you're wearing."I may put the fall of Nightmare Moon at an... earlier date? Something like five hundred years in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzalR75 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Excerpt from Historical Musical Perspectives of the Pony Culture by Perfect SongThere have been times that some ponies cultures have been lost in history, before the invention of inexpensive recording devices there have been many a song that was not passed down and has vanished to time. Some have been lost thanks to blending with the larger Canterlot culture that spread, others through moments of strife all the way back to pre-Hearth's Warming Eve....... One such culture's traditions was thought to be lost at a rather late time for years, the bat-winged pegasi culture had stayed relatively separated in many ways from other ponies by their being awake when other ponies slept. When Nightmare Moon appeared, many of the pegasi allied themselves with the Nightmare. This had created a strain of distrust of the daytime ponies from their night dwelling brethren, forcing many into slums and even then police of the other ponies watching their areas, breaking up gatherings that formed. Many of these ponies did not actually see what Nightmare Moon hoped to do as what they desired, but when pressed, most still said they still followed their missing Princess Luna. Many said it, almost as if it was a private defiant joke between them all that they had made a promise.It was found years after the bat-winged ponies had been accepted back into regular pony culture that there had been hidden speakeasies of the night ponies. Where they could not gather in public, to exchange music, dance, culture... they gathered behind hidden doors deep in caves and underground in guise of other store fronts. Where the day ponies music evolved, becoming elegant concertos and musicals, the night ponies had turned to smaller bands playing recreations of their old jigs and traditional songs, more suitable to dance and for drinking ponies to sing along with. It is here that we may have found that private joke's meaning from a song based on a previous classic jig. This version found is the first known recording of this song. It was found to be from a speakeasy in the bat-winged pegasi slum Dusk Gait, outside Thoroughbred City, named Night Vale. This rare recording for such an area was found to be made in the harsh winter of 512 HW where we first hear the howls of the bat-winged pegasi in what is still a popular pub song where the ponies of the night gather, where a pony exclaims out that "I Made a Promise to the Moon." (Okay, I wasn't going to name the speakeasy Night Vale after the podcast where I discovered this weather... then I looked up the definition of vale and found one of it's other meanings is a farewell. That had to happen then.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I may just assign Hearth's Warming as a super big national founding/new years day assuming one more person says something like "No Kirby, it's not a stupid idea. And that's a swell tie you're wearing."That *is* a swell tie, and it's not a stupid idea.I may put the fall of Nightmare Moon at an... earlier date? Something like five hundred years in?However, I would remind you that Starswirl the Bearded was already old and teaching ponies during the founding of Equestria, and he was still around after the banishment of Nightmare Moon. I would suggest a shorter time frame on that. Not terribly short - he is wizardly material and probably has a longer life span than most. But maybe a hundred or two hundred years? Long enough for the old unicorns to die out, the princesses to be discovered, and still be growing up and kinda young for their responsibility...And Azal -That's *awesome*. I love what you're doing with the batwinged pegasus pony history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzalR75 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thank you.And on Starswirl, he's a Mage teaching young immortals (1000+ years with no aging, immortal enough for the gals I run with). Monk cheese get ageless body, Wizards have a tendency to live as long as they are necessary but get kookier as they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Krackle Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 The less obvious reference is **** Yankees. I would imagine the Equestrian version of the play has Discord, as opposed to, y'know, Satan.Edit: Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that the profanity filter on this site is so diligent and hardworking, that I can't use the proper name of a well known Broadway show. I.. guess I'm thankful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TortoiseShell Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Bramble, Kirby assured me that you appreciate constructive criticism, so if you murder me, he's to blame.I started reading the main RP thread and Morning Glory's color scheme rubbed me the wrong way With Kirby's blessing, I went to the Pony Generator. Mind you this is what roused me enough to actually log in to Canterlot for the first time in..........you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Krackle Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 One post each before actual initiative starts. And Bramble, the sequence of events went as follows: I handed her my checkbook in hopes her @$$ had enough money in its account. I'm proud of that joke. And the dirty look it earned me.

Kirby Krackle Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Don't feel bad. I was neglecting it too. And by neglecting, I mean smashing my head with a brick to try and get words into Open Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm going to let you guys go first, because the plan was for Morning Glory to wait for a second signal before coming in! So she's just going to be peeking in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
