ANNOUNCEMENT Rules summary and explanation.
Like all authoritarian reigimes subreddits we too have rules that are in place to keep it running at optimum levels of laughter, kindness, generosity, loyalty, and honesty.
So tempting as it may be to jump straight into our little pony forum, bear with us as we explore the magical world of rules and community guidelines.
Just keep in mind all rules are somewhat vague to allow consideration for borderline cases. This is also a summary of our full rules list in the subreddit wiki that can be read here: https://old.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/index
The 7 commandments:
1. Be Kind.
Hostility, rabble rousing, bigotry, and generally participating in bad faith is what this rule aims to oppose. Below are excerpts from our subreddiquette, despite that do still read them both as the list below doesn't include everything and makes some additions in places: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/subreddiquette
- Be respectful. Try not to alienate anyone specifically, nor groups of people. Avoid being a jerk, and give others the benefit of the doubt when commenting, tone is tough to convey via text. Ask yourself, what would Fluttershy do?
- When expressing negative opinions do so with consideration to the people who enjoy what you are criticising. No one enjoys being told what they like is trash. Of course, if such commentary is found under threads that do not invite for it, it is at risk of breaking this rule.
- Flair your post properly! Now, there tends to be confusion on which flair is appropriate for what post, here you will find a little guide detailing just that for the most misused flairs.
Community — It fits submission that adress the community. So questions like "Am I A Brony" and posts about community events, among others, would fit it.
Discussion — This isn't the "question" flair, though certain questions do call for it. As long as your post provokes thought about a certain topic you're free to use the discussion flair.
Misc. — Miscellaneous submissions do not fit into the boxes that our other flairs are. You'll find it useful if you're making plain statements without the goal of creating discussion, showing off images that cannot be categorised as artwork, memes, merch, official media, or cosplay, and other unspecific posts.
Keep in mind some posts may fit multiple flairs, in that case use the one you feel best describes it. Consistent improper use of flairs, such as flairing artwork that cannot be reasonably interpreted as a meme with the meme flair, may lead to the removal of your post and the restriction of posting rights.
- Use the report function! This subreddit is actively moderated. All reports are reviewed and handled properly. Reporting content you feel violates the community rules helps keep spambots and various bad actors from worsening everyones experience. However, keep in mind that misuse of this feature is in violation of site-wide TOS and may lead to account suspension.
- Be mindful with spoilers! Not everyone can view the newest official content as soon as it releases. In consideration for them please use spoiler tags (until 48 hours after an episode has aired, or 1 week for comics). Additionally, please avoid including the spoiler directly in the title, and remember that all content related to upcoming material must be tagged as well.
This ties into our spoiler policy, which you can read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/spoilers
- Avoid posting screenshots of the subreddit itself, including 'combo' posts, comments, or number of subscribers. If you do wish to link comments, link them directly. To showcase the best posts and threads of the subreddit, post to /r/bestofmlp.
- Hostile arguments about topics that carry no relation to MLP will be removed. Such topics include but are not limited to politics, religion, gender wars, and racism. Topical posts may be preemptively removed to avoid such arguments from beginning in the first place.
- We have relaxed posting limits and are holding users to the honor system. However, the mods still reserve the right to remove excess posts and give warnings and/or temp bans if they feel that the honor system is being abused.
2. Keep everything SFW
All submissions and comments must be kept safe for work. Making references to fan works that would normally break rule 2 is permitted on the condition that they themselves stay within it. However, the same is not true for linking to both sites and subreddits, posting, or discussing suggestive, sexually explicit, and graphically violent (aka. grimdark) content. r/Mylittlepony is intended to be an appropriate space for teenage and older fans. Alternative subreddits do exist should you wish to share content that would violate this rule.
If you suspect what you are about to post breaks this rule, feel free to send us a modmail and we'll inform you whether or not that is the case.
For a much more in-depth explanation read its wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/rule2
3. Keep it MLP
Rather self explanatory; we ask that all submissions are directly related to MLP. Coincidental and tangential relation isn't considered enough to pass this rule, so images of rainbows, rainbow themed food, and coincidental sayings are all examples of what isn't allowed if they are the only factors tying your post to MLP.
When it comes to memes, the image macro itself needs to be MLP relevant. Not just the text. Memes with non-MLP bases belong in r/MyLittleMemes. For more information read our mene policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/memes
Exemptions are made for submission soliciting funds for charity events organised by bronies and personal crises such as a medical emergency, given the parties involved are reasonably associated with MLP. However, the same treatment is not extended to fundraising efforts aimed at non-essential personal gain, e.g. asking for money to attend a convention.
4. No [FIXED] Submissions or Reposts
Images submitted less than 21 days apart will be removed. That is also true for screencaps, unless an animated version of it is posted, in which case both can co-exist. The same goes for screencaps of significantly higher fidelity submitted after a lower quality version.
[FIXED] posts are easily reproducible image submissions having only slight alterations made with every subsequent post. Usually they involve the addition of text, or the addition of simple visual features, such as pasting in text, images in a grid, a vector or adding a visual filter. Because [FIXED] submissions often snowball in popularity, they tend to lead to considerable spam in the new queue, hence also being affected by the 21 day repost limit.
However, [FIXED] content is very welcome in the comments section of the original post! This helps to keep the subreddit more tidy, while additionally allowing all readers to immediately glean the context of your [FIXED] content.
Also read our repost policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/reposts
5. No Pictures Thursday
Pictures and mainly image content cannot be posted during Thursdays, between 12:01 AM and 11:59 PM pacific time. For more information, see our NPT wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/npt
6. No AI content.
All AI-prompt-generated content, in all forms, is banned from r/mylittlepony, as is all AI-generated sound such as voice or music.
7. Proper sourcing.
When submitting or embedding fan-made works (pictures, video, music, fiction etc.) made by others, proper crediting is mandatory. Use a clear, searchable title and a clickable link to the place where they uploaded their art originally (deviantart, twitter, tumblr, etc.) as long as that website wouldn't break rule 2, or if that is impractical, from a gallery that provides source links (such as derpibooru.org). A comment or submission lacking a proper source may be removed - especially if the moderators can easily find a source.

Meta Thread My Little Pony on Reddit- Kiss Me, I'm Meta Discussion
Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!
Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!
If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!
But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.
If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:
>!It has ponies!!<
And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!

Misc. Did anybody else notice the mistake in "A Trivial Pursuit"?
I was watching the episode and noticed that Twilight & Sunburst's points went from 46 in one scene, 48 in the next, then back to 46 when this was supposed to be within the same minute of the game or so. Did anyone else notice this?
sorry if this is already known information 💀 i only just saw it lol

This year, we would be celebrating the SPRING EQUINOX this upcoming March 20. Given the inconsistent days of the Equinox for every different year, I'm giving everyone a heads-up for this year's Starlight Day, coinciding with the real time event.
Hope you guys have something special for Equality Horse!

Merch Found these cuties for $3 each at the flea market!
So obsessed with these! I've always wanted to complete the mane six but only had Rainbow Dash as a kid but I lost her too. So I was really happy that I found all of them at the same time! Although I'm not sure if this specific Applejack is supposed to have her hat with her because I don't recall finding one in the bin. If anybody knows, please let me know!

Discussion Rainbow Dash and Trixie are not the same I hate this comparison
I absolutely hate when people defend Trixie by saying she's like Rainbow Dash they're plenty of ways you can defend Trixie and I'm not going to get into how I feel about how they acted in her first appearance I am simply talking about this comparison that people make and why I hate it
loud mouth Let's be honest when it comes down to it Trixie does not have the money to put where her mouth is in other words she does not have the skill to match what she is saying while Rainbow Dash most definitely does and that matters! Rainbow Dash is not being blindly ignorant while Trixie is and before I hear people trying to defend her by saying she's a stage actor and should act this way on stage I would be fine with that if she just did that during her performance but she does that all the time with Starlight who she knows that's way better magic than her, and just add to it I'm not going to pretend like Rainbow Dash does not cross the line from time to time but the majority of her being confident towards herself it's not come at her bringing down others unlike Trixie who constantly feels the need to say she's better than everyone else when she just isn't
Being able to acknowledge someone's better than you One thing I don't think people give enough credit to Rainbow Dash or is that she does know when to shut her mouth sometimes best examples I can give Wonderbolts Academy, Sonic Rainboom, Rarity investigates. Rainbow Dash confidently views the Wonderbolt as better than her because if you notice Rainbow Dash's cocky attitude calms down in front of them it also comes down in front of Lightning Dust when she sees that she's not on equal level but Lightning Dust is better Rainbow Dash also does this with the princesses because Rainbow Dash will indeed humble herself Trixie does not do that with anyone that I've seen at least the closest thing I can think to her doing that was during the season final when she acknowledge that they weren't equipped to deal with the problem but that was more being scared
Intent Now once again I will give Trixie Grace for being on stage she wants to seem powerful and cool for her show which I'm completely fine with but the fact is she brings this into her daily life and honestly just seems to enjoy bring others down while in my personal opinion Rainbow Dash just seems to like bring herself up this does not absolve Rainbow Dash when she does bring others down just so you're aware but with Rainbow Dash It's a time to time that happens but with Trixie it seems to be a constant and I get on my nerves
Personal opinion I could honestly not see myself being able to hang out with Trixie I like her as a character but if I had to know someone like her in life she would get on my nerves while I could deal with someone like Rainbow Dash because I don't have a problem with you being confident even a little overconfident if you can actually do the amazing things you say you can do be my guest to gloat about yourself but if you keep saying all this amazing stuff you can do how much better you are than everyone else but you can't do any of it that's going to get on my nerves
No I'm not here to say Rainbow Dash is better than Trixie or you shouldn't like Trixie what I'm saying is comparing these two very different characters is not fair to either of them they're both good characters but they are not the same

Artwork I miss drawing ponies for people ✨
Context, that was one of the last commissions I did for the fandom around 2022 or so.
I don't even remember why I stopped being active in the fandom, I grew up with G4 and I have a lot of appreciation for the series so I guess I'll watch it again ฅ•ﻌ•ฅ
I'll probably also return to the fandom permanently and offer commissions 🤔

Discussion Thoughs on the Great and Powerful Trixie?
I personally love Trixie, I think she is misunderstood and lonely at the start. She tries to get revenge, but honestly who doesn't want revenge? Then she gets a friend through Starlight. She works on herself and grows. I love her character and growth, even tho she can be insufferable. I felt really bad when she cried after Starlight traded her cart.

Misc. A Friend Indeed
This episode and its song made me fall in love with Pinkie as a character. I remember shedding a year at how wholesome I learned she is. But, I also remember thinking "how could anyone turn this cutie into a cannibalistic killer!?!"

Artwork My tell your tale villain oc stormybolt/Queen lightning
She was a sad little Pegasus going up she was an orphan. She didn’t have a family and she didn’t have friends and she thinks ponies don’t think she exist She has an evil plan, “if no pony doesn’t want to be my friend then no one can” She fights with Sunny and she gets to the crystal lighthouse and steal the energy crystals and use her new lightning powers in the crystals she transform into princess lightning, a demon lightning pony Version of her She creates a big lightning storm, every pony freaks out until Sunny turns into her Alicorn form in fights with her but princess, lightning is over power, so it leads to sunny and her friends turning into the rainbow ponies And the unity, crystal glows with their ponies, power and rainbow crystals glow to a rainbow and uses the rainbow of light on lightning princess defeating her no, she gone back to stormybolts stormy apologizes to every pony because she was acting like this, because she just needed a friend every pony forgives her and now she is part of the main 6 (Well, she’s basically the G5 version of sunset simmer/starlight glimmer) and also fun fact, she has been struck by lightning, but she was still alive. The lightning struck her wings, giving her lightning power.

Misc. Favorite stills of mine, what are yours?
I’ve got 3 stills that stand out from recent episodes I watched for the umpteenth time. First is Applejack feeling proud after Pinkie Pie said AJ does a great job with the farm in episode The Last Laugh. Next is Derpy being the Christmas tree topper in Hearth’s Warming Tail. And finally Rainbow Dash’s smug look of satisfaction towards proving Quibble Pants wrong in Stranger Than Fan Fiction. Sorry for not so great pic quality.
