Additional Rewrite au Gusty

(edit: added baby Gusty)

[franki-lew-yo]

Friendship is retred; A bunch of fluffy headcanons about if I ran the Friendship is Magic show.

I can't say/speak much about all I'd do for FiM seasons 4-9 (and by extension gen 5) if I were incharge. I only know this:

Twilight Sparkle DOESN'T change into an alicorn princess until the end of season 7; she graduates from Celestia's underling in season 3 and the big 'life in Equestria' number that ends that season has Twilight being crowned the minister of friendship.

The CMC still become friends with Diamond Tiara but they DON'T get their own cutie marks till season 7, right before Twilight's princess-ing.

Season 7 happens AFTER the events of the movie.

Cadence and Flurry Heart are not alicorns. Flurry is born an alicorn by fluke at the beginning of season 6 but she's 'cured' and becomes a pegasus like her mother, Cadence.

Starlight is still able to perform magic (or rather, use other people's magic skills to her advantage) but her whole thing is that she doesn't have nor ever earn a cutie mark throughout the show and she comes to terms with being happy about that. Her realizing this with the CMC's help is what gives the CMC their cutie marks.

Sombra and Stygian are the same character.

NO Starswirl and his pals especially not timetraveling. They were guardians of harmony but they never became true friends and they're the reason Stygian/Sombra turned out the way he did.

Twilight's reeling Stygian out of the pony of shadows, undoing the damage Starswirl did, is what leads to her becoming an alicorn.

Celestia took on Tirek+Scorpan and Sombra by herself; Luna was still stuck in the moon and Tirek's imprisonment and the Crystal Empire's fall did NOT happen exactly 1,000 years ago. Because she had to do so with just elements by her side and not her sister is why she was not powerful enough but the Mane 6 are- also shows you just how busy sunhorse is.

Season 4 is basically Discord's season. All the Discord-centric episodes in s5, 6 and so on happen in season 4, replacing the pointlessness that is 'Three's a Crowd'. Discord appears in all of the mane six's (sans Fluttershy's) 'key' episodes where he taunts them just like he did in his debut. He appears though in 'Filli Vanilli' taking Pinkie's role from that episode being toxiclly supportive of his 'one friend', which fits more with Discord's character than it does Pinkie. This is important because...

...in the finale of s4, Discord does his betrayal of the ponies but then gets backstabbed by Tirek and looses his draconequus powers; which he never gets back for the rest of the show.

The season 4 finale has Luna and Celestia transfer their magic/essence into the tree of harmony for safe keeping, not into Twilight. Celestia sent Discord to ponyville to help the pones and he does eventually do so by aiding them in defeating Tirek, but not before his betrayal. Really play back and forth with the audience if Discord truly is a friend to Fluttershy or to anybody else (spoilers, he is).

Season 8 and the school of magic begins with a timeskip- where the now older CMC and Twilight welcoming in the Young Six, who include Flurry Heart.

Cozy Glow is just Queen Chrysalis, come in to disrupt the youth of Equestria and end the woke-isms after they took away her power over the changelings.

Oh yeah also Thorax and the reformed changelings look like this and their true form is deerbugbirds, not over designed bug ponies.

This one's probably the darkest-- In the final season, Celestia is growing weaker and weaker and her and Luna's final act for their people is sacrificing themselves to buy Twilight sum time. Same with Discord; he and Starlight team up to trick Tirek and Chrysalis and Discord dies for his sins. IT'S OKAY THO-

-Celestia and Luna come back as their pre alicorn-selves; Discord comes back as a worm-thing which Fluttershy adopts as one of her pets...okay maybe I'll change that I swear I genuinely did not want to kill Fluttercord as a possibility...either way Discord comes back and Shy's happy.

Yes, there is an implication now that Twilight will be the only alicorn and have to eventually live without her friends. I'm going ahead with one of Faust's earlier ideas that Twilight would become Celestia's successor. Instead of being forlorn about this though, Twilight aims to look to the horizon.

oh and, since gen 5 is a sequel- that generation is called "My Little Pony and Friends" and Sunny and Scout are the only two ponies of the main group. The rest of the characters are yaks, deer, dragons. If we can't beat Them's Fightin Herds, then we shall become Them's Fightin Herds! Literally every kid wanted a more diverse pony horse range in their lives which is what made My Little Pony Friends and the Carebear Cousins so popular all these years later.

Absolutely no Dislestia though. This is a rewrite of what the show should* be not what I want it to be-- Celestia and Discord were always a crack pairing after my heart. Maybe they can star in one of the non-canon mlp comics. I would however have them interact more with Celestia hardcore shipping Fluttercord platonically and more.

Oh and more but also less Luna. Have her not make as many appearances before the pony public; that was and still is Celestia's job as an alicorn and Luna is not a social butterfly. She's got dreams to watchover and be her own stoic self.

LAST AND VERY IMPORTANTLY -the gen 5 ponies don't have those creepy Elsa faces. I know a lot of horse-people are angry at gen 4 for how they drew ponies, but I take that look to the monstrosity that is the new pony artstyle.

That's all. Maybe this is the continuity of an alt. timelines Friendship is Magic series. We can't visit that timeline though because Rick Sanchez ruined it for us and we're currently being killed by aliens.

MY FRIENDS!!!! <3333

[majachee]

YAY

[ouchsharks]

uuuhhhhh.... lesbian bmc as mlp bc im crazy

jenny blank flank is so dear to me.. also i will explain any of my choices but do know i am correct in every way

[garussy]

Fluttercord and Dislestia exist in my little rewrite but I think it’s hilarious that Dislestia are petty exes and Discord went from dating a goddess to a mortal

And there is a moment where Discord casually mentions his ex and Fluttershy is curious because who in their right mind would date the lord of chaos?? (Aside from her)

And he just name drops Celestia

Fluttershy is silent trying to figure out if he is lying or not because what?? Excuse me???

[mar-im-o]

Updated my mlp g5 rewrite designs!!

you guys should send me asks about my rewrite it's so so good

[teawinx]

For someone who's afraid of horses, I sure am drawing them a lot these days

Like so many, I have been left disappointed with MLP G5, especially after really enjoying the movie.

So for some fun, here's some minor redesigns of the main cast because I honestly really like them. Zipp and Pipp are the only designs I don't really like. Giving them matching coats should help visually convey that they're sisters lol.

Enjoy!

MLP G4 S9 rewrite (kinda)

I honestly thought the whole Grogar fake-out was kinda dumb, especially since they did my boi discord dirty. So in my rewrite of season 9, Grogar actually returns.

In the rewrite, cozy glow isn't imprisoned, and is sent to a more juvenile friendship detention, where she is more closely watched.

While in the library of the place, she finds the book of Gusty the Great and her friend Starswirl the Bearded. She takes notice of the part in the story where Gusty steals the Bewitching bell away from Grogar, and hides it on a mountain. Cozy, now interested in the artifact, plans to sneak out that night and make the journey to the mountain.

On her way there, she stumbled into Chrysalis, who was preoccupied with commanding her army of tree stumps. Chrysalis, after finding out about the bell, takes off towards the mountain as well to find it.

Once both Cozy and Chrysalis arrive, they realize that the bell is in fact there. It's just attached on a necklace, to Gusty herself, who is frozen in place, sealed away as a statue. Chrysalis has just enough magic to break the spell, and frees Gusty, hoping that she can just take the bell away, only to realize that Gusty refuses to give it up.

Cozy questions Gusty and finds out Gusty did not in fact destroy Grogar like the stories said, but sealed his soul inside of the bell itself. Yes, Gusty did steal the bell, but instead of hiding the bell away, decided to hold onto it at all times for safekeeping. Unbeknownst to her, the bell was cursed. Over time, the bell slowly corrupted her, making her magic as strong as Grogar's. The ponies in her kingdom were terrified of her, and shunned her, driving her out. Gusty wasn't in her right mind, and cast a curse on the kingdom, creating the windigos.

Starswirl, her friend, turned on her, chasing her down to the cave they were in right now, and sealed her in stone. Gusty, unaware of what has happened the last few thousands of years, is tricked by Chrysalis and Cozy glow that Starswirl and Twilight sparkle were the bad guys. Gusty, now on the side of Chrysalis and Cozy glow, decides to help by freeing the soul of Grogar, commanding him to assist them.

During the final battle, all of the ponies and their allies now fight Grogar, who after a while, regains his full strength, breaking free of Gusty's control. Grogar is defeated eventually, and resealed by Gusty, who now realizes she was in the wrong. Still wary of Starswirl after all this time, she decides to leave Equestria and wander the world, as the Bell's curse grants her immortality

( this is just a summarization of the events, I don't have everything exactly planned out, this is just me over explaining my ideas)

(bonus baby Grogar and Post soul-sealed-in-bell Grogar)

aj! go get ur gf!!

YAYYYYY MORE MISCELLANEOUS REWRITE AU COOKING YIPPEE

[majachee]

THE CHANGELING BROTHERS 🗣🗣🗣

Some design notes under cut:

In mythology, changelings are humanoid creatures that have been placed by fae (broad generalized term) in place of a human child, though there are also some stories here and there of adults being taken and replaced by changelings.

Changelings, based on my limited research, only really refer to the creature left behind during some good ol cradle robbing. They are related to the fae, though. Fae, or faeries, cover a broad range of different creatures in all sorts of European mythos, however, from elves to trolls to imps. In more modern art and stories, fae are drawn as tiny little humans with bug-like wings and long, flowing hair. But there have been less flattering depictions throughout history.

Taking the origin of the mythos, and the obvious bug inspiration in the show, I've decided to redesign these two to look like impish little sprites! Changelings in my AU are smaller than the average pony, usually reaching their chin or shoulders. They have thin, flexible bodies that are protected by an exoskeleton! Their jaws are an odd mix of mammalian and insect, so they can expand and protrude their lower jaws while their upper jaw stays fixed to their skull. Their tongues are thin, based on nectar-drinking bugs and animals like butterflies and hummingbirds.

Most changelings have two wings, only Pharynx and Thorax have four wings (reformed form only.)

Pharynx is also a bit taller than the average changeling drone... Have fun imagining how tall Thorax is. Height chart coming eventually.

Their tails are loosely based on a scorpion's stinger, but I took more inspiration from cartoony imp/devil tails in art and cartoons! 😇

Revisited the muffins saga recently and thought of an idea for a rewrite that i haven’t seen done yet: what if Maud was a one of the bakers?

the idea is honestly so funny to me, considering how monotone she is, especially when compared to her sisters. Like, we have the energy-filled Pinkie, the grounded yet narcissistic Inkie, the brash and blunt Blinkie, the quiet, pessimistic, and unnerving Minkie...and then there's Maud. She's there. She likes comedy. And rocks.

I imagine she might have tolerated the rock farm just a bit more than her sisters. She still hated it, but since she isn't the type to show...well, any emotion, you would never really know. She'd probably be pretty close to Minkie; the both of them being the quietest of the group. She would also take a matriarchal role along with Inkie; as they are both the most level-headed. Going off of what we see in the show, she would be pretty chill with Apple Bloom, too.

then there's the whole turing ponies into pastries thing. she would participate, but while the rest of the bakers show their true insanity, Maud just stays monotone. She doesn't do much extra to torment anypony; her emotionless attitude usually does the trick anyway. she leads the baking the least out of the group, and mostly just helps out with whatever the other end up doing.

IDK, the idea of Maud being in the deranged world that is the muffins saga and turning ponies into cupcakes is a hilarious concept to me, and i'm surprised i haven't seen anyone talk about it yet

Basic summary: Muffins rewrite where almost everything is the same except Maud Pie is there.

Fine, I caved
