Inspired in part by a cute fanart going around this morning, the next interlude in My Little Quendi: Friendship is Magic, a breather moment from the suspenseful two-part episode where everyone is wondering if the magical princess will be able to rescue her true love and the wise king in time.
During Enchantress Nightingale’s coerced stay in Hidden Canyon Castle, she befriends not only the cool talking dog but darling Sparkle Blossom, who wants to know why Nightingale is so set on marrying a mortal pony. They also share muffin recipes and compare favorite songs.
The phrase “hung like a horse” comes up.

In the same episode ("Back Home") where the wise and talented sculptress rants about her ex-husband and the family left behind by the Wise Ponies who went to the Eastern Shore complain or cry, depending on temperament, we also get a rare glimpse into what is happening at the Palace of the First Ponies, aka the Light Ponies aka the Pretty Ponies.

It's a catastrophe.

Suffice to say, the High King of All the Ponies is obsessed with his pets, to the dismay of his court.

We end the episode with a quick cut back to the White Tower Palace.

“And that,” says Her Highness, “is why I stay here and put up with all the customs, feuds, and ridiculous drama of the Jewel Ponies. I’m severely allergic to cat hair.”



(kid's show. she's not making a dick joke.)

Today’s episode of My Little Quendi: Friendship is Magic was a real treat, because we got a chance to go back to the kingdom from the first season and see what’s happening back home with the ponies than didn’t take the trip. A couple cameos from the wives and widows, and Oceanina is happy that unlike her in-laws she doesn’t have to complain about a dumb husband leaving her.

My Little Quendi has returned for a new season, taking advantage of the show-runner’s side project involving sigils for some improved cutie marks. By popular demand, the bonus feature on one of the DVDs includes the short animated segment of the Philosophical Discussion of Friendly Goldenwise and Patience Wisdom. This is a kid’s show (supposedly), so of course good will defeat evil. And the subtitle of this show is ‘Friendship is Magic’, so yes, we will remain friends even unto the end of the universe. Wait for us.

...I think this was a gift/request for [personal profile] anghraine

“Sometimes not everyone gets a happy ending.

Sometimes the goods guys cannot save everyone, no matter how hard they try.

Sometimes friendship is only the memory.”

It was bad enough to sob through the last fifteen minutes of the episode, from Green Willow’s last stand, to King Greycloak’s desperate foe-tossing charge only to arrive too late, but then the writers have in the last five minutes King Greycloak tells his little nephews, Shining Tree and Silver Tree, that they were now orphans. The last scene was a flashback showing how happy the Grey Ponies were to be reunited with new friends in the Green Forest Ponies.

…I think this show’s writer is a sadist.

Technically this is bizarre fanart for my own fic. Fell Fire pursues the enemy while followed by his brother, Iron-grip, and their mortal pony friend, Fierceness. The true source of Fell Fire's worry and anger is his doomed and unrequited romance with Patience Wiseheart. The story symbolically uses a candle and moth motif for them.

Many tears were shed (by viewers as well) during the Grinding Ice episode, when the daddy of little Sparkling Brilliance Silverhoof had to explain why Momma wasn’t coming with them to Beleriand anymore.

There’s always at least one song per episode on My Little Quendi: Friendship is Magic.

Today’s episode was a magic song duel.

Just wouldn’t be proper unless I showed a screen-cap from the acclaimed second season finale episode of My Little Quendi, “Friendship is Amputation”.

this is the only post in this series to feature a Fëanorian, btw, and solely because the pun was too great.

On today's episode of My Little Quendi: Friendship is Magic, the lesson everyone learns is that it’s best to just give Princess Enchantress Nightingale what she wants.

Yeah, at this point I don’t even care.



And to show how far I developed this -and to highlight how much my backgrounds improved, here's this scene more or less in animated form made over a year later:





Aside from gifs I removed the speech bubbles and went with translated/silly names instead of canon.

 What is this? it started with a tumblr post where Elleth and adenydd remarked on the translation of Idril Celebrindal's name, Sparkling Brilliance, as that akin to a My Little Pony. Knowing of a third party MLQ maker, I chimed in. Especially as it allowed to make custom cutie marks, and I was making sigils. 

And thus I took a joke, continued it via fanart of a pretend children's cartoon of the Silmarillion staring ponies, and then ran it into the ground and beat the dead horse some more.



Here will be the master list. For the first post I will also include the subsequent later recreation of the scene in a crude gif format so you can see the change in formatting. No, there was never any flash animation. But a lot of puns.

And no, I was never in the MLP:FM fandom. Or watched more than two or three episodes.
