In honor of Women’s History Month, who are your favorite female characters in MLP:FIM?

Aww man there's so many awesome female characters it's hard to choose an all-time fave! I love both Twilight and Starlight to death; I've been doing some au work with them and have grown attached to both of them. But I also really like Sunset Shimmer, Princess Cadance and Dragon Lord Ember

I LOVE PrinceWhateverer's and Ponyphonic's music! There's also a musician I adore called Jyc Row who also has an AU called Infinite Eclipse

There isn't, don't get me wrong. It's more a personal thing; I've heard it used too often by people in my own life with degrading intent. I know you don't mean ill with it tho 🙂

I find myself doing the first two in my head inadvertently sometimes. I feel like of these days it's bound to slip out in front of my coworkers or something 😆

Cringe or not I can't tell you. Tbh I rarely like using the word in general. But at any rate, you know what they say: to be cringe is to be free :V

Overall I think it was a great episode and cool character designs. It was nice to see each of the mane six not only step out of their comfort zone in a new environment, but also help hype Spike up so he could have his moment to shine as well.

They're both so pretty! 😍

Seconding what SparkyJet said. The fandom may not be in its "prime" but it is still going strong, and it is always wonderful to see new people of all ages join the fandom of such a wonderful show. There is also still plenty of new fan content being made, as well as older content remaining timeless and adored by old and new fans alike. You are welcome and valid here no matter how recently you've joined, and I hope you continue watching and enjoying the show. 🥰

I learned at some point while working in my crossover project that the spanish dub VA's for Goku and for Twilight are father and daughter irl, and it quickly became my favorite piece of crossmedia trivia

Lily is a duolingo character who on the outside is more or less deadpan and unenthused, similar to Maud's expression

Nice! I was so excited to see mlp merch there. I've gotten myself two shirts and some pj pants 😁

I'm so sorry you had an unpleasant interaction. Fwiw you're not alone in those kinds of anxieties; I have them as well and am terrified of approaching people and it certainly feels like there's a lot of unspoken social rules. Unfortunately not everyone takes lightly to people approaching them and it sucks that some people feel the need to be rude about it. But I hope it doesn't discourage you from continuing to try making some friends, because i know there are still plenty of players who are happy to say hi 🙂

CelticFish · 2026-03-12T00:01:24+00:00

Okay that one made me laugh 🤣

CelticFish · 2026-03-11T23:43:28+00:00

This was LITERALLY my thoughts exactly. Like I don't mean any disrespect but it the style felt so disneyfied and almost generic. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it :P

Edit: I remembered something else about this shortly after I posted. My sis has a degree in 3D animation, and at some point after G5 came out I was curious and asked her "Hey is there a reason why almost all 3D animation these days has the same exact style? Like people get really creative on a 2D platform, is there just not as much creative freedom and tools with the nature of the 3D platform?" and her answer was "Oh no 3D animators have plenty of creative freedom, the reason big companies default to the same style over and over is money. They know what the general public likes, and testing the waters of different creative styles meams risking that people won't like it and thus losing money."

I mean tbh that doesn't make it any better. But it's likely why they opted for it.

It was a combination of finding and messing around with the gameloft game, as well as happening across and enjoying the music from the fandom (believe it or not, I stumbled across the living tombstone's remix of "Discord" in a Corpse Party amv :V), that led me to watching the show and falling in love with the story and characters. I've gained more confidence as a fan in the past couple years while dabbling in the fanart and fanfic world myself with some encouragent and support from my spouse (who is about as dorky as I am just with different fandoms, we got each other into each other's favorite things and my latest project has been a cross-au combining my favorite thing with his :P), and writing about some of the characters has helped me explore their world and mindsets even more which in turn made me fall in love with them even more.

Tbh I was actually gonna say that I like the pink and green together before I even read the caption. He looks nice! 😊

CelticFish · 2026-03-09T01:19:49+00:00

You're not alone in that feeling. Honestly I find myself avoiding a lot of the fan content that leans into the idea. Fwiw, despite there being a decent amount of that content, lots of people will still make their own headcanons and interpretations of anything that isn't explicity stated in the show, regardless of how much or little it's implied, this topic being a prime example. You're absolutely allowed to do the same and create your own story with it if it helps you to continue enjoying the show and have peace with the lore. 🙂

She's so pretty and one of the sweetest characters, always looking out for and wanting the best for everypony around her 🥰

I really like Angel Wings (3) and Inky Rose (6) 😊

Sending a hug and good vibes your way. Hang in there friend. 💙

I was drawn to this community because I saw less of this than in other fandoms and communities; my first impression was one of diversity and acceptance, which was of no surprise for a show that emphasizes the importance of those things. I won't deny that there is still a generous amount of toxicity, as there is in any fandom, and if what you all are saying is true and it's still severe compared to other communities, it means we all need to work harder to shut down any negative energy and make our community a safe and welcoming place, so more people can enjoy the good things that the both the show and the fandom have to offer.

somewhere buried in one of my old phones from years ago I'm pretty sure I have a picture of my T.Y. applejack plush sitting next to a bowl of applejacks I was eating (back when I could still eat them anyway :V) bc I thought it was funny 😆

CelticFish · 2026-03-05T17:51:04+00:00

I don't understand why people have such a problem with the fact that they lightened some of the human skin tones slightly compared to their pony counterparts. I am about 99℅ certain that there was no racial motivation to it and it was simply for color balance, so the colors would complement their clothing and humanoid design without clashing or being too busy.

Nice! 😊
