the mlp gang plays world of warcraft!! Combining my two godforsaken special interests together yayyy

after the events of the series, with everyone spread out across equestria, they all decide to dedicate themselves to one night of gaming a week to hang out! They decide to play spike’s latest obsession: world of warcraft

twi plays a pandaren arcane mage bc she likes that they’re trying to preserve their history, as well as their harmonious and neutral way of life. the mage part is very obvious

flutters is a highmountain Tauren resto/guardian druid! taurens are chill and gentle and very spiritual, and she likes the big moose horns she gets from the allied race version

pinkie is a goblin!! a goblin outlaw rogue who somehow managed to replace the in game pistol shot with her party cannon and, to this day, none of her friends figured out how she did that. she chose gobby bc they match her crackhead vibe and her gluttony for finger foods

aj is ye olde classic combo of Tauren Prot/Arms warrior from thunder bluff! unlike the others, she didn’t have much of a reason why she chose that race. She just liked how tall and big they are, and thought the bull horns would work well with her hat. Hint: they do!!

The rest are playing alliance!! Dash, Spike, Rarity and the princesses coming soon……. Maybe…..

they’re consuming all of my waking hours. a bunch of scenes I’m envisioning in my head but can’t seem to actually write down in my fic

nostalgic pony hyper fixation nostalgic pony hyper fixation

OKAY BUT!!

guys what if Fluttershy was an oath of the ancients paladin in Guy’s Night’s O&O game

I’ve spent the better half of today world building an entire campaign for two ponies, a dragon, and a draconequus to enjoy. I don’t even spend this much time prepping for my own weeks sessions YIKES

rated pvp duo extraordinaires, discord and fluttershy!! he loves his pocket healer very very much (almost too much), and flutters is just happy to help him enjoy the game

discord is 100% a toxic alt junkie. he has a million and one characters everywhere that are every class-race combo known to man bc he gets bored easily

he does love playing feral druid w flutters the most tho, bc he likes the obscenely bright colours that troll druid forms get and he likes calling themselves ‘the cat gang’

fluttershy plays exclusively Druid bc she’s only got the time to play one class, and so she chose the class that lets her play all 4 different roles at once. also. animals!!

she’s also surprisingly good at pvp, who knew!!

unicorns!! specifically, rarity!!

in the polar opposite direction as pegasi, i think that unicorns would envision 'beauty' being decided by either how magically gifted you are. or, in rarity's case, how close you are to looking like a de-winged alicorn!

more than pegasi or earth ponies, i think that unicorns would hold the alicorns in extremely high regard, and set the majority of their beauty standards up against them. a unicorn is attractive based on:

1) how tall they are

2) how powerful they are, and

3) how distinctly their colouring sets them apart from the crowd while still looking clearly like a pony.

as a rare white unicorn w an incredibly stark purple/blue mane, rarity has the third in spades, along with the first due to her ancestral relation to felines.

while not having the sheer magical power of twilight, rarity has incredibly refined control that lets her levitate a large amount of different objects without ever making a mistake. i.e, controlling needles, spools, measuring tapes, and bolts of fabric while using the sewing machine at the same time.

this is all to say. the world is very very lucky that rarity became a seamstress instead of a model, bc the world would've been extremely screwed!!

oh!!

rarity had a bit of a wild youth in her teen years. she subscribed to the philosophy of 'work hard, party hard', and probably still would be if her friends weren't so allergic to canterlot!! one day she'll get fluttershy and applejack into a nightclub, mark her words!!

idk if anyone remembers that post on tumblr abt a what if situation, with Fluttershy returning to the past and having to befriend pre-stone discord in order to go home, BUT……

the mane 6 ends up somewhere due to an Magical Incident!! Wowie!!

is this their timeline’s past? Who knows! Have they accidentally dimension hopped to the next universe over? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

All they know is that they’ve wound up in an era of Equestria that’s under the rule of discord, while their once peaceful princesses are waging both a civil war against him, and a first contact war with the countries around Equestria in order to maintain their country’s border

things are going Down

twilight is now a third alicorn that Celestia and Luna are very interested in. fluttershy desperately wants her highly traumatised and distant best friend back. dash and aj are very quickly becoming legendary heroes. and rarity and pinkie pie are single hoofedly making world peace a viable option

i like to imagine Pegasus as a chimera race like griffons, hence the good relationship between the two of them

griffons would be a carnivorous chimera of predatory birds and cats. Pegasi would be a herbivorous variant between ponies, birds, and cats

I feel like the other two pony races would find the pegasi vaguely off putting bc of that. Pegasus would look very different from each other, and unicorns/earth ponies would struggle to see where the griffon starts and the pony begins

Fluttershy is likely seen as rather undesirable by other pegasi bc of the fact that she just looks like a winged pony. She doesn’t look particularly unique, and she isn’t a strong flier or powerful in general, so other pegasi would probably rate her a tentative 3 at best, and that’s only bc her lion eyes are insanely wicked

however, the other races would think she’s insanely stunning bc of that. They’d consider her ethereal and almost angelic, and that’s definitely one of the reasons she’d be hiding out in the fringes of ponyville. She’s either mocked in the sky or stared at in the towns/cities, so there’s rlly just no winning

guy discord is an eccentric weirdo w no social skills who manages to, somehow, consecutively trip upwards from rock bottom. gal discord is walking sex w a wolf cut, a fantastic sense of humor and a revenge streak

Fluttershy is down bad

needed something happy and sweet after all the mlp infection brainstorming. I hope everyone had a fantastic hearts and hooves day!!!
