Description You read that title right, folks! Here as the first installation of my "Future Mane 6" miniseries for Harmonyverse is the new mayor of Ponyville, Pinkie Pie!

Now, I bet you're thinking, "Pinkie Pie as mayor? That'll be a disaster!", and to be fair, most others thought so, too- including the Mane 6. Before becoming mayor, Pinkie was content in being a (new!) mother and, of course, proud co-founder of the Cheese & Pie Paloozaporium, a party planning business (with a rumored secret society under it!) she and Cheese Sandwich created together. When Mayor Mare declared her retirement, Pinkie was devastated. Afraid the town so near and dear to her heart would become mismanaged with a new mayor, Pinkie Pie decided to step up to the plate and become a candidate in the running to become future mayor.

Many citizens, despite their love for Pinkie, couldn't understand her reasoning on why she of all ponies would want to become mayor- all the responsibilities and duties she's have to attend would only cramp up her schedule and make her miserable! The job simply wasn't fun. Most confused of all where Pinkie's friends. The girls were afraid she'd bite off more than she could chew and would, quite simply, fail at the job, and they didn't want Pinkie to feel bad for it. Still, Pinkie was adamant on pursuing this, and while she was happy with who she was before, a small part of her had always been worried she didn't measure up to her friends, who were all quite successful in their own rights as business owners and celebrities, and of course, princesses. Pinkie was proud to be a business owner herself, but she always worried she didn't seem quite so "grown up" in comparison to her friends, and she wanted to dream a little bigger, and, despite their hesitance at first, Pinkie won over her friends in helping her with the campaign.

Pinkie Pie might be a fun-loving, party-planning silly filly, but, as shown several times in the show before, she is also precise, organized, vigilant, and a unique problem solver. She knows absolutely everyone in Ponyville and would go out of her way to help anyone in need. After a successful campaign (her slogan being "Think Pink!") thanks to the help of her friends, who had begun to realize that Pinkie really was the perfect candidate, Pinkie was able to prove to everyone just what a qualified pony she was for the job, and won by a landslide in the polls- the after party, hosted by her overjoyed and proud husband, Cheese, and her very own apprentice, Party Favor, would be remembered throughout Ponyville history afterwards, and was one of the greatest celebrations the town had every seen.

Pinkie Pie manages her role as mayor with relish, and while she herself was a little afraid of it being boring at first, she's learned how to make it fun for herself and for others, and is all around a very good mayor. Pinkie Pie is joined by Council Mare Applejack in executive decision making (along with other council members, but AJ being chief among them), and of course, she consults with Princess Twilight Sparkle on important town matters from time to time. Despite being mayor, Pinkie Pie is still Chief Event Planner for big parties, though she shares the title with Cheese because there ain't no party like a Cheese Pie party, hehe.
--

Phew! That was more than I thought I'd write, hehe.

I love the idea of Pinkie becoming an official party planner when she becomes older, but I also feel like it's been done a lot, and while I love Pinkie's fun-loving spirit, I wanted to put her in a situation where she'd mature a little more, and having her become mayor was something I felt just came naturally to her (I mean, have you seen her filing system? She's a genius!). Pinkie remains as mayor for a successful term (around 2-3 years), and while she loved her job, she eventually steps down from it after feeling like she was missing out in her family life (their daughter, Cherry Surprise, was around 5-7 years old while she was mayor). Still, Pinkie remains as a council member even after her resignation (as Chief Event Planner, of course), and is replaced by Amethyst Star as mayor. Pinkie returns to work asΒ Cheese's partner in their business after she steps down, and she'd be lying if she had said she didn't miss party planning a whole lot, heh. Pinkie's success as mayor is something she'll always be proud of, and while she may have left the role behind, she is still honored as one of Ponyville's best mayors in history.Β 

I'll be doing Applejack next, since I mentioned her here, and I hope to complete all of the Mane 6 before eventually working on their spouses, too. In the meantime, enjoy, folks! Hope my rambling wasn't too much, hehe.

oh gosh, can't tell you how much I love this idea for her!! <3 Reminds me of Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec, them both being so upbeat and ambitious about running for office!

I'm glad you like it, and excellent observation! I'm a big fan of Parks and Rec, and I actually drew a lot of inspiration from Leslie for Pinkie's new role as a public servant, hehe.

Never would I have put β€˜mayor’ and β€˜Pinkie’ in the same sentence, but your argument contains such valid points that it makes perfect sense! Wonderful backstory and beautiful artwork as always, Filly!Β Β

Haha, I'm sure no one would, but I'm glad the idea isn't so outlandish after I manage to explain my reasoning! Thank you very much!Β

Having Pinkie become the mayor is a brilliant idea.Β  I'll admit that I never considered it, but then you reminded us of her great organization skills as well as her knowing everyone in town, so it would make perfect sense for her to be mayor.Β  It was practically foreshadowed in the show since the Founder of Equestria she played in the play was the Chancellor (with Applejack coincidentally playing the role of the founder that was the Chancellor's secretary).Β  This is definitely a great direction to take her character, and I'm shocked that no one else has considered it before.

Thank you! I'm thrilled you liked the idea, haha! I'm glad you noticed the mirrored positions I put AJ and Pinkie in, too! It seemed natural that they'd work together in their government positions, and I felt like it would be a nice nod to the play when I was developing this idea, hehe.

You're welcome!Β  Hopefully, anyone who sees this might reconsider Pinkie's potential and explore more options for her future (I know I am).

DuneFilly In reply to PokemonTrainerMax [2018-07-21 21:12:35 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely! Pinkie Pie has so much to offer as a character, and I sincerely hope others decide to put Pinkie in other situations where she can flourish.

Wow I love this concept! I admit I was like whaa? For a second but when you think about it she would be very efficient at the job- like with that filing system you mentioned! Either way this is super great!

DuneFilly In reply to Hazelskyes [2018-07-20 08:13:09 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thank you! I wanted to think outside of the box for Pinkie, since she's my top favorite out of the Mane 6, and while her being mayor is a pretty strange concept, I'm glad it's been getting such a kind reception. Thanks again!

OKAY, you know I absolutely need to comment on this!

I will not lie, I was extremely flooredΒ by not just the art itself (which caught my eye as always!) but at the headcanon you set for Pinkie! Pinkie Pie is definitely one of my favorites out of all the Mane 6, and I never thought of this role for her as Mayor! It's a nice deviation away from most NG headcanons (not to slam them ofc, but it's not to have a refreshing take)! Colour me excited for the rest of the Mane 6

Aaah, thank you so much!! I'm super glad you liked the idea, and I'm on the same boat with you about Pinkie- she's always been my top favorite among the Mane 6, so I wanted to do something extra special for her, hehe. Thanks again for the lovely comment!

QuakingAspens [2018-07-20 05:18:57 +0000 UTC]

I love this concept! It's a fact about Pinkie that many (including me) forget, and it'd be a failure on my part as a consumer not to commend you for taking the pieces of information offered by the show and running with it.

DuneFilly In reply to QuakingAspens [2018-07-20 05:22:00 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I'm glad to hear it! I love Pinkie Pie to death, and while I, like I've stated in the description, absolutely love her as a party planner, I always want to see her as something more than just that, so becoming mayor just seemed like an interesting position for her to tackle, and one I feel she'd excel at!

Absolutely! I'm intrigued with the concept
