Description NEXT


I've been working on this for a few weeks little by little and finally got it done. I plan to write a "report" page for each of the original Elements.

This one was difficult because all the ponies and many of the poses are original while the last ones were just traces for the most part. I also did a lot of drawings to show the scenes as they played out because they were just too much fun

Love and gratitude to Lauren and Hasbro for the pony wold in which we play.

EDIT: Almost forgot: since I know everyone's going to ask, yes, Willow's dad is in the guard though I haven't named him yet. Her mother, a VERY sensitive pony, is named Maple Breeze.

Edits: Spelling.

Willow can sense emotions and other things about someone's personality, mood, background etc. Sometimes that involves actually images or visions, but it's often just a sense.

I see. And I think I got that figured out before you posted this first part mostly. But thanks for answering my questions. ^^

So there is a record of them! That makes me so happy!

Hold on. In your headcanon, do all the ponies have superpowers? If so, why would Willow's parents be shocked/surprised their daughter has superpowers?

Nimaru In reply to BlackWidower [2012-07-03 04:17:57 +0000 UTC]

Ponies have talents just like in the show. I wrote Willow and the others having slightly to fairly larger abilities than most under the premise that they're destined to be Element bearers.

Woo, Twilight learned how to speak owl. Now for the squirrels...
Anyway, I love the idea of bridging the gap between the current and the previous Bearers. Please, keep it up.

LOVE IT!!! This will be even more enjoyable to read than Luna's Studies, considering the ponies studied. I can't wait to hear how Owlowicious explains her means of studying ponies who lived one thousand years ago.

I haven't really decided... I'm thinking relaxation: tea ceremonies, gardening, quiet chats. Personality-wise she's mellow and sensitive

I love how you made a pony that has a very unique gift: Empathy.

Very nice to also delve into their lives pre-Nightmare moon and a little post.

I love it! I didn't expect one of these to pop up, so this is very serendipitous! My favorite part was when Willow stuck her tongue out at Crabapple. XD Can't wait for more.

I don't agree. What about the quiet types who are constantly doing things for you without ever being asked? That's how I imagine Rose.

Dang I never noticed before!!!! In your original comic "The Real Story" Owlowicious is in the potted tree in Celestia and Luna's Bedroom!!!!! I just, on a lark, clicked that to view it again and noticed him sleeping in the tree with Philimina on the perch by Celestias bed!!!! What DOES he know and how does he know it? You get the feeling he was intentionally sent to Twilight for this reason! (You were planning this all from the very beginning weren't you? You clever Brony!!!!!!)

This....is.....AWESOME!!!!!! Looking forward to the other pages! I particularly liked Rose Petals pose about midway down!!!! Priceless! Right up there with Lyra sitting on the bench in the "Dragonshy" episode of season 1!!! But what of Rose Petal's story with Balanced Budget? Still working on that?

I haven't stopped Rose's story, just wanted to finish this since people keep asking about Willow and getting Rose and Willow's elements mixed up.

Demosthenes-101 In reply to Nimaru [2012-07-03 06:31:00 +0000 UTC]

Ah...so noted. But however ARE they mixing them up? You really made the elements clear from the get go.

Nimaru In reply to Demosthenes-101 [2012-07-03 16:53:19 +0000 UTC]

I'm guessing they didn't really pay attention, missed some early stuff, or just assumed that because Roseis quiet, she must match Fluttershy.

Fascinating. I loved your original "Luna's Studies" comic and as such I'm looking forward to all of the things you have to say about the other element-bearers.

Juts one question abnout Willow's abilities though. You say that it was difficult for her to read Crabapple's thoughts and feelings, probasbly owing to his more stoic personality.

Did that change after they got together and had kids? Because it seemed fairly easy to read him at that point, especially with all those tears you gave him at the sight of his newly-born children.
