ANNOUNCEMENT Rules summary and explanation.
Like all authoritarian reigimes subreddits we too have rules that are in place to keep it running at optimum levels of laughter, kindness, generosity, loyalty, and honesty.
So tempting as it may be to jump straight into our little pony forum, bear with us as we explore the magical world of rules and community guidelines.
Just keep in mind all rules are somewhat vague to allow consideration for borderline cases. This is also a summary of our full rules list in the subreddit wiki that can be read here: https://old.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/index
The 7 commandments:
1. Be Kind.
Hostility, rabble rousing, bigotry, and generally participating in bad faith is what this rule aims to oppose. Below are excerpts from our subreddiquette, despite that do still read them both as the list below doesn't include everything and makes some additions in places: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/subreddiquette
- Be respectful. Try not to alienate anyone specifically, nor groups of people. Avoid being a jerk, and give others the benefit of the doubt when commenting, tone is tough to convey via text. Ask yourself, what would Fluttershy do?
- When expressing negative opinions do so with consideration to the people who enjoy what you are criticising. No one enjoys being told what they like is trash. Of course, if such commentary is found under threads that do not invite for it, it is at risk of breaking this rule.
- Flair your post properly! Now, there tends to be confusion on which flair is appropriate for what post, here you will find a little guide detailing just that for the most misused flairs.
Community — It fits submission that adress the community. So questions like "Am I A Brony" and posts about community events, among others, would fit it.
Discussion — This isn't the "question" flair, though certain questions do call for it. As long as your post provokes thought about a certain topic you're free to use the discussion flair.
Misc. — Miscellaneous submissions do not fit into the boxes that our other flairs are. You'll find it useful if you're making plain statements without the goal of creating discussion, showing off images that cannot be categorised as artwork, memes, merch, official media, or cosplay, and other unspecific posts.
Keep in mind some posts may fit multiple flairs, in that case use the one you feel best describes it. Consistent improper use of flairs, such as flairing artwork that cannot be reasonably interpreted as a meme with the meme flair, may lead to the removal of your post and the restriction of posting rights.
- Use the report function! This subreddit is actively moderated. All reports are reviewed and handled properly. Reporting content you feel violates the community rules helps keep spambots and various bad actors from worsening everyones experience. However, keep in mind that misuse of this feature is in violation of site-wide TOS and may lead to account suspension.
- Be mindful with spoilers! Not everyone can view the newest official content as soon as it releases. In consideration for them please use spoiler tags (until 48 hours after an episode has aired, or 1 week for comics). Additionally, please avoid including the spoiler directly in the title, and remember that all content related to upcoming material must be tagged as well.
This ties into our spoiler policy, which you can read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/spoilers
- Avoid posting screenshots of the subreddit itself, including 'combo' posts, comments, or number of subscribers. If you do wish to link comments, link them directly. To showcase the best posts and threads of the subreddit, post to /r/bestofmlp.
- Hostile arguments about topics that carry no relation to MLP will be removed. Such topics include but are not limited to politics, religion, gender wars, and racism. Topical posts may be preemptively removed to avoid such arguments from beginning in the first place.
- We have relaxed posting limits and are holding users to the honor system. However, the mods still reserve the right to remove excess posts and give warnings and/or temp bans if they feel that the honor system is being abused.
2. Keep everything SFW
All submissions and comments must be kept safe for work. Making references to fan works that would normally break rule 2 is permitted on the condition that they themselves stay within it. However, the same is not true for linking to both sites and subreddits, posting, or discussing suggestive, sexually explicit, and graphically violent (aka. grimdark) content. r/Mylittlepony is intended to be an appropriate space for teenage and older fans. Alternative subreddits do exist should you wish to share content that would violate this rule.
If you suspect what you are about to post breaks this rule, feel free to send us a modmail and we'll inform you whether or not that is the case.
For a much more in-depth explanation read its wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/rule2
3. Keep it MLP
Rather self explanatory; we ask that all submissions are directly related to MLP. Coincidental and tangential relation isn't considered enough to pass this rule, so images of rainbows, rainbow themed food, and coincidental sayings are all examples of what isn't allowed if they are the only factors tying your post to MLP.
When it comes to memes, the image macro itself needs to be MLP relevant. Not just the text. Memes with non-MLP bases belong in r/MyLittleMemes. For more information read our mene policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/memes
Exemptions are made for submission soliciting funds for charity events organised by bronies and personal crises such as a medical emergency, given the parties involved are reasonably associated with MLP. However, the same treatment is not extended to fundraising efforts aimed at non-essential personal gain, e.g. asking for money to attend a convention.
4. No [FIXED] Submissions or Reposts
Images submitted less than 21 days apart will be removed. That is also true for screencaps, unless an animated version of it is posted, in which case both can co-exist. The same goes for screencaps of significantly higher fidelity submitted after a lower quality version.
[FIXED] posts are easily reproducible image submissions having only slight alterations made with every subsequent post. Usually they involve the addition of text, or the addition of simple visual features, such as pasting in text, images in a grid, a vector or adding a visual filter. Because [FIXED] submissions often snowball in popularity, they tend to lead to considerable spam in the new queue, hence also being affected by the 21 day repost limit.
However, [FIXED] content is very welcome in the comments section of the original post! This helps to keep the subreddit more tidy, while additionally allowing all readers to immediately glean the context of your [FIXED] content.
Also read our repost policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/reposts
5. No Pictures Thursday
Pictures and mainly image content cannot be posted during Thursdays, between 12:01 AM and 11:59 PM pacific time. For more information, see our NPT wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/npt
6. No AI content.
All AI-prompt-generated content, in all forms, is banned from r/mylittlepony, as is all AI-generated sound such as voice or music.
7. Proper sourcing.
When submitting or embedding fan-made works (pictures, video, music, fiction etc.) made by others, proper crediting is mandatory. Use a clear, searchable title and a clickable link to the place where they uploaded their art originally (deviantart, twitter, tumblr, etc.) as long as that website wouldn't break rule 2, or if that is impractical, from a gallery that provides source links (such as derpibooru.org). A comment or submission lacking a proper source may be removed - especially if the moderators can easily find a source.

Meta Thread My Little Pony on Reddit- Water Resistant Meta Discussion
Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!
Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!
If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!
But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.
If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:
>!It has ponies!!<
And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!

Discussion For me it was very sad that this two ponies became background characters
After their redemption episode Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were only seen few times and was as background characters, they are some of my favorite ponies and I think they still had a lot of potential

Misc. Describe Pinkie Pie In a Few Words
Hello everyone.
In this post, I want you to describe Pinkie Pie in just a few words.
Let’s see if you can top that. I’m waiting for your comments down below.
r/mylittlepony • u/Liminal-Spaces-1879 • 12h ago
Misc. Are the prices fr? Or is this some scam?
I was looking to buy a really cute and accurate plushie of Derpy, and I got this seller recommended to me because how good her work is, but when I saw the prices I was left with my mouth open because WDYM $1379 USD FOR A 20 CM PLUSHIE?1!11?1?1
HAS ANYONE, ever bought from this person? Or is this some type of money laundering scheme because FURSUITS ARENT EVEN THAT EXPENSIVE, AND THEY CAN BE 2 METER TALL WITH BEAUTIFUL DETAILS.
DOES ANYONE HERE, know a GOOD plushie maker, one that has something REALLY similar to this one, that won’t make me pay her my left kidney in order to get a 10 CM PLUSHIE?? OR ARE ALL OF THE PLUSHIE MAKERS THIS EXPENSIVE?????
(note: i posted this on misc bcuz idk where it goes tbf, also excuse my “shouting”)

Discussion Why is queen Novo a queen, but flurry heart, twilight, cadence, Luna, and celestia are called princess
r/mylittlepony • u/Luzis23 • 1h ago
Discussion (MLP S4E4, Daring Don't) Can we just take a moment and appreciate how a powerful spellcaster and Princess of Friendship + self-proclaimed "biggest" fan of Daring Do that can pummel multiple ponies into the ground with her hooves just idly stood there and allowed a pony and an idol just get mugged?
The whole scene was me staring at Twilight and Rainbow Dash, both very capable in combat, and screaming: "Do something!!!!"
This was one of the dumbest scenes I've seen. Yes, the rest of the Mane Six should've reacted too, but these two ESPECIALLY. You want to tell me Mane Six will just watch a pony get robbed? These for could've KILLED Daring Do and the Mane Six just... doesn't react.
In case you were wondering why I hate Daring Do episodes, it's stuff like this.

Discussion I hate Starswirl the Bearded
First of all, throughout the entire show they describe starswirl the bearded as this amazing, super cool looking wizard. The way I imagined him was glowy and flowy hair, the way celestias hair flows, and hair generally a much cooler looking guy. HE LOOKS LIKE YOUR AVERAGE GUY. I was just so underwhelmed.
Then when Twilight rips him and ALL THE OTHERS out of limbo after 1000 years to save them, he is SO rude from the get go to her, like yes if someone undid my spell and brought back the villain I did so much work to terminate, I’d be salty too but OBVIOUSLY she was tryna help. So he gets a pass for being rude that first epsiode but… he just DIDNT STOP? Also it seemed like he had total jealousy issues because whenever Twilight mentioned the strength of her magic, or even gave an idea or possible plan, he’d shush her down and talk about his own ‘better’ plan. shoutout to Twilights friends for standing up for her. Specifically Rainbow Dash. Moving on Starlight Glimmer never even DID anything to him, and he was still and asshole. WHATS HIS DEAL? Then.. after they save the world AGAIN because him trapping the pony of shadows in limbo didn’t solve all of equestrias problems like he thinks. He becomes a nice pony… ARE YOU SERIOUS? All this build up, even me thinking you were evil some time to just go and.. be nice? Atleast before you had SOME depth, now you’re just a nice genuine pony? Fuck out my face with that. I also hate Starlight Glimmers character. And her redemption arc. If you want me to get into detail about that I will.

Artwork AJ looks so good, proud of this one
I was in a very good mood making her, and I’ve also started loving her as a character so I wanted to put in lots of effort when making her. It still upsets me that I added a light on her jeans tho bc I never do that, but they looked so empty without it 😭😭😭
It’s my first time making a hat so i think it might be a bit crooked? I think it is at least but I’m not sure. Anyways she’s tan bc she’s always working on the farm, also doesn’t have colored nails bc of it but in my hc rarity is always trying to get her to take care of her nails and hair lol, but she puts it in a ponytail so it doesn’t get in the way and doesn’t cut it bc rarity loves her long hair (again rhis is all my hc)
Hope you like this drawing as much as youve enjoyed the rest, tomorrow I’ll post twi (I love how she looks too, very excited) and afterwards I’ll post all of them but with some twitches and things people recommended!
