    Reboot(s) incoming.

    You know what? I think I'm ready to repopen some old stories. Specifically, Error Code: FiO, Tale of a Comet: White Light, and Half past ten.

    Audience participation time!

    I'm writing an intermission chapter before the next big story arc of potion shop. It's titled "Arca gets on a train and nothing interesting happens, I swear."

    What MLP character should Arca encounter on the train? And why that character in particular?

    No wrong answers.

    Phoenixfur (I'm back! Ask me stuff?)

    Yeah, I'm back. And honestly I could use a bit of a soundboard to get my creativity flowing at max again. So if you have any questions for me, ask away! I can also try to answer in-character for any of my characters from prank war or the potion shop.

    Writing trouble

    I'm gonna be honest. These last two months have been super tough for me. Not asking for pity or anything, but I've had to put my dog down and my Grandfather's been in and out of ICU for a while now with brain surgeries.

    Mentally, I'm just exhausted.

The super official Prank War suggestion thread of awesomness · 4:58am Dec 30th, 2018

Hello! And welcome to my desperate plea for help suggestion box! I will be completely honest, I'm starting to run low on new, origional ideas for my Prank War story. 3 months of updating 3-4 times a week will do that to you.

So, time for audience participation! What kind of pranks do YOU want to see Nick, the Royal sisters, and company bug each other with? Put them here so I can have 'em all in one place. You will be credited for your ideas in the corresponding chapter.

Reminder: This is a rated E story, for all ages. Any pranks of a sexual, overly morbid, or otherwise disturbing nature will be disregarded, regardless of how funny they may be.

And of course, your obligatory rickroll link:

velociraptor in the refrigerator.
don't ask why or how it just popped in my head.

Replace all Celestial’s cakes with moon pies.

I yet again question why you and I are up so late.

Have Nick and Celestia switch bodies for the day. After all Nick can’t get into trouble for things he technically didn’t do.

See here's the thing.

You take your buddy camping, somewhere near a river, and wait until nighttime. Then, after carefully duct taping their sleeping bag shut, douse then with a bucket of water and yell,

"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! THE DAM BROKE!"

Afterwards, present them with an award for "fastest hopping in a sleeping bag". If they smile/laugh, it's probably safe to let them out of the bag.

Twilight: Nick, what have you done?
Nick: I used a potion I got from a place in Rainbow Falls. It was supposed to make whoever had some taste everything as spicy for a day. Not shrink them to doll size.
Twilight: In Rainbow Falls? Please tell me it wasn't Alchemiracles.
Nick: Yeah, that's the place. Something wrong about that shop?
Twilight: Oh no. Just that the owner makes you and Pinkie look totally normal.
Nick: I shall go jump into the moat now.

Nick give everyone a glass of cider, spiked with poison joke. Maybe extra dose for the Royal Sister.

Jeez, Juniper musta made that one. The only potions Arca messes up these days are mane growth potions and experimental potions gone wrong (the latter of which he would never sell until he got them right)

4987996
I may use that in a future munched chalter... didnt even know those were a thing.
And to quote the comic Zits, "You aren't tired until you can count the blood vessels in your eyeballs."

Nick should (re)create the El Mongo Stink bomb(Ed Edd n Eddy) and be the only one with a gasmask

- Twilight and Discord make a spell that makes every door Nick go through take him to a random place
- More poison joke stuff on Nick? Something on accident where his plan to prank someone else backfires and he gets himself. Everyone thinks he's fine cause his infinite luck doesn't kick in but it's something else like he's invisible and so he uses that to mess with Celestia during day court. Or maybe he glows in the dark and he's pissed cause all of his pranks fail because they see him before he can do it. Random other symptoms that I dunno how to make work but I'm just spitballing: Insanely good eyesight, shapeshift into something (Kind of cliche with poison joke but could be funny?), insanely intelligent/fast thinker, insane bad luck.
- Pinkie does something to The Cake Stash™

I'm out of ideas.
Haikus are kind of a pain.
It's snowing on Mount Fuji.

Could go for some of the classics.

Whoppee cushion under the throne
Itching powder mixed into their shampoo
Laxatives in a cake
Air horn that goes off when a door opens
Pink hair dye in bluebloods body wash

Body swap would be glorious. Especially if the victim does it willingly and/or it backfires. Might be a possibility for a Munched chapter?

Make the annoying Dog real or turn Nick into fluffle puff or turn rainbow dash into the nylon cat or the banana man song

I'm working on a prank war story between myself and Rainbow Dash. It's not released yet, but I can let you use a little cannon me and my brothers made. It's designed to fire concentrated liquids at clouds or hard targets from a long range. You can dye clouds(what I'm going to do to Dash's house." adjust the chemical composition of the rain in a cloud, spray a certain area in a liquid. the rounds are easy to assemble and load. It even comes with a book my brother wrote made to help you aim the thing. Think about the possibilities. You could prank them from miles away. It's designed to be non-lethal, so don't worry about hurting anybody. However, even thought the rounds can be manufactured by anyone with the blueprints, the rounds are fired by magic. You'll need a unicorn or an alicorn to get the thing to work. How do you feel about a cameo from me?

more prank ideas:
clean clear glass lining a doorway
frame one of your cake heists on Luna (or vice versa)
portal spell leading directly to the moat.
Claim to have been pranked and act angry all day and pester them about whose fault it was and how they'll fix it. (did that in real life once.)
Hire someone to act like a foreign diplomat and have them talk in gibberish.
Replace Celestia's throne with a toilet.

4988191
Considerable. If you profile picture is the character though I may have to temporarily nerf you to unicorn status since I try to keep Prank War within the show's canon.

4988195
Alright. It is. I'll pm you a description of my OC without the wings.

Here's an idea
Have Nick pull the same prank over and over again and as they get used to that same prank - or get paranoid that Nick is planning something else - just have Nick stop that prank and just go back to regular pranks, but here's the (in my opinion) fun part: every once and a while Nick will go back to using that same prank and once they ultimately figure out what he's doing he will pull an even bigger prank that none of them would have expected.
That or you could just have Nick not prank anybody for a few days and let him stir up some paranoia :pinkiehappy:

The first prank was inspired by what you said in the blog about original prank ideas, and the second I thought of when I was typing down the first.

Ooh I know! Mark the story as completed for a day and watch the fun.

...Nah, too cruel

A prank for Pinkie Pie
Nick orders a prank cake for a "friend" from pinkie, something like with the sugar and salt switched... when pinkie say something like "I would like to see the look on this mystery mares face, when she taste this cake", Nick shows the card saying its for her.
then hold up a mirror... "eat up"

ANW

Steps for my biggest prank yet.
1.Come up with a secret code.
2.Pat myself on the back for coming up with a code that nopony has ever seen before.
3.Write this list in said code.
4.Post this note where Celestia can see it.
5.Enjoy watching her get nervous as she cracks the code.
On his list only: 6.Explain the code if I think they had enough. With a real hint.

Use a cryptogram maker so others might play along.
Feel free to customize the note and target to your favor.

Have Nick make it so Celestia somehow wakes up in a fat suit and think all the cakes caught up with her at once.

Hey ashfur, you should do a prank involving an unmarked potion from Arca and have it used on Nick to see what would happen if he were given a mane or fur growth potion...
A comment I made earlier, was referred to here for posting ideas

Also- another idea- have celestia and Luna invert nicks personal gravitational field (we all have one!) so that instead of being pulled towards the ground, he’s pushed away, but only have it work IN the castle, either that or do it to blueblood

Have Nick set up a stall in front of the castle (like almost directly beside the front door) selling fake, hilariously wrong maps of the castle that are believable to all but those who work in the castle, except maybe luna.

Have Nick dress as The Merchant from Resident Evil 4 and have discord be a double of him while he sells various cute things for next to free, (for deniabilty when the fallout happens) then have Cadance and luna have a price war that escalates into some of the most expensive stuffed toys in history (I recommend looking up real life examples).

Have Nick mess with Luna's star charts so they look somewhat like the painting Starry Skies by Van Gogh.

Have Nick introduce the idea of daylight savings time to the entire palace, but have it be set off by 3 hours (how you get by Celestia and Luna moving the sun and moon is up to you...)

4990137
It's a 'Munched' prank idea that I have. Have Nick give Celesta a cake claiming it's an 'apology' for all the times he has tried to steal cakes from her. The prank is: He used salt in place of sugar and added laxerits, (how ever you spell that word). What do you think?

4990852
I know it was a minor detail in some chapter (forgot which one), but I subscribe to the idea of 'salt is to ponies as alcohol is to humans' idea, so swapping the sugar and salt would make Celly super drunk

4990853
Yeah! Think of how much she would embarrass herself while drunk. She would also still be able to toss Nick into the moat while drunk as a instinct thing.

Nick tells Luna his appreciation of hooters.
Luna being the friend she is tells Fluttershy.
Fluttershy is delighted at Nick's love of owls so asks Owlowiscious to go see Nick and "bring friends".
Nick wakes up in the middle of the night to see a pair of glowing eyes across his room.
A rustle later brings fifty more pairs as the other owls in the room swivel their heads to look at him.
Que freak out.

4992908
Honestly? That sounds hilarious. And it would be better if Nick just mentioned it offhand.
That said, you just gave me an idea for a completely seperate, equally hilarious prank...

4992922
Yeah, I agree it has to be more of an off hand remark. Glad to be of help, I'm sure some other random madness will pop up to throw your way.
I would imagine it'd also work if he mentioned tits instead of hooters. Pretty sure Fluttershy would be the one to have a horde of titmice flying around somewhere. It'd be the birdseed incident all over again.

4992946
Mentioning Hooters is risky enough, because rated E
Saying tits goes against the story rating

4992950
Didn't think of that, fair point. Back to Twilight's chalk board to cover it in color changing paint. Discord gave it to me so it'd change to match the chalk she uses.

4992953
That's it! INVISIBLE INK!

Put a little bit of salt on the top of Tia's sugar jar that is on her tea set. Let the reign of Drunklestia begin!

Just not too much due to tolerances and the whole dying part if you ingest too much sodium. Don't quote me on the salt having that effect for realzies but I've read other stories on here that have used it as a plot device.

Hey there!

Just started reading the Prank War story you got and I have to say i love it! But I must know before reading on, did you ever make a prank with gators in the moat and Nick jumping in and thinking he was going to be eaten and it turns out to be Gummies relatives? or anything of the such?

Now after the hot sauce spiked cake Nick gets some winter mint extract and puts it in everything Celestia eats all day.

Ok. So Luna will be evil.
She will find Pinkie, and bring he to the castle.
She will give Pinkie caffiene mixed with sugar (LOTS of sugar). She will promptly evacuate everyone, except Tia and Nick.
Then...
She seals the castle magically.
Leaving them trapped together for....Eh...Until the Caffeine wears off.

Hidden Whoopee cushions everywhere in the castle!:pinkiehappy:

Following the directions, I would like to properly suggest two different pranks.

1) Nick pranks Celestia and Luna by slipping an enchanted paper packet into their daily paperwork. He then distracts them with a less subtle prank to draw their attention away from their work. The packet is enchant to duplicate for every half hour that it is not properly filled out. This enchantment applies to its duplicates as well. The result an ever growing pile of legal documents.

2) Celestia or Luna makes a bet with Nick and wins, the resulting prank is he has to go out on a blind date as Nickel Ingot.

Here's a thought..... use Flurry Heart to beat them with THE CUTE!!!!! Ps Alt idea tell them about the idea that something can be cute enough to kill and then watch them freak out as they realize how many cute things are in their world.....

Here's a prank idea
Prankers: Nick and Discord
Victims: Celestia and luna... and maybe blueballs

Nick has discord put up an enchantment on the castle so whenever they say certain words -of your choosing - instead of the word everyone except for celestia and luna hear a censor bleep

tilting all the paintings in the castle... nothing as timeless as that.

Cue evil laughter

if you want, you can add a twist where their vision makes it looks tilted, or the castle is tilted, or that Nick tilts the paintings after they left. But i prefer my idea.

Oh... and for twilight, make it so that every book has the wrong cover. I know you did something similar in doofus decimal system but it would be more funny if that happened again AND the covers were changed around...

Cue even more evil laughter

BTW can one of the books she reads be War of the Worlds? that's kind of my favourite.

Have Discord bring a horse from earth and introduce him as Poseidon King of All Equines.

Teleporting cakes whenever celestia tries to take a bite from a gigantic cake made for her by Luna and nick it teleports just out of her reach right before she can taste it's sugary sweetness

Heres an idea!

Nick walks around in a rubber horse mask claiming to be various ponies and everyone believes him.
Maybe he claims the pony he's copying is a changeling and the pony gets dogpiled by the guard.

Mc buys the moat and declares it sovereign territory so that when he steals Celestas Cake and he jumps in the moat, they cant do anything due to a technical lack of jurisdiction.

The longest most patient rubegoldbergian device ever. It starts with a single domino!
