New story, and shameless self-promotion: Who Hijacked Twilight Sparkle? · 1:11am Apr 30th, 2016
Hello, all!
I've had this idea for a while: A crossover with My Little Pony and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. When I realized that today was the second anniversary of Bob Hoskins' death, it suddenly felt important for me to finally get to work and write the thing. So, that's what I did. Got home from work and cranked the whole thing out in one sitting. It felt important for me to get it up on the site today, so I did a bad thing and skipped the editing/pre-reading process. I hope the story doesn't suffer too much because of that.
When I first started up Hoopy's Notebook, this was one of the stories that I wanted to put in there. As I was writing it, though, I realized it was a little bit outside the scope for what I intended the Notebook stories to be. So, instead, I published it as a stand-alone. Grabbed a screencap of Twilight looking surprised from the Pinkie Apple Pie episode for the cover art, and off we went.
I really hope you all enjoy it!

I read the first part of the story description and immediately thought it was a side story to A Dream. Because hijacking Twilight is certainly something Valiant would do.

That is perhaps the most unexpected crossover I've ever seen. :D
So outta curiosity, how old is Teddy and how old was his father Eddie when he died? Cause I did some math... If Eddie was 45 or 46 years old in 1947 (Bob was that age around 1988 when Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out), he'd have died at the age of 112 or 113 in 2014!
Edit: Also the whole "Darla Dimples" thing... the events of Cats Don't Dance took place in a fictional version of 1939... Close to a decade before the events of WFRR (and thus a while before Teddy was born).
Mostly just wanna know your timeline for events, ages and such of characters.

Drat... you're right. I did the math weeks ago and realized that it would probably be better if Ted was Eddie's grandson. Then I got into writing it and just forgot about all that.
So, uh... time passes differently in that universe?
3906422 Ya could always just edit it to say he is the son of Eddie Valient Jr, and today marks the anniversary of both when his father AND grandfather died (both of whom were so alike it was scary). But hey, your story, I just was trying to get clarification...
Also, I edited into my previous post that The events of Cats Don't Dance took place BEFORE the events of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1939 and 1947 respectively in their own alternate universe timelines).
But still, LOVE the shout outs to other classic cartoons... Binky the Clown from the old Garfield show made me cringe even as a kid.
YES!
Believe it or not, only last week I speculated about exactly this. Imma read this.
