A Group for the Brains...And a Group for the Brawns · 12:57pm May 24th, 2019
Has anyone ever had this knowledge that in spite of the Pillars of Old being the legendary heroes, there was a pony who was the very key to bringing them together? A pony who has intelligence and likes to think things through no matter what, but wasn’t noticed by anypony in the beginning?
And, might I add, let darkness corrupt him because of being neglected, until two certain ponies turned him around and he was able to reconcile his friendship with the Pillars?
Well, look no further, because this group is dedicated to the very character you’re looking for:
Are you looking for a group that’s dedicated to a Pillar of Old that not only has a muscular body, but also a heart of gold? Are you also looking for a Pillar who has surprising complexity among others? And who was even able to catch the attention of a certain young yak that goes to the School of Friendship?
Well, look no further, because this group is dedicated to the Pony you’re all looking for:
These two groups here are another couple that I founded, and once again, it was based on after being surprised that no one else had made an individual group dedicated to each of these characters.
So, what do you guys think? Anyone want to join?
I joined them. :)
In the short-time we got to know about Stygian, it all goes to show that just because a pony seemingly did something awful to become 'evil' it doesn't necessarily mean we got the whole story. What we've originally led to assume he purposely stole the items for his own gain, it was only because deep down he felt envious that despite all his smarts to make up for his lack of power every pony in his time only gave credit to the heroes who did the actual work. The worst thing about is was that not once did they even think to give Stygian the credit for making this possible as if deep down they had all these egos that were left unchecked (The worst coming from Star Swirl whether we admit it or not). No one could understand what Stygian was going through and thus he'd been left in the darkness for so long, he thought no one could ever reach him. But then comes Starlight who believes that he wasn't as evil as the Pillars assumed he was, rather a misunderstood pony like herself and yet even Twilight forgot to take that into consideration because she wanted 'desperately' to please one of her heroes. And yet had Starlight not pointed out that 'she' could've been banished for her crimes had Star Swirl been around, then Twilight herself would not only have lost a good student... But a really good friend.
As for Rockhoof, his story was an example of a pony who came from nothing and grew to be the hero when the world needed him. A pony once a scrawny lad overlooked by the bigger, stronger ponies when his town was in danger and not even their guards could save them Rockhoof took a great risk and rushed head on even if he didn't think he could win. Turns out a higher power saw the bravery in him and bestowed upon him the strength and power needed to prevent a river of lava from consuming his home. Yet even after doing so and even after being a big help to save Stygian, it was difficult for him to adjust to the modern era to the point he couldn't even go back to his own home (All because of that rather snooty archaeologist). Still, had Yona not stood up and told him how his story encouraged her, he would never have realized he already has a place. Until the world is in need of his heroics in the future, there is a place for Rockhoof as a storyteller, to inspire the new generation of his noble deeds and pave way for new heroes when the time comes.
I’m already in both of these (although I just joined the Rockhoof one yesterday)!

Do you have any favorites out of the two?

Would you guys be willing to help me out by promoting the groups that I founded long ago and you joined not too long ago? You know, by sharing them on your blog posts and the other groups you’re a part of where it could be appropriate enough?

Rockhoof for me. He has his funny moments during the show, he also displays tremendous bravery, and he looks out for the little ones. And perhaps in some way he had a bit of regret for what happened to Stygian, even before when 'friendship' wasn't part of the group. Sure he felt betrayed that it seemed Stygian stole their most precious items but even so. After all those years, to hear the truth about what really happened, you almost have to wonder, 'Oh my God... I almost banished an innocent pony into the endless abyss.'
