Hey everyone, this may be a little silly, but--
I'm working on developing a Sonic the Hedgehog roleswap AU for use as part of a TTRPG I'm thinking about. However, I don't know any Sonic fans whom I could bounce ideas off of. Would anyone be interested in helping me soundboard / flesh out some ideas?

I had a thought recently for some worldbuilding regarding family structures and naming conventions among the three tribes of ponies. There's not a ton of hard evidence to support these ideas, but they provide one explanation for (some of) what we see in the show, and they help each tribe stand out a little from the others.

Ancient ponies tended to travel in large family units. Young stallions who were too old to stay with their families, but too young to form families of their own, often joined "bachelor herds" with other single males. Though we're now much more refined in many ways, ponies are still ponies, and sometimes, young, single stallions will still form a tight-knit bachelor herd--something more than friends, less than family, but rock-solid all the same. One example is "The Batch," a group of six

Celestia established the School for Gifted Unicorns and the Wonderbolts to help educate and train particularly talented unicorns and pegasi--perhaps even to screen for especially talented individuals she could recruit as advisors or agents. However, one of the biggest open secrets in Equestria is Equestria A&M, a college established to do the same for Earth Ponies.

This occurred to me over the weekend, and I love the idea. Here's the basics:

I'm a sucker for next-gens, plus tragic stories of star-crossed lovers. I recently stumbled across some art that reminded me of an idea that scratched both itches, and I'm curious what you think.

I've always liked the idea that Sunburst and Sunset are related somehow. This headcanon fills in some gaps in EQG canon while playing off that idea. I'm not sure I believe it myself, but it's a fun idea.

Hey, odd question: any Deaf/HoH bronies on here? I'd like to consult about a story idea I have, in which Big Mac is Deaf. I like the idea, but I want to make sure I'm treating the disability respectfully, raising awareness rather than making fun, etc., etc., but the advice I got on Reddit was "Unless you're Deaf yourself, don't." I'd like to talk to someone about this idea, maybe even collab on it, to make sure it's the best it can be. If you'd like to talk, I would love to hear from you,

So, I've been reading through the rulebook for the new My Little Pony RPG (would anyone be interested in a review/writeup?), and one of the locations they mentioned is "Applewood"--pony-Hollywood, which, the book says, is where the Elements of Harmony are at their weakest. I've found myself brainstorming for what a story/adventure set there might look like, and how the ponies would contend with a part of Equestria where the Elements simply don't function.
