Just watched episode 9 with "Flutterguy". That was hilarious.

So, I was wondering.... which of the Mane 6 does everypony feel they relate to the most? For me, it would definitely be Twilight. Obsessed with knowledge, terrified of being tardy, etcetera.... except my schedule and relations with others are based around my athletic agenda. That's a pretty big difference, but Twilight is still the most similar to me by a longshot.

Oh, and I make sandwiches talk.

[Tasardur]

I would have to say Rainbow Dash or Apple Jack. I actually feel like a mix between those two and Twilight.

I crave intelligence and adventure. I am extremely competitive as well as extremely loyal. Once I set a goal for myself I will die to complete it.

[RogueLeader]

ProbablyTwilight or Pinkie Pie for me.

What songs do you think would go well with characters? Personally, I think "Defying Gravity" from Wicked is Luna's theme song all the way. Every time I watch Luna Eclipsed I hear the last verse play in my head whe Luna does her "if you will not love your princess" speech. I also think that on the original broadway cast recording, Idina Menzel even sounds a bit like Luna.

Send "Wicked Defying Gravity" Ringtone to your cell
GLINDA
(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!

ELPHABA
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition

BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

GLINDA
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:

ELPHABA
(spoken) I know:
(sung) But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore:

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem:

BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:

ELPHABA So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!

ELPHABA
:Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her

ELPHABA
Ahhh!

CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!

Great post, Rogue. Personally, though, I think Luna by Eurobeat Brony is the song for me

Outside of songs actually written about characters....

Going Under by EV for Celestia.... think about it....

Your Star by EV for Luna

Invidia by Delain for Nightmare Moon

Vampires by Figure for Chrysalis (no idea why, it just fits for some reason....)

Invincible by Muse for Cadance

Delirium by Epica for Twilight (The Return of Harmony part 2)

[RogueLeader]

So I need some help. I'm trying to make a PMV to "Defying Gravity"- it's supposed to showcase Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon but I don't know what to put at the beginning of the song.

I say, start at the beginning.... or as far back as is recorded visually, that is.

I just need something to go with Glinda's lines at the start.

Back on topic about songs, "Numb" by Linkin Park or "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence are good for crazy Twilight in "Lesson Zero".

Numb:

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me,
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take.

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

And I know
I may end up failing too.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)


"Everybody's Fool"

perfect by nature
icons of self-indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame? Don't you see me?
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide?
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

[Luna]

Hmmm.... well, there are plenty of instances in which Luna/Nightmare Moon is 'flying off the handle'....

Crazy Twilight is funny. Discord-twisted Twilight is sad.

I laugh at this part every time:



Seriously, you all have no idea how much fun it is to fly about in a carriage.



Everybody's Fool actually reminds me more of Twilight vs. Trixie

Hmmm.... well, there are plenty of instances in which Luna/Nightmare Moon is 'flying off the handle'....

My biggest problem comes at the lines

"I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!"

[RogueLeader]

Oh no
