Title: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on August 11, 2018, 05:48:51 PM: My favorite season (as of right now) has got to be fall. Who are the ponies that would be best in an autumn photoshoot?
The most obvious one I've found is Autumn Skye:

Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on August 11, 2018, 06:34:21 PM: There's also some G3 Halloween ponies! Abra-ca-dabra, Pumpkin Tart, Fun Fairy, and Lovely Ladybug! Fall is my favorite season too! Can't wait for Summer to end (especially since it's my least favorite...).

Post by: LadyMoondancer on August 11, 2018, 06:49:59 PM: Autumn Skye is the one that immediately sprung to mind for me too!

Post by: Sweet Daes on August 11, 2018, 07:07:40 PM: To be honest, I wish Autumn Skye had a pumpkin cutiemark instead. The first thing that comes to mind with me about her is Cinderella.

Post by: Sunset on August 11, 2018, 07:49:05 PM: There is Gusty of course! Unless you where only looking for G3?

OH, and there is Autumn Crisp!

Also, any of the birth flower ponies for the autumn months, whether G1 or G3.

Also, pies are something I think of when I think of the fall. So maybe Boysenberry Pie? Her colors are fall-ish.

Post by: toyjunky on August 11, 2018, 08:23:06 PM: A lot of the ones I would say have already been mentioned, but G3 Peachie Keen also reminds me of autumn (maybe it is the colors).

Ahh! autumn crisp was my fave I never knew many people paid much attention to her im so glad you mentioned her! <3

hmm Could Pumpkin Cake count as an Autumnal pony even if she doesnt have her cutie mark yet? Alphabittle reminds me of fall too since she has hot soup as her cutiemark/symbol. Maybe its just me but soup reminds me of fall ^.^

Post by: Sky_Rocket_Sammie on August 11, 2018, 10:06:21 PM: My favorite season and my favorite G3, along with those already mentioned.
Title: Re: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: katrine2309 on August 11, 2018, 11:08:18 PM: I love autumn!

In addition to those already mentioned I think Blueberry Baskets, Apple Delight Family and Lucky Leaf and Leafy also are autumn themed.

I really think that Flutterbye have autumn colors as well, although her symbol is more summery (being butterflies).

Post by: glitterball on August 12, 2018, 01:56:16 AM: G1 Butterscotch, with her golden colour scheme :)

G1 Gypsy - with her oranges and purple bits on her tambourine symbols.

G1 Rosette - yellow body with peachy-orangy-brown hair and cute freckles :lol:

Of course, G1 Windy + Gusty :cool:

ETA - G1 Munchy - just for the colourings, G4 Sunset Shimmer, G4 Apple Bloom

I was going to say Rosette as well for the same reasons. Great minds :D And Gypsy definitely...

Also, in the UK, Fizzy.

I'll explain this for anyone not familiar with either a: comics or b: British traditions.

On 5th November each year we have Guy Fawkes Night, aka Bonfire Night, which is when we commemorate the thwarting of a plot to blow up parliament in 1605. We have bonfires, set of fireworks (Signifying gunpowder I guess) and occasionally burn a "Guy" (effigy) on the bonfire (to represent the person caught trying to do the deed). In short, where the US has independence day, we have burn-a-guy day. And it's been going on since pretty much the 1600s in some form or other. In the Uk the only times of year when fireworks are allowed really late I think are around 5th November and New Year.

So if that sounds a bit macabre for My Little Pony, the UK pony comic had its own version of this called Fizziwhizz night. And of course, Fizzy was the mistress of this celebration and so appeared each November in the comics in relation to this festival. For that reason, Fizzy is an autumn pony for me.

On the same connection, maybe we can say TE Sky Rocket as well, and even sparkle Sky Rocket - but it's really Fizzy who for me is the autumn pony, because of Fizziwhizz night.

I'm sure LM probably has one of the stories or comic covers in her treasure trove of comics to illustrate this phenomenon.

Oh man, I had forgotten about her! And forgot just how pretty she is. :P

Heh, no wonder I forgot how pretty she is. I looked at her page on the Wiki and in both her white hair isn't very noticeable. Your photo shows off her beauty much better!

OMGS she's cute! I like her a lot. Never seen her before.
Title: Re: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: BlushingBlue on August 12, 2018, 10:34:18 AM: Some more G3s that might fit:

Butterscotch, because of her golden color and candy symbol
October Calendula, obvs, and Magic Marigold
Applejack, Candy Apple, and Apple Spice
Title: Re: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: NightGliderSA on August 13, 2018, 02:07:43 AM: Fun! (except it is coming on for spring where we are :))

I love G3 Autumn Skye: she is so high up on my wish list. And of course I immediately thought of G1 Gusty. Love Gusty.
Title: Re: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: LadyMoondancer on August 13, 2018, 03:27:38 PM: Wow, I've never seen G2 Autumn before! Great color combo!
Title: Re: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: flutterscotch on August 13, 2018, 04:02:53 PM: I actually put together an Autumn pony shrine on the equinox.

The cast includes:
Skyflier
Gusty + Baby Gusty (the sparkle version, baby's a custom)
The aforementioned Autumn Skye (who was the first G3 I bought)
Any and all Apple ponies, but especially Applejack (I need to get the Apple Delight family again).

And these two just kinda feel like early fall to me:
Flutter Wind Drifter
Argentina version of Whirly (who is like almost a smaller Wind Drifter)
Italian Butterscotch just feels like fall. I have a butterscotch variant for every season because I'm a dork (current summer one is the 35th anniversary re-release).

Gypsy and Pumpkin Tart come out in October.

Here they are in their box, not quite ready to come out yet.

Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on August 14, 2018, 07:44:45 AM: Autumn Crisp is so nice but it looks like no one is selling her!
Apple ponies are a good point, I was going to count AJ and her brother out, but they really do belong in fall!

The Apple Delights then.

Post by: Sky_Rocket_Sammie on August 14, 2018, 10:01:12 AM: Autumn Crisp is my second favorite autumn themed pony, shame I never found her in the wild. Autumn Sky was the pony who got me into the line. I remember hearing about her and worrying she wouldn't be released States-side.
Title: Re: Autumnal Ponies
Post by: Harmonie on August 14, 2018, 06:33:03 PM: I adore Autumn Skye. I got her pretty quickly when I started collecting. One of my favorite parts of autumn are windy, overcast days and her body color and cutie mark really brings up that image for me. I love her!
