A Lost Opportunity? Five Years Too Late.

[BaronWulfraed]

This is more an example of the strange things my mind comes up with late at night... I don't expect the thread to live very long.

 

I'm pretty sure most of us are familiar with how Colorverse creates series with six boxed sets, each set having a large "snail" and a small "snail" of ink, often different colors or if the same color the smaller one may be a glitter ink.

 

My mind came up with a Hasbro licensed series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic -- The Mane 6

{You can understand why I say "five years too late" as the series finale was last fall, and that was season 9, so going back 5 years would put one into season 4, middle of the run}

 

I see the large snail as being the primary character color (with one exception) and the small bottle being the eye color

{character | large | small -- generic colors, I'm not going to try to pick out existing inks for formal names}

 

• Applejack | muted Orange | Green
• Pinkie Pie | Pink | Cyan
• Fluttershy | muted Yellow (avoid highlighter shade) | Cyan-Green
• Rainbow Dash | bluish Cyan | Magenta
• Rarity | Violet (I don't think a nano-particle titanium white pigment ink would fly, so this is the mane color) | Blue
• Twilight Sparkle | floral Lavender | deep Lavender (maybe with glitter)

 

My first nightmare thoughts had been for body color / mane color -- but Applejack's straw yellow would be practically unseeable, we'd have had two shades of pink for Pinkie, along with a third pink for Fluttershy, two shades of violet for Rarity (maybe glitter for the mane highlight shade), and since we don't have inks that separate into a spectrum Rainbow Dash would likely require a pale yellow-green with a rainbow of glitter particles, Twilight would get the magenta skunk stripe.

 

 

Probably wouldn't have been a high seller -- the show's target demographic is likely still using crayons.

This is the biggest problem with your plan. I would be required (by a brony friend) to purchase this ink for myself, but I don't like the idea of a pale purple (aka lavender) ink as the big bottle. I want the darker purple to be the big bottle. If the little one must have glitter, I'll tolerate it, just not the big one.

Do not underestimate the presence of Bronies in any society...!

 

Why just 6, there's a whole stable to go...

 

Celestia - glow in the dark nanopigment white with rainbow shimmer

 

Luna iron gall BlueBlack

 

 

 

heck why just FiM?

 

Go for Harry Potter characterisations, plus they all use quills too!

This thread makes me laugh; I’ve always called any ink with shimmer “My Little Pony” inks. They remind me of the writing in glitter pen-filled, kawaii-style fluffy-covered notebooks that are all over Instagram. Shimmer inks seem (to me) to be perfect for that demographic ;-)
