I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it in detail. But generally, in My Little Pony (MLP) fanfics, a 'friendship test' could be about the ponies facing challenges that test the strength of their friendships. It might involve things like misunderstandings they need to overcome, or external threats that force them to rely on each other more.
I think it's an interesting take on the theme of friendship. It might show the challenges that characters face in building and maintaining friendships, which is quite relatable. Maybe it has some unique storylines that deviate from the usual positive portrayals of friendship in MLP.
It's hard to give an exact number. Different platforms and artists might have their own versions, and it's constantly changing as new ones could be created.
Since it's an MLP fanfic, likely the main characters would be the well - known ponies like Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack. But without reading it, it's hard to say for sure if there are any new or secondary characters that also play important roles in this specific 'friendship test' story.
Well, it might show the dark side of friendship. Maybe the characters face betrayal or misunderstandings that lead to tragic outcomes, unlike the positive portrayal in the original. It could make the readers think about how fragile friendship can be in certain situations.
In the 'MLP Friendship is Tragic Fanfic', the tragedy could be caused by a change in circumstances. Maybe something in their world changes, like a new threat or a shift in power, and their friendships can't withstand it. Also, hidden secrets among the friends could be a reason. If a secret is revealed that shatters the trust between them, it can lead to a tragic end for their friendship.
Often, the Pokemon characters bring their skills like battling and training, while the MLP characters offer their friendship - based magic. For example, a Pokemon trainer might teach the ponies about strategic thinking in battles, and the ponies could show the trainers how to use the magic of friendship to boost their Pokemon's morale.
Another way their friendship could grow is if there is a threat to Pipsqueak's home. Princess Luna steps in to protect it. Pipsqueak is so grateful that he decides to do something special for Luna. He starts to learn about Luna's favorite things, like the types of stars she likes to look at. He then creates a little star - themed gift for her. Luna is touched by his thoughtfulness, and from then on, they become good friends. Their friendship is based on mutual respect, gratitude, and a growing understanding of each other.
They could develop their friendship through shared experiences. For example, if they both get caught in a magical storm while out exploring. During the storm, they have to rely on each other's strengths. Twilight might use her magic to create a shelter, and Star Tracker could use his star - knowledge to predict when the storm will end. This kind of mutual dependence would strengthen their bond.
Well, Fluttershy is a character that many fanfiction writers like to include. Her gentle and kind nature can form really sweet friendships with human characters. For example, a human who is shy themselves might find comfort in Fluttershy's presence. Applejack is also quite popular. Her strong work ethic and loyalty can be a great influence on human characters in fanfictions. And of course, Spike, the dragon, is often in these fanfictions. His relationship with Twilight and his unique position in Equestria can add an extra layer of intrigue when combined with human interactions, like when he tries to understand human language or customs.
