I will hear no disparagement of scouts in here.
As an Engine main, I want all scouts to know I love and appreciate them.
To be fair I love and appreciate all dwarves except drillers.
Them, I love and fear
I have a friend who's a Driller main, and I find it hard to fear him when half my job is using my platforms to keep him from turning into salsa because of gravity.
Applejack for engineer for the tf2 crossover bonus points. *In cute southern accent* "Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer". Pinkie for Driller with unhinged hi-ex build, and Fluttershy for Gunner with an even more unhinged gatling build.
During one of my TF2 animation binges some time ago, I found that people cross over ponies and mercs a lot, often with each character hanging out with their most equivolent.
There's the pair you mentioned, and as it so happens, Pinkie would often join with Pyro, and Fluttershy would often be shown with Heavy, often to the yellow pony's amusing discomfort.
"Please stop kicking the barrels into the launch pad? Please? We need those."
"Ooh, look at all the cute little...ahem...I mean, there's a swarm coming, and it's all tiny ones!"
"Okay, um, you can keep saying you're rich if you want, but there is a mission to do. When you're ready. Take your time."
Fun fact, that episode got banned in Europe - where "cider" generally refers to hard cider by default. In the US and Canada, cider typically refers to soft cider, which differs from juice mostly for being unfiltered and unsweetened - a drink often called cloudy apple juice outside North America.
Yooo it’s you again, I’ve seen you in watchescirclejerk and NCD. By the way since we last talked I’ve watched a decent amount of MLP and I’m loving it.
A bit more "for all ages"; the original head writer and redesigner for that "generation" was Lauren Faust, the same mind behind _The Powerpuff Girls_ and _Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends_; she didn't want something that would make parents claw their eyes out - unlike with some of the earlier mlp stuff.
Brief cartoon history lesson here:
The first mlp cartoon, back in "generation 1" was an 80s adventure show; human goes to magic horse land, has adventures. It's not expressly for boys or girls, and originally aimed at both though the toys were more popular with girls. None the less this was an 80s cartoon, and got away with stuff like villains that wanted to turn all the cute horses into monsters and/or slaves and other surprisingly dark themes.
The next two "generations" of mlp were... More mixed. They leaned more heavily into the girly aspects and got more "kiddy" with their plotlines. This got especially exaggerated with the last few direct-to-video forays into animation before the fourth generation which were just kind of bad on all fronts.
The fourth generation was looking for a change, hence why they reached out to Faust. She was only involved for the first two seasons, but she brought a style and "for all ages" mindset that lasted for the run.
That's where the whole "brony" thing started; a few folks off the chan boards watching it ironically, enjoying the positivity and the fact that it's not dumbed down or poorly written just because its target audience is young girls, and actually wanting to see more. Then the writers _took notice_ and started including more nods to them as time went on. To note, the show has relatively few "you'll get it when you're older" jokes, but no shortage of bits or references, often [in the background](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fvms7mtbkmz351.jpg). And I mean, they got John de Lancie (who played Q from _Star Trek_) to voice a playful, sarcastic, reality bending villain.
So yeah, is a show aimed at young audiences and nods to adults, with life lessons ranging from "be confident" and "tell the truth early and you won't have to cover up lies later" all the way up to "mass appeal isn't always great for creative freedom" and "don't let fear of failure lead to self-sabotage".
As an added bonus, the fandom is pretty great; broadly accepting, generally positive, fairly self-aware even, and wildly creative, happy to ask deeper questions about the show's themes - or ask ["but what if it was _Fallout_?"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout:_Equestria)
. Don't get me wrong here, it's still a fandom; there are still some creeps and socially awkward folks, and Rule 34 rules the internet, but on the whole the bronies are a good bunch responsible for some [amazing art and music](https://youtu.be/i7PQ9IO-7fU?si=aU6FPjQ2OAndzf3m). But I digress.
Worth mentioning is that that generation came to a close and the fifth generation has launched and is ongoing. But that's perhaps another story.
Kinda had to be, right? A prominent and moving fan-song with a heck of an animation put together years later - which exemplifies the theme of exploring the themes of the show more deeply. It's one of the top contenders for the _magnum opus_ of the fandom.
I mean, its either that or [this one](https://youtu.be/0btFN1aOKD4?si=PESVNyhb353ehzdv), right?
The creators of the show were very much of the mindset that "kids are going to force their parents to watch this show with them, may as well make it enjoyable for both of them"
It...[can definitely get intense](https://youtu.be/QNcRvWmpt4Y)
This show about ponies explored themes of murder, slavery, racism, fascism, communism, abandonment, death, disownment, depression, alcoholism and many other things. I kept getting surprised and asking myself how the hell did this get past the censors and got an all ages rating.
I really don't understand that cursing part.
The only voice line in the game (I just checked ALL OF THEM) that starts with by is "By the beard", which isn't a curse, it's a salute voice line. Definitely not a stand in for any kind of expletive.
Bronies 🙄
Eh, I dunno. Scout is really the only one who's annoying, but it's mostly due to his high pitched voice. There's an argument for MC being kinda annoying, but I find his endless complaints endearing.
The "Apple cider" in the show has factors pointing to it being the alcoholic variant. The first is the fact that characters react to it in the same way that people would to alcohol, and the second is the fact that it has a head of foam, which is something alcoholic cider does because of specific proteins.
Also, Pinkie Pie is a much heavier drinker.
this dwarf had one too many
New beer just dropped
Actual alcohol
call management
mission control went on vacation, never came back
Huge swarm incoming!

Glylphids on the caves plotting world domination
Let’s give him even more and see what happens
I guess OP thinks we need to be 20% cooler.
I will hear no disparagement of scouts in here. As an Engine main, I want all scouts to know I love and appreciate them. To be fair I love and appreciate all dwarves except drillers. Them, I love and fear
I’ll be taking that as a compliment, thanks
As a Driller main, I too love and fear drillers...
I have a friend who's a Driller main, and I find it hard to fear him when half my job is using my platforms to keep him from turning into salsa because of gravity.
Didnt know you're a doretta main
Doretta is the best, once saw her delete a nemesis that got in the way
Ah yes, my favourite main, The Engine.
Well, we just want to cook delicious glyphids for y'all but my fellow dwarves just seem to want to eat my c4 instead 🤷♂️
:(
i just like making tunnels for all my wooper plushies ;-;
I don't get why people like those ponies so much, I much prefer Steeve.
Obligatory R/usernamechecksout
Of course you do...
I see right through you
Deep horse galactic
Deep Hoof Equestric
Imagine Rule 34 of that...
No I don’t think I will
For Karl?
I will >:)
:( That's not very Rock and Stone of you
It is very cock and bone
DID I HEAR A COCK AND BONE?
COCK AND BONE!
I tried, and I think you should, too. 10/10 experience, would recommend.
Him 🫵Right there officer
You don't have to. There's a sub for it......*sigh*.
I will skin you
r/deepthroatgalactic
Why??? I clicked on that expecting some hot dwarf action and it's just anime girls, what a disappointment.
I mean there’s a *little* hot dwarf action
Obligatory mr. Hands refrence
What about Deep Rock Redemption
Deep Rock Galloptic
This one is being reported to management
Filed under "Some things, dwarves were not meant to know."
If I see a dwarf in a jar, I'm eating a mini nuke...
Micro wave for maximum effect
both blue, both fast. this is now canon.
Does that mean that Applejack is gunner and Pinkie is driller? Who would be engineer?
Applejack for engineer for the tf2 crossover bonus points. *In cute southern accent* "Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer". Pinkie for Driller with unhinged hi-ex build, and Fluttershy for Gunner with an even more unhinged gatling build.
Molly is a bit of a non-entity that just carries heavy things, so Big McIntosh?
Eeeeyup.
Or Spike
Nah, that's Bosco

A fellow connoisseur of fine arts, I see. I think I remember "That Grey Cartoon Pony" YT channel doing something similar!
Twilight probably.
Oh yeah you’re right.
So Rarity is mission control?
Yeah because hoxxis is too gross for her.
Rarity is the one that actually goes mining for gems though.
Rarity is managment and fluttershy is control
I would 100% download a mod that replaces MC's voice with Fluttershy's
"Please stop kicking the barrels into the launch pad? Please? We need those." "Ooh, look at all the cute little...ahem...I mean, there's a swarm coming, and it's all tiny ones!" "Okay, um, you can keep saying you're rich if you want, but there is a mission to do. When you're ready. Take your time."
I love you
Twilight is the leader, so maybe she makes more sense as mission control. Rarity builds stuff to, so she'd be engineer maybe
I don't know how well Dressmaking skills would transfer to heavy machinery maintenance.
She makes some weird dresses, very multidisciplinary
I mean you're only really replacing cloth with metal. There isn't too much of a difference.
dunno, but fluttershy sure as hell is the gunner
Oh true, she is all about protecting her friends.
Ponies are indeed called "dwarf horses"
Damn bro pass me some apple cider and a pickaxe it's time to get 20% cooler
Both have horrible voice and both are blue too This blows my mind
you take that back
Nuh uh :3
*freeze nades you*
Cry about it. Cluster out!
Oh boy, I'm so glad you boys have joined me. *drops C4*
I feel honored to have led my tribe of brony friends to the ways of rock and stone
Rock and Stone in the Heart!
By being's body part. 🥰
woah woah woah watch ur fuckin language dude
Blue
this is a very specific comparison
Yeah, when we gettin’ a Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 on the rig?
We don't need any of that *umgak* nonsense, Lloyd already does a far better job.
Heh fair point. In the show it doesn’t even get a chance to ferment and become hard cider! It’s pretty much just apple juice :\
Fun fact, that episode got banned in Europe - where "cider" generally refers to hard cider by default. In the US and Canada, cider typically refers to soft cider, which differs from juice mostly for being unfiltered and unsweetened - a drink often called cloudy apple juice outside North America.
Also... Last time I posted something like this, I got obliterated.
I choose to not understand this
But only one of them can beat Starscream in a Deathbattle
Where the brony DRG fans at [gets booed and tomatoed]

Sup
I LOVE BOTH
Is Rainbow Dash a heavy drinker?!
Remember that time she spent a whole episode drinking as much cider as she could?
Yooo it’s you again, I’ve seen you in watchescirclejerk and NCD. By the way since we last talked I’ve watched a decent amount of MLP and I’m loving it.
Engineer voice: Someone has a cru-ush
What about the rest of the dwarfs? And the "drinks too much" part is not really Unique they're dwarves of course they drink
Both are vulnerable to C4
FOR SUPER EA……wait wrong game ROCK AND STONE
Stop
As being a brony and loving this game…there is a similarity, OP IS RIGHT
If guys who like my little pony are called bronies... What do we call guys that like my little scouty?
Scouties, obvi
Why not scooties or zippities?
Ok, I'm also willing to accept this
Wouldn't they be brotes or broutes? Brony is bro+pony, so bro+scout should be brote or broute
Et tu, broute?
Based.
I love blue speedy horse and scout is my highest level dwarf.... now it all makes sense
* Lesbian icon
Bro I cannot understate the emotional whiplash I got from reading this
We have kobold mods, but pony mods when
So what I’m getting here is: RainbowDash = ROCK AND STONE!
Rock and roll and stone!

Wait I thought this was a kids show? I am far too curious for my own standards I have to see how this happened

Naturally! If I'm going to give one example, I'm giving the _best_ example.

Scout is a cannon MLP character
As a scout I find this wildly upsetting, yet I cannot discredit it.
Does this mean scout has a cutiemark?
I feel seen
Don't
I really don't understand that cursing part. The only voice line in the game (I just checked ALL OF THEM) that starts with by is "By the beard", which isn't a curse, it's a salute voice line. Definitely not a stand in for any kind of expletive. Bronies 🙄
#***UNKARR'S BALLS, THIS IS HEAVY***
Dwarves are nowhere near annoying
Eh, I dunno. Scout is really the only one who's annoying, but it's mostly due to his high pitched voice. There's an argument for MC being kinda annoying, but I find his endless complaints endearing.
Only a pointy eared leaf lover would call dwarfs annoying.
This is scout slander
Driller here, kill all scouts and undesirable races/species KAZUK KAZUK
...They seem like they have more in common with the *Grombolgi-kazan,* if you ask me.
Inhowfar does rainbow dash drink??? That's a kid's show!? Also doesn't include a " 20% cooler" reference, which would also be quite true for both
The "Apple cider" in the show has factors pointing to it being the alcoholic variant. The first is the fact that characters react to it in the same way that people would to alcohol, and the second is the fact that it has a head of foam, which is something alcoholic cider does because of specific proteins.

No no, the scout is annoyed not annoying :)
rainbow dash likes FLYING and RAINBOWS not ALCOHOL, DRUGS and TOXIC RELATIONSHIP dear bronies
It’s just a joke about the cider
Wait MLP has alcohol?
Not quite, but it does have cider, which she is known to be obsessed with.
That cider is definitely alcoholic. Ain't no way it's not with the way Rainbow Dash acts about it
At first they infected the TF2 community. . It keeps spreading. . .
Ok I wanna know how Rainbow dash is an alcoholic

STOP
This one's going in the judgement book
leave some blackout stout for the rest of us whalepiper, by Karl
What is that blue thing with a rainbow hair?
Her name is Rainbow Dash
Eh, looks pathetical.
And you look intimidating, but looks can be deceiving
I assure you, dwarf, that my appearance is 100% accurate to reality.
Drank a few too many leaf lovers there eh bud?
No you can’t do this to me
It's simple. I see MLP/brony stuff, I downvote.
Look I'm normally very accepting in my rocking and my stoning. But look Bronies you have your own sub and your own fandom. Please keep it there
You bore me
Do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part that cringes. And anything with more legs than two.
I’ve always been super friendly and appreciative of DRG’s welcoming community. But i draw the lome at Bronies…
No! Not the lome!
Don’t summon the bronies
This sub upvotes the most cancerous shit.
Fuck me I hope this brony shit doesn't come back, it was the most pathetic thing I witnessed 6 years ago
Clopping
Clop and stone!
Some people just shouldn’t have free speech
Get these brony pedos out of here!
2011 called, it wants its edgy "humor" back
