what is a background pony?

these are characters who, like the name implies, only appear in the background of an episode. they have very minor roles, with little to no speaking lines, and typically dont appear in more than one episode! for example, maud pie is not a background character, but lemon hearts is! if they have an episode focusing on them (like saffron masala) they are also not considered a background pony! heres the wiki link to the background characters category to give you a visual idea.

is this limited to g4?

not at all! any gen is allowed, including merch and toy only characters :)

can we request a main character alongside a background pony? short answer: yes, as long as they aren't the focus. long answer: please remember we are a background pony blog. if you request something like "can i have all of the mane 6 with ditzy doo?" we wont do it. there needs to be an equal amount or more background ponies in a request for us to even consider doing it! we are trying to celebrate some of the more unloved ponies out there with this blog :)

can we request certain mods?

in general, yes, but please remember mods are not obligated to fulfil your request, so requesting them wont mean for certain they will do it. some mods dont like being specifically requested too, so its better to just let any of us do it!

who are the mods?

here is some info about us!

hello, i have a question about submission rules!

what is the stance on ponies who are mains in one generation but background/toy exclusive in another generation?

for example, in both gen3 and gen4, pinkie pie is a main pony, so she can’t be requested. in gen4, fluttershy is a main, but in gen3, she’s toy exclusive. can gen3 fluttershy still be requested?

yes, a g3 fluttershy can be requested in this case! it works just like how you described lol- like even though minty in g3 is a main character, shes merch only + appears in a special in g4, so her g4 iteration can be requested!
