My Little Star Trek: The Next Generation is Magic

Description

I used the Pony Creator [ generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/… ] to ponify the "mane seven" of Star Trek: The Next Generation, based upon an AWESOME (beautiful, glorious, nearly perfect) piece of fanart in which "DisQord" is epically trolling them by setting them free to explore Equestria (starting in Ponyville....near Pinkie Pie.) When his Discord side is suspended within a piece of statuary and he can't be trolling and tormenting ponies, he's off trolling and tormenting Starfleet officers and their fellow unsuspecting humanoids!

I wish I knew the name of that picture's artist so that I could credit & thank him/her for the amazing image (& ask whether s/he minds that I made these based on those ideas!) I saved the original image, but it was uncredited when I found it shared on Facebook, and I haven't seen a source credited for it ANYwhere online. :[ Thank you, whomever you were, for the brilliantly inspiring and definitive image...!

But Trek & MLP are two things that are, naturally, just DYING to be 'crossovered'--and not only by fans...;-) IN FACT, since TNG, DS9, and Voyager all take place around the same time (TOS and Enterprise might be able to be integrated via some *time travel* or alternate/parallel universe device or something), AND because they're the three series featuring Q, an all-around MLP/Trek crossover would not only be completely awesome, but completely plausible.

I had a load of fun making these little ponies, and saved a lot of different versions in the process (trying on manes, tails, and accessories, and playing with colors.) Those pics, along with various comments I made regarding the creation of everything (which I think and hope are somewhat amusing), are right in this here slideshow: s104.photobucket.com/albums/m1…

Of course, Photobucket always arranges your pictures in reverse, but that apparently can't be helped.

Aaaand here they are actually wearing the collars and "big crown thingy": i104.photobucket.com/albums/m1…

****EDIT: Been thinking about what their "pony names" would be in Equestria. I mean, at first I figured that they'd just be called by their surnames--except for Geordi, because I think "Geordi" seems more appropriate here than "La Forge." And that would work just great. Still, I thought it would be fun to try to come up with pony "code names" for them...and here's what I have so far:

~Picard: Earl Grey (or Cue Ball, possibly, lol...but not Chrome Dome! Or Cap'n Crunchy... :P The name 'Q-Ball' would imply his being a toy for DisQord's amusement, which is funny, but I quite like Earl Grey! It feels proper. Maybe DisQord calls him Q-Ball/Cue Ball.)
~Troi: Chocolate Sundae ^w^ (Or Hot Fudge Sundae? xDD)
~Data: Electric Beep (or Electric Bleep...a play on the title "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," which is the novella upon which the film "Blade Runner" was based. He was a toughie. Database and Data Crunch[er/es] also came to mind, though I was intending to either incorporate all of their actual names, or not do so at all.)
~Worf: Static Kling XD
~Crusher: Gingersnap (Also thought of Blue Crush, Gingerspice, or Ginger Crush, Orange Crush, etc...even just Crush[er] because that's a good pony name anyway...but again, I was either gonna use all the real names, or none. I really like Gingersnap, though. It sounds so spunky, and it's fun to pronounce with hard Gs. :D)
~Riker: Ace of Hearts (or Wild Ace...Wild Card...Five-Card Stud...muahaha. Five PIcard Stud/Wild PIcard, lmao.)
~Geordi: Blind Bet (In keeping with the Poker-inspired names. At first I thought that was awful, but then I'm like, "It's actually positive...and it sounds good! It's a Poker term, and though he may be blind without his VISOR, he's kinda like Bat from Ginga--his senses are finely tuned, & you can always bet on him!")

Heck, if they help deal with DisQord again or something, then our very own Princesses Celestia and Luna might see fit to hold an official ceremony & dub them with their honorary Equestrian names, as well as confer upon them the Elements of Intergalactic/Universal Harmony.

Right!?! I *wish* there was a whole comic book story around that original image.
