My Little Pony: Marriage is Magic!

Greetings folks. Name’s Julius. Julius the Cat. I doubt any of you had heard of me. Mickey’s too busy writing autographs and dealing with Disney’s marketing to pay attention to me, and I don’t think that Oswald will really claim me as his brother due to my being in an animated-live action hybrid series of cartoon shorts as opposed to his purely animated business. Yeah, I’m their older brother. Oldest Disney character out there. Well, unless you count Gertie, but let’s face it. She’s a dinosaur, and old Walt didn’t make her. She does own a nice ice cream stand in town, though.

History lesson aside, I suppose I should really talk about why I’m here. Well, I started up a small city for all of those Disney characters to live in, when they don’t have a movie to be starring in. It’s a nice town, where characters can be who they want to be without fret or fear. It’s just a humble little community with the businesses and the entertainment they can enjoy.

We recently installed the “Who Defeats Who?” Arena, or WDW Park, a few years back. It’s a place for some characters to fight to blow off some steam or prove who is the best in battle, especially as some of those “villains” claim they only took a dive in the fight because the script said so. I think it’s been healthy for some folks who just can’t contain their powers normally.

Unfortunately, I fear that there may be some individuals who aren’t entirely satisfied with our simple way of life. I don’t know anything for certain, but it’s not unusual for the occasional rumor of an underground coup somewhere in town to be arising. I’m sure it’s only rumors, though.



This is a site geared towards playing as Disney characters being who they are in a more casual environment of metropolitan organization. It’s a simple life, with a business district, a housing district, an entertainment district, and the WDW Park. Characters aren’t necessarily evil, though they might not always get along. However, it wouldn’t be weird if Jafar owned a pizza parlor or for Randall and Sully to have next door cubicles in an accounting firm. It’s just enjoying life, letting your characters interact and have fun with each other.

For those who like a little excitement in their lives, there is the WDW Park where any characters can face off. It could be interesting to see what happens when Disney hero faces Disney hero or even a character from the background tries to take on the villain.

However, no city is without its crime world, unfortunately. Some characters may not quite be as satisfied with simple life as others and may want to cause some trouble. Though petty crimes may arise from individuals, I would not be opposed to someone taking a role of a character planning to overthrow the whole town and make it their own. This is just a potential tangent, however.



Don’t be rude. We want this to be an enjoyable site for all players.

Don’t cause drama. If you have any complaints against someone, try to keep it personal. There will be a complaint box, if you feel the need to bring up an issue you are having.

Do not criticize someone for their pairing, plot, or character choices. If you do not approve of them, you do not need to and may keep your opinion to yourself. It is their decision, not yours. Bashing or flaming them for it will not be tolerated.

Please, respect your admins and moderators. They sacrifice a lot in order to make these sites and rules to provide a safe place to play. Rules are there for a reason.

This site is rated PG-13. Acknowledging everyday life, some swearing will be allowed, but do not go crazy with it. These are Disney characters, after all. Intense language such as the f-word, sexist slurs, and racial slurs will not be tolerated.

Being PG-13, violence will be allowed, though generally only in the WDW Park and crime scenes. Blood may be drawn, and the occasional bone broken, but this is Disney again. Even if a character does die in this story, we don’t need graphic details about how their entrails are strung up or anything like that.

Finally for the PG-13 rules, affection is fine. Kisses and hugs are great, but we do not need anything graphically sexual or amorous on this site. We do not need bedroom scenes. That stuff may be implied at most, but it should never be part of a post. Also, such amorous relationships should be kept in marriage.

There is no limit on characters, so long as you can play all of them. There will be a monthly check-up thread to make sure players are playing as their characters regularly.

Do not play as a character until they have been approved. Do not bug admins about approval. It will usually be quick, anyways. Otherwise, the admin is not online or your application is being considered at that time. Please, be patient.

Play each character with a separate account in order to avoid confusion.

Please keep posts at a minimum of three sentences each. Other players will need some details to play off of usually.

Speaking of which, if a post seems to not make sense with the general plot of a thread, you might be requested to change to post by your fellow play or admin to something a little more workable for the sake of the story. The same may be applied if not enough information is given in a post for the other characters to react to.

Please, use English, so we can all understand you. No offense to those who know English as a second language.

Please, use proper grammar. I won’t watch for every missed comma, but spellcheck never kills, and proper punctuation and capital letter use are always important. Apologies to those with difficulty with English, again, but punctuation is always important.

Please date each thread. This will allow players to keep track of where their characters are on each day.

Have fun.



Any Disney animated character is allowed. This means any character in 2-D animation, 3-D CG rendering, or claymation. This means that Snow White, Bob Parr, and Jack Skellington are all legitimate characters. Puppets are not allowed, however, so no “Muppets” or “Bear in the Big Blue House” characters. Disney Playhouse characters and Disney television series characters (sans Marvel and Star Wars) are allowed, too.

Characters who “died” in their films/series are playable.

The character limit is unlimited per player, so long as each character is regularly played.

Two versions of a character may be played as different characters (ie. Young Tod and Adult Tod from “Fox and the Hound” or “Toy Story” Buzz Lightyear and “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command” Buzz Lightyear).

These characters are in an alternate life to their movie roles. A character does not have to have the same personality as they do in the film (ie. Gaston could be a pacifist vegetarian while Genie is a jerk who gives people colds with his magic just because they annoyed him).

This also means that the characters have an alternate history of their typical lives. They don’t have to dress the same and they could have a completely different job. They still retain the name, however, and they can still dress the same. Their alternate history will have to be written up, however.

In this alternate life, even the families could be different. Family options will be seen in the application for your character. If you are unsure of your character’s family, you may fill the space with N/A or “unknown”. However, you may also play with the family. For example, if I were to play Captain Hook from “Peter Pan”, I could say he was the son of Archimedes Q. Porter and older brother of Jane Porter from “Tarzan”, married to Anastasia Tremaine from “Cinderella” and father of Taran from “The Black Cauldron” and Leo from “Little Einsteins” without including Leo’s canon-in-the-show sister Annie in the family.

Of course, if you plan to have your character related in any way to a character already existing in the city, you should look up their application to see who they have established as family members. If the chosen role is not filled, PM them about your inquiry of relations, but do not force them into it.

A character retains all or their abilities from their film (ie. Rapunzel’s strength for carrying all of that hair, should she choose to keep it, or Fairy Godmother’s magic). They may use this for everyday life, though it is strongly discouraged for being used to harm or afflict others outside of the WDW Park.

Background characters are allowed, though their applications may be treated with deeper scrutiny than others as it is attempting to almost create a new character. Do not get wild with it. For example, a male background character from “Beauty and the Beast” such as those dubbed Tom, Dick, and Stanley from the villager, will likely be implied to have some hunting skill but not be able to cook or sew worth a hill or beans as opposed to a female background character from the first “Mulan” series who will likely be able to cook and sew but unable to fire a gun with much precision (though male characters from Mulan are unlikely to handle a gun very well, either, knowing martial arts and swordplay instead). This does not mean that there are sexist boundaries, however. With their alternate background, martial arts and cooking classes are readily available for any character. What this is supposed to mean is that Hercules gets superstrength, but that doesn’t mean the imprisoned old man from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” gets to have superstrength just because the player feels like it. There needs to be logic in making the characters, and that is what will be observed.



A real controversial subject for sure, but we do want to be careful when it comes to these matters. They do tend to be ever so delicate. This is precisely the reason why these rules are in place, to hopefully avoid any controversy.

First off, heterosexual and homosexual pairings are allowed, per the player’s discretion.

Do not force a pairing onto another player. If you want two characters to be married before the events of gameplay, then you may claim so on your character application. However, you should not force a player to make a relationship which you have not already claimed if they are no comfortable with it. This is a form of bullying.

Now, here’s where we want to be imperatively honest. Animal/Human pairings are not allowed. If you feel such a strong need to have such a pairing, then some form of magic (usually readily accessible in our world) will have to be used in order to make the animal into a human or vice versa.

The subnote to the above rules would be characters who are considered anthropomorphic in nature. To be blunt, the anthropomorphic nature of an animal in order for them to be paired with a human would be if they are a) bipedal like a human, b) wear clothes like a human, c) are of unusual size for their natural animal, and d) can speak with humans. So, Scar may not marry a human for he is neither bipedal nor does he wear clothes. Bernard from “The Rescuers” and Basil from “The Great Mouse Detective” both wear clothes, walk on two feet, and can potentially talk to humans, but they are of mouse size, so they cannot be paired with humans. A character such as Prince John from “Robin Hood”, however, or Roger Rabbit (the textbook example of the requirements) may marry a human, if the player feels so inclined. The reason behind this justification is that the human-anthropomorphic animal pairings is that the physiology is near enough that the child should retain the humanoid structure instead of looking like a lycanthropic hybrid.

Canon pairings in the films and television programs do not have to be married or in a relationship on this site. They can be, but they don’t have to be. This means that Aladdin could be in a relationship with Sadira or Jasmine, etcetera, etcetera.

When it comes to children, they may only be conceived within a married relationship. However, children may be adopted by a single individual.

Child characters are not required to claim parents, though it will likely relieve some responsibility in their lives if they do.

New babies to a character pairing will be played by the parent character caring for them in that thread, unless the players of the parents agreed to adopt gameplay of the individual out to a third party character.

Pregnancy and growth rates for animated characters will be up for discussion and debate, once the issue arises.

Toys may only be paired with toys.

For further pairing questions, there will be a special thread in the questions section.



Now, the “Who Defeats Who” Coliseum is an arena for those who wish to fight to have a chance to fight each other in a controlled environment. We can’t just have people fighting on the streets, after all. Oh no. That could cause all sorts of trouble. However, an appointment will have to be made to set up the fight. There are also some rules in place, so things don’t get too out of hand, too.

First off, unless the underdog made the challenge, no humiliatingly one-sided battles allowed. For example, unless Eugene just completely lost his marbles and challenged the demigod, a Hercules vs Flynn Rider battle will not be allowed.

As long as it is not an overwhelmingly one-sided battle, any two characters may fight as this is not a “good vs evil” event.

Though meant to prove who would be the superior fighter, a kill switch has been installed to save a character from a fatal situation (ie, they are utterly unconscious and cannot avoid an incoming fireball which would incinerate their body). There is no kill like overkill, which means there should not be any killing at all. The loser will be removed from the arena through teleportation technology before they are killed.

The character with the greater loss record gets to choose the arena.

The audience may help a character by supplying an item. This should be restricted to a recovery or weapon-type item. Some may see it as cheating, but if the audience member can afford it, it is perfectly legal by all typical standards. An audience member may not join the fight themselves.

If a fighter leaves the arena, they have lost.

Team battles may be applied for, but no more than six characters in a single fight. Arenas aren’t that big, after all.



Now, we would like to open up our little town to more than just the Disney crew, but we need to make sure there is enough of a community for them to arrive to. Cities don’t just build themselves, after all. We’d need to be sure that we can make a fair ground pounded out, before we can expand for our non-Disney kin can move in. Have to remember our Disney roots, after all.

When we get 10 non-admin characters on the site, Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, and other, older animated classics like Felix the Cat and Woody the Woodpecker may move into town. This means ten character applications, filled out and approved, which were not taken in by me, before the new set of characters may move in.

When we get 20 non-admin characters on the site, it will be opened up to non-Disney feature film characters such as Anastasia, Emily the Corpse Bride, and Manny the Mammoth. They should be family-friendly animated films.

When we get 30 non-admin characters on the site, it will be opened up to non-Disney animated series’ characters such as the Kids Next Door, Jimmy Neutron, and the like. Those characters from such animations as Family Guy and South Park, may be treated with scrutiny against their more adult-oriented mannerisms.

When we get 50 non-admin characters on the site, it will be opened up to anime characters such as Naruto, Luffy, and Goku. Discretion will be used in allowing an anime character in (I am too sickened by that H-word to use it, but I think my point is made clear enough just saying that as to what sorts of anime will not be allowed).

These rules are just in place, so the town isn’t overrun by ponies or anime characters from the get-go before any Disney characters have really moved into town.

I realize people are going to ask about the 40 mark. I did consider making that the Marvel/DC/Star Wars-animated marker, but I’m not really sure about that. They don’t seem to be often approved for sites not generally commissioned specifically for them.
