Filly Funtasia has an official website,
fillyfuntasia.com. Up until very recently, the only content was an image advertising the show with not much information. Well, that has changed! There's still just an image there, but it is an image that appears to depict a mockup of what the future site will look like! As it's just an image, none of the buttons are clickable and some of the content appears to be placeholder material, but it still contains some neat stuff - including the synopses for the first four Filly Funtasia episodes! Check it out at
fillyfuntasia.com and read our analysis after the break!
We'll divide the image into a few different parts and analyze them separately. Let's start with the header!
 |
Fillys confirmed to speak American? |
The "Register" and "Login-in" (sic) links suggest that the website will have users, and the language selector that it will be available in multiple languages. "About Funtasia" and "TV Series" are two different links, so the first one will presumably have information about Funtasia besides it being a TV series. The Filly icon is likely to lead to
MyFilly. On to the most interesting revelations - the episode synopses.
 |
See? The cupcakes weren't stolen. |
The first episode is titled "Liar, Liar, Prance on Fire" - and the description matches the episode we saw in
Promo #1. The screenshot accompanying the description is from
Promo #2 and has been used in other advertising material. It's quite likely that the screenshots used to illustrate each episode has been taken from the trailers and that they do not necessarily represent the contents of the episode.
 |
Lynn and Rose dormmates CONFIRMED |
Case in point. The screenshot taken from Promo #1 and used to illustrate episode 2 is probably from episode 1. While we can't know for sure, it's possible we've already seen some footage from episode 2 in
Promo #3! The scenes of Lynn running through the dark forest and the emotional dark forest scene with Rose and Lynn certainly look like they could be from this episode based on its description.
It's possible!
 |
But what will it form? |
Now this one does sound familiar - it's similar to the "Zack episode" that's featured in multiple clips in Promo #3! The blue rainbow could be what is depicted on the blackboard in the classroom scene with Zack.
We have previously
speculated on the basis of the filenames of 3D prop designs that this episode will be episode 5. It's possible that the filenames were incorrect, or that this episode used to be episode 5 but has now been bumped up to episode 3 in a reordering.
 |
Captain! I see a ship on the horizon! |
Yeep. We've got a crush potion episode, as well as a confirmation that the Fillys have potion class at the academy. This episode might be a fun one. The screenshot accompanying the description is again from Promo #1, and appears to be from the scene where teachers discuss the (probably nonexistent) monster.
 |
Battiwigs: now with sparkles |
The story description here is outdated - it still calls Wranglum "The Wizard of the Dark Mirror". It's also the description that's been used on
the description page on BRB's website for a few years now.
 |
The same poses as in the header. |
Then, the page lists our characters! It uses "Willow" and "Isabella" rather than the shorter "Will" and "Bella" that we've also seen, and it further confirms Wranglum's name.
Lastly, we've got two locations listed - The Royal Magic Academy, which is the show's main setting, and "Outside the Academy", which appears to be all the stuff around it.
And that's pretty much it, at least until the website becomes interactable.

And about the love potion, they aren't taught in schools because they're not supposed to be used.

Episode 2: Probably going to be one of my favorites, or mildly disappointing. I'm hoping for the former option.
Episode 3: Already been discussed, but the description does add one thing that got me thinking - if there are several of these crystal things, maybe their streaks will accumulate a full rainbow by the end, (of the season?) one color at a time.
Episode 4: Eh, I'm not really feeling the premise, but it could be interesting if handled well. One thing I'm curious about is why Cedric ends up attracted to Rose; is it amplifying pre-existing feelings, is it due to the way the potion was made, or will it be a "first person he looked at after drinking" sort of thing? Either way, I've long since hopped aboard the RosaLynn shipping train, and I highly doubt this episode will be able to change my mind on that.
Anyway, it's just nice to see some confirmation that the show isn't vaporware after all. I can't wait until 2016, or whenever it comes out!

And while this'll be off-topic by quite a margin: Since you're from Brohoof's Filly thread (Verdana? The other guy I can't remember the name of?), and I'm fairly sure you're an admin there too, I assume you hold either the "brohoofminecraft" or "Lphemphill" accounts on Filly Wiki? Skundi is seriously contemplating a host move from Wikia to a private-hosted MediaWiki setup, with one of the ~5 reasons he's doing so being that you and the other Brohoof account technically never resigned as bureaucrats, and he's somehow been afraid that you would one day feel like messing up the now-500-page wiki just for fun.
There has built up a number of other reasons too, with Wikia's tendencies to do random design changes becoming the main reason, but, uh, it's more or less agreed upon to ask you two to resign from the bureaucrat-ships. You've long since handed the Wiki leadership to Skundi, and neither of you has made edits since May 2014-ish, so it hopefully shouldn't make any big difference. And while FuD is a poor place to discuss matters like this, I couldn't find any admin E-mail contact addresses on your Brohoof admin pages.
Here's hoping this'll all work out, whichever way it's done.

I'm glad to hear the wiki did well, good work on that.
I think I demoted myself, the permissions are a bit hard to use. After pressing submit, I could no longer view my own permissions, so that's a good sign. But if I look at the userlist it still shows my Brohoofminecraft account in the old groups, so I don't know. If you need me to do anything else, just tell me what to click on.
I'll ask Lphemphill to demote herself, I'm sure she won't mind.
@Exohasard · 523 weeks ago
As long as you're not a bureaucrat, I've thought of it as that that should be everything that has needed to be done, since bureaucrats cannot be demoted by anyone other than themselves. If you ever feel like doing contributions again, we could in theory be discussing a Wiki administrator status someday. :)
kilorat 42p · 523 weeks ago
Lphemphill demoted herself, so this matter is closed.

Bringing up the admin situation just got the conversation going again, I've expressed the same opinion previously before the admin thing was really an issue and I have the same opinion now that it's resolved. (I can't find the post now, but I'm pretty sure I've written about it on Ponychan quite a while back.)
Let me use a boolean pair to express why I didn't feel like contacting them about this (keeping in mind that the previous admins had been inactive since when the wiki was nearly contentless):
There are two variables here, "is good guy", and "is informed".
"Is Good Guy" and "Is Informed" -> What happened here. It worked out okay!
"Is Good Guy" and "Is Not Informed" -> Will probably keep on ignoring the wiki's existence
"Is Not Good Guy" and "Is Not Informed" -> Will probably keep on ignoring the wiki's existence
"Is Not Good Guy" and "Is Informed" -> Bad times ahead
I hope that explains my position.
