Ask the Mane Six

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Ask the Mane Six is an Ask a Pony Tumblr blog run by TV Tropes' very own Mousa The 14. It stars humanised versions of the 'mane' (main) cast of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, who answer the questions posted to them by followers and non-followers alike.

It has a very distinctive approach to its artwork, with the 'ponies' maintaining a very cartoonish style and demeanour somewhat similar to the show proper. The characters are often drawn in zany and energetic poses. The tumblr is also known for presenting the characters as a very varied group: Each pony has a unique body type, unlike the 'cut and paste' styles of some other humanised pony artworks.
