Ponyville is a nice, cozy town filled with friendly ponies who, for the most part, are interested in pursuing their dreams and in keeping a semblance of normalcy. Being the home of all the Elements of Harmony (one of them a Princess) alongside the world-famous Cutie Mark Crusaders—not to mention the ponies who've made a more peaceful peace with the Dragon Lands, Yayakistan, and the Changeling Kingdom—this quaint village just wants to live a regular (enough) life.

Which is impossible when the spirit of and embodiment of chaos himself, Discord, goes to Ponyville almost every day to the point that he's a de facto citizen of the town. In his wake are chaos, confusion, and, well, discord.

Yet, the ponies try to cope.
