A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

     Original OP text 
I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Ooh! Reactions! Those are always fun!

Also, I see that I was missed.

  • Ahem*

Each of the races, including zebras, have their own equivalents to alicorns. However, appearance-wise, the only similarity is increased size. The zebras themselves have rainbow zebras as their royal family, which, in adition to being larger than their citizens are also multi-coloured. Zecora herself is not a princess, but she is considered a talented mage, which is highly respected in zebra culture. It is also typical for zebra mages to go on extended sabaticals to other countries to learn more magic which they can bring back to South Zebrica. Zecora is officially on one of them./fanfic talk

Earth pony powers are canon, but vague. Their increased strength and endurance is fanon, but their is lots of evidence for it in the show. That said, it's circumstantial. Also the description of earth pony magic in the EU can be interpretted to mean that they have Super-Strength, but it's a very ambiguos line.

My interest in earth pony magic is one of the reasons I starte writning fanfics about it.

I interpret crystal ponies as their own trbe, but that's unconfirmed. Bat ponies, which are unnamed, but apparently called thestrals in studio(I call them pyrippi) have only been seen once, but the creators of the show apparently like the idea o them being their own tribe. Seaponies and mermares are in the EU.

I have a historical alicorn OC who specialized in EP magic instead of the unicorn magic usually associated with them. He died centuries ago and the Everfree Forest is the result of his magic being unleashed and running rampant after his death. The Tree of Harmony grew out of a seed planted atop his grave.

I remember that. I call the princess from Hearts and Hooves Day "Princess Cornucopia" and headcanon that she specialised in earth pony magic too. Also, Princess Permafrost naturally specialised in pegasus magic.

Anyway, just spoke to my father. They're basically starting a small farm. Well, my dad is still working as a scientist and it makes sense that my step-mother would want to be a farmer as tht's how she was raised, but yeah. Odd to think of my father as a farmer.

My headcannon for the Princess from H&HD is that she became Chrysalis.

Also damn work, going to miss the ep... oh well it'll be up by the time I get home.

Wait, there was an alicorn statue or something in that episode?

The picture in the book about the love poison had a picture of an alicorn in it on the page telling the story about the kingdom that fell due to it being used. Not a full body one, but a head shot of a unicorn, with a set of wings just behind her head.

In book which tells the story about the Princess and Prince which got love poisoned, there is apicture of them. The princess is an alicorn.

I am aware of the fanon that she became Chrysalis, but I prefer to think of Chrysalis as her own thing. The alicorn equivalent of changelings.

I too prefer Chrissy as a queen of her own species which simply is and simply has to eat. It gives her a very simple and yet effective morality.

Though this does raise a question, can a changeling eat love from that love potion? Or do they get stomach infections from fake love?

It's probably empty calories or something.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Might be the equivalent of highly-processed junk food.

And yes, I see each species as having an equivalent to alicorns. Chrysalis is one for the changelings (a hive monarch). Draconequii are the alicorn-equivalent for serpents like Steven Magnet.

Then there's:

Rainbow zebras

diamond wolves

acromantula

maned gryphons

greater dragons

white elephants

great white buffalo

golden-hooved cattle

precious-coated sheep

three-humped camels

trinocerouses

trunked tapirs

dream bunyips

dons

glimmering springboks

flaming kudu

evergreen deer

leviathons

luvlions

leopard-coated giraffes

etc.

Anyone have a preferred stream? I think last time I used the Spike one, but it dropped out briefly.
