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.

My interest in earth pony magic is one of the reasons I starte writning fanfics about it.
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.
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.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play

Ooh! Reactions! Those are always fun!
Also, I see that I was missed.
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.

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.
