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.

Anything in the 32-70(0-20 C) range suits me fine, honestly. A wide range, I realize... I like a bit of chill, but a nice warm sun is nice now and again too.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Poor Danny. 36 episodes in, they just beat Lt. Surge, and he just found out there are 10 more bosses to go. XD
And he still doesn't even know about all the Team Rocket shenanigans on the side, or the Sevii Islands detour (though I'm not sure Arin knows that's coming, either).
The entire playthrough has been a serious mindfuck for Dan.
It's kinda weird seeing someone who has no idea what's going on playing Pokemon for the first time; it really makes you appreciate how fucking surreal those games are if you didn't grow up with them.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Is the difference even relevant to them?
Like, do they even have Ravens? Crows are much more common, after all.
Ad the morphology of most corvids is pretty vague, isn't it? Like, one is just slightly bigger?

I'm not sure if it's one or both that they don't have, but yeah, that's the reason. Ravens are actually a lot bigger than crows though.
Edit: Huh, you learn something new every day. The Common Raven is actually a type of crow.
Double Edit: Or actually, all ravens are a subtype of the general crow (corvus) genus.

@CDRW: Also covered under Corvus is Rook and I think Magpies?
And european Magpies are one of the half-dozen species of animals in the entire world to regularly pass the mirror test, which tests self-awareness - which even humans odn't pass until they're a few years old.
Crows have demonstrated long-term, and even inter-generational memory, teaching their children to avoid certain areas or people that were dangerous, as well as developing tools, holding grudges and so on. They're fantastically smart creatures, as a genus.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.^^^ Oh yeah, totally. A study at my alma mater a few years back even showed that crows can recognize individual human faces, even after not seeing them for several years, and remember if they were friendly or hostile.
And when I was going to school there, I learned something about them, myself. One day I was eating my lunch outside. It was a day in fall and a little chilly, so I was the only one eating out there, and I quickly amassed an audience of five birds; two seagulls and three crows. The whole time I was eating, the gulls kept looking at each other and squawking (Mine. Mine. Mine? Mine.), while the crows all remained totally silent and kept their attention locked directly on my sandwich. They reminded me of my dogs.

That's a little on the chilly side for me. I like it more in the 60-70 range.
