My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Live Reactions & Discussion)

Go To

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!

Yeah, I think incorporating her into the show would be a bit much.

I wonder if EQG Megan would be a pony. Like, I dunno, the school pet at Canterlot High or something.

On a different note, the thing about alicorn magic makes me think that alicorns are a distinct race rather than a simple amalgam of the three pony races.

I think so as well. They have some magic from the other 3, but combined gives it a unique quality. What that is, we'll likely not know, but presumably what gives them long lives and to gain abilities based on their most prominent virtue.

It's why I think Celestia and Luna aren't stupidly powerful, raising the sun and moon is just something tired to their nature or is simply something easier for an alicorn.

I hope they don't have any humans.

[up]Well, it's said that they have attributes of all three pony races; there's probably something unique to alicorn magic that allows them to use all three.

Where did that 'all three' thing pop up anyway? I don't remember.

Alicorns have access to magic of unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies. But not sea ponies, bat ponies or zebras.

That and the trading cards indicate them as being all three.

Earth. Air. Magic.

Long ago, the three nations lived together in harmony. But everything changed when the seaponies attacked.

Wouldn't zebras be earth ponies anyway?

I don't know. I'd chalk up some of Zecora's herbalism expertise to some sort on inherent zebra magic. Also, there was that time she made water appear out of nowhere.

They just kinda flop around if you get them out of their Water Tanks.

[up]I figured there was some slight of hoof to that, but that's one way to look at it.

Faust, and the first GM Barrow Novel confirmed it.

Also, all pony races share at least two magic powers. The power of song and dance.

Ah, but there's a special sort of power inherent to bad dancing, you know.

Twilight... song, not so much the dance.

She can mariachi, though. Or is it flamenco? I forget which.
