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!

Must be some really tiny sheep if you can fit it inside a pen.

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

They're black sheep too, so you can write real pretty.

I always figured the other animals weren't as advanced as ponies and some of them were being domesticated/uplifted.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!

Greetings everyone. Been a while since I've used that one.

Why do the sheep live in pens?

Because they ran out of pencils.

Ah yes, the question of what non-ponies' role in society is. The sheep don't really seem to care much, aside from the politeness thing, and I'm not sure if we've had confirmation of the pigs even being sentient.

[up]Pigs are not sapient because they are not kosher.

I think the old bit of Faust still applies here, anything with hooves is a sure-fire sapient, anything else is questionable unless we have evidence otherwise.

[up][up][up]I don't know if that holds. I don't think ponies are considered kosher and they can speak and apparently goats are considered kosher and... I don't remember whether they could speak, but just not pony language or just couldn't speak.

Maybe pigs are sapient, but they're just slobs.

As I recall Faust said on DA that ponies employ pigs to hunt truffles. It is now my headcanon that the "ham" we occasionally see in sandwiches are just really thinly sliced truffles. Dyed pink fir whatever reason.

Given that pigs don't have hooves (they have trotters) I'd say Faust's rule applies here. The pigs aren't sapient.

We've seen cows and donkeys interact with the ponies in Ponyville but not the sheep so.....

I suppose now we have to discuss what stands the ponies would have?

I would, but I'm only in Part II, so I don't know much about Stands yet.
