@LCpony417 @Fhaolan Looking at this, is something I never considered. It seems like the Sun and the Moon here are not real celestial bodies as we know them, but rather artificial constructs of mana-magical energy. I would argue that the ponies themselves, along with other life on Equestria is not native and that long ago, they arrived on the planet that drifts alone in space without any star to orbit, or any natural satellites. There are a ton of inconsistencies with the writing, but I prefer the idea that the system here is geocentric and that the Sun and Moon are not like ours, and are in fact, artificial, likely created by the first alicorns that arrived. It appears to me like the ponies themselves, are also likely altered form what their original forms were, prior to arrival on this world. This would also solve why we do not know much before a few thousand years - because there is no history of the world, before the ponies and others arrived from some other world. It appears that this fact is lost to time (probably due to inconsistent writing). ------------------- In a fanfic story I am reading, there was an interesting situation of how the world came to be. Part of this is just my interpretation of this story. So basically, the world is neither round nor flat. It's an...Arc, and the whole entire world itself was built as a machine by the collaboration of ancient ponies and several other species, the world was once a part of this massive cylindrical construct in space, millions of miles in size, hundreds of thousands of miles across called Urohringr. It contained other smaller cylinders inside of it, each having livable land, oceans, cities, etc on both sides of the surfaces, and it completely and utterly dwarfs our world in size. Dozens of thousands of years ago, a horrific event called the Sundering occured, and a 'shard' broke off the greater whole. It tumbled into space, surrounded by chaotic energies. The Sundered Plain wandered the stars for centuries, if not millenia. The alicorns came from the edge of the Universe, and saw the suffering and dying ponies and used genetic modification to create the three species as we know them today. Originally the ponies were just one species, with double hearts, enlarged ribcages, prehensile tails, and 6 legs. The extra pair of legs, contained an enlarged pair of wings that was much larger than Pegasi, for these ponies were able to fly without magic, unlike modern pegasi. Their hooves would be at the very end of these wings, and when they'd walk, their wings would fold like an aeroplane wing and rest at their side, and the shapes of their heads were also slightly different. The world, at least the side that Equestria is on, gives the impression of a Convex planet due to the curvature of the horizon (boats sink bottom first and all), and the Alicorns chose that side to illuminate with the Sun and Moon to mimic the natural conditions of a spherical planet, but on the 'dark' side where there is no sun and moon, one can see the horizon curving upward. Also by the way when it comes to this, the Sun and Moon themselves are accompanied by a third force, a 'harmonic blanket' which blankets the world in harmonic energy, and as one reaches the edge, this ends, and one can see the universe and stars completely unimpeded.

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here!

I really liked this episode. Honestly was a bit emotional for me to watch, not gonna lie. Definitely seems to be some sort of prophecy here, maybe Argyle knew more than he was letting on, maybe he somehow saw the future through some sort of...looking glass?

This song defines late 2021 for me, particularly the fall.

Welcome to the forums! Hope all is well with you.

One day it may get so good to the point where it replaces actual artists.

@Vinyl Scratch. Try this one.
