    But you make it (the second sentence about not having enough human contact) sound sad. Is it supposed to be or not?

    Celestia and Luna's parents? You mean our Hoovenly Father and Mother Earth Gaia? I'm surprised this type of thread just casually appeared today.

    You would've been better off reading what is absolutely my favorite book series ever, (Gregor the Overlander:) The Underland Chronicles, which was Suzanne Collins' first book series and is way more unique in many ways. For one thing, it is not a teen book, it is about an eleven-to-twelve year old, weirdly named Gregor kid who just sort of stumbles into a secret Underland with normal-sized pale humans and giant talking rats, bats, cockroaches, spiders, and other creatures. His two-year old sister tags along on increasingly deadly and dangerous Homer's Odyssey-style adventures, and they both almost die several times, and instead of it being something like, "They are orphans" or "their parents, don't know, they are always back before dinner, or they only have their adventures during the weekend, or during break from school", Their whole immediate family ends up knowing and it basically turns their whole lives upside down. The humans are very regal, and ride the bats like horses. The writing, especially for the first book, may seem childish, and kind of starts off with a rushed excuse of an exposition, but the storylines are simple but powerful. And it a great addition to the talking-animal, also with humans genre. It consists of only five books, and the series ended five years ago, probably with barely any chance of Suzanne Collins ever writing stories about that world again. But it is stellar, and emotional, and adequate on comic relief.

    Pfft, Equestria aint a utopia. There's many different types of dangers, and many people are almost just as flawed as humans, if not about the same. Let's not forget that the Mane 6 are clearly more good than average ponies to some degree.

    Well, if I also had the option of being transformed into a pony, well, I couldn't decide what color coat or mane I would want to have. If l lived in Equestria, I wouldn't live anywhere like Ponyville, but I would probably disguise myself into some humanoid-ish creature like a lizardy-diamond-doggie thingy, or just be one of those thingies, some type of creature that ponies wouldn't be afraid of. I wouldn't just want to suddenly show up there as a human, a type of very unusual creature they've never seen before, but I'm also not the type of fan who ever has any intention of drawing fanart of a pony version of myself, and ponies are ponies, not human(oid)s, so vice-versa with that type of fanart.

    Does your brohoof include the part about them having more joints than real-life ponies, horse, and four-legged creatures? I think that is also important.

    So basically, when the unicorns were making the sun and moon rise, that left them much less time to study other forms of magic? And the pegasi didn't really realize they could control the weather, only that they could fly and live on top of clouds? So before the founding of Equestria, pony life was rather inefficient? And nowadays, leaving most weather responsibilities to the unicorns leaves them more time for other forms of magic to benefit society? I only saw "Hearth's Warming Eve" one time. Well, why do Canterlot unicorns still clear the skies if pegasi can do it better? Is it just because unicorns are a majority in Canterlot, so they feel more responsible for doing it? Also, I've been noticing that this tread is turning into a discussion about unicorns, and then about pegasi, and not solely about earth ponies. Oh well.

    I forgot to mention that I correctly guessed that the image file title revealed that this is from an artist on deviantart, and commented there straightaway.

    You must be talking about Pumpkin Cake? I think that is just a weird, essentially temporary baby thing, like weird developmental baby-magic, like little kids in Harry Potter, or Jack-Jack in The Incredibles. Even if adult unicorns technically do have the ability to levitate anything they can lift off the ground, including themselves, can they move things much heavier than themselves anyway?
  10. GuillermoGage
    Are you sure a unicorn's magic/telekinesis would be powerful enough to move clouds especially if they were far away from them. Pegasi can get to them easier because they can fly. Then again, I'm not really sure how powerful or versatile unicorn magic can be outside of basic telekinesis.

    The show does a fairly decent job of not making the ponies too human-like, as in, they don't seem to be able to ever strut around upright or or use objects that would actually require multiple long fingers and opposable thumbs. While unicorns can levitate just about anything that they could physically carry, I think that, since the other species have at least quasi-magical powers with the weather and the earth's crops, that they can make light objects move or hover slightly when they put it up to their hooves, like a sort of magneticy-suctiony feel. That's how they are able to turn pages in books, and hold other objects. Also, the "knee" joints in their hooves can bend forward and backward; I've seen Rainbow Dash do it before., and they seem to be able to bend the ends of their front hooves a bit, like wrists. This is basically a purely musculoskeletal, biological feature, however these extra joints do not prevent them from functioning as equestrian creatures, they can still gallop at full stride, and if they need to, they can "stiffen" joints so they wont bend in a direction that is not needed at the moment. I think of when Rainbow Dash does stretches, and her front legs at least go backward, like a goose, and of all the times she's been knocked back, sliding onto the ground, and her "front knees" have never buckled back in that direction, toward her body.

    Does growing food literally require some sort of magic? If so, is it in the planting process? can only they handle seeds? Or is it just because they are physically stronger and more suitable for farm labor? Can a unicorn or pegasi still technically plant a crop or garden seed in the ground and would it still grow if it had sunshine, water and good soil? Fluttershy has some sort of garden in her home, right? You know, the pegasi still kind of help grow the food by controlling the weather. I just think it would be lame if the reason was just "pegasi and unicorns are just too busy using their own abilities, and "regular ponies" without horns or wings needed a special purpose in society, so they just got called "earth ponies".

    That also sounds good, but too bad that it was a word literally coined from the Harry Potter series, and there is no indication from my Internet search that the word "thestral" ever meant anything in English before then, certainly not about creature folklore. They are not really creepy or lanky enough to be Jersey Devils. And the word "malumai" translates to "party" in Hawaiian. It is a type of tiki torch.

    A lot of not-explicitly-adult cartoons with adult fans have that same type of gross-out or dark, macabre humor that is really meant to appeal to kids. Such as Invader Zim, post-movie (at least post-movie) SpongeBob SquarePants, and many other Nicktoons. WHat I liek about MLP:FiM is that it really isn't very edgy in any way, (most episodes are the common kiddie morals formula) yet the show is still very entertaining.

    Greetings, everypony, I am a white American male born December 1990. I got into the series sometime in December 2011, when I discovered that my big sister had The Hub. I heard about it maybe sometime earlier in 2011, I watched four illegitimately uploaded episodes on YouTube, including the pilot, after hearing it from a colt cousin born a week before me. I remember looking at some very plain-looking stick figure comic of the back of a guy's head facing a computer, saying "this is surpisingly well-written for a kid's show". Other than that I didn't and don't focus on the "meme" corners of the Internet concerning this show. I pretty much exclusively watch the show on TV, on The Hub on Demand, or DVR-ing it. I don't really talk about the show much at all with other people. But I will talk on these forums about all the series lore I can think of. I like it when shows and series have really deep lore. I especially like it when a series has deeper lore than it would seem to deserve to have. So that is why I am here.
