Something that's been bothering me...

Gosh you should! Tell us when you do, I wanna read it!

Oh I was never saying that they made it out of animal hide, simply that they did in fact call it parchment in the series. As it was established above in other posts that there are type of parchment that can be made out of plant-based materials.

 

Oh, okay. I honestly didn't remember Twilight checking off parchment on her To-Do list in "Lesson Zero" even though I love that episode.

Speaking of which, I wonder if they use glue. Glue is made from horses.

 

 

 

In Equestria, glue is made from humans...

And that is why they tell you not to write human in Equestria fics.

Glue used to be made from horse's connective tissues and such, but I hear companies use petrochemicals instead. But really, who knows, maybe in Equestria they do...

Wait. If the scrolls are plant based alt...

 

THEY KILLED FLUTTERSHY!

Are we forgetting the woody sources of many glues and virtually all modern paper materials?

I addressed that in a fic I wrote, where the mane six pass by a large grinding machine, but it turns out its a wood chipper for making resin from sap.

I am so glad I am reading this, because I'm afraid I'm turning into a pony...

[sirseansy 87]

considering that most of the "parchment" that they print souvenir documents on is priced the way it is...yeah, they're probably using plant based stuff. If it were REAL animal hide parchment, it would not only be cruel and unusual, but also friggin expensive.

This entire conversation has mentaly scared me. good job.
