Some possible headcanons: Crystal Ponies have physical states that are governed by their emotional states. Their natural states are as liquid in the ground. They can emerge and form solid bodies dependent on these emotional states. When they are happy their bodies are soft. When they are aroused they melt back into the ground. When they are frightened they become brittle and tend to shatter. When they are mad they become hard like diamonds. and when they are sad they become light and ephemeral to the point that when they are despondent they fade away.

>>13110 >When they are aroused they melt back into the ground. Wouldn't that kind of get in the way of things? Or do they do their business underground?

>>13111 Well ok, you're correct of course. I've wondered about this myself. But this can be the 'TV - 7' version. Yeah, they melt back into the ground to conduct their business. For the TV version: When they fall in love their bodies give off a rosy glow. When they are sad they give off a dark blue glow. When they are despondent they turn black.

>>13110 >When they are aroused they melt back into the ground. See, I thought it would differ by gender. Females become soft (yet supple and durable), while males become hard as diamonds.

>>13119 Or maybe they're just like a mood ring instead?

>>5766 Maybe that wasn't her original plan. But when the Fausticorn was created Lauren's original intentions were hi-jacked and her intentions twisted to serve pony needs by her OC doppleganger.

>>7066 >Fausticorn is the physical manifestation of Faust's original hopes and dreams for the show

The best thing about the show is how genuine and pro-social it is while being respectful to the audience. The characters are very likeable and easy to feel empathy for and the humor is fast paced and in character. People disillusioned with the social interaction in their lives find it refreshing because it provides something they were not getting.

>>5766 Highly based.

>>11795 >>11796 Guess it'll be my job to reupload them then. https://ponepaste.org/7767 https://ponepaste.org/7768 https://ponepaste.org/7769 https://ponepaste.org/7770 >>11792 Been away for a while doing shit, will update soon. Well, if this is about that in the first place.

>>11801 Thanks a lot anon!

>>11793 I made some updates to this one recently. Filled in some gaps in the story and posted the entire thing in ponepaste (previously, I only had part of the story posted). Hope you enjoy.

>>13026 Thank you, writefren! I loved the thread and the green very much.

>>13028 No problem! I enjoyed writing that one. It was a challenge to keep the thread going with the story and I was writing frantically everyday. I didn't really have a plan, I just wrote whatever came into my head. I'd like to do one with the original Star Trek series characters, but I have a couple of comfy projects I want to do first (trying to move away from doing lewd stories for the moment).

>>12944 I imagine it would look something like the US cheese vaults: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miFTqY9Y5rU

>>12984 Yes, I would envision something like that just on a grander scale. Even the US government should not be permitted to surpass the muffin vault in size, quantity, or sophistication.

>>12989 >sophistication If she has four silos, then she can have four kinds of muffin. What kinds of muffins are her favorites? >>12981 Modeling a muffin as a cube would account for air space gaps between muffins, and petrified muffins do not deform, so assuming the muffin size is correct the estimate is valid with I'd say an error range of 10 million muffins to be safe. (although it is noteworthy that muffins could be made in different sizes for different purposes, most likely sorted by silo) She is the Empress of Muffins indeed! >She is supremely magnanimous after all. Of course! Whenever there is a natural or un-natural disaster and ponies are hungry, she has the muffin reserves ready to be distributed to those in need. Her pragmatism is an inspiration to us all.

But why does she like the muffins?

>>13039 Probably because muffins are just about the pinnacle of baked goods. They can be made in a multitude of delicious flavors (blueberry, banana, cranberry, corn, etc.), they are highly transportable, long lasting, are packable and stackable, make great impromptu gifts, and bring warmth and gladness to the heart. In Equestria, they could also be infused with all manner of magical and healing properties. No other baked good can approach their simultaneous delightfulness and utility. Perhaps a better question would be why wouldn't Derpy like muffins. >>12991 >it is noteworthy that muffins could be made in different sizes for different purposes, most likely sorted by silo) Would Muffin Empress Derpy use different silos for different flavors of muffins as well, or would she uniformly distribute them as a 'not all eggs in one basket' strategy?

>>12982 Daisies, Honeysuckle, Anise, Licorice, Pine, and Dandelions, maybe? How often do ponies need to brush? I would think less often then humans since equine teeth continue to grow I think.

>>12992 Horse teeth don't continue to grow, horses just have very long teeth that slowly slide out of the gum over time. They are made to wear away because horses have to grind grass all day. When horses get old the teeth can completely wear away and then they can only eat mush (it makes snuzzles yucky). The reason humans have to brush is because we eat so much sugar and other processed carbohydrates which turn into sugar. Bacteria converts sugar into acid which dissolves teeth (not unlike the process where yeast make alcohol or rise bread). If we didn't eat processed food and lived shorter lives like our ancestors brushing would basically be unnecessary like it is for horses.

>>12995 Fascinating! I had always thought their teeth grow perpetually. Thanks for the correction biofag. Cheers!

>>12992 >How often do ponies need to brush? I would think less often then humans since equine teeth continue to grow I think. Would probably have to do with their diet. Sugarcube Corner is a thing so probably about as often as people do. Even if not strictly for health, I'd imagine it'd still be recommended to maintain fresh breath.

>>13011 >I had always thought their teeth grow perpetually Rodent teeth do >>13015 Yeah, that makes sense given the world they live in. Even stuff like bread is unnatural levels of carbohydrates for them. How many instances do we see them brushing in the show anyways?

>>6510 Linky's mane and tail are like majestic clouds.

>>12979 Based 10 months old post replier

>>13010 That is one happy mare.

>>12980 Pony content is eternal, even it is an infinite month old post.

>>1770 >try anal with someone else before any of that O-stuff. I would still fuck them in the pussy tho, use their blood for anal lube as god intended. Then make them suck me off after. Women are trash so its whatevs. Equines on the other hand ya gotta treat with alot of care and respect.

>>1781 >Women are trash so its whatevs. Equines on the other hand ya gotta treat with alot of care and respect. That's the only correct attitude.

>>1781 So why would you cover your dick in trash blood and then trash shit? That's disgusting

>>1884 >That's disgusting Or mby you are just sensitive? Sex is messy. Get over it.

>>1767 >Embarrassment is just your subconscious mind protecting you from social stigma. Based psychological realist.

>>11776 How's he a faggot if he has a hardon for Rarara?

>>11785 Because that's lampshading selfcest (Cathy Wiseluck voiced G3 Rarity).

>>11798 Yeah, the only thing that G3 Rarity had in common with G4 Rarity was the name and a passion for clothes and makeup, although how makeup works on horses I am not sure. I love Faust's explanation of the origin of G4 Rarity, but this is a Spike thread. G4 Spike is more or less a direct transplant from G1 Spike with little to no influence from G3 Spike.

I didn't like him because to me he came off as an emotional wimp/weakling, like a mama's boy. Everyone entitled to their opinion though.

>>11501 >best mage in Equestria In terms of sheer volume of magic, she's been bested.

>>11502 >donutsteel OC appears yeah, sure

>>11500 >>11501 That notion necessitates that you don't make a distinction between which IDW comics are canon and which are not canon. The joke that Sweetie Belle removed teeth is from the first comic arc and does not assassinate Twilight and is not season 10. Comics like the one about how Shining Armor and Princess Cadence met are very enjoyable and fit in well with the world so I consider them canon. Comics that reference late season stuff? Not canon. >>11503 based

>>11501 Then your "canon" stopped in Season 4 when Twilight's character arc was over and it was clear that she wasn't going anywhere else. Of course, that amounts to nothing but a statement regarding the percieved quality of the narrative. >>11505 Yeah, the Cook and Price comics were good. Even they couldn't patch over the Season 3 plot holes, though.

An episode with Good Twilight vs. Evil Twilight, like in the Samurai Jack episode in which he needs to fight the physical manifestation of his anger/frustration, would have been wonderful. Only, it should not just have fighting. It could include the two strategizing against each other, executing schemes to trap each other, etc. Oh well, I can let it exist in my imagination at least.

>>7273 "Holy crap, it's Princess Luna from My Little Pony!"

I love moon horse! I want to stay up late at night and do astronomy with her. I imagine she must have her own personal observatory staffed by astronomer ponies.

>>12955 I too love moonhorse. I think that she, as the mistress of the night sky, knows every star so she needs observatory not for herself but to teach willing ponies about the treasures of her night.

>>12965 I think both ideas are wonderful. 1. Luna has immense knowledge of the heavens and uses an observatory to teach ponys. 2. Luna is immensely curious about the heavens and builds an observatory to study it and commission research. Either way, I like the association of Luna not only with the moon, but with stars too. I imagine her offices in Canterlot full of star charts, and other astronomical instruments as well.
