    We are not a death planet. The bushfires are over, mostly, for the next six months. And there aren't more than twenty or so spiders in my room.

    Earth itself is a death planet. Australia just has a higher concentration of death. That's why it was such a perfect prison, it even has death water.

    No, there was another video on pony sizes. Basically, they're all miniature pony size.

    Jesus wept. Now I just want to burn all the plant life in Australia. Thanks for that.

    Can you imagine Sinestro's response if he'd gone with the yellow ring?

    So, Sunset’s plan is to draw on ambient magical energies to fuel her ascension to alicornhood. I wonder if that’s related to how the Alicorn Amulet works?

    I’d assume Death Water is another name for panda urine, considering that eucalyptus oil is so toxic (can cause seizures).

    I think you mean koala urine. Pandas eat bamboo. ;)

    He also could be referring to irukandji jellyfish which are tiny, nearly invisible, and kill the people they sting simply through the sheer amount of pain they cause, to the riptides that regularly kill people too dumb to swim between the flags, or to the Prime Minister who mysteriously vanished after walking into the ocean.

    That's Racist!
    For your education:
    Earth pony kicks hundred ton rock in ballistic arc to make a point about the reality of myths about a literal magic shovel.

    Earth ponies canonically capable of breaking rocks with jaw strength alone.

    Earth pony punching rocks until they become much smaller rocks


    And I don't think you can just dismiss Florokinesis out of hand when there are many instances of still living trees being used as homes.
    Can't find any good examples from earth ponies right now, but if a hero tier like Mistmane can use combat Florokinesis, then I don't think it is unreasonable to expect common ponies to have some lesser variant.

    We know that Maud Pie eating crystals and punching boulders apart is not unique to her as well. In a canon alternate timeline where Pinkie Pie never left the Rock farm until her and Maud joined the army Pinkie can do that too if she has the right training.

    Man, that whole video with Mistmane seems kind of racist. Especially with giving the ponies in that country large pointy ears.

    Not sure if Earth ponies have florokinesis, but they seem to basically have druid/ monk powers - talk to animals, raise plants (probably feel them), do martial arts, do things with crafts, basically anything physical that requires strength. Of course all of the mane 6 have what amounts to Batman powers (top skill performance for their race)

    I could live with the idea of eight-legged ponies - Sleipnir? Though, as the pegasi could be using two of their limbs for wings, that might mean they're walking around on six...

    No.
    Yes. As I said a while ago, that was the initial plan but it just didn't seem to happen as I was writing them.
    In the episode where Twilight turns a frog into an orange-frog hybrid, Spike mentions how many spells she (student of Celestia and magic talent) knows in total. It's not a high number.

    Garth isn't a magical prodigy. He's a reasonably performing battlemage.

    They can't give out apotheosis. Cadence was an accident, and Twilight required very specific circumstances, luck, and Starswirl's records.

    The time travel spell Twilight used was a one-use spell they don't understand and can't modify. Starlight's version was a bit better, but she's the only one who knows it and required the friendship table.

    I get the horrible feeling that Sunset’s calculations are missing a couple of variables. Artificial additives ruin taste. Artificial alicornification? That could have more serious consequences.

    Alternate possibility: the three tribes are not the only ones who have left an imprint on the local magical field. Discord. The Changlings. Tirek. Grayven and his rings. Assorted random weirdness. Pinkie-specific weirdness.
    Just grabbing everything is unlikely to go well.

    Of course you realise that we now need cutie marks for his daughter, scythe-minion and bodyguard right?
    Possibly the succupires too, or at least Paul Lad.

    While Luna has a dark theme and occasional forays into Death Metal Pony territory she is ultimately a very pleasant and polite individual. Unlike Jade and Komand'r who are greedy, cruel and generally offensive. I approve of this ship.

    Exactly the same as the Renegade's, except that the axe blade has some decoration on the side.
    Scythe and a skull with a flower growing out of it.
    Boxing gloves.

    Just off the top of my head, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel would be alicorns, Zatara/Doctor Fate would be a unicorn (though I wouldn't be totally surprised by alicorn) with an ankh cutie mark, and the Hawks would be pegasi.

    And the Hawks/ especially if Thanagarian will be Griffons. On that note have to wonder what the G-gnomes will be. Changelings? (Since hive / group thought)

    Then you really should stop complaining until you have.

    I mean if you don't have any interest in reading it that's fine, but bitching about something you haven't bothered to read is kinda silly.

    Earth is a class 12 deathworld. It'd probably be class 13, maybe 14, if the researchers' probes had landed in Australia instead of Africa.

    There's a reason you're supposed to boil your water in survival situations.

    Speaking of Pinkie, isn't she an earth pony? And if so how can you call a casual reality warper "underperforming" in a magical sense? I mean, yeah, she uses her powers for the most ridiculous crap around, but a reality warper is still a reality warper.

    Pinkie's abilities are not intended to be Earth Pony magic by WoG and even in universe are clearly treated as weird by other characters. She can just do weird things because she is a cartoon, like Bugs Bunny.

    Discord was bored a thousand years ago and turned himself into a ponny got a progeny IE he pulled a Zeus. She is a distant relative that has a strong expression of the bloodline links to planar chaos hence why she can use chaos/toon magic to some degree and also why her personality is like it is.

    Nah. I haven't read a single Grayven arc yet, he's just not interesting. You add in ponies, and I honestly can't describe that level of dull.

    Besides, my comment originated via being legitimately surprised that we were still in pony world, and doing so in non-serious, joking action. So don't try to make it sound like I was bitching Zoat out or pulling a Vaermina.

    With the one you quoted being me confessing that I haven't read any of this to have caught Zoat's message that it'd be like a two month thing. I can also add to that, that I don't read each and every single post Zoat makes. Because a good chunk of them are nothing more than corrections that he is thanking folks for.

    But thanks for noticing.
