    How Many Toes Has a Pony?

    If you had never encountered and Equestria pony and weren't told that it was called a "pony" (which sort of loads the dice), what would you liken it to?

    Upon reflection, I realised I would describe them as alpacas.

    Do Songs Correlate With Bad Things?

    I'm probably late to the party noticing this, but it seems like most of the songs in the series are highlighting a lack of harmony and I think this tendency is especially strong with solo songs. It's just kind of sad.

    Words You Shouldn't Use for Female Anatomy

    These words are awful, and you shouldn't use them unironically. Or at all, really. May be updated periodically if I find another stupid noun that makes me visibly flinch.

    Humans and Their Circumstances

    I was going to be more indirect, but I just want to get this off my chest: I never want to read an HiE story featuring "nondescript brony in Equestria" or "'wannabe genre-savvy "non-brony" who nevertheless knows about the show' in Equestria". Ever. The entire class of HiE work where the human is aware of MLP as an animated production is basically a write-off, as far as I'm concerned.

    No Field Trip to Horseworld?

    It seems odd to me that I've never seen a single story where the Equestria Girls go through the looking glass. I've seen Sunset Shimmer do it. I've seen Adagio Dazzle do it. But those are returns; not someone new. I think there's a lot of potential (hijinks, adventure, comedy) in the concept but it simply hasn't been touched at all! Why? Could it be general disdain for EQG that's prevented

How Many Toes Has a Pony? · 12:38pm Aug 14th, 2016

If you had never encountered and Equestria pony and weren't told that it was called a "pony" (which sort of loads the dice), what would you liken it to?

Oh, to be sure, the head proportion is all wrong, and the eyes are... truly something else, but, to my eye, the general body structure is much more akin to the Camelids than the Equids. This doesn't account for the coat and mane, but neither does it account for the vibrant colours. (Ponies are poisonous; do not eat.)

As a bonus, this means sea ponies are more likely part Cetacean rather than part teleost.
