This is actually one of my favourite details in the show. They made the ponies from the sub-continent have different ears than those of Equestrian stock. When I noticed this, it rekindled my love for the show and caused me to forgive a multitude of sins. Now, I've heard cries of racism about this episode, and I don't wish to sound harsh, but I'd like to backhand those idiots shouting and making much ado about nothing. You want to know what would have been racist? Making the ponies from India/Windia look exactly like the Equestrians and robbing them of their unique appearance and culture, you fucking halfwits.
So yes, Dim's distinctive ears come from his distant ancestry, which most certainly comes from these ponies. Thanks for reading, and I hoped you learned something! Now go out and reward yourself with curry, which is delicious and good for you.
OMIGosh, those real-life pony's ears are SO CUTE!
No wonder I am so taken with Saffron's cuteness!
And yes, the world is so BACKWARDS these days. We used to encourage people to celebrate their heritage, but now some idiots are screaming racism when we do mention it??? I have NO PROBLEM yelling at these idiots...what a bunch of morons.
<Insert spontaneous Bollywood number here>
Sooooo...they have S2 ears ?
* fly away using the power of internet memes *
The world is so crowded these days, you step on people's toes no matter where you go
You should be careful using the phrase "much ado about nothing". With all of the various trivia you know I would have expected you to already know what that phrase really means, as it does not mean what most people thinks it does and is very much a case of getting something past sensors.
"nothing" was Elizabethan slang for the vagina, and "noting", a homophone with "nothing" at the time, was slang for sex.
At least they didn't use white fellas painted and dressed up as red indians to shoot western movies as Hollywood still does.
Huh, an interesting detail.
Mmm... Was going to make a bolognesey thingy for dinner tonight, now I'm going to make a curry instead :)
Wait! kudzu, what's your favorite curry?
What's your favorite kind of curry, Kudzu?
I'm partial to red curry. We have a Thai restaurant nearby that makes a red curry with Thai pumpkin in it, and it is pretty stellar.

I know this will sound stupid, but I am fond of chicken tikka masala. I find it comforting. Beyond that, I like vindaloo and I have an affinity for lethal green curries. I could probably eat my bodyweight in pakoras.
There is a really decent Indian place that delivers where I currently live, and they have a stupendously hot chicken tikka masala. It is violence in a bowl. I adore stuff, and I think I've got Scarheart hooked on curry.
4511655 The censors have sensors now?
I saw the ears and went "Huh. New character design!"
Now I look at that and go "holy shit these guys are even more awesome."
I thought about Marwari horses first, mostly because those are in my horse breeds book. From you I learned about the Kathiawari, and since they seem to count as ponies and not horses, it makes more sense.
Kudzuhaiku, I'm going to blame you and this blog for a couple of things :)
1. Making me want a curry for dinner tonight.
and
2. Making two days worth of Bengali Murghi and Spiced Basmati Pilau.
Me eating the entire lot in one sitting is purely my own fault!

Ooooh I miss Tikka masala. The presence of dairy precludes me from eating it now. I get the comfort angle, I prefer miso soup over others mostly because of how comforting it is.
He has another leg look one to hold himself up and on around the other.
Me want some lamb curry now...
Indian level spiciness, please!

Ah, If I had but known beforehand.
Indian food is definitely better when shared with company.
