Oh, Kudzu, I wouldn't hate you for that.
I'd hate you for having neither chapter have anything happen in them.
Oh no, i wouldn't throw you to the typos. I would throw you to the 1337 typers that still manage to make typos.
shear
Sheer is the adjective, shear is the verb.

Don't give him ideas!
How did I know it was going to snap?
Stretching the limits of belief for me there with how strong Sentinel and Moonbow are. They're not even ten years old. I could see giving AJ a hard time from the Discord-magic-alteration-for-war-monsters, because AJ's pretty damn strong. But to be on the level of Big Mac/Maud? Unless lunar pegasi keep relatively the same physical strength from yearling to adulthood, if this is just 'natural progression' and they'll be many times stronger than this when they're older and better trained, then that's too much.
I got an error twice while loading this story. I think it's getting too many chapters to load properly soon.
5693977 Bless your heart, you didn't know Kudzu probably already had that idea even before I gave it a voice.
But now we must see if his artistic integrity overrides the inherent desire to cause his viewers to suffer.
5693977 THIS! DO NOT GIVE HIM IDEAS D:
well, good chapter, read it while WIP and Dinky saved the day nicely
as for
i will not throw you to the typos... no, i will just hand them the pitchforks and torches... there is nothing like watching an angry typo mob
Actually having the big event be in 501 would be hilarious.
That must have been a very low quality chain, for it to shatter like that, even in cold weather (steel would shatter at cryogenic temperatures, not snowfall temperatures).
At most, only one link should have torn open.
5694150
Or a very old chain with a lot of stress previously on it.

I hope Rising Star is going to have a talk with the responsible blacksmith.
We'd never throw you to typos. Why feed that which must be eradicated?
5694159 Interesting...I remeber watching a NatGeo thing ´bout swords where they tried to see what´s true and what´s not. Tey used a .50 against a samurai sword to see if it can cute through bullets that can take a airplane down and, surprisingly, the sword actually cutted a couple of shots in half...before exploding in all directions. So, stressed metal exploding under high pressure is a thing you DON´T want to watch close hand.
And, Aurora, it was stressed over and over again: Lunar Pegasus, even foals, are unbelievable strong in this universe. Sentinel not that much, he have a slightly higher strength then a strong earth pony of the same size. Diamond Tiara IS an earth pony. But Moonbow is in another completly different level. A female lunar pegasus with EXTREME strength training for months...she is a locomotive by her own ! She, probably, finished the phisical part of her training, meaning that, in terms of pure strength, she can fight a DRAGON and win (still need fighting techniques sure, but the raw stregth nedeed is there).
Somepony is going to get it. If Dinky didn't do that, ponies would have died.
I'm thinking you meant "Celestia is considering giving us the west coast as our fiefdom." Maybe something similar. Dunno. Broke brain no worky-worky.
501 should be the Fancy Pants chapter
Belisama makes a good point: After generations in Equestria, griffons won't feel any kind of connection to the homeland of their ancestors. Some may return, but they won't feel the same emotional ties.
As for the tug-of-war, Dinky demonstrates that a talent for coordinating many small, fast flying things is good for more than just hive control. Also, she's going to need a tissue and a prayer, because the latter's pretty much the only thing that might help against her mother.
Looking forward to the demimillennial, even if it turns out to be an anticlimax.
If 500 was a huge tease...I'd be okay with that. I'd still date chapter 500.
No one deserves that.
If you skipped big events in 500, I would most certainly destroy you.
I HATE being the one to say that, but, wasn´t stated, sometime after Rising becoming a type three, that his magic is too focused towards fire control in order to rise any defensive spell effectivily ? Or becoming a fey changed that and, now, not only he can use his fire skills securely but using his magic in defense too ?
5693999
I have to agree with you here, while Chaseverse has Lunar pegasi as being stronger and larger than any other pony race, mass does play a huge part in tug of war. I don't care how strong a 50 lb kid is, a horse like Big Mac is going to drag them without breaking a sweat. Even if DT earth pony powers were adding mass or exponentially increasing their friction three full grown earth ponies would be impossible to beat with just one foal.
5696647
He has defensive skills, he's just not very good at them. He is heavily attuned to fire.
5696739
Moonbow is already almost the size of a full grown adult and growing larger each day. She's spent the past several months dragging around several hundred pounds of iron weights and learning to move around with them.
In short, she's ripped.
5696759
Big Mac and Maud are literally the strongest earth ponies known to canon. They are the exemplars and pinnacle of our current understanding of the limits of earth pony strength. Big Mac dragging a house was even mentioned in this very chapter. Two lunar pegasi foals against Big Mac alone, I could believe that if the terrain and situations were in their favor, they could give him a workout. But not be just hauling him around like Rising's keen observational skills pointed out. As for DT being an earth pony, she's been expressly pampered most of her life, so she's not even a contender in this. I could see Sentinel and Moonbow stalemating AJ - the girl's damned strong, and it showcases how strong the lunar pegasi are and Moonbow's training is. Perhaps even AJ and Shill, because he looked kinda like a nerd when last I saw him.
But these kids aren't even ten years old and they broke even with a very strong full-grown earth pony mare and Big Macintosh who has shown he can drag a house across town while hopping, a feat similar to Maud's launching of that boulder, given the fact that he exerts no pulling force while in the air. If breaking even with them while the terrain is in favor of the earth ponies is a thing, that means if the terrain was neutral, these children outclass the strongest there is, barring potentially the alicorns.
You can't tell me that doesn't strike you as too much? I feel this could be fixed by making it apparent in the chapter that Mac and AJ were holding back to give the kids some fun, since no one else there'd be able to handle the lunars except them. As it stands, everything in the chapter points to the Apples+Shill went full bore and should have lost. With such a fix, it'd also help to dispel the logical conclusion that if they can produce more power than Mac and Jack as children, then as adults they should effectively be able to fold dragons and alicorns in half easily.
5696926
They can. That is the point. And do.
Grimglammer, if you recall, has killed a couple of full sized dragons.
Sentinel cannonballed into a minotaur and turned him into a fine red mist along with a pile of blood sausages. Or the fact that Sentinel ripped a griffon's leg right out of the socket.
The lunar pegasi were evenly matched with the earth ponies for strength. Neither of them really had an advantage. The foals couldn't get traction and even Big Mac slipped a bit.
Allow me to repeat myself. Moonbow just got done dragging around several hundred pounds of iron weights for several months as part of her strength training. She is already almost the size of a full grown pony and will continue to grow larger. Much larger.
They're supposed to be scary.
5696944
Several hundred pounds vs. a house. Mac, by definition and feats, should be stronger. These are foals. The bit with Sentinel and the minotaur doesn't really belong in this conversation because it wasn't controversial. That was expected, and something I don't think any of us doubt that AJ or Mac's technically capable of.
The lunar pegasi were scary before this. The opposition to how that scene played out comes from the fact they've moved beyond "Holy shit what are they even capable of." to arbitrary +100 Str and thus equally as strong as, as far as we know both in canon and in your story, the strongest earth ponies period, who have been shown to rather easily move tons of materials.
The full Myrmidons were expected to be stronger than the entire Earth Pony race. But children? Come on Kudz. That's just Worfed up.

Lunar pegasi foals are easily capable of all this?
5696992
Sentinel is considered a weakling if you've been paying attention. Moonbow has even teased him because of his lack of strength.
He also has to treat the entire world as though it was made of glass. He lives in constant fear of crushing those around him.
Lunar pegasi have supernatural levels of strength. They're not entirely equines, not in the strictest sense. They're like... kryptonians.
There has been all kinds of subtle clues provided all throughout the story about how strong they are.
5697036
All of which I'm well aware of, so the point about me paying attention was unnecessary. Providing clues isn't the point, it's the result that's controversial. I brought examples, if you're still saying this is accurate after looking at those, you're telling me that the children are capable of easily exerting the force required to drag or launch quite a few tons of material. (Big Mac's hauling a house that's at least twenty-twenty five tons from eyeballin', or about 50,000lbs)
This is what I meant by going past scary and into the arbitrary realm. Even with Worfing the best of the best that the best of Equinity has to offer, I can no longer maintain my suspension of disbelief in relation to their physical abilities. They are incomparable and thus lack a sense of the severity or intensity of their abilities. Feels like they've got a stat card with "Strength: Plot" written in, so I should assume that Lunar Pegasi are all so powerful even as children that they can't be topped except by whatever the story calls for to be stronger than them - which makes their strength less than believable rather than amazing like it was originally assumed. I'm actually somewhat disappointed by this, they were the most interesting race to me prior.
5697106 you're reading a story about talking, technicolor ponies, griffons, and other magical riffraff, and you're having trouble suspending belief for how strong they are? You'd be good at CinemaSins.
6731055 *ding!*
I don't think that Two lunar pegasi and an earth pony… are over powered there're not much stronger than a cat, as long as you're talking about a D11R
