Ponies are tiny horses. (Colorful magical ones in this case). Thus, they have hooves.

How does hooves hold and manipulate objects? (Nevermind instances where pegasi manipulate things with their wings and earth ponies seem to manipulate things with their.. manes and tail, apparently Pinkie Pie picked up a few pointers from the Mane-iac)

As well as tuning game-mechanic ideas and redoing other parts of the mod to improve meshing.

There are a *lot* of red ponies with blue manes around here...

... why is that?

But then I was distracted by King of Dragon Pass. Lovely old game. Not for the faint of heart. Anyways, I was going to blog a bit about my farfetched fantheories such as how the Royal Siblings broke Equestria's basic ecosystem by imprisoning its resident Spirit of Chaos and everything has had to be done manually ever since, but eh, farfetched.

KodP is pretty awesome, though I can't for the life of me stop picturing my Clan Ring as the mane-six. Someone should do a fic...

Princess Celestia, Co-ruler of Equestria. Dominion of the Sun and the sky and possibly a few other things. Commands the very course sun itself (and until Luna got back, the moon too) Her power is unquestioned. Ethereal, eternal, powerful yet kind with nigh infinite patience and love for her subjects.

Not a Goddess.

Not even a little one.
