    Would you like to be a pony?

    Just curious, but if reincarnation was genuinely a thing, would you like to be reincarnated as a pony? If so, which type? And would you want to retain the memories of your previous human life?

    Gilda-Big Mac art for "It Takes Six"

    The wonderful KlaraPL has just completed a pic I commissioned of Big Mac and Gilda for the story. I have added it to the chapter, but because people are unlikely to notice unless they re-read the story, I'm putting it in this blog too.

Thestral, if as a pony. My avatar has even my preference in style.
Maybe my three languages are a nice thing to add to the world otherwise I have a head start as a adult in a newborn body.

I'd want to be a Pegasus so I can sleep on a cloud. As for remembering my past life it depends on how traumatic it was.

I agree with the thestral idea remember my previous life I don't know depends on how traumatic it was though not having to completely start from scratch might be good

100% Yes.

Unicorn, and yes, I'd like to retain memories of my past life. And in the new one, I'd strive to get into a field of work/study where I could find ways to introduce some human Ideas/tech along with hopefully finding ways to incorporate magic into those ideas/tech.

Either an Alicorn or a Pegasus/Thestral hybrid will assess to all magic of the different pony tribes.

Yes I would a pegasus or unicorn if possible an alicorn

Yes, and a Pegasus.

As for past life memories? Sure, even if it was traumatic I'd still like to know.

Changeling or Bat Pony.

Would not care either way about previous life memories.

I'd love to be a Changeling. The memories part would be decided on if I was sent to Equestria before or after the reformation of the Changelings.

Yes, keep memories, and unicorn :twilightsmile:

I'd probably want to be a hippogriff. With memories intact.

Absolutely, as my Ponysona

Midnight Blaze
Type: Unicorn (Lunar Pony descent)
Sex: M
Coat: Sapphire
Mane: Black with dark blue highlights
Eyes: Turquoise
Cutie-Mark: Pale Blue-White Crescent Moon facing upwards, almost enclosing a five-point star surrounded by five twinkles

I think I'd like to remember my past life as I grow up, so I wouldn't be as confused during my foalhood. I'd want to learn and study magic to become a a skilled mage, and then open my own magic shop where I craft my own wares: Magical tools, potions, clothing, novelties, and I'd go on adventures every now and then to restock on ingredients and materials to make my wares.

If I could, I'd court Twilight Sparkle (my waifu) but otherwise I'd find some other partner as well as good friends

If i could be reborn in equestira in general i would PREFER to be a gryphon or a hippogryph but if i didnt hae a choice but to be a pony my sona beta upgrade would be nice even if i did have to start from scratch with his tallent and work my way slowly up to the level of power and ability he has in my mind (hes the magical equivalent of a cybernetics expert, creating golemcraft limbs to replace lost ones and even impriving existing things...useing himself more often then not as a test bed, i was inspired to create him after hearing wooden toaster's song 'prototype vip')

You mean born as a real earth pony, or an MLP pony? :derpytongue2:

i'd fight so hard in the afterlife to be a griffon.
and no i'd like the life to be a new one. no memories of prior.

Sure I’d be down for that. Pegasus or Unicorn for sure. I’d love to fly and sleep on clouds. But the shear utility of even basic levitation is very tempting as well. . And as for memories of past life? 50/50. Undecided as of right now.

Going against the grain a bit here kinda but... I’d probably want to be a changeling from my story. From the same hive my OC is from that is. though as for the pony persona they’d adopt it’d be Pegasus probably same as my OC. Not sure on the retaining memories thing though.

I can't give up eating Ribeye steaks, so not a pony...

Lesser alicorn.
My personality is earth pony but want to fly and telekinesis. Lesser so I'm same size every one else and don't have those insane mana levels.

Plus who wants to out live all there friends and family.

They can eat meat, just not a lot at a time.

Unicorn preferred here. As to remembering a past life, yes, but not completely. I have rare flashes of what I presume are past lives now in this life. Maybe something similar there, to urge my studies along.

I wouldn't mind...

I'd go for gryphon but the lion half is replaced with fox instead. I'd keep some of my memories

Pegasus and I would want selective memory. like of science and technology, the thought process of a human without the sad feelings of leavin people behind or past family members

Definitely a unicorn

I would rather be a Gryphon. Keep my memories so I could found a pirat guild and give all the ships and captains names to pass through the ages. Captain blackbeard and the Princess Platnum's revenge. Captain Barbosa and the Blackpearl, captain Harlock and the Arcadia, just to name a few. Have a hidden town to call home, name it Libertalia. Would be nice to have a bit of phoenix in the blood so I could kerp them ahead of the tech a little throughout. Would love to experiace going from sailing ships through to airship pirates.

I would love to be a pegasus with my memories. I want to experience the freedom of personal flight.

Death is a whole new adventure, a new chapter in a on-going story of ones life or lives experiences. To be able to carry past life experiences, one could discover within oneself the true nature of what makes up a soul. I would ask to live again as a Kirin, To be able to live in knowledge of my past selfs, to learn from and experience anew the tastes and flavors of lifes foods, the hi points and the lows with a broader outlook on things. Yes, knowing that i have left my former life behind and the cherished loved ones. I could live in the hope that those that follow in their own passing time, i am able to once again in some way reconnect. Such a loaded question.. Would one want to be a pony? Why just a pony when an individual can be soo much more when they are more then the sum of their total life experiences. Its a whole new world to explore and experience.

Pegasus with memories intact.

I'd run a rolling food cart selling carrot dogs and the occasional hot dog. Stone-ground mustard would be free but grilled onions would always cost extra (sorry, Luna).

If anyone had the guts to ask about the source of the hot dog meat, I'd reply, "No pony you know."

Yes, unicorn or earthpony mare, yes.
Alas. :/

Maybe becoming Starswirl the Bearded but for other magical or technical fields of expertise.
5769078
Contrast is the key, would be amazing to experience flight.
5769082
Nice :raritywink:

Ha-ha! Clever :ajsmug:👍

Neat :rainbowdetermined2:

:moustache:🤘

A batpony mare with my memories intact that isn't nocturnal.

Reborn with memories intact? Absolutely. As a pony? If so, then as a unicorn, alicorn if possible. But I'd much rather look at other races. Hands are...well...handy. So maybe an Abyssinian. Or even better a chakitty if I'm allowed to choose outside Equus or else a Starwalker or Veldt breed stellar foxtaur.

Retain my memories. While there is an attachment to the this current personality. I think going in with the choice, remembering would hopefully lend one to be more appreciative of another go around te wheel of life.

And no pony, only Dragon.

Bat pony/thestral stallion for sure, with memories in tact preferably. So many ideas from this world that could improve the lives of others. Medical treatments, appliances, and such. Heck, even different food possibilities, more variety and different preparations.

I've seriously thought about a 'ponies after people' future and would be happy to take my place there, I think.

Unicorn or griffin by choice. I want hands if I can't have magic and flying would be cool.

I feel drawn to unicorn, kirin, and draft types.

Which makes me wonder, since there's pegacorns, in your stories, could there be an earth pony and unicorn hybrid...

Oh, and intact memories, for sure.

Unreformed, unrepentant Changeling and I feel that human knowledge would have disastrous consequences for a peaceful world like My Little Pony. For person who invents the light bulb there is one who invents the atomic bomb, and so on

If I had my human memories I would probably create a system where the ponies would prefer to live in my idyllic fantasy instead of reality (how humanity is moving towards living in a virtual or false reality rather than reality). A happy pony produces more love after all and they deserve to be happy all the time

Changeling queen who raise her hive to assume forms as insensitvely speciesist characture as equinely possible and then remind anyone who complains that A) They have no right to decry my hive cultures heritage and B) I'd probably take them more seriously if they hadn't just laughed at the zebra who got the mickey taken out of him five seconds ago.

My hive would have a dream. A dream that all species, while of course maintaining good natured bigotry merely to the realms of humor and remaining somberly aware of history, can still point to each other respective spiritual leader big stupid hat and tell each other it makes them look like a right bell end and everyone laugh. Demanding otherwise does nothing but engender resentment between people when we should working on building a better more tolerant world for all.

Not that they know much something about hard work I suppose:trollestia:

Gryphons long ago found a solution to the dilemma

Meanwhile in a restaurant in The Gryphon Republic...



"I'm telling you dear, its fine."

The pegasus mare sitting across from her gryphon crossed her forelegs and glared at her mate as he made marks on the cows hide of where he wanted his cut.

"Its not damn it! You're eating a sapient being! And you, how are you fine with this!"

Pausing in his work, the gryphon looked worriedly at his mare.

"Um... love, sweetie, please don't..."

"Don't you want to live?"

The cow slowly looked up, her smile frozen now in a rictus of madness.

"Live?"

"Oh fuck me..."

"LIVE?!"

Bolting to the mare, the cow grabbed her by the shoulders and began shaking her.

"WHAT IS LIFE! I JUST WANNA DIE! EXISTENCE IS PAIN TO COWS YOU FEATHERED CUNT!"

Taking a shaking step back, the cow fell back on her rump, clutching her head in her forehooves.

"I HAD MY FUCKING CALF DAMN IT! I DID MY PART, I JUST WANT IT ALL TO END!"

As the cow began to rock back and forth, a gryphoness walked up, wielding a blood splattered bat.

"Damn it all... Every time a pony comes around..."


5769066
Yeah, but then your aware that you are a baby and that you have to live through the hell of no spacial awareness as an infant.


5769070
Who will build his own Equestria! With Blackjack! And hookers! And then will give Blackjack the heave ho from said Equestria because that rancid gash was putting out to the point the hookers were leaving the sex industry to enter STEM fields and cope with familial trauma in a healthy manner.:trollestia:


5769311
Ugh, thats kind of horrifying in its own right. A bug horses Plato Republic:twilightoops:

5769463
Hence why I don't want my memories, I'll end up unintentionally setting the dog on fire

5769503
That suggests that ponies are dopes unable to cope with the talking boxes and thus must live like the Amish less the wicked ways of man like the polio cure and the sort of porn people fall into when one comes not having spent the whole day raising barns and working the butter churner stick faster and harder to suppress the gay whenever Jebediah is working without his shirt.

Lets not forget ponies do have a rather idiosynchratc level of tech in gen 4. And no, I don't count gen 5. Ever. On anything. That Cocomelon deformer miscarriage can crawl back to the expulsion bucket and choke on its own afterbirth.

If I had my human memories I would probably create a system where the ponies would prefer to live in my idyllic fantasy instead of reality (how humanity is moving towards living in a virtual or false reality rather than reality). A happy pony produces more love after all and they deserve to be happy all the time

Yeah, but that leads to a school of thought that is a train wreck. Who is the master, who the tool? It reduces ponies as livestock, an idea that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It also has a detrimental on a species unable to cope with disaster or hardship spending an existence being coddled and kept fat and happy.

Luckily the changeling of my hive long ago stumbled across a solution.

5769527
Your talking to someone with the full belief that humans haven't evolved that far from chimpanzees smashing each other's brains in with a big rock. We humans have a talent for death and a misguided destruction we call creation. Every "good deed" we attempt has negative consequences we tend to ignore

5769463
I've a story about some starting from day one, I have currently managed to go over the first few years.
Starting without body coordination unless somepony helped was tough,but my character manage.
There are children with 3-4 years that know to walk or even properly jog, I really don't see the problem.

My Coyony would be fine, But I'd rather be Anthro Coyote.

Nah, not like that. I mean that babies have no spatial awareness. Like, you know how you peekaboo with them and they get all excited. Thats because to a baby you're literally gone then came back.

Now imagine that state of perception, and being an adult on the inside. It would be a trip to say the least

5770027
1. Human are maybe like it, but with a adult in his / her body it might be different.
2. I didn’t used a human body so.. meh
3. Even if so, its only temporary.
