Insight into our world. · 3:59pm Aug 16th, 2014
My little ponies,
For anypony wondering, let me clarify. Gender alone may not seem such an issue or difference, but in Artemis and Solaris' world, there is a high ratio of stallions to mares, as opposed to Luna and Celestia's world. With this, and the male leaders of Equestria, the military is much larger, and the princes are extremely well trained and battle-hardened. There is as much emphasis on freedom and friendship here, but the society has more practical order and everypony has a strong sense of duty. Twilight was Celestia's prized student, but Dusk was Solaris' student and apprentice/squire. Many of the things Artemis is going through Luna is too, but, needless to say, there are some differences as well. While Artemis does not know this specifically, he can guess the world's difference with female leaders for Equestria.
Post your thoughts on this, and enjoy,
Prince Artemis.
It's good to see someone else put a little more thought into a gender swapped world too, as much of society is built up and around many things, gender included. To think it would be a carbon copy with only the names changed as well is foolish at best.
Good on you.
There are plenty of things that are naturally set one way or another, so the brain chemistry and circumstances can make differently gendered copies of the same ponies act the same, but there are large things based on gender, and ponies must deal with those issues in ways that they physically can, which is sometimes reliant on gender.
Very insightful. I always thought that different Genders would affect universe in general. So i Can see those things happening. I would say, that the main six wouldn't have gotten into as many arguments, those would have turned into all out brawls. For example the Running of the Leaves. I could see Rainbow Blitz and AppleJack start punching each other in the race,not sabotage. Same, with Trenderhoof coming after AppleJack, Especially the sleep over at Twilight's house.
2374816 I can only imagine Elusive saying "I can hold my own against a ruffian like you in fisticuffs!" rather than passive-aggressively getting each other dirty/fancy at the slumber party.
2374828 All I'm saying is that on truth and Dare, I can see them fighting, knowing AppleJack. Also imagine when Fluttershy learned to be assertive. I can see that as Butterscotch learning to fight from female iron will. That would be fun to watch Butterscotch learn to fight.

Dear cthulhu, this must be written.
2374938 Oh Great. I really want to find a picture now with Discord Dressed up at as a cheerleader. Who is cthuhlu?
2375061 You don't know who Cthulhu is?
2375078 Who is he?
2375087 Tentcle squid demon g-d, look him up!
2375094 Okay. Thanks.
2374860 I mentioned how Dusk has experience with stopping his friends from doing anything rash, especially Rainbow Blitz. To say the least, the mane 6 are a bit more lively group, especially during cider season.
