    UnDeserved: FiM/EqG's terrible moral

    I watched entirely too much pony this morning. It got me thinking.

    EqG 1: Sunset Shimmer not granted higher power by Celestia, takes Element of Magic, becomes demon.
    2(RR): Sirens not granted magic by default, must take it, are demonized for their acts. (weakest version)

    Explaining Pinkie Sense: Pwny Pony Pinkie, Brainhacker Extraordinaire

    So I've produced several (mostly scientifically-worthless but possibly making for good stories) hypotheses here:
    1. Pinkie's social powers and memory derive from memory-hacking everypony she meets. Ponies, specifically.
    1b. This is pid (pony ID) based, so pool clones do not benefit; this is whgat Pinkie actually acts like without her mental powerup.

    Points of Canon mini: ❧ s7e20 "A Health of Information"

    ❧Polymorph effects are getting more and more common, yet we keep running into things that they should solve ("It Isn't the Mane Thing About You").
    ❧Swamp Fever doesn't require the whole lifecycle to reproduce…or Zecora just had some of the spores still on her to give the doc. (On the flipside, kudos for actually making it infect those it came in contact with.)

Þe Olde Canterlot Conjugation Centre · 8:29am Dec 7th, 2016

Thou shalt familiarize thyself with the forms of thy singular second-person pronoun, and then mastery shall be thine, and the Heavens smile upon thee.

I have, thou hast, he/she it hath, we/you/they have
I do, thou dost, he/she/it doth, we/you/they do (with didst as the second-person singular past)
I am, thou art, he/she/it is, we/you/they are.

General verbs will just have a "-[e]st" and "-[e]th" appended to second- and third-person singular.

One should notice a similarity to the standard German verb conjugations. Likewise, note the relationship of "thou" with German "du" and French "tu" and similarly in other Romance languages; it implies familiarity, if you're being truly correct.

If you really want to have fun, include thorns…but this runs a risk of running afoul of site rules of posting in English. Then again, it technically does not specify Modern English…
