    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.)

Points of Canon à la Oliver: S1E11 ❧"Winter Wrap-up" · 4:46pm May 20th, 2017

Legend:
Technology!mechanics ∃there exists Scenery Ability♪I heard… Magic.
Chiropteral notes (lit. hand-wing) or other anthropomorphismAnimation oddments,visual interest
Interaction with later.❧uncategorized. I've gone mad with power.


♪"Not mommy". Later, he calls her sister, but in a slangy-vernacular way preventing it from being a definite family-role ID.
No snow outside tree at too-early morning, not even on rooftops.
The hive is there, though.
Saddle-wearing. Then not. Twi doesn't magic her saddle on…odd.
❧Twilight's somehow then late and misses the role assignments…or it's not done on that day. Given how she is late-o-phobic, I suspect the latter.
Excited Lyra.
∃"Awesome holidays."
Blowing clouds using breath is feasible.
Is that a teen Sweetie Belle waking animals? no, monocolor mane.
Twi scales the Ponyville cliff, 30° slope. Where is that thing?
No magic? That's a racist custom.
❧Apparently moving a basket doesn't count against Rarity either. Where is the line drawn?
❧"Especially not on my farm." How does this fit with her picking a score of trees at a go ("Applebuck Season")? It doesn't.
Cloud-drill-nado.
wouldn't that be nice in the Crystalling…?
FS's wings are flared when she's waking the hedgehogs, a thing that would make it hard forh er to get in, but perhaps it's so she doesn't fall too far in. Or she really, really enjoys this job.
❧Twi fears snakes.
Skunk juice has same peculiar properties as here w/r/t tomatos. Shared myth, though, not shared fact.
Twi's too weak to plow.
Squeeze a bird: [telekinesis shown of] a living thing. She can make it sound.
∃Assembly line.
That rope-ringer is very unlikely to work. Or reduce labor, for that matter. IT might make things easier by allowing pre-melt work, then waking all at once, though, avoiding idleness while other jobs are blocking…good organization note.
Where'd Mayor get fresh apples? There already appear to be red apples in the background on the trees, too. That's damn-fast growing.
Was that an angelfish?
⛧All-team vest foreshadowing Princess Twilight?
That all-team vest goes on not by unfastening nor going over the head but magically. White-out glow and all.
Nobody seems to fear Spike drowning. I guess he can swim.

This one? That’s not a slope, the trees are also tilted. It’s a dutch angle.

“Especially not on my farm.” How does this fit with her picking a score of trees at a go (“Applebuck Season”)? It doesn’t.

Picking apples from trees is not a ritual. :)

Dutch angle? Likely story…doylist. She is nonetheless at the top of a cliff/overlook immediately after. The precise angle is a side-note; the important part there was that she went to the pram-launch-ramp or the top of one side of the dam or the sculpture-stone-slide-delivery-path or the Cutie Mark Hangliding Barren Cliff or the Cloudsdale Express Delivery Slingshot cliff…damn, there are a lot of Ponyville Heights that just seem not to work together. (Actually, I don't think the geometry of this one could fit any but the pram-launcher).

No, not a ritual…somehow AJ's apple-bucking never accrued cruft like pig-feeding. I suppose it is the highest-repetition task on the farm.
