I've been following a thread in a group here on FimFiction where people, one individual in particular though, are talking about how Celestia is grossly underused in the show, and it's just slowly but surely built up a little bit of rage in my head. See, here's the thing that gets me - these guys claim to love Celestia so much, but they alk about how ever since season 1 or 2, basically form the get-go if you read deeply into what these guys are talking about, the show has been crapping on

The show's canon and mine differ severely on certain time scales.

The show uses "a thousand years past" for all sorts of events of long ago. It is a catchall for "a long time ago".

Canon Pandering is a fascinatingly tricky idea. You'll see it pop up here and there. An episode will air, and then suddenly every story that featured Bonbon in it will add a chapter that retcons in how she was a secret agent working for Princess Celestia. This happened with Twilicorn a lot, with authors going so far as to edit past chapters, and artists deleting and redrawing their own illustrations, to ensure that their pony was properly princessified. Seeing this invaribly irritates me, which

My friends, my fans, my family:
A few of you may remember a cryptic tag in a previous post. Namely, #WhiteDawnIsCanon. Well, what it was referring to was me and a friend of mine, Whitelight, basically saying we don't mind if people ship us.

Well, I am thrilled to announce that now it's not only a canon ship, it's official!

And so here I am. It was a major adventure that took most of the afternoon. Know what I mean?

Actually, it took me most of a day, but I’m no Pinkie.

I have previously referred to using a specific rearranged episode chronology which I found somewhere deep in the bowels of the net, and can’t seem to find again. It was complete up until the end of season 3, whereupon most efforts to produce a consistent episode chronology for ponies seem to vanish entirely. Nobody even bothers anymore.

Since the start of Season Five, many TCB fans/haters have noticed that Starshine Glimmer's 'equalisation' plan bares more than a passing resemblance to the main plot of TCB, only with no humans involved.

Hello bronies and pegasisters, it's Arctech here with a bit of a... discussion of sorts (I guess?). So, we're continuing through Tales of Littlepip, with the next chapter currently being worked on. When I started working on this chapter, I got to thinking about which mlp episodes I'm going to include in the story in the future, which then led to me thinking about one of my favorite fallout: Equestria side stories.

Honestly, does canon really matter when it comes to fan fiction?

Not to dismiss canon completely, but I feel like if you really want to tell a story that deviates from the original narrative you can. I suppose it really depends on how you tell the story. The only objection I have if you turn a character that's clearly depicted as good from the show into an evil one without giving any logical explanation for why it happened. The same for an evil character being turned good.

Alright, so, the last chapter of the current arc is almost done, and seeing as it’s a family arc and that Tempered and Morning accidentally birthed a mistake that has nothing to do with Night, I felt now would be a good time to address something that my readers may or may not have realized. Namely, some of the weirder things to result from the five year time skip.

In the world of The Day the Show Reset, there are a lot of differences to real life, minor alterations from the show, and decisions on how the chronology of the show plays out. This blog will be updated as more details about the fic's canon are decided.

1. Equestria Girls is canon.
2. Every month has 30 days, and there are no leap years. Because I hate math.
3. The series begins in the year 1106.

So yes, I wrote a thing.

A short thing, full of stuff.

I suck at descriptions, so just read it. They changed tags, so I can't mark it as tragicomedy (sad/comedy). Now tagged correctly, THANKS BRAIN FOR NOT DOING THAT THE FIRST TIME!

JUST READ IT!

The Story (It's a one-shot! No cliffhangers I promise!)

Time for another thought experiment in pegasus flight. They’re pretty complicated creatures, these pegasi, aren’t they?

So, yesterday's episode of My Little Pony was VERY interesting, in that we find out a bit more about Changelings from probably the ONLY friendly Changeling of the race.

Things learned:

-Changelings CAN create unique identities, as WELL as copy existing ponies.
-Changelings CAN transform into other species besides ponies, including bipedal forms. We don't know if they can get the capabilities of any of these other species though, i/e a Dragon's fire breath.

I just remember one thing - Grand Equestria Pony Summit. And this images:

This statue supposedly made from gemstones that summit delegates brought with themselves. IIRC one gem represents one major city that important enough to send said delegates on the summit. Which mean that it's not included towns like Ponyville, villages, farms, some other settlements...

So I had a question I can’t substantiate a good answer for. Let’s try posing it to a wider audience.

All we officially know is that a moon is an arbitrary amount of time which according to Jayson Thiessen has no Earth equivalent. But is that really true?

Granting that a mysterious time scale can be used without much fear in storytelling as there's little chance of continuity error, there is precisely one reference in MLP canon that corresponds to an Earth equivalent, and it's likely the most innocuous comment one can imagine.
