Everything I have, I owe it to you.

I will never disappoint you again.

For this, I will repent with their blood.

As you rise above, they'll drop below.

My dear friend, I'll bring back that witch's head.

Here's the second version, pushed out after Season 4 had just ended. Let's who's staying, who's leaving, who's moving up, and who's moving down. There were a lot of new earth ponies introduced to us in Season 5, and sadly only a few of them made the cut here. Those that didn't can be considered among the honorable mentions.

I suppose I should have been more informative. But it was the New Year and I got distracted.

Anyway! The plan is to eventually post E3: Equestrian Earth Expo as a fanfic here on Fimfic. I just think that Spacebattles is an easier place to brainstorm and post ideas, snippets and eventual chapters on first. So! If you have an idea for E3, or want a chapter to be in the story (with full credit given, of course), just sign up on Spacebattles and start posting!

Pegasi: High but gravelly voice
Unicorns: Intellectual sounding voice, be they dumb or not
Earth: More down to earth voices

Anypony else realize this?

I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year!

Why is that a surprise? Because the story I'll be working on is Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony! I'll effectively be doubling the word count in a month if I can do it. That means Memoirs may have a new update schedule come December.

I was going to make this list update eventually, along with an update for another list. I had hoped to wait until after I'd reviewed the movie more in depth, but so far I haven't been able to obtain a copy either physically or digitally. But with the information that Season 8 will air in late March, I feel like now's as good a time as any to make this update. It turns out that the character of Star Tracker from "Once Upon a Zepplin" was an earth pony and not a unicorn. Therefore, he's being

I've liked the idea that Earth Ponies are the longest lived of the Tribes thanks to their connection to the Earth. After all, Granny Smith is easily two hundred years old if she was at the founding of Ponyville. They can stay in their prime longer than most other ponies, but eventually it just takes too much effort to keep up and they physically become aged. Certain healer Earth ponies can transfer boosts of Earth magic into older ponies as therapy to help them, but this has diminishing returns

(In continuity with the other convention posts)

Spike was out, enjoying the convention, a pouch full of bits from his allowance being delivered to him early. He was on top of the world!

Snips: "Hey Spike! Hey Spike!"

Well, that was a quick trip to rock bottom. Spike sighed.

Spike: "Hey Snips... Enjoying the convention?"

Snips: "Oh, completely! Hey! You wanna see my dad's demonstration?!"

Spike: "Your dad's got a demonstration? Of what?"

I recently got to thinking about the different magics of the three races, and what the best description of each would be. Bear in mind that these thoughts are only my current headcanon, but I believe it is roughly consistent with what is seen on the show.

I suppose we should start with:
Unicorn Magic

After that impressive demonstration, Dash and Twilight were both even more eager to explore the rest of the convention! So the Mane 6 split up to look around. But not before talking to Maude Pie and Cloudy Quartz.

Pretty awesome, eh? 'Nuff said, expect some more cool stuff from this story. And take a look at NixWorlds gallery, he draws great stuff and is even affordable XD

Yes, they have it. I have thought so since 'Hearth's Warming Eve' when a plant sprouted from dirt in Smart Cookie!Applejack's hoof. Now, since that was a play I always took that example with a grain of salt. But then we get Celestia telling us that Earth Ponies have magic in the season 4 finale, and even more crazy, in 'Castle Sweet Castle' Applejack gets plants to grow indoors just by laying down some fertilizer -- on stone floors! So obviously it is magic. Even so, there are a few types of

Chapter 35 posted in The Runaway Bodyguard. Starlight learns about herself and Trigger. It has to do with cooking. Next: The hazing days of spring.

Oh look, another poem. This one was created for Seargent Spring to recite in the latest and last chapter of The Train Ride by Snuffy in a scene where the subject of racism comes up. Sadly for me, he declined to use it, but, I was so proud of it, I had to share it with y'all. I suppose part of the reason I'm so proud, is that while this was percolating in my head for about

According to Lauren Faust, Earth Ponies draw on the life energy of the planet itself to fuel their abilities. This ranges from super strength and endurance, to communication and control over flora and fauna, to Earth bending, healing, increased longevity (Granny Smith is easily two centuries old) and enhanced sensory perception (Pinkie Sense).

In other words they are using life energy. Or as is known in real life martial arts, ki.

“And that’s how you make my Super Amalgamated Ultra Spiced Chai CoffTea!!” the odd pony shouts before pulling out a bag, “Here I have some for you!”

“I don’t know if I should, considering the last time I accepted tea from some-p-pony…”

Something comes to mind after watching the 'Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep' episode. This idea has been in my head for a while now and I'm glad to take this time to talk about it.

Can an earth pony ascend to alicornhood?

The answer is yes.
