Meet episode 15. Or 14. The one that aired in Australia first. In case you’re spoiler averse, you might want to look at this later.
Moar pone! This episode is written by two ladies who wrote both Rarity Investigates – a very nice episode of relatively low world-building impact, and The Hooffields & McColts, a rather mediocre episode which likewise, didn’t tell us a whole lot about the world.
But now they’re talking about Spike and dragons, and most importantly dragon culture.
Well, it josses a bloody lot.
Moar pony! The new episode is out, and here’s my traditional dose of primary canon combing.
Continuing my points-of-canon series once again. This particular dose of pony is brought to us by Dave Polsky, the gentleman responsible for “Over a Barrel,” i.e. the source of some of the most egregious canon problems.
I was expecting something outrageously difficult, but surprisingly, I had to really fish for any world building elements in this one at all.
Why am I doing this now? Well, because I think it might be useful for the chronology, and I’ve been working on updating my chronology tool for Season 8. I just noticed I didn’t do one for Forgotten Friendship, which does have upper bounds on the Equestrian side now, and that seems chronologically predicated on this, so…
We have ponies out of order. Again.
Let’s get this over with.
I really should be writing, but it’s not working, the brain is stuck in analysis mode. Which is why I’m going to do something else: Another retrospective writeup. There is way too much we simply forgot because we haven’t been exposed to it for a while. I think we missed something.
Let’s start from the very beginning… With HD copies, subtitles, and a frame-by-frame player.
I’m continuing my practice of picking apart episodes for any interesting worldbuilding tidbits they might contain, regardless of their artistic and other merits or demerits.
First of all, hello. Secondly, no, that's not a typo.
If you write fan-fiction, you will either violate canon immediately, or it will be violated inevitably by the show sooner or later. That is the nature of the genre. As hard as I have tried to stick to canon wherever possible, the episodes slowly whittle away at the degree of canon in my stories. The latest episode – "The Times They Are a Changeling" – certainly put a large dent in mine, but it did highlight one thing that supports mine: changelings are not necessarily inherently evil. I
So, in my blog post about the season 6 finale, I joked about needing the scrap all my headcanon about changelings. That prompted some thoughtful comments about why sticking to canon isn't necessary. I started writing a reply, and as I gathered my thoughts together I realized there was enough for another blog post, and here we are.
This is much more off-the-ground theorizing than my typical article on the subject, but eh, why not, canon is sparse, and fanon on the subject is sparser still.
Now that I’ve actually brought this up in Aporia, and got complaints that I’m being incongruous, I need to do something about it, since my readers are probably not quite as familiar with secondary canon as I am.
This just for the sake of context for the rest of my blog post.

Celestia and Luna's origins:
I said that I want to do a collation post on the state of pony technology observed in canon. The Points of Canon series is still a ways off from being complete, but I think I have enough data, so why not do it now.
Since there's no real canon rules about batponies, I decided to loosely use the Fallout Equestria canon with a few modifications considering Equestria hasn't been destroyed in my scenario. Now Guyrin cannot speak like a normal pony because his vocal cords emit much higher frequencies, higher than equine (or human) ears could hear. All he can do is whimper, moan, and hiss... That said, I also decided that each batpony will have a power! In Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons for example, Stygian
