Any chance Featherbrain's roosting somewhere in Twilight's family tree?
Death by Rarity™: Both a fate for the enemies of Equestria and the planet's most fabulous PMC.
Wonderful to see the blog supplements collected in one convenient and much easier to search place. Thank you for collecting them.
Never change Pinkie. Never change. If we are ever attacked by sentient logical robots, you will be our Best and Most Powerful weapon. And you will defeat them.
Hurr hurr, Twilight's a unit.
I'm very fascinated by that story for another time. Will it be a time soon? :D
Also, self-duplicating checklist paper? I can't say I'm surprised, knowing the source. Just that it's taken her this long. :P
Why does just about every sci-fi work involve biological lasers, anyway? I have to say this is a new usage, though.
Have I said I love how absurd this planet's biology is?
I really like the Rarity segments. That first one reminded me just a tad of Schlock's reasoning behind the choice of his plasma cannon.
The second... I wholeheartedly agree.
Also, I've been looking for that clip.
Poor yaks are the butt of every joke, aren't they...
Well, we still have the kilogram, so I can't say it's that horrible a standard.
I can really see this sort of atrocity to physics, magical or otherwise, occurring around her.
You have also outdone yourself with some really good names here.
...How many grad students do they go through, on average? And, for that matter, is the average rate of grad student loss below the minimum rate of grad student loss, just because Pinkie?
Here’s your supply of bleach to go with this snippet.
The skull in Luna's liquor cabinet is actually from invading extradimensional caribou. Entirely different story, and one that is best told over mead. The blood of Kvasir for preference, but anything will do in a pinch.
Is he an expy of the horse he's named for or the human who rode him?

According to the link at least, the horse. Fair point though.
That last one seems familiar. Was it posted in one of your blogs once?
I'm still not sure if it's a good thing to have made that canon at all, but it's still very reassuring to know that they have been wiped out in the most glorious curbstomp since the Trojan war and its massive wooden minotaur, and won't be coming back. Ever.
P.S. You can use that idea, if you want it.
Yeah, I saw this one as a blog and was kinda hoping it wouldn't end up canon. Maybe it's the fact that justifying genocide of any stripe makes me queasy.
I mean, even those caribou have children, I assume (only possess third-hand knowledge of the setting, so apologies if this is in error). And even D&D's Drow had rebels and runaways from a culture built around evil from the ground up. So the notion that caribou as a whole just don't exist anymore implies a non-zero amount of innocent blood. Not counting who else might have gotten caught up in the chaos of their downfall.
Granted, the calculus of the situation might indicate extermination was better for the whole world in the long run as far as innocent blood and atrocities go. But that's still a slope I wouldn't want to stand on.

The Dept. of Pinkieology is notorious for its turnover rate. Their grad students either transfer out or go mad. (Those ones, they keep. It turns out that you do have to be mad to work here, because it helps a lot.)
9467006
Both, really.

For reference: let me just take a moment to say that there's a reason buried in the backstory as to why these caribou were the way they were, and it's one which rather precludes the existence of any but the smallest quantum of innocents, even among their children.
But to say more would be to wander deep into spoiler territory.
At least there isn't a pegasus involved.
That we know of.
The question is whether Quibble is a member of House Pants. And if so, how well regarded he is by other members of the family.
And then we never heard of Caribou ever again.
In no way affiliated with the Princess of Friendship, but we're not going to tell our customers that.™
Also, I really do need to write up that blog post on the archbishop of Canterburied...
You rain fire down upon the deserving one time...

I suppose I should have expected you'd already had something thought out given how intricate the rest of setting is. Glad to see breadcrumbs of background and detail still being added here and there.
When the choices are Operation Downfall or the nuclear annihilation of cities, there are really no good options for those at ground zero. In this case though, why expose your own forces to potential heavy losses when you can arrange for your enemy to destroy themselves?

I could see that happening. Of course, they say that when really it's Her Celestial Majesty's secret investigator...
Dangit, even the names of one-off cities that will probably never be mentioned again sound cool. Some people have all the skill...
