The most exciting town in ALL of EQUESTRIA!! X3
Ponyville, a lovely place full of lovely ponies, who do lovely things, that improve this lovely town, and the lovely world as a whole. Did I say lovely enough yet? Not sure if I met the quota for it yet. Well, all jokes aside, it's a lovely place to live in, with a great sense of community, a lot of activities you can do in it, and only the occasional monster or evil overlord attack, every Monday.
Most ponies would think you would need to absolutely mad in the head to live here, but that's not true. You just have to be someone who loves adventure, or having the spice of life in your daily life.
Like, having a mare who LOVES being fashionable, go crazy from an evil tome of INSPIRATION, and making everything absolutely FABULOUS!! It was a good change of scenery, and it's SUCH a shame that friendship had to ruin the rest of Equestria's chances of ever getting to experience TRUE BEAUTY.
Or that one time thousands of Pink Hyperactive Mares were rampaging through the town. With some basic training, or brainwashing from the local Princess Of Books, they could have all been great workers, who had literally no lives or purpose outside of being "Annoying", as others called them.
Or, that other time some cyan, all the colours of the rainbow mare destroyed a hugely important piece of government equipment, that was responsible for creating snow, and helping to maintain the weather. I think we can all agree, that you're a SOULLESS MONSTER if you DON'T think, that the protective love you have for a pet, and massive desire to FIGHT FATE, doesn't TOTALLY justify causing an extreme winter beyond measure!!
Plus, I love snow. It's extremely pleasant to look at, and it's a great excuse to lay in bed all day, and drink hot coco.
Imagine if you were a foal, who found out that school was cancelled for ages, AND who was now able to play outside with their friends, in the plentyiful snow, without a worry in the world?
I'll never forget the time that one magician showed up here, claiming she conquered an Ursa Minior. Unlike everypony else, I was inteligent enough and doubtful enough, to see through her lies with ease.
I didn't challenge her though. I could have easily kicked her flank, but a stage performers confidence is EVERYTHING, and I didn't want to ruin her reputation or life, just to make myself look better.
Then two dumbfl-dumb fools got an ACTUAL Ursa Minior into the town, for her to stop. The excuse "They are only foals" holds no water, when you're that naive, reckless, and beyond all logic.
She failed, of course, and I couldn't take on an Ursa Minior, cause even I have my limits. Luckily, Princess Of Books, back when she was just Book Horse, managed to summon all her magical energy, to not only leviate the whole dang creature, but give it a huge bottle of milk, and send it all the way home.
Somehow she managed to do all of that, without suffering from a Magic Burnout. Levitating the bear all the way home is even more impressive, since she didn't even have a clear line of sight, so it was perfectly possible she just ending up trying to force them trough a wall, with no clue there even was a wall.
Definitely a very entertaining and awesome show of magic, which hopefully I will be able to pull off if I was ever rquired to.
This then leads into the mare going from magician to Dark Witch, as she easily took over the town, using the Alicorn Amulet. This evil artifact could supposedly give you the power of an alicorn, but also drive you insane with UNLIMITED POWER!!!
When she got wind that there was another, far more popular magician in the town, she wanted to rob me of all my magical power, and talent, since "NOPONY can be a better magician than the ULTIMATE and UNSTOPPABLE TTTRRRIXE!!".
I admit, I was kind of scared. And by kind of scared, I mean I was absoutely scared senseless.
So, I used my cunning and magical powers of Illusion magic, to hide and remain invisble. I am great at hiding myself through using magic, and if that wasn't an option, I could always create a false ponysona, by changing some details of myself, right down to my gender, using the power of realistic illusions.
Unfortunately, she did eventually track me down, using mind reading and life energy sensing, after she eventually got the idea that those spells could exist, and challenged me to a magic duel. If I lost, I would loose all my magic powers, FOREVER.
I was beyond doomed. I had a better chance of becoming a freaking ALICORN than defeating her!!
So I did what I'm a professional at: STALLING. I kept playing to her ego, which was a thousand times larger than a BLIMP at the time, and mirracilously didn't get tortured or transformed into anything.
All I had to do until Twilight finally came back, which felt like an eternaity and a half, was entertain her using my magic, which was next to impossible, because evil is impossible to impress without it being related to evil.
She then ordered me to capture all of Twi's friends, as Twilight, to prove my loyalty to her.
I would have objected, if my life and sanity weren't possibly on the line. I was very sure she was going turn me into a white bunny, since I'm a magician, and it would be HILLARIOUSLY IRONIC, and because she litterally threatened me with that.
Luckily, I once again just used the magic of stalling, and deception, to do nothing until the real deal came back. They kicked her flank, with the power of teamwork, friendship, and deception. It was creative, though very simple in hindsight. The kind of thing some magican would use, if they weren't that talented in magic, or had no magic.
To raise everyone's morale back up after that terryfing experience, I put on a great magic show, that even impressed Twilight and the immoral magican herself. She won't admit it, but I'm very sure she was in complete awe of my magic show.
Since then, we became rivials. She has been inspired to try a lot harder to get better at real magic, and occsionally challenges me to a show off. The one advantage she does have over me, is that she knows Stage Magic, and how to do cool things without using magic. Like using smoke bombs, and other classic tricks of the trade.
If I didn't have my magic, I would be doomed beyond words. And crippled with depression....
Oh right, I'm supposed to be praising Ponyville for this stuff, instead of making it sound awful. Well, nopony got killed or brainwashed, and our resident princess learned a valuable lesson from it all, and I gained a rivial magican, and helped them become a better pony. Well, slightly better.
I know it might sound like I'm the most arrogant guy in the world, but I'm just making light of the past, and having a bit of self confidence in myself. I'm not more powerful than any of the princesses, not even the youngest of them.
I'm also not loved by everyone. No one necessarily hates my guts, that is worth acknowledging, but about everypony I meet has a decently positive impression of me.
Anyway, see what I mean by "The spice of life"? And this is only a FEW SELECT EVENTS. Every other town is completley dull, montonious, and predictable by comparison. Every day, especially every Monday, has a chance of being different, interesting, unique, exciting, and something that creates life long memories.
And don't worry, at no point was I sarcastic or snarky, during my glowing, pride filled defense, of Ponyville
