Hey, what's up, I wanna talk about cutie marks and what I think they mean, and what they do.

Apparently, yes:

A star called iPTF14hls has gone supernova - at least twice.

This has nothing to do with pony but I think it's pretty cool.

As of S7, we've had a lot of historical things revealed to us.

But I'm a little confused as to when exactly all these things happened in relation to each other.

Here's my take:

1. The Founding of Equestria by Smart Cookie, Clover the Clever, Private Pansy, Commander Hurricane, Princess Platinum and Chancellor Puddinghead.
2. The Appointment of the Two Sisters as the rulers of Equestria.

I was rewatching the last season because the new one is coming up and

Yes, yes, we all know Twilight has magic in spades, but what about our other resident overpowered horned equine?

No, no, not Starlight! I'm talking about Rarity. Today's topic is:

And y'know what? No more page breaks!

Right, so let's look at what Rarity has, yes?

So I've been looking into obscure rhymes recently. Like orange has a hill in Wales called Borenge, porridge has the River Torridge (if you're familiar with Tarka the otter you'll know that one), and silver - chilver (female lamb, the ovine equivalent of filly). Etc.

But this is essentially an addendum to the flanks =/= hindquarters blog, because the rhyme for purple is curple, and that's a name for the hindquarters/rump of a horse or donkey.

At the risk of pedantry, y'all need to get yourselves a'googling for Actual Horse Anatomy.

Ever since watching Rainbow Rocks, and seeing the conclusion where Sunset Shimmer joins the magic of the Elements of Harmony and they blast the Dazzlings with the giant alicorn construct, a thought has been waving around quietly in the back of my mind.

Did Sunset represent a seventh element (), or did she join Twilight in Bearing Magic? Personally, I'm leaning more towards the second option, which then raises some questions. So let's talk abooouuut! This:

So I've been thinking a lot about this particular topic. I happen to study (Marine) Environmental Science, and clearly weather and climate plays a decent part in shaping the environment.

So what of Equestria's weather? Today's discussion is:

Equestrian Weather and How It Differs From Ours. Because There is a Huge Difference

And break!
