On the Aging and Development of Equus Sapiens
or, "Why pony ages are nonsense"


Spoilers for "Where the Apple Lies"

With the airing of "Where the Apple Lies", and thus the revelation of more Apple family history, I have concluded that pony ages are pretty odd. I'm going to focus on cutie marks as a marker of development, since they have been implied to occur at similar ages in most ponies, roughly coincident with the beginning of adolescence.

Three Years in the Making · 11:29pm Sep 22nd, 2015

Greetings, all!

According to the little blurb in the statistics section, SoaP was originally published on 8 September 2012. That's slightly more than three years ago. High time, I thought, for a sequel!

Story Time · 4:14am Nov 19th, 2014

Well, this has been a productive couple of weeks for me. When I mentioned having some unfinished stories sitting around, I didn't realize just how much I had. Celestia and Apple Bloom, Celestia and Luna, Twilight and Applejack, Twilight and Rainbow Dash, Celestia and Celestia...

Unpublishing E4E · 9:49pm Nov 14th, 2014

Hello, all. I have a bit of news, for those of you who have been following me for a while, and I'm afraid it's not good.

How Strong is Celestia? · 11:50pm Apr 30th, 2014

Once again, it seems I have decided to dedicate considerable thought and mathematical analysis to a show about pastel-colored, magical, cartoon horses. My target this time is that loftiest of targets, subject of infinite speculation and praise: Princess Celestia herself.

On Hyperactive, Pink Ponies · 9:33pm Dec 13th, 2013

Warning: Rant

The paint-watching scene in “Feeling Pinkie Keen” has always bothered me a bit, but not for the reason you might expect.

How Strong is Twilight? Redux · 10:51pm Nov 12th, 2013

I’ve talked before about how strong Twilight Sparkle is. Based on her lifting of an Ursa Minor in S1E06 “Boast Busters”, I put the value of one Sparkle at about 86 kW. I also said that I could look at her rage-splosion in “Feeling Pinkie Keen” to get another estimate, but that I wasn’t ready to take on the maths quite yet. Well, I’m ready now.

Shameless Plug, Part Deux · 8:57pm Oct 22nd, 2013

If you frequent pony sites around the internet, you may have heard of "Ask a Pony" blogs. Things like Ask the Crusaders, Ask Fluffle Puff, or some others. They're good fun, and most of the ones that I've seen are really good, both in terms of art and story (or at least quick jokes).

Lucid Dream · 3:02am Oct 3rd, 2013

Last night, I had a bizarre experience, and as I cannot get it out of my head, I have no recourse but to share it with all of you. The expression, “pinch me, I must be dreaming” is a reference to the commonly-held belief that it is impossible to feel pain in a dream. Thus, by inflicting physical pain on oneself, one can definitively establish that one is awake.

• By now, you’ve no doubt noticed that E4E hasn’t updated in quite some time. In fact, some of the more astute among you might have even seen that its status has recently become “On Hiatus”. Though I could make the argument that I am in no way obligated to explain my reasoning, and further that, as the act of writing such a work as E4E is strictly voluntary, I am accountable to none but myself on this matter, I feel that such claims reek of entitlement and more than a little bit of
