  • I want to work on an askfleurdelait update (Papi ought to be returning next week) but I don’t have any single questions that scream “DRAW ME!” right now.  I’d rather do something with Fleur and/or Ficow than work on an order right now, so any questions for the two would be welcome

    What is it, that deep down in your heart, you truly want to draw?

    I don’t know, that’s the problem!  I have several blogs that I could work on updating, as well as a few other things that I could work on.

  • I’m actually really proud of the last raricow update, in part because I’ve actually woken up from sleeping like that.despite never being in a traditional ‘relationship’.

  • Between the “to join us you must be like us” and lack of cutie marks, I’m surprised that no one has mentioned Starlight Glimmer or anything pertaining to today’s new episode with Papi.

    • #mlp spoilers
  • Interesting discussion incoming?

    soulsiphonmlp:

    So I watched the new episode of MLP today (no spoilers don’t worry) and it made me sit down and think about everything that was presented in the episode and in the series thus far as a whole. Anyway long story short there’s a topic I would really like to discuss. That being said I’m actually gonna tag a bunch of you in this post because I honestly want to hear someone else offer their perspective and weigh in on this maybe even offer some of your own ideas. (which of course I’d love to hear)

    There is most certainly a gap in raw power between unicorns and other nonmagical races, but not an insurmountable one.  As seen with the Hearth’s Warming play, the unicorns were once the group that would raise the sun and moon before Luna and Celestia, but they were still subject to the other races in that they cannot exist in a pure vaccuum, and need help to remain in power. 

    As far as raw potential goes unicorns do have an advantage due to the flexible nature of canonically displayed magic, but an important thing to remember is that those that can use magic well use it only with YEARS of practice and study.  Earth ponies don’t have this hurdle and can use that time to spread influence, gather followers and become a threat through wiles and power.  Pegasi can use this time to manipulate the weather in their favor, and have a more militaristic history.

    It’s not hard to imagine an Earth pony or Pegasus villain, it’s just a matter of figuring out how they come into power or pose a threat.  Earth ponies are social and physically powerful with a greater ability to manipulate their landscape and so can more effectively limit food supplies, control land routes and generally physically bully other races, but they must act with tact and wit rather than sheer brute force.  Pegasi can alter the weather as their needs dictate, be that to attack or to hold siege over an area, and can potentially do it with small, directed numbers or even with a single individual (talents allowing).

    It’s not a matter of unicorns being more powerful and being villains, it’s a matter of having the unicorns elasticity in ability making it simpler to portray them as villains.  There’s less to explain when you have the excuse of “I have magic” up front, but there’s still the aspect of time with the study required, as Starlight mentions.  It’s all a matter of how things are explained for the audience and how things are presented.  All races are viable as antagonists, unicorns are just easier to set up.
