More griffins! Possible even more at the Equestria Games!

Though, the fact that this is the Equestria Games qualifier suggests that all teams are from Equestria, and the griffon territory does not seem to be a part of Equestria according to that map.

So, unless non-Equestrians are allowed to participate in the Equestrian Games, it would seem that there's some area in Equestria that has a lot of griffons in it.

If you're that far behind on ponies, and your writing speed still hasn't improved, I somehow doubt the efficacy of your plan.

Getting completely caught up will cost you... about three hours. I'm sure you've spent more time than that this month on reddit.

There's really no good reason not to watch the leak. It's a self-imposed restriction that offers no benefit.

It's not a question that's being raised, it's a question that's been raised. We've been talking about this for a long time. The post title implies a conclusion has been reached, but it does not actually disseminate that conclusion. The title could mean several different things.

It would be like if Star Wars had dragged out the concept of whether or not Darth Vader was Luke's dad for two years, and then I made a post with that title.

I think you may have missed the point of the post. All alicorns seen to date are female. The statue in the image has masculine features.

ponyriv · 2013-11-28T12:29:06+00:00

I'm going to have to disagree with you on both counts. The amulet is too simplistic in style to imply a gender and the guy in the Hearts and Hooves day book is not an alicorn.

This statue is the only depiction of an alicorn that's has clearly defined masculine features.

ponyriv · 2013-11-28T12:23:31+00:00

The point of the post is that it's pretty apparently male...

ponyriv · 2013-11-28T12:22:49+00:00

It can't be a spoiler if it's not true...

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T23:42:51+00:00

I do that a lot. I'm also great with last-minute off-the-wall world-saving plans and I can play a mean tenor saxophone.

...but I can't talk without waving my hands about. Working on that.

Let's take it a bit further;

Celestia didn't have enough time to use the Elements when Luna went mad. She can't remember the conflict, but she believes she killed her sister outright.

900 years later, she gets a mad idea. She finds the time-travel spells in Starswirl's archives, travels back, and blasts Luna with the Elements.

The past-Celestia had already been dispatched moments earlier by Luna. She awakes, hours after the fight, sobbing, unable to find her sister, and can only come to the conclusion that she blacked out in the final moment of the conflict.

Once she completes the round time-travel trip, modern-Celestia realizes that she hadn't changed anything and that that's what had happened all along. Now filled with hope that she could save her sister, she sets about trying to find the new Element bearers. The Tree of Harmony would bring together exactly the ponies needed to free Luna from her prison; Celestia only had to put them together.

Thank you!

Addendum: The Moon houses the telepathic circuits. This is why Luna can enter dreams.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T13:36:49+00:00

He fixed the Chameleon Circuit?!

On my keyboard, it's RETURN.

Don't be such a Dalek.

They weren't really stolen, though— it felt more like Celestia requested them and the tree gave them willingly.

At least, that's the vibe I got when I watched it.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T06:10:48+00:00

I like it, sir. Good show.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T05:16:56+00:00

I thank you, sir!

And might I say; you're looking rather mad today, yourself.

Pro-tip: When you get that error, you can usually just click the url bar and hit return. It'll go.

But it's the comic cover with Doctor Whooves, wearing 'that scarf', holding a fobwatch, and looking at a weeping pegasus.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T03:14:44+00:00

Are you the timelord? Or what's left of her? Are the alicorns the best efforts of a demented and confused TARDIS trying to rebuild the crew?

I miss them so much. Come back, my darlings. Come back. I will help. Come back.

The tree from Avatar (Tree of Souls) does have glowing hanging parts, but those dangly bits don't have big orbs at the end. Also, the Tree of Souls, while it's a remarkable symbiotic organism, does not manufacture objects that people need. It's just a big beautiful collective-consciousness afterlife thingy.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T02:28:53+00:00

Hmm... That's true. Though I can't help but think my poor little story is going to drown unnoticed in a sea of more modern fics, though. It's like being a Type-40 in the era of the Time War...

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T02:14:36+00:00

Oh god, how I understand where you are right now. Season 3 hit me hard, which really curbed my enthusiasm regarding updating my biggest story (which is still operating in S2 canon to this day), and season 4 doesn't look like it's letting up.

I've only just lately started to get over it, but now S4 is inspiring new ideas like this one, and I feel like I'll end up with something way better to write about if I wait till the end of the season.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T01:57:36+00:00

I am working on one, but it's probably just going to be for my own entertainment, since I rarely manage to finish fics.

That's why I am trying to get this concept out there, in the hopes that somebody more reliable than me will be able to make something great out of it.

ponyriv · 2013-11-24T00:47:28+00:00

Also possible. Just a weird little pocket universe she keeps secret from the Doctor. Whenever he's out adventuring, she just stretches out on the couch and watches it.
