i still dont quite get rhe whole story of the blanks thing,they kill a filly so somehow get turned to zombies? |

The way I see it, something like a murder happening in the world of FiM would be enough to distort things. Otherwise:
"It's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit!" |

They murder a filly in cold blood, burn her corpse(? she might have been burnt alive thou) and they do it with no regret (except for Mita). And thus, with the eerie magic of the everfree/some alicorn magic/ancient curse or w/e, they are forced to re-live that last day of Ruby's life FOREVER! (or until ??? happens)
The reason she got killed was due to getting her cutie mark btw in case you didn't know. Since no other pony in that village have had one for generations if I got it correct. |

^Yeah that pretty much sums it up.
Took me a couple of playthroughs to fully understand the story. It's actually really though out well and reminds me of something from Earthbound. |

They murdered a filly just because she got her cutie mark. Everyone else in the village had no cutie-marks and were probably jealous that a filly found hers so fast. |

No they thought that a cutie mark is a curse or a sign of doom |

But you get it wend you find your special talent, so what they're all lazy bums? |
| Kanashi1kage #420663 10 months ago |
Their is nothing to suggest they were just lazy. They simply didn't get their cutie marks.
At least until Ruby did for finding Roneo's gem for him. |

One theory is that the forest itself had that effect on them and Ruby was just unlucky.
Another is on top of the forest having that effect, Ruby wasn't native to Sunny Town and just stumbled upon the village when it was normal, made friends, then got her cutie mark for helping Roneo. Which led to her tragic death and in turn led to the village's everlasting punishment. |

It is the Everfree Forest after all, perhaps some strange creature had something to do with it. |

No one here's gonna talk about the image? All right, I will.
Lol at Grey Hoof. He's laughing at the face of death...or in this case, a zombie pony. He doesn't seem to care so much. |

Lauren Faust confirmed that Earth Ponies (and Pegasi) have passive magic. I would think that upon committing such a heinous act, such magic could be corrupted. |

>They murder a filly in cold blood >cold blood There was supsicion she was a witch or an evil enchantress if you prefer. Their motives were quite legitimate. |

>everything is fine in the village >a filly discovers something she's good at by finding a lost item >a magnifying glass appears on her flank (holy crap so ominous!) >they murder her and burn her corpse Yeeeah... totally legitimate if you ask me. You would fit right into the 16th century. |

What's worse? It's implied that Ruby wasn't the first one they killed. |
