This is a little harsh.
And I like the idea of an earthpony uprising, lol. :D |

@Pegasi But, rather than just writing a fanfic or something, bringing it up to Lauren as if it should actually happen in the show? |

I'll have to agree with the autistic kid above me. I don't see anything irrational to the post's statement. |
| Hemidactylus_turcicus #409862 11 months ago |
I was reffering to Pegasi btw. |

@wiress Lauren already talked about it earth ponies are not oppressed underclass, ponies don't think like that. Plus if anything Earth Ponies have the biggest range in ablies |

To put it simply,
"Necessity is the mother of Invention." Earth ponies have trains, forges, electricity, gyrocopters (Gryphon the brush-off), while the most advanced technology we've seen Unicorns use is a hot-air balloon. |

Wow. Apparently, there goes all the niceness and respect this community prides itself on. |
| nyxabuse #409929 11 months ago |
^^Twilight uses some kind of a brain-scanner in Feeling Pinkie Keen and Rarity routinely uses an electric sewing machine. And I wouldn't call a hot-air balloon particularly 'low-tech'.
The fact is, the ponies don't seem to feel any particular group feeling or factionalism; so an earth pony can't fly, so what? A pegasus can't do magic and a unicorn can't pull a train. |

Earth ponies regenerate on equestrian soil!
anyone seen that comic? anyone? |
| Emo-kingbeat #409973 11 months ago |
I like to think that Earth ponies are naturally stronger than pegasi and unicorns. |
| Kriegs #409978 11 months ago |
Earth ponies have superstrength and hyperendurance. Thus how Pinkie can cross all of Equestria and only get tired midway through, and how Applejack can pull off seemingly-impossible feats of strength and weight.
That and there's obvious crossover between supernatural abilities. Pinkie Pie has some magical talent as a cleric of Loki, Fluttershy has animal affinity like an Earth pony. |

Oh, and also: Appleloosa (sp?): in a single year, they managed to grow a successful orchard in the middle of a fucking desert. |

I always figured pegasi and would fail hilariously at planting, since they dont have the same connections to the earth |

@Kriegs
Also to add to that, our two most beloved Earth Ponies, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, had special abilities. Applejack's tail is more prehensile than anypony in Equestria so far (I mean, hot dang, it acts like another hand). Pinkie Pie apparently had powerful enough metabolism to not die of diabetes from eating that much sugar. I'd say that Earth ponies' 'connection with animals' extend to impressive control of their own bodies. Would explain Octavia and her band's prowess in playing music. |

"Ponies don't think like that" Lumpen as fuck or just lobotomized? |

seriously? none of you are bothered by the fact that he posted this on LAUREN FAUST'S Deviant Art account?
I mean by all means, call Celestia what you will all you want other places, but calling her a tyrant straight to the face of the person who created her? jesus christ the amount of retardation in that choice is staggering |
| RealityCheck #411419 11 months ago |
Pegasi and unicorns can obviously grow plants and work with animals (see Fluttershy).... it's just that normally Earth ponies are tons and tons better at it. |
| CaptainChomp #411558 11 months ago |
@411334 From what I've seen, Lauren's pretty tolerant of the fanbase. Live and let live.
I'm not saying it's not stupid to call Celestia a tyrant and imply that earth ponies are too dumb to live to her face, but I'm sure this is relatively tame compared to other replies she's received. |
