If pegasususus control the weather, and the earth ponies control the ground,
what do we unicorns contribute to equestria? o.O


Before Celestia they controlled the day and the night.

I want to thank all of the artist that have drawn my OCs.

So we're unemployed D: ?
we have magic so I guess we contribute to equestria by making and powering technology   :s

like magitronics!  That's what Feather Scroll does, just putting together spell matrices and magic machines powered by magicell batteries.

I always figured it was more like a principality with an hierarchy of sorts. Unicorns are the royal guards, pegasusususus are the transport and such, and the earth ponies care for the castle and courtyards and stuff. o-o

Now biologically, the mana channels within the body are most concentrated in organs called mana glands.  These glands contain pockets of concentrate mana surrounded by cells which purify the substance.  Small resonance channels act like tiny biological pumps, bringing mana into magic resonance coils which interact with the aether of the Equestrian atmosphere.  When these coils resonate together, they create the magic fields which in turn create the observable effects, such as giving off electromagnetic waves.

Unicorn horns are comprised of a thick bundle of nerves called a horn chord with mana channels and blood vessels surrounding it and branching out into a biological array of mana glands.  Marrow insulates and protects the glands and chord from damage and excessive vibration.  Near the base of the horn are pheremone glands linked to some of the mana channels leading to a small opening at the tip of the horn.  These sensitive constructs are surrounded in turn by the bony horn itself, which being hard layers of dead cells has no nerves or blood vessels to damage.  Due to varying thickness along its length however, valleys in the horn and especially the base and tip of the horn can be sensitive to vibration and temperature differences.

Pegasus wings themselves are mostly similar to a mix between bird and bat wings; three "finger feather" bone structures extend from the wrist joint along with tendons connected to muscles at the base of the elbow joint on the wing.  These "finger feather" bones are crucial to pegasus magic.  The structure is similar to unicorn horns: a core bundle of nerves, blood vessels and mana channels with mana glands branching out from it, surrounded by protective marrow and sheathed in bone.  Unlike unicorn horns, however, the bones here are covered with two additional layers of flesh- a layer of blood vessel-dense spongy tissue, and a layer of nerve-dense skin, which are then connected to the less sensitive skin stretching between "finger feathers" and the arm.  These sensitive areas are protected by layers of down and rigid bony feathers.  When stimulated in particular manners, the spongy tissue fills with blood, causing the wings to involuntarily flare and the protective feathers to rise, exposing the sensitive down and skin beneath in a vestigial courting display.

Earth pony mana focus points are as of yet unknown, but are believed to contain similar constructs of mana channels and glands.

that simply creates a logical fallacy of self-reference, my dear sir.

Srsly srs gaiz, I think I know the ages of 5 of the Mane 6. The one exception being Applejack, because as soon as I posted this to my dA someone blew her theory to bits. ._. Anyway. http://princesslunaftw.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Pony-Ages-284724375. If you can find any holes in the rest of the Mane 6, feel free to butcher my theory to tiny pieces.  ^-^

QuoteA few problems.

-Cheerilee (or a filly resembling Cheerilee) was seen in Rarity's cutie mark flashback. That would put her in the Mane6's age group.
-There is no indication how far away the the pony 80s are from present time.
-US child labor laws aren't really a base good baseline. The Powerpuff Girls (which Faust Storyboarded for) was explicitly in the US, yet Blossom (still in Kindergarten) could get a job at a Fast Food place. MLP isn't even in the US, so its chances of using real labor laws are low.

1. I guess that would put Cheerilee at about the same age as Rarity, so we can venture to say Cheerilee is 22, let's say, but if that's right, then that would put Big Mac and Applejack out of whack.
2. I based that off of present day, but if Cheerilee was a teenager in the 80s and she was a filly at the same time as the others, maybe they're actually in the 90s?
3. As I said, I only based it off of the US labor laws, since we have no definitive labor laws based in Equestria. If in fact there are no labor laws, that would also explain the fact that Pinkie used to work at a rock farm as a filly...

Apparently I have some serious revisions to make. xD

Can I post an epiphany I had one day about a relationship between the mane six's cutie marks and their Elements of Harmony? Or does that not count?

When Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark, she was racing two bullies to try to get them to agree to leave Fluttershy alone, thus she was showing her loyalty to Fluttershy by challenging her bullies.
When Dash's Sonic Rainboom scared all of the animals on the ground, Fluttershy coaxed the animals out of hiding with her kindness.
At the sound of the Sonic Rainboom, Twilight was so frightened that she went berserk with magic.
Rarity found a whole bunch of gems, but instead of keeping them for herself, she put them all in the costumes she was making for the school play - selflessness/generosity.
Pinkie Pie discovered a feeling of great joy when she saw a rainbow for the first time, and she wanted to help others feel happiness too.
Applejack decided to stop lying about who she is, and she left Manehattan to go back to SAA where she belongs.

TL;DR = The mane six got their cutie marks while performing their Elements of Harmony.

interesting... and i can certainly see the connection between the events, but what of the cutie marks themselves?
