With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Ah, Well, This, Is, A Thing, wish it was a bit more integrated, or the snippets were in a different section than threadmarks, like extra or sidestory.
In order to do that, they would have to be an extra or sidestory.

They're not. They're steadily integreating closer and closer to the "main" plot, and many people have come to consider Gravy a better protaganist than Paul.


I mean... For the Grayven stuff I'd agree. But for the occasional moment where we get reminded Sunset exists in the story? I'm not sure that's ever been central to the plot in any way. This scene is a perfect example. They're having a roundtable discussion about how magic and biology works for a race that technically speaking no one there belongs to, and the astronomical structure of a planet most of them have barely heard of and none of them can get to. All for the sake of a character that contributes nothing but an excuse for conversations like this one.

Conservation of detail? What's that, some kind of food?

Yes because just suddenly later dropping something into the story is perfectly fine, no buildup is required.

Foreshadowing? What's that?
 
Oh good.

Magic coming from the Dreaming? Fine.

Magic being limited off of a few places like Earth? Fine.

The two together, however, need some further details, because Dream, and hence his realm, is universal.

And since it seems to be an animistic universe, really universal.

I'm pretty sure the suns dream, the moons, the planets, galaxies, nebulas, etc, etc.

The sun of Oa, thanks to Desire, made a cuckold out of Dream, for crying out loud, and humans are humanoid because Sol thought that Dream's Maltusian girlfriend was aesthetically pleasing, in the Vertigo setting.
 
Some fans think that the magic Earth ponies don't use for farming is used to make them stronger that the other pony races. But since that requires regular exercise most Earth ponies don't bother.

Just compare how strong Applejack is compared to Rainbow Dash.

There is also what happens when you over exploit soil. If Earth ponies produced much more food that also would drain the nutrients of the Earth faster.

Is not that Earth ponies can't do more food farming is that it they did that they would need to move their farm locations at least once in a decade.

Why have a earth pony town in a desert? To help make the place more fertile but that takes time because doing it too fast would spell disaster as the local animals and flora wouldn't adapt to the changes.

Unless the Granny Smith age thing is wrong Earth ponies might also live longer.

Is also confirmed that Earth ponies tend to have more stamina and endurance that pegasi, see running of the leaves.

Considering Maud seemed to have several levels of Monk here , starting at 1:38 for anyone impatient, I can see that.

Of course, she's a pie, and for them the laws of physics seem to be polite suggestions, so now I'm picturing an entire family of reality warpers, with each of them a different genre.

Maud Pie's Wuxia rock collecting adventures, with rock aficionados whose words don't sync up with their mouths....
 
This implies Sunset is in her thirties when she attends highschool in the Equestria Girls timeline.
I think I ready commented on this... Might have been a couple of threads ago, though. The images we see of her leaving show her as being physically mature, and Twilight had no idea who she was. Twilight fixated on Celestia ever since the first time she saw her raise the sun. If Sunset had still been around then, she would have known about her. So either there's some sort of temporal compression going on, or Sunset was indeed attending High School in her mid-twenties.
Well that sounds pretty Saad.
It was more of an aside during his lectures on the circulatory system.
 
Well, the thread is on QQ now.
Well as long as we're on the subject, the equine butthole is a complex miracle of engineering as it has several concentric rings of muscle which produce peristaltic motion to break off each turd and be self-wiping by inverting itself. Thus, pony buttsex would rule like nothing else.

I think what Earth pony magic does is feed energy into the plants as an alternate "fuel" so that over exploiting the soil it doesn't deplete it.

Bah!

It's evolutionarily-evolved biology. Sure, it's astonishingly complicated, it managed to develop from nothing but pure chance and physics, and can find some interesting and effective solutions to some problems.

But there are also oodles of hidden patch-jobs, janky cludges, and shitty compromises everywhere. It's horrifying. Fucks sake, you can break your ribs by sneezing. If a actual biological engineer came to me with a 'miracle' like that, I'd fire them. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.

No, I think is just accelerated growth and ensuring the planrs growth healthy. Earth pony farmers basically have a sixth sence for farming plants, see Granny Smith Zap Apple ritual for example.

Is not that they can't do more, is that they go for long term projects.

Sure Earth Pony magic can help to turn deserts to fertile ground, but doing so too fast would cause a lot of nasty side-effects.
 
All this talk of magic had me wondering: how do alien species in low-magic worlds develop souls? I mean, from my understanding of WTR-verse, souls happen when background magic sticks to objects running a sapient mind, thus imprinting the mind itself into said mass of magic. So in worlds with little to no magic, does this process happens at all?

There isn't anywhere with no magic. However, people who are born and live in low-magic places do tend to have weaker souls. There is a degree of awareness of this, which is one of the reason why Source-worshipping religions are so popular.

Or someone was fucking with memories.

Well, the thread is on QQ now.
Hence the invisitext.

You forgot the "in this story" caveat. Because if there's one thing that's certain it's that somewhere on the internet (and very likely on this site) there's pony butt sex.
