Anyway, my model is a bit different. I'd have to post the flowchart I'm working on to explain why, but this is how mine works.

unless we see an earthpony wheeling a unicorn around, i think pegasi/earthponies/unicorns/alicorns are all different species.

heres something to throw you in a loop, how is coat color determined? why does pinkie pie have a pink coat while applejack is orange?

Hey Prince, check it out, I'm not the only one working on the pony genome!

the competion just got tough! 


Whoever wrote that is making a hell of a lot of assumptions. Why would the Elements of Harmony be linked to genes? Why should the a-gene even exist? Can't Rainbow Dash and Twilight just be especially talented?

Well, the a-gene explains whymost unicorns and a pegasi can't have an alicorn baby, but I always figured that having the Aa genotype would just make one a carrier for the trait, without increasing one's special talents.  Celestia has stated that she and Luna are not native to Equestria, so I would assume that only royalty would carry the recessive allele of this trait.


what when?!

Also, it seems to be implied that Prince Blueblood, a Unicorn, is descended from Luna.

As for coat color, in humans skin color is determined by a series of at least ten genes regulating the amount of a brown pigment in the skin.  While human skin can only make brown pigment, I would speculate that Equestrian ponies have the ability to produce cyan yellow and magenta pigments in different concentrations in a manner similar to the eay human genes control melanin concentrations, forming a genetic RGB slider.

Not trying to quote this comic for the 4th-3rd time, but something like this actually happened to me once IRL. Some random once came up to my house and screamed at me for baked goods. True Story.

Okaaay. Is it me, or is Dashie some kind of magnet for people to latch life threatening illnesses/injuries to in an attempt to make a story out of it?

TV Tropes actually specifically points that out as the primary source of your typical Hurt/Comfort shipping fic in this fandom.

So yeah, pretty much. Seen It A Million Times.

By the way, the heck is up with EQD's comments system? Did they revert to Blogger or is everything still trying to transfer over to Discordquis or whatever it's called?

I bet the rockslide part in May the Best Pet Win didn't help matters either.

It's probably some form of http://tvtropes.org/...BreakTheHaughty

Dash is arrogant, so they like to make her life crash and burn.

I'm just saying it was okay at first, now it's just getting repetitive.

Aside from the one faux movie poster (which was great, I might add), I've actually seen next to nothing referencing the rockslide from MtBPW.

Dunno, maybe Seth actually was serious when he said "Dash breaks her wings fics are now banned" after the Atomic Rainboom.

EDIT: So much Tropeage on this page.

Eh, I've got the thread bookmarked 'cause it's interesting, but here's the Just Bugs Me (or whatever they call them now) page on TV Tropes as a summary:

http://tvtropes.org/...iendshipIsMagic

Basically it's about whether or not the rest of the girls took things too far and whether or not they botched the aesop. In the case of the latter it's a lot like how I'm told the reaction to Feeling Pinkie Keen was (wasn't part of the fandom when it first aired). 

I do kinda think that they screwed up the message they were trying to send and that it seems like what happened in Lesson Zero with Twilight was completely forgotten, but some of that can be chalked up to the new writer.

BTW, what did you guys think of the song by Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in the previously mentioned episode?

Don't forget the ones where she gets suicidally depressed because the wonderbolts reject her.
